“Literally a staycation for our pup. Vanessa went above and beyond with everything !! We received pics and updates daily which put us at ease on vacation. A real home away from home for any dog lucky enough to get time with their family!”
“Amber was awesome with Jag. Sent me pictures & videos of Jag having fun. I would definitely recommend Amber. I’ve never felt so comfortable leaving my dog with anyone. Thank you again Amber for making my time away relaxing & worry free!”
“Sherlock's enjoyed his stay! Glad he got along well with Oakley and Archer right off the bat. Kerri was so kind and was awesome with providing with pictures and updates every day.”
“Rachel and Henrik (and their two wonderful kids!) watched our two Goldendoodles for the weekend, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. From the start, it was clear this was a perfect fit—we did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and instantly felt comfortable. Their home is beautiful, clean, and has a great backyard where our dogs had plenty of space to run and play. More importantly, our dogs were treated like part of the family—they got tons of attention, snuggles, and care all weekend. We also really appreciated the frequent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. When we dropped them off, our dogs were so excited they ran right in without hesitation—that says everything. You can truly tell how much Rachel and Henrik love dogs and care for them as their own. One of the nicest families we’ve met, and we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were so well cared for. We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dog care.”
“Chief had a wonderful time with Jennifer and her family. He was well taken care of and we received lots of communication and pictures/videos. We look forward to Chief's next visit with Jennifer.”
“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!”
“Kristen was great with Hudson the English Mastiff. Kept us updated on him settling in to his new surroundings for the week and she made us feel at ease. Would definitely rebook with this Rover in the future. Keep up the great work and thanks again.”
“From start to finish, Veronique made the whole experience stress-free and full of peace of mind. They were so kind with my dog and kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos, which I loved. I could see how happy and comfortable my pup was the entire time, and I never had a single worry. It’s clear Veronique and her family truly cares and puts their heart into what they do. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and maybe even a little sad to leave! I’m so grateful for their care and can’t recommend them enough to other pet owners.”
“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 are now a regular with Theresa. Her family is great with Sal and I have no concerns about leaving him there. Also, she sends great photos of Sal and her daughter playing. I highly recommend her.”
“Donna was exactly what we needed! A caring person who could handle our puppy with care and compassion. She was good with communicating with us on how our puppy was doing. We will certainly continue to work with her.”
“Our two dogs stayed with Alejandro for 5 days and they loved it! Very responsive and great with dogs, even taught our 1 year old golden a new trick! Sent videos and pictures and kept us up to date on how everything was going. Would highly recommend!”
About: As a graduate student pursuing a doctorate in Physical Therapy, I am responsible, attentive, and highly dependable. I understand that every pet has unique needs, whether that means keeping up with an energetic puppy, providing extra patience and support for a senior pet, or making sure anxious pets feel comfortable and safe. I am committed to treating every pet as if they were my own and keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they're away. I have been around dogs my whole life especially Rotties and Labs!:) Being a graduate student, my schedule is very consistent and predictable. I will be working M/W: 12pm- 8pm T/TH: 7am- 3pm Friday: 10am - 6pm If I’m not at work I’m with your pup! I will usually have a break throughout the day that allows me to come home or stop by for potty breaks, walks, feeding, and check ins as needed. My parents are also home so your pup will never be left alone for more than a couple minutes! Someone is usually always home. On weekends I am always around which allows me to spend the morning, afternoon and evening providing attentive care, exercise, playtime, and companionship. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and maintain their normal routine. At my home, pets have access to a fully fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and play. I provide regular walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention based on each pet's individual needs. I live very close to my campus which gives me access to get home as quickly as 2 minutes for just incase purposes

“Diana and her family were wonderful. She hosted our dog for four days and we got pictures and updates from her every single day. Our dog Jazz definitely loved staying with Diana!”
“Megan and her family did a fantastic job taking care of my senior dog. She sent pictures daily, was honest about when Bailey didn’t finish a meal, and didn’t mind answering any questions I had. She made Bailey feel comfortable and loved which was so important to me. Thank you Megan!”
“Samantha has taken such great care of our fur babies. She is caring and loves them like they were her own pets. I can always count on her to give them the attention they need. They are both senior dogs and need special attention and care. I would not hesitate to use her when we need her services. I would highly recommend her any time.”

Thank you so much for the wonderful care you gave Ivy during her stay at your home. We appreciated the photos of her, but were really surprised by how observant you were of some of her special little quirks that we think make her such a love. It showed us how caring and loving you are for all these sweet little animals you are!
My dogs Bella and Bailey were in amazing hands with Rachel, Henrik and their children. They treated my dogs like they were their own from the moment they entered their home. My dogs are 14 years old and have some special needs and Rachel was up to the task! She even cooked rice for Bailey when he had an upset stomach! I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs to have their dogs taken care of. My dogs got spoiled and would love to visit again in the future! Thanks for everything :)
Kristen was absolutely wonderful. We had never left our dogs with a sitter before, but Kristen took care of our girls as well as we could. Peace of mind cannot be bought at any price but Kristen’s love of animals enabled us to enjoy our vacation without worry. One million stars!
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
We can’t say enough great things about Samantha! This was our first time ever leaving our dog Luna with someone, and from the very beginning she made us feel completely at ease. She was kind, communicative, and treated Luna like her own. Luna was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved during her 3-night stay. We’re so grateful to have found Samantha and would absolutely trust her with Luna again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Smithtown on Rover is $66.38 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,842 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Smithtown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Smithtown sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Smithtown landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Smithtown 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 Smithtown.
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 Smithtown 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.
