“Jeff was completely trustworthy and professional with us and our dog Coco. He sent multiple updates and great photos and videos. Coco seems to have had a terrific visit and was definitely well cared for. We would highly recommend him and will use him (if he is available) the next time we travel.”
“Jennifer was great watching our Max! I'm always nervous about leaving him somewhere new but he settled in pretty quickly with her family. She sent over 100 pictures while we were away for 6 days which I truly appreciated! I will be recommending her to anyone and everyone I meet.”
“Our Frenchies, AnaLys and Armand enjoyed their initial boarding experience with Cassandra. They were well cared for and loved in a safe home. We received pictures and videos during their stay. They have an upcoming boarding experience with Cassandra.”
“Jessica was AMAZING with my doggie Ophelia! i booked very last minute and she was kind enough to accept! she kept me updated and sent me pictures! she was very welcoming, and when i dropped off i found comfort in knowing that her house was very welcoming as well! definitely using her next time!!”
“Giana took such good care of my dog - he's currently passed out and snoring, which I feel he will be doing all week! He loved her dogs and played so well with them. She also sent a ton of pictures and even did a cute photo shoot!! I am so happy we found her!”
“Natalia is the best! She treats our fur baby like her baby. She has been our sitter for just about 2 years and she is awesome. This weekend, she attended a Halloween party with our yorkie and put her in costume too!! She was so cute. If you are having reservations about booking Natalia, DON’T!! Go ahead and make that reservation.”
About: Dogs have surrounded me since childhood, and many of them were rescues, giving me experience with a wide variety of breeds, personalities, and needs. Caring for dogs has always been a passion of mine, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. You can have complete peace of mind knowing your beloved furry family member will be safe, loved, and exceptionally well cared for, so you can travel or enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved four-legged family member is safe, happy, loved, and receiving the same level of care I would give my own pets. I live and work from my private home. Your pup will find I have plenty of time and room to take care of them. Your VIP dog will receive loving care and boarding. Rest assuredly when you’re in need of doggie care! I have a home with a private fenced in yard and have two friendly pups of my own and a large separate area for your pets if required. Since I work from home they will not be alone, which is very nice to know.
“Very glad I had the opportunity to have my dog watched by this family. Very friendly and welcoming. I received lots of updates and it shows they cared very much for my dog. Would not hesitate to use them again!”
“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!”
“Jared was great! Everything worked out perfectly with my dog's two night stay (I was visiting friends in the area but wasn't able to bring my dog due to an older dog in their home). Jared was excellent with communication and attention to detail from the outset at booking, all the way through the boarding time with regular updates that included photos and videos. His space was great - especially the fenced in yard - and with plenty of room to separate dogs if needed. It was nice that there were other dogs there as well at the time so that Teddy my dog had plenty of new friends to play with. I would definitely recommend Jared and would book with him again if I ever need to in the area. Thank you!”
“Tara S and her family are amazing ?. They took such good care of my Louie - including washing all of his bedding the day I came to get him. She has two good sized good natured dogs that kept him busy the entire time we were gone. I highly recommend her if you have a good natured medium sized dog they likes companionship & playtime. My Louie is about 90 lbs just so you have an idea of what I mean by good sized dog. We will absolutely use them again ?”
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.
“My dog Ralph has stayed with Anne-Marie a few times now, and has always enjoyed himself. I always get great photos of him, and he never wants to leave. Would highly recommend!”
“Apryl was great watching my dog while I was away. She’s friendly patient and knowledgeable and I had no worries leaving my Penny with her. Definitely recommend her services”
About: I’ve been caring for my own pets for years, including my 7-year-old dog and my cat. I genuinely love working with animals and take their safety, comfort, and well-being seriously. I’m currently enrolled in an Animal Science program, where I’ve learned proper handling techniques, animal behavior, safety protocols, and basic health knowledge. This training, combined with my hands-on experience as a dog bather, has made me confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable reading body language, keeping dogs calm, and ensuring they feel secure and well cared for. Caring for animals is part of my daily routine, and I prioritize both structure and attention. Dogs are fed on schedule, given regular supervised outdoor time in my fenced yard, and have time to play and relax in a calm environment. I am available most weekdays after 3 pm and all day on Sundays. During boarding and daycare stays, there is always an adult present in the home to ensure supervision. I am the primary caregiver and handle the majority of care, but pets are never left unattended. In my home, pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and structured environment. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and a pet friendly indoor space where dogs can relax comfortably. Dogs are never left outside unattended, and safety is always my top priority. I maintain a calm setting and monitor interactions carefully to ensure everyone stays comfortable. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide. My goal is to create a secure, consistent environment where every pet feels safe and well cared for.

Veronica was very professional and compassionate in caring for my dog, Trooper while I was away. I appreciated the photo updates and frequent beach walks with her dogs Archie and Lucas. They all got along great. I highly recommend Veronica to care for your dog too!

There are 598 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Riverhead. About 90% of Riverhead 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.
