“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!”

“Radostina did a great job with our 5 year old and 5 month old pups. She has a fenced in yard and areas set up for playing and sleeping. She was so loving and sent lots of pictures. Through those pictures we could tell that our pups were loving their time with her and her family. Thank you Radostina!”
“Ivon was very responsive planning the stay and then kept us updated with pics throughout our dog’s stay. She also worked around our schedule for drop off and pick up, which was hugely helpful.”
“Nandita was great while Gwen stayed at her home for a week! Gwen can be a very tentative dog, but Nandita made sure she was comfortable and taken care of. She was great at providing photos and videos during the stay and Gwen looked happy and comfortable throughout! Nandita is also extremely responsive, and she has a very friendly Labrador retriever who is great at interacting with all kinds of dog personalities. Highly recommend!”
“Kevin did an amazing job watching my dog, Jamie, for the first time! He sent me daily photos of Jamie enjoying walks and relaxing in the sun on the balcony, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Jamie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I know he’s in great hands with Kevin, and I’ll definitely be rebooking!”

Our pup absolutely loved her stay and had the best time tagging along to work with Angelimar for extra companionship. Highly recommend!”

Would definitely recommend and we'd definitely book with her again!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Darien
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 :)
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Darien on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,061 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.
