“I had to schedule this last minute and they were so accommodating. Nikki had a great time. I received pictures and videos. Thank you so much for caring for Nikki. I will definitely use them again.”
“Kerri was great! She was able to accommodate a last minute booking for my dog Remy which I was very thankful for. My girl is extremely nervous and Kerri was great with giving her space to get comfortable. Remy loved playing with her dogs as well! She sent lots of pictures and kept me informed on how my pup was doing throughout the entire stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“Sandy is absolutely wonderful! I was so impressed with her knowledge of dogs and how perceptive she was with our Daisy girl. So much so, we have already booked her for another trip to watch our pup. I would highly recommend her. It is very clear she is an animal lover and Daisy was immediately comfortable with her. I was grateful that she set up a meet and greet before booking to make sure we would all be a good fit. So thankful to have found Sandy and she will absolutely be our go-to dog sitter from now on!”
“Delmy was wonderful! I had complete peace of mind while away. When I met her and her family I knew they would treat my Coco baby with care! She sent pictures daily of Coco enjoying the perfect enclosed backyard. I would definitely book Delmy again.”
“This is my first time leaving my dog with someone 6 hours away from home and I was nervous. It was last minute when I realized we had to bring the dog with us (last minute as in 8 hours before we had to leave). She responded to my request at 3am in the morning, thats great! I messaged many and didnt get many responses. There was no Hassel, she was very flexible and when we left then came back to the house to drop her off, my dog ran up to her as if she knew her forever. She did an amazing job and I'm so thankful she came by!! She is definitely recommended!”
“Gabby is a great option for pet boarding. She is a very sweet and loving caregiver. My pup had a great time running around her back yard. He was well taken care of and I can tell he loved staying at Gabby’s “camp” for a week. She regularly sent updates and photos every day. I highly recommend Gabby.”
“I have to tell you I never left my baby before and was nervous and Jen and her family made me and nacho feel so comfortable. They treated him part of the family right away and he had the time of his life while was away I was so at ease and trusted her with all my heart . I got tons of videos and pics all day and he was in his glory and that’s all that matters amazing job Jenna Dan thank u again . I will never be using someone else she got our business forever thank u again xoxoxxo fantastic job if there is 10 stars that’s what she truly deserves”
“Freedom was a huge help when we had to book at the last minute due to a family emergency. They were very nice to Cleo and accommodated her food needs and energy level. They also made a very cute portrait of Cleo and gifted her a bandana, which she is still wearing and loving. I highly recommend Freedom to others looking for a sitter.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Theresa. She took such amazing care of our babies, kept us updated with great photos and funny details they did, she made sure our babies were happy and comfortable, really gave us so much peace of mind knowing they are safe and in good hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for care and attentive sitter.”
“Amazing family home, Diana and Mike are perfect sitters and the peace of mind they provided with the constant pics and updates truly made my trip that much better. Highly recommend!”
“Alejandro & his fiancée were wonderful with my Cody. They gave him plenty of attention & love. I could tell he was very happy staying with them & enjoyed playing with their dog. Sent plenty of pictures & videos. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Brenda was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease. She constantly kept me updated with messages, pictures, and videos, which meant so much and really helped me relax while I was away. It was so clear that my dog was being well cared for. Brenda was always taking her on walks and spending time playing with her. When I picked her up, of course my baby missed me, but I could truly tell she had formed such a loving bond with Brenda. It was obvious that my dog adored her, and that Brenda genuinely loved her right back. Finding someone you trust with your dog isn’t easy, but Brenda exceeded every expectation. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and loving sitter!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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.”

Maria did an excellent job over this past weekend of taking care of my five month old puppy. I needed a last-minute dog sitter and she responded to me fast and efficiently. she consistently kept me updated and made sure that my puppy was happy and safe and consistently made sure she played not only with other dogs but also with her family. I am very grateful for everything that she’s done for my puppy 10 out of 10 would recommend.
Freedom was a huge help when we had to book at the last minute due to a family emergency. They were very nice to Cleo and accommodated her food needs and energy level. They also made a very cute portrait of Cleo and gifted her a bandana, which she is still wearing and loving. I highly recommend Freedom to others looking for a sitter.
Our doggos took an instant liking to Kyla, whom from this first instance of contact was so incredibly polished and professional and really helped put us at ease. She sent is pictures for updates and answered all of our questions. We will definitely be repeats, our dogs had a superb time and hardly missed us at all
Christian was absolutely wonderful — super sweet, reliable, and trustworthy with my dog, Kasper. I was initially very apprehensive about being away for a whole week, but Christian quickly put my mind at ease. He communicated clearly and consistently, sending regular updates with photos and videos so I always knew how Kasper was doing. I truly appreciated the care, attention, and professionalism he provided. I would highly recommend Christian to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate sitter for their fur babies! 🤗
I left my dog Bruno with Dannica and Chris for a week, and they took excellent care of him. They sent regular updates and several photos every day, which made me feel comfortable knowing he was doing so well. I would definitely leave Bruno with them again and recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog sitters. Thank you Dannica and Chris!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Central Islip on Rover is $59.94 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,968 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Central Islip. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Central Islip sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Central Islip landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Central Islip 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 Central Islip.
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 Central Islip 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.
