We felt so comfortable leaving our baby with him, as we knew he was in excellent hands & would be well cared for. He sent us daily updates & pictures which we really appreciated. We highly recommend John & look forward to using him again.”

“Daniel did a great job of taking care of our dog Rocky while we were away. I was a little anxious about leaving him but felt much better after our Meet and Greet. He was gentle and patient with my shy guy and it put us at ease. He sent videos of Rocky daily and accommodated our apprehension about having Rocky around other dogs. I definitely recommend Daniel for your pet sitting needs.”
“Kyla is thus far the best per sitter I've ever had & I've had many because I travel a lot. My fur baby has special needs & Kyla took impeccable care of her! I returned after two weeks away, to find a happy & content pup! Thanks Kyla! You rock!!”
“Erin boarded our dog and followed all of the same routines.We did every day.My dog acted and seemed to feel like it was a second home at aaron's house.We were so grateful and happy with her service and would only feel comfortable boarding at this house again”
“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!”
“Your search is over - Jillian is wonderful!! Not t only s she affectionate and loving with all of the dogs she is also a wonderful trainer ! My dear g had the time of his life the 4 days he spent there , playing and cuddling with everyone !!I am SO happy that I met her and I’m sure you will be too!!”
“Trisha was great, she kept us in the loop with pictures and texts the whole evening. It was the first time we left our dog Jax who’s 1-1/2 old boxer with tons of energy. Thank you Trisha and we will definitely leave Jax with again and again.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Brenda watching Beaux! She was incredibly communicative and sent daily updates and videos/photos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell how knowledgeable and experienced she is with dogs, and most importantly, how much genuine love and attention she gives them. Beaux was so happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. She even kindly kept him an additional night for us because our travel plan changed and we appreciated that so much. We would absolutely trust her with Beaux again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and flexible sitter!”
“Ashley did amazing. She had both of our dogs this time (double the trouble) but they came back very happy and well cared for. I can't recommend this sitter enough. She is amazing.”
About: I have been a dog walker for my neighbor for 5 years. I have experienced in pet sitting small and big dogs, as well as puppies and senior dogs. In my free time I walk senior dogs from a shelter. Over these years and with all my experiences, I have learned dog expressions and warning signs which help me to prevent dogs from any triggering behavior. I’m am a college student and work a weekend job. During the week after classes I have free time to dog walk. I keep my calendar updated regularly for any days where I might not be available throughout the week. I live in an apartment, which is why I choose only small to medium sized dogs to board. I have a large yard that is fenced except for the driveway entrance, for your pets safety I only take dogs into the yard with a leash and as always constant supervision.
“Dan and Denise are absolutely amazing. I'm on the east coast for 6 weeks and during that time have several business trips lined up. Dan picked me up at the airport and brought me to his place for a meet and greet and then dropped me off at my destination. The dogs got along very well, their house is impeccable and the yard is enormous! Dan and Denise said they'd be able to take the pup for all of my trips which makes everything easier on the fur baby and makes me more relaxed. She *loved* her weekend with them and is already set up for some more time later this week! It's wonderful to know that my pup has wonderful people looking out for her while I'm gone. Dan thinks about absolutely every detail and makes my life easier. He even knows my favorite drink and makes sure to have one for me when he picks me and the pup up for our trips. Not sure how I'd manage all my work travel without him.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Ronkonkoma is $60

Kerri is amazing! She has cared for our high-energy Goldendoodle, Poppy, several times, and we couldn’t be happier. She’s flexible, communicative, and transparent, with frequent photo updates and quick responses that give us complete peace of mind. When I unexpectedly went into labor, she welcomed Poppy at the last minute without hesitation. Kerri takes wonderful care of Poppy, and we highly recommend her!
Gabby is a great option for pet boarding. She is a very sweet and loving caregiver. My pup had a great time running around her back yard. He was well taken care of and I can tell he loved staying at Gabby’s “camp” for a week. She regularly sent updates and photos every day. I highly recommend Gabby.
This is the first time we are using Fanjing but she did great job with Chopper. He is a loving dog yes but need a lot of attention. Her and her husband never left his side. Thank you for that especially. I would highly recommend her to everyone who is looking for sitter :)
Our doggos took an instant liking to Kyla, whom from this first instance of contact was so incredibly polished and professional and really helped put us at ease. She sent is pictures for updates and answered all of our questions. We will definitely be repeats, our dogs had a superb time and hardly missed us at all

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Ronkonkoma is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $61 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 of October 2026, there are 1,784 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ronkonkoma. 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 Ronkonkoma 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 Ronkonkoma 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 Ronkonkoma.
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 Ronkonkoma 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.
