“My little ones had their very first overnight stay with Rachel and Luna, and it was a wonderful experience!

Thank you, Rachel and Luna, for taking such great care of them!”

“Emma took amazing care of our 2.5 year old lab for one week while we went away on vacation. She took great care of our dog giving her plenty of exercise and care. She shared videos and photos on a regular basis which we were grateful for. Our dog came home safe and sound. We would definitely ask Emma to take care of our dog again!”
About: Hi there, I’m an experienced dog owner and sitter with plenty of indoor and outdoor space for four legged friends of all sizes. I have a large fenced in backyard, and love to go for hikes and runs in the great outdoors. Or for a quiet walk in the neighborhood, if that’s what your dog prefers. Either way, I’ll make sure to keep your pup happy, safe and well cared for 😊 I’m available to board your dog Thursdays through Sundays. I work from home with a very flexible schedule and always go for at least one long (min 1 hr) walk and a couple of shorter ones on workday, plus plenty of time for play. My home office has a large and very comfy couch so that we all, dogs and office worker, can keep each other company. On weekends I tend to spend a lot of time outdoors, of course taking your dog’s needs into consideration. I have a large, dog friendly house and a wonderful fenced in backyard. My own dog, a very social and energetic Havanese, will happily share her couches and lead the way on walks and runs. No small kids in the house, I have three kids in their early 20s who come and go during weekends and school breaks. One of them is a vet technician, the other two just generally great with dogs.
“I’d give more than 5 stars if that was a choice! Ashley was so nice and my puppy Leah fell in love with her! She sent me photos often and updated me on how Leah was doing. This was our first time apart and I felt like my baby girl was in such good and safe hands! Leah didn’t want to leave when it was time to pick her up, that’s how much she loved spending time with Ashley. I will be booking Ashley again. Reliable and amazing!”
“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!!!”
“First time ever using a pet sitter, Was very pleased w/the care our 7 month old “big” high energy pup received. Lots of photos/videos were shared and response was quick. Friendly environment!”
“We’re very happy with Liza. She was very conscientious and loving with our dog. From the very start, we felt completely comforted knowing that he was in such good hands. She provided daily updates with pictures and videos throughout our 10-day trip. We will definitely book her again!”
“Ryan was great with our dog, Sprint! He was very responsive and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the day, which we really appreciated while we were away on vacation. Sprint got plenty of exercise and trips to the dog park every day. I also appreciated that Ryan was attentive and always followed up with questions if he needed clarification on anything related to Sprint’s care. We felt like Sprint was in great hands and would definitely use Ryan again!”
“I had an amazing experience with Jourdyn! From the very beginning, she had great communication, maintained professionalism, and it was wonderful to see that I found a sitter who truly cared about my pup Leo. Jourdyn sent pictures and gave updates throughout the day, and I really enjoyed the videos of her spending quality time with Leo. I can’t say enough great things. I highly recommend her and I hope to work with her again in the near future. Thank you Jourdyn! - Shar and Leo”
“Dew was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Harper. Our sweet girl was immediately comfortable with her. Dew kept in touch regularly while we were away and we never worried a bit. Great communication and will absolutely be using her again!”
“Margaret took excellent care of our senior dog while we were traveling. She was very attentive to his needs and made him feel very comfortable while we were away. She even graciously agreed to extend his stay for a couple of days when our flight home was canceled. I highly recommend her services!”
“Joe, the dog-whisperer, did a great job for us. We had used him a couple of times for a night or two and we were going on a two-week cruise. We had him stay at the house with Barry, our beagle. He located himself in our finished basement suite, brought his own provisions and was very respectful of our house. He got Barry to fetch and was working on "paw" with him. We got great updates while we were away. He and Barry got along great.”
“Loved Catherine! She took great care of Bear and it gave me peace of mind to know her house was safe, spotless, and dog friendly. I also liked that she only takes one client at a time to ensure full attention to my dog. 🫶🏽”

AMAZING! We recommend Jordyn highly. She is a great communicator and kept us updated throughout. When she was worried about something she contacted us right away. She has a great home with private fenced backyard. She was kind and loving with RIley and connected to her personality right away. We will use her again for sure!
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 of Pet Boarding in Darien is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $78 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 3,134 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Darien. About 90% of Darien sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
