“We just returned from a four day trip and couldn’t be happier with Karina’s care of our dog Milo. This is our third time having Karina watch Milo and we have continued to be impressed with her care. Milo started with a lot of anxiety but Karina’s experience in caring for dogs and her special attention to Milo made all the difference. We are so lucky to have found her.”
“We cannot thank Haoran and her husband enough for the incredible care they provided for our little geriatric Yorkie. Leaving an older dog with special needs is always a bit nerve-wracking, but Haoran was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and handled all of our dog's senior care requirements with patience and gentleness. It was so reassuring to see how much genuine care and kindness she demonstrated throughout the stay. If you are looking for truly kind dog watchers who will treat your pet like family, we highly recommend Haoran and her husband. We would definitely trust them with our little one again!”
“My dog had a wonderful day with Manolita!! She’s so kind and caring and made us both feel comfortable! When I picked him up from his stay he was very comfortable and calm, which was a great sign! She also sent pictures and updates throughout the day, which I loved! I highly recommend her!”
“Taylor was great with my Milo pup. I was nervous leaving him as this was his first time staying at a house that was not family. Taylor gave updates through the whole stay and Milo had a great time!”
“Thankful for both Elliot and Mindy. They are easy to communicate with, they send daily pics and have been extremely understanding and flexible when we’ve needed to make last minute booking modifications. We will definitely book with them again.”
“Mallory and James are very trustworthy, caring, and skilled with taking care of dogs. They handled my dog with care and the frequent updates I got left me at ease. My dog came home exhausted from all the playing! Very happy with their care of my dog!”
“My dog had a great time with Jessiana. You can tell how much dedication and care she provided him. She is very responsive and accommodating. 100% recommended.”
“Jessica deserves a 10 Star rating for her amazing care of our boy Harry. Her compassion and timely attention to his needs are beyond what anyone would expect from a pet sitter. We will be forever grateful to her and Alex for the care they provided.”
“Amber was very well taken care of. She had all the physical exertion a retriever needs, in a large fenced backyard, and in the great company of two younger and friendly dogs owned by Erica.”
“We are so grateful for the amazing care you gave our dog! From the very beginning, Careen were kind, reliable, and attentive to every detail. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our dog was in such loving hands. We could tell our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the stay. Thank you for treating our pet like family — we highly recommend your dog care service to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate!”
“Amber and her family did a fantastic job with my buddy Hubert. He had a blast making new friends, cuddling with the family, and even going apple picking. I could not have asked for a better experience for him and am so thankful for how well he was taken care of!”
About: Your pet is not a guest in our house, it’s a loved family member for life! We individually your pet’s care based on its preferences and habits. I am a pet lover working from home who loves the company and snuggles. My kids are crazy about dogs and love them dearly also. We live in a beautiful home with a big fenced in yard but do take the dog(s) out daily to explore in the woods and have fun!
“Melissa was very easy to deal with and our dog Sammy seems to have had a great time with her. Melissa gave us several updates on Sammy and sent us lots of pictures of her adventures. I would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone.”
“Alex is the first person we have left our dog Millie with. As work from home pet parents who hadn’t had her watched by anybody yet, we were incredibly nervous about leaving her with a sitter. Words cannot express how thankful we are to have found Alex (and his family). We received regular photo and video updates and knew Millie was safe and happy our entire trip. Millie had so much fun playing with Leo (their sweet golden retriever) and seemed so comfortable with Alex. I can’t recommend him enough. We hope to continue booking with Alex in the future for all of our dog sitting needs!”
“Aisha was great with my two dogs, who liked her on sight! She communicated and sent photos and I could tell, when I picked them up, that they'd been safe and happy.”

Emma was amazing with Khloe! ❤️ She was very communicative throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Khloe had such a great time with Emma and her pup, and we could tell she was happy and well cared for. 🐶💕 I definitely recommend Emma’s services and wouldn’t hesitate to contact her again in the future. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girl! 🐾❤️
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❤️

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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.
