“Sam was absolutely wonderful with Kulfi! She paid attention to all of our instructions and made sure to give her tons of affection and play time. Sam sent lots of cute pics too so I knew Kulfi was doing well! Sam was also very accommodating and actually came to pick Kulfi up since she lives close by. I can’t wait to book with Sam again soon!”

“Denis was absolutely wonderful with my energetic orange boy cat! He was great at communicating every day and noting anything in terms of behavior which helped make me feel calm during the early days. Not entirely sure who’s vacation was better 🐈🤍 Would highly recommend him and will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Kristin is absolutely fantastic. She was quick with her reply, extremely communicative throughout my dog’s stay and most importantly my dog came back very happy. I would highly recommend Kristin and plan on using her again.”
“Ruth-Ann was exceptional! Thank you so much for taking great care of Cookie. We appreciate the videos and pics that you sent during her stay. We didn't worry because we were confident that she was in good hands. We'll definitely book you again!”

“From a slightly crazy dog mom, leaving Pepper with a stranger was so hard for me- I was super nervous and felt like I wouldn’t enjoy my trip because I’d be worrying about her. Within the first day away, my worries were totally gone- Steven was so kind and communicative, he sent so many pictures, reassured me, and was just all around wonderful. I was wishing for a sign that she’d be okay when I left her, so if you’re reading this review and feeling the same way take this as your sign!! Thank you so much Steven!!”
“Rachel was able to accommodate my last minute boarding request which was a big relief. Thank you! Everything went smoothly and she sent updates and photos throughout the day.”
“My wife and I were always extremely skeptical about who we’d leave our dogs with. Until we met Megan, Brian, and their Beagle Duke! From the moment we met them they were very kind, friendly, & loving. Any question I had for them they were very quick to respond as well as updating us with many photos of the boys daily. We had absolutely no worries about Montego & Mamba. If you’re looking for someone to take care of your fur babies the way you do then look no further! They are THE BEST.”
“This was my first time booking with Vanessa, and it went great! We met beforehand so Maverick could get to know her and her home, which have me peace of mind. Maverick loved playing with Oreo and Moreno, and had access to the backyard all the time. Vanessa kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout his stay. I could tell he was happy and well cared for. I will definitely book with her again!”
“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”
“Michael watched our doggo, Hastings, while we were away on an anniversary trip. While we were away, Michael was communicative and flexible when we had some travel issues. We felt confident that Hastings was in great hands! We would absolutely book with Michael again!”
“Tiffany and Joel were my best experience on rover yet - they were very communicative about my dog, ensured he stayed active, shared tons of pictures, and kept a close eye on how he was doing at every point during his stay. Will definitely be requesting another stay with them!”
“Lenford was incredibly communicative and caring for my anxious girl. I was very nervous to leave her, but he took excellent care of my baby and will be my go-to going forward!”
“Emerald and Minty took such good care of my little guy while i was out of town! She sent so many pictures and kept me updated about everything going on. My dog has his quirks and can be a bit anxious, but everything went smoothly and I felt so relaxed knowing he was being treated like a king! Could not recommend Emerald and Minty enough!!”
“We just left our dog Freddie with Steven and his family for the holidays and will definitely be sending Freddie there again soon. I got lots of updates and pics and Freddie was all good while there and now that he’s home. Really appreciate Steven for taking wonderful care of our pup!”
“Jameeka was great! She provided daily updates and pictures of my puppy! He looked very happy and comfortable. So happy we went with her. Definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and we will be using her service again! Thank you so much Jameeka!”
“Abbas was really friendly with our dog and sent great updates. They walked a lot and the dog enjoyed it! Their apartment is great and looks like they were able to use their patio.”
“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!”

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!
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!
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.
