âIâm so happy I made the right choice and left my angel with Sam! She sent constant updates with pictures while we were on our vacation. My dog was very happy in each photo and was well taken care of. She even made sure she got her ear medication every day which was important. She got plenty of walks everyday and lots of playtime. I appreciate her dedication to making sure she feels at home. Zula blended in with her family seamlessly. I HIGHLY recommend Samđ.â
âShe 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.â
âThis 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!â
âKristin was great with Echo and even helped her become friends with her other client Mia. Echo came home tired and happy and I was able to focus on my business trip without worrying about my baby. Thanks Kristin!â
âOur dog Augie had a great stay! We received lots of pictures and updates throughout his stay, and it looked like he had so much fun. He would definitely love to stay again.â
âDoris is a soft-spoken, sweet and genuine person who relates very well to dogs. My dog, who has a lot of anxiety, went and leaned against Doris' legs almost immediately at our meet-and-greet, and was put at ease by her calmness and gentle manner. She's a natural!â
âLenford 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!â
âLaila 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.â
âLuke has now stayed with Steven and his family twice. Both times I felt confident he was in loving hands. Steven provides regular updates and is accommodating on drop off and pick up schedule. Thanks Steven!â
âOur dog was so happy and energetic when he came back from his stay with Sasha, that there was no doubt he had a great time! She even gave him his oral supplement every day. And while we were away, Sasha sent us a whole bunch of wonderful photos of him daily - relaxing, snuggling with the other dogs, exploring. The pictures were so fun that we were excitedly waiting for them every day. Needless to say, these photos gave us a peace of mind, so we could truly enjoy our vacation. Sasha is very kind and very easy to communicate with. Between her and her boyfriend, the dogs enjoy multiple walks and someone to supervise them all day. We will certainly be leaving our dog with them again and we highly recommend them!â
âJust picked up Winston from his second time doing daycare with Abbas, and we couldnât be happier! Abbas takes care of our dog like he is his own & is super communicative the entire time weâre gone. We are so happy to have found a consistent sitter for Winston and would recommend his services to anyone!â

âGavriel was absolutely amazing with my dog, Blue! She accepted my last-minute booking without hesitation and was so accommodating when I needed to extend the stay due to an unexpected emergency. She kept me updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. Itâs clear she truly cares about the pets she watches. I couldnât have asked for a better sitter â highly recommend Gavriel to anyone looking for someone reliable and compassionate!â
âAnna was absolutely amazing! She watched our Goldendoodle, Zoie, for a full week and we couldnât have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and caring, and it was clear from the start that Zoie was in great hands. We had complete peace of mind while we were away, and came home to a very happy and well cared for dog. Zoie absolutely loved her, and weâll definitely be using Anna again.â
âWhat a fantastic experience!! I was visiting Brooklyn from Texas. My pup, Xena, stayed with Will and Lauren for 4 nights and it was such a positive experience. My pup fit right in and enjoyed all the consistent walks, cuddles, and attention they gave her. They were always quick to respond, flexible, and obviously true dog lovers. Iâm so grateful for them and would definitely recommend them to others. Thanks you two!â
âAlexandra was communicative, reliable, and took great care of my senior dog. Pickup and drop-off were smooth and easy. Iâm glad I found her and would definitely book with her again.â
âI recommend Lina so much. It was pretty easy to communicate with her, and she tried her best to find ways to work out certain things. My dog looks totally fine after I want to pick him up. Although a little sad because he probably misses her đ. She always updated me with photos and videos of my dog everyday! 5 stars definitely recommend for others.â
âIf we can give more stars we would. Gaby and her husband were so accommodating on the day of check-in and out. Our flight back home was delayed due to the weather causing for us to arrive late night to pick up our baby, Loki but they encouraged us to take our time as they were willing to wait. Our Loki came back to us so happy, clean and smelling good. We were so delighted to receive cute pics and videos of our little guy while away on vacation, reassuring us that he was in great hands. I highly recommend Gaby for anyone looking for a sitter.â

I had a wonderful experience with Shania as always! She took care of my dog for almost two weeks, and I couldnât have been happier with the care she provided. My dog absolutely loves her, and she consistently kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would highly recommend her and would happily book with her again!
Ashley was amazing and my dog really loved her! 2 weeks without my dog and I canât imagine a more comfortable setup, she was so well cared for and happy when I picked her up. Ashley kept me up to date with photos, videos, etc. Iâve never felt so comfortable with my dog in someone elseâs care and this was the most time we spent apart in 10 years! Thank you so much Ashley!
Leaving your dog with anyone is super nerve-racking and can give you a lot of anxiety, but when I tell you that all of my anxiety and nervousness went away instantly when me and my dog Tyson met Michelle and Michael. Tyson immediately fell in love with them you can tell he was so happy to meet them, itâs almost as if he already knew them. Itâs something about their energy and presence. Itâll be a blessing for your dog to stay with them. Tyson is a 75 pound mostly pitbull/Labrador, so of course with our size dogs weâre always a little more nervous and worried if dog sitters are going to take care of your dog the way you want them to and I can say that Michael and Michelle went above and beyond, they sent me pictures and updated me how he was doing daily. And when I picked up Tyson, he was at peace, He didnât have any anxiety. He was really calm and happy. You can tell that he had a great stay and was well taken care of. I will highly recommend Michelle and Michael. Also their home is super clean ! Thank you again for the awesome service and for showing all the love to my boy while I was away. Tyson will be back.
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!
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. Sheâs now my go- to sitter for my furr baby.

If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 dogâs regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Howard Beach can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dogâs 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 dogâs 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, 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 dogâs 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 Howard Beach. On Rover:
- 84% 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 Howard Beach sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of youâand 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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. Youâll 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.
