“Jinay was amazing to work with. From the very first time I reached out, until the end, she did an excellent job of communicating and was very thorough with the details. Right before we left for our 10 day trip, nori got very sick and we were worried about leaving her behind. However jinay, assured us she'd be well taken care of. She easily followed the schedule we set for food and medications (multiple types with different times for dosage) and provided frequent pictures and updates, which allowed us to really enjoy our vacation. We're so thankful to have found jinay and her family to take care of nori in the future.”
“I highly recommend Amber. She was amazing with our lab mix. I'm new to using a dog sitter and Amber made the whole process seamless. She sent pics, videos and regular updates which was extremely appreciated!”
“Kerri was a fantastic sitter for my active lab. She kept me updated and sent tons of pictures daily of him having the time of his life. They cared for him as if he was their own and I couldn’t be more grateful. Macallan cannot wait to stay with Kerri and her family again!”
“Chief had a wonderful time with Jennifer and her family. He was well taken care of and we received lots of communication and pictures/videos. We look forward to Chief's next visit with Jennifer.”
“Melissa and her husband are the most amazing people. This is the first time I’ve left my dog with anyone. I was incredibly nervous and cried when I left him. They dealt with my constant check ins and they sent pictures and also checked in to make me feel at ease. Chopper came home tired and happy because he played all day. When he was picked up he wanted to go back in the yard to play with his new friends. I 100% will book Melissa again. I’m happy to find someone who will care for my dog the way I need”
“I have used John in the past and I needed him again for my Moses a 5 year old cavalier King Charles spaniel. I recently moved and am in between places. I had Moses neutered. John came with me to the vet to drop off and pick up and follow up visit, he is an amazing care taker and animal lover. I trust John completely and would use him again and I highly recommend him!!”
“We had Jennifer watch our older GSD Dolly for the first time this week. Jennifer and her husband took very good care of our girl, were very attentive to her needs. She sent pictures of a happy, smiling dog to us, which we appreciated. Looking forward to using Jennifer for a much longer stay in the near future. They are definitely dog people.”
“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.”
“Korin watched Hunter our King Charles Cavalier over this weekend. We were without a sitter at the last minute. Korin was happy to save our weekend plans by accommodating us. She took great care of Hunter and kept us updated throughout the weekend. I highly recommend Korin for all your pet sitting needs.”
About: I have 15+ years of owning my own pets (dogs, fish, birds, and hamsters) and caring for other people’s pets. I feel comfortable feeding, bathing, walking and providing any other type of care the pet needs. I truly love animals and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a six-year-old son who absolutely loves animals as well, so pets staying in our home should be friendly and comfortable around children. We are a caring, animal-loving home and can’t wait to meet and care for your pets like they’re part of the family! * If you prefer kid-free home, I recommend Friday to Sunday bookings. I am home full-time, so your pets will always have love, attention, and supervision throughout the day and will never be left alone for long periods. I’m able to take dogs out frequently for walks and potty breaks, and our apartment complex also has a fenced area where pets can safely run around and play. My goal is to make your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while you’re away! I care for every pet as if they were part of my own family. In my home, pets will receive constant supervision, plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of love and affection. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while sticking to their normal routines as much as possible.
“Maria was amazing! Our pup was so happy there, and we were happy to get the pictures and videos of our girl playing and snuggling. Maria's home is beautiful, and she has amenities just for her furry guests that make the stay extra special. We ended up having some travel complications, and Maria put us at ease and let us know our Rommie would be well taken care of, making the entire ordeal far less stressful.”
“This was our first time using Rover. I was very reluctant to use a person I did not know, or friends didn't know. However, I am so glad I took the chance with a 5 day/overnight in Sarah's home. It's a relief she only takes one animal at a time since our dog doesn't like other dogs. At the meet and greet, Sarah asked many questions to get a feel for Milo (eating & bathroom habits, walking, sleeping habits etc...) To start, her home is absolutely immaculate. I received a daily update with pictures on how our dog was adjusting & doing overall. Milo was displaying some quirky behaviors which Sarah reported right away & thought was cute/funny. She was very accepting, flexible in many ways, and an absolute delight to talk with. It is apparent she is a dog lover! Upon pick up, Milo was happy and all his belongings were packed & ready to go. We plan on using Sarah again for our next trip, if she's available.”
“My dog is very anxious with strangers and new settings, but Alejandro was very understanding and patient with her. I deeply appreciate him taking care of her and her specific needs.”
“I was very happy with Lucy's stay with Gabby . It was the first time Lucy stayed with other than a family member and Gabby was very sensitive to her needs. She communicated with me periodically and reassured me that Lucy was doing fine.”
