“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!!”
“Christle is the best. Our dogs absolutely love going to her home and she treats them like family. We are very lucky that we have someone we feel so comfortable leaving them with when we can’t take them with us.”
“Summer was amazing with our dog, Abby. She provided pictures and updates regularly. Abby seemed really comfortable when we took her to meet Summer. We appreciate all of the snuggle time Abby got and will not hesitate to leave her in Summer’s care again! Thank you for everything, Summer.”
“Morgan was super helpful when I needed a sitter on my road trip! She was so good with Molly and helped out extra since Molly wasn’t feeling the best on my trip and eating irregularly”
“Brittany was Great and accommodating with both of my dogs Luna & Ash! My dogs definitely had a wonderful time and Brittany followed instructions to feed and take care of my girls when I was out for the weekend! Definitely be booking more time with her :)”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Caitlin and the care she provided for Mocha. From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease. Caitlin and her family are genuinely kind, warm, and attentive, her children were especially sweet and gentle, which meant so much to me given that Mocha is an older dog. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates, including photos and videos, and it was clear that Mocha was not only well cared for but truly happy and loved. That level of communication and reassurance made all the difference. As someone who was initially very hesitant about using an app to find a dog sitter, I feel incredibly lucky to have found Caitlin. She followed every instruction, treated Mocha with such care and compassion, and went above and beyond in every way. I am beyond grateful and would absolutely trust her again. Highly, highly recommend.”
“Ifan was awesome, looked after my best bud for 2 weeks and my pup loved every minute of it. Ifan was very responsive as well to questions and sent timely updates. Will book again for sure!”
About: I have over 10 years of personal and professional animal caregiving skills. Exotic pets are welcomed and I have some of my own! I love caring for animals and I’m happy to be responsible for any/all animal care needs. I have a flexible schedule and a reliable SUV! I have animals of my own who are on set schedules. I can fit in dog walking and check ins on any weekday while balancing my own home/care. I interact and play with any animal that I meet! I love meeting new friends and I’m happy to feed and walk multiple times a week/day if needed.
“Triba is the best thing that could happen with a super worried cat mom, she arranged our video calls while I was away. She loved her like her own, she is definitely becoming her foster mom permanently ?”
“Heather’s house is a great place for dogs! My pups enjoyed meeting new friends and Heather was very accommodating on scheduling. The dogs are looking forward to their next visit.”

“Nazim is super easy to work with, and my dogs clearly love him. In general, I don’t like leaving the dogs alone, but I feel great about leaving them with him. Nazim understands and likes dogs. Ten out of ten, would book again.”
“I'm so happy I found Angela (khanh) and Tommy before traveling halfway around the globe. After our meet and greet I knew I could relax on vacation knowing my pup was in good hands. Angela has that motherly instinct for all dogs big and small, and Tommy is an experienced dog groomer. I got picture and video updates everyday, I felt like my dog was at summer camp and she would never want to come home! I know she got lots of love and exercise and she will be coming back again.”
“I am a Rover host myself, but needed to find 1 night's accommodations for a long-term boarding. Patti and hubby were great. Kept me updates with pics and narrative, and gave willow plenty of exercise and fetch in their fenced in yard.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Ellington is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ellington
First time using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier! Frannie was recently boarded at a facility for one night, and after picking her up, I honestly questioned whether I’d ever board her again—until meeting Lauren. She provided a comfy, cozy home with plenty of room to run and play. She’s very personable and truly treats your dog like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Frannie was in such great hands! Thank you again❤️

There are 740 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Ellington. About 91% of Ellington sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
