About: Hello, my name is Tony and I’ve lived in Syosset, New York for 27 years with my wife two daughters and Jack,my golden doodle. I’ve grown up with five dogs throughout my life until my last dog passed in 1999, I was very sad and heartbroken until on October 2023. My daughter brought home a golden doodle puppy, I call him Jack. She calls him Ginger because of his hair color 😂. I treat him like a son walking him every day has allowed me to meet other beautiful dogs, which Jack and I call them friends 😂,as a retired limousine driver in New York City, I dealt with rich and famous and demanding people for over 35 years now I just want to cater to dogs. It makes me feel content happy and relaxed,being that I am retired I have a lot of time and flexibility, I’m happy to visit your pooch or you can come over to my house whenever is best for your schedule. I have a big clean finished and heated area where we could play on cold and rainy days and play outside in my big clean fenced in backyard. I will treat your dog as if he or she was mine. I will send you pictures and FaceTime you throughout the day if you wish,hope to see you soon thank you🙏. I’m retired so I have a lot of time on my hands,they’ll get a lot of attention.My schedule is open available 24/7 I would like your pup to be comfortable with me. We can meet and greet if you like, during the time that I am with you pop, we can FaceTime or give you photo/video updates, I have a very large, professionally manicured backyard that’s fenced in, on those rainy or hot days or nights, I have a large finished clean basement that’s nice and cool or warm at night with a large 65 inch flatscreen for them to watch relaxing dog videos.
“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.”

“This is a rebook and took care of our Maverick and Pepper for a week. Lots of pictures and clips daily. She’ll make you feel comfortable with constant communication and updates! Goes above and beyond she can cover to accommodate your and your pets needs! Highly recommended!”

“Dilania is the best sitter we’ve had so far. She is super friendly and her dogs are such delights! Her yard is very big so the dogs had so much space to play and run around. She is also very understanding and took care of Ghost as if he were her own. We will definitely continue to use Dilania as our sitter.”

“What a wonderful experience for Wally and me with Caroline watching him! He did not want to come home! She is a loving dog mom herself and sent me lots of photos while he stayed with her – he was smiling in all of them. Cannot recommend Caroline highly enough.”

About: I absolutely adore all types of animals and have always been happiest when I’m around them. I have 17+ years of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. As a pet owner myself, I understand daily routines, behavior, and how to create a calm, structured environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. I take a patient and attentive approach, focusing on consistency, supervision, and positive interactions. I’m comfortable managing different energy levels, feeding schedules, and maintaining a clean, organized space. My goal is to provide dependable, stress-free care so your pet feels secure and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide consistent supervision throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and rest. Dogs are not left alone for long periods, and I maintain a structured routine to keep them comfortable and settled. I provide a clean, safe, and calm home environment where pets are closely supervised at all times. I keep a limited number of dogs to ensure each one gets individual attention and to maintain a low-stress setting. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and interactions to ensure all pets are comfortable and safe. I can separate dogs if needed and will always follow your pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and any specific care needs.
“It was such a great experience for our stay with Ningning and her sweet family! I would highly recommend and we will absolutely stay with her again. She take great care for our puppy, take her for walks couple times everyday, offer meals and snacks, playtime, and lots of cuddles and love! I received pictures and videos updates for their daily activities. The communication is smooth and timely. We were able to have a great family vacation knowing our puppy is doing great, it felt like a mini vacay for our puppy as well!”

“Estamos muy satisfechos con Jamie, nos mantuvo informando sobre spike, enviando fotos etc. tuvimos una tarde mas tranquila con mi esposa contratandola sabiendo que mi perro estaba en buenas manos definitivamente super recomendada”

“Krissy was great and I can tell that my dog was happy the whole time. He made so many doggie friends and was always in good company. She also sent updates with images daily of what they were doing. She is amazing and would highly recommend.”

“My dog, Blue, came back from his long weekend with Giovanna in a happy little mood. I can tell he really enjoyed his visit, and that means so much! Giovanna sent photos while we were away, which was reassuring. She certainly kept Blue busy with snowy walks. He's a dog who likes to be active. I could not be happier with this first booking.”

“Karishma did an excellent job taking care of our puppy. This was the first time we had left our dog alone overnight, and Karishma put us at ease with her demeanor and was great about sending photos, videos and texts about how she was doing. When I came to pick her up, she had everything packed up for us and ready to go.”

“Pamela is amazing. She took such good care of Quinn I didn’t worry a second about how he was doing. She sent us so many pictures and videos of him having so much fun. She definitely treats every dog she cares for like her own.”

“We had such a wonderful experience! Dior felt right at home from the moment she arrived and was so well cared for during her stay. We loved getting updates and could tell she was receiving lots of attention, love, and even some extra treats. Especially because Dior was in heat we were so happy she was comfortable. The thoughtful gift keychain was such a sweet surprise and really showed how much they care about both pets and their owners. We came home to a happy pup and couldn't ask for more. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their dog!”

“I am so satisfied with Alba’s dog sitting for my two dogs this past weekend! I have an almost four year old and a fourteen year old dog, and Alba cared for both of their different needs excellently. I received frequent updates without having to ask, and was able to meet her and visit her home before agreeing to let my dogs stay there. I felt at ease once I met her, and could see her love for dogs. She has a fenced in yard that even the smallest of dogs couldn’t escape through, and she lives in a walkable neighborhood with sidewalks. Right away, my two boys felt at home during our pre-visit. I will definitely be using Alba in the future, and would recommend her to anyone who is traveling and wants to leave their dogs in a safe, comforting, and loving home.”

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.

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.
