“Jillian is excellent, caring, thoughtful, and understanding!! Our pets truly loved being part of her family, and came home just as they left, and in good spirits!! We're very grateful to have found someone like Jillian for our furbabies!!”
“Veronique and her husband were excellent. They honored our same day request for a meet and greet so that we could feel comfortable booking quickly. During my trip they proactively sent pictures and videos daily and gave daily updates on my dog’s comfort level and activities. They were wonderful to partner with and I’d happily leave my dog in their care again because they made me rest easy on my time away. 10/10 would recommend.”
“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!”
“This is a rebook and took care of our Maverick and Pepper for a week. Lots of pictures and clips daily. She’ll make you feel comfortable with constant communication and updates! Goes above and beyond she can cover to accommodate your and your pets needs! Highly recommended!”
“Once I met Alexis, her son and fur babies I knew I met someone who would take care of my dog as her own. So, thank you Alexis, Trip, Max and Snoopy! Blossom had a ball and met some new friends. I would absolutely use Alexis again because her home is geared toward doing what she loves. It’s very evident that’s taking care of animals.”
“Thank you so much. Debra was very accommodating to watch my two dogs. She sent pictures and communicated with me to make me feel comfortable. Would recommend she was very loving to my pups!”
“This is the 1st time leaving my dog, Norma, with anyone is 7years… i couldn’t be any happier with how things went! Wenxu was so communicative and sent a million pictures throughout the day. Norma came home so happy from spending a ton of time outside, going for walks, and playing. I am already looking at my travel dates to book Wenxu again!!!!”
“Laurie and Eric were very kind and respectful. They were very understanding of Bliss’s high energy due to being a puppy and they treated her well on her first stay. I felt comfortable leaving her with them and they were nice enough to send me a few pics and videos of our dogs playing together. Would definitely use Laurie and Eric again in the future.”
About: I'm Back in Action! 🐾🐕🦺 After some time away, I'm excited to announce that I'm back and ready to care for your furry family members! I'm a Certified Veterinary Assistant, military veteran, and aspiring Canine Obedience Trainer. I'm currently attending Animal Behavior College, where I'm furthering my education in canine obedience training, behavior, and handling. My ultimate goal is to use my training and experience to help train service dogs for my fellow veterans, giving back to those who have served our country. Dogs aren't just a job to me. They're my passion! I have years of experience caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. While some sitters may hesitate when it comes to larger breeds, I especially enjoy working with big dogs! My veterinary background, hands-on experience, and continued education in canine obedience have given me the knowledge and confidence to work with dogs of various sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I also understand that some dogs may be nervous, timid, or uncomfortable around unfamiliar people, particularly men. Building trust takes patience, consistency, and an understanding of canine behavior. One of the most valuable skills I've developed is the ability to recognize and interpret a dog's body language, allowing me to adjust my approach and help even the most hesitant dogs feel safe and comfortable. I've owned and cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and other small pets. Every animal has its own personality, and I believe in providing individualized care rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Safety Is Always My Priority! 🐾 Your pet's safety and well-being will never be an afterthought. I take extra precautions to ensure gates are securely closed, yards are properly secured, and doors are carefully managed when entering or leaving your home. I know how quickly a curious four-legged escape artist can make a run for it! Dogs in my care will always be supervised during outdoor activities. I take my responsibility seriously because I understand that you're trusting me with a beloved member of your family. More Than Just a Pet Sitter ❤️ My background as a Certified Veterinary Assistant, combined with my ongoing education in canine obedience training, allows me to bring more than just a love of animals to the table. I bring experience, patience, an understanding of animal behavior, and a genuine commitment to providing dependable, compassionate care. My promise is simple: I'll treat your pets with the same love, attention, patience, and respect that I give my own. I'm excited to be back, meet some new furry friends, and reconnect with familiar faces. Whether your best friend is a gentle giant, an energetic puppy, or a shy rescue who needs a little extra patience, I look forward to earning their trust and yours! Because your pets deserve more than someone who simply watches them. They deserve someone who truly understands them. 🐾 I work around my full-time job. I don't do this for the money as i find working with animals isn't a job but more of a hobby. I care for dogs in my home by using constant supervision. My training is canine obedience has taught me how to read dogs and their body language which insures they're won't be any problems with other dogs while I'm boarding.
“Jennifer was amazing, incredibly patient and met with us before we boarded our son with her. She provided so many updates and addressed all of our needs and special requests with Ludo, and we would not hesitate to book her again. She truly worked to get to know Ludo to give him the best care possible.”
“So responsive to our texts and communication was great. She treated Ranger like a part of the family and send us lots of photos. Ranger got along with her dog and cat and we plan to have Ranger stay here again in the future”
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.
“Yaina was wonderful! We are so happy to have found her! She sent us videos and pictures of our dog during the stay. Yaina kept us updated and made me feel at ease that our dog was being well taken cared of.”

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 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.
