“Apryl was so kinda to help us out in a very last minute pinch! She was very responsive and easy to communicate with! She had a great yard and home set-up for overnight doggy guests and our pup loved the one-on-one attention she got from Apryl. When it was time to pick our pup up she didn’t want to leave! We would definitely book Apryl again!”


“From the very beginning, communication with Gabby was Fantastic. A couple of weeks before our our trip we coordinated with her to bring both of our dogs to her place for a sort of meet and greet with her and her family (dogs included). Right away our dogs and her dogs hit it off, as they are very playful and loving dogs. We also hit it off with Gabby and the rest of her family as well, as found them to be very kind, responsible, caring and without a doubt dog lovers. Her house and yard located within a nice, quiet neighborhood are very well suited for dogs. This all made the drop off a few weeks later a very smooth process. During our trip, which was out of the country, we were provided with periodic updates and pictures via text messages. Knowing that our little ones were in good hands and most of all, appearing to be their usual wacky selves, made our trip out of the country a very enjoyable one. One thing we were worried about before even having met Gabby was communication. In the end, communication turned out to be A+. We would highly recommend Gabby to other families and look forward to using her again in the near future. ”
“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!”

“Donna was amazing! Her house is very dog-friendly. Nice yard for dogs to run around, she has a big room with crates if needed, she loves these dogs and does whatever she can to make sure they are happy and comfortable. I was able to book her last minute after my holiday plans changed and was so grateful for her. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“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!”

“John was great! He kept me updated on how Darby was doing & sent pictures each day! I felt completely comfortable leaving g our boy with him & I look forward to another visit!! ❤️”

“This weekend was one of the hardest weekend of my life, we had to leave to bury my dad. I was devastated. We left King in Jinay’s care and it was the best decision. The way she took care of King made an unbearable weekend better and it’s something I will never forget. She sent us pictures, videos, and kept us up to date with our baby. Thank you Jinay for taking out the stress and worry for us and giving King love ❤️. King got to meet new friends. She even had a gift for us when we picked him up. Jinay I don’t even have to words to tell you how much we appreciated you. Thank you thank you thank you.”

“A wonderful experience for our two standards For a week Ellen adores her guests and treats them like family Very reassuring for us while away Her home and surroundings are ideal for boarding Consider yourself fortunate if offered the privilege”


About: I was raised with dogs from the time I was born, and our home was always full of animals — be it bunnies, turtles, hamsters or parrots! I’m now a proud pet mom to two cats, Tortellini and Simone, and one pup, Frankie. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and attentive to care for your pets while you’re away. My pup, Frankie, is always happy to make new furry friends, and I love making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet needs feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, medication reminders, or just extra love and companionship, I’ll treat them like part of my own family. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I’m a researcher who works from home, so my schedule is flexible throughout the week. I’m available for weekday care, weekends, drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays. Since I spend a lot of time at home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently offer care in my client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I’m very respectful of each home and each pet’s routine, and I’m happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding, walks, litter box care, playtime, medications, and any special needs. I’m also comfortable managing different household setups, including keeping pets separated when needed, handling multi-pet homes, monitoring doors/gates carefully, and making sure each pet feels safe, calm, and cared for.
“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: 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.
“"I just boarding my dog Aston for a few days stay with Kathryn and couldn't be happier!! Kathryn and her family treated my Aston like their own. Its a home-setting which is best for my Aston as he has never been in a kennel setting and does not like to be in a crate/cage. Kathryn has a lovely home and fenced backyard for the dogs to play and toys/beds in every room of the house" Highly recommend!! - Arlene. D”

“Casey had a great time playing with her new friend, Luna, while we were on vacation for a week. Vanessa sent me updates twice a day of Casey playing with the ball, wrestling with her pal and taking walks around the block. We will definitely be coming for a play date again soon!”

About: In addition to my own family dog growing up, I've taken care of my own two dogs for five years! Living in Port Jefferson has only increased my appreciation for neighborhood pups - it is an instant mood boost to see other dogs out and about. After an incredible year of receiving care from Rover ourselves, we are opening our home to take the best weekend care of your pup while you are away! I am an extremely organized person, ready for the details to best take care of your furball. -(Danielle, with help from partner Zach) On weekends, my partner and I are home all day to provide the best care and exercise for your pup! We walk our own dogs every 2-3 hours, and can adjust to the schedule that your pup needs for exercise and feeding. Additional availability during the week especially over winter break! With two friendly dogs of our own, we NEVER leave the dogs unattended. One or both of us will be present at all times. Dogs are happily allowed on furniture, but there are plenty of soft dog beds available for snoozing as well.

“Cassandra has watched my dog, Rosie, several times now over the past few years and I count myself lucky to have found her! Cassandra is very communicative and accommodating. She sends pictures and updates throughout the booking and Rosie always comes back happy and without any issues.”

“John (Jay) took wonderful care of my senior male boxer Gunnar! He really made my trip so much more enjoyable because of all the daily updates and pictures! My mind was at ease! Gunnar doesn’t spend a lot of time away from home, practically none, but now I feel very that he did so well with John and found his home away from home! Thank you so much!”

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.

Marla was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Hachi. She cared for him for six days and treated him like one of her own. Her home is cozy, her yard is spacious, and Hachi felt completely comfortable from the moment he arrived. Marla is incredibly sweet, attentive, and clearly loves dogs. We’re very grateful for the love and care she gave Hachi and would happily book with her again.

I left my dog with Paul for four nights and he was fantastic! He lives in a quiet neighborhood, very peaceful with a great yard. I got plenty of updates and photos of my girl while I was away. She was clearly comfortable and at ease at his house, her tail was wagging from the moment I dropped her off until I picked her back up! He and his wife are very capable, clearly love animals, and take whatever precautions necessary to keep your pet safe and comfortable. Next time I go away I will be calling Paul back up for her to stay again! Absolutely recommend, your pet will be in great hands.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Port Jefferson on Rover is $50.29 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,656 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Port Jefferson. About 91% of Port Jefferson 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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
