“So responsive to our texts and communication was great. She treated Ranger like a part of the family and send us lots of photos. Ranger got along with her dog and cat and we plan to have Ranger stay here again in the future”
“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.”
“Ollie had a great stay with Alissa! She was very communicative and Ollie seemed to have a great time. Very conveniently located near the Hicksville train station. Would happily book with her again.”
“Alba is fantastic! She welcomed Lady into her home and treated her as her own! Our little girl is happy, loving, and energetic. We found the perfect match with Alba! She kept in touch sending pics and videos showing Lady doing what she loves most...playing ball and sleeping alongside those she is comfortable with. This was our first time ever leaving a pet with someone not a family member or close friend. She was there from Friday morning to Sunday evening. A great comfort to know she wasn't alone at night. This was a great experience for us and would not hesitate to recommend Alba! We would certainly book with Alba again!”
About: As an active dog lover who enjoys outdoor activities, I make sure your pup gets exercise, fun walks, and plenty of affection. I am attentive to their daily routines, feeding schedules, and safety at all times. Because I am at home all day long, I can give your pup undivided attention and care. I keep a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and potty breaks, ensuring your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-loved every moment. Also I am always around to provide constant companionship, extra playtime, regular updates, and instant care whenever needed. Ssafety and care are my top priorities. My career background makes me naturally attentive to your pet's health, behavior, and any special medical needs. I provide a secure, hazard-free home environment with constant supervision, ensuring your dog feels safe, calm, and well cared for at all times.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every dog I look after. I treat them like my own—with love, patience, and respect for their routines. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, and I’m comfortable with both puppies and senior dogs. I understand that each dog has its own personality and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe and happy in my care. Since I’m not currently a dog owner, I pour all my energy and affection into the dogs I sit for. I also have a fenced yard, which gives dogs a secure place to play and relax. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always keep pet parents updated so they can feel confident while they’re away. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make time for it on weekends and some weekday evenings. I’m usually available on weekends for boarding and daycare, and with advance notice, I can provide walks or care after 5:00 PM during the week. Since I don’t currently have a dog of my own, spending time with pets through Rover gives me the chance to enjoy their company and provide the attention they deserve. It’s something I look forward to fitting into my weekly routine, and I always plan my schedule carefully to give each dog quality care and attention. When caring for dogs in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I live in a house with a fenced yard, so dogs have a secure space to play and get fresh air. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding, walking, playtime, and rest—based on their owner’s instructions. I keep a calm, clean environment and always give plenty of love and attention. For walks and weekend daycare, I focus on making the experience fun and stress-free. I tailor walks to each dog’s energy level and needs, whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk for exercise. I also pay close attention to leash safety, weather conditions, and staying in familiar areas unless otherwise requested. Whether in my home or out and about, your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority.
“Michelle was great with my Siberian husky mix. She came back safe and sound. We received daily photos which I appreciated even though we were only away for 4 days”
“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.”
“So grateful to have found Vanessa and her family to look after our beagle Max for the weekend. They took care of him as if he were one more of their family, and Max had a great time playing with their dog Luna. Definitely recommend!!”
“We left our basset hound with Krissy and her family for a few days while we had to go out of town. The entire time he was there I felt a sense of ease that I had never felt in the past with other pet sitters. Krissy stayed in constant communication with me and was super flexible with our dog’s needs. He doesn’t like to sleep alone and she even slept on the couch with him to ease his anxiety!! She followed every instruction I gave and watched him the entire time he was outside playing with her dogs. At the end of his visit, Krissy was so kind and gave us a little thank you treat and even cleaned our dog’s bowls!! I have nothing but amazing things to say about her and will definitely use her again!!”
