“We have booked 3 times (4th coming soon) with this lovely family and were thrilled with how much our Luna fell in love with them. Nadine, Daniel and Noah were the absolute best fit for us and our puppy. Luna received the attention she is used to, played ALOT, went on walks and quickly became a part of their family. We have used the daycare and dog sitting service with them. Very clean house, where Luna could roam and explore. I can not express my gratitude enough for this family and for them taking care of our Luna.”
“Allyson boarded for my two dogs while I went away on vacation. My dogs were really happy and comfortable with her and enjoyed staying at her place. Allyson is really friendly and experienced with dogs. I did not have to worry at all about them during my vacation. I am glad i boarded my dogs with her, and would highly recommend her to care for anyone else’s pets.”
“Bruce was kind and excellent with our goldendoodle for 10 days! He provided an update morning and evening even though I was traveling overseas! Definitely recommended Bruce”
“First time with the strangers, and it was a success! Our old lady was in top condition when we picked her up! Stefanie sent us updates/pictures every day, it was nice to see Ozzi being calm and comfortable. They even provided our dog with a rug for walking over the hardwood floors. Just shows how much they cared! Thank you!”
“As always, Karina was nothing but amazing with my girl, Pixie. She is so patient, warm-hearted, and professional. I can tell my Pixie is loved and well cared for in her care. Thanks so much Katina. 🤗”
“Elizabeth was AMAZING with our dog Gracie, couldn't have asked for a better person to watch her. She kept us updated daily and took such good care of her Gracie didn't want to leave. Can't recommend her enough.”
“Catie and her husband were able to take care of my dog when travel plans changed last minute. I was very nervous with a new sitter but they took great care of Barkley. They sent videos and pictures thru out his stay and were very responsive when I reached out to check on how he was doing. I would recommend them and use again!”
“This is our second time to book the service from Jieun. They were very nice and friendly. They sent us many pictures and videos. Miaomiao likes them and Ollie very much! I would recommend for everyone to let them take care of your pets.”
About: I’ve always had pets in my home and absolutely love caring for animals! I currently have two sweet cats of my own, and over the years, family and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats. While I’m new to Rover, I have hands-on experience with dog walking, feeding, pet sitting, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of opportunities to give your pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I also have a large yard and live in a quiet, walk-friendly neighborhood, making it a great environment for dogs who enjoy getting outside and exploring. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, some playtime and attention during the day, or care while you’re away, I’m happy to work with their routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, following their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I can also take dogs for walks around my quiet neighborhood and make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. When pets stay in my home, I want them to feel as comfortable as possible. Dogs who are comfortable around cats are welcome to enjoy the common areas of my home. For cats, I also have a separate room available so they can have their own quiet, comfortable space if they prefer to be away from other animals.
“They took great care of our dog. She loved running and playing in their large fenced in yard, as evidenced by the photos and videos they sent us (which we much appreciated). Will definitely use them again.”
“She got really good care from this home doggie day care. It was really amazing to watch her thrive around the new friends she made at doggie daycare. Really great communication and lots of updates, pics, and videos while I was away. It seemed every time I started missing my little Chihuahua I got a pic. Great experience and would definitely rebook.”
“My cat had an excellent time boarding here. They had a fantastic space and took great care of him. They are very experienced in cat care, and were very nice, flexible and responsive. They sent plenty of photos and videos and status updates throughout his stay so I was very confident he was well taken care of. I would highly recommend Hazard and will be booking again!”
“Jayme was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and always responded quickly to our messages. We felt so at ease knowing Finnegan was in such good hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and that he had a great time with her dogs. We highly recommend Jayme to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“I highly recommend Skarlett for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. She took care of my dog Kingston for the third time and did a fantastic job. Skarlett was attentive, responsible, and made sure Kingston was happy and comfortable while I was away. I received daily pictures and videos. I'm grateful for her services and will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.”
“Christina was great with our Trixie. She was very attentive to her special needs and very understanding about our concerns leaving our dog for several days for the first time. She kept us informed how things were going and was great administering meds as needed. We have already requested to rebook. Christina has a lovely home and family. Your dog will be safe and well cared for with her.”

Caring, attentive, and detail oriented. These are the words I would use to describe Allyson and her husband, who made a very panicky dog with big separation anxiety issues feel at ease and at home. I received regular updates, and she was very well taken care of during her stay. Would and will book this sitter again!
Our dogs, Luna and Billie, seemed to have a terrific time with Nadine and Daniel. This is the second time they have stayed with them and we couldn't be happier. The girls bounded in and seemed happy to be back. Great communication, lots of walks, pictures and updates. Will happily use them again in the future!!
Stefanie and her family were so wonderful with my dog Winnie. They sent me photos of her having a great time every day and I felt so comforted knowing she was safe and happy. In fact, Winnie had such an awesome time that she didn’t even want to leave when I came to pick her up! 😂❤️
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.

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.
97% of sitters in Derby 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 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
