“We cannot think Julius and family enough for watching our two dogs over the holidays! It is always challenging for us to leave them behind, but Julius and family took great care of them. They were happy, and well-cared for. Looking forward to booking them again.”

“This was my first time leaving my dog with a boarder. I received pictures and reassuring texts showing what a wonderful time he had at their home. Feeling confident I can leave him for a much longer stay in a few months. Thank you!”

“Our son was getting married in upstate NY so we needed a sitter for our dog Kai while we were away. We have always left Kai with either family or friends, but since everyone we knew was attending the wedding I reached out to Laura. We set up a meet and greet -I knew from the first time I met her that she was a perfect match. She was warm and kind - obviously a dog lover - and she made a connection with our normally shy dog right away. She asked a lot of questions about Kai's habits - she wanted to make sure she followed his normal daily routine so that he would be comfortable in her home.. Her house is beautiful and she has a large, fenced in back yard that allowed Kai to run free in a safe environment. Laura took him for a 3 mile daily walk, and sent many pictures and updates the whole 6 days she had him. He became a part of her family❤️ I cannot say enough about how happy we were to have found her. She gave us peace of mind that Kai was well loved and cared for so we were able to enjoy the wedding without any worries. I would HIGHLY recommend Laura to anyone looking for a sitter!!”

“Danielle and her husband were absolutely amazing while watching our little guy (Jaxson) for a quick getaway this week. We were given constant updates/pictures, and he clearly made himself right at home and was as comfortable as can be. Communication was prompt from the beginning and we were truly at ease while we were away that he was receiving more than adequate care. Jax became quick friends with their pets, and was moping around when we got home because he clearly misses them! Could not recommend enough!”

“My Golden had a great stay with Connie and family. She sent photos, gave updates, and we met before at a dog park to make sure our dogs got along. He was well cared for, and even sent him home with a goodie bad with some treats. They are much more like professional caretakers and couldn’t recommend enough.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even ferrets! I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know their different personalities. I’m also a registered nurse, so being dependable, attentive, patient, and caring comes naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities, and I’ll always treat yours like my own. I’m new to Rover, but definitely not new to caring for animals! 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays throughout the week, including weekends. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so fitting walks and playtime into my day is something I genuinely look forward to. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routines, especially when their owners are away! When caring for pets in their own homes, I do my best to keep things familiar and stress-free

About: I’ve grown up with dogs but have experience with both dogs and cats. I have always had a natural love for animals. I’m caring, patient, responsible, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality, whether they love to play, go for walks, cuddle, or simply relax by my side. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾 I work remotely, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day, including taking them outside, going for walks, playing, and giving them lots of love and cuddles. I enjoy having animals around while I work and am happy to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for. I like to keep things as comfortable and familiar as possible for each pet. I’ll follow their usual routines and any instructions you provide, while paying attention to their personality and individual needs. Whether they’re energetic, shy, or more laid-back, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and have a positive experience while you’re away.

About: 🏳️‍🌈 I've lived with and taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. Starting off in apartments where they needed to be walked multiple times a day. I've had my own dogs for the past 16 years. From puppies to seniors on daily medications, I've taken care of it all with my own doggos. We recently lost our doggy siblings, Tegan and Sara in May and July 2022 at 15.5 years old. We currently have a 4 year old rescue named Oswald. I live on 3/4 of an acre with a 5' chain link fence surrounding the back yard. I also work from home, so I'm always here. With your permission, I may even take your pups on adventures while in my care! I do require a meet and greet to make sure our pups do well together and so you can see the house and yard your doggo will be staying at. It is what I would want for my own dog, so I will always provide it for you. I will also send a ton of pictures while your baby is in my care! 🏳️‍🌈 I work from home 9-5:30 M-F. Your baby will get to go out whenever needed in my fenced yard and I will give them love in small breaks during my own work day. They will not spend their days in a crate as I am here to keep an eye on them. I have a fenced yard. I do have a very dog and person friendly pup of my own who will be happy to play with your pup, too, as his favorite place is his doggy daycare (he's well socialized). We have few stairs that need to be climbed, 1-3 off our deck (we have a few entrances on the deck) that can be adjusted by closing deck doors as needed for seniors.

“As a pet mom whose dog is basically her child, I cannot say enough wonderful things about Paola and her family. Finding them has been a true blessing. Before booking, I had never left my dog, Reggie, with anyone other than family in the four years I've had him, so I was understandably nervous. Paola took the time to meet with us beforehand, and both her family and her dog, Rolly, quickly bonded with Reggie. I have since booked with Paola a second time and continue to be impressed by her thoughtfulness, responsiveness, and communication. She regularly sends photos and updates, giving me complete peace of mind. I am confident that Reggie is loved and cared for as if he were their own. I wholeheartedly recommend Paola as a pet sitter and look forward to booking with her again. I know Reggie will always have a wonderful time in her care.”

“Wil was really great with my dog, even though he is usually reactive he behaved wonderfully with him and I could tell he had a really good time there! I will definitely be booking again! There was some slight confusion though since I wasn’t told it wouldn’t be Francis herself watching my dog but rather her parents, which was fine as they were great with him but it was a surprise.”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Deep River Center

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 781 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Deep River Center. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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 Deep River Center 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 Deep River Center 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 Deep River Center.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Deep River Center. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

You and your Deep River Center 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.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
