“This was the first time I used Rover (and Melissa) The process was very easy and straight-forward. Melissa kept us informed via the Rover app- with pics and text messages every day. We felt at ease knowing my two dogs were in great hands. The most important part is my dogs came home relaxed and peaceful. In the past- when my dogs stayed at kennels, they came home unsettled. Going forward, we plan to use Melissa. I would highly recommend Melissa and Rover. I gave her a 5 star rating. Thanks!”
“Carlos is such a wonderful dog sitter! He really cares about your pet while they are with him. We are returning clients and will absolutely continue to schedule with him. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Ruby!”
“Natalia was amazing with Bentley! She took him in very last minute and was very responsive throughout the day. She sent many updates and photos, and Bentley came back so happy!! Would definitely use her in the future:)”
“Maria and her husband were amazing. Their dog penny was amazing. Also! Toby had so much fun and made a new friend. Maria also gave Toby a bath and washed all of his bedding above and beyond. I would recommend this family to watch your pet anytime. Maria. Thank you so very much for all you do”
“Jeff is a very knowledgeable and responsible dog owner and sitter. Listened to my concerns about my high energy, not fully crate trained dog, and came through with flying colors.”
“Cindy has always been very accommodating with Piero. He loves going to stay at her house and play with his friends. I’ve been using Cindy for almost a year and she has always been dependable. Cindy goes above and beyond when caring for our boy. This last trip our flight was cancelled while we were away and couldn’t get back for another six days. She immediately replied when I texted her to ask if she had availability for him and she had no problem extending his care. I am very grateful for her care of my Piero and so is he. She’s really the best!”
“John was absolutely amazing with my dog, Prince. He sent me pictures and Prince even smiled for the camera. Prince loved playing and snuggling with his dogs and he was sad to leave them because he doesn’t have any dogs to play with at home. John was very accommodating in helping me with the drop off & pick up since I’m disabled. I would use him again.”
“Korin took wonderful care of my cat, Rajah, for five days while I was away. She was attentive, kind, and clearly cared about Rajah's well-being. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip knowing she was in good hands. Korin was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure Rajah was comfortable and well cared for. I would not hesitate to trust her with my cat again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“Luna stayed with Antonia for the second time. She likes her a lot and her dog and cat. Will keep booking with Antonia when we need a caring, sweet and attentive sitter. I know Luna is in good hands when she goes to Antonia.”
“Apryl was great watching my dog while I was away. She’s friendly patient and knowledgeable and I had no worries leaving my Penny with her. Definitely recommend her services”
“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 🩷”
“Nigel took to Chris when they first met. Before the scheduled boarding Chris communicated with me to arrange the details and make sure that Nigel had whatever he needed. The hand-off went smoothly and Nigel got to run around in Chris' yard off leash and was a happy, happy doggy. Chris sent daily updates with pictures and video so I could see that Nigel was happy and having a good time. I would board my dog with Chris any time.”
“Patrycja was great! She walked Oshie frequently and sent photos daily. When I arrived, Oshie was glad to see me, but also acted like he would have gladly gone back inside her house if I had let him 😂. I highly recommend Patrycja and will use her again if needed!”
“Bear was very comfortable with Yi and his family, which, puts me at ease. I will definitely recommend Yi AND I have every intention on using him again when my family head out of town.”

About: I’m 59 years old and I’ve cared for many dog breeds since I was 10, poodle, lab, mixed breeds, golden doodle, pitbull mix. I take pride in how I take care of my dog from what I feed him, clean up after him, and keep him happy and comfortable. I believe I can offer the same attention to detail for a guest dogs needs. I am a full time programmer at the Riverhead County Clerk’s Office working 7-3 Mon-Fri, I would like to try boarding on the weekends and possibly during the week as I get more comfortable with this process I have a fenced in yard 4 foot fence, and own a 5 year old mixed breed terrier that loves to play. I’d be looking to care for friendly small to medium sized dogs that have are up to date on shots from the vet. I have a spare large crate if needed but it would be best if you have your own since your pet is used to that one. I’d like to see vet records of shots and meet before hand to make sure our pets get along

96% of sitters in Wading River can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays.

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 Wading River 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 Wading River.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Wading River 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.
