“Kathryn & Jeremy were great! Their house was cozy and friendly. Our corgi loved playing with their kids and he was definitely tired when he got home. They were great at communication and we felt our dog was safe. Will book with them again!”

“We are so happy to find Khanh and Tommy to care for our Pluto while we are away for 2 weeks. We feel he is in good hands. He receives lot of loves and attentions like at home. My sons are excited seeing daily photos and videos of our Pluto playing with Khanh’s family and their dogs in their backyard. We will use them again and highly recommend their service! Thank you so much!”

“Jennifer and Inam were such great caretakers! I had a last minute trip for work and they were so flexible and accommodating on very short notice. I interacted mostly with Jennifer and I could tell how much love and care she pours into all the dogs. My pup was so sad to see her leave when it was time to go! Thank you for taking such great care of Olivia!!”

“We found Anita and her wonderful family through Rover, and we are beyond grateful for the love and care they provide our dogs. Donnie and Nora absolutely love staying with them, and it’s clear they feel comfortable, happy, and truly at home. Anita keeps us updated with frequent photos and messages, which gives us complete peace of mind every time we’re away. Her family is incredibly kind, and their two daughters adore our dogs—it’s so special knowing our pups are not just being watched, but genuinely loved. We never have a single worry when Donnie and Nora are with Anita, and that level of trust is priceless. We will absolutely continue booking with Anita and her family for all future needs. I highly recommend them and can say with complete confidence that your pet will be in the very best hands.”

“Maria and Terry were wonderful dog sitters. She provided me with pictures and updates throughout Buckleys visit. She also was able to accommodate on somewhat short notice and has a very nice fenced in yard. Buckley was a bit overwhelmed at a new place for many days and was being extremely anxious and difficult. Maria and Terry really tried their best to make his time comfortable and kept us aware of his behavior. They are very nice people who truly have a genuine love for animals. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to use rover services in this area!”

“María took great care of my Coco for 9 days when I went out of the country. María provided constant feedback and pictures. Coco had a lot of fun, didn’t rush to jump on the vehicle to get back home. He was very relaxed like if he just came back from vacation too. Maria was very accommodating when I had to modify the times and dates due to airline last minute changes. I’ll bring Coco back for care in the future ❤️❤️❤️”

My pup Maggy stayed with Mylinda for a week. I could not have asked for a better sitter. She communicated with me when she had a question or concern and sent me pictures every day. I felt Mylinda took very good care of Maggy. I will absolutely be calling again. Thank you Mylinda!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Farmington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Farmington on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 902 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Farmington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

98% of Farmington sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Farmington landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

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 Farmington 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 Farmington.

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 Farmington 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.
