“Nicole was absolutely amazing!!! She was so responsive, sent lots of pics and I’ve never seen my dog so happy in someone else’s home! 10/10 experience!!! Thank you Nicole for taking such perfect care of Misha!!!”
“Lovely experience leaving my foster pitbull with Yvette for a weekend. Right away I noted her nice calm demeanor. Maggie is a very nervous dog, but she responded well to Yvette on first meeting, so I felt good about that. Yvette also has all the needed supplies, lots of toys and a crate, which was nice because Maggie likes to have a place to feel safe when she’s nervous. I would feel very comfortable leaving Maggie with Yvette again. :)”
“Janice takes wonderful care of our labradoodle Gus! He loves to stay with her, and gets so excited when we arrive. Janice always provides updates and shares photos of Gus so we can see how he's doing when we're out of town. We love knowing he's safe and comfortable when we have to travel.”
“Donna and her husband were both great. Very thoughtful and generous with Dakota. She has three dogs of her own and they were very well behaved and welcomed Dakota in. Thank you so much!”
“Candice was kind, caring and responsive. She took the bestest care of my dog, Bruce, and was so patient with me and my husband even though we booked her totally last minute. I cannot wait to book her again!”
“So happy to have found Annette. She is such sweet, animal loving person. Our little Pomchi, Keiki, had a fun time with her and her dogs. Thanks so much Annette. Will definitely come again! ❤️”
“James and family were wonderful with our dog, taking him in for a week while we went on a recent trip. His communication was thorough to assure us that things were going well, along with any questions about his care as needed. It was evident that our dog endeared himself to their family and had a great stay. We would definitely recommend James for any dog sitter needs and would rebook him as a dog sitter for future occasions”
“We had a family medical issue and was able to book Jacqueline quickly. Our dogs are both rescues and it matters a great deal to us who we bring into their lives. Jacqueline immediately made us, and our dogs, feel comfortable and within 5 minutes of being with them, our eldest was resting in her lap. Jaqueline sent constant photos and updates and we are very grateful to have found her and will for sure book her again. TY again, Jaqueline. That last note was from the pups!”
“Cristian went above and beyond to make sure i felt 100% comfortable while i was boarding my pit mix Nala for 11 days for the first time. Nala even sadly got a pretty severe UTI during her stay and Cristian was so on top of it with photos, concern, and ended up even taking her to the vet for me and getting the care she needed. Even with a 6hr time change he managed to keep up with great communication and updates throughout the stay. I truly couldn’t be happier with my experience. He will definitely be my top choice in the future - no question. Thank you endlessly Cristian!”
“Robin is always so wonderful with our dog, Adelaide. She does regular drop in visits with her so when we need boarding services, Robin is always our first choice! She shows our dog so much care, attention and love.”
“Miranda was lovely to work with for a five night trip. My pup seemed so comfortable and happy, she kept me updated and the process was so smooth! He can have some general and separation anxiety and Miranda was ready to manage anything that came with it. I will absolutely rebook with her in the future.”
About: I’ve lived and worked with both dogs (all sizes) and cats since a young age. Friends and relatives have trusted me to care for their animals on a wide scale from dog walking to in-home stays. Additionally, I have spent time volunteering in animal shelters including fostering dogs from a few days to multiple month long stays working with them to find their forever homes! I am currently working part-time so I have ample time during the day to check-in on pets, take dogs on long walks, and any other care you’re looking for! I have experience with general dog training and crating if needed. I’ve worked with dogs that have a range of needs and am open to following whatever routine you normally follow with your pet!
“Stephanie took amazing care of my two older pups. Her home was welcoming, and her pets had a blast with their new playmates while we were out of town, Stephanie provided consistent updates and photos, we were able to relax and enjoy our getaway knowing they were in good hands. I will definitely be returning!”
About: I have been grooming dogs for over 18 years, and boarding clients' pups in my home for 16 years. My 13 yr old homeschooled son and I adore all dogs. We have 2 wonderful medium sized girls (Myla 8, Josie 1.5) who love all dogs and people! My career in grooming means I truly 'speak dog' and understand their quirks and needs. I have extensive experience with all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I'm comfortable administering oral and injectible medications, as well as supplements. Our dogs eat a raw diet, so food & water bowls get sterilized after each meal. Since we homeschool, we spend a lot of time at home or close by with friends. My son often has friends over who love to play with dogs. This means we have a great balance of calm & quiet time, as well as active & fun time. Our lovely property has Invisible Fence for about a acre, so any dogs trained on it get to enjoy lots of untethered play time. Every dog who stays gets a temporary ID tag with my address and phone number in case of accidental 'escape' We love couch cuddles, and both of our girls sleep in bed with my son. We also have dog beds everywhere, and crates & gates available when needed.
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life. Both in my personal life- and professionally. I have a very big soft spot for older dogs- and have had a lot of experience working with all ages. I have done everything from working at dog day cares, in vet clinics, with seeing eye dogs, housesitting and beyond. Anywhere I can pour love into this world is where I want to be. I am currently working full time but am happy to make sure your pet has everything it needs and more. I do not feel like my work hinders the care I can provide in any way. I work with dogs everyday and understand exactly what they need. I have a 12 year old retired autism dog who gets along with everyone. She is sweet and mellow. I can provide a crate if needed and I can also come to you.
“We’re SO happy we found Ashley! We needed someone last minute to watch our Yorkie, Maverick, while we were on vacation, and man, we really lucked out. From the start, she made us feel so comfortable leaving him with her and sent us tons of pictures and updates while we were away. Each one melting our hearts more than the last. She took such amazing care of Maverick and really made him part of the family. Her son and Maverick became the best little buddies, which was honestly so sweet to see. It made us so happy knowing he was having fun, getting lots of love, and feeling right at home while we were gone. We came home to a VERY happy pup, and we couldn’t be more thankful. We will absolutely have Ashley watch Maverick next time and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will take great care of their fur babies! ❤️🐾”
“Katherine was a great sitter for our dog, Shy. She sent us photos everyday and we could tell from the pictures that Shy was happy and being well cared for. We'll definitely reach out to her for our next trip!”
About: I have raised and trained my own dog since he was a puppy, 5 years now! Patient, reliable, and I treat every pup like family. My schedule is very flexible. I know what it is like to need a reliable and trustworthy sitter to take care of your pets needs. I know how stressful finding a sitter is, so I treat your space with care, follow your routine, keep things safe and calm, and send photo and video updates!
“Fantastic Rover sitter. Flexible & very easy to work with. My small dog always seems to have an enjoyable boarding experience. He is able to share both people and small dog interaction, which is important, since he is ultra social. Have provided me with superb care on repeat occasions; will without question use them a sitter in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 278 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lakeville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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 Lakeville 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 Lakeville 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 Lakeville.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lakeville. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Lakeville 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 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
