“Bruce was amazing!! He helped me out with a last minute request for boarding my fur baby due to a work trip. Grady was so happy staying with him. We will definitely be going to Bruce for all future pet sitting needs.”
“Elizabeth is the absolute best with our dogs! Our older dog was having some GI issues and she went out of her way to cook for her and keep us updated. When we picked her up the issues were resolved and our dogs were so happy!!! The updates she gave daily were a great comfort and she was extremely responsive ☺️”
“They are AMAZING!! My little dog Mochi loved them a lot and I can tell he had good time with them. Normally Mochi is very shy with other people. But right away when Mochi sees Nadine family, they are already being friends. They knows dogs well and find out very quick what doggy needs. Friendly, sweet, treat like family. Everyday send me a comment (condition of my dog, what is plan) with good pictures. It makes me feel so much comfortable. Best people ever! I will come back with them. Thank you so much!! ☺️”
“Otter always looks forward to going to Stephanie's home! He romps and plays with the other dogs, and she takes fabulous care of him while I'm away. He gets to go on nature walks, relax in her bed, and play and be a dog! She sends frequent updates, and I'm always comforted by how happy Otter looks! I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking through Rover to take care of their pup!!!!”
“Stefanie was great with my dog Daisy! I was happy to receive daily updates and Daisy looked like she was having a great time :) she even made a cat friend! I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her for a long weekend.”
“Bianka was wonderful with my dog Howie. She was responsive and provided frequent updates while he was in her care! I’d absolutely recommend Bianka to anyone in need of a dog sitter. :)”
“Catherine was wonderful with Josie, she attended to every one of her needs and treated her like the true diva that she is! She gave her her drops, her eye drops three times a day on schedule, sent me pictures and videos. I was hoping Josie would a still wanna come home with me and not stay with Catherine.!!!Sue w.”
“Wow, Valerie was amazing. I knew my dogs and cat were in good care. She sent us photos throughout the ENTIRE stay and it made me feel so comfortable. My family was worried about leaving our pets with a 'stranger' but Valerie didnt feel like that to us. Her property was GORGEOUS! and had so much room for the puppies to run around and play. They were all tired out and we could tell by the photos she sent us of our dogs sleeping. My cat was also welcomed and had a nice time too. 11/10”
“We are very happy with the care Penny received while staying at Diana & Chris’s home for the day. We were updated with pictures and comments on how Penny was doing throughout the day. Penny seemed very much at home. All of her routines were followed.”
“We left our Bernese Mountain Dog with Kara for a week and a half and had so much peace of mind knowing he was being loved as much as we love him. Kara was great and sent us many pictures and updates throughout our time away. I have to say, our doggie looked like he was smiling in all of the pictures...I was afraid he wouldn't want to come home :) I highly recommend Kara to love your pets in your absence!”
“Sheila was an excellent sitter for our dog! She sent us great updates and we could tell Angus got lots of attention and activity. Would happily use her again!”
“Andrew went above and beyond to make my Ito feel at home! He was super communicative as well and I felt so happy knowing my pup was loved on and taken care of so well. Ito is staying with him for a longer visit next month and I feel really lucky I found such a great sitter!”
“Mikayla and Justin took great care of Rigatoni— were easy to communicate with, provided check-ins, and genuinely cared about her well-being. So grateful!”
About: I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. For the past 4 years I've helped my stepmom with her pet-sitting business, caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I've also watched, walked, and cared for pets for friends, family members, and neighbors. Being around animals never feels like work to me. I love getting outside for walks, playing with energetic dogs, and giving extra attention to dogs that might be missing their owners. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I do my best to make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you're away. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I love spending time with animals. Between working at home and my other responsibilities, I make sure I have plenty of time set aside to give pets the attention they deserve. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, I'm happy to work with your pet's normal routine and make sure they stay comfortable and cared for. I know every pet is different, so I always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. I follow owners' instructions carefully and make sure pets always have fresh water, exercise, attention, and a safe environment. I'll also keep you updated while you're away with photos and messages because I know how much that means to their families.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Derby is $60
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Derby
Kara did a great job taking care of my babies. She not only babysat them, she took them on a field trip (literally) and played with them. One of my dogs got dirty from playing in the field, and she took the time to bath him. I appreciate her so much and will be using her again.
Amazing Service. Karina was very caring and responsive. She kept us informed with text message with pictures of how the day was progressing with our dog. She was even able to get him to eat regularly — which has been a problem at times. We highly recommend Karina as a Dog sitter and only which she were available to usnear our home in Florida

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Derby on Rover is $43.04 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 1,343 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Derby. 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.
98% of Derby 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 Derby 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 Derby 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 Derby.
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 Derby 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.
