“Hazard was extremely communicative! We received so many pictures and updates I never had to wonder what he was up to. He was welcomed into her home with open arms. He had lots of playmates and returned tired, happy, and well cared for. Will absolutely be reaching out again next time we have a need!”
“Ryan was great with our dog, Sprint! He was very responsive and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the day, which we really appreciated while we were away on vacation. Sprint got plenty of exercise and trips to the dog park every day. I also appreciated that Ryan was attentive and always followed up with questions if he needed clarification on anything related to Sprint’s care. We felt like Sprint was in great hands and would definitely use Ryan again!”
“Laura, Carolina & Enrique were great! I needed a sitter last minute and reached out to them. Luckily they were available. They responded fast, took good care of my pups and they had such a great time they were super tired after I picked them up. Will definitely book again. Thank you!!”
“Dew was wonderful! Our sweet girl can be nervous and uneasy in new situations and Dew was endlessly patient and warm putting her at ease while she was staying with her. Dew sent pictures adn updates to keep us in the loop and was super quick in responding to any questions we had! I would absolutely recommend her and hope to have her pet sit Sankaty for us again!”
“Nicole did a great job watching Libby! She was reliable, caring, and attentive, and it was clear that Libby was in good hands. I especially appreciated Nicole’s excellent communication throughout the time she was caring for Libby. She kept us updated and made the whole experience easy and worry-free. I would definitely recommend Nicole to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet. We would be happy to have her watch Libby again!”
“Sue was great. Really patient and accommodating. My pup was returned to me happy and healthy. Her husband was also very nice and they both seemed very confident and comfortable with my pup who’s a 48lb pittie. Thank you Sue and Franky. We appreciated your care and attention to our fur baby. Sue also sent regular selfies of the pup and was quick to reply to messages.”
“I am so grateful to have found Jay! I have a senior dog that doesn’t see or hear well and a really shy dog. I am confident that they are well cared for with Jay. ❤️”
“Jessica and Ian did an amazing job taking care of my pup during my wedding weekend! She has never napped so hard when we brought her home! Will definitely use them in the future of all of my dogs pet sitting needs!”
“Diana and her family were great. They took great care of our baby and took her on lots of walks. Cali was a very happy girl. Highly recommend these people for taking care of your beloved pet.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, from pugs to English Mastiffs! My most recent companion was a German Shepherd, so I’m comfortable with larger breeds. I grew up riding horses and have always had a special place in my heart for animals. I work from home, which means your pup will have plenty of company, attention, and opportunities for potty breaks and playtime throughout the day. My home has a fully fenced yard and no other pets, so your dog can enjoy a comfortable, relaxed environment with lots of one-on-one attention. I’d love to welcome your dog into my home and treat them like family! 🐶 I work full-time from home, so I’m around most of the day to give your pup plenty of attention, company, and potty breaks. I’m generally only out for a few hours at a time for the gym or errands. During ski season, I’m typically away most weekends, so weekend boarding availability may be limited. My home has a fully fenced yard and no other pets, allowing for a calm environment and plenty of one-on-one attention. I’ll prioritize your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine, and I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs.
“I had a good experience with Alena and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable to care for their dog. She stayed in touch with me throughout Dewey’s stay and sent me photos and updates, which I really appreciated. I felt comfortable and confident leaving Dewey in her care and knowing he was being well looked after. I would be happy to have her take care of Dewey again in the future. Thank you, Alena! 🐾❤️”
“My dog Toby had a great time with Gwynne. She sent lots of pictures from his stay and he looked like a part of the family. Gwynne will be my first call to watch Toby the next time I go out of town!”
“Carrigan is a lovely young woman with a dog whisperer touch. Puppy Sammy immediately sat at her feet as we were preparing to leave her driveway for an overnight trip — his first stay outside of our home/with a non family member EVER. I was worried that he may not take well to the situation, but he adjusted quickly, and Carrigan took him on several long walks which exercised him and tired him out. I recommend Carrigan highly!”
