“Wendy and her family did a great job taking care of sparkle. I picked her up yesterday and I do believe sparkle is still looking for Wendy and family. We would definitely have you sit for sparkle again thank you.”

About: For the past six months, I’ve been caring for my own Shih Tzu, and she inspired me to become a pet caregiver. Taking care of her has taught me the importance of patience, love, and responsibility. I have experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, grooming, administering basic care, and making sure she feels safe, happy, and comfortable. Caring for my dog has shown me how rewarding it is to provide pets with the attention and affection they deserve, and I’m excited to give the same level of care to every dog I look after. I'm currently working part-time. I only work Monday, Thursday, 7 hours and Friday 3 hours, which means that I have a lot of time to dedicate to your pet ❤️ I also have a 6-month-old dog of the Shihtzu breed so your baby will have company 🥰 I have a house with a patio in front of the house with a defense, also a backyard for the kids to play, the backyard has no defense because it connects with the parking lot of the house, they will have daily walks and above all I’ll take them to the park, parks where dogs are allowed all under precautions

I got lots of pics and videos Bleu during my time away. She looked happy and comfortable and that’s all I could’ve hoped for.”
“Doris was a great sitter for my cat, Mona. She was kind, attentive, and showed Mona so much love—Mona really took to her. It gave me peace of mind knowing Mona was in good hands. I’d definitely book with Doris again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter. ❤️”
“This was Timmy’s second stay with Denis and his wife, and once again, everything was absolutely perfect. Timmy stayed with them for 12 nights, and from the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he remembered them and felt comfortable right away. He was calm, relaxed, and not nervous at all, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Denis and his wife truly treat Timmy like family. They showed him so much love, care, and attention throughout his stay, and it honestly felt like he was at his second home. We knew he was in great hands the entire time. We’re so grateful to have found sitters we completely trust, and we will absolutely continue booking with them in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for kind, reliable, and attentive pet sitters.”

My cat Lucki didn’t want to leave he really liked it there and it’s like his second home now😊 will definitely be rebooking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter or boarding service! ❤️”
“Krystal took wonderful care of our dog, Joules, while we were away for two weeks. We were initially nervous about leaving our older dog for that long, but Krystal made the experience completely stress-free. She kept us updated regularly, gave Joules plenty of attention and long walks, and clearly cared about his well-being. We came home to a happy dog and couldn't be more pleased. We highly recommend Krystal!”

“Hannah was the absolute BEST sitter! This was our first time using Rover and we feel so lucky it was with Hannah. Our dog Alfie has some funny quirks, resource guarding, and some unpredictable reactivity with other dogs and Hannah calmed any nerves we had going into the overnight stay. She was highly communicative, sent great pictures, and Alfie felt right at home! Would highly recommend Hannah to anyone in search of a reliable dog sitter, we will definitely be reaching out to her again for future stays!”
“We had such a great experience with Sam! She took wonderful care of my dog for 9 days and made the whole process completely stress-free. This was the longest time we’ve been away. She kept me updated every day with messages, photos or videos, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I truly appreciated her kindness, reliability, and attention to detail. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!”

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Far Rockaway can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Far Rockaway home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
