“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.”
About: I can still cry when I tell someone the story of when I got my first dog at 13yrs old. I held that adorable golden retriever pup and cried asking if it was really mine! The story of bringing another golden retriever into the lives of my daughters can yet again bring me to tears! Such precious memories! I am now on my second chocolate lab (easier hair drying time lol). Anyway a dog enters my life it is always special. That includes my daughter's cockapoo who has stolen my heart! Whenever I am out and see a dog, no matter what the breed, I always ask to say hello and give a pet! My family and friends sometimes call me the "Dog whisperer" because I am always ready to help should a question arise about care. I have cared for friends and family dogs many times and am ready to help with yours and create a special bond while doing so! I'm currently working in a school. Therefore, my availability during the week is limited. I am available for pop ins and walks after 4pm. Saturday and Sunday I have more availability and during the summer months. I walk my dog every morning and enjoy playing in my backyard. I am always giving lots of love and attention be it snuggles or cookies! Of course the cookies are given in moderation even when it is hard to resist the eyes of my dog asking for one!
“Laurie and her family took amazing care of our dogs, Blue and Sky, overnight. They treated them like part of the family and kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell our babies were happy, safe, and well loved. We highly recommend Laurie to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Patricia was amazing!!! She posted pictures and texted me every day updating me on how Penny was doing!! Patricia was so loving and caring to my Penny that we will certainly be using Her for the next time we vacay! Penny was so happy and well taken care of when we returned! Thank you Patricia!”
“Vish was great! She took excellent care of my dog Brooklyn and was very responsive and communicative. She sent plenty of updates and photos and Brooklyn was well cared for and happy! Will absolutely reach out to her the next time I need a dog sitter.”
“Dan and Denise are the best. Minnie enjoyed herself so much she did not want to leave. We were away 4 days and I felt so comfortable knowing Minnie was happy and well taken care of. Cannot give 10 stars but I would if I could. Plan to rebook for another extended stay.”
“Sarah abs her family were amazing. She kept us up to date with texts, photos and videos every day. She paid special attention to every detail about our pups and gave us some excellent tips on modifying certain behaviors. We would definitely recommend her without hesitation.”
“I am very particular about care for my dog and everything about the experience with Danielle was 5 star+. She made time for a meet and great even though she wasn't available for the original dates I requested. She has a beautiful home perfect for dog boarding in a quite neighborhood with a fenced in yard. She and her husband are definitely dog lovers and I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with them. I can tell my dog had a great time there. FWIW, I never write reviews, so just the fact I did will tell you how happy I am to find Danielle and recommend her to other dog lovers!”
“Trinity is so friendly and you can tell how much she loves and cares for dogs. I felt so comfortable leaving my puppy Birdie with her knowing she would be very well taken care of. Trinity provided plenty of updates and pictures of Birdie during her stay. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!!!”
“Yessenia was absolutely lovely to work with. She answered any questions we had as first time Rover customers in order to put us at ease. We could see from the first interaction that she would be kind to our dog, as she immediately got down and gave her hand to the dog to sniff and then pet her. She has a daughter with a sweet and gentle personality, who kindly shared her own blanket with the dog to make the dog feel more comfortable. Yessenia‘s husband was friendly and pleasant as well. Yessenia sent us multiple pictures and updates over the weekend while she watched the dog. Though we brought some supplies, she was also prepared with her own if necessary. Furthermore, since Yesenia had already experienced life with a senior dog, she offered us some suggestions that might help with our pup. Our Rusty had never been cared for by a stranger up to this point. It was hard for us to leave her. That said, we would not only highly recommend Yessenia and her family to other dog owners, we will definitely reach out to Yessenia again if we need someone to board the dog. She even included a lovely note about the experience. Her thoughts were genuine, and it was nice for us to be reminded about the beauty of our dog whom we see every day.”
“My dogs have stayed with Jenny a few times and they are always in good hands. This most recent stay we were late picking them up and she was very gracious and understanding about it.”
“Sharon and her family were so great! This is the first time We’ve ever left our bulldog with anyone other than family and only the third time we’ve left him overnight. Sharon’s reviews were what grabbed my attention. I reached out and asked if we could set up a meet and greet. She said yes right away (she’s SUPER responsive). We set it up and it went great. She sent me updates and pics all the time we were away and I felt 100% at ease leaving Creasy with her and her awesome family. I would use Sharon again, for sure.”
“Veronique and husband are wonderful dog sitters they we’re very caring , patient and loving with our old and grumpy baby, we received updates every day I would recommend them we are very happy with the service and time thank you 😊”
“Kayla and her family did a great job watching Luna, our 17 month old cavapoo. We were leaving Luna overnight and when I told her we were worried that Luna would run out the front door, she was very empathetic to our concerns and bought a gate to put us at ease. That sealed it for me. I would definitely use Kayla again. Thank you Kayla and family!”
“John was an amazing sitter for our dog Lucy! From the start, he was kind, affectionate, and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with her, treating her as if she were his own. Lucy also enjoyed playing with his sweet dog, Dallas! Johns communication was outstanding—he sent thoughtful updates and photos and always responded quickly, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Lucy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We highly recommend John and will absolutely be booking with him again!”
“Nicole was amazing!! She took such amazing care of our Brody. She sent daily updates and followed through with every care request we had, down to brushing him and administering eye ointment. She’s is obviously very experienced as our anxious guy had some diarrhea during his stay and she handled it perfectly. She is warm and loving. We will definitely be asking Nicole to watch him again.”
“From the moment we met Anna, we knew she was a good fit! She made booking the meet and greet, drop off and pick up super easy. Scout liked Anna’s sweet disposition and I liked that she kept us updated! Scout came home happy and healthy. We would highly recommend Anna to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
“Dawn,made my Optimus Prime right at home. From our meet and greet,I knew she would take care of Optimus like her own. She’s very detail oriented(+++),took time to know Optimus behavior,likes and dislikes,eating schedule,habits which for me is very reassuring that he will be well taken cared of. Dawn also gave frequent updates and sent photos of Optimus. She was also very helpful in administering medication for Optimus . Dawn is the BEST !!!”

Sara is a wonderful dog sitter, and I feel so lucky to have her taking care of Cosmo. She's incredibly thoughtful, caring, and attentive with him, and her whole family is amazing. Cosmo always has the best time with them! Sara is also extremely reliable and flexible, making everything so easy and stress-free for me. I couldn't recommend her more highly
Above and beyond! Our boys have alot of differing special needs. Annabelle understood all of our needs and gave us every confidence our boys were going to be safe and loved. We loved the photo updates. They came home tired and not over fed. We will definitely book again.

There are 13,073 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Melville. About 88% of Melville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.

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.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
