“James was fantastic! I have a relatively shy dog, but he came home super happy and clearly had a fun time with James and fam in a super compassionate, loving household. Would recommend them anytime.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my 12 year old border collie with MJ for a week. Sadie is very attached and gets very depressed when away from me. She felt at home and relaxed. I would highly recommend MJ.”
“Estelle looked after our pug Henry for a weekend, and the entire time we were able to relax and feel confident that he was happy and in good hands. Her home is beautiful and set up really nicely for the dogs, with a large clean fenced-in yard to play in, and lots of toys and beds for them to occupy themselves. Her dogs are sweet and made Henry right at home. Estelle regularly sent photos and updates to let us know how he was doing. He was always treated like part of the family and I think for him it was just a fun weekend with friends. I will absolutely be boarding Henry with Estelle again and I couldn't recommend her highly enough.”
“Morgan was super helpful when I needed a sitter on my road trip! She was so good with Molly and helped out extra since Molly wasn’t feeling the best on my trip and eating irregularly”
“Loved Jennifer! She was awesome and met me in the park to introduce Cooper to some of the other dogs she was currently watching prior to the stay. She gave regular updates and did a great job with socializing Cooper with other dogs. She is a great photographer and put together an album of the week. Loved her and wouldn’t use any other sitter!”
“Noel and his family did a fantastic job with our puppy! They are well equipped and their our boy had a blast in their yard! Noel was amazing with sending updates and pictures. I would highly recommend!”
“Andrea was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure our pup, Scooby, felt comfortable and happy during his stay. We loved receiving the regular updates with pictures and videos, it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. To top it off, she even gifted Scooby the cutest goodie bag when we picked him up! I highly recommend Andrea and will definitely trust her to watch Scooby again in the future.”
“Briana (and her dog loving family!) took great care of our 2 pugs who had never been to a pet sitter before. They are little terrors (young, hyper, still potty training) and she took it in stride and loved on them anyway. Her condo complex is beautiful and her place is very tidy and clean. She was very flexible with our drop-off/pick-up hours coming from out of town. Would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone! <3”
“Triba was great! Super responsive, gave lots of attention to my cat, and took great care of him. She was also flexible with dates. Would definitely hire her again.”
“After our regular dog sitter (a family member) fell through I reached out to Vanessa last minute. She was incredibly accommodating and agreed to take Luna! I am so happy to have found her because Luna had the best time! Vanessa sent tons of videos and photos and kept me up to date on Luna’s adventures as she took walks and played with their other pups! We don’t leave Luna with anyone but family but I’m happy that we were in a bind - otherwise Luna wouldn’t have had such a fantastic weekend! I will definitely be calling on Vanessa again! I highly recommend her - you and your fur baby won’t be disappointed!”
“Our 14 yo dog Marley had a good stay with Kaylyn. Marley has some weird old dog behavior which Kaylyn was able to manage and accommodate. He came home healthy, happy and safe. Thank you”
“My dog had a wonderful day with Manolita!! She’s so kind and caring and made us both feel comfortable! When I picked him up from his stay he was very comfortable and calm, which was a great sign! She also sent pictures and updates throughout the day, which I loved! I highly recommend her!”
“Austin was great! It was our first time and Brody had the best time. We will absolutely be using him again!! He was awesome with all the dogs and they were truly a part of his family!”
“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!”
“Tyler and his girl were a perfect find for a Rover stay. While we’re not from the area, we’re visiting for a wedding. With a fenced in yard and a few dogs of their own Hydee had the BEST play date and sleepover. She had the biggest smile at pick up and has been sleeping in the car ride home. Thank you so much we would definitely book again if in the area”
“Ricky was excellent! He took care of my 85 pound Hound/ Husky. I always am a bit concerned when leaving my dog with someone but when I need to do it again, Ricky will be the first person I contact.”
“Patti is the absolute best! She’s very attentive and careful to give Wally the best care she can. She welcomes him like one of her own pets with lots of snuggles and walks and hanging out. I’m so glad I found her and Wally loves staying with her!”
“Harley had a wonderful time with Kristin. I received multiple picture and video updates over the weekend. Harley was happy and content and played hard. Kristin has a warm pet friendly home.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Barkhamsted
Karina and Jared are the best sitters I found so far on this platform: always professional, polite, and are fantastic with my dog! They pay attention to details, very diligent, I love all the updates they send. I’m extremely happy I found them, would not use anybody else, and I have been their client for a few years already. Thanks guys, keep up the great work!
I’ve used Karine twice now with my golden retriever Thor, and am finally comfortable leaving him with someone else. It’s clear she cares about Thor and takes excellent care of him. He has a blast with her, which is evident in all the pictures she shares and his mood upon pickup. This is truly a home away from home for Thor, and he’ll be back for sure.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Barkhamsted on Rover is $66.55 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 793 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Barkhamsted. About 91% of Barkhamsted sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
