“I can’t say enough good things about Alessandra! This was my first time using Rover, and she was absolutely wonderful with my senior dog, Miso. She even offered to do a little meet-and-greet beforehand, which immediately made me feel comfortable. While I was away, she was so responsive and sent lots of photos and thoughtful updates. Alessandra is warm, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. I felt completely confident that Miso was in good hands the entire time. I’ll definitely be booking with her again the next time I’m out of town!”

“Dominique and Brandon are absolutely exceptional. If I could give 10 stars I would. They took amazing care of our dog and treated her like she was her own. She was attentive, reliable, and kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us complete peace of mind. We came home to a very happy and well-cared-for pup. We have tried boarding our dog with other people and I can say after she stayed with Dominique and Brandon she’s just so happy, playful, relaxed, it looks like she had her own vacation! You know when somebody took great care of your dog. Dominique and Brandon will be my go-to! They are amazing! Thank you Dominique and Brandon!!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Anthony caring for our little Shadow from June 17–22. Anthony was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. He kept us updated throughout Shadow’s stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Shadow was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for when we returned. We truly appreciate Anthony’s professionalism, kindness, and dedication. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, and we would not hesitate to book with him again. Thank you, Anthony, for taking such great care of Shadow! 🐾”

About: I have been taking care of animals for over 30 years! Never met an animal that didn't like me after meeting me. I know how to adapt to their vibe and usually end up with lots of puppy and kitty friends! I am very flexible and easy going. I love animals and it literally brings peace and joy to my life to be around as many as possible each day so if I am not with my own animals I would love to help with yours! I can stay over night for animals if needed. I am very flexible and trustworthy. I have animals and I know how they need us! I can drop in for potty breaks or I can take them for long walks and hang with them! I am very open to meeting your needs.

About: I am a Marine and Army veteran with a passion for dogs. I love all dogs no matter what size they are. I’m a decent sized guy so hyperactive or stronger dogs are no problem for me. The more playful, the better. If your pet loves to run, I’ll run right along with them. If your pet is more inclined to be on the inside, I’ll be right there. I’ll take care of all needs. Please Note: Although I love all pets especially dogs, I’m unfortunately allergic to cats. My most available times are on the weekend but I am also available during the week and can fit almost any time into my schedule. I will provide your pet with all the attention they’ll need plus more. I will be able to take them on walks around your neighborhood, play games with them, feed them, and give them their needed bathroom breaks. The house rules you have established for them will be maintained at all times.

“We had a great experience with Luci’s daycare service. From the start, communication was easy and reassuring. She shared photos and videos throughout the day, which made us feel completely at ease. Dante looked very comfortable and happy, almost like he was at home. It’s not always easy to find someone you can fully trust with your dog, but this was definitely one of those cases. We’re really glad we found her and will absolutely book again when needed. Highly recommended.”

Claudia and Juni (her pup) were SO awesome and went the extra mile during his stay to make Chase feel at home! From play time to hand feeding him when he didn’t want to eat to playing search games for mental stimulation. She also sent many videos and pictures which I very much appreciated!! I highly recommend her and Juni for your future dog sitting needs!!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Branford on Rover is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $77 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

There are 1,163 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.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

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.
