“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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“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.”
“Tina and her husband took wonderful care of my Lucy. They were quick to respond/schedule a meet and greet and were very receptive of all of Lucy’s personality quirks. They were flexible with drop off/pick up, provided great updates, and were very communicative. Lucy will definitely be back!”
“Clinton and his son Lincoln were fantastic. Lots of pictures and videos along with walks and play sessions. Our pup might have had more fun on vacation than we did. Highly recommend!”
“Richard is great with my dog Winston! He loves to stay with Richard and play with his dog friends. This is second time we have Winston staying with Richard and will definitely return!”
“Nandita did such an amazing job watching our Goldendoodle for nearly 2.5 weeks!! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter while we were away, she was so great at providing us updates and pictures. We never once were worried about his wellbeing while being gone for so long. He got plenty of exercise and play, and we can’t wait to use her again when we go away next, knowing he’s in amazing hands!”
“I was so fortunate to have found Anastasiia to watch our dog Axel when we traveled to Europe. We had booked a sitter who cancelled - leaving us with very little time to find another over the holiday season. We had Anastasiia was reasonably priced compared to some of the other sitters available (watch out for price gouging during the holidays). I had booked someone who was less expensive but when we did the meet and great, I saw that they were using Rover to run a kennel: 10 dogs kept in an 8x6 garage - with no one home! I took a chance on Anastasiia because she is new to Rover. When I met her in her home, I could tell right away that Axel would be in good hands! The home is charming and so was Anastasiia's partner :-). During Axel's stay he got to go to the park and play and even got to go on a hike. Anastasiia asked me if it was ok to take him and how he was in the car. The pictures of their adventure made me smile :-). I was sent lots of pictures during Axel's stay - most either playing or lounging lol Axel was in good spirits when we picked him up. I felt comfortable and confident that my family member was being given good care while we were overseas. I highly recommend.”
“Irene is wonderful! Easy to communicate and coordinate with. I felt at ease knowing our little guy was in good hands. He came back happy and healthy. I’d definitely recommend!”
“Andrea was WONDERFUL! Skye had such a lovely time at her home. It was our first time using her dog sitting in home service, I had an emergency and was unable to come pick her up, and Andrea accomodated a second day without hesitation. She truly gave me such peace of mind in an incredibly stressful situation— something that is very hard to find these days! 10/10 recommend using Andrea, her beautiful home and yard and stellar service!”
“Arly helped us out in a last minute booking situation & she couldn’t have been more proactive, communicative & caring. Gus had a great time with Arly & we had so many wonderful updated & photos, everything was very well taken care of”
“Our second time booking with Kevin and just as amazing as the first time! Except this time he also watched our tinier senior dog in addition to our other dog and puppy. All three pups seemed like they had a great time! He catered to each of their personalities/size/temperament and sent pictures and updates throughout their stay.”
“Yenis was great! She was super communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos! Looked like our dog Tex had a great time and felt super comfortable! Would definitely book again 😊”
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.
“We are a repeat customer of Carrigan's. Selena always seems to have a good time when she stays over. She's happy, energetic and doesn't really make the mad dash for the car that she sometimes does when she stays with other sitters. I would definitely have her stay with Carrigan again.”
“Wonderful with our little old girl . Took great care of her and sent adorable pics letting us know how she was doing during her stay. Responds quickly to texts which is a plus ! Highly recommend and will definitely use again for our puppers !”
“Robin is a lovely person who took excellent care of our dog. She kept us updated on everything and I could tell our dog was comfortable and relaxed when we returned. We will definitely be booking with Robin again!”
“Excellent. Will hire Ariel again. Pleasant and capable, she followed all care instructions to a tee for my 17 yr old dog. Responsive to all communications and kept me up to date on his well being, which I'm skitzo about because of his age.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Darien is $60

Clinton was fantastic! Quick to respond and easy to communicate with. Our basset hound Millie stayed with him for a weekend and enjoyed herself. Clinton sent us multiple update pictures letting us know that she was comfortable and spending time with his son and golden retriever. Clinton’s backyard space was great for Millie too! We’ll definitely be repeat customers :)
Great Boarding experience - Our two 8 year old golden retrievers boarded with Kevin and Ana for 11 days. After a successful meet and greet followed by a doggy daycare visit to acclimatize our dogs to Kevin and Ana and their dogs, we opted for the pick up and drop off service to make the separation process less stressful for our dogs. Kevin asked thoughtful questions about the contingent medication during pickup. Straight away we could tell from the videos after their arrival at Kevin and Ana's house that our dogs were more relaxed vs. the initial daycare visit. Kevin and Ana provided video and updates of our dogs during their stay. The best endorsement of Kevin as a boarding host was provided by one of our dogs at drop off time. After cheerily greeting us, she kept returning to Kevin for more attention as we chatted, clearly signaling a top-level canine approval rating.
Está muy bien, solo haría unos pequeños cambios para que suene más natural en inglés: She was amazing! My dog loved her so much that when I went to pick her up, she didn’t want to leave, which showed me that she felt safe and comfortable. Yury was also super sweet and always sent me videos and pictures. I will DEFINITELY book with her again! Thank you, Yury — we are so grateful! También podrías hacerlo un poco más cálido: She was amazing! My dog absolutely loved her. When I went to pick her up, she didn’t want to leave, which told me she felt safe, happy, and comfortable. Yury was incredibly sweet and kept me updated with videos and pictures throughout the stay. I will definitely book with her again. Thank you Yury, we are so grateful for the wonderful care you gave our dog! ❤️
We had such a wonderful experience boarding our miniature dachshund, Bailey! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in great hands. Jon took amazing care of her and we are really impressed with his knowledge and attention to detail. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bailey was safe, happy, and well cared for while we were away. We could tell he was treated like family. We’ll absolutely be booking with Jon again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced dog boarder!
Karen and her family are absolutely wonderful! Our dogs received more attention and exercise than they ever get at home — which is truly saying something. We were away for over a week, and knowing our babies were in such loving, capable hands was an enormous relief. We couldn't recommend Karen more highly and will definitely be booking with her again!
Azucely S. was amazing with Chewy and took such great care of him. Her communication was excellent, and she kept me updated the whole time, which really gave me peace of mind. Chewy looked so comfortable and happy with her, and it truly felt like he was right at home. I would definitely trust her with him again and highly recommend her.
Chaz had another lovely stay with Rosediane. He had a great time! He was very happy to see her when we got to her house. She sent updates and pictures every day! Chaz has stayed with her a few times since 2023 and I always feel comfortable leaving him with Rosediane because I know he’s well cared for by her!
Just amazing! Took such good care of my babies. My girl is a rescue with a history of abuse and she went straight to Yulia. She sent pictures while we were away and took care of our old man who suffers from heart failure. I can't say enough good things about her. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much!
Ginger didn’t even want to leave. She and Rye got along super well. Katie and Tausif were both very attentive and made sure she had a ball. They sent smiley pictures. They also followed my care instructions well, which I appreciate. I can tell Ginger can’t wait to come back.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Darien on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 July 2026, there are 3,105 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Darien. 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.
95% of Darien 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 Darien 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 Darien 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 Darien.
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 Darien 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.
