“Great communication. Sent us pictures almost every other day. Gave our pet his medication. Has a beautiful backyard where the dogs can run and enjoy themselves. Kind and friendly. Holy recommend her”
“Mark did an amazing job watching our puppy Chloe for 13 days while we were on vacation! We were so nervous about leaving our new puppy for so long but from the moment we met Mark we knew we made the right choice. Mark sent us updates and pics while we were away which we loved. Chloe played with his other dogs during the day which helped with her ongoing socialization. At night Chloe slept on his son's bed. I know this made Chloe feel loved while we were away! Mark is very flexible. I could not have asked for a better dog sitter!”
“Caring and loving family. She kept me abreast of my pup being sad that we weren’t around, and continued to go out of the way to make sure he was ok, just sad. Don’t hesitate to have them watch your pups.”
“Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.”
“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!!”
“Lennox came home happy and exhausted. A good sign she had a great time with Wendy and her new friends! I appreciated how quick Wendy was to respond and the great care she gave our pup!”
“Sherry provided wonderful care for Denver and Bronco while we were away for 11 days. She spoiled them so much and allowed our family to truly relax and enjoy our vacation.”
“Wonderful experience boarding our dog! Kristen allowed us to do a meet and greet with her cat before booking, to ensure that her home was a good fit. Despite being Christmas week, Kristen was super accommodating and made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with her. She was great at communicating and took amazing care of Raya! ❤️”

“We are so grateful to have found Christine on Rover! She took great care of our dog, who came home the happiest she ever has from a boarder. Between making a new friend in Jax and all the love and attention she got from Christine, we couldn’t be any happier. We look forward to booking again with Christine for future trips!!”

We were very nervous leaving our lil one for the first time, but his experience, set up of his house, and communication skills made it easy for us to trust he would take good care of our puppy. If you are looking for someone to take care of your high energy puppy, Enrique H. is the one!”
About: Hi everyone. I am new to Rover as a sitter but I’ve taken care of different types of dog breeds for 5 years! Dogs are considered to be humans best friends and I treat them like they’re mine! I provide comfort and care and help each dog with anything they may need, ranging from love, to energy and any special need care the owner may have! I alter my care depending on each need to each individual dog! I am comfortable around all dogs. While also having a job as an engineer, I try to make time for my animals even if that means leaving work and coming home to make sure they have everything they need! I also have days off that need to be filled with more joy and more animals! With a lot of free time, I can make sure your fur baby is never alone and bored! I’m also new on rover as a sitter and I’m super excited to start meeting new pets! I have 2 mini golden doodle puppy one named Tobi and one named Rylee. They are as playful and energetic as they can be. I provide them with attention and energy anytime they need/ want and they control my whole world! This would be no different than taking care of your pets too! Every pet deserves love so I will provide that level of comfortability! I adapt to your pets as if they are my own.
“Anjali is absolutely incredible—the best dog sitter we could ever ask for! Poncho completely adores her, and so do we. From the very beginning, Anjali made us feel 100% comfortable and confident leaving Poncho in her care. She is professional, trustworthy, and has such a genuinely warm, loving personality. We never worry for a second because we know Poncho isn’t just being watched—he’s being truly loved. We honestly can’t imagine leaving Poncho with anyone else. When he stays with Anjali, it feels like he’s staying with close family. We are beyond grateful to have found her and cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Great communication; very nice accommodations for the dogs; was very accommodating in dealing with an initial "accident" early in the stay-- kept us up to date with status updates regularly.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Karen! Before confirming the booking, she invited us for a meet and greet at her place, which has a spacious and comfortable room just for boarding dogs. One of the main reasons we chose her is that she doesn’t board dogs from different families at the same time, and her own dogs don’t interact with guests—something that really mattered to us since our 8-month-old German Shepherd was boarding for the very first time. Karen took careful notes, asked lots of thoughtful questions, and made sure to follow our dog’s usual routine. During our two-day trip, she sent frequent photo updates that gave us so much peace of mind. Our puppy was clearly comfortable and relaxed around her. We’ll definitely book with Karen again in the future!”
“Hailey was wonderful and a dog loving person. She updated me with pictures and took care of Tucker’s medication needs. She will be my first choice when in the area again. She has a lovely home and yard.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Meriden is $55

Will was great with my super hyper pup. I know she had him busy and he kept up with her. Was very communicative with me keeping me updated through pics and videos. I feel like my pup was also on vacation while she stood with him. I will definitely rebook again if he is available.
Ive never felt more comfortable with someone caring for my dog. Throughout his stay i could tell Anjali truly cared for him, going so far as to give us some tips to keep our older dog healthy for longer after we picked him up. She updated us regularly woth messgages, photos, and videos to help us feel comfortable too! Couldnt recommend mote strongly!
Luz was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of my dog, Poncho, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Her communication was excellent. She sent daily updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Poncho was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. I highly recommend Luz to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter.

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.
96% of Meriden 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 Meriden 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 Meriden 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 Meriden.
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 Meriden 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.
