Britanny is wonderful. My dog was very unsure and combative when I took her to be boarded. We were not sure that we would be able to leave. Brittany was very reassuring and knew just how to sooth her (and me). It worked out so well and Kiwi really settled in and we were able to enjoy our week secured in knowing all was OK. Photos and texts daily were very reassuring. Thank you Britanny and family!

Ariel has watched Max a few times now and each time has been a great experience. Ariel keeps me updated with photos, has a giant fenced in yard for Max to roam, and accommodates any special care needs! Max always comes home happy! Would definitely recommend Ariel to others!

There are not enough words to rave about Nadjeska. First time leaving our dogs at a sitters house and not a kennel. She made my two dogs feel right at home and was so unbelievably kind especially to my one dog who has anxiety and separation issues. She sent pics and texts constantly and is literally the best sitter out there. I know they will be so excited to return. She made us completely comfortable leaving them with her. Huge piece of mind. Do NOT hesitate to book with her.

Anne-Marie did an amazing job watching my dog, Ralph, for the weekend! She kept me updated throughout and made Ralph feel right at home—letting him snuggle on the couch and even sleep in bed with her. Ralph came home happy, relaxed, and properly tuckered out. Highly recommend her!

Cassandra & Nolan took excellent care of my Rosie girl while I was on a day trip to NYC. Frequent walks, cuddles, playtime, and plenty of photo updates. She enjoyed taking part in their holiday celebration! I will definitely book them again next time I'm in CT.

My Golden had a great stay with Connie and family. She sent photos, gave updates, and we met before at a dog park to make sure our dogs got along. He was well cared for, and even sent him home with a goodie bad with some treats. They are much more like professional caretakers and couldn’t recommend enough.

Davon was amazing. I outreached very impromptu and he was available for a meet and greet with Arya. ( which went well. We reviewed the basics of her care and he made sure to get a full understanding of what is needed to make Aryas stay as comfortable as possible) drop off was nice. He has spacious living accommodations. What stood out is his willingness to work with Arya being that she is a Bully. There are a many false conceptions about this breed. With his family background working with bully’s and pitbull, and his love for animals in general, I had no concerns that Arya was in good care. During her overnight visit, he provided checks up and sent pictures for reassurance. He also introduced Arya to family and friends ( which I love ) being that she is not around other dogs or people, helping her socialize. Picking Arya up was easy. All items returned and she was happy ! I previously boarded her , and when picking her up she was distant, had scratches and limped !!! All in all, 5 stars for Devon. I recommend and will use him again. 🐾💕

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.

Catie and her husband were able to take care of my dog when travel plans changed last minute. I was very nervous with a new sitter but they took great care of Barkley. They sent videos and pictures thru out his stay and were very responsive when I reached out to check on how he was doing. I would recommend them and use again!

My two little Morkies had a great time with Liza. They played with other dogs there and were pampered with lots of TLC. I think they wanted to stay and play when I came to pick them up. I got some cute photos from Liza, and I really appreciated that she enjoyed having them stay with her! I'm sure they will visit her again.

We had a wonderful experience with Teresa and Karina! They kept us updated throughout his stay by sending pictures and videos, which we truly appreciated. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for while we were away. When we picked Jax up, it was obvious he had an amazing time. He kept going back to them for hugs and affection, which spoke volumes about how comfortable and loved he felt in their care. We will definitely be using their services again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, attentive, and trustworthy pet sitters!

Nadjeska was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Ollie! We hired her for the first time recently, and she immediately made us feel at ease. She provides such a fun, loving environment for the dogs, with plenty of opportunities to socialize and play, all while being watched and cared for 24/7. Ollie had a great time playing with the other dogs, and we could tell he was so well taken care of. Nadjeska was also incredibly communicative and sent us photos every day, which meant so much to us and gave us peace of mind while we were away. She is such a sweet and kind person who genuinely loves dogs, and it truly shows in the care she provides. We are so happy we found her and would absolutely recommend her!

Eileen was fantastic with Willie! She fit us in on late notice, still did a meet and greet beforehand, and communicated great throughout. She sent daily updates all weekend and Willie looked so happy in every one. Willie’s a pretty anxious pup, and Eileen made sure she had a “bunker” to retreat to during the rain, plus plenty of outdoor time. 10/10 recommend — Willie will definitely be staying with her again!

Jeanette was awesome! She watched my 5 month old puppy on a last minute booking for a holiday weekend. She even made time to do a quick meet to make sure her dog and mine got along. She is very quick to respond, checked in a couple times a day. My dog was constantly on walks or on some adventure with her she shared plenty of photos. I knew he was in good hands and was very comfortable leaving him with her. I recommend booking with her for walks, overnights, even a few hours during the day she is a very sweet woman who truly loves dogs.

FAQs for Boarding - Guilford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Guilford on Rover is $53.28 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 1,012 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Guilford. 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.

97% of Guilford 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 Guilford 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 Guilford 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 Guilford.

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 Guilford 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.
