“My dog Ralph has stayed with Anne-Marie a few times now, and has always enjoyed himself. I always get great photos of him, and he never wants to leave. Would highly recommend!”
“Brittany is amazing! She takes such wonderful care of our dog 💕. She sends lots of photos and updates and gives him a little treat bag at the end of his stay. We look forward to Seamus visiting her and her family again!”
“Tara is a great care giver for my dog, a large lan. She has a a dog equipped home and a fenced in back yard. She’s cheerful, accommodating, and provided healthy snacks. She and her husband took her for walks multiple times per day. Totally trustworthy and communicative. Best Rover find ever!”
“Karina & Teresa were amazing sitters for my dog. They are kind, attentive, and clearly love what they do. They treated my dog very well and made sure he was comfortable . They also sent lots of photos and videos throughout the stay, which really gave me peace of mind! I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog sitters.”
“We’ve boarded with Nadjeska and family several times now and they’ve always been nothing but wonderful with our high energy GSD. Always with updates and photos throughout to put our minds at ease. Definitely highly recommend to all!”
“After trying 4 dog sitters, we finally found Lauren and couldn’t be happier. She takes incredibly good care of pups, she’s reliable and flexible with scheduling. Even when we have last minute bookings, she’s been available every time. He’s the only sitter that our pup looks forward to seeing. And he comes back clean, with freshly cut nails. If you need a sitter you can rely on and trust to treat your baby well, call Lauren.”
“Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.”
“Stephanie too great care of my dog Ember over the holiday weekend! I hadn’t left her with someone she didn’t know before, but she seemed very at-home with Stephanie! Stephanie also helped keep my mind at ease with plenty of pictures and updates on how each day was going!”
“My two little Morkies had a great time with Liza. They played with other dogs there and were pampered with lots of TLC. I think they wanted to stay and play when I came to pick them up. I got some cute photos from Liza, and I really appreciated that she enjoyed having them stay with her! I'm sure they will visit her again.”
“Mari was exceptional. Absolutely exceptional. Not only did she communicate all the time but she sent so many pictures and videos. I did not expect Lloyd to get on so many long walks with Mari, but he did! Lloyd was cared for so well. Thank you, Mari!”
“Jayme was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and always responded quickly to our messages. We felt so at ease knowing Finnegan was in such good hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and that he had a great time with her dogs. We highly recommend Jayme to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“Davon was amazing. I outreached very impromptu and he was available for a meet and greet with Arya. ( which went well. We reviewed the basics of her care and he made sure to get a full understanding of what is needed to make Aryas stay as comfortable as possible) drop off was nice. He has spacious living accommodations. What stood out is his willingness to work with Arya being that she is a Bully. There are a many false conceptions about this breed. With his family background working with bully’s and pitbull, and his love for animals in general, I had no concerns that Arya was in good care. During her overnight visit, he provided checks up and sent pictures for reassurance. He also introduced Arya to family and friends ( which I love ) being that she is not around other dogs or people, helping her socialize. Picking Arya up was easy. All items returned and she was happy ! I previously boarded her , and when picking her up she was distant, had scratches and limped !!! All in all, 5 stars for Devon. I recommend and will use him again. 🐾💕”
“Christopher was very accommodating and flexible. He went out of his way to pick up Cameo at a more ideal timing prior to my departure for my work trip. He sent daily updates and pictures of Cameo playing and answered any questions that I had. Cameo got lots of play time and came home happy and exhausted :)”
“Brianna is INCREDIBLY capable, and our dogs love her. One of our dogs is very elderly and on medication, and she is clearly well taken care of when she stays with Brianna. Our other dog is a high-need English Springer Spaniel that I honestly can’t imagine anyone other than Brianna managing his care. He has medical issues and anxiety, and Brianna has been able to manage both in a way that can only be described as masterful.”
“Mikayla and Justine were both amazing with our dog Lew! He can be a little nervous, and they went out of their way to keep him comfortable and happy while we were away. We also got in depth notes about his day along with pictures everyday, which was so helpful! We will definitely use them again -- great sitters!”
“Bianka took great care of our blind dog Scooby! She sent frequent updates that included many pictures. Bianka was also super patient with Scooby and kept him company when he woke up barking in the middle of the night. We are so grateful for the care she provided Scooby!”
“Mariana was absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Charmy! She cared for her for 16 days and kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Charmy clearly had a great time, she came home happy, healthy, and relaxed. Mariana was responsive and treated Charmy like part of her own family. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely reach out to her again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“We left our 11 year old dachshund/beagle mix, Jane, with Garrett while we went on a two week vacation. We had never left her for that long and we concerned how it would affect her. Once we had a meet and greet with Garrett and his dog Archie, we were knew that he would treat her with special care and she would be happy. He lives in a great area for walking and the nearby park has places for the dogs to run and make friends. Jane got more exercise than she gets at home which she loves. It took one day for Jane to cuddle up with Garrett and follow him wherever he went. Since he works from home, he is with the dogs all day and takes them for lots of walks. We have a special food routine for her which he was happy to follow. It is obvious that Garrett loves dogs and understands that they are family members. He sent us frequent pictures and videos to keep us updated. We would definitely use Garrett for pet-sitting at his house again and would highly recommend him.”
“Sai was a great sitter! She was very responsive and sent a lot of photos of our dog everyday. I really appreciated her updates, and our dog seemed to like her as well :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Branford
Tara watched our 11-year-old beagle, Frasier, for ~10 days in August. When I saw her fenced in backyard and met her other small dogs, I knew Frasier would be happy and safe in her care. After we dropped our dog off, she sent photos and short notes every day. He was clearly happy and comfy. I hope to bring Frasier back to her home for pet sitting another time soon.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
97% of Branford sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Branford landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Branford 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 Branford.
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.
You and your Branford 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.
