“Cheryl and Josh did an outstanding job of taking care of my “fur baby”. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my dog was in good hands. Great communication and they sent lots of pictures. Would definitely book them again.”
“My dog had a wonderful time at this house and I received many pictures of her having fun. The family was also accommodating to our needs when we had some trouble getting back at the time we predicted.”
“Christiana and her family took excellent care of Nola while we were away. She sent daily pics & updates which made us feel at ease that Nola was being well taken care of and enjoying her stay. We will definitely have Nola stay again! ❤️”
“Rebecca and her family took excellent care of our dog Evie while we were out of town. She was wonderful at communicating—sending us regular updates and adorable pictures that really helped us relax and enjoy our trip. We could tell Evie was happy, loved, and getting plenty of playtime and attention. Communication was spot-on from booking through drop-off, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. We’re already planning to book with Rebecca again next time we travel—she’s our new go-to sitter! Highly recommend Rebecca and her family to anyone needing a reliable, caring pet sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Scott & Ashley were wonderful. They took in our dog Kiko and my daughter's dog Ellie, while we were all on vacation in the UK for 10 days. They sent daily updates with photos and they have a great yard for dogs with a fenced in backyard. Scott & Ashley took both dogs for walks twice a day and the although we brought crates for both dogs, they ended up sleeping with both of their boys, which was fine with us and I'm sure Kiko and Ellie loved it! We will certainly contact Scott & Ashley through Rover.com, when the need arises again.”
“I have used Monique twice now to set a pretty energetic little dog. She has been so responsive, so accommodating, and so caring for my sweet little pup. I love that she sends pictures and updates about how my pet was acclimating to the new setting. Highly trust and recommend Monique and I can’t wait to use her again!”
“Gianina was a great host to Kona! She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend! She had a great yard for him to explore, and she took him on nice walks. We will definitely book with her again if we travel!”
“Would definitely recommend Amanda as a sitter! Easy communication, easy to book, I appreciated the couple check ins during my dog’s stay! My dog came back looking well taken care of, happy, and tired from her exercise! Will definitely be using Amanda again!”
“This was Remi’s second time with Marie and her family and he did great! I don’t worry anymore if we have to go out of town and Marie is available. She is great at responding and truly cares for your pet. I highly recommend her!”
“Katy and DJ are wonderful! They send lots of pictures. We know Emme is in good hands. Love that they work from home and someone is always there. And they let Emme sleep on couch :)”
“First stay for Millie and exceeded our hopes! She had fun and lots of snuggles and attention. Loved all the photos sent each day while we were away. Can’t wait to book her next stay.”
“Yolanda and her family did a wonderful job with Gizmo. It was our first time leaving him for a week and with someone through Rover. Yolanda's patience, kindness, and experience brought me relief knowing that my dog was in great hands. She did everything possible to calm my anxiety-ridden fur baby and made him comfortable; kept me updated and was responsive; sent me photos; and was very easy/flexible to work with. By the end of the week, Gizmo was playing with other dogs and taking long walks twice a day, which he never does! He's been home for almost 24 hours and I can tell he misses Yolanda, but mostly, he's been sleeping like a baby. LOL. I couldn't thank Yolanda and her family enough. I finally found someone who was willing to take in my dog and refused to give up on him even when times were hard. I highly recommend her services! I've found my FOREVER dog sitter :) Thank you again Yolanda!!”
“Cari and her family did a wonderful job taking care of Russell. He got lots of walks, plenty of play time, and tons of snuggles. He especially liked playing with the girls. Will definitely use her again.”
“I cannot say enough about Maria and Nayibe. I’m very selective about who I allow to care for my dog and I can 100% say that I made a good choice. Throughout the weekend, I received updates, pictures and video which really put my mind at ease. Thank you so much and I will be using them again!”
“Angela kept our senior dog over a long weekend while we were out of town. She was super attentive and sent lots of pictures, putting our mind at ease. She clearly loves dogs and we knew our pup was in loving hands! I would definitely use her again and recommend her without any hesitation!”
“Brittni & family were the best dog family we could ever ask for! Luna got along great with their dogs and kids. Brittni sent pictures of Luna with the family and out on walks. Highly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hartford on Rover is $41.63 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 596 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hartford. 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.
84% of Hartford 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 Hartford 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 Hartford 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 Hartford.
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 Hartford 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 WI 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.
