“John was great with our two senior labs and they felt right at home. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing they were content. Also easy to coordinate the booking / drop offs and John was easy to communicate with as well. Would definitely hire him again for care.”
“Mary Ann was absolutely wonderful to work with! She watched our elderly blind and diabetic dog for us during a weeklong trip, and the peace of mind we felt knowing that our dog was so well cared for was such a gift. Mary Ann took time to do a meet and greet before our trip so that our dog could get to know her and her property, and so that she could take detailed notes on our dog’s needs. We also received periodic updates while we were away. Mary Ann truly goes above and beyond, and we will gladly request her services again when the need arises! Thank you!!”
“Peter and Monique were so attentive to our dog for a whole week. Peter was very thorough in asking all about Sooty’s needs and preferences. We really appreciated the updates and photos, our dog had a lovely time and was very well cared for. I booked Peter based on reading the reviews and would say exactly the same as others have. Definitely recommend and will be booking again in future.”
“Kristina was an amazing sitter for Teddy! I’m giving her 5 stars for the great care she provided. She took Teddy on regular walks and kept me updated every day with detailed recaps, photos, and videos, which I really appreciated. She was very communicative and patient, especially when Teddy wasn’t eating much in a new environment. She made sure he was comfortable and took the time to help him adjust. She also administered his anxiety medication without any issues, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I would absolutely book with Kristina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Nicole was so wonderful! She took the BEST care of Basil, who is an older dog with some health limitations (hard of hearing, hard of vision, etc). Nicole has a few older dogs of her own, so understood Basil's needs and was very attentive and loving with her. I would recommend to anyone looking for a loving home to board your dog!”
“Angela is the best!!! I’m so happy I found Angela for my babe’s first boarding. Angela is so sweet and responsible, she send updates with photos and videos everyday and make sure my babe is good and happy! I will definitely coming back if I have any travel plans in the future and recommend to friends and family!! Thank you Angela!!”
“Karina was amazing!! She made the whole boarding process with our dog easier than I thought it would be! This was our first time leaving our dog in someone else's care and Karina made sure to update us daily on how our Nova was doing and she even sent pictures! We could tell that our dog adored Karina and was always having so much fun with Karina's dog, Ariel! Knowing that Nova was being loved and cared for by a responsible individual while my family was away definitely put my mind at ease. I (and Nova) are so thankful and look forward to seeing and booking with Karina again! I could not ask for a better person! I would, and will recommend Karina every time!!”
“Ashley was very flexible with drop off and pick up times! She sent me photos of the dogs and let me know how they were selling in. My larger dog is easily stressed, but we picked him up and he was completely comfortable! We will definitely be using her for any other dog sitting needs!”
“My dog didn’t want to come home! My communication and logistical coordination with Candice was super easy, accommodating, and professional. She took excellent care of my loved one. She is great and highly recommended.”
“Upon arriving at Kathleen's Buddy uncharicteristicly behaved badly and I was horrified. Kathleen was gracious and professional as she cleaned up the mess and assured us it would be okay. And indeed, it was. Buddy had a fine time, as we saw in the photos Kathleen sent us. There were no further accidents and Buddy settled in to walks, naps and snuggles. Thank you Kathleen for taking such good care of our Buddy. We appreciate your care, kindness and professionalism and will definitely be return clients.”
“Butter had such a nice stay! Nicole sent so many pictures of him throughout his stay and he got so much socializing time with other puppy friends! He looked like he had such a fun time and seemed well taken care of! I loved receiving updates and pictures all throughout the day to see what he’s up to and what he’s doing! I definitely will rebook again!”
“Yenifer took excellent care of my dog. He was so happy with her! She made sure she communicated everyday with us during the stay, sent us pictures and updates. We are very happy with her services and would strongly recommend her. Thank you, Yenifer.”
“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.”
“I felt totally comfortable leaving my dog with Katie! She did a great job reassuring me that my dog would do fine and she would text me if there were any issues. She also sent me a picture throughout the day. I would definitely go to her again.”
“Maria is a great sitter. She truly loves dogs and it reflects in the care she gives to them. Our dog was so happy being able to sit in a lap and enjoy playing with the other dogs. She came home happy and healthy thanks to Maria’s care!”
“Eric and his wife took amazing care of my cat and dog while I was away for two weeks. They got to know each animal and sent videos and photo updates, I will use them again in the future!”
“Anna was very attentive, kind and obviously portrayed that she wanted to care for our fur baby. Our dog can be a little difficult with strangers and it seemed that she felt very comfortable there! Definitely recommend.”
“My dogs were with Nell for the first time for 2 nights, they came home very happy and tired! I can tell they were very comfortable in her home and we’d definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and have cared for family and friends pets numerous times. Have experience with training puppies, administering medication, bathing and walking dogs. I am currently working part time during the week but am available on weekdays before 10am and after 3pm. I am also fully available on weekends, leaving plenty of time for enriching play and cuddle time for your furry friends! I bring the pets I care for outside for long walks despite the weather and play with them for as long as they like so they can use all their pent up energy. Every pet I care for receives lots of pets and belly rubs to keep them happy and entertained.

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 .
As of August 2026, there are 275 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Canaan. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
100% of Canaan 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 Canaan 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 Canaan 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 Canaan.
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 Canaan 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.
