Kerri took the greatest care of our Alfie while we were away. She provided daily pictures of him and went above and beyond caring for him when our return flight was canceled and we had to stay away longer than expected. Alfie had not only her family to interact with but her dogs as well. We would definitely use her services again.

Jennifer was absolutely incredible while caring for our dog, Loki, during a week when my husband Joey and I were away on a cruise. Leaving your pet behind is never easy, but Jennifer made the entire experience feel effortless and reassuring. From day one, she went above and beyond to keep us connected. She sent frequent updates, along with tons of photos and videos, so we could see exactly how Loki was doing. It wasn’t just check-ins—it genuinely felt like we were still part of his daily life. Seeing him happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for gave us so much peace of mind. Jennifer handled him with such patience, attentiveness, and warmth that he seemed completely at home. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she looks after, treating them like her own rather than just a job. I couldn’t recommend Jennifer more highly. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with dogs, she’s the one. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again.

It's so hard being away from pets. Leaving our dog with Gabby allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying if she was OK. She sent pictures and messages to let us know our dog was having the time of her life. Gabby is clearly a dog lover and she took excellent care of our baby.

Alejandro, Right off the bat when we first met him we got an excellent first impression. He is very warm ,friendly and knowledgeable and was great with our pet! When we came home after 3 week of vacation and our dog was relaxed and happy. He is by far our first choice when we need a dog sitter in the future. He communicated with us on a regular basis, eliminating the stress of leaving the dog behind. Alejandro is trustworthy, and our dog love him. We would be happy to provide personal references upon request. Oliver and Lisbeth

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.

Our dog Maggie had such a great time with Ann and her family. Between catching wiffle balls or playing in a kiddie pool, Maggie was well looked after and enjoyed lots of play time. Ann is a very loving and caring person and we knew immediately Maggie was in great hands. The backyard is safe and fenced in with plenty of space to run around. Ann gave daily updates with photos and videos! Highly recommend!!

About: I was raised with dogs from the time I was born, and our home was always full of animals — be it bunnies, turtles, hamsters or parrots! I’m now a proud pet mom to two cats, Tortellini and Simone, and one pup, Frankie. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and attentive to care for your pets while you’re away. My pup, Frankie, is always happy to make new furry friends, and I love making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet needs feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, medication reminders, or just extra love and companionship, I’ll treat them like part of my own family. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I’m a researcher who works from home, so my schedule is flexible throughout the week. I’m available for weekday care, weekends, drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays. Since I spend a lot of time at home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently offer care in my client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I’m very respectful of each home and each pet’s routine, and I’m happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding, walks, litter box care, playtime, medications, and any special needs. I’m also comfortable managing different household setups, including keeping pets separated when needed, handling multi-pet homes, monitoring doors/gates carefully, and making sure each pet feels safe, calm, and cared for.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Lake Ronkonkoma

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lake Ronkonkoma on Rover is $61.05 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 2,047 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lake Ronkonkoma. 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.

96% of Lake Ronkonkoma 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 Lake Ronkonkoma 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 Lake Ronkonkoma 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 Lake Ronkonkoma.

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 Lake Ronkonkoma 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.
