“Barney had a good day with Jodie and played with her other dogs. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day and was given a goody bag when he left. Would highly recommend Jodie ..”
“Brenda was so amazing with our Rocky! As a new dog mom I was so nervous about leaving him with someone but Brenda put me soo much at ease! So many pictures and videos updates really made me so comfortable. I will highly recommend Brenda! Your pup will be completely taken care of.”
“We just got our puppy Zoey last week and because we work full time we wanted to put her in day care so she can have fun and get her puppy energy out. She loves going to Michelle’s! Michelle is great with her and sends pictures of her throughout the day. Definitely a great person to trust with your pet when you need help watching them!”
“Jillian took a last minute request for us and was extremely nice. She was kind, provided updates when requested, and also was extremely flexible with our time. But a note, the bio does say non-smoking household and our dog did come home smelling like cigarette smoke, but other than that the experience was great.”
“This was my fiancé's and I first time traveling since we got our puppy, Nilla, and we were super anxious about it. After checking out other options we decided to give rover a try and found Daniel. From the moment we met Daniel and Denise we felt a lot better, it was immediately clear that they love dogs and they love what they do, and they even gave us traveling advice! Dan is very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs and their behavior, I liked that because I knew that our pup would be in good hands. In order to get Nilla used to the place we decided do one day of doggy day care with them before her 7 day stay there and I am so glad we did, Denise sent me updates throughout the day and it was fun to see how happy Nilla was playing with other dogs, that made me feel 10x better about her 7 day stay there and I knew that she would be happy and most importantly safe. They day we dropped her off she immediately recognized the house, jumped out of the car and ran straight to Daniel, she didn't even look back when I said goodbye to her! During our vacation they sent us daily updates along with pictures and videos putting us at such ease knowing our pup was having fun and in good hands. Thanks to them we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pup! If you're looking for someone who will treat your fur baby as their own then your search ends here! I highly recommend Dan, this is coming from someone who cried when we booked the tickets to Amsterdam at the thought of leaving our pup with someone else.”
“Pam was a great camp (dog) leader for our 2 pups! She was excellent in the pre-petting sitting communication! 5 Star in getting us prepared and understanding our needs. Highly recommend her and our dogs were well cared for!”
“I needed Lisa last minute for a couple of hours & she was quick to reply with a yes which really helped me so much! My pup was so comfortable this time he didn’t even look back! He ran right in & made himself at home LOL”
About: Hey im matt, and Ive lived with animals since i could remember always having a house full of 4 cats and 4 dogs at once! I know the behavior and ins and outs of any dog or cat so i can quickly be able to adapt to their emotions and behavior to make them feel safer and happier. Your furbabies will be treated to the highest standard as i do my own animals :) i have left previous jobs due to the lack of care of certain animals and environment conditions they were in due to the lack of control i had of the situation, i even have saved 15+ lost dogs and returned them home and saved them from car accidents during my daily drives working my delivery job. i would literally stop on a dime and ditch my vehicle and stop mid delivery just to go save multiple dogs lost and in danger so hopefully that gives you an idea of the type of care i would take for your own. I have a flexible part time job where i make my schedule so anytime is good for me usually to where i can pop in with no rush or stress and take care what you need done :) Follow and listen to all instructions word for word starting from how to enter the home to how to greet your pet to how to leave and say bye to ur pet if a certain manner is needed. i can adapt to any environment or condition to make sure your pet is safe and sound under your instructions :)
About: What I think truly sets me apart is my tailored approach to each dog's needs, ranging from feeding medicine, to early walks or even just lovey extra attention, I’m always here for it. I like combining enthusiastic play with disciplined training techniques. Whether your furry friend is a playful pup needing playbite training and endless games of fetch, or a cherished senior who thrives on gentle care, medication reminders, and comforting companionship, I really try to provide a safe, loving, and happy environment. My experience includes puppy socialization and specialized senior dog care, ensuring every dog in my charge receives the individual attention and expert care they deserve, making their time with me feel just like your home. At the moment now, I am unemployed so that gives me more then enough time (even every day) to help take care of your pup when you need it! With every pet is different, I like to converse with the owner about the character of the dog and habits as well as any other important health information that I should keep in mind before sitting, and if it is in your home, I’m very well mannered and have respect for not just the home but pups safety too
“We had such an amazing experience with Veronique! She took excellent care of our golden retriever Kennedy. We were provided frequent updates with photos and video and the communication was so easy. Veronique was very quick in getting back to us which was great. Kennedy had such a fun time and we would love to have Kennedy return! Highly recommend!”
