“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!”

“My dog loves staying with Dyan! We've booked with her several times and it's always a great experience. My dog gets real daily walks and lots of one-on-one attention. Photo updates throughout the stay give me total peace of mind. Communication is easy, and my dog always comes home happy and tired. Highly recommend — we'll keep booking!”


“Maggie was great, she was super flexible and understanding! I’ve never left my dog with anyone before but I felt so at ease with Maggie’s updates and the friendliness of both her & her dog Moose with my boy Cody! Definitely recommend and will book with her again if needed in the future.”

“Our pup Beau boarded with Katie for a week during our vacation and he loved it. Katie is always on top of things and is quick to respond to any questions. Highly recommended!”

“Lisa was great with our young puppy. We couldn’t leave him alone in our house and we needed to find someone who would take him overnight in their house. She was easy to communicate with and let us know how our dog was doing. When we picked him up, he was happy and worn out from playing. We were glad he was safe with her and will definitely contact her again if we need an overnight dog sitter.”

“My dog, Atticus, age 2, had his first full day with Margaret a few days ago. He was very well taken care of including a couple of walks. He was happy to play fetch and take naps after walking. It was easy to tell by his face and composure that he had a great day...there was no visible stress when he returned home. Another dependable companion 'star' in his young life when I am not around! Many thanks, M :)”

“Debra was wonderful with our pup Bruno and made sure we felt comfortable from the start. She kindly did a meet and greet before our trip, which helped ease our minds. On the day of drop-off, she sent thoughtful messages and pictures that gave us peace of mind while we were away. She clearly cared for our dog and sent us proactive updates, including morning updates about how the overnight went. There was one morning where we hadn't seen a message come through so later in the afternoon we decided to check in, and she replied promptly despite having been busy. Overall, we appreciated her care and felt our pup was in good hands. Thank you so much Debra!”

“Brian was great! My dog is very shy and takes some time to warm up and he was so great at getting her adjusted. I received photos showing how she was doing and was all around very impressed. Thank you!!!”

“Nancy was amazing! I think we hit the jackpot having her as our first sitter using the app. She was diligent, caring, responsive, and such a warm spirit. I’d recommend her to anyone seeking a sitter.”

“Nazim is an AMAZING doggy daycare provider. He has a large and fenced in yard for dogs to run around and play. My dog, Koby, loves to run around and play with other dogs. It's his favorite thing to do (besides eat)! He was able to get out all the energy he needed out and found a spot (in the yard) to chill out once he was done. Nazim sent a lot of pictures and video clips of Koby while in his care. I will definitely book another stay with Nazim!”

“Araceli is an amazing pet sitter! Our little guy can be grumpy & challenging at times, but Araceli was so patient & caring with him! We are so thankful to have found someone who understands the quirks of small dogs!!”


“If you need a pet sitter - Pauline is your girl!! I can’t thank her enough for hosting my two dogs in her home for the night. I received photos & an update within 30 minutes of dropping them off - & without having to check in myself - which I absolutely loved & appreciated. I then received updates all throughout the day which is exactly what I needed! She was VERY attentive to the dogs, asked about/followed their normal routine & updated me if she sensed anything was wrong or if the dogs seemed uncomfortable (one of them was exhibiting signs of an ear infection). I know my dogs were well taken care of and enjoyed their stay. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and we are so very grateful to Pauline!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hartford
My family and I went out of town for a week, and Valeria watched our 11-week-old puppy, who can definitely be a handful! She did a fantastic job. She was extremely communicative and reliable, and our puppy seemed happy and very well taken care of the entire time. Valeria was incredibly attentive to everything that comes with caring for a new puppy, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. We had a great experience and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring. We will absolutely trust Valeria with our puppy again in the future!

This was more difficult than I expected. But the ease LeAndra took off my mind was very much appreciated. This was my first time leaving my “Heart” with anyone outside of immediate family and I was stressed. I know how my dog is and even tho he’s a cute little cuddler he’s a frenchie and can be stubborn. I got updates and pictures that made me feel a little better knowing he’s doing good, the communication flowed and I would highly recommend her.

Such a great Sitter. So kind and punctual. Very good with dogs and knows what she’s doing. Kept open communication throughout the stay and I was able to relax knowing my baby was in great hands! 10 out of 10 if you’re looking for someone whose loving to dogs & knows what they’re doing Nevaeh is the person! I will definitely be keeping her as my preferred sitter.

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

There are 852 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Hartford. About 92% of Hartford sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

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.
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.
