“We were so grateful to find Richard before a week long trip to Iceland. Riley had a great place to stay with a big, fenced in back yard and lots of love and play. He had a few puppy friends to play with, but he doesn't take too many dogs at a time so it wasn't overwhelming for our only-child pup. I highly recommend him!”
“Karine is the best sitter I have used! She was very patient and took really good care of my nervous Aussie shepherd. Asked question to make sure she was always well taken care of and safe. I loved all the updates and pics of ruby playing and getting along with the family. I trust her and highly recommend her to take good care of your fur babies. Thank you Karine!!”
“Exceptional caretaker of our dog Bailey. Judy was very conscientious and kept us updated all week with photos; home was exceptionally clean and very well organized so we did not have to worry about Bailey chewing unsafe items and trash. When we picked her up, she seemed very relaxed and content.”
“Blanca is an absolute pleasure to interact with, she clearly loves the pups and seeing them happy makes her happy. Blanca watched our 2.5 year old Maltipoo for 7 days and kept us apprised of his stay with many adorable pictures and sweet texts. Banksy looked like he was having the BEST time with Blanca, and he can be very shy and suffers from separation anxiety when apart from Mom & Dad. We highly recommend Blanca for anyone who cares deeply for the well-being and happiness of their pup while traveling. She is the best dog sitter we’ve ever dealt with - hands down.”
“Nandita was patient and caring with my dog, allowing her time to natural time adjust to the new environment and meet Nandita’s dog. Would highly recommend!”
“Elvia and her family are wonderful. Chloe had the best time!!! Chloe is definitely looking forward to going back to Elvia. Thank you for taking such great care of Chloe ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“I had a good experience with Alena and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable to care for their dog. She stayed in touch with me throughout Dewey’s stay and sent me photos and updates, which I really appreciated. I felt comfortable and confident leaving Dewey in her care and knowing he was being well looked after. I would be happy to have her take care of Dewey again in the future. Thank you, Alena! 🐾❤️”
“Our boy has a great time with Cristina! He loves playing in the yard and snuggling up with some blankets at her place. She’s super communicative and takes amazing pictures of him. Highly recommend!”
“Tina and Jon went above and beyond to ensure we felt completely at ease leaving our 5-year-old Italian Greyhound in their care while we traveled to Canada. They provided consistent updates throughout our entire trip, sending a plethora of videos and photos that kept us connected to our pup. The fenced-in backyard was a fantastic perk, and we loved seeing all the adventures she went on with them. If you are looking for a five-star pet sitter, Tina and Jon are the ones for you!”
“Consuelo and family take such great care - we booked for 3 different times in the week. and yes, our puppy keeps asking, "When are we going back?" Highly recommend!!!”
“We are so thankful we found Elizabeth & Cole to watch our pup Ellie. Elizabeth was kind enough to pick her up from our home and drop her off before we got back from our trip! We will absolutely be using them in the future!!”
“Yenis exceeded expectations!! I was so nervous to leave my Charlie with someone he was unfamiliar with but he had the best time with Yenis and looked so happy and comfortable in every photo I received. We will 100% be using her for future stays 😊 Thank you, Yenis!”
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our cats, kept us updated with photos and messages, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Clinton & his son were terrific. Our dog, Ripley, came home very happy. She got along very well with their dog and they kept each other company. We also received photos while we were away which was great.”
About: My love of dogs led me to start a dog walking business when I was only 10 yrs old. Once I finally convinced my parents to get a dog, I was 15 and we ended up with two bichon-malteses who were the loves of my life. As an adult, my career has me traveling frequently so I haven’t become a pet owner, but I continue to dogsit for friends and neighbors because I love the companionship when I’m home. I am committed to providing your dog a comfortable home away from home where they will be well cared for and loved. I work from home Mondays and Fridays so can be available for care for a long weekend (Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon). My availability may be limited based on work travel. I live in a dog friendly building, where there is greenery and walking paths around the building for daily walks and enjoy going for longer walks in nearby parks.
About: I’m the type of sitter who pays attention to the little things — routines, favorite toys, energy levels, and comfort needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I adapt to what each pet needs. I believe pets do best when they feel safe, loved, and understood, and that’s the environment I strive to provide. Plus, you can expect plenty of updates and photos! Pets fit easily into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my schedule to make sure pets get the attention, exercise, care, and consistency they need — whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just company and cuddles. I aim to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel happy and comfortable. I care for pets by creating a safe, calm, and loving environment while following their normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervised playtime, walks, feeding on schedule, and a comfortable space to relax and feel at home. In a client’s home, I respect their pet’s routine, environment, and instructions to help keep things familiar and stress-free. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, energy level, dietary needs, and comfort, and I make sure owners receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“We're so glad that we found Tanya! Daisy had a wonderful time, and I had a rare opportunity to meet a friend for a nice evening in New York City! We will definitely be calling on Tanya again. Highly recommended!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cos Cob
I was out of town for a weekend and needed someone for dog boarding, so of course I went to Wendy! She was great with my dog and followed the care instructions I gave her. She provided updates throughout the day, was flexible with drop off/pick up time, and made things easy for me by dropping off my dog at my home. Wendy is great!
Rebecca and her husband were great! I had to book them last minute for a wedding weekend where we had a sitter fall through. From the beginning she assured me that they would take good care of our dogs! We have a puppy Duke and a rescue hazy. Both come with a big personality and it was no sweat to them. They were communicative, responsive and exceeded our expectations. We are not from the area but highly highly recommend anyone who is to book with them! When we come back to visit we will for sure be using them again!
Stefanie was amazing - kind, patient and understanding with our anxious pup's first boarding experience ever, and a great communicator. She and her human and four legged family members welcomed our pup with open arms and helped put our mind at ease that our pup was in great hands. Would definitely recommend and we'd definitely book with her again!!

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Cos Cob can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cos Cob 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 Cos Cob.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Cos Cob 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.
