“Wow! Amy and her family were amazing, we left our two girls for a week with her and I can’t ask for more. Amy sent a lot of pictures and communicated all the time with us. Will be leaving our girls with her again soon!!”
“Our dog was so happy and energetic when he came back from his stay with Sasha, that there was no doubt he had a great time! She even gave him his oral supplement every day. And while we were away, Sasha sent us a whole bunch of wonderful photos of him daily - relaxing, snuggling with the other dogs, exploring. The pictures were so fun that we were excitedly waiting for them every day. Needless to say, these photos gave us a peace of mind, so we could truly enjoy our vacation. Sasha is very kind and very easy to communicate with. Between her and her boyfriend, the dogs enjoy multiple walks and someone to supervise them all day. We will certainly be leaving our dog with them again and we highly recommend them!”
“Narly was great from start to end. Communication was excellent and the detailed updates (including pics) were frequent. I strongly recommend her for any boarding needs and will definitely use her in the future. Thanks again Narly.”
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received! She was kind, reliable, and treated him like one of her own. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave him, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my boy!”
“Juliana made me feel so at ease leaving Tilly with her while we went on vacation. Typically Tilly is with us 24/7 and she is not used to being away from us. She did really well at Julianas and she sent me daily updates, which I greatly appreciated. I’m happy to know I have someone that Tilly felt safe and comfortable.”
“I just love the way she cared for my pet Dusty, it was his first time with her and she managed it. In the Beginning he was a little difficult at the end he improved greatly I could see the changes in him at home. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I would consider her again.”
“Rachel was amazing! I truly appreciate the updates each evening. It put me at ease while I was away. She was very observant of Toby’s behaviors and his comfort level which I appreciated. Toby & I can’t wait to book again. Thanks again Rachel ❤️”
“Iwona was very attuned to my dog’s emotional needs and was always communicative and responsive. I wouldn’t doubt booking boarding with her again the next time I’m out of town.”
“Jessica was so amazing with my Chloe all weekend! She gave frequent updates with photos & was very responsive. I would definitely recommend her if you want your fur baby to be well taken care of!”
“Max loves staying with Thai! We knew he was in good hands when we left Max to go out of town for a couple of days. Max also enjoys the company of Thai’s dog Dexter. I think Max finds his presence comforting and it eases his anxiety. Sometimes Max won’t eat at other dog sitter’s, but he had no problem with this at Thai’s. I highly recommend!”
“My dog literally came back home so tired from having fun. He received excellent treatment he had another dog to play with (which was great to wear him out) I was sent multiple pics throughout the day letting me know that Ac was in excellent care. I will use them again and again 🙏🏽”
“This was Timmy’s third stay with Denis and his wife, and at this point, they’ve truly become his home away from home. The moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in the best hands. What stands out most is the genuine love and care they show him. The daily photos and videos always make us smile because you can clearly see how comfortable, happy, and loved Timmy is. The cuddles, attention, and affection they give him are so heartfelt—it’s obvious they treat him like one of their own. Knowing Timmy is with people who care for him so deeply allows us to fully relax and enjoy our trip without any stress or worry. Denis and his wife are repeat sitters for life, and we’re incredibly grateful to have found them. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, trustworthy, and truly exceptional pet sitters.”
“Andrej took great care of my pup. I loved getting his daily updates, check-ins, and the care he gave her when she was obviously nervous at first. Upon pickup, it was very clear she had a great time staying with Andrej. I will definitely be booking her again with him!”
“Michele and her family were absolutely amazing with my dog, Virgo! From start to finish, they showed so much love, patience, and care. They made him feel right at home and treated him like part of their family. Michele kept me updated with messages and adorable photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. When Virgo came home, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I can’t recommend Michele and her family enough we will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Joey is an amazing sitter. We have had our pets at his place several times. Our pups are very comfortable and love spending time with Joey and he spends pictures daily. We’ll be booking again in the future!”
“Sam and her family were so loving and amazing with my 3 year old Bichon, Barkley! I travel for work often and was relieved to know she was happy and loved while I was away. Sam went adorable pictures everyday of my Stay which made me happy and at ease. I definitely Plan on using Sam again. Thanks so much! Xoxo”
“We were very nervous to leave our two dogs as we’ve never left them before. By the meet and greet Lynn made us feel comfortable and confident that our girls will be in good hands. I can’t say enough how great Lynn is. She’s friendly, professional, and has a great understanding of dogs. She sent us updates and pictures twice a day, and was always available for us to check in and see how things were going. Our girls can be timid and anxious with people, but they clearly felt comfortable at her home and really enjoyed their stay. We’d 100% use Lynn again!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Far Rockaway on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 13,484 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Far Rockaway. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Far Rockaway sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Far Rockaway landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Far Rockaway home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Far Rockaway.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Far Rockaway sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
