“Erika was great to our young puppy. We needed someone to watch our dog on very short notice, because our other Rover sitter had a loss in their family. We are so grateful for Erika for being reliable & friendly.”
“This was my first time using the app, and I couldn’t be happier with the care Laura provided. She was friendly, attentive, and a pleasure to communicate with throughout my dog’s stay. I really appreciated the regular photos and updates—it gave me such peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I would happily use her services again and highly recommend her.”

“If there was a 5+ I would leave it as a review!! Anne-Marie treated Gracie as if she washer own. I was nervous to leave her at first, but Anne-Marie sent us photos of Gracie every day. She also made sure that Gracie got her medicine every day. She is awesome and we will definitely be using her again!”
About: I've been a chorkie mom for 15 years and I'm happy to say Pinky is still going strong! I have 6 years of experience taking care of 2-3 dogs at a time for family and friends, including senior dogs who require a little more care and affection. I love spending any free time I have playing with and caring for animals. I'm a part-time registered nurse. During my off days, I am available to play and care with your fur babies. I am also available for boarding during the week and on weekends but will have to be notified ahead of time. Safety is my priority for pinky which will be the same for your dog. Spacious backyard with cameras surrounding the property. Dogs will not be left unattended at any moment while outside. Out of an abundance of caution, dogs in my care will get an apple air tag attached to their collar. Kitchen counter tops and table will be cleared during their stay to avoid anything potentially harmful.
“Liza took amazing care of our special girl. She was very responsive and demonstrated both confidence and kindness with our reactive pitbull. She’s amazing and we will absolutely be working with her in the future!”
“Our pup had a fantastic stay with Alan & Luis. She was well-taken care of and we got so many wonderful photos of her playing hard with her new friends. We are really happy to have found them and will be booking her with them for future trips. I highly recommend having your pup stay with them!!!”
“Fiona watched my dog Cal for the first time as a boarder in her home. Cal loves being there and it went very well , she was able to read his emotions and react proactively to keep him content which means a lot to me and my sometimes anxious dog. A true pro and I will be using her services again soon. And Cal gets excited every time we pull up to her home ! Thank you Fiona !”
About: I started out pet and house sitting for friends and family in high school, and have done so on and off since. A few years ago I started using pet sitting to travel. That has been great! I can administer easy meds. I’ve trained all my dogs. I have a lot of patience and care animals of all kinds and personalities. Availability: I work primarily remotely, so my availability is pretty flexible, but also based around family, travel, etc. Some weeks I will be working full or half days on site- I will let you know ahead of time. Please let me know what specific needs you and your pets have. I’m confident I can accommodate for most arrangements. For house sits I can come earlier, but for walks and drop in’s I’m available from 9 (maybe 8)am to 9pm Safety basics: Keeping food I myself would be tempted by, is always a good start! I can do dog cpr. I am comfortable giving most meds to most animals. My animals safety is of the utmost importance to me, and your pet’s will be the same. I will follow your rules, and go above and beyond to ensure their safety, comfort, and happiness- in and outside (where applicable) of the home.
“We had a very good experience leaving our dog with Senada for eight days, our first booking on Rover. She loves dogs and keeps only one dog at a time. Her home is safely arranged for visiting pups and is very well kept. She has a spacious, fenced yard and watches the dog carefully while they're outside. She follows desired schedules for eating and resting. She willingly and regularly took our dog on walks. Lizzie came home relaxed and was well cared for at Senada's. We look forward to boarding Lizzie there again.”
“We are so grateful for Philippe! He watched our dogs for an extended amount of time and we couldn’t be happier with the service we received and neither could our dogs. Our Goldendoodle was very anxious but due to Philippe dog handling he’s come back much more relaxed and easier to handle. We will continue to use Philippe as long as he’s available snd we highly recommend him to anyone and everyone who wants peace of mind that their dogs will be taken care of with love and care!”
“Brianna was such a fantastic dog sitter. I could tell from the meet and greet that she was very caring and experienced with dogs, and I really appreciated all of the amazing pictures updates throughout the session. I am extremely happy that my dog had the chance to meet Brianna!”
