About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was a kid. I’ve trained 3 dogs and am currently working on training the puppy I currently own. I am also able to take care of senior animals based on their individual needs. I work and live on campus at Stevens Institute of Technology, and my job is extremely flexible to where I can take care of my animals at any time of the day. So making sure animals are taken care of is not a problem. I live in an apartment so I walk my dogs through the city of Hoboken and am able to take them to any dog parks in the area. I am also able to crate small dogs if necessary.
“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.”
“Cyndi and her sister Sonnie were terrific dog sitters. This was the first time away from home for my dog Lenny. They looked after him extremely well, gave me frequent updates (texts and photos) and made me feel very comfortable that my dog was in great hands. I highly recommend, and I will use them again!!”
About: I offer doggy day care in a safe, loving home with a large fenced-in yard for plenty of supervised play and exercise. I have experience caring for shy dogs, puppies, and senior dogs, so I understand that every pup has different needs, energy levels, and comfort zones. My two friendly dogs help create a welcoming, social environment for dogs who enjoy companionship. I focus on making each dog feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while providing owners with peace of mind through dependable care and updates Pet care is a natural part of my routine. I work full time during the week, so I make sure pets get loving care, exercise, and attention before and after work. Since I have weekends off, I’m able to provide lots of extra time, play, and personalized care then. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and at home. Pets receive plenty of attention, supervised playtime, potty breaks, exercise, and lots of affection. I also have a large fenced-in yard for outdoor play and two friendly dogs for social interaction if your pet enjoys companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and keeping their space clean and comfortable. I understand every pet is different, so I always adjust my care based on their personality, energy level, and needs. My goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while giving owners peace of mind through dependable care and updates
“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!”
About: For the comfort and safety of every pup, I only host one family’s dog at a time. This allows me to give your dog my full attention and maintain a calm, low stress environment. My care goes beyond the basics. it’s rooted in genuine love and experience. My journey caring for Kayne, our special needs dog, taught me how to handle medical routines, provide comfort, and stay attentive to every detail. That experience shaped my approach to every pet I welcome. I understand that each animal deserves patience, respect, and love. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs a little extra care, they’ll always be treated like family in our home. We’re CPR and First Aid certified, giving you extra peace of mind while your pup is in our care. Pet care is woven into my daily life and something I genuinely love. As a stay at home mom, I’m home full time to give every furry friend constant love and attention. Our days revolve around walks, playtime, and snuggles. Caring for our late dog, Kayne, who developed a spinal injury and heart condition, taught me that true care takes patience, compassion, and adaptability qualities I bring to every pet I meet. In our home, every animal is treated like family. I provide a clean, safe, and active space with multiple walks, a fenced yard for play, and individualized routines. Through my experience caring for Kayne, who required special medical attention, I learned how to adapt to any level of care whether it’s energetic puppies or older companions needing extra comfort. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands that treat them as one of our own.
“Jinay is absolutely amazing! She runs a family business that’s truly a home away from home for pets. Jinay and her beautiful family are kind and they really provide a safe, loving space. She’s very understanding and genuinely enjoys Rawyce’s energy and personality just as much as I do. Her communication and updates are consistent, timely, and professional, and she’s always attentive to his needs. She exercises him so well; he’s easygoing but very high energy, and that was never a problem for her. Every time I’d get an update, he looked chunkier, happier, and more at ease than I could have imagined, especially for an anxious puppy. Jinay’s home is truly a retreat for your pet. They couldn’t be safer or happier anywhere else. 10000/10, I’d recommend and support Jinay in all her endeavors!”
“Robin took great care of our dog. She sent updates throughout the day and when we picked him up, I could tell he was very relaxed and happy and enjoyed his time with her and her family. We will definitely use her again for our dog!”
“Alejandro & his fiancée were wonderful with my Cody. They gave him plenty of attention & love. I could tell he was very happy staying with them & enjoyed playing with their dog. Sent plenty of pictures & videos. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Toni and family watched our 1 yr old Staffy, Rocky while we went away on vacay for about 5 days. We got regular pics and updates on how he was doing which helped with peace of mind. Rocky was on a special diet and meds due to tummy issues a couple of weeks prior and Toni was very accommodating. She also kept Rocky separate from her dogs due to him not being used to having to share space with other pups which I appreciated. Rocky seems to have been well taken care of and we would definitely use Toni's services in the future if need be.”
“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.”
“Marybeth was so sweet and you can really tell she wants to do everything in her power to make your dog feel at home/safe/and comfortable. Will use her again when traveling. Thankful for her!”
“Amazing family home, Diana and Mike are perfect sitters and the peace of mind they provided with the constant pics and updates truly made my trip that much better. Highly recommend!”
About: I've grown up with dogs all my life. My Eagle Scout project was to help create storage and kits for a dog rescue agency and since then I've helped foster 5 dogs and doggysat for numerous friends and family. I give dogs my time and attention and try to pay attention to their preferences and habits. I am a college student so I have flexibility to care for animals during summer and winter breaks. I love being able to chill on the couch next to dogs so they feel cared for and loved. I have a fenced yard and two very sweet dogs who have been mentors to our foster dogs. We have toybaskets everywhere and a regular routine for feeding and care.
“This was our first time leaving our dog to any sitters house. We were nervous how our dog will react but Daniel made him feel at home. If we messaged him to see how our dog was doing, he would answer right away with pictures. Our dog was able to run and play all day. We will definitely be using Daniel’s boarding service again.”
“There are not enough good words to say about Kathryn!!! My dog Brody was in the absolute best of care. From the moment I dropped him off until the moment I picked him up! She was sure to send a lot of pictures and videos. I can tell she truly has a love for animals. She made sure Brody felt right at home!!! Not only would I be using her again for my dog- I would HIGHLY recommend her services. She clearly has a lot of experience, knowledge, and love for animals!! I am so happy to have found her that I can leave my dog and have not a worry in the world - because he was in the best of hands with her. So thankful to have found the best dog sitter around!!!”
“Our Frenchies, AnaLys and Armand enjoyed their initial boarding experience with Cassandra. They were well cared for and loved in a safe home. We received pictures and videos during their stay. They have an upcoming boarding experience with Cassandra.”

Thanks to Patrick and Karyn for taking great care of Caspar. He was spoiled with long walks near the water, pup cups and doggie ice cream. What a treat. I am so happy to have found these wonderful sitters so close to home and will definitely be using them again. They are DOG PEOPLE through and through...I think Caspar may not have wanted to leave.
I left my dog with Paul for four nights and he was fantastic! He lives in a quiet neighborhood, very peaceful with a great yard. I got plenty of updates and photos of my girl while I was away. She was clearly comfortable and at ease at his house, her tail was wagging from the moment I dropped her off until I picked her back up! He and his wife are very capable, clearly love animals, and take whatever precautions necessary to keep your pet safe and comfortable. Next time I go away I will be calling Paul back up for her to stay again! Absolutely recommend, your pet will be in great hands.

There are 1,956 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Stony Brook. About 92% of Stony Brook 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.

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.
