“Once again picked up Ollie healthy and happy. Very grateful that Denise is reliable and available! Ollie was recovering from some dental work and Denise was able to accommodate some more challenging feeding and medicine needs. Thank you!!”
“Delmy and her daughter were great! They sent photos and videos constantly. Her house was clean and she even let me come and meet her before I even booked. It was very comforting knowing she wanted me to feel comfortable leaving my Remi with her. Thank you so much!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Brenda watching Beaux! She was incredibly communicative and sent daily updates and videos/photos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell how knowledgeable and experienced she is with dogs, and most importantly, how much genuine love and attention she gives them. Beaux was so happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. She even kindly kept him an additional night for us because our travel plan changed and we appreciated that so much. We would absolutely trust her with Beaux again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and flexible sitter!”
“John was an amazing sitter for Benji. He was flexible and communicative. He took great care of my boy and Benji loved the company of John’s dog as well. Would definitely book with him again in the future!”

“We went to meet Jodie, and her dog, Charlie, a few days before our trip. Bowie instantly felt at home and was entirely happy playing with Charlie. While we were away, Jodie sent daily pictures of our happy puppy and kept us informed of his antics! He had so much fun and can't wait to go back when we go on vacation again! Thank you Jodie!”
“We left our two dogs for the first time with Dan for two nights last weekend and everything went pretty good. Dan and his wife Denise treat the dogs like their own. Dogs are not kept in cages and have a huge beautiful backyard to play in. Dan & Denise are very professional and organized and clearly love dogs. We got updates and photos from them throughout the weekend, which really put our minds at ease. Would feel comfortable leaving our dogs with them again.”
“Diana and her family were amazing with our Sophie. She kept us informed on a regular basis as to how our pup was doing in addition to providing us with several awesome photos. We would highly recommend her to friends and family and look forward to using her services in the future.”

Trinity provided plenty of updates and pictures of Birdie during her stay. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!!!”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Layla. We were a little nervous leaving her, since its her first time with you after so long but seeing how happy, calm and well-adjusted she was with you had put our hearts completely at ease. It takes a truly special person to make a dog feel at home away frrom home, and you have done that so beautifully. Thank you for the love, patience, and all the time to time updates. We are so grateful we found you. With Love, Effie & fly”
“Jamie did amazing while I was away, I was so right to trust her, she sent me picture anytime I asked. It was my first time leaving my puppy with a doggy sitter and I made an excellent choice choosing Jamie! I will be back most definitely.”
“Vanessa and her family were the best care givers for our golden ! I was updated daily with photos and videos. He didn’t have any problems eating and drinking which means he was very comfy and happy in the home. The children played with him. He came home very happy, it actually took a little pushing of the tush to get him out the door because he loved it there so much. You would not be disappointed if you chose this family to watch your pet!”

Jodie was a godsend! She took excellent care of Lexi while I was very annoying with my time of arrival and pickup. She couldn't have been more accommodating and I really appreciate her! She has a beautiful home and I'm sure my dog felt like she was on vacation. I wouldn't hesitate to have Jodie watch your dog, she is an angel!
My family and I were so lucky to have found Trinity. Our two dogs and cat stayed with her family for a week. From the meet & greet and drop off to the frequent updates with photos and lovely pick up, you could tell that our furry family members enjoyed their time with Trinity and her family who I know cared for our pets like they do their own. ❤️
What a wonderful family! My fur babies had a great time, judging by the pics! They made themselves right at home, and were treated like part of the family, which was very important to me. They were played with in the yard, and snuggled in the family room with everyone. 5+ stars, and I will DEFINITELY use them, again ❤️
John was an amazing sitter for our dog Lucy! From the start, he was kind, affectionate, and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with her, treating her as if she were his own. Lucy also enjoyed playing with his sweet dog, Dallas! Johns communication was outstanding—he sent thoughtful updates and photos and always responded quickly, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Lucy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We highly recommend John and will absolutely be booking with him again!
My Aussie needed some extra TLC having recovered from surgery and she gave him exactly the care that he needed. It's clear she genuinely loves the animals she cares for. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for put and total peace of mind. I'd trust her and recommend her without hesitation to anyone in need of a sitter who goes above and beyond. Thank you Jill!
Natalia went above and beyond, and I could not ask for a more caring and generous home to place my dog in while I was away. She sent near-daily updates with photos and videos and embraced every one of my loud but sweet corgi's quirks with care. Natalia, her dog and her household took care of my dog Athena and loved her truly as if she were their own. I think Athena might have even had a better vacation than me with all the snuggles, toys and fun she had! I cannot recommend or thank Natalia enough for the experiences and care she gave my dog.
Jamie is absolutely amazing!! She was an excellent care taker for our dog.. making sure to keep his meds on schedule... getting him to eat on a schedule when he normally doesnt (he's a grazer!) and allowing him priority position with her on the couch during the few moments of rest they both had. I got a regular stream of photos and check ins about my dog and never had a doubt he was in great hands. The only doubt I had was whether my dog was going to want to come home. She is so great with dogs and I know for sure we will be using her again in the future. Thank you for everything Jamie!!
My fur baby was well taken care of. I cant thank Daniel enough for the awesome service that has been provided. It was top notch! Very professional and kept me updated every day about my fur baby. I felt comfortable and will definitely use his services again. Thank you 😊
Jillian was absolutely wonderful with our 7-month-old puppy! This was his first time being watched by someone outside our family, and she made the experience so easy and reassuring. She kept him active, happy, and well cared for, and communicated with us daily with pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. It was clear our pup was in great hands. We will definitely be asking Jillian to watch him again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dogsitter!
We left our pup with Debra for his first boarding experience, and I could not be more relieved. I was super anxious, especially since he was dealing with an ear infection, and we were in town for a wedding with no other option. Debra immediately put my mind at ease. She and her family were so kind and kept me in the loop with updates and photos. It was clear she understood his special needs and made sure he was comfy and safe the whole time. I loved getting the regular updates—felt like he was in great hands. By the time we got home, he seemed happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, warm, and communicative person to care for your dog, Debra is awesome. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in West Islip on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 11,595 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across West Islip. 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 West Islip 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 West Islip 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 West Islip 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 West Islip.
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 West Islip 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.
