“Truly exceptional care. Denise was very friendly. I picked up the dogs they were energetic and happy. Some minor changes to our vacation schedule were accommodated without issue. Highly recommended !!!!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Brenda watching Beaux! She was incredibly communicative and sent daily updates and videos/photos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell how knowledgeable and experienced she is with dogs, and most importantly, how much genuine love and attention she gives them. Beaux was so happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. She even kindly kept him an additional night for us because our travel plan changed and we appreciated that so much. We would absolutely trust her with Beaux again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and flexible sitter!”
“Dan and Denise are absolutely amazing. I'm on the east coast for 6 weeks and during that time have several business trips lined up. Dan picked me up at the airport and brought me to his place for a meet and greet and then dropped me off at my destination. The dogs got along very well, their house is impeccable and the yard is enormous! Dan and Denise said they'd be able to take the pup for all of my trips which makes everything easier on the fur baby and makes me more relaxed. She *loved* her weekend with them and is already set up for some more time later this week! It's wonderful to know that my pup has wonderful people looking out for her while I'm gone. Dan thinks about absolutely every detail and makes my life easier. He even knows my favorite drink and makes sure to have one for me when he picks me and the pup up for our trips. Not sure how I'd manage all my work travel without him.”
“Sandy was wonderful. This was my very first time using Rover and a sitter outside of my family or friends and couldn’t have gone better. Looking forward to using Sandy again! Thank you! :)”
“Diana and her family were wonderful. She hosted our dog for four days and we got pictures and updates from her every single day. Our dog Jazz definitely loved staying with Diana!”
“This was our first time boarding Sammie outside of Petsmart. We are so happy that we chose Eliana. She took such good care of Sammie and kept me updated with a lot of pics. He looked happy and very comfortable with her family. I love that he wasn't confined to a tiny room like at Petsmart and was able to have lots of outdoor play at no extra charge. We will definitely be using Eliana the next time we need to board Sammie!”
“Trinity is so friendly and you can tell how much she loves and cares for dogs. I felt so comfortable leaving my puppy Birdie with her knowing she would be very well taken care of. Trinity provided plenty of updates and pictures of Birdie during her stay. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!!!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is my lifelong commitment to providing dogs with patient, loving, and reliable care. As a teenager I work for a dog breeder, walking and taking care of his dogs. I spent 14½ wonderful years raising, training, and caring for my Australian Shepherd. Through the Staten Island Training Club, I learned positive training techniques that helped me build a strong bond with him and taught me how to understand canine behavior. I know that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and routine. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, mental stimulation, or simply companionship, I tailor my care to their individual needs. My experience also allows me to recognize changes in a dog's behavior and respond calmly and appropriately. In addition to caring for my own dog, I volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I've worked with dogs of different breeds, ages, and temperaments. This has strengthened my ability to make dogs feel comfortable, earn their trust, and provide safe, compassionate care. When your dog is with me, they'll be treated like family—with patience, respect, and plenty of attention. Pet care is a regular part of my weekly routine. I'm available for afternoon and evening dog walks. I also offer boarding for short stays of two to three nights, making it a great option if you're away for a long weekend. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether it's an energetic walk, playtime, or simply keeping your dog company, I'll care for your pet as if they were my own. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow your pet's routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, happy, and stress-free while giving you peace of mind.
“Nice enough fellow Had to bang on door for him to let us in at drop off. Place was a little overrun with dirty food dishes & disarray on the floor. Michael never reached out to us with an update on our pet. All our things were thrown out on the front porch at pick up. Dog came home full of “piss & vinegar” Think perhaps she didn’t have much opportunity to run & use up some energy”
“Lisamarie was amazing w/ our pup Ryder! I was so nervous to leave him for the 1st time but felt confident doing so as soon as I met her. I will definitely be using Lisa’s services again bc Ryder had a blast! Thank you Lisa…for taking such good care of him & for all the great pics 🧡”
“Erin boarded our dog and followed all of the same routines.We did every day.My dog acted and seemed to feel like it was a second home at aaron's house.We were so grateful and happy with her service and would only feel comfortable boarding at this house again”
“Hannah was AMAZING! This was my first time bringing my dog to a sitter and she kept her for 5 nights while I went away! She made me feel very safe and comfortable by updating me, sending me countless pictures & videos of them playing and on walks, all while answering so quickly. Next trip I take I will definitely bring my dog back to her & I highly recommend you do the same! :)”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a special love for them. As a mailman, I’m around different pets every day and have grown comfortable around all kinds of animals. I’m patient, caring, and reliable, and I’ll treat your pets like my own. I love making animals feel safe, happy, and loved, and I look forward to giving your pets the attention and care they deserve! I work around my full time job to provide love and care for all of my clients. When I’m not working I’m very active so I love taking clients for park adventures or long walks I live in a house with a fenced front and back yard. I make sure to know the small details that will make your pet feel right at home when in my care.
