“She was great with Max. Max loved her, she is very kind and cooperative. She updated me with lovely pictures of him and took great care of him. I would definitely have her take care of him again.”
“Regina is absolutely amazing. I knew she was wonderful right from our meet and greet. She met my adult dog Otto and my foster puppy Lula. Lula stayed with Regina for over a week and she was so accommodating and helpful. Lula was growing so much and destroyed all her toys so Regina even bought her a harness and some toys! She was worried Lula would be sad because she got so attached to her that she even walked her over to me so that Lula would see Otto in hopes that that would cheer her up! I now use her for walks when I'm in the office and stays if needed! Regina is wonderful and Lula loved her so much 🥹”
“Anky was absolutely incredible with Greta! I was a little nervous about having someone watch a puppy since they can be such a handful, but Anky was amazing from the start. She treated Greta like her own, gave her so much love and attention, and made sure she had all the care she needed! which is a lot at this age! We felt completely at ease knowing Greta was in such good hands. I would highly recommend Anky to anyone!”
“Margarita and Cristian took wonderful care of my dog, Gracey, while I was away for 10 days abroad. They sent pictures and let me know how she was doing. I provided notes and suggestions about Gracey as she has anxiety and she managed to adjust really well in their environment and with the other dogs that had overlapped with Gracey’s stay. I look forward to when I need to have Gracey stay with them in the future.”
“Adriana was such a savior for us this past week, she took great care of our little friends. Sent us pics everyday ensuring that they were being treated great and happy and around loving energy. We will definitely be going back to Adriana in the future.”
“Diana was very responsive and professional with my stay for my young high energy dog. She sent adorable pictures very often which made me happy while I was away. Her home is spacious and clean, and there's a backyard which was perfect for my dog to go potty in the snowy weather during my trip. Would definitely recommend and book again! Thank you Diana!!”
“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!”
“Atlas stayed with John & Madeleine for 2 week in January. I got regular updates & they always responded promptly if I needed to get in touch. He loved it there, and I will definitely rebook!”
“Hannah was fantastic! Our dog Tutu was so well cared-for, cozy, and happy with her. She sent updates and photos every day and we felt so glad he was in a safe, loving place. Highly recommend!”
“Laila was amazing with my girl. She was attentive and patient with her anxiety and spoiled her rotten! So many cute videos/pictures with updates as well as great feedback on her behavior. 10/10 Laila is amazing.”
“Kiersten & Casey really are the best sitters!! I am always at ease whenever Nalu stays with them, they do such a great job at always keeping me updated with lots of pictures!”

“Alyssa was so great with Goose! She was super responsive and we loved all the photo updates while we were away. We are also so happy he had a sweet companion/playmate in Willow.”
“Iwona was great with Mason! Really appreciated how well he looked upon pick up. It was clear she took the time to groom his face while he was in her care. He was a very happy and content little boy in her care.”
“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.”

“wow, what an incredible person to find. Ben was communicative, heartfelt and caring while watching Soda for six days. Soda can be quite shy when it comes to strangers, but clearly warmed up to Ben (and Colby) quickly. i have no doubts throughout my travel whether Soda was well taken care of, and i’m immensely grateful for his diligence as a caretaker. would 100% recommend to any parent!”

Ashely was so great with Gus! Very communicative. Asked questions prior to watching him, sent photos and kept me updated on how he was doing during his stay. Those qualities are very important to me as a dog mom especially with an overly excited golden retriever. He came home tired so I know he had a good weekend with her!
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!

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.

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 Howard Beach 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 Howard Beach.
<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 Howard Beach sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

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.
