“Donna did a great job watching Prince for me! He had friends to hang out with during his stay, and with her extensive knowledge of dogs she was able to keep him comfortable while i was away. I would definitely book with her again. Thank you Donna.”
“Marla is so sweet and was such a great host for our fur babies! She was super easy to communicate with and even sent us video updates while we were away! Will definitely book again when I need a sitter!”
“Gen was very accommodating by taking Winston and gave me updates the entire time. I knew the whole time Winston was safe, and was well taken care of. I will be booking w/ Gen again the next time I go away!”
“My dog had an amazing staycation with Melissa! It was my first time booking. When it came time to drop my pup off she became anxious, she usually is with new people. I was of course worried it might be too overwhelming for her. BUT Melissa assured me she would OK. They let my pup adjust to the environment before introducing her to the other dogs which plays a big part in comfortability. Because of that and Melissa’s care my dog enjoyed her stay. I was updated with 2-4 pictures a day throughout the stay as well.”
“Patrick & Karyn were amazing boarders to our mini Schnauzer. We are very happy. Our little girl enjoyed them and their dog, Levi. We received daily pictures of the many wonderful games they played, and trips that they took her on. The cuddles and love that she was given show in how relaxed she is once we got her back at home. We are very happy to have found such a wonderful home away from home for our pup. We will not hesitate to use Patrick and Karyn again in the future. They are top boarders!!”
“I highly recommend Amber. She was amazing with our lab mix. I'm new to using a dog sitter and Amber made the whole process seamless. She sent pics, videos and regular updates which was extremely appreciated!”
“Kathy was an amazing pet sitter. My dog stayed for three nights and had the best time playing with her sweet dog Ollie. Kathy was incredibly attentive and kind. My dog had hurt her leg prior to going over there and she even took the time to gently massage her leg ( after checking with me) It really meant a lot knowing my dog was so cared for uncomfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kathy again and highly recommend her!”
“Petunia ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️‘S Carlos Andrés. I wish you all could see how she runs to him when we drop her off. It is so sweet. They have a genuine love for each other. Best sitter EVER!”
“Bridgette had such a nice stay with Jennifer! We received regular photos and updates on how she was doing—it looked like she had a great time and was well cared for; she immediately crashed out for a long nap when she got home after all her fun with another dog! We wouldn’t hesitate to have her stay again; strong recommend!”

She took great care of Hunter and kept us updated throughout the weekend. I highly recommend Korin for all your pet sitting needs.”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She treated Bailey like her own and made me feel completely at ease while I was away.

About: I’ve had a dog in my life since I was 7. I’ve always had a great relationship with them. Any new environment I go to I get to know the dogs first. My friends always point out the special relationship I have with them. I’ve taken care of friends dogs throught the years too. About 3 years ago I found a puppy on the street and raised him to be the good boy you see on my profile picture. I am very comfortable with dogs and understand them very well. I hope you trust me with your little friend. I am currently away from home for a few months so for now none. Usually everyday. I take my dog most places I go with me and make sure to let him run around and let out the crazy high amounts of energy he has haha I’m living with my mother here. She loves animals and is excited of the prospect of furry friends coming over. We have a fenced yard with a pool. I’ll also be taking them for walks regularly. At the house we’ll just be hanging out together!
“Will was wonderful with our dog Ace! He sent us photos played with him and we ended up booking a second night! This allowed us to do stuff that we needed to do - knowing ace was in such good hands! I would highly recommend Will and we will definitely be using him again!”
“Rachel and Henrik (and their two wonderful kids!) watched our two Goldendoodles for the weekend, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. From the start, it was clear this was a perfect fit—we did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and instantly felt comfortable. Their home is beautiful, clean, and has a great backyard where our dogs had plenty of space to run and play. More importantly, our dogs were treated like part of the family—they got tons of attention, snuggles, and care all weekend. We also really appreciated the frequent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. When we dropped them off, our dogs were so excited they ran right in without hesitation—that says everything. You can truly tell how much Rachel and Henrik love dogs and care for them as their own. One of the nicest families we’ve met, and we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were so well cared for. We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dog care.”

Thanks to Patrick and Karyn for taking great care of Caspar. He was spoiled with long walks near the water, pup cups and doggie ice cream. What a treat. I am so happy to have found these wonderful sitters so close to home and will definitely be using them again. They are DOG PEOPLE through and through...I think Caspar may not have wanted to leave.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Port Jefferson sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Port Jefferson landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Port Jefferson 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 Port Jefferson.
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.
You and your Port Jefferson 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.
