“Katie and her family were wonderful sitters, giving updates and pictures daily as well as quick responses when messaged. They gave our dog lots of attention and cuddles, even bringing her with to their family Christmas! They also helped fill her stocking with toys and goodies, which our dog is still happily playing with. I would recommend Katie to anyone!”
“I can't say enough good things about our experience! Christle watched our dog for the last 10 days and took such amazing care of him. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and treated him like her own! She kept us updated every day with photos and updates on how he was doing. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands the entire time. He was so happy there he didn't even want to come home! I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog. Definitely our new dog sitter!”
“Laura was so wonderful! She made our family and our pup so comfortable and sent pictures and updates throughout our trip. We were so happy knowing that our dog got to be part of Laura’s family while we were away. We’d highly recommend Laura!”
“Rebecca was very professional, reliable, and responsive. I got multiple pictures and video updates each day during my pups stay which helped me feel at ease. He was always around other pups and her family, unlike most kennel where they’re left alone all night. Perfect for pups with separation anxiety! You just want to know your dog is being well taken care of and happy when you’re away, and that is just how our experience was with Rebecca. Would definitely recommend, so glad we found her!!”
“Our dog can be a little skittish with new people, but she warmed right up to Alan and Luis! On her first day, they sent us great pictures of her running and playing. It was clear that she was already settled in and having so much fun. We have to plan another trip soon, so our pup can have another vacation with Alan and Luis!”
“Chance loved his visit with Pat and Susan! I know he is in good hands, gets attention and lots of fresh air! Thank you so much for the pick up/drop off service to my elderly mom's house!”
“I highly recommended Sherry, she’s an angel! She had our Finn finn for 6 days and it was our first time to get a dog sitter. We are a bit uneasy at first coz our dog still needs training. (Not friendly with other humans and dogs he just met) also there’s the barking situation. She’s an angel bcos she was able to gain our dog’s trust at a very short period of time and our dog didn’t give any problem at all. A Complete turnaround to what we were expecting. (Big Sigh of relief ?) We enjoyed our vacation and didn’t even worried about our dog bcos she never fails to update us. Highly recommended and we’ll definitely book her again. P.S we came back to get his crate and our dog was sooo happy to see her and he let her pet him, no sweat. We never saw our dog that happy whenever we go to our sis in law’s house and every time they tried to pet him, he will dodge. ? It’s just amazing experience overall.”
“Rosmery was wonderful with our fur baby! I received many pictures and videos of Lana. Her and her family made feel our pup like home! Definitely, we will bring Lana back.”
About: With 24 years of hands-on dog care experience, caring for your furry family members is truly my passion! I provide loving, attentive, and dependable care tailored to each dog's individual needs and personality. From daily walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles to feedings and companionship, I make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I also have experience training puppies, including potty training and teaching basic commands, helping them build a great foundation. For senior dogs, I offer gentle, patient, and compassionate care, including administering medications in both pill and liquid form for receptive dogs. What sets me apart is my 24 years of experience caring for dogs through every stage of life. Whether your pup is a playful puppy, an energetic adult, or a sweet senior needing extra attention, I treat every dog as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and lots of love! I'm available for doggie day care or boarding in my home on weekdays, weekends, overnight or for longer bookings. I have plenty of time to spend with your special pup. I have a great fenced in yard and 1 small 9 year old maltese dog to keep your pup company. I can easily crate your dog or provide a gated area if needed.
“We appreciated Amira so much for taking care of our two rabble-rousers. She provided a comforting presence and I could see they felt completely at home, which isn’t an easy task. In addition, we reached out midway through their stay and she responded immediately- this gave us peace of mind as well. Thank you!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for about 6 years and have encountered all types, from the couch potatoes to the ones who want to play nonstop! I am home full time so I am available any day and any time for drop off and pick up. Being home full time also means I will be available for your pet at anytime they need me throughout there stay at my home. I have a sturdy 100 ft dog runner that has held very large dogs. However,if your dog does better on a regular leash just let me know and I can leash for bathroom breaks instead. While at my home your pet is my only priority and I am happy to suit any needs they have.
“Madison was amazing with my pup! She kept in contact with me sending pictures and letting me know how Oakley was doing! Very very happy with my first experience with Rover and Madison!! ❤️”
“Our much loved girl was very well care for. Angela sent many pictures and updates which we loved while away. Our girl is a bit of a picky eater and Angeal went above and beyond to accommodate. We would book again.”
“Thank you so much for watching and taking a good care of Ozzy while we were away. Maria is great and Ozzy enjoyed his stay with her. We will bring back Ozzy to you on our next vacation.”
“I think Biscuit loved staying with her, he tried to pull me back into her apt. when I picked him up. She sent plenty photos showing her dogs snuggling up with Biscuit like they were always best friends forever. Would book again!”
“Rum had a great first stay with Cruz! He came home happy and tired, and we really appreciated the notes and photos from Cruz while we were away. Looking forward to Rum having another stay with her soon.”
“Erica, Thomas, and their family were amazing to my sweet Kona! She’s a young GSP so she’s very active and high energy. She’s a great dog but not everyone can handle her energy level. They were great and immediately knew what to do with exercising and treating her like family. It helps that they have a big front lawn and had other dogs staying with them too! Kona made great friends judging from the pics. But most importantly, they went out of their way to be her dog handler for us on our wedding day. They made our special day even more magical by letting Kona participate in the ceremony as our dog of honor. She was tired for 2 full days after we picked her up! That’s a long time for a GSP. So grateful!”

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Andover can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
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 Andover 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 Andover.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Andover. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Andover 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 CT 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
