Pet Boarding West Islip

“Karishma and her family treated our Toby like family they are so loving people. She made our mini Golden doodle feel right at home and send frequent pictures and videos of him with his fellow campers. When I picked up Toby , he was happy to see me me,but I could tell he well cared for and enjoyed his stay. Karishma allows the dogs to look out the window from her couch and sleep on her bed. I highly recommend Karishma for day care or over night boarding. She is the best!!!? Thank you Karishma”

“He was great with COCO. The communication was key. The text a video a few times a day was worth it. Her own dogs were playful and well behaved with my puppy.”

“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.”

“We have used Cathy several times to watch our dog Lola while we are away. We received tons of pictures each night of how much fun our dog is having. She loves playing with Cathy’s other two dogs as well. Cathy is caring and loving toward our dog and we feel very comfortable leaving her in Cathy’s care. Cathy is easy to communicate with and even packs up all of her toys and belongings upon our arrival. We would definitely recommend Cathy for anyone who needs a safe and loving place for their pet for a day, a night or even a week!”

“Great experience with Kristen! My pup really liked her and her home. My dog is often anxious but she was very relaxed and happy when I came to pick her up after the stay! I really liked Kristen too—very nice person. Highly recommend!!”

“From the very beginning, communication with Gabby was Fantastic. A couple of weeks before our our trip we coordinated with her to bring both of our dogs to her place for a sort of meet and greet with her and her family (dogs included). Right away our dogs and her dogs hit it off, as they are very playful and loving dogs. We also hit it off with Gabby and the rest of her family as well, as found them to be very kind, responsible, caring and without a doubt dog lovers. Her house and yard located within a nice, quiet neighborhood are very well suited for dogs. This all made the drop off a few weeks later a very smooth process. During our trip, which was out of the country, we were provided with periodic updates and pictures via text messages. Knowing that our little ones were in good hands and most of all, appearing to be their usual wacky selves, made our trip out of the country a very enjoyable one. One thing we were worried about before even having met Gabby was communication. In the end, communication turned out to be A+. We would highly recommend Gabby to other families and look forward to using her again in the near future. ”

I enjoy long walks and playtime together! If you decide to board with me, I have a large fenced in backyard with shade to keep them cool. I never leave them alone they are always by my side or being watched in my care. I had a 12 year old Lab/mix senior dog that passed away in 2025 that always received a lot of attention from me and would like to do the same for your pet too.

“Judy is wonderful with our Lucy. She's a feisty girl but she seems to love it at Judy's. Lots of playtime with other pups, and snuggles, too!”

“Sarah abs her family were amazing. She kept us up to date with texts, photos and videos every day. She paid special attention to every detail about our pups and gave us some excellent tips on modifying certain behaviors. We would definitely recommend her without hesitation.”

“This was my first time leaving my 2 dogs with Donna. They seemed to be in great hands and came home happy. Will definitely use again. Thank you 😊”

“Taylor was excellent with my senior dog ! Her home was a quiet & safe space and her own gentle dog provided a nice companion for my pup during her stay. Taylor had to put drops in my pup's eyes which is not the easiest task. She was caring and comforted my pup when she realized we had left. She sent pictures to us also. Would recommend Taylor -”

“We had a wonderful experience with Lily. Willa was a bit skittish at first, but Lily worked her magic with her. She took her for walks and hikes, played outside with her, and made her a part of the family. When we picked up Willa, it was clear she loved Lily. She didn't want to leave! :-) I've already passed along Lily's name to my friends with fur children. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Willa (or any of my dogs) with Lily again. I know she'll be in great hands.”

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have cared for many dogs of different ages and personalities. As a homeowner and caregiver, I’m naturally attentive, patient, and nurturing. I provide a calm, structured, and safe environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. I’m experienced with daily routines, feeding schedules, administering basic care, and understanding dog behavior. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a relaxed setting, I adapt to their needs and treat them like family. I’m currently home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and extended stays, including weekdays and weekends. Your dog will not be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care, supervision, and companionship in a stable home environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment with consistent supervision and a structured routine. Backyard is fenced and neighborhood is a safe Cul-de-Sac. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I ensure they have a safe space to relax and feel at ease. I follow all feeding instructions, routines, and any special care needs you provide. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, whether they need extra attention, gentle care, or structured activity. I maintain a stress-free environment and monitor behavior closely to ensure your pet is happy and safe at all times.

“Jamie was a great host. She sent us pictures several times during the day and was always responsive when we asked how our baby was. We would highly recommend her and plan on using her all the time.”

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: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every dog I look after. I treat them like my own—with love, patience, and respect for their routines. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, and I’m comfortable with both puppies and senior dogs. I understand that each dog has its own personality and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe and happy in my care. Since I’m not currently a dog owner, I pour all my energy and affection into the dogs I sit for. I also have a fenced yard, which gives dogs a secure place to play and relax. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always keep pet parents updated so they can feel confident while they’re away. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make time for it on weekends and some weekday evenings. I’m usually available on weekends for boarding and daycare, and with advance notice, I can provide walks or care after 5:00 PM during the week. Since I don’t currently have a dog of my own, spending time with pets through Rover gives me the chance to enjoy their company and provide the attention they deserve. It’s something I look forward to fitting into my weekly routine, and I always plan my schedule carefully to give each dog quality care and attention. When caring for dogs in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I live in a house with a fenced yard, so dogs have a secure space to play and get fresh air. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding, walking, playtime, and rest—based on their owner’s instructions. I keep a calm, clean environment and always give plenty of love and attention. For walks and weekend daycare, I focus on making the experience fun and stress-free. I tailor walks to each dog’s energy level and needs, whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk for exercise. I also pay close attention to leash safety, weather conditions, and staying in familiar areas unless otherwise requested. Whether in my home or out and about, your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority.

“Vanessa was wonderful with our little Franklin. Her husband and daughter were also very friendly and sweet. They took great care of our baby. I would absolutely use Vanessa again when we need a dog sitter.”

Renee R.

“Emma was fantastic. This was my first experience leaving my 4 month old golden. My golden is young and full of energy, the sitter needs to be special and Emma certainly was. I highly recommend Emma and will ask her again in the future.”

“My dog, Blue, came back from his long weekend with Giovanna in a happy little mood. I can tell he really enjoyed his visit, and that means so much! Giovanna sent photos while we were away, which was reassuring. She certainly kept Blue busy with snowy walks. He's a dog who likes to be active. I could not be happier with this first booking.”