“Cortney provided excellent care to my husky during her overnight stay at his house. Ruth was super sweet, friendly and very playful. They spent a lot of time running around and playing in the backyard which was huge and very secure. Skye received lots of love and attention from their whole family. She came back home happy and exhausted. Cortney was easy to work with, communicated well, sent lots of pictures and updates. I highly recommended him, and I feel confident and safe in leaving Skye with him for her upcoming week-long stay!”
“Trisha was great, she kept us in the loop with pictures and texts the whole evening. It was the first time we left our dog Jax who’s 1-1/2 old boxer with tons of energy. Thank you Trisha and we will definitely leave Jax with again and again.”

Your search is over - Jillian is wonderful!! Not t only s she affectionate and loving with all of the dogs she is also a wonderful trainer ! My dear g had the time of his life the 4 days he spent there , playing and cuddling with everyone !!I am SO happy that I met her and I’m sure you will be too!!
Estefany was great with our pup.! We have used her for a weekend trip as well as a 2 week trip and received daily pictures and updates. We weren't sure our dog would want to come back home with all the fun she was having. She was definitely well taken care of and loved. We will absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to others.
Jodie just watched my Franny for 9 days!!!! she was so patient, caring, understanding and tolerant of my “special” English bulldog. I highly recommend her to anyone. It takes a special person to do what she does and to care for your fur baby. Her communication was excellent and I couldn’t be happier for the care she provided. Thank you Jodie.
We had a wonderful experience boarding Chloe with John and his wife. They are lovely people, their home is immaculate, and it is obvious they love dogs and enjoy caring for them. Their own dog is very well behaved and got along well with ours. We highly recommend John and would certainly board Chloe with him again in the future.
I am so happy to have found Eliana! Leaving my fur baby for a few days made me very anxious. But Bruno was in great hands! She took care of him like he was her own. I received many pictures that made me relax seeing him so comfortable! I will always contact her whenever I need her services again!
Pam and her staff were absolutely wonderful! I could tell immediately that she was a true animal lover who knew how to ensure that our dog was both comfortable and safe. The twice daily updates and photos made us feel like we never left and we knew he was having a good time and we could relax. We will definitely be using her services again!
Natalia went above and beyond, and I could not ask for a more caring and generous home to place my dog in while I was away. She sent near-daily updates with photos and videos and embraced every one of my loud but sweet corgi's quirks with care. Natalia, her dog and her household took care of my dog Athena and loved her truly as if she were their own. I think Athena might have even had a better vacation than me with all the snuggles, toys and fun she had! I cannot recommend or thank Natalia enough for the experiences and care she gave my dog.
Jamie is absolutely amazing!! She was an excellent care taker for our dog.. making sure to keep his meds on schedule... getting him to eat on a schedule when he normally doesnt (he's a grazer!) and allowing him priority position with her on the couch during the few moments of rest they both had. I got a regular stream of photos and check ins about my dog and never had a doubt he was in great hands. The only doubt I had was whether my dog was going to want to come home. She is so great with dogs and I know for sure we will be using her again in the future. Thank you for everything Jamie!!
Matt was extremely professional and accommodating. My flight was canceled on the return flight and was not able to pick my dog up. Matt was able to care for him while I made arrangements. Highly recommend using Matt for anyone in need of a dog sitter and will be using Matt's service in the future
Jillian was absolutely wonderful with our 7-month-old puppy! This was his first time being watched by someone outside our family, and she made the experience so easy and reassuring. She kept him active, happy, and well cared for, and communicated with us daily with pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. It was clear our pup was in great hands. We will definitely be asking Jillian to watch him again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dogsitter!
We left our pup with Debra for his first boarding experience, and I could not be more relieved. I was super anxious, especially since he was dealing with an ear infection, and we were in town for a wedding with no other option. Debra immediately put my mind at ease. She and her family were so kind and kept me in the loop with updates and photos. It was clear she understood his special needs and made sure he was comfy and safe the whole time. I loved getting the regular updates—felt like he was in great hands. By the time we got home, he seemed happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, warm, and communicative person to care for your dog, Debra is awesome. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Brightwaters is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $61 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 10,949 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Brightwaters. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Brightwaters 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 Brightwaters 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 Brightwaters.
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 Brightwaters 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.
