“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.”
“She takes good care of our dogs. She cares for the dogs individual needs. I got many updates and pictures of how my dog was doing. Her house and property are set up especially for the dogs she cares for, she gets back to me quickly.”
“Katy and DJ were "above and beyond" caretakers for our boy. They walked him daily, took him on car rides, and sent lots of photos of him playing. They were easy to communicate with, flexible when we had to make a pick-up time adjustment, and sent our boy home happy and tired. They live in a great space to host dogs and Nelson loved his time with their family pets. Highly recommend!”
“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! ❤️”
“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.”
“Scott, Ashley and family take such good care of our 92 lb. Weimaraner, Hank. He has a lot of energy and always does well when with the family. He gets at least 2 walks a day in addition to play time in their large fenced in yard. Hank recently stayed with the family for 25 days which is the longest we’ve left him with any sitter. Everything went very well. Scott is great about sending pictures and updates daily.”
“Mary went above and beyond when watching our dog Dorothy. She made sure ask all the right questions regarding her likes / dislikes and her daily routine. She sent constant pictures and updates throughout her stay, which was so nice to see.”
“Our Ella was so well cared for and spoiled during her visit! We’ll definitely be bringing her again next time we are headed out of town. Thanks for taking such great care of her!!”
“Our pup had a great stay with Rebecca and Matthew! I was really looking for a home with a family that would interact with her regularly, meet her high energy needs and be able to have her in a calm, family environment ~ they were excellent in providing our pup with everything we were hoping for, and they truly went above and beyond! We are so pleased with her stay; with it being our first Rover experience, we were very relieved with the overall experience, and highly recommend Rebecca and her family.”
“Maria & Nayibe are the BEST Sitters! It was so comforting to me to see daily videos and notes every day. They always answered all my questions and I could tell they really cared. I could see that my puppy was so happy and comfortable. He had exercise every day running around in the yard and playing with the other dogs. He had been having some eating issues at home and Maria knew just what to do to improve them. He even gained weight there and outgrew his harness. They had a brand new harness for him when I picked him up. I will definitely use them whenever I go away. I cannot say enough good things about them.”
“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!”
“Ryan was very communicative with us during the time our two dogs stayed with him, and sent pictures over as well. The dogs were happy when we picked them up. I can tell that they were well taken care of when we were away. Thank you Ryan!”
“Maddie loved her time at Angela’s house. She came home tired out for sure. Angela is super responsive and set several pictures keeping us updated. Will certainly rebook with her!”
“Mary and family were great! We were a little concerned with our dog Maya staying at a sitter’s for the first time, but all that concern disappeared after meeting the family. It was clear that they were animal lovers, and that Maya would be in safe hands. We were given photos and updates all throughout the weekend, and Maya looked safe and comfortable with them. Thanks for taking great care of our baby, Maya!!!”
“April and family were amazing! I was nervous at first, however quickly was at ease with all the updates and photos I received. They treated Allie like family and she looked so happy hanging out with them I wasn’t sure she would want to come home! Hahaha”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hartford on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 593 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.
