“Laura was excellent. She has a wonderful home for dogs and it almost felt like dropping my pup off for summer camp. He came back looking happy too. Laura was friendly, punctual and asked good questions on how to take care of my dog.”

“Nadjeska was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Ollie! We hired her for the first time recently, and she immediately made us feel at ease. She provides such a fun, loving environment for the dogs, with plenty of opportunities to socialize and play, all while being watched and cared for 24/7. Ollie had a great time playing with the other dogs, and we could tell he was so well taken care of. Nadjeska was also incredibly communicative and sent us photos every day, which meant so much to us and gave us peace of mind while we were away. She is such a sweet and kind person who genuinely loves dogs, and it truly shows in the care she provides. We are so happy we found her and would absolutely recommend her!”

About: 🏳️‍🌈 I've lived with and taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. Starting off in apartments where they needed to be walked multiple times a day. I've had my own dogs for the past 16 years. From puppies to seniors on daily medications, I've taken care of it all with my own doggos. We recently lost our doggy siblings, Tegan and Sara in May and July 2022 at 15.5 years old. We currently have a 4 year old rescue named Oswald. I live on 3/4 of an acre with a 5' chain link fence surrounding the back yard. I also work from home, so I'm always here. With your permission, I may even take your pups on adventures while in my care! I do require a meet and greet to make sure our pups do well together and so you can see the house and yard your doggo will be staying at. It is what I would want for my own dog, so I will always provide it for you. I will also send a ton of pictures while your baby is in my care! 🏳️‍🌈 I work from home 9-5:30 M-F. Your baby will get to go out whenever needed in my fenced yard and I will give them love in small breaks during my own work day. They will not spend their days in a crate as I am here to keep an eye on them. I have a fenced yard. I do have a very dog and person friendly pup of my own who will be happy to play with your pup, too, as his favorite place is his doggy daycare (he's well socialized). We have few stairs that need to be climbed, 1-3 off our deck (we have a few entrances on the deck) that can be adjusted by closing deck doors as needed for seniors.

“Our pup was in great care with Elisa and her family for a week while my family and I traveled. Elisa provided updates showcasing our pet’s happiness, comfort, and playfulness in her home. After sharing that our dog has congenital knee issues, Rob, her partner, even installed another step on their dog ramp for our dog to climb up comfortably. We hope to rebook with Elisa again when needed!”

Katie’s girls were super cute with Bear and she enjoyed all of the extra pets and attention. We’d 100% recommend Katie to anyone and look forward to having her watch Bear again in the future.”

About: I have a lifelong love and experience caring for animals of all kinds. Growing up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, cows, horses, and chickens, I learned early on that every animal has its own personality, needs, and special way of communicating. Today, I have a dog who is truly part of our family, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved pet. I know the uncertainty that comes with leaving your furry family member in someone else's care, and my goal is to provide the same love, attention, patience, and compassion that I would want for my own dog. Whether it's playtime, walks, companionship, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable, I'll treat them like one of my own. Your peace of mind and your pet's happiness will always be my priorities! I love spending time outdoors, going for walks, and making sure animals feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I'm happy to adapt to their individual needs. Whether it's walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I approach every visit with the same care and attention I give my own pets. My goal is to make pet care a seamless, positive experience for both you and your furry family member! I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their surroundings. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is to provide a nurturing, stress-free environment where they receive the same love and attention I give my own dog. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel loved and cared for while giving you complete peace of mind.

“As a pet mom whose dog is basically her child, I cannot say enough wonderful things about Paola and her family. Finding them has been a true blessing. Before booking, I had never left my dog, Reggie, with anyone other than family in the four years I've had him, so I was understandably nervous. Paola took the time to meet with us beforehand, and both her family and her dog, Rolly, quickly bonded with Reggie. I have since booked with Paola a second time and continue to be impressed by her thoughtfulness, responsiveness, and communication. She regularly sends photos and updates, giving me complete peace of mind. I am confident that Reggie is loved and cared for as if he were their own. I wholeheartedly recommend Paola as a pet sitter and look forward to booking with her again. I know Reggie will always have a wonderful time in her care.”

Bev was incredibly friendly, attentive, and so accommodating when I needed a sitter on short notice. Communication was effortless, and I could tell right away that my dog was in kind, knowledgeable hands. I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with them. Highly recommend Bev to anyone looking for a thoughtful, trustworthy sitter!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Moodus

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Moodus is $66 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 and $80 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.

As of November 2026, there are 861 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Moodus. 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.

95% of sitters in Moodus 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 Moodus 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 Moodus.

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 Moodus. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 Moodus 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.
