He even gave her a bath and blow dry. The love is real! I felt completely at ease knowing Andie was in such great hands. I will absolutely be booking with John again. Highest recommendation! ❤️🐾”

About: Hi there! My husband and I are lifelong animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I had my beloved pug for 17 wonderful years, and during his senior years, I cared for him closely — including when he could no longer walk — so I understand the special attention older pets need. My husband also grew up with two dogs and a cat, and together we’ve cared for friends’ pets many times over the years. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or special care for senior pets, we always make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and comfortable — just like part of the family. We’d love to give your furry friend the same care and affection we gave our own. ❤️ I work from home most of the time, and my husband also works full-time remotely. We additionally have a live-in part-time sitter for our children. Because of this, someone is almost always home and available for walks throughout the day. We have a fully fenced backyard where pets can safely explore and get fresh air. Inside, our living room is spacious, so they can move around freely and relax. And yes—dogs are welcome on the couch if they’d like to snuggle! Our children are used to having animals and very gentle with them.

He is generally very anxious and an older dog so I am always a little wary leaving him behind but I am glad we found Michael and he had a comfortable stay at Michael's house. Michael and his wife were wonderful and always very responsive and flexible with my last minute changes.”

Our pup is very energetic, but she was able to keep him calm from the second we handed over his leash. Our trip away was smooth because we knew our pup was being taken care of. We 110% recommend to anyone and we will definitely be returning clients for our next trip away!”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lillian and Picasso! They were incredibly compassionate, patient, and caring while watching Ozzie, my very shy and timid boy. From the start, they took the time to earn Ozzie’s trust, never rushing the process and always respecting what he was comfortable with. Lillian’s responsiveness was also outstanding—I always felt at ease knowing that Ozzie was in such attentive hands and she shared so many updates with me. It’s rare to find someone who truly understands and cares for animals the way Lillian does. Picasso was also such a sweet doggy coach, letting Ozzie know everything was okay and giving him lots of attention and comfort during his stay. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a kind and affectionate sitter!”

“Lindsay took such good care of my pup Mango for a whole three weeks while I went on vacation in July. A week prior my pup had a toe infection and Lindsay went above and beyond to care for her. As a dog mum It’s such a relief to find someone like Lindsay who loves your pup with all her heart and exercise the most tender care with them. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the time I was traveling. Lindsay was super professional from the get-go. She’s responsive and accommodating. Leave your pup with her you don’t have to worry about a thing. Lindsay is highly recommended from my personal experience. My pup is an elder dog with anxiety issues; Lindsay was so patient with her.”

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!

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!

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 14,206 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Howard Beach. About 88% of Howard Beach sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d 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.

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