“Jennifer is excellent. It was her first time taking care of Leo and everything went great. She checked in daily with me. I will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“I had such a wonderful experience with her watching my dogs! She did an outstanding job and kept me updated throughout the entire stay with regular messages and lots of adorable photos. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were happy, safe, and well cared for. She was kind, reliable, and clearly loves animals. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again! ❤️🐾”
About: My parents surprised me with my first puppy when I was 17 and I can proudly say I raised my Rosie to be the sweetest most playful girl. I got Rosie a senior brother (with no teeth) five years later and now Rosie and Georgie are the bestest of buds. I can't wait to further my pet experiences while taking care of other peoples pets the same way I would care for mine!! I'm a part-time Starbucks barista, part-time online college student for graphic design, and full time animal lover. I am available at Starbucks Sundays and Tuesday-Saturdays. I'm looking to earn some extra cash and can't think of a better way to do so. I can feed, play, and give your pet as many belly rubs as they want! We can even run around outside on a walk to get some exercise in.
“Jenna and Greg were so great! They constantly sent us updates and videos on how Sadie was doing and how the two dogs were getting along. They went out of the way to meet us at a park a day prior to make sure our dogs would get along and were super hospitable. Sadie would be pleased to stay with them again!”
“If you want your pup to feel like they're at a home away from home - book with Tina. She and her family (two young children who will entertain your dog endlessly) will provide a loving environment with lots of play and attention. I boarded my 7 year old pit mix for several days and he felt right at home immediately. Tina was great sharing photos and videos of Lincoln playing in the fenced in back and taking lots of walks (I think he thought twice about coming back home :)). So happy I found her.”
“Katharine is a gem. She is sweet, knowledgeable, and is a total dog lover. She cared for my little buddy so well and gave us regular updates on how everything was going throughout the weekend. We will absolutely use her services again.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Plainedge is $60

Crystal and her family were great! I reached out last minute looking for a sitter for our pit/hound mix. People seem to be very hesitant to sit a dog with a pit mix. Crystal wasn’t phased at all and was super accommodating. Crystal had a meet-and-greet set up quickly and was super welcoming to our dog. Crystal sent pictures every day and was awesome at letting us know how our dog was doing during the trip. Would absolutely recommend Crystal to anyone!
We had a wonderful experience with Jim and Ellen as our dog sitters! They were incredibly caring, responsible, and attentive throughout our dog’s stay. It was clear from the beginning that they genuinely love dogs and treated ours like part of their own family. They kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind while he was with them. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we picked him up. We couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters and would absolutely trust Jim and Ellen with our dog again. Highly recommended!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Experience with Matt & Kristina! Matt & Kristina were absolutely amazing from start to finish! From our very first meet-and-greet, they took the time to get to know Rocky and make sure he would be a good fit for their family and their two beautiful dogs. Matt showed us their yard and explained where Rocky would be safe to run around and play. He gave us a full rundown of everything and patiently answered all of our questions, which immediately made us feel comfortable and confident leaving Rocky with them. We ended up booking a full week! Throughout Rocky’s stay, we received regular updates, pictures, videos, and text messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was so wonderful to see how happy and comfortable Rocky was. He got along great with their family dogs and even their super-cute daughter! You can truly tell that Matt & Kristina genuinely care about the dogs in their care and treat them like family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Matt & Kristina and will definitely be booking with them again in the future, especially when we need to travel out of the country. Rocky had an amazing time, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such great hands! 🐾❤️ The Arjoon Family 🫶🏻 Breed: Pomsky 😂 more the size of Husky
We could not be happier with the care Toby received from Thu and her family! This was our first time leaving him with an in home sitter and we are thankful for such a great experience. We received updates and photos which put our minds at ease and Toby was so happy to have Pi and Jinx to play with! I can tell he already misses his new friends!
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.
Trevor and Sabrina did an absolutely amazing job with my dog, Clyde. I received photos, communication was seamless, and due to my travels being delayed was able to have my dog spend some extra time there with no hesitation. Overall the experience was amazing and will definitely be returning to them in the future.
Cindy did great with Candy! Candy is definitely spoiled and needy most days but Cindy was able to meet all her needs and keep her content and resting while we were away on vacation. We enjoyed receiving little videos of her everyday and We will definitely use Cindy again in the future.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Plainedge 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 Plainedge 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 Plainedge.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Plainedge. On Rover:

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Plainedge 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
