“From start to finish, Veronique made the whole experience stress-free and full of peace of mind. They were so kind with my dog and kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos, which I loved. I could see how happy and comfortable my pup was the entire time, and I never had a single worry. It’s clear Veronique and her family truly cares and puts their heart into what they do. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and maybe even a little sad to leave! I’m so grateful for their care and can’t recommend them enough to other pet owners.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Great sitter! Catherine updated me with pictures and how he was doin daily. I felt very comfortable leaving my do with her. My Boston Terrier came home very happy after the stay. I definitely recommend her service. Thanks Catherine. See you next time!”
“My dog's recent stay with Cynthia A. was a very positive experience. We had great communication and the facility is set up nicely for dogs. As a bonus, Cynthia has extensive experience with dogs and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her.”
“Kelly could not have been more communicative and kind. She took such good care of our pup, and he came home exhausted (which is what we hoped for since he’s so high energy). She kept us up to date on all necessary things during our pups stay, and send videos and pictures too. We will definitely consider booking again in the future!”
“Dan and Denise are experienced, truly gifted, awesome dog sitters! This was our first time leaving our 18 month old extremely active German Shorthaired Pointer with a sitter. We could not be happier with the care she was given, or more pleased with the professionalism of the entire experience. We received constant updates, photos, and videos of our Hannah at various times of the day which alleviated the many concerns we had about leaving such an energetic pup for the first time. We will definitely return, and recommend to our family and friends. Thank you so much, Dan and Denise Pat, Trina, & Miss Hannah Lundy”
“Vanessa was absolutely AMAZING! She provided daily updates, photos and bonus videos! Lola was taken care of and loved just as much as she is at home. We are using Vanessa for our other family trip at the end of this month and I can feel at ease knowing that she will be a responsive and reliable sitter!”
“I am thrilled that I found such a caring and patient dog lover to care for my 2 babies/ dogs! Jodie was professional , sent me pics & videos everyday and has a true passion for animals ?”
“Jamie was amazing! She took care of my 6 month old puppy for six days. She checked in every day and sent me pictures/videos so I knew my boy was safe and well taken care of. I would highly recommend Jamie. It's a beautiful thing to be able to enjoy my time away knowing my dog is in good hands.”
“Joanne and her family where absolutely perfect to care for Carmelo. He seemed to adjust so well into there family and made it comfortable for me to take a peaceful vacation without the worry of how Carmelo was doing. I would recommend using Joanne as I will again.”
“Great experience with Jen from beginning to end! Our pup Blu stayed with her for 6 days and we felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We received updates while away with pics showing our pup comfy cozy in her care. We'll definitely be booking with Jen next time we travel.”
“Alev is so kind! Susie, warmed up to her immediately and we felt very comfortable knowing Alev would, and did, care for her with love. We loved the photos and videos. Susie had on a pretty pink bow at pick up, which was so sweet. We’ve already booked for future trips!”
“We are so happy to have found Pam to board our 1 year old dog for 2 nights. She kept us fully informed multiple times each day and was responsive to any questions we had. Our dog hasn’t socialized too much with other dogs before this but she eased him into meeting the other dogs and let us know he got more comfortable each day.”
“Cortney provided excellent care to my husky during her overnight stay at his house. Ruth was super sweet, friendly and very playful. They spent a lot of time running around and playing in the backyard which was huge and very secure. Skye received lots of love and attention from their whole family. She came back home happy and exhausted. Cortney was easy to work with, communicated well, sent lots of pictures and updates. I highly recommended him, and I feel confident and safe in leaving Skye with him for her upcoming week-long stay!”
“Cody took such good care of our baby. He updated us daily with photos. My baby loved staying with him and in fact got more spoiled then he does at home. When ever we have to leave him for now on Cody will always be our choice.”
“Michelle was able to accommodate last minute booking due to family situation. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos to give peace of mind that Chance was in good hands. Thank you for watching my pup!”

As of November 2026, there are 1,514 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Fire Island. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 Fire Island 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 Fire Island 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 Fire Island.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fire Island. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Fire Island 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