“Our second time using Eliana and she was amazing. Great communication, loved my dog as her own, and sent many pictures. Played with my dog, snuggled him, and walked him. Highly highly recommend!”
“Karishma and her family made Rhodey feel right at home. He was immediately comfortable and looked so relaxed when we got back. Karishma is a great communicator and kept us at ease during his stay.”
About: I have a deep passion for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for pets of various breeds and sizes. Growing up around pets has given me a strong understanding of canine behavior, body language, and specific care needs. Whether it is managing high-energy pups, maintaining strict feeding routines, or just providing endless belly rubs, I treat every furry guest like a member of my own family. I am highly attentive and dedicated to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you are away. I work from home full-time, which gives me incredible flexibility and allows me to provide around-the-clock supervision and companionship for your pet. Your dog will never feel lonely, as I am around throughout the day to offer frequent potty breaks, backyard playtime, and regular walks. My flexible remote work schedule ensures that I can easily adapt to your pet's established routine, meaning their feeding, medicine, and nap times will remain perfectly on track. Safety is my absolute top priority. My home provides a secure, pet-friendly environment where your dog can relax comfortably. I am extremely proactive about monitoring behavior and ensuring all areas are completely pet-proofed. When welcoming guest pets, I am very careful about proper introductions to ensure everyone coexists happily and safely. I strictly follow all owner instructions regarding specific house rules, crate training preferences, and safety boundaries, ensuring you have total peace of mind and receive plenty of photo updates.
“Cody is an incredible dog walker & sitter, reliable, kind, and truly caring. My dog absolutely loves spending time with him, and it’s easy to see how much Cody loves what he does. He’s patient, attentive, and always shows up with a smile. I completely trust Cody with my dog, and I couldn’t ask for a better person to care for my pup when I’m not around. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up in a house full of pets and have volunteered at various pet rescues. Now, 51 years later, through every chapter of my life, milestones, joys, and losses, there has always been a pet by my side. I can’t imagine a home without the sound of paws, the comfort of companionship, or the simple, grounding presence of an animal. I work full time from home and am happy to be flexible to any schedule. This works particularly well for pets that are used to a routine. My pets include a Labrador Retriever named "Jax" who is 6 years old. Jax likes to run about in our fenced yard. I also have 3 cats named "Beau", "Shadow" and "Oliver" who remain indoor. All of my babies are rescues.
About: I have 5 plus years of experience taking care of puppies and adult dogs! I love dogs so much, I foster puppies in need whenever I am able to. I treat your pets as if they were my own! I am fortunate enough to be able to work from home, so am able to be home with your pets most of the day ! I provide a safe, loving home where pets can feel comfortable and happy. I have a secure 6 foot fenced yard for plenty of outdoor time, along with daily walks and lots of play to keep them active. I only board for one family at a time so your pet would get plenty of attention, affection, and cuddles so they feel right at home while you're away!

Brenda was so amazing with our Rocky! As a new dog mom I was so nervous about leaving him with someone but Brenda put me soo much at ease! So many pictures and videos updates really made me so comfortable. I will highly recommend Brenda! Your pup will be completely taken care of.
I had such a wonderful experience with Dan and Denise! The setting is absolutely beautiful: a private home with a huge, well maintained backyard and plenty of space for the dogs to safely run and play. You can tell how much care and attention goes into creating a comfortable and safe environment for everyone. Dan and Denise are fantastic: kind, attentive, and clearly passionate about dogs. I truly appreciated receiving updates throughout the day, including photo and videos, which gave me much peace of mind seeing my pups were happy! I highly recommend it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jillian took a last minute request for us and was extremely nice. She was kind, provided updates when requested, and also was extremely flexible with our time. But a note, the bio does say non-smoking household and our dog did come home smelling like cigarette smoke, but other than that the experience was great.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in West Islip on Rover is $41.07 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your West Islip commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 9,473 sitters in West Islip, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
