“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.

We highly recommend Krystal!”

“Thai and his family took care of my dog for 2 weeks. They responded promptly to my inquiry about their availability and answered questions that I had about modifying my booking. All throughout my dog's stay, they sent me pictures of him and even took him on a few park adventures! He was kept cool during NYC's heat wave and I was glad to see get regular updates about what my dog was up to. I came home earlier than expected and was able to arrange an earlier pick-up. Thank you so much for taking good care of my dog and will reach out in the future if I need additional dog sitting.”
“Tiffany and Joel were amazing through all of Lily’s stay! They provided consistent updates with pictures and videos and always responded immediately if I reached out. They were also boarding another dog at the time that Lily adored! I loved that she could be social there! They were very accommodating to switch from drop-off to a late pick-up when I had an unexpected flight delay. I felt comfortable and at ease with Lily at Tiffany and Joel’s! I will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Pamela and her lovely family were perfect hosts for our pup! He got plenty of walks and cuddles, and she sent regular updates. Chester had a great time, and didn't even realize we were gone, ha!”

Kecia is very communicative, provided updates and pictures and seemed to really understand our dog's quirks and needs. We know she is good hands with Kecia. Highly recommend Kecia!”
“Steven was a great dog sitter for my two dogs! I have a pitbull and chihuahua and I could tell they had so much fun with him. He was really helpful taking care of them last minute and was very understanding when I had to change the pick up time to later.”

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.

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.
95% 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, 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 Rockaway Park.
<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 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 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.
