“Cheryl was great with our dog Ellie and our cats! You could tell she really cared about our animals and took the stress of leaving them alone off of our plates. We will book with her again!”
“My puppy loved his time at Ms. Monique’s house. He acted like he was at summer camp with all his new friends! Monique was very professional and covered all the bases with information and a meet and greet prior to booking. She provided me with daily updates and truly cared for my baby while I was out of the country. She gave me peace of mind which is priceless. I definitely will be booking with her again :)”
“Mary was once again so wonderful to work with. She was so flexible with our travel schedule! The dogs did great! I'm sad that we have moved and won't be close to Mary anymore, but I would highly recommend her services. Especially for smaller senior dogs!”
“These are the best people - our second time using them and they go above and beyond to care for our sweet boy. Daily walks, car rides for pup cups, adorable pictures, and a confidence that they love dogs and will treat them well. My kids keep saying that this is dog summer camp. Don’t think twice about booking!”
“This was my first time using Rover. I couldn’t have picked a better family to look after my 2 girls while I was out of town. Scott sent picks and videos every day while yo was gone showing how much fun they were having.”
“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.”
“Marie took wonderful care of our dog, Ace, while we were out of town for a week. She sent daily updates with photos. He got lots of walks and playtime in her big yard outside. He also enjoyed playing with the other dogs and was able to sleep on the couch just like he does at home. It was so nice not to have to have him in a kennel. I would not hesitate to rebook with Marie!”
“Thee Best Sitter out there. Partner has stayed with Doreen many times now. He loves it there. He's always excited. Doreen is just the kindest person you'll ever me. She treats our pets as if they're her own. Cannot say enough good things about her. Thank you so much.”
“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!”
“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”
“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.”
“We utilized Angela for a second time. I’m so happy to have found her. I would highly recommend her to any family or friends. Thank you for another great stay, Angela (and your daughter, too)!!”
“Rebecca and her family took such good care of our pets that we never had to worry that they were not loved & cared for. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a warm and friendly environment for their furry family member.”
“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! ❤️”
“Micah was fantastic! Kepler was well taken care of and had a very exciting stay playing with her dogs Teddy and Echo. Micah is very loving and created a very welcoming and fun environment for our pet/baby. We will definitely use her again.”

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.
