“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”
“David and his wife were FANTASTIC! They treated my dog Tati with love and care. She has horrible separation anxiety so we are selective with who we trust but we would definitely hire them again. They sent regular updates and were really responsive. I’m happy to have found a reliable sitter in Bushwick and would highly recommend!”
“Steven and his wife took incredible care of Stede- he got frequent playtime and we were super reassured by daily photos and videos. Extremely kind, friendly people!”
“Pop had the greatest time with Margarita and Cristian! We appreciated the frequent updates and how attentive they were to his schedule. We will definitely be back!”
“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.”
“Kristen was amazing to work with! She sent daily updates with adorable pictures of my little old lady, which totally eased my nerves since it was my first time leaving her in someone else's care. I'd happily leave my dog with her again.”
“Vanessa is very professional and attentive with Storm. She makes sure that her medication is given on time with her food. Vanessa has watched Storm several times and we've been very happy with her great service. We will continue to use her.”
“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 ❤️”
“My dog is like my furry kid. He’s very special to me so whenever I have to leave him I get super anxious. Lenford eased that anxiety. He was very warm and welcoming to me and my dog. He made me feel like I had nothing to worry about and that my dog was in caring hands. He’s also really communicative. He sent me lots of pictures and video to keep my updated on how my dog was doing in his care. Lenford is amazing and will be my go to from now on,”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Vanessa was kind, patient and responsive. This was my first time leaving Jax with a sitter and she put me at ease the entire time. I received daily pictures and updates. I would recommend Vanessa to anyone that is nervous about leaving their pet for the first time.”
“Stephanie and her friend are fantastic! They enjoyed spending time with my Enzo. I received photos and videos from every walk. Enzo is happy! Always in touch and responded to my messages. A convenient function to pick up and bring your pet back to me👍. I will definitely recommend such reliable dog sitters to all my friends!!!”
“Erica is a fantastic sitter!! She made my senior pup Ruby feel comfortable and happy and sent me awesome detailed updates with adorable pics along the way :) Very grateful to have such a reliable, kind and responsible sitter in the area and can’t wait for Ruby to stay with her again soon! Thank you again!!”
“Kiersten & Casey were (/are) amazing. Highly communicative, tons of photos, clearly massive dog lovers with lots of experience. Can’t say enough good things!”
“Jameeka was so loving and attentive and treated our girl like her own! We got photos or videos everyday and I could tell that Wendy was having a good time playing with the other doggies. She even got a bath from Jameeka on the last day so she came home looking like a million bucks!”
“Jasmil once again was amazing with Papa! She and her family cared for him as if he was their own :) she is so patient with him and sends the best updates throughout his stay. I will always recommend Jasmil!!”
“Hiroko and her daughter were great! Their communication, care, and understanding for Rolo’s needs was reassuring. Hiroko is organized as well & I appreciated the informative daily updates. I will be using her services again in the future & highly recommend.”

I really appreciate the love and care they took of my fur baby. The thing I enjoy the most was the meat and greet so that my dog had some familiarity with the family. They met my expectations and he will gladly return in the future. Thanks for all that you’ve done.
Kevin and Chie were EXCELLENT! They cared for and treated my sweet Teddy sooooo amazing. I was updated throughout the days with lots of pictures and videos. Teddy was smiling the whole stay! Chie kept Teddy with her at all times. I will be rebooking FOR SURE next time. They are great and caring + very responsible! Thank you so much again!

My dog had a great time with this sitter! She was very caring towards him and sent us daily pictures and updates. My dog came back very happy and healthy!! I appreciate her being so kind and warm during his stay. I will definitely book her in the future…I highly recommend her! Thank you.
Arianna is amazing. Reading her profile her standard of care about her business and the animals. I knew I wanted to book with her but we still set up a FaceTime to make sure. Her disposition is so sweet; I knew Bodhi would be in good hands. He was with her for 4 days and I got to see him, hot pics and updates. She’s now my go- to sitter for my furr baby.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Howard Beach on Rover is $42.8 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 13,786 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Howard Beach. 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 Howard Beach 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 Howard Beach 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 Howard Beach 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 Howard Beach.
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 Howard Beach 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.
