“Kerri took the greatest care of our Alfie while we were away. She provided daily pictures of him and went above and beyond caring for him when our return flight was canceled and we had to stay away longer than expected. Alfie had not only her family to interact with but her dogs as well. We would definitely use her services again.”
“Jen was great with our dog. She sent tons of pictures and updates. My dog came back healthy and happy. We will for sure use her again for sitting. Thank you Jen for taking such good care of Winston.”
“Donna is a wonderful PetSitter! Our dog, Frankie, absolutely loved her and her family. They truly made him feel like he was home, to the point he misses them now! He cannot wait to see them again, and we will definitely be booking with Donna in the future! She kept us updated while we were away, and truly catered to our pups needs. Frankie really was in a home away from home!”
“Kelly could not have been more communicative and kind. She took such good care of our pup, and he came home exhausted (which is what we hoped for since he’s so high energy). She kept us up to date on all necessary things during our pups stay, and send videos and pictures too. We will definitely consider booking again in the future!”

“I cant thank Melissa and Matt enough for taking such amazing care of our pup while we went away on a 5 day trip. Melissa sent numerous pics throughout his stay and we were so happy with the care, love, fun, and attention he received. Pretty sure he didn’t want to even come home!! Lol.. If we ever take another trip in the near future, we will definitely be contacting them again!! :)”
“Great family. Hard working and very reliable. Plus has no problem working with whatever situation you might get stuck on during a vacation. Great job we will book again.”
“This was our first time using Rover. I was very reluctant to use a person I did not know, or friends didn't know. However, I am so glad I took the chance with a 5 day/overnight in Sarah's home. It's a relief she only takes one animal at a time since our dog doesn't like other dogs. At the meet and greet, Sarah asked many questions to get a feel for Milo (eating & bathroom habits, walking, sleeping habits etc...) To start, her home is absolutely immaculate. I received a daily update with pictures on how our dog was adjusting & doing overall. Milo was displaying some quirky behaviors which Sarah reported right away & thought was cute/funny. She was very accepting, flexible in many ways, and an absolute delight to talk with. It is apparent she is a dog lover! Upon pick up, Milo was happy and all his belongings were packed & ready to go. We plan on using Sarah again for our next trip, if she's available.”
“Ashley was fantastic. Extremely conscientious, sent pictures and text updates throughout our pooch's vacation there, and really worked with us on timing and logistics. Very reliable, and would choose Ashley again in a heartbeat.”
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!
“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 owned and cared for pets for as long as I can remember. I’m a huge animal lover and I truly believe every being deserves genuine love, patience, and personal attention. Pets are family, and I treat every furry friend as if they were my own. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. My home is located on a quarter acre lot which is completely fenced in. Your fur babies can run around in open space and enjoy plenty of fresh air. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs, whether that means energetic walks, playtime, extra cuddles, or a little more patience and attention for senior pets. I also believe communication is essential. I’ll keep you updated with pictures, videos, and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving wonderful care. Most importantly, I don’t believe pet sitting is just a job. It’s about building trust, creating a bond, and making sure every pet feels loved, protected, and right at home! I’m a stay at home Mom and work remotely; so I’ll be home with your fur baby every day:) I believe this is especially important for dogs with separation anxiety that shouldn’t be left home alone for hours. I provide a safe, clean, comfortable, and loving environment where fur babies can relax, play, and receive plenty of attention. I do my best to maintain their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and bedtime habits, so the transition feels as stress -free as possible. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, so I take the time to get to know their personality, preferences, and needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing outside, lounging around, or getting endless belly rubs, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Kellie was excellent! We had delays on our cruise (going and coming back) and she was totally understanding and went above and beyond. I highly recommend her to anyone we know and we will be using her in the future if she's available.”
“Hayley is an amazing sitter. The few days she watched the boys, she kept us updated with photos and videos and they were very happy, I highly recommend her and would definitely hire her again. Thank you Hayley!!”
“Jillian was a great sitter for Romeo! He was happy and snoozy when I picked him up. Jillian was super responsive with updates. I had a few travel snafus on the way and Jillian was very understanding and flexible.”
“This was our first time boarding Sammie outside of Petsmart. We are so happy that we chose Eliana. She took such good care of Sammie and kept me updated with a lot of pics. He looked happy and very comfortable with her family. I love that he wasn't confined to a tiny room like at Petsmart and was able to have lots of outdoor play at no extra charge. We will definitely be using Eliana the next time we need to board Sammie!”

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

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.
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.
96% 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, we recommend 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ronkonkoma. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 Rover Guarantee, 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 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
