“From the moment we found Sherry we felt comfortable that our dog (baby) would be in good hands. She is a very good communicator and walked us through the Rover website to call out all sorts details to make our pet feel at home and have her needs met. During our trip Sherry was kind enough to always let us know how our baby was doing with pictures and videos. This review is long overdue. We'll be looking to Sherry for our future boarding needs *Liz*”
“Maggie was so great with our dog while we were away for a weekend. He was well taken care of and we loved receiving photo updates each day while we were gone. We would highly recommend Maggie to anyone who needs boarding/doggy day care”
About: Hi! My name is Mahalah, and I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—big and small—for most of my life. I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have a Miniature Pinscher who is quite the ball of energy! He also struggles with reactivity, so I have firsthand experience understanding a reactive dog’s needs, recognizing their triggers, respecting their boundaries, and helping them feel comfortable in new situations. If your dog is reactive, nervous, or takes a little time to warm up, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to take things at their pace and work toward building trust. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, including dogs who needed help getting up and down stairs and those who required daily medication. I understand that older pets may need a little extra patience, gentleness, and attention, and I’m happy to provide that care. Since I’m currently working on Rover full-time, my schedule is flexible, and I’m able to give your pets plenty of attention and treats throughout the day. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely happy while they’re with me. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routine, likes, dislikes, and individual needs so I can give them the best care possible. Whether they’re playful and full of energy, shy and nervous, reactive, elderly, or just looking for someone to cuddle with, I’m patient and always willing to meet them where they’re most comfortable. Caring for my own dog has taught me how important patience, understanding, and building trust can be, and I bring that same care and compassion to every pet I look after. I want you and your dog to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands.
“Rosmery was wonderful with our fur baby! I received many pictures and videos of Lana. Her and her family made feel our pup like home! Definitely, we will bring Lana back.”
“Christine was a wonderful sitter! She took very good care of our Vizsla, Arrow, and sent photos and text updates throughout his stay with her. We will definitely ask her to watch him again!”
“Laura did a fantastic job with our 8-month-old Great Dane, who was anxious about being left alone. She provided plenty of updates and reassurance while taking excellent care of our pup!”
About: For five years during grad school, I took care of friends pets (including cats, small dogs, and big dogs) for days and up to weeks while they were away. I have a full time job Monday-Friday, but I love animals! I can’t have a pet of my own at the moment, but I would love to take care of yours on the weekends or weekday evenings. My priority is to make your pet feel safe. I find keeping them in their home environment or maintaining their usual routine is often helpful. I am open to in house visits as well as bringing them into my home.
“I cannot recommend Ifan enough! I chose to travel outside my city just so Toshi could stay with him, and it was the best decision ever. Ifan is incredibly caring, responsible, and treated my little guy like royalty. I knew Toshi was in the safest hands possible. If you need a sitter, do whatever it takes to book Ifan—he's truly one of a kind!"”
About: I love pets, they are the cutest addition to our lives. I have a dog of my own, she is 2 1/2 years old, very playful and friendly. I have had pets since childhood and love taking care of them, we have a house and a fenced yard, hence your pup is safe to play outdoors whenever they want. They are allowed on furniture too. Will love to take care of your precious little baby 😊 I work from home few times a week and my mom stays at home full time, so someone is always there to play with your pups and to take care of them. I have a fenced yard so they are safe when playing outdoors, I can take them on walks weather permitting, if they like to sleep in their crate they can do so too, potty breaks according to their schedule and have fun indoors. Will love to give them a safe place when they’re away from home 🏡
“From the meet and greet we had I knew she would take great care of Ethan while I was away. She was very responsive and so incredibly friendly and seemed to understand his body language. She is amazing and I am definitely going to book with her again!”
“Great person!!! She took pictures while my dog was there. I was able to communicate with her without a problem. She let me know how my dog was doing. My dog seemed tk have had a blast. Thank you soo much for taking care of my tip.”
“Josh was great with Chester for my long vacation. He kept me updated at all times and sent me pics of him all happy and smiling; and ball chasing all the time. Josh was a great communicator at all times. I will definitely use him again. Thanks Josh for everything!”
“Our two dogs had a great 4-night stay with Lisa! She listened carefully to the special instructions for our larger, anxious dog. Both pups were calm and happy during their stay. Nice location in a quiet, convenient spot with large house and yard.”
“Deb did a great job with caring for my dog Flash. She was understanding of Flash's initial anxiety with being in a different environment. My dog enjoyed his stay with her.”
“Kristen took great care of my lab/shepard mix! I could tell my dog was happy, well loved, and cared for in my absence. I really loved the photo updates too. I highly recommend Kristen!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cromwell
Douglas and his dog Sunny took great care of my dog Chance. He followed all my instructions and had excellent communication. He even sent some nice photos that had me reassured Chance was doing okay. When I picked Chance up he was content, tired, and relaxed, all great signs.
Sherry took great care of our elderly dog while we were away this past week. She took the time to get to know our dog and help her feel comfortable. She sent us photos, videos, and updates that helped us feel reassured that our dog was having a great time. We would definitely recommend Sherry!
Thank you so much again Ethan! Chance can be a stubborn, strong willed boy, but he took to Ethan very quickly and was so excited to be dropped off. Usually when I pick him up he’s in a rush to get home but when I picked him up from Ethan he seemed very content, relaxed, and well taken care of. I appreciate how well he took care of my fur baby. Would book him again!
I'd highly recommend Kimberly and Victor as they were awesome w/ my stubborn Frenchie, Casper! I got daily updates w/ photos and videos which was great. They were super patient with him and went above and beyond by adjusting their routines to make him feel comfortable. Casper came home happy!!
Maja and her family were absolutely amazing. I was so anxious since this was my first time leaving my fur baby for so long and in someone else’s care, but she and her family truly made me feel that he was loved and well cared for while we were away. She sent plenty of updates, photos, and videos that brightened my day every time. I felt completely assured that he was having a blast with her kids and fitting in as if he were right at home. I can’t thank Maja and her family enough for taking such great care of him and will definitely keep them in mind for our next trip away from home.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Cromwell is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $53 per night. On Rover, 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.

As of October 2026, there are 938 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cromwell. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Cromwell 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 Cromwell home-away-from-home, 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 Cromwell.
<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 Cromwell 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 , 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 .
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.
