“Great with our pup as always. Great updates/photos throughout the stay and always makes us feel at ease about dropping her off. Excellent communication and care. Thanks again!”
“Christopher was kind enough to take my pup on fairly short notice, which I so appreciate. He was friendly, a good communicator, and sent me updates/photos of my dog every day. I can tell Molly enjoyed her stay and I plan to bring her again on my next trip.”
“Anne-Marie and Steve are truly wonderful people with a genuine love for dogs. From the moment we dropped off our fur baby at their home, we felt at ease knowing he was in caring hands. They kept us updated regularly, reassuring us that he was safe, happy, and well-loved while we were away. Since our dog requires daily grooming and a bit of extra care, it meant the world to us to know he was in such attentive and capable hands. We deeply appreciate the love and dedication they showed, treating him as if he were their own. Thank you, Anne-Marie and Steve—we are so grateful!”
“Stephanie was terrific with my dog, Clementine. She knew just what Clem needed. The dropoff and pickup went smoothly. Best of all, Stephanie’s dog Caden was a great playmate. I highly recommend Stephanie, she’s amazing.”
“I am so lucky to have found Jill. She was able to accomodate my needs for a sitter at the last minute and was the perfect match for my dog. He instantly bonded with her son and loved being with the both of them. He was completely taken care of by her and her son for the week and had a great time. Her home is immaculate as well as low key and her fenced in yard was a bonus. I will definitely be utilizing her services again in the near future! :-)”
“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.”
“I really appreciated the care my precious dog received. I was a last minute holiday booking. Nina was shown warmth, flexibility and compassion. This was visible through the pictures I received daily, videos and the puppy report cards. I will absolutely book again!”
“Bianka took great care of our dog Scooby, who presents with many challenges, including anxiety and blindness. She spent a lot of time with Scooby, such as by walking, petting, and playing with him. She even kept him company and played calming music for him when he woke up in the middle of the night. Bianka also sent frequent updates that included pictures. We are so grateful for Bianka!”
“Superb! I felt totally at ease leaving Gabby to Margaret's care. I appreciated her desire to meet Gabby beforehand, and she gave reassuring updates during Gabby's stay. Gabby got a lot of good attention that was documented in photos and messages, and I returned to find her relaxed and calm. I will definitely bring her back to Margaret next time I need dog care.”
“Karina & Teresa were able to watch my baby in a short notice. I am so grateful to them. They were so loving and caring towards Bennett. They ensured he had a home away from home and kept me updated.”
“Mark and his family were the best! First time ever using rover and first time leaving my baby with anyone other than family. We’re from out of state and i felt beyond comfortable leaving Lilly with Mark. Next time we’re back in CT, miss Lilly will be staying with Mark!”
“Milo & Robbie loved Jill & her family (both human and fur-babies). They were clearly happy and comfortable (perhaps a little TOO comfy?? :) And Jill is a great communicator, and was super flexible when our schedule changed unexpectedly.”
“Zuleima and her family were so kind to my pup and took really good care of her. She sent me regular updates and cute pics. My dog was immediately relaxed with her so I knew it was a good fit. I will definitely book her again!”
“Our puppy Salem had a great time with Allyson ! We received updates often, she was kind and totally put our minds at ease . We will definitely be using Allyson going forward when leaving town if we want our pup safe and happy!”
“Our dog Remy had a wonderful time with Yi Jia and her dogs! We are new to the region and Yi Jia made us feel comfortable by walking us through her property / house where Remy would be staying and that gave us a lot of peace of mind. She sent us a lot of pics of Remy playing with her dogs and kept us informed throughout the stay. Remy had an incredible time with her and the dogs and cannot wait to go back!”
“Victoria was terrific in taking care of my dog.....she was very responsive in setting things up and was super sweet when I came to drop Loulou off and pick her up....he family was there too, and they couldn't have been nicer.”
“Gulsah was amazing! She took care of our Mango as if he were her own. He had such a wonderful time and looked so happy throughout his stay. We especially appreciated the almost daily photos and updates—they gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It truly looked like Mango was living his best life for the week! Gulsah will absolutely be our top choice for future sitting, and we couldn't recommend her more highly. We feel so lucky to have found someone we trust completely with Mango.”
“Staying with Erica and Thomas is like a vacation for Bronte! She gets lavished with attention and has lots of fun time with wonderful playmates. It’s her home away from home and I feel very fortunate to have found such great dog minders for my puppy. 🐶😊”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Guilford
We’ve had Nadjeska watch Georgi a few times now and it has always gone smoothly. Nadjeska is flexible, communicative, and understanding of our dogs needs as he can be very anxious. She sends tons of photos and is always available for questions. We definitely recommend Nadjeska to others!
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Guilford is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $72 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Guilford 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 Guilford home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
