About: I have a deep passion for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for pets of various breeds and sizes. Growing up around pets has given me a strong understanding of canine behavior, body language, and specific care needs. Whether it is managing high-energy pups, maintaining strict feeding routines, or just providing endless belly rubs, I treat every furry guest like a member of my own family. I am highly attentive and dedicated to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you are away. I work from home full-time, which gives me incredible flexibility and allows me to provide around-the-clock supervision and companionship for your pet. Your dog will never feel lonely, as I am around throughout the day to offer frequent potty breaks, backyard playtime, and regular walks. My flexible remote work schedule ensures that I can easily adapt to your pet's established routine, meaning their feeding, medicine, and nap times will remain perfectly on track. Safety is my absolute top priority. My home provides a secure, pet-friendly environment where your dog can relax comfortably. I am extremely proactive about monitoring behavior and ensuring all areas are completely pet-proofed. When welcoming guest pets, I am very careful about proper introductions to ensure everyone coexists happily and safely. I strictly follow all owner instructions regarding specific house rules, crate training preferences, and safety boundaries, ensuring you have total peace of mind and receive plenty of photo updates.

I truly appreciated receiving updates throughout the day, including photo and videos, which gave me much peace of mind seeing my pups were happy! I highly recommend it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: Welcome to THE SPOILED DOG INN 🐶 Your dog is never left alone. True 24/7 care in an exclusive home for small dogs only. - After a short break from Rover, we’re excited to be back doing what we truly love — caring for small dogs in a happy, loving home. - We are professional small-dog groomers, experienced pet care providers, Pet First Aid / CPR certified, and small dog owners ourselves. We also have prior veterinary assistant experience and formerly owned the grooming studio inside Petite Pets Puppy Boutique in Huntington, NY - Our home is a dog-loving home whose only “children” have four small paws, and our days are built around the dogs in our care. - As small dog owners ourselves, we understand how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. Our goal is to give you true peace of mind, knowing your dog is safe, supervised, and cared for by people you can trust. - Because we specialize in small dogs every day, we understand their routines, personalities, sensitivities, body language, and the little details that help them feel secure and at home. - We offer exclusive boutique boarding and doggie daycare with a carefully limited guest list, so every dog receives attentive, personalized, hands-on care. - We are comfortable caring for a variety of small-dog needs, including: • nervous or shy dogs • playful or social dogs • senior dogs • special-needs dogs • dogs who need oral medication • dogs who require injections, including insulin or subcutaneous fluids We offer overnight stays, extended vacation stays, and boutique care for small dogs only, 7 days a week. - This is our full-time work and our everyday lifestyle, allowing us to provide true 24/7 care. Your dog is never left alone or unattended. - We keep our availability limited so each guest receives one-on-one attention in a loving home environment. We hope you’ll take a moment to look through our photo gallery so you can see our home, experience, and the environment your dog will be staying in. Safety, cleanliness, and trust are very important to us. - We maintain a clean, sanitary, non-smoking home with a safe, secure fenced yard. Guest dogs are carefully supervised, and our guest list is kept small — typically 1–3 dogs at a time — so each dog receives attentive care in a safe, loving setting. - Our home is cage-free, and dogs are not crated or kenneled as part of our normal care. At night, dogs sleep in our bedroom with us — never crated away, left alone overnight, or placed in a separate room unattended. If your dog is crate-trained and feels most comfortable resting in their own crate, we can discuss that during the meet-and-greet and follow your preferences. - At bedtime, dogs may sleep on our large family-sized bed or settle into one of the comfortable dog beds arranged around us. We provide different bed sizes and styles, along with doggie stairs for dogs who need help getting on and off the bed. - Because our guests sleep in our bedroom and many are welcome on the bed, we kindly ask that dogs arrive freshly bathed or clean before their stay. This helps us maintain the comfortable, clean, home-style environment that makes every guest feel safe and cared for. - You’ll receive regular photo and video updates daily so you can stay connected and feel at ease while you’re away.
“Theresa has been absolutely amazing, she takes care of Franny as if she were her own. She provides such a great environment and I’m fortunate to have her take care of my fur baby.”
“Theresa was a great dog sitter very attentive and caring. She sent updates, which I really appreciated, and my pup was clearly happy and well taken care of.She didn’t even want to leave when I picked her up! I would definitely use her again.”
“Jillian took a last minute request for us and was extremely nice. She was kind, provided updates when requested, and also was extremely flexible with our time. But a note, the bio does say non-smoking household and our dog did come home smelling like cigarette smoke, but other than that the experience was great.”
“I am so excited that Coconut enjoyed his stay with Isabella. We are now booking 10 days with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter who shares lots of feedback, pictures and truly cares about your pet.”
“Pamela is amazing. She has a way with animals that I've never seen before. My dog is extremely leery of strangers, within 10 minutes of meeting Pamela he was relaxed and happy - you'd think he'd known her for years. She is trustworthy and goes above and beyond to put any fears or doubts you may have to rest. Highly Recommended.”
“Dawn was very nice.. very professional.. I would definitely recommend her for your dog.you can tell she loves all animals.. first time I used her.. And will again use her for Stevie.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs. I currently own four dogs: two adult Belgian Malinois, a German Shepherd puppy, and a senior Shih Tzu mix. I have crate trained and potty trained multiple puppies and am familiar with the time, patience, and consistency required for successful training. Through caring for both high-energy working breeds and senior dogs, I have experience managing different exercise needs, routines, temperaments, and levels of care. I am committed to providing a safe, structured, and positive environment for every dog in my care. I am home most of the time and provide full-time care for the dogs in my home. Because I am available throughout the day, dogs receive regular supervision. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely go outside for potty breaks and exercise. I am comfortable reinforcing crate training when needed and believe crates are a valuable tool for safety and routine. My own dogs are crate trained and are crated when they cannot be directly supervised to ensure their safety and prevent unwanted behaviors. I provide a structured, safe, and supervised environment while making sure each dog receives plenty of attention, care, and opportunities to play and relax.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 16. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love on their pets like they’re my own. Whether it’s playful puppies, energetic adults, or gentle seniors, I’m patient, attentive, and truly enjoy keeping pets happy and safe. I’d love to give your furry friend the same care and affection! I run my own social media marketing agency from home, so your pups will never be left alone for long stretches. I’m around throughout the day to give them playtime, potty breaks, and all the love they need. I’m available for boarding everyday but Tuesday’s and walks or drop-ins on weekdays after 2pm. I have a secure fenced yard and one friendly puppy who love making new pals and is crate trained. Your fur baby will get plenty of exercise, safe outdoor time, and supervised play. I can also crate them if needed. I treat every pet like my own, keeping them happy, comfy, and safe.
“Brenda was so amazing with our Rocky! As a new dog mom I was so nervous about leaving him with someone but Brenda put me soo much at ease! So many pictures and videos updates really made me so comfortable. I will highly recommend Brenda! Your pup will be completely taken care of.”
“My dog spent the whole day with Eliana yesterday and we couldn’t have been happier with the car he received. She sent pictures, kept me updated on how he’s doing, and gave him so much love. Will definitely use her again in the future!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dix Hills
Alicia truly saved the day! She was able to take our Lab puppy on very short notice over the July 4th holiday, and we immediately felt comfortable leaving him with her and her sweet dog, Ocean. She kept us updated with videos and photos of them playing together, and it was clear he was having a wonderful time. We could tell he was well cared for, which gave us great peace of mind. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Alicia again and highly recommend her!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Dix Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Dix Hills on Rover is $55.5 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 9,236 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Dix Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Dix Hills commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 9,236 sitters in Dix Hills, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
