“Anne-Marie did an amazing job watching my dog, Ralph, for the weekend! She kept me updated throughout and made Ralph feel right at home—letting him snuggle on the couch and even sleep in bed with her. Ralph came home happy, relaxed, and properly tuckered out. Highly recommend her!”
“Marcela was great, we left our dog with her for 3 nights. She always informed us at all times and sent us videos and pictures. She is always going to be my first choice whenever I need a dog sitter! She is knowledgeable about animals and truly cares about your pet. I know she is reliable and honest.”
“Carlos is such a wonderful dog sitter! He really cares about your pet while they are with him. We are returning clients and will absolutely continue to schedule with him. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Ruby!”
“Yi Jia was amazing—we felt completely at ease leaving CHAI in her care. Before our boarding date, she arranged a meet-and-greet and carefully noted everything CHAI needed attention on. During the days CHAI stayed with her, she kept us updated with photos and videos. We would definitely choose her again. Thank you.”
“We had a fantastic experience and highly recommend Jessica. She provided exceptional care for our 75-pound Standard Poodle, while we were away for a couple days. The communication was outstanding from start to finish, and the regular updates gave us complete peace of mind. It is incredibly reassuring to find someone so reliable, organized, and attentive.”
“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!”
“Brianna was the best! Super communicative and thoughtful, and our dog had the absolute best time. Would highly recommend her and definitely leave our dog with her again!”
“Ashley went above and beyond to take care of my dog. She was flexible with pick up and drop off. She made sure he had adequate air conditioning during a heat wave. She went to great lengths to give him his medications. And she even gave him a bath before returning him to me. She is knowledgeable and caring. I would definitely recommend her!”

“This was my first time to board my little pup. I was definitely anxious to leave him, but Stephanie did a great job by sending me photos of Maverick each day & giving me updates about him. He looked so happy & well taken care of. Thank you Stephanie!”
“Tara is a great care giver for my dog, a large lan. She has a a dog equipped home and a fenced in back yard. She’s cheerful, accommodating, and provided healthy snacks. She and her husband took her for walks multiple times per day. Totally trustworthy and communicative. Best Rover find ever!”
“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!”
“Jinay & her husband, are wonderful! Very genuine, honest, and caring. Positive vibes all the time. Also very knowledgeable concerning dog care and behavior. I recommend them to all who have loving dogs.”
“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!”
“Natalia has been our sitter over 1 year now and Petunia LOVES her. She is so excited to see her when we drop her off. When Petunia stays with Natalia, we know she is safe, loved and in her second home. The best! Book it!”
“Jayme was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and always responded quickly to our messages. We felt so at ease knowing Finnegan was in such good hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and that he had a great time with her dogs. We highly recommend Jayme to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”

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. 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.
