“Luis was so quick to respond anytime I reached out, and he was nice enough to send pics every day. We look forward to having our Maisie stay with him next time we travel!”
“Jessica is amazing!! She has taken care of my two dogs now on multiple occasions and takes extra special care of my senior pup. I feel so comfortable every time I leave them with her and she sends me updates without me even asking. She is passionate, caring and such a great sitter! I will always recommend Jessica and choose her as my sitter every time!”
“This was Bodhi’s second stay with Katie and her family. They took wonderful care of him and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pet with loving care and attention.”
About: I have grown up with dogs, and have taken care of them since I was 8 years old. At age 22, I became a dog mom to a Rat Terrier- mix with a huge personality named Harley. We have grown together through many phases of life (I am 33 and married now). Over the past decade we have watched many friends’ dogs for extended periods of time. I have experience with many breeds as well as dogs with behavioral challenges, though I do require that they be able to get along with other dogs. I work from home full-time, so I can always be there to keep your pet company! For dog walking, Harley and I go on daily walks to a beautiful park down the street at Westville Lake. We typically do a ~1.5 mile loop on the gravel path around the lake, but can adjust to your pup’s needs! I work from home full time, so can be pretty flexible in terms of scheduling and availability. I take my dog on daily walks, and would do so for yours as well. Because I work from home, I can keep your dog company, and let them out for potty breaks in our fenced in back yard as frequently as they need! I have a fenced in yard and walk dogs daily at our local park. I have one ~25lb dog-friendly dog in the home. I can easily crate either your or my dog, but do ask that your dog is dog- friendly as well!
“Amber was an awesome pet sitter, she had both girls for two weeks and took amazing care of them. She was super responsive, sent lots of pictures, and really loved on them which is all you can ask for.”
“Lily loved her stay with Andrea and Kurt! We are so thankful to have such peace of mind, knowing she is well taken care of and happy to be there. The fenced in yard is fantastic, Andreas dogs Hazel and Penny are now Lily’s pet friends! My husband Dave and I are retired and looking forward to being able to travel. It’s such a wonderful feeling knowing we have a family with a loving home to care for Lily. Andrea is exceptional at sending photos through out the stay, it is very reassuring to see”
“We feel so comfortable leaving our sweet girl Kai with Sue and her family whenever we have go out of town. She is the most caring person and Kai loves going to her home. We never worry because we know she will be well taken care of.”
“As always, Sandra and her husband John are so attentive, caring and loving towards Lulu, they treat her as their own. She truly cares about her and provides immaculate care. Lulu requires medication as well as frequent meals and Sandra is always on top of her care!”
“Highly recommend! Suzanne and family were wonderful, helping Yogi over his initial fears and making him feel part of their family. We received updates and photos during Yogi's stay. We will definitely use again.”
“Brittany was so great about communicating and sending pictures of all the fun activities she did with our lab! She is very hands on and excellent with making our pup feel right at home. We will definitely use again :)”
“Elizabeth watched my two dogs for the first time for two nights. My two seven year old boys are higher energy requiring more attention than many other dogs. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She is incredibly sweet, attentive, and deeply responsible. Both my dog felt right at home from early on and absolutely enjoyed the walks and playtime. She sent me regular updates with pictures allowing total peace of mind. Perhaps more importantly, my two knuckleheads found a new best friend and I found a sitter that will definitely be used again for future needs.”
“Allison is very kind & flexible. Our Sky has anxious fear of big pups and Allison was very kind to make him feel safe. We are glad to have her watch our 2 pups.”
“This is hard to write for a few reasons- 1st- would love to keep this hidden gem of a family to myself BECAUSE MY DOG LOVED STAYING WITH THEM-played with him and cared for him as one of their own. 2nd- there just aren’t words for how we loved the many updates and pictures sent while we were away, helped us keep in touch with how he was doing And lastly, I shouldn’t let it out how wonderful they were at being flexible with us in pick-up and drop-off!!! But it’s ok for now because we have already booked them again for our next out of town adventure?”
“Kimberly took great care of Dodger. She sent photo updates, got him plenty of outdoor time, and made sure he settled in comfortably for his overnight stay. Kimberly was also very flexible with drop off timing, and forgiving when I ran a little late for pickup.”
“Stephen was amazing with our dog, Dakota! He took her for a great ride/walk every day and she had some super comfy places to hang out in their house. He clearly tuned in to Dakota’s personality and helped her feel right at home. We would definitely use Stephen again!!”
“Caylin and her husband were very nice and accommodating and gave daily updates and pictures. Kept contact and answered quickly. I would recommend highly. I would definitely use their services again.”
“Pluto LOVED staying with Marie. She sent many photos and kept me updated on Plutos stay. He was cuddled up in most of the photos and had the best time playing with Marie and her husband. Pluto got so much love and lots of treats during his stay. Pluto will be back to see Marie again soon!!”
“Kate was incredible. Flexible, dependable, great and communication, friendly and very caring. We couldn’t have asked for a better place for our pooch to spend the weekend. She sent us lots of photos and was super easy to coordinate with. We’re so grateful for our time with her and her family. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“Andreana is a great sitter! She has watched my 2 pups many times now and she is always easy to communicate with and very flexible, even when I change timing last minute! The boys always come home tired so I know they had fun!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 870 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Eastford. 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 Eastford 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 Eastford 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 Eastford.
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 Eastford. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 Eastford 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.