“Kelly was amazing taking care of our two dogs for an extended weekend. She was highly communicative and sent us lots of updates and pictures throughout our trip. Kelly has a beautiful and clean home, and huge yard for the dogs to run and play. Her dog Dutch was amazing with both my 70 lb male and 30 lb female dogs and has a very gentle easy going temperament. My dogs both came home very relaxed and happy. I would not hesitate to bring my dogs again if needed and I highly recommend Kelly’s to anyone looking for exceptional dog sitting.”
About: I've raised dogs, both my own and others, since I could walk. I began a dog sitting and walking service when I was ten in my hometown of Portland, Connecticut, and have continued to do so ever since. I've been in NYC for 8 years and I live alone in a very pet-friendly home. I work remotely, too. Super flexible. My own dog passed last year, so I'm looking to start taking care of dogs again after a hiatus. I work full-time and remotely with a lot of flexibility. I make my own schedule and can walk your pup as need be. Currently accepting applications for your dog to be my temp worker, job requirements include looking cute and ideally not barking during meetings (a few hello's are okay). I'm a TLC kind of pet lover. Your dog will be spoiled with love. I also keep a clean home, so you won't have to worry about your dog eating anything not meant for them.
“Thank you so much for your patience with Flash and making him feel comfortable in your home. I really appreciated that you were able to watch him while I was out of town.”
“Emy and John did a great job with dog Hugo, entertaining him, caring for him, and even helping us out by administering some medicine for an ear infection. I especially appreciated how responsive they were to messages - we felt super relaxed on our overnight trip away knowing our dog was in great hands! We would definitely book again.”
“Elizette provided the best care for Winston! He had an amazing time with her 2 dogs running around in the enclosed yard. She did a great job with his feeding and going out schedule. Thank you!!”
About: Decades of experience. I do overnight sitting primarily, but also check ins. I also do boarding at my Connecticut farmhouse on acreage near New Haven. Excellent references. Cat whisperer. Experienced with senior animals. Can provide medication. Short sits and extended long sits of several months. I provide services in both the Greater Austin Texas and Greater New Haven Connecticut areas. Semi retired. I plan my day around the pets needs. I follow the pet owners lead and allow the pet to show me too. The pets are my main focus in my daily and weekly routine. I do mostly overnight sitting in the pet owners home. I sit regularly for many families. I follow the instructions provided by the pet owner.
About: I have experience with animals who have special needs. It can be stressful thinking about leaving your pet. Especially if they are on a special diet or in need of medication. I know how important this is to follow. I work full time with 2 days off a week. However, I live just 10 minutes away from work. I am able to check on your pet during my lunch break. I only take one animal in at a time, unless they are from the same household. I live in a condo. We have plenty of sidewalks and grass areas to walk your fur baby. I will make sure they have their feedings, and leave out water during the day. We will watch TV together in the evening. At bedtime I allow the animal to sleep in bed with me. I want your pet to feel like this is their second home.
About: I grew up being around dogs since I was a young girl. I also have a boxer mix that I rescued 7 years ago. She’s my best friend and we love relaxing at home and going to dog parks also! I have a lot of experience and the heart for taking care of fur babies! I am available all weekends for boarding/sitting/drop ins as I work full time during the week but I can also do drop-ins in the evening if needed Monday-Friday I have 1 fur baby of my own. She gets along great with other dogs/animals. I have a crate if you require/prefer that in certain situations.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Meriden
Maria took wonderful care of our puppy. She came home happy and a few ounces heavier, so we know she ate well while she was there! She also got to play with lots of other dogs, which she clearly enjoyed. Maria sent us lovely pictures of her playing in the grass and leaves—her absolute heaven. We’re so grateful for Maria’s care and would happily recommend her!
Finding a sitter you truly trust is hard, but Will made it easy. He is remarkably friendly and provided the highest level of loving care for our Moe. I was also so grateful for their flexibility and understanding when plans changed. It’s such a relief to leave your pet with someone who genuinely cares. High recommend! My dog absolutely loves him, and I will definitely be booking again. Will is the absolute best choice! Thank you.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Boarding in Meriden is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $50 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 990 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Meriden. About 90% of Meriden sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
