“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.”
“Brandon and Ruth-Ann did awesome! Just to give background I’m shipping my dogs overseas and me and my family had to leave before the dogs. They went above and beyond and made sure they got to their flight in time with everything they needed. They were very friendly and flexible 10/10!”
“This was our first experience with both Rover and Ariella L. We had an excellent experience with both. Ariella was very attentive to both our dogs and followed up virtually everyday with updates and pictures. Both dogs were also very comfortable with her and her dog. The environment was spacious and clean. We plan to use her to watch our dogs again in the near future. Mary”
“I can not praise Vanessa enough. I had a quick out of town trip and my usual sitter cancelled the day before i was scheduled to leave. I found Vanessa, and she was wonderful. Not only accommodating and calming - she answered all my questions with grace, understanding it was stressful. ( i may well be overbearing when it comes to my puppy) She sent me photos, and kept me up to date with Aubreys progress. Vanessa is a 5 star sitter, and i will now call her first when i need to have someone look after Aubrey. Thank you Vanessa!”
“My Coco loved her stay with Doris. This was her first time with an extended overnight boarding and she enjoyed her. In the pictures and videos she looked very happy with her cuddle time. Would book with Doris again.”
“Very positive first experience with Emerald! She greeted us warmly. She sent pictures daily and let me know how he was adjusting. Her little dog Minty was gentle and patient for our shy pup. Everything went smoothly so we’d be happy to book with her in the future”
“Erica is the best. This was a very last minute booking and everyone was busy. She was the only one who said yes and it felt like it was meant to be. She took care of my dog very well and I will 100% book her in the future. Thank you Erica”
“I needed to find a last minute sitter as my usual one is unavailable. She is local to me which is great. We arranged for a meet and greet with our dogs and all went well (her dogs are so sweet!). She is very accommodating to my dog's needs and after picking her up the next day, she was so exhausted from a great time with Lauren and her family (humans and pets). We will definitely be booking with Lauren again!”
“Nachay did a wonderful job caring for my dog! She kept me updated throughout the stay with lots of photos, which I really appreciated—it made me feel comfortable knowing my dog was happy and well cared for. Communication was smooth and consistent, and she was very easy to work with from start to finish. My dog came home relaxed and clearly well looked after. I would definitely book with Nachay again and highly recommend her!”
“Juliana and her family were fantastic and really loved my dog. Juliana sent daily updates and I would highly recommend her to take care of your pup!”
“We boarded our dog with Dominique, and she was fantastic. She took great care of our dog while we were out of town, and sent us daily photos, videos and updates. She was easy to talk to, professional, and communicative. We absolutely recommend her and will definitely ask Dominique to watch our dog next time we are out of town.”
“Rhonda did a phenomenal job caring for my 1 year old, highly energetic Pomeranian. She sent feedback (pictures) each day to let us know how he was doing AND she took him on a little adventure to Coney Island. From the moment I met her in person, I felt confident that I made the right choice in choosing her. You will not regret leaving your furry friend with Rhonda.”

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!

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.
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, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Far Rockaway. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
