“Casey had a great time playing with her new friend, Luna, while we were on vacation for a week. Vanessa sent me updates twice a day of Casey playing with the ball, wrestling with her pal and taking walks around the block. We will definitely be coming for a play date again soon!”

“Diana was amazing with my pup, Louis! He had an absolute blast — especially getting to run around outside and play with the other dogs and kids, which is such a treat for him since he doesn’t get that kind of freedom in Manhattan. I could tell he was well cared for and totally in his element. Communication was great, with tons of photos daily, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such a loving, fun environment. I’d strongly recommend Diana to anyone looking for a thoughtful and responsible sitter — we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Erin was absolutely amazing, 10/10 sitter! She sent updates, provided photos and made me feel completely comfortable while we were away! She took care of my pup as if she was her own!”

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.

“Thank you Dan and Denise for taking such good care of our puppy, being so young at only 12 weeks I got turned away by other pet places, you were so nice to take him in under your care and in such short notice too. Thank you for the updates thru out the day and pics, we will absolutely book you in the future, its so relieving to know we now have a doggie sitter. Thank you, FG”

“Hannah was AMAZING! This was my first time bringing my dog to a sitter and she kept her for 5 nights while I went away! She made me feel very safe and comfortable by updating me, sending me countless pictures & videos of them playing and on walks, all while answering so quickly. Next trip I take I will definitely bring my dog back to her & I highly recommend you do the same! :)”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for Duke! From the moment we met Theresa and family, it was clear how caring, responsible, and attentive she is. Duke was so happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away, which gave us complete peace of mind. We especially appreciated the updates, photos, and the extra love and attention Theresa gave him. It’s obvious Theresa truly cares about the dogs she watches and Duke absolutely adored her. We are so grateful and would highly recommend Theresa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and amazing to care for their pets!”

“Sara was very good about replying to our texts prior to meeting her and also while our dogs were staying with her. We received daily updates and photos which was very comforting to us being away on a trip. The dogs certainly enjoyed their stay and the loving attention they got during their stay. They also had lots of exercise and playtime. Our dogs also got along well with Sara's dog, Phil. It's wonderful to have found a responsible and reliable dog sitter in Sara.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Islip
This was our first time leaving our dog with a new dog sitter after ours moved out of state. What a lovely family… all so kind and so can tell how much they love dogs. Any questions or concerns we had they made sure to take care of. We received so many pictures and videos too. I would recommend this family.

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!

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 had an excellent experience with Jennifer. She was extremely loving to our dog and treated him as if he was her own. She sent regular updates and photos. The dog seemed extremely comfortable in her home. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone who wants peace of mind.

My Benji was in great hands! Maria took good care of him and treated him as if he were her own. She provided picture and video updates and she was very responsive. I would certainly book her again and would have no reservations recommending her to anyone who is looking for a sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in East Islip on Rover is $66.6 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 5,164 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in East Islip. About 88% of East 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
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.
