“Ashley along with her husband and son did a wonderful job taking care of Brees. Her home is nice and quiet for a small dog like mine who is on the timid side. Ashley took lots of photos of Brees in action while we were away and texted them to me.”

“We found Anita and her wonderful family through Rover, and we are beyond grateful for the love and care they provide our dogs. Donnie and Nora absolutely love staying with them, and it’s clear they feel comfortable, happy, and truly at home. Anita keeps us updated with frequent photos and messages, which gives us complete peace of mind every time we’re away. Her family is incredibly kind, and their two daughters adore our dogs—it’s so special knowing our pups are not just being watched, but genuinely loved. We never have a single worry when Donnie and Nora are with Anita, and that level of trust is priceless. We will absolutely continue booking with Anita and her family for all future needs. I highly recommend them and can say with complete confidence that your pet will be in the very best hands.”

“Superb! I felt totally at ease leaving Gabby to Margaret's care. I appreciated her desire to meet Gabby beforehand, and she gave reassuring updates during Gabby's stay. Gabby got a lot of good attention that was documented in photos and messages, and I returned to find her relaxed and calm. I will definitely bring her back to Margaret next time I need dog care.”

About: Hi! My name is Mahalah, and I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—big and small—for most of my life. I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have a Miniature Pinscher who is quite the ball of energy! He also struggles with reactivity, so I have firsthand experience understanding a reactive dog’s needs, recognizing their triggers, respecting their boundaries, and helping them feel comfortable in new situations. If your dog is reactive, nervous, or takes a little time to warm up, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to take things at their pace and work toward building trust. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, including dogs who needed help getting up and down stairs and those who required daily medication. I understand that older pets may need a little extra patience, gentleness, and attention, and I’m happy to provide that care. Since I’m currently working on Rover full-time, my schedule is flexible, and I’m able to give your pets plenty of attention and treats throughout the day. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely happy while they’re with me. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routine, likes, dislikes, and individual needs so I can give them the best care possible. Whether they’re playful and full of energy, shy and nervous, reactive, elderly, or just looking for someone to cuddle with, I’m patient and always willing to meet them where they’re most comfortable. Caring for my own dog has taught me how important patience, understanding, and building trust can be, and I bring that same care and compassion to every pet I look after. I want you and your dog to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands.

“We had a great experience with Luci’s daycare service. From the start, communication was easy and reassuring. She shared photos and videos throughout the day, which made us feel completely at ease. Dante looked very comfortable and happy, almost like he was at home. It’s not always easy to find someone you can fully trust with your dog, but this was definitely one of those cases. We’re really glad we found her and will absolutely book again when needed. Highly recommended.”

My Teddy did great with Angel and Carolina. We received updates daily. Teddy is a senior dog so I was little nervous but they put me at ease with constant updates. I highly recommend Angel and Carolina to take of your pup. I'm grateful to have found them!

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.

I boarded my cat with Laura a second time - Laura provided regular updates and took great care of her. I suspect my cat may like it more there than at home with me!

Most bookings cost between $30 and $56 per night. 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.

There are 992 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Meriden. About 91% 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.
