“Christle took great care of Peabody! At the meet and greet, she gave lots of information and answered all of my questions- I felt so comfortable leaving Peabody with her! Peabody and her dogs got along very well and had a great time playing together. When I picked Peabody up, he was so relaxed and happy. It was obvious that Christle took great care of him. Needless to say, I will be going to Christle again for any of Peabody’s boarding needs.”
“Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”
“Corby had a wonderful time with Andrea and her family! She was great with communication and I picked up a very happy dog at the end of my trip! Thank you for taking such good care of my boy!”
“Inam and Jennifer are so wonderful and flexible. They met up with me and my pup (Frankie) before boarding her for the weekend and were very flexible and communicative around drop off/pick up times. Frankie had a wonderful stay and is excited to go back to stay with Inam and Jennifer soon!”
“We highly recommend Ricky for your pet-sitting needs! He took great care of our older Yorkie. He provided daily updates and feedback, along with photos. The feeding instructions and medication were followed without any issues, and our little one returned happy and healthy. Excellent stay :-)”
“Alan and Luis did a great job with my big ball of fur while I was on a business trip. They sent me lots of pictures which is and updates which is a great thing to have. They let me know how she was playing with other dogs and settling in. She has some slightly unique feeding needs and they didn't bat an eye. I was very happy.”
“Amazing job!! She took care of my Luna with love and care. Luna came back so tired and sleepy. She has been sleeping for 2 days now, so she must of really worked her and played with her. You can tell she had a really good time over there”
“Triba was wonderful and so professional to work with! We really appreciate how she handled our dog with separation anxiety - she made him (and us) feel comfortable with a day-long boarding.”
“Hoaran was great and her communication was excellent! We appreciated that she took Roman to the dog park to make new friends! She took lots of photos and made my husky feel like he was part of that gang! He can’t wait to hang with Hoaran again!”
“I highly recommend Klaudia. She did a great job with our dog, Macy. Klaudia has a kind family and two sweet dogs of her own. She sent several pictures, which I loved. I could tell our dog was comfortable and happy with Klaudia. I was worried Macy may not want to come home with us! We will definitely be coming back in the future.”
About: Ive been a dog owner all my life and have pet sat for many family and friends. Young or old, I love dogs and am ready to take care of your furry companion like they were one of my own. I am currently pet sitting full time, so I can watch your pet throughout the week or weekends as needed. Just walks are available throughout the day too. I have a fenced in back yard, as well as a medium sized crate for crating if needed. I currently don't have any pets of my own, but plenty of toys an activities for a fun doggy day! I also live close by a few parks and dog parks that can provide a nice field trip.
“Noel and his family were absolutely incredible! With two senior dogs, one of them having recent health challenges, we had a few big asks with medication administration and attentiveness. Noel, his wife, and his son took great care of our pups and updated us thoroughly throughout the weekend to give us peace of mind. We’re so grateful!!”
“Janelle is a wonderful pet sitter! She provides a safe and loving home for our pup when we travel! She sends pics and updates and gives us the peace of mind that our boy is in great hands!! Highly recommended!!”
“Katie and her family were wonderful sitters, giving updates and pictures daily as well as quick responses when messaged. They gave our dog lots of attention and cuddles, even bringing her with to their family Christmas! They also helped fill her stocking with toys and goodies, which our dog is still happily playing with. I would recommend Katie to anyone!”
“Kristin was wonderful with our dog, Houston! He was a shy and nervous dog but settled in so well! We were surprised by how comfortable he was in her home. She sent videos and pictures daily and it made our vacation so much more enjoyable knowing that he was in great hands! Thank you again!”
About: I love pets, they are the cutest addition to our lives. I have a dog of my own, she is 2 1/2 years old, very playful and friendly. I have had pets since childhood and love taking care of them, we have a house and a fenced yard, hence your pup is safe to play outdoors whenever they want. They are allowed on furniture too. Will love to take care of your precious little baby 😊 I work from home few times a week and my mom stays at home full time, so someone is always there to play with your pups and to take care of them. I have a fenced yard so they are safe when playing outdoors, I can take them on walks weather permitting, if they like to sleep in their crate they can do so too, potty breaks according to their schedule and have fun indoors. Will love to give them a safe place when they’re away from home 🏡

We had a great experience with Lisa . Our two dogs came home happy, exhausted from all the fun, and freshly bathed, which we really appreciated. It was clear they were well cared for and treated with love. We were very pleased with the care they received and would recommend Lisa.

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 East Hartford 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 East Hartford.
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 East Hartford 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.
