Dog Boarding in Stony Brook

“John did a great job with our big NewfyPoo. He really made him feel at home and comfortable from the minute we dropped him off. He provided updates and let us know how our boy was doing. I have no reservations about recommending John and I will definitely be using him in the future!”

“Michael was fantastic. This was my first time using a dog sitter in the area after just moving here. He scheduled a meet and greet with my dog and his pup scrappy who is a delight. He sent me frequent updates and kept me at ease throughout the stay. I could tell my dog was well cared for when I picked her up. Looking forward using his services.”

“Our dog Charlie was in great hands! We did a meet and greet ahead of time so we knew that everyone was comfortable. We got updates and pictures during his stay. Charles is responsible, friendly and great with dogs! We will be using him again.”

“First time boarding our dog. Melissa and her husband are wonderful. We got at least 3 photos a day of our dog having the best time of his life! Melissa was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had. When we picked our dog up after a week stay he was exhausted from all the playtime. Will definitely be using Melissa for any future needs.”

“Donna took great care of our 5 month old puppy, Petey while we were in Italy for 12 days. Her apparent knowledge and love of dogs gave us the confidence to leave our baby and enjoy our vacation. I highly recommend Donna!”

“Marybeth & Dwight kept us up to date with what was going on with our pooch Coffee throughout our trip with texts and pictures. They also offered Facetime in case we wanted to see how he was doing. We picked him up happy and tired from all the play time.”

“Stephanie and Eugene took amazing care of our Walty. They showered him with love, walks, yard playtime, and friendship. We especially loved how they provided us with daily photo updates/check-in’s. We’re extremely pleased and we highly recommend them!”

“Carol is wonderful. My dog Bonnie had a great stay and I got lots of updates and photos. Highly recommend”

“This was Chance’s second time stay with Gabby and I could tell he felt like he was at home! From the second we walked into her home on the night I dropped him off he was so happy. And again, Gabby sent me daily updates to let me know how everything was going!”

“So grateful to have found Vanessa and her family to look after our beagle Max for the weekend. They took care of him as if he were one more of their family, and Max had a great time playing with their dog Luna. Definitely recommend!!”

“Our dog Penny Lane had a great time..Sue and John were great .and really seemed to enjoy the experience..We will definitely use them again..hopefully they will be available..Thanks”

“Maria was amazing! Our pup was so happy there, and we were happy to get the pictures and videos of our girl playing and snuggling. Maria's home is beautiful, and she has amenities just for her furry guests that make the stay extra special. We ended up having some travel complications, and Maria put us at ease and let us know our Rommie would be well taken care of, making the entire ordeal far less stressful.”

“Kim is the best person with animals. She looks after your pet like they are her own. She has went to school to work with animals and it really shows. I would definitely recommend her to watch your pet!”

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my comprehensive approach to pet care, emphasizing not just the physical but also the emotional well-being of the animals under my care. With a background in animal behavior, I specialize in training puppies, using positive reinforcement techniques to establish good habits early on. For senior dogs, I provide gentle care tailored to their unique needs, ensuring they remain comfortable and engaged despite any age-related challenges. Additionally, I am skilled in administering medication and first aid, for I am an EMT. This makes me well-prepared to handle a wide range of health needs. My commitment to regular, open communication with pet owners means you'll always stay updated on your pet's adventures and well-being. Whether it's a high-energy puppy or a senior dog, I strive to create a nurturing environment that feels like a second home to every pet. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, reflecting my genuine passion for animals and their well-being. Each morning starts with a dedicated time for outdoor walks or playtime, ensuring my dog under my care get the exercise and stimulation they need to start their day happily. Throughout the day, I balance my own work and responsibilities with regular check-ins, play sessions, and cuddle times, maintaining a comforting presence for my pet. Weekly, I allocate specific days for longer adventures or visits to dog parks, where my dog can socialize and enjoy a change of scenery, enhancing their physical and mental health. For my dog with specific training routines or medical needs, I schedule consistent times for these activities to ensure they receive consistent care and attention. Caring for pets, whether in my home or a client's, revolves around ensuring safety, comfort, and a lot of love. Here's how I approach both scenarios: In My Home I ensure my home is pet-proofed, with no small objects they can choke on, secure trash cans, and safe, comfortable resting areas.I maintain a consistent schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime, aligning as closely as possible with their usual routine to minimize stress. Each pet receives individual attention, from belly rubs to personalized play sessions, ensuring they feel at home. If compatible, I carefully introduce pets to my resident animals or other pets under my care, supervising interactions to foster positive social experiences. Regular grooming sessions are part of the care, along with prompt clean-up of any accidents to maintain a hygienic environment. In the Client's Home Keeping pets in their familiar environment reduces stress. I follow their usual routine for meals, walks, and bedtime.I ensure the home is secure at each visit, checking locks and monitoring any potential hazards. I engage pets with their favorite toys and activities, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Regular updates, including photos and messages, keep pet owners informed and reassured about their pet's well-being. For pets with specific dietary or medical requirements, I meticulously follow provided instructions to administer medications or prepare meals.

“Gina and her Husband helped me out in a last minute scheduling. They took great care of my cats and kept me up to date on everything through this process. Would absolutely go to again.”

“Alev was incredible! Lovely home and family! She sincerely cared about my pup while he stayed with her for a few nights. Gave him plenty of walks and spent the entire time he was there with him! Loved getting photos and videos through out his stay. Don't think twice, this is the person you can trust with your fur baby. Will absolutely be using her services again.”

About: In addition to my own family dog growing up, I've taken care of my own two dogs for five years! Living in Port Jefferson has only increased my appreciation for neighborhood pups - it is an instant mood boost to see other dogs out and about. After an incredible year of receiving care from Rover ourselves, we are opening our home to take the best weekend care of your pup while you are away! I am an extremely organized person, ready for the details to best take care of your furball. -(Danielle, with help from partner Zach) On weekends, my partner and I are home all day to provide the best care and exercise for your pup! We walk our own dogs every 2-3 hours, and can adjust to the schedule that your pup needs for exercise and feeding. Additional availability during the week especially over winter break! With two friendly dogs of our own, we NEVER leave the dogs unattended. One or both of us will be present at all times. Dogs are happily allowed on furniture, but there are plenty of soft dog beds available for snoozing as well.

“AMAZING CARE. Extremely trustworthy and very attentive!! My little baby was extremely cared for and always updated me and sent me pictures without asking!!!”

“We cannot speak highly enough of Lauren and the care she gave to Monty throughout his stay with her!! We had to find a dogsitter last minute, and we are so happy Lauren was available! We got updates and photos every day, and it made for a more restful/stress-free trip. Would definitely recommend her to anyone who lives in the area, and would definitely have Monty stay with her again!”

“This was our first time leaving our girl for an extended length of time and I was beyond nervous, but Toni was absolutely amazing! She kept me updated with texts and photos that I not only felt that my dog was in good hands, but I saw that she was having the time of her life while staying at Toni’s! I will not only be recommending her in the future but I will definitely be boarding with Toni in the future!”
