“Leaf always has a good time at Lauren’s and enjoys playing with her dog Kota. He has stayed there for a dog sitting day and overnights. He comes back tired and happy.”
“Nazim was an excellent sitter for our Coco. He was very responsive and sent lots of pics. Our dog was happy when we picked her up. I was nervous to leave her but she did great and this is an awesome alternative to boarding at a daycare.”
“Our black lab Lily had such a wonderful time during her stay, she was visibly depressed after we picked her up - missing all her new friends! Will never board her at a kennel again, now that we've found her "home away from home"!”
“Jan and Russ were AMAZING with my pup! They made sure to keep me updated while I was away on an extended weekend and it’s the first time I left Bowden for such a long amount of time. They really made me feel comfortable about my decision to board him for my trip! I will absolutely be using them in the future! Thank you both so much!!!”
“Janelle was very kind and caring with our doodle. I received great pictures and timely updates. Her home is well equipped and welcoming for her visitors. I would absolutely leave my dog with her again.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve while you’re away. We currently have a sweet 9-year-old small dog who has been part of my life since puppyhood. I personally raised and potty-trained her, so I understand the patience, consistency, and care that goes into helping a dog feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I’ve also cared for many of my friends’ and neighbors’ dogs over the years. When your dog stays with me, they won’t simply be “boarded”—they’ll be welcomed into a loving home. From the moment they arrive, I’ll treat them like one of my own, with lots of love, attention, playtime, and companionship. I’m dependable, responsible, and will make your dog’s comfort and happiness a priority. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for, loved, and treated like family while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve while you’re away. As a result, my schedule is quite flexible to meet the needs of you and your fur baby I have a very large yard and a 9 year old gentle, sweet dog. Although I have a large yard, I always keep my dog leashed and I would do the same for yours to ensure safety. My home is on a quiet cul-de-sac in a private neighborhood that is perfect for walks.
“Liz was a super sweetheart with our fur baby Ferdinand. He seems to have had a great stay with her awhile we were away. I love the pics she sent it daily, it helped us see that he was safe. Liz's location made it easier for the drop off and pick up as well since it was so close to the airport. Thank you Liz for making sure Ferdinand had a good time. The Rivera Family”
“Our much loved girl was very well care for. Angela sent many pictures and updates which we loved while away. Our girl is a bit of a picky eater and Angeal went above and beyond to accommodate. We would book again.”
“Saskia was Amazing. She communicated throughout the entire trip and sent me Wonderful pictures everyday. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will be looking forward to having her take care of our dog in the future.”
“Maria was amazing!! Our nervous boy was in good hands! Maria was great with our big goofy dog, she gave him the love and attention he needed while we were away. She sent photos and checked in with me often. Definitely highly recommend and will use again! Thanks again Maria!”
“Novelette was amazing with Brody. She was very informative and sent me pictures of her interactions with him. She even began working with him because he likes to pull during walks. I appreciate her love and attentiveness to Brody. I’m definitely booking again!!”
“Brian is amazing with our pup. Our pup feels at home in Brian’s home which is immaculately clean and has the opportunity to socialize with other well-behaved pups during her stay. Our pup is used to 5mis worth of daily walks and Brian gives her tons of exercise, attention and affection when she’s with him! Ohh and I get great pics too.”
“Katie and Storm make it easy. It's a very warm and welcoming environment. My pup Blue enjoyed his stay and seems very happy when we arrive. So glad to have found Katie. Good communication and she's obviously very experienced and comfortable with dogs. My new go to sitter ! :)”
“Carmela was super nice with my elder dog. My chihuahua suffered violence from a teenager and now his behavior is not the best. Carmela was so comprehensive and knew how to manage him to keep him feel safe in her home. I am so thankful that she received my baby in her home for the time I had to travel.”

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 Meet & Greet .
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.
