“Nicholas took great care of Bentley for us when we went out of town for 5 nights. His communication the entire time was great and handled everything with ease. We will definitely be using him again when we travel.”
“Jennifer was amazing, incredibly patient and met with us before we boarded our son with her. She provided so many updates and addressed all of our needs and special requests with Ludo, and we would not hesitate to book her again. She truly worked to get to know Ludo to give him the best care possible.”
“Alissa was great with Chutney. We got regular updates with videos. We had some last minute changes with pick up, Alissa was very flexible and we didn’t have to worry. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Daniel was wonderful! He shared photos each day of Cash's stay and was flexible when our flight got delayed and he had to stay another night. Will definitely use him in the future.”
“Jordan is pleasant and responsive. Latke was returned happy and healthy. He let me know that he had another booking that would overlap mine, which turned out OK but would have been an issue if the dogs didn’t get along. His apartment is small and it would have been difficult to keep the dogs separated. Also I would have appreciated more photos, especially on the first day with the other dog. He responded promptly with pictures when prompted. Overall, I would recommend him.”
“Outstanding care. My 2 dogs were loved and spoiled from the moment I dropped them off to the time I picked them up. They enjoyed 6 days of playing and cuddling. Michelle sent daily updates and pictures. My dogs were safe and cared for. I would recommend her 100%. Thank you!”
About: Hi! I’m Cassandra, a caring, reliable, and experienced dog lover who has grown up caring for dogs and understands how much love, patience, and attention they need. I currently have a 6-year-old Bichon Shih Tzu who is a big part of my family, so I’m very comfortable with daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping a pup happy and comfortable. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and affection I give my own, while making sure every walk and sit is safe, fun, and stress-free! 🐾 if you are happy with my services, tips are greatly appreciated. I work part time in Huntington. I work Tuesday through Friday in office and Thursday’s remote, 10-4 Weekends are free, and Mondays I am off. I am very personable with animals and their parents. I take a lot of time and care into my work with pets and people, and their homes too.
“Karine, Ryan and Misu are the best! If you want your dog to be treated like family while you are away and not worry at all, they are the ones to call. I am an overprotective dog mom and my little guy is super attached to us, but miraculously he warmed up to Karine right away. He ate well, played, went out for lots of walks, got along great with Misu and was so well-adjusted while we were out of the country. I could not have asked for a better experience and give Karine my highest recommendations. She also sent me a lot of wonderful photos, so I always knew what activities Chewie was up to each day. 5 stars!!!”
“We used Samantha K. while visiting from out of town for a wedding, and we could not have been happier! It is always stressful leaving your pup in an unfamiliar city, but Samantha K gave us total peace of mind. We received regular updates and photos, which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the wedding celebrations knowing our dog was in great hands. They were incredibly professional, flexible with our shifting schedule, and truly loved our dog like their own. We highly recommend Samantha K to anyone—local or traveling!"”
“Yaina took excellent care of our girl Tilly. She had some playmates, snuggle mates and an overall good time. Yaina was very good in sending photos and videos of Tilly’s stay. Highly recommend.”
“Dilania is absolutely wonderful! She took care of our dog as if he were her own. Our pup was instantly comfortable and at home with her and she took excellent care of him. I highly recommended her!”
“Julia was terrific! She and Bailey hit it off right away. Got a bunch of pics with Bailey out for a walk, playing with toys and a restful night sleep. Will use Julia again!”
“They are truly wonderful people and they kept me updated on how Kodac was doing including pictures he came home happy and feeling good. Thank you very much for taking care of my beloved Kodac.”
“I’ve used Wendy twice now, and both experiences have been wonderful! She is reliable, caring, and truly takes great care of my dog. It gives me such peace of mind knowing my pup is in good hands while I’m away. She’s easy to communicate with, dependable, and someone I feel completely comfortable trusting with my dog. I’m so happy I found her and will absolutely continue booking with her. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾”
“Kris took care of our dog, Luna over February break. We found him wonderful. He was caring towards Luna and always made sure to send pictures and videos. Luna came back so happy!”
“Rafaelina was so fantastic with our Frenchie. She was excellent at providing daily updates and photos. It was so comforting to know that our "baby' was well taken care of while we were away. We would HIGHLY recommend Rafaelina and look forward to booking with her again!”
“I had a fantastic experience with this dog boarding provider! From the moment I dropped my pup off, I felt completely at ease. William was kind, patient, and clearly passionate about animals. He provided regular updates, photos, and videos, which truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would book him again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Locust Valley
It is such a luxury to go on vacation knowing my animals are in Danny’s care. He and his family treat my fur babies like members of their own family. During our trip, Danny even dressed Lilo in a Colombia soccer jersey so she could cheer on the game with them, and both dogs got to celebrate the Fourth of July as part of the family. He also reached out ahead of the fireworks to ask how they typically react so he could make them as comfortable and stress-free as possible. That level of thoughtfulness and genuine love for animals is rare. I never worry when they’re with Danny, and I can’t recommend him highly enough.
Danielle has taken care of our Cavapoo twice, and we couldn't be happier with the care she provided. She is dependable, attentive, and extremely professional. From the moment we met her, we felt confident that our dog was in great hands. She kept us updated, made sure all of our dog's needs were met, and treated him with genuine kindness and care. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was safe, happy, and well cared for while we were away. We highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We will definitely be booking her again!

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 Locust Valley 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 Locust Valley 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 Locust Valley.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Locust Valley 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.
