“Salvo clearly enjoyed his time with Stephanie. She kept me plenty updated with photos throughout the time she watched him. She was very attentive to his needs beyond just eating and sleeping. She made sure he got outside, got to play and interacted well with her pets. I will definitely be trusting Stephanie next time we need someone to watch our dog.”


“I can’t recommend Maria enough! She provided exceptional and extremely compassionate care for our dog, Pluto, who boarded with Maria and her family for almost 3 weeks. I was very anxious about leaving Pluto with a stranger because he has some complicated health issues. However, before Pluto boarded with Maria and her family, she came to our place to meet us and discuss Pluto’s needs. She reassured us that she knew how to deal with seizures and could administer Pluto’s pills. Maria was great about reaching out when Pluto was experiencing stomach problems and was very responsive whenever I reached out for updates. She regularly sent us photos of Pluto enjoying his time with other dogs. The fact that Maria also has her own dogs and boards other dogs was a huge plus since Pluto is always with our family at home or at doggy daycare, so he hates being alone. In addition to being highly experienced in pet care, Maria is also extremely compassionate. I always felt that Pluto was in the best hands possible. Maria made a very difficult situation for my family easier since we knew he was getting the best care possible. Thank you so much, Maria! We will definitely be requesting your help again in the future and recommending you to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“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.”

“Amazing Service. Karina was very caring and responsive. She kept us informed with text message with pictures of how the day was progressing with our dog. She was even able to get him to eat regularly — which has been a problem at times. We highly recommend Karina as a Dog sitter and only which she were available to usnear our home in Florida”

“This was my first time boarding my frenchies away & I was so panicked to do so, but once I met yahaira and seen how she interacted with my dogs I felt so comfortable leavin them with her. She stood with my frenchies for two nights and her communication while I was away sending me pictures of my doggies and updating me on their day was so beautiful. She made me feel safe and that my dogs was in a lovin safe home I will definitely use her in the future if I need to and recommend her as well. Thank you so much yahaira for takin care of my dogs like your own.”

“Noemi and Dave did an incredible job pet sitting my two elderly dogs. One of my dogs can be a bit shy and anxious but he felt right at home with Noemi and Dave. They were incredibly responsive and sent frequent updates and photos. It was clear that my pups felt comfortable and were well cared for by Noemi and Dave.”

“Catie and her husband were able to take care of my dog when travel plans changed last minute. I was very nervous with a new sitter but they took great care of Barkley. They sent videos and pictures thru out his stay and were very responsive when I reached out to check on how he was doing. I would recommend them and use again!”

“Monique and Anthony took such great care of my 2 dogs! I always get anxious leaving them, but I received many pictures and videos of them having a blast. One of my pups gets especially anxious when we leave her, but Monique reassured me that she was okay and well cared for. I will definitely use their services again for my next trip. I highly highly recommend! (:”

“My Golden had a great stay with Connie and family. She sent photos, gave updates, and we met before at a dog park to make sure our dogs got along. He was well cared for, and even sent him home with a goodie bad with some treats. They are much more like professional caretakers and couldn’t recommend enough.”

“Saori took wonderful care of our Gus during his week long Thanksgiving stay. He enjoyed his long trips to the dog park and all the cuddles and care he receives throughout the week!”

“Great with our pup as always. Great updates/photos throughout the stay and always makes us feel at ease about dropping her off. Excellent communication and care. Thanks again!”

“Erika is an amazing sitter and really is so attentive to our dogs. My Charlie is a terrible eater and picks at his food, Erika took extra special time to make sure he was well fed. I loved getting pictures, multiple times a day to be able to see my boys while I was away. I highly remember Erika.”

“This was our first time bringing Dexter to Ariel's home. He was there for 10 nights. He had a great time with Ariel and her family. We received pictures every day from her showing Dexter socializing and playing with the other dogs she was also boarding. He got to play outside and run around in her gated areas in their yard which Dexter loved. Ariel communicated with us throughout our trip and responded to my many check in's on how Dexter was doing. We definitely will bring Dexter to Ariel and her family again. Highly recommend!!!!!”

“Katie was wonderful! We booked Katie after having concerns with the last sitter following instructions. Katie spoke with us on the phone and was able to assure us she could meet all of Bugsy’s needs. Bugsy is an older dog, so she can be a handful sometimes. But she seemed so well taken care of with Katie. Katie sent photos and updates of Bugsy. She worked with our schedule for drop off and pick up. Overall Bugsy came back happy and in good spirits. I felt great picking her up and feel confident she was well taken care of during our trip.”

“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.”

“Gwynne did such an amazing job taking care of our almost two year old yellow lab, Riley. She checked-in with us regularly to provide updates about how Riley was doing and would send pictures. Riley got in lots of play time and walks with Flash, too, which I know that she loved. I highly recommend Gwynne. We plan on using her again soon!”

About: I've worked professionally with your K9 companions for the past 10 years! I've also worked with cats, exotic animals (small animals, reptiles, birds, etc..) and aquatics. Chickens and ducks, as well! (I’ve owned my own) I was a dog groomer for 7 years, worked in an animal hospital for 1 year, and I've had pets my whole life. Every time I meet a new furry friend, I always treat them like they're my own family. I'd like to say almost every client I have feels comfortable with me and trusts me with their pet(s), which makes me feel very grateful for such great owners that I have the pleasure of working with! I've worked and I'm very aware of pets that have disabilities (physical, blind, deaf, etc..), any allergies (food or seasonal), senior (any breed), and I'm very good with pets that have anxiety or aggression. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at your convenience! I look forward to hearing from you. I currently work full time Monday through Friday, but have time after work (3:30-4pm) and during the weekends for animal care! If there are special requests where you need something during the week, I could definitely look over my schedule to see if it could work! I have a small fenced in back patio area at my apartment that can offer fresh air with the safety. There are also two wall-to-ceiling clear gates in the apartment that prevent anyone from getting into mischief!
“Karina and Teresa were absolutely amazing with Evee! From start to finish, they took such great care of her and made me feel completely at ease. They sent tons of photos and videos, which I really appreciated; it was so clear how happy, comfortable, and well-loved Evee was the entire time. 🥰🥰 Evee came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. You can tell they genuinely love what they do and treat your pet like their own. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters and would 100% trust them with Evee again. Highly recommend!”

“Mark was great super understanding on time and when our trip got cancelled last minute he was able to accommodate according to the change. Most importantly Luna came back a happy girl i appreciate mark and will be using his services again for our next trip coming up”

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.

There are 1,193 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Branford. About 90% of Branford 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.

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.

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.