About: I’ve been welcoming other people’s dogs into my home for more than 20 years. It started because I knew firsthand how hard it was to leave my own dog when I traveled. I wanted there to be another option for people like me—people who couldn’t imagine leaving their dog in a kennel but also weren’t comfortable having someone stay in their home. What began as something I offered to friends became something I genuinely love doing. There’s something very special about watching a dog arrive in an unfamiliar place, helping them settle in and trust me, and eventually seeing them stretched out on the couch or curled up beside me as though they’ve always lived here. I still miss them when they go home. I board dogs from only one family at a time because I want their stay to feel less like boarding and more like their own vacation. While they’re here, they live with me as part of my household. I work from home and structure my days around them, so they have plenty of companionship and frequent access to my fully fenced yard. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from very small dogs to dogs over 100 lbs, as well as puppies and seniors. They’re welcome on my furniture and, if they sleep with their people at home, they’re welcome to sleep with me. I don’t routinely crate dogs, but I’ll maintain a dog’s crate routine if that’s what they’re accustomed to at home. I require a Meet & Greet before accepting a new dog because I want your dog to be comfortable with me, my home and my dog—and I want you to feel completely comfortable leaving them with me. After more than 20 years, the reason I do this hasn’t changed. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is enjoying theirs, too—living in a home, getting affection and companionship, and being cared for by someone who understands just how much they mean to you. While your dog is in my care, I structure my days around them. I work from home, have my groceries delivered and generally don’t schedule activities that require me to leave them alone. There’s no rigid boarding schedule here—their normal routine becomes part of mine. Whether they want to follow me around the house, nap beside me while I work, play, cuddle or head into the fenced yard, they have companionship throughout the day. While your dog is with me, I treat them as one of my own, with the same love, attention and care I give my own dog. Before a dog stays with me for the first time, I require a Meet & Greet with my dog so we can make sure they’re comfortable together before you leave your dog in my care. I board dogs from only one family at a time, so there aren’t unfamiliar boarding dogs constantly coming and going. My yard is fully fenced, and while your dog is here, I follow your instructions for feeding, medications and normal routines. I don’t crate dogs unless their family specifically requires it as part of their normal routine.
“This was my first time leaving Liam anywhere overnight. I was sad and hoping for the best out of this new experience for Liam. Bruce came out and was Super friendly with him and I could automatically tell he has a special relationship with pups. From booking Bruce was very thorough, making sure I packed everything needed. He also made sure I gave him instructions on Liam’s food. During the stay I received pictures and messages of Liam. It put me at ease seeing him and how much fun he was having on his walks. I picked up Liam and he Wouldn’t stop jumping on Bruce and wanting pets, that was a sure sign I made the right choice with Bruce. I couldn’t recommend him more.”

“Katia is very loving and warm, took great care of Mochi while I was away. She’s very communicative and sent me how Mochi was doing along with pictures every day. Mochi seemed to have had a wonderful weekend with her and her pup! We felt safe and comfortable with her and I would 100% ask her to look after Mochi again!”
“Joe, the dog-whisperer, did a great job for us. We had used him a couple of times for a night or two and we were going on a two-week cruise. We had him stay at the house with Barry, our beagle. He located himself in our finished basement suite, brought his own provisions and was very respectful of our house. He got Barry to fetch and was working on "paw" with him. We got great updates while we were away. He and Barry got along great.”
“First thing- Meghan was great! Finn states with her fior 4 nights and I couldn’t have asked for more out of a sitter. She communicated well with us during his stay and is overall a very kind, responsible sitter. I will (and I’m sure Finn) be looking forward to booking with her in the future!”

Rusudan and her entire family were great with our dog Sammy. They took amazing care of him and gave him lots of love and attention. Rusudan was also great with sending photos and very responsive to my texts so I did not need to worry about Sammy while we were away. I highly recommend Rusudan and will be happy to have them take care of Sammy the next time we are away!
Erin is fantastic. She's been helping me take care of my brother's dog while he is in and out of the hospital. (Sadly, my dogs and my brother's do not get along). I had been rotating his and my dogs back and forth in a kennel (which I love), but finding Erin has been the best thing that could have happened in this difficult time. Duke get's daily walks, enjoys being home all day with Erin, and gets tons of play time, pets, and snuggles. I would definitely use her again.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Georgetown can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Georgetown 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 Georgetown.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Georgetown. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Georgetown 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
