“Kylo had a great stay with Anner! He was really accommodating of some hectic scheduling for the meet and greet, and we were able to see that Kylo would be comfortable for his stay ahead of time. Anner sent videos and some photos while we were away of Ky enjoying the yard and playing with other pups. When we picked Kylo up, he seemed like he had a great time! Thanks, Anner, for taking great care of our slightly older, very goofy boy!”
“Judy was fantastic, very responsive and wonderful with our Violet. Would give her more stars if we could and will def call on her again for future travel.”
“Katie had the best, most nurturing and relaxing experience! When I picked Katie up I could tell she felt secure. Katie can have separation anxiety but she was handled perfectly (walks, pets, a nap). I received lots of pictures and texts so I was comfortable too.”
“Lily took great care of our senior dog Norman! She and her family kept in great contact with us, and met our little guy at his energy level - providing cuddles, soft beds, and calm outdoor time, but also willing to take him out for more adventures when he was up for it. They made sure he integrated well with their sweet dog. We'd absolutely her to watch him again!”
“Judith and her family were the perfect hosts. She made it so easy to book with her timely response and was flexible in accommodating my dog fairly last minute. Our dog is a senior and requires meds. She was very willing to accommodate him and went out of her way to do lighter walks and play. Her dogs and kids were all very welcoming and my dog came home happy, well fed, rested and content. She sent regular updates and photos so we knew he was safe and happy. We are so grateful for Judith and her family!”
“Carrigan is a lovely young woman with a dog whisperer touch. Puppy Sammy immediately sat at her feet as we were preparing to leave her driveway for an overnight trip — his first stay outside of our home/with a non family member EVER. I was worried that he may not take well to the situation, but he adjusted quickly, and Carrigan took him on several long walks which exercised him and tired him out. I recommend Carrigan highly!”
“Irene was wonderful! She kept us updated daily with pictures and videos of our baby, and was always quick to respond. She was also very flexible with meeting, and for pick up and drop off. Would absolutely leave our princess with her again!”
“I can’t recommend enough Kellwin for doing an amazing job, taking care of Khloe. From the very beginning communication was clear and prompt. He created a space for dog parents new to Rover to ask questions and share information. Throughout the entire stay we received regular updates and the cutest pictures of Khloe that helped ease our minds. It was clear that Khloe was happy and in great hands. Should there ever be another need for dog sitting, we will be looking to rebook with Kellwin. Thank you again for taking such great care of Khloe.”
“Our 4 month old puppy stayed with Andrea. Andrea was awesome....and patient. The setup at the house is incredibly dog friendly and safe. We look forward to using Andrea again and are appreciative of the care she gave to our girl!”
“Oslo had a great time with Richard. A lot of playtime and Richard has a great setup with a large backyard. Highly recommended and Oslo will definitely come back.”
“Elvia is the best! Our dachshund loves her and so do we. Super reliable and takes such good care of our pup. We’ve used Elvia for both daytime and overnights and would highly recommend!”
“Tina and her husband took wonderful care of my Lucy. They were quick to respond/schedule a meet and greet and were very receptive of all of Lucy’s personality quirks. They were flexible with drop off/pick up, provided great updates, and were very communicative. Lucy will definitely be back!”
“Rosa always takes great care of Rover. She’s super communicative, sends lots of pics and Rover comes home healthy and happy. Rosa is also wonderfully accommodating and you can tell she really loves our pup.”
“Nandita did such an amazing job watching our Goldendoodle for nearly 2.5 weeks!! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter while we were away, she was so great at providing us updates and pictures. We never once were worried about his wellbeing while being gone for so long. He got plenty of exercise and play, and we can’t wait to use her again when we go away next, knowing he’s in amazing hands!”
“We are so lucky to have found Monika! She is kind, responsive, and it was clear that our dog, Finley, was happy and very well taken care of throughout his stay. We hope to use Monika again and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone!”
“I’m so glad we found Tina. Kallie who can be skeptical about unfamiliar situations seemed to take to her and her daughter right away. Since we rarely leave her for any length of time, we were so relieved that her stay worked out so well. Tina went beyond the call of duty - keeping us updated and sending pictures often, even cleaning Kallie’s eyes and ears. Thanks for everything Tina, and I’m sure anyone would be happy to have their dog stay with you Taffy and Mike Rodell”
“Five stars hardly captures the amazingness of John. He embodies everything you could want in a caretaker for your pup. John takes his role very seriously—screening every dog that comes in, introducing them one by one, and keeping a watchful eye to redirect any undesirable behavior. He’s not only a strong leader but also a great alpha. But there’s more—John is an incredibly kind, warm, and fun dog lover who is genuinely passionate about his work. He cares for these dogs as if they were his own. As a pretty overprotective dog mom, I can honestly say I worried *less than zero* while Danny spent five days with him. It was clear to me that, with John's unique blend of strength and gentleness, Danny was in the best possible hands. In fact, he bolted out of the car right into John’s pack and didn’t look back! I feel so fortunate to have found John (and his amazing dog partner, Pizza!). We’ll definitely be returning customers. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!”

Over 302 pet parents in New Canaan have booked dog boarding
New Canaan dog parents share their Rover experiences
THE CHALLENGE: We're traveling to London for the week and leaving our perfect 4yr old boxer Ridley, who has almost NEVER been away from us (in fact, he's my sidekick 24/7 in my home office business!). Separation anxiety??? THE SOLUTION: Sicily, her family, and their loving care of Ridley!! From our initial "meet and greet" to our drop-off, we had complete confidence in Sicily and her family to both love and meet Ridley's need for attention, cuddling, playtime, and exercise. At our request, Sicily consistently sent us updates, pics, and videos of Ridley's happiness and comfort with his new family, including the attention and play with her children. Sicily gave Ridley everything he loves to do: great meals, attention, tons of exercise, walks and car rides, and even his favorite, long trail hikes. When we picked him up, it was so evident that both Ridley and Sicily loved each other and their time together. Could we even drag Ridley home? We did, but with the knowledge that we will only trust Ridley's happiness while we're away with Sicily and her family.
