“I have a senior dog with some specific needs and Jiaxu took great care of her while I was away! She sent me photos, videos and updates every day and made sure to clarify any questions she had so that she could take the best care of my dog. I would leave my dog in her care again and would definitely recommend her to other pet parents. 😊 Thanks, Jiaxu!”
“Tiffany and Joel were amazing through all of Lily’s stay! They provided consistent updates with pictures and videos and always responded immediately if I reached out. They were also boarding another dog at the time that Lily adored! I loved that she could be social there! They were very accommodating to switch from drop-off to a late pick-up when I had an unexpected flight delay. I felt comfortable and at ease with Lily at Tiffany and Joel’s! I will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Caterina was terrific with Fala! She sent updates and photos + videos throughout Fala's two night stay and despite generally stormy weather, got Fala out as much as possible. I look forward to booking with Caterina again!”
“Stella was great! Austin is a little anxious & reactive but Stella was so accommodating & patient with him. I get nervous leaving him with new sitters since we just moved but I knew he was in good hands with Stella & Koukla. Stella provided me regular updates & took Austin on walks, to the park & kept him so busy & happy while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Stacey and Andrew took amazing care of our dog Benny! They were so communicative, accommodating, and flexible. We would definitely book with them again in a heartbeat.”
“Ryan was a phenomenal sitter! He was quick to accept my last minute request. He was attentive and followed all my instructions while sending video and picture updates at my preferred cadence! Ryan is great with dogs and even offered a few toys and treats of his own while checking with me first to see if ok. Ryan was an amazing sitter and I plan to use him again!”
“First time boarding with Angela and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my baby. She is incredibly sweet and it’s obvious she has a special love for animals. I won’t trust my dog with anyone else now, so grateful to find her through this app. Angela goes above and beyond in all ways to make your dogs’ stay as comfortable as possible and she’s super easy to coordinate with. I’ve already asked her to watch my baby when I go out of town next month… when you find the right sitter you know!!!”
“Yuliia and her partner have cared for my senior dog many times over the last year. They are so caring and provide regular updates, photos, and videos. They ask good questions and are careful with my dog’s medication and will report if they see his health and anxiety change. I always feel my dog is in great care with Yuliia when I’m traveling - I know he loves staying with her and it’s like his own vacation; he’s always happy and relaxed when he comes back to me.”
“Mykala was awesome! She took great care of Saffy and was really flexible when my travel plans changed & I had to book an additional night. I've already booked Mykala again for my next trip and I know Saffy will be excited to see her.”
“Lal is an amazing sitter! She is always so accommodating and makes sure my dog Margot is well taken care of. She sends plenty of updates, which gives me great peace of mind while I’m away. She’s incredibly responsive, responsible, and clearly cares for the pets she watches. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Cant recommend enough Tamara! Pepper came happy, and had a good weekend! Easy communication, very flexible and kind when our flight was delayed. Could really see they took care of him very very well!! I was very relaxed knowing he was in good hands. I will no hesitate in contact her again! Thank you Tamara!”
“Steven was great! Very responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos while I had some time away. My Luigi was very comfy and cozy while staying with Steven. Would recommend”
“Luzia and Laura were so great with my shih tzu Ruthie! She got all the cuddles she needed and I got all the picture updates I could have asked for. Will definitely be booking with them again.”
“Zemei did a great job taking care of Kenzie. She proactively sends videos and photos and I felt very comfortable leaving her there. She was always very accommodating to my flight times. I will use her again in the future.”
“LOVED PAMELA!!!! I had a trip scheduled to Texas for my nephew’s 2nd birthday party. I was extremely nervous to book a sitter on Rover because it was my first time leaving my 2 girls. However, once I met Pamela for the Meet and Greet, my 2 fur babies were instantly connected with Pamela! While I was in Texas, she sent me photos throughout my entire trip. My girls were literally glued to Pamela, that’s how much they loved her! Pamela’s kind and warm personality makes booking your pups stressed-free. She’s amazing and I can’t wait to book again!”
“Kecia did a great job of taking care Minnie! I appreciate everything she did to make her feel comfortable. She took her on walks, had a nice outdoor space for her, and had a sweet dog that Minnie loved to play with. She also gave her plenty of treats! Thanks for taking good care of her!”
“Michelle is lovely and our dog was so happy to be with her for a week! We really appreciated that she was able to work from home so our dog wasn’t alone for too long. Michelle sent photos and updates daily. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Sanaz was so great for agreeing to watch Roscoe last minute. She sent update photos and messages every day. He also was in such a happy mood when I went to pick him up. Will definitely be requesting her again in the near future.”
