“Freedom was a huge help when we had to book at the last minute due to a family emergency. They were very nice to Cleo and accommodated her food needs and energy level. They also made a very cute portrait of Cleo and gifted her a bandana, which she is still wearing and loving. I highly recommend Freedom to others looking for a sitter.”
“Laurie and Eric were very kind and respectful. They were very understanding of Bliss’s high energy due to being a puppy and they treated her well on her first stay. I felt comfortable leaving her with them and they were nice enough to send me a few pics and videos of our dogs playing together. Would definitely use Laurie and Eric again in the future.”
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!
“We had a wonderful experience boarding Chloe with John and his wife. They are lovely people, their home is immaculate, and it is obvious they love dogs and enjoy caring for them. Their own dog is very well behaved and got along well with ours. We highly recommend John and would certainly board Chloe with him again in the future.”
“Catherine was so sweet with my dog. She kept up with her energy and gave her lots of swims/walks on the beach. There was such a calm energy in the house. Daisy felt right at home 🩷”
“Christine watched our 1.5 year old Cockapoo for 5 days. She sent pics and updated us throughout that stay. She is caring and a true dog lover! We have had some not so good experiences in the past and we're so glad to have found Christine. Thank you again!”
“Alev is wonderful! Susie is so comfortable in her home and very loved. Alev keeps us updated with daily photos and even treated her to a “pup cup” at Starbucks! Alev is a kind, soft spoken woman who makes us feel so very comfortable when traveling. Thanks Alev! 👍😘”

“Karishma was amazing!!! She treated my dog like her own. You must be ok with your pet having a vegetarian diet during their stay. She prepared him home cooked healthy meals and offered me healthy alternatives to dog food moving forward. She stayed in communication with updates and pictures of my dog.... happy and being treated like one of the family. She is definitely a animal lover and highly recommended.”
About: As a longtime dog lover and devoted dog mom to Duke, my beagle–English setter mix, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pet. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and giving dogs plenty of affection. I’ll care for your dog with the same attention and kindness I give my own. My schedule is flexible, especially during weekday school hours. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, with some evening and weekend availability when arranged in advance. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and household routines. I prioritize safety, supervision, and communication, and I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while your pet is in my care.
“Our dog had a wonderful stay with Jennifer. He was well cared for and happy during his time at her house. I highly recommend Jennifer for any boarding and will be using her services again.”
“I could not have found a better family to care for our boy diesel while we were away. They loved him like their own, sent pictures and updates. Such a wonderful family. Would 100000% recommend them and use them again.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets my whole life—everything from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m the go-to sitter for friends and family because they know I treat every pet like my own. I’m all about keeping routines consistent, sending cute updates, and making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you’re away. I’m about to start my journey as a pediatric resident, so while my schedule can be a bit hectic at times, I’m still passionate about making time for pet care. I’ll always do my best to be flexible and work around your pet’s needs—whether that means early morning walks, evening check-ins, or weekend snuggles. Communication is super important to me, so I’ll always be upfront about my availability and make sure your pet gets the consistent, loving care they deserve. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I stick to their usual routines to keep things calm and familiar. I keep a close eye on everything—no off-leash walks, secure spaces, and lots of supervision during playtime. I also love sharing updates (with plenty of cute pics!) so you always know how your furry friend is doing. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved every step of the way.
“Caroline was amazing with our pup! Not only was she able to fit us in last minute when we were in a pinch, but she made my pup feel so at home in her home while we were out of town. Not having to worry about your pup while you’re out of town because you know they are being cared for and loved by someone makes it so much easier to go away.”
“I will 100% be using Rutba again. She sent me photo updates of my dog each day and kept me updated as much as needed. I have never used Rover or an overnight sitter besides an actual boarder and I don't see myself going back. Rutba was amazing! Thank you for taking such amazing care of my baby!”
“Bentley had a great time ! Marina and Denis made the process simple and easy . I could not have been any happier with the stay . Bentley will surely be back !”
“Alissa is amazing! She’s always reliable, accommodating, and so easy to work with!!!! We’ve used her many times and keep coming back because she’s truly the best. We always feel comfortable knowing our pet is in great hands with her. HIGHLY recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Smithtown
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 :)
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 Pet Boarding in Smithtown is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $90 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 2,906 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Smithtown. About 90% of Smithtown 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
