“This was my first time leaving Bella, and it was for over two weeks, so I was a bit nervous at first. Ariana was amazing — she sent pictures and videos regularly, which really comforted me and made me feel at ease. I’m a clean freak, and I was so impressed that everything I gave her — Bella’s bowls, toilet tray, and other items — came back spotless. Bella is quite picky and doesn’t like everyone, but she absolutely loves Ariana, which says everything about the care and love she received. I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter. Highly recommended!”
“He was left in such good care! From the second my baby was dropped off he was so happy and when I picked him up he was so happy and calm! Would recommend!”
“Sam was great with Milo! Sent photos and was communicative about pickup and drop off. He came back happy and healthy and we will be working with Sam again soon!!”
“Doris is amazing! I almost don't want to give a review in case she will get booked up by other people and then Milo won't get to stay with her. Doris is very attentive and always sends pics and Milo comes home happy. I trust that Milo whi started going to Doris as a puppy, is in good hands with her and her daughter.”
“I highly recommend Karla for anyone’s pet care needs. She was friendly, responsive and a delight to work with. She provided daily updates on my dog’s day with pictures. I look forward to working with her again!”
“Isabella made leaving my Nova easy and I was at ease knowing she was in good hands. Isabella allowed Nova to get familiar with her environment. She sent pictures of Nova interacting with another pitbull. Her playing and having fun. Love the fact that she was in a secured area. Isabella yard was fence. I would pick Isabella again to care for Nova.”
“Emerald was absolutely wonderful! She was communicative, sent me so many cute photos and videos, flexible with drop-off and pick-up, and so easy to work with. She has a dog park in her building ,which is amazing, My dog Joy had the best time. Being a dog mom herself, you can tell she truly gets it, and I trusted her with Joy 100%. I highly recommend her to any pet parent. Thanks Emerald, Joy misses you already, I can tell!”
“Lina is an incredible cat sitter! I trusted her with my two six-month-old kittens, and they had an amazing time under her care. She was responsive, kind, and it was clear she has a wealth of experience with pets. Lina sent plenty of photos and always provided quick updates and answers to any questions I had, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even went above and beyond by administering antibiotics to one of my kittens who was recovering from an ear infection—a task she handled with ease and professionalism. I’ll be booking her again without hesitation anytime I need someone to watch my fur babies!”
“Great experience! My dog was well cared for over the weekend, and I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. Communication was great, and I would definitely recommend this sitter and book again!”
“Shen is the best dog sitter we’ve ever booked. She communicated effectively and treated our pup as if he were her own child. We did not have to worry about anything. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I grew up with dogs around me since I was 10! I have experience with senior dogs and those that are sick or post-op. I also work well with high- (and low) energy dogs! I am also usually the go-to for boarding among my friends and family! 😎 I’m currently working a typical 9am-5pm full time job. My availability are as follows: available for boarding on weekends; can walk your dog(s) or drop-in after 5:30pm on weekdays but anytime on weekends; always available to house-sit! For boarding, I have plenty of space in my home for your fur baby(s)! I can easily crate them if needed. As I recently moved, I had to leave my fur babies behind with my family back home so it won’t be a worry if your fur babies don’t get along with other dogs :) For house-sitting/drop-in visits, anything you and your fur baby’s needs!
“Atlas stayed with John & Madeleine for 1.5 weeks, his fourth or fifth time staying with them. He was excited to be dropped off and stay, and I got regular updates. Definitely recommend!”
“John went above and beyond for me and my dog, Andie! Great communication, flexible, and thoughtful throughout her stay. She was so genuinely loved and cared for by John and his family. 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! ❤️🐾”
“This is the first time Tuna has boarded with anyone and Kristin did an amazing job!! Great communication, flexibility and sent picture/video everyday! Will be booking with Kristin again in the future. Tuna had the best time! ❤️❤️”
“Ashley did a wonderful job watching my sweetheart cat Spinx for 13 days. She sent pictures every day and Spinx immediately bonded with her (which is not typical). Spinx’s days were enriched with plenty of pats, snuggles, toys and cat tv! She seemed very comfortable in Ashley’s home and was always curling up adorably on the couch or playfully rolling around on her back. I would recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a Petsitter! Will definitely book again.”
“It was my first time leaving Cotton with a sitter after a couple of years so I was not sure if he will adjust to being in a foreign environment with strangers however after the first update and pictures I could see that Margarita is a friendly and caring sitter and he was at ease. I received frequent updates and pictures as details on how he was behaving. I will highly recommend Margarita & Christian when considering to leave your furry friend they will be in a safe environment and will be well taken care of. Communication from beginning to end was great and I will definitely use their service in the future.”
“Erica is truly amazing. This is the second time she has cared for our fur baby, and each time, she goes above and beyond. With her thoughtful updates, videos, and pictures, she treats him like her own. Paxton thrives in her care, joyfully playing with all the other dogs. Knowing he’s with Erica allows me to take a vacation with peace of mind.”

Sarah was great with my dog! She communicated really well, was able to pick up and drop off my dog and I know that he had a great time because he was so happy and wiped out when I got home from work. He even got to play with her dog! Thanks so much Sarah, we highly appreciate it and recommend her to anyone needing doggie care!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Rockaway Park is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $98 per night.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Rockaway Park can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s 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 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 Rockaway Park 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 Rockaway Park.
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 Rockaway Park 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 , 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 .
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.
