“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!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have over 12 years of professional experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities! Along with my grooming background, I have hands-on experience with pet sitting, dog walking, and administering medications. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, and dogs with different temperaments, including shy, anxious, and reactive pups. As a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom myself, I understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable in my care! I offer flexible availability throughout the week and on weekends for boarding and pet care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine, including regular potty breaks, meals, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention. I keep my calendar updated so you’ll always know when I’m available! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! My home offers a loving environment with a fully fenced yard, plenty of room to play, and lots of attention. I have a friendly, well-socialized dog and cats of my own, so proper introductions and compatibility are very important to me. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their space and follow their usual routines as closely as possible. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll provide attentive, personalized care, regular updates, and plenty of love so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

They looked after him extremely well, gave me frequent updates (texts and photos) and made me feel very comfortable that my dog was in great hands. I highly recommend, and I will use them again!!”

I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip knowing she was in good hands. Korin was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure Rajah was comfortable and well cared for. I would not hesitate to trust her with my cat again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”

“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.”

“Having just moved to Long Island, my husband and I were in search of a reliable dog sitter for our dog, Kilo. We always had friends watch him in Miami, and were a bit nervous leaving Kilo with a stranger for 3 nights. Initially, we checked out some kennels in the area, and found them quite depressing. That led us to look on Rover, and Daniel's profile came up first. I reached out to Daniel to inquire about booking with him, and within minutes Daniel had responded and we set up a meet and greet for later that night. I stopped by with Kilo to see Daniel's set up/house. I could immediately tell that he was a dog person and was going to treat my dog as his own! I was nervous because Kilo can be a little territorial with other large males, but Daniel reassured me that everything would be fine. I dropped Kilo off later that week for his stay with Daniel and his family. Daniel sent pictures of Kilo playing outside and responded to any questions/concerns I had about Kilo during his stay. I felt totally confident that my dog was in good hands at his house. Daniel and his family will definitely be my dog people on the island! I absolutely recommend their services. I've already booked Kilo's next stay, and I also look forward to dropping Kilo off every once in a while for day care services just so he can run around and play with other dogs in a safe environment!”

About: For the comfort and safety of every pup, I only host one family’s dog at a time. This allows me to give your dog my full attention and maintain a calm, low stress environment. My care goes beyond the basics. it’s rooted in genuine love and experience. My journey caring for Kayne, our special needs dog, taught me how to handle medical routines, provide comfort, and stay attentive to every detail. That experience shaped my approach to every pet I welcome. I understand that each animal deserves patience, respect, and love. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs a little extra care, they’ll always be treated like family in our home. We’re CPR and First Aid certified, giving you extra peace of mind while your pup is in our care. Pet care is woven into my daily life and something I genuinely love. As a stay at home mom, I’m home full time to give every furry friend constant love and attention. Our days revolve around walks, playtime, and snuggles. Caring for our late dog, Kayne, who developed a spinal injury and heart condition, taught me that true care takes patience, compassion, and adaptability qualities I bring to every pet I meet. In our home, every animal is treated like family. I provide a clean, safe, and active space with multiple walks, a fenced yard for play, and individualized routines. Through my experience caring for Kayne, who required special medical attention, I learned how to adapt to any level of care whether it’s energetic puppies or older companions needing extra comfort. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands that treat them as one of our own.

“Catherine takes special care to accommodate each pet individually and follow any instructions . I have 2 seniors and they do very well at her home and in her care. They have stayed with her several times. She updates frequently which is a relief to me while away. This past stay was the longest so far and all went well. Great pet sitter”

“Naomi!!! Amazing!!!Talk about a peace of mind! We had to leave in rather short notice & Naomi was so accommodating!!! Fin & Daisy fell in love right away w/ Naomi & her little Puppy Love Gazebo!! What a cool “kennel-esque” feel, well even more of a She Shed vibe, you know like a place you want to escape to with a good book & a glass of wine … except this one was designed perfectly for pups! Exactly what I was looking for, their own dedicated space full of warmth, the perfect cozy spot to curl up in, yet with plenty of room to roam & explore!! Naomi was incredibly kind, caring, and attentive to our two little dogs. It was clear from the beginning that she genuinely love animals and treated our pups with so much patience, affection, and care. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. We highly recommend Naomi to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was a kid. I’ve trained 3 dogs and am currently working on training the puppy I currently own. I am also able to take care of senior animals based on their individual needs. I work and live on campus at Stevens Institute of Technology, and my job is extremely flexible to where I can take care of my animals at any time of the day. So making sure animals are taken care of is not a problem. I live in an apartment so I walk my dogs through the city of Hoboken and am able to take them to any dog parks in the area. I am also able to crate small dogs if necessary.

Bosco loves getting to stay with Yi and his family! Love coming home to a healthy, happy, pup. Yi is easy to coordinate with, quick to respond, and has a great attitude. This was our second trip with him and we’ll definitely be doing more. I’d recommend him but i also don’t want him to be booked up! Hahah. Thank you again Yi!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Port Jefferson

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Port Jefferson is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,582 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Port Jefferson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

97% of sitters in Port Jefferson 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 Port Jefferson home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .

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.