“Emily was so sweet and attentive to Teddy! She was also very communicative and thorough, sent multiple updates and photos throughout his stay :)”

Sage was fantastic with Haru! She really took the time to understand Haru's quirks, habits, and needs and made sure to provide him with a fun and comfortable environment while we were away. The frequent updates and photos to keep us in the loop were also greatly appreciated! We're so grateful that Sage was able to watch Haru while we were away and will definitely rebook with her in the future!
Wei was amazing with Gracie!! She sent daily pictures & when I picked Gracie up I could tell she didn’t want to go!!! And double thank YOU to Wei for keeping Gracie extra days since I had to stay longer because of a family emergency! Looking forward to our next bookings!
I can’t recommend Cody enough. He watched my 1 year old Frenchie Gizmo for six days and took better care of him than I could’ve hoped. From the start he asked all the right questions so I knew Gizmo was in good hands, and he was always super quick to respond. He kept me updated with photos the whole time which put me at ease. Zero stress on my end. He lives right by the dog park so Gizmo got tons of outdoor time and walks, and he even worked on some training. Gizmo came home better behaved than when he left. Cody and his partner are both home so Gizmo was supervised the entire time and never left alone. Cody made safety a priority and made sure I was comfortable too. Honestly Gizmo didn’t even want to come home lol. That says it all. If you want a sitter who’s reliable and actually cares, book Cody. I definitely will again.
She took such amazing care of my dog! Honestly, she is the best person I’ve gone to for boarding, and I will definitely be going back. Her communication skills are excellent—she is always on point and keeps me updated, which gives me so much peace of mind. I feel completely safe knowing my dog is in her care. You can truly tell that she cares about the dogs she looks after. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again! ❤️🐶
Robin is the BEST! We did a meet and cute to make sure our baby got acclimated with her place before booking, and Robin was super communicative throughout the entire process. She sent so many photos throughout the boarding, and I could tell Milo had the best time with her. He went on lots of walks and had plenty of play time. We have an adorable but reactive dog so we are very picky with who we can entrust with our dog. Robin was understanding and she took amazing care of Milo despite these challenges. I would ask Robin to dogsit Milo again without hesitation. It is very obvious that Robin has lots of experience with dogs and genuinely loves and cares for dogs. We were so so so pleased with our experience.
We absolutely loved having Laura watch Topanga! From the very beginning, she was so patient with her every step of the way. Topanga has separation anxiety and can take some time to warm up to new people and new environments, so the fact that she willingly went with Laura when we dropped her off and got comfortable so quickly meant EVERYTHING to us. Laura really took the time to understand Topanga and her needs. She never forced her into anything, especially when she first arrived, and allowed her to get comfortable at her own pace. She communicated with us throughout the weekend, which gave us so much peace of mind, and she gave Topanga plenty of snuggles and affection, which we know helps calm her anxiety. What we appreciated most was how much Laura tailored the entire weekend around Topanga and what made her comfortable. It truly felt like Topanga was being cared for and loved, not just watched. Being able to travel three hours away and actually relax knowing that our prized possession was safe, comfortable, and getting ALL the love was priceless. ♥️ We are so grateful to Laura for taking such wonderful care of our girl and would absolutely trust her with Topanga again!
Sarah has been a fantastic dog sitter for Loki for almost two weeks. She’s a very caring person making sure Loki was ok, and sending regular updates so I wouldn’t have to worry about my dog while away. Super flexible and nice person to deal with, would 100% recommend her service and aim already looking at booking with her soon as Loki was o sad to leave her place. Thank you Sarah!
Iryna took such great care of my dog Rupert. He generally doesn’t sleep or eat well when in an unfamiliar place and she made him feel right at home. She sent us regular updates and we could immediately tell that Rupert was happy and content. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Rupert was in good hands. By the time we picked him up, we weren’t sure if he wanted to leave since he was having so much fun. We can’t thank her enough and will definitely leave Rupert with her again. ❤️🐶
Anastasia is both warm and competent. Karlie loved her, and we felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. Anastasia made sure she received her medications as needed and took great care of her throughout our time away. We’re so grateful for Anastasia and will definitely use her again—in fact, she’s already on the calendar for Karlie’s next stay! Highly recommend!

There are 14,464 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Long Island City. About 88% of Long Island City sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
