“OMG JODIE was phenomenal. She was extremely communicative. My pet loves her. After I met her I felt my Daisy Mae would be well cared for. She is truly a pet lover. She gave me updates, pictures and videos. She is my new PERMANENT dog boarder. Thank you Rover.com. This was my first experience boarding my 5 year old Dog. She followed instructions. Jodi is amazing and will definitely be using her again.”
“Rebooked Veronique and her husband because my anxious dog feels so at ease with them. They accepted the booking last min and we were able to enjoy a much needed date weekend in the city without worrying about our dog . Will definitely book again.”
“I had my first experience using Rover, and I’m so glad I did! I found Jillian, and she was absolutely amazing. She kept me updated constantly about my fur baby and was very flexible with pick-up time. I would highly recommend her!”
“Denise is the best sitter she is animal lover, she is communicate with you and sending you pictures of your pet. I recommend her to any one and definitely I'll leave my baby with her any time i need it. Thank you very much Denise.”
“I was traveling to Long Island from out of state last minute, and the people we were visiting did not allow dogs in their house. I admit, I was extremely nervous to leave Mambo with someone I didn’t know. At the end of Mambo’s stay, I was extremely jealous that my dog was not paying attention to me and just wanted to be with Eliana, haha. His reaction speaks to how well he was treated and all the attention he was given. Eliana and her husband were extremely flexible with our schedule (we drove 6 hrs from Virginia and arrived super late), constantly shared pictures of mambo and were ok with us picking him up for a few hrs in the middle of the day and then dropping him off. They have a HUGE and FENCED backyard, in which Mambo loves to run. You can tell Eliana loves dogs and that she cares about them. I’m already referring her to friends in the area, and will definitely reach out to her the next time Mambo and I visit Long Island.”
“Dyana was absolutely amazing!!!! She made me feel so at ease watching my dog! Sent me constant updates and my dog absolutely adored her!!! Will 100% be rebooking her again & can’t recommend her enough!! Thank you guys so much!!!”
“John was an amazing sitter for Benji. He was flexible and communicative. He took great care of my boy and Benji loved the company of John’s dog as well. Would definitely book with him again in the future!”
“This was our first time booking with Brenda, and she did an excellent job of making my pup feel at home and putting my mind at ease. She really treated Gracie as if she was her own, with lots of affection, play, and exercise. She did a great job of communicating with me also, sending updates, pictures, and videos. I would definitely book with Brenda again.”
“Jamie was great! We left our 9 month old puppy with her for 10 days and she took really good care of him. She sent us lots of updates and pictures so we knew he was doing ok. Our puppy also got along great with her dog. Overall very happy with the care she provided. We will definitely book her again.”
“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.”
“Sadie had the very best time with Delmy & family! They sent pictures/videos the entire time and Sadie was so happy in all of them. 10/10 would recommend and I will be using them again”
“Thomasina was amazing at caring for our dog Lila! From the moment Lila first entered her home, she was calm and at ease and we knew she'd have a wonderful stay. We got plenty of adorable pictures and updates! Thanks for taking such great care of our girl!”
“Gerald watched our dog in his home for 10 days, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Our dog can get anxious when he's away from home, but he was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for throughout his stay. Gerald took him on walks in the nearby park and provided excellent care. He was also a fantastic communicator, sending regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Gerald to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“Megan and her family did a fantastic job taking care of my senior dog. She sent pictures daily, was honest about when Bailey didn’t finish a meal, and didn’t mind answering any questions I had. She made Bailey feel comfortable and loved which was so important to me. Thank you Megan!”
“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”
“I can’t say enough about Vanessa and her family! We left our labradoodle with her for the weekend and received tons of videos, pictures and text messages about how Brandy was doing. The care she received from everyone in the family was top notch. I could see every day that she was playing, eating well and getting lots of love and attention! I am truly grateful.”
“Our cat Journey had a delightful time at Joanne’s for a long weekend. We were impressed with the clear communication, lovely home environment, and delightful family that took such great care of him. We highly recommend Joanne and will not hesitate to use her again when were visiting family in the area.”

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.
If you live on Long Island and are looking for a home away from home for your pet - while you are in need of boarding or pet daycare-look no further. I just had my puppy Ruby stay with “Aunt” Jodie for 5 nights while away on vacation. Such a wonderful experience all around! Highly recommend!🙌🐶🐾😊
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
My fur baby was well taken care of. I cant thank Daniel enough for the awesome service that has been provided. It was top notch! Very professional and kept me updated every day about my fur baby. I felt comfortable and will definitely use his services again. Thank you 😊
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Brightwaters on Rover is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $61 per night. 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.

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, 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 Brightwaters.
<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 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 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.
