Dog Boarding in Port Jefferson

“Chuck has watched our dog, Kona, twice now. Both times he has been amazing and Kona has come back so happy. He communicates via text and pictures daily and has a beautiful house for dogs to play. We will continue using him for as long as he will have us!”

“Michael was fantastic. This was my first time using a dog sitter in the area after just moving here. He scheduled a meet and greet with my dog and his pup scrappy who is a delight. He sent me frequent updates and kept me at ease throughout the stay. I could tell my dog was well cared for when I picked her up. Looking forward using his services.”

“Marybeth was so sweet and you can really tell she wants to do everything in her power to make your dog feel at home/safe/and comfortable. Will use her again when traveling. Thankful for her!”

“Sue and John were absolutely amazing when watching our fur baby! This was the first time we have left our pup and they eased all of our anxieties and worries. They followed what we do with our dog and gave plenty of updates. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter and we are looking forward to our next booking!”

“Our Jack Russell, Darby, loves Melissa and her husband. She gets so excited when we drop her off. It's a vacation for her with play time and attention. Darby is a repeat pet stay on weekends and I have no worries leaving her because she is well cared for. Highly recommend Melissa!”

About: In addition to my own family dog growing up, I've taken care of my own two dogs for five years! Living in Port Jefferson has only increased my appreciation for neighborhood pups - it is an instant mood boost to see other dogs out and about. After an incredible year of receiving care from Rover ourselves, we are opening our home to take the best weekend care of your pup while you are away! I am an extremely organized person, ready for the details to best take care of your furball. -(Danielle, with help from partner Zach) On weekends, my partner and I are home all day to provide the best care and exercise for your pup! We walk our own dogs every 2-3 hours, and can adjust to the schedule that your pup needs for exercise and feeding. Additional availability during the week especially over winter break! With two friendly dogs of our own, we NEVER leave the dogs unattended. One or both of us will be present at all times. Dogs are happily allowed on furniture, but there are plenty of soft dog beds available for snoozing as well.

“There are not enough good words to say about Kathryn!!! My dog Brody was in the absolute best of care. From the moment I dropped him off until the moment I picked him up! She was sure to send a lot of pictures and videos. I can tell she truly has a love for animals. She made sure Brody felt right at home!!! Not only would I be using her again for my dog- I would HIGHLY recommend her services. She clearly has a lot of experience, knowledge, and love for animals!! I am so happy to have found her that I can leave my dog and have not a worry in the world - because he was in the best of hands with her. So thankful to have found the best dog sitter around!!!”

“It was a pleasure to have heather watch over Bruno.I was updated throughout my trip. Bruno seen so happy. Pictures and videos were sent to me and I was calmed and able to enjoy my vacation knowing he is in good hands.”

“Kimberly has cared for my pets multiple times while I was out of town. My pets adore her. Her background in Vet tech and her ability to lovingly care for animals would make her a great fit for working for Rover.”

“Thank you for taking such good care of our boy once again! Maximus absolutely loves staying at John’s house. He has such a great time snuggling with family members and having playdates with John’s pups.”

“Dahiana is a great example of a person who loves to take care of animals ever since she was a little girl she had a passion for them. She is fun and caring about every animal she has taken care of. Dahiana is an awesome choice for your adorable pets sitter. Just count on her!! And they will have a wonderful time!”

About: I've been in love with animals since before I could walk. My family has had dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, frogs, birds, etc. since before I was born. By the time I was 9 I persuaded my parents to let me get my first cat. I've been responsible for big and small dogs, sick cats, feral cats and more. I've taken puppys to puppy school. I'm no stranger to the vet. Theres not much I wouldnt do for these furry critters. I work remotely for my main job and I am not required to sit in front of a computer so I can go walk dogs, make home visits or pet sit at my home! I am only working outside the home 3 - 5 hour shifts a week! My yard is fenced in. I have cameras on the house and friendly neighbors just incase. I do have a spare room the animal can stay in if need be. I also have a cage big enough to fit anyone that needs it. Windows and doors stay locked at all times. There are also water bowls all over the home as well as toys.

“Donna is terrific! She sent pictures, and she knows dogs. Boarding dogs is what she does, and she's great at it. We loved that we were able to have a meet and greet with her and with our dog, and that she is so careful about the dogs' temperaments before she accepts them, so they will all be safe interacting with each other. She has a big house and a big yard. Our dog had a wonderful time playing with the other boarding dogs for a week (she sent a great video!) and came home healthy, happy, and very tired. We will definitely be using her again!”

“This was our first time leaving our girl for an extended length of time and I was beyond nervous, but Toni was absolutely amazing! She kept me updated with texts and photos that I not only felt that my dog was in good hands, but I saw that she was having the time of her life while staying at Toni’s! I will not only be recommending her in the future but I will definitely be boarding with Toni in the future!”

“This was our first time using Rover, and we were nervous about leaving our pup, but Laura made the experience wonderful! She was communicative, sent videos and pics, and our dog was a happy boy upon return. Couldn't have asked for more!”

“Sonny and Snoopy stayed with Gina for a few days, seems like they had alot of fun, and were very tired when they got home!. We will use their services again when we go away next time.”

“Maggie had a great experience with Maria. I knew she was well taken care of and came home well rested and happy. Great and fast communication. Shares photos during the visit for peace of mind. Will use again!”

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my comprehensive approach to pet care, emphasizing not just the physical but also the emotional well-being of the animals under my care. With a background in animal behavior, I specialize in training puppies, using positive reinforcement techniques to establish good habits early on. For senior dogs, I provide gentle care tailored to their unique needs, ensuring they remain comfortable and engaged despite any age-related challenges. Additionally, I am skilled in administering medication and first aid, for I am an EMT. This makes me well-prepared to handle a wide range of health needs. My commitment to regular, open communication with pet owners means you'll always stay updated on your pet's adventures and well-being. Whether it's a high-energy puppy or a senior dog, I strive to create a nurturing environment that feels like a second home to every pet. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, reflecting my genuine passion for animals and their well-being. Each morning starts with a dedicated time for outdoor walks or playtime, ensuring my dog under my care get the exercise and stimulation they need to start their day happily. Throughout the day, I balance my own work and responsibilities with regular check-ins, play sessions, and cuddle times, maintaining a comforting presence for my pet. Weekly, I allocate specific days for longer adventures or visits to dog parks, where my dog can socialize and enjoy a change of scenery, enhancing their physical and mental health. For my dog with specific training routines or medical needs, I schedule consistent times for these activities to ensure they receive consistent care and attention. Caring for pets, whether in my home or a client's, revolves around ensuring safety, comfort, and a lot of love. Here's how I approach both scenarios: In My Home I ensure my home is pet-proofed, with no small objects they can choke on, secure trash cans, and safe, comfortable resting areas.I maintain a consistent schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime, aligning as closely as possible with their usual routine to minimize stress. Each pet receives individual attention, from belly rubs to personalized play sessions, ensuring they feel at home. If compatible, I carefully introduce pets to my resident animals or other pets under my care, supervising interactions to foster positive social experiences. Regular grooming sessions are part of the care, along with prompt clean-up of any accidents to maintain a hygienic environment. In the Client's Home Keeping pets in their familiar environment reduces stress. I follow their usual routine for meals, walks, and bedtime.I ensure the home is secure at each visit, checking locks and monitoring any potential hazards. I engage pets with their favorite toys and activities, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Regular updates, including photos and messages, keep pet owners informed and reassured about their pet's well-being. For pets with specific dietary or medical requirements, I meticulously follow provided instructions to administer medications or prepare meals.
