“John was great with Tessa - he was very easy going about scheduling a meet and greet ahead of our scheduled time away and then accomodating all that our needy GSD puppy required while she was staying with him. He sent daily photos/videos and updates which helped reassure us that she was being well cared for and having a great time. I would highly recommend him.”
“Donna was so great with Gretl. She constantly updated me with pictures and videos and it made me feel at peace knowing my puppy was in good hands. I will certainly use her again.”
“We are thrilled with our experience with John! This was our first time using this site, and he was amazing with our Benny. He kept us updated with pictures and videos, which made us feel at ease. Having his dog Dallas around was a definitely bonus. Thank you, John! We would love to work with you again and highly recommend you!”
“We left our yellow lab with Joanne. She sent us pictures through out the day. He came home happy and tired from playing all day. I would definitely leave our dog with Joanne again!!!”
“Rachel and Henrik (and their two wonderful kids!) watched our two Goldendoodles for the weekend, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. From the start, it was clear this was a perfect fit—we did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and instantly felt comfortable. Their home is beautiful, clean, and has a great backyard where our dogs had plenty of space to run and play. More importantly, our dogs were treated like part of the family—they got tons of attention, snuggles, and care all weekend. We also really appreciated the frequent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. When we dropped them off, our dogs were so excited they ran right in without hesitation—that says everything. You can truly tell how much Rachel and Henrik love dogs and care for them as their own. One of the nicest families we’ve met, and we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were so well cared for. We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dog care.”
“We went to meet Jodie, and her dog, Charlie, a few days before our trip. Bowie instantly felt at home and was entirely happy playing with Charlie. While we were away, Jodie sent daily pictures of our happy puppy and kept us informed of his antics! He had so much fun and can't wait to go back when we go on vacation again! Thank you Jodie!”
“Kyla is thus far the best per sitter I've ever had & I've had many because I travel a lot. My fur baby has special needs & Kyla took impeccable care of her! I returned after two weeks away, to find a happy & content pup! Thanks Kyla! You rock!!”
“Abby is the best dog sitter! She kept me updated on everything my dog was doing, gave him a bath, and made sure he was well-fed. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care.”
“Estamos muy satisfechos con Jamie, nos mantuvo informando sobre spike, enviando fotos etc. tuvimos una tarde mas tranquila con mi esposa contratandola sabiendo que mi perro estaba en buenas manos definitivamente super recomendada”
“Emma was fantastic. This was my first experience leaving my 4 month old golden. My golden is young and full of energy, the sitter needs to be special and Emma certainly was. I highly recommend Emma and will ask her again in the future.”
“I love the way that Catherine sent me photos of Honey during the day having fun with her new friends. Honey came home exhausted, so she must’ve had a blast. Thank you so much Catherine for taking such good care of our lil pup.”
“Jinay was literally the best sitter ever!! I’m always weary about leaving my pittie with separation anxiety with someone new but she just went above and beyond! She knew exactly how to deal with it and went above and beyond with her care. She even did a training day for her and another dog!! She sent me amazing adorable pics and vid’s all throughout her stay and I could see my dog was just having the best time! So glad I chose her :)”
About: In this past year I’ve been caring for a friends 3 legged dog. She needs extra loving, patience and care that I’m fully able to provide to her and others. My weekends are always open. I’m able to accept last minute requests as well. I’ll work around your schedule. Please reach out to me with any questions! I don’t have any pets, so I’m able to give yours my full attention. I do have a teenager that might come along for a walk, just a heads up.
“Highly recommended such a loving family. Sent great pictures and kept in touch several times a day. They took great care of my mischievous pet for two nights. Will always think of them for the future!”
“I was happy with Thomasina watch my dog Scout. She was amazing and kept me updated and sent many pictures. I will definitely be using her again. It was nice to have someone I trusted to watch my dog.”
“Great experience with Kristen! My pup really liked her and her home. My dog is often anxious but she was very relaxed and happy when I came to pick her up after the stay! I really liked Kristen too—very nice person. Highly recommend!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Central Islip
I couldn’t be happier with the incredible care my dog received! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in the hands of someone who truly loves animals. She’s adamant about maintaining your pets’ normal schedule. To say she is accommodating would be an understatement. The daily updates, photos, and genuine attention made all the difference. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly adored. This was above and beyond anything I expected. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like family, look no further.
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! 🤗

There are 5,130 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Central Islip. About 88% of Central Islip sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
