“Eva was wonderful with Tiana! I highly recommend her. She took Tiana on many walks and just loved her. It is so comforting while you are away to know that your pet is being so well cared for.”
“Mary Jo took great care of millie on our long weekend up north in NY. Millie needed medicine administered during her stay and Mary Jo took good care to be sure she received it. We had forgotten to bring our dogs food and Mary Jo had spare food she graciously provided. Millie is happy and well brushed by her family. Thanks for caring for our Millie! Will use Mary Jo again:) Nice walking neighbor hood , large house, and large unfenced yard:) Great family! Rebecc and Bill”
“Christina was great! She was super responsive, sent regular updates, and has an awesome indoor and outdoor setup for dogs. She followed all care instructions and clearly loves and takes great care of dogs. Would definitely book with her again! 🐾”
“Serenity offered to meet our pups prior to their stay with her. She sent regular updates to let me know how they were doing. When we picked them up they seemed at ease. I will definitely reach out to her again when needed.”
“Dana was great! We just picked up our two dogs after a long weekend away… they were well taken care of and spent their days playing with Dana’s other dogs. They had a blast! Dana updated us with pictures and texts throughout their stay and kept us informed.”
“Brittany and her family were wonderful to Enzo. It was a great vacation for him he was well supervised and had a few buddies to play with. We will be happy to leave him there again.”
“My dog Hank had a great stay with Sydney and her family! He doesn't get along with every dog, but he seemed to have quite a bit of fun with their little guy Knightley — despite a considerable difference in age and size! (Approx. 15 lbs. vs. 85 lbs.) Sydney was very communicative and gave me daily updates on how Hank was doing, along with pictures, for the week that we were gone. I would definitely recommend her for boarding!”
“I can not say enough about Beryl! She made me feel at ease immediately and welcomed our pup with open arms! She sent us pics and sweet messages while we were away and made us feel our pup was king of the castle. Our little guy was clearly comfortable and happy upon drop off and pick up. I 💯 recommend Beryl.”
“Beverly was absolutely amazing to work with! This was my first time leaving my dog using Rover. I was very nervous, but Beverly made the process so pleasant and stress-free! Throughout the whole weekend, Beverly kept me updated on my dog with adorable pictures. My dog came home in a great mood and clearly had a wonderful weekend! Beverly also owns a donkey which made me nervous at first because I didn’t know how my dog would handle it. But there was no issues at all. My dog didn’t even bark at all, and the donkey was extremely dog friendly. I would 100% recommended using Beverly for your next getaway and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Kristen & her pup, Stella were welcoming & kind to our elderly Westie. We had a lovely meet & greet, Kristen was an exceptionally responsive, clear communicator & sent us pictures of & updates about our dog’s stay. Thank you, Kristen!”
About: I currently work from home, so your pup gets plenty of company and attention throughout the day rather than being left alone for hours. Our days can include walks, playtime, backyard time, cuddles, or simply relaxing nearby while I work. I have a 2-year-old Black Lab/Boxer mix who is very friendly and loves having other dogs around. We also have a fully fenced-in yard where the dogs can safely get some fresh air, play, and stretch their legs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I’m happy to follow your pup’s normal schedule as closely as possible—including meals, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I also love sending photo updates, because I know how reassuring it is to see that your dog is happy and doing well while you're away. ❤️ Whether your dog is energetic and ready to play or prefers to curl up and relax, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and companionship. If your pup is looking for a comfortable home-away-from-home, I’d love to meet you both! Because I work from home, your dog gets plenty of company and attention throughout the day!

I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can see how your pup is doing while you’re away. 🐶 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I work from home, so I’m able to provide plenty of supervision and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for long periods.

I always make introductions gradually and pay close attention to each pet’s personality and comfort level.

“Artemis was very happy in photo updates wa received and was happy at our return as well as seemed sad to be leaving as we drove away. Starla was very kind and informative and will definitely use her again with our puppy needs”

There are 355 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Gales Ferry. About 91% of Gales Ferry sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

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.