“Having just moved to Long Island, my husband and I were in search of a reliable dog sitter for our dog, Kilo. We always had friends watch him in Miami, and were a bit nervous leaving Kilo with a stranger for 3 nights. Initially, we checked out some kennels in the area, and found them quite depressing. That led us to look on Rover, and Daniel's profile came up first. I reached out to Daniel to inquire about booking with him, and within minutes Daniel had responded and we set up a meet and greet for later that night. I stopped by with Kilo to see Daniel's set up/house. I could immediately tell that he was a dog person and was going to treat my dog as his own! I was nervous because Kilo can be a little territorial with other large males, but Daniel reassured me that everything would be fine. I dropped Kilo off later that week for his stay with Daniel and his family. Daniel sent pictures of Kilo playing outside and responded to any questions/concerns I had about Kilo during his stay. I felt totally confident that my dog was in good hands at his house. Daniel and his family will definitely be my dog people on the island! I absolutely recommend their services. I've already booked Kilo's next stay, and I also look forward to dropping Kilo off every once in a while for day care services just so he can run around and play with other dogs in a safe environment!”
“Our Frenchies, AnaLys and Armand enjoyed their initial boarding experience with Cassandra. They were well cared for and loved in a safe home. We received pictures and videos during their stay. They have an upcoming boarding experience with Cassandra.”
About: For the comfort and safety of every pup, I only host one family’s dog at a time. This allows me to give your dog my full attention and maintain a calm, low stress environment. My care goes beyond the basics. it’s rooted in genuine love and experience. My journey caring for Kayne, our special needs dog, taught me how to handle medical routines, provide comfort, and stay attentive to every detail. That experience shaped my approach to every pet I welcome. I understand that each animal deserves patience, respect, and love. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs a little extra care, they’ll always be treated like family in our home. We’re CPR and First Aid certified, giving you extra peace of mind while your pup is in our care. Pet care is woven into my daily life and something I genuinely love. As a stay at home mom, I’m home full time to give every furry friend constant love and attention. Our days revolve around walks, playtime, and snuggles. Caring for our late dog, Kayne, who developed a spinal injury and heart condition, taught me that true care takes patience, compassion, and adaptability qualities I bring to every pet I meet. In our home, every animal is treated like family. I provide a clean, safe, and active space with multiple walks, a fenced yard for play, and individualized routines. Through my experience caring for Kayne, who required special medical attention, I learned how to adapt to any level of care whether it’s energetic puppies or older companions needing extra comfort. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands that treat them as one of our own.

Sara was an amazing sitter! From day one, she provided excellent communication and was very responsive to my questions. During the trip, she sent several updates and pictures, so I knew that my pup was well cared for. In some of those pictures, my pup did things that she'd do at our house, so i knew that Sara treated her as a family member.
Thank you Jennifer for taking such good care of Dolly. She obviously felt safe and content in your home with loving attention by both you and your husband Jim. This was the longest time she has ever been away from us and we felt assured she was in good hands. Looking forward to having you take care of Dolly in the future.
Catherine, made Fin & Daisy feel like part of her family. Catherine made an impression on them at our first meet & greet because Fin bounded out of the car to get to Catherine, Daisy’s legs are a bit shorter, but wagged like crazy to be picked up🐶🐶. Their happiness was met with equal joy, Catherine greeted them with open arms. What a peace of mind to leave them in such capable hands! This was Fin & Daisy’s first time being boarded & I can say with 💯 % certainty that we will use Catherine’s services again! Thank you so much for the pictures & updates of Fin & Daisy throughout the day - they looked like they were having a blast with your pups!!

I am so grateful I found Alev! She took amazing care of my Havanese Chloe while I was away for a weekend wedding. Alev sent me photos, videos and many updates on her walks and her feeding schedule that confirmed my little girl was getting lots of love and attention. Alev completely put my mind at ease which allowed me to enjoy my time away. I could not recommend her services enough and look forward to booking time with her again!
Angela took amazing care of my dog for the two weeks that we were on vacation. I can tell our little guy was so happy and he was treated very well. After we met Angela, Bruce and their Jackson, I knew our dog was going to get spoiled and he will be surrounded by love. We are always careful when we leave our dog somewhere and are careful that the yard is fully enclosed because our dog is an escape artist. I felt totally safe and comfortable leaving our little guy. Angela sent so many pictures of our dog and how we happy he was when we he was laying in the sun, running around the yard or sharing a chair with Jackson. We will be using Angela to watch our do when we need to have him boarded again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Holtsville 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 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 1,438 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Holtsville. 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.
97% of Holtsville 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 Holtsville 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 Holtsville 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 Holtsville.
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 Holtsville 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.
