“We’re very happy with Liza. She was very conscientious and loving with our dog. From the very start, we felt completely comforted knowing that he was in such good hands. She provided daily updates with pictures and videos throughout our 10-day trip. We will definitely book her again!”
“We are so happy with our experience with Christopher! We left our dog Remy for the first time for an overnight and Christopher was welcoming and attentive. Remy came home happy and we will definitely be booking Christopher again in the near future!”
“Belle loves staying with Loraine and her family, and my spouse and I feel at ease knowing that our girl is staying with such a loving and caring host family. Loraine sends frequent updates, letting us know that our Belle is well and having fun, and is quick to respond to any questions or concerns we may have. We are so delighted with the care Belle receives from Loraine that we happily sit in two to three hours of rush-hour traffic, from Manhattan to Long Island, to get her to Loraine's rather than leave her with anyone else.”
“Our puppy Luna had the most amazing time! Jocelyn made sure that she had her daily exercise and playtime. We also received videos, pictures, and updates during the 3 days she spent at Jocelyn’s home which made us so happy and reassured. Best puppy stay for sure, highly recommended!”
“We had a unique situation that lead us to Eric and he was incredibly accommodating. I forgot my dog's bed and he was able to provide one. He took great care of our shepherd and sent us several photos to show us our dog was doing just fine. Eric is a super nice guy to boot! Would highly recommend!”
“Penny was SO happy and looked SO comfortable with Madison. She sent vids of the pup playing with some friends while i was away, which was so sweet to see. Will happily use Madison again. Thank you !”
“This was our first time using Rover and I can say that it was a wonderful experience. Grace was very “gracious”. She kept in touch with me and even sent a picture of my Brownie at her feet. Although he got a little mischievous on the last day or too, Grace was was still very “gracious”. Her name is befitting the care that she gave my Brownie. I would recommend her to anyone and would love to use her again. Thank you Grace ??”
“Alexa is amazing and Jack came back home very happy. From the beginning Alexa suggested and accommodated a meet and greet day, and Jack was more then happy to stay with Alexa the day of babysitting. Alexa also was more then accepting of time extensions and I also met her Dad. When Jack was dropped off they had a small sign in the door with jacks name welcoming him. Thank you Alexa!!”
“Naomi was amazing! She was so communicative, comforting, and kind. She was ON TOP of things in every single way. I needed a sitter last minute about a week out from my family vacation. I was scrambling to find someone on rover and Naomi was available and excited to watch Genevieve! On top of that, Genny had a rough grooming appt a few days before dropoff, and got a corneal ulcer in which she would have to take eye drops and pain meds. Naomi without question agreed to helping administer them and make her comfortable. You can imagine how worried I was as a dog mom, leaving her with someone new and with a medical issue! Naomi made me feel so at peace leaving Genny with her. She's truly created a doggy haven at her place, with full range for them to hang out inside and out. I am so thankful I found her when I did, and that Genny had such a wonderful time! She was whining when we picked her up, she didn't want to leave! I would recommend Naomi many times over and would give her more than 5 stars if I could!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was ten years old, and I have seventeen years of hands-on experience as a dog owner and caregiver in my adulthood. Family, friends, and neighbors have also trusted me to care for their dogs. I have experience with puppies through senior dogs, including puppy training and reinforcing established routines. I am comfortable administering medications and caring for senior dogs and dogs with medical needs, and I am CPR certified. My own dog was my baby and truly like a son to me. We spent seventeen years together before he recently passed away in April. He traveled with me, went everywhere with me, and was a huge part of my life. Being a devoted dog owner myself taught me how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care. I will treat your dog with the same love, patience, attention, and respect I gave my own. I work full-time during the week, so I am primarily available for boarding and daycare on weekends and holidays, when I can devote plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care. If your dog is comfortable being home alone during my workday, weekday care may also be possible, and we can discuss your dog's individual routine and needs beforehand. When I am caring for your dog, I want their normal routine to remain as consistent as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, bathroom breaks, and bedtime routines. I live in a quiet home with a securely fenced backyard where your dog can safely spend time outside. I will only host 3 small or 2 medium dogs at a time. Dogs are welcome on my couches and beds, and if your dog normally sleeps with you, they are welcome to sleep with me too. I want my home to feel like their home while they are staying with me. I believe you know your dog better than anyone, so I will follow your care instructions closely. That includes feeding schedules, medications, walks, sleeping arrangements, training routines, house rules, and any special needs or preferences. I also pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall comfort. My priority is making sure your dog is safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while giving you peace of mind while you're away.
“This was Bailey’s first stay with Gabrielle. From the initial meet and greet to the pickup after the stay, everything was seamless! Gabrielle is an incredibly sweet, kind, caring pet sitter, and I was at ease knowing that Bailey was in such good care. Gabrielle is quick to respond to messages and kept in touch with pictures and updates during the stay. I highly recommend her and will be using her for pet care in the future!”
“Delmy and her daughter were so kind and just wonderful with my elder pup, Jake. Their home was warm, welcoming and super tidy. They provided daily photos and updates which were much appreciated. I would absolutely recommend booking Delmy and look forward to using her again. :)”
“We are definitely happy with Jorge. Our Shi-tzu dog Chico stayed 10 days at his place. Chico had absolutely comfortable and fun time with doggie friends. Jorge sent us pictures, let us know how Chico's doing, and took her for nice walks. We highly appreciate his care and communication.”
“Auredy was absolutely amazing with my two pups, Wynter and Goose! She accepted my reservation on very short notice, and from the very beginning, she made the entire experience stress-free. Over the four nights they stayed with her, Auredy walked them twice a day, sent me plenty of photos and updates, and kept me informed about how they were doing every step of the way. Her communication was exceptional—she was always quick to respond and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. The pictures and updates showed just how much fun Wynter and Goose were having, and it was clear they were being treated with genuine love and care. When I picked them up, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed their time with her. I would recommend Auredy without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. She truly deserves a 10/10, and I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you, Auredy, for taking such wonderful care of Wynter and Goose!”
“Alex & Ami were amazing with my dog! Great communication and Eddie really loved his stay with them. Will be reaching out to them again soon for another stay. Highly recommend!”
“Denis and his wife are so sweet and took great care of our dog while we were at a concert at Forest Hills stadium. Would 100% use them again. Close to the R train!”
“From the first meet and greet, we knew that Cynthia would take a great care of our Canela. She sent us updates regularly which made us feel at peace while on vacation. My daughters asked if we can always leave our dog with her whenever we go away. We definitely will. Thank you so much Cynthia.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Locust Valley is $60

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!
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!"
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.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
