“Anner did an amazing job with my dog Leo. Updates and responses were quick and consistent. The enviroment is loving and nuturing. My dog Leo loved playing in the fenced in backyard. I would definitely use Anner again as well as recommend Anner to other friends and colleagues.”
“Ivon was absolutely amazing. She sent me so many pictures while Ellie was with her and kept me updated on how she was doing the entire time. Ellie will definitely be coming back!”
“Carrigan is lovely. I was very anxious about leaving my havenese dog for the first time but within hours Carrigan was sending me pictures and updates many times during his stay. Made my trip more enjoyable for me! Thank you. Carrrigan.”
“Andrea is wonderful. Our dog was happy and healthy when we picked him up. I love her home and yard--perfect for dogs. There were a few other dogs staying with her, which was a plus for us. Dogs can play all day together and sleep together at night. I highly recommend Andrea and we will definitely book our dog to stay with her next time we travel.”
“John was great with our dog, Milo. He’s very experienced with managing and handling dogs of all sizes. I greatly appreciated scheduling a meet & greet 1st to ensure fit. Our apprehension was having Milo stay with multiple big dogs since he not quite used to that. Milo did great and looked very comfortable staying with John and the rest of the pack during his weekend stay. John sent daily status updates and videos. Will definitely use again.”
“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!”
“I am so happy to have found Lily to watch my dog, Harper, who has separation anxiety. Lily was warm and friendly. She kept in contact by sharing photos and videos. Harper had a great time and I wouldn't hesitate to have Lily as a sitter again. Thanks Lily!!”
“Jorge and his two dogs were fantastic with my Bernedoodle! Excellent communication and regular photo/video updates of all the fun. My dog got lots of exercise and play time, and Jorge even went above and beyond by giving him a bath. Highly recommend and will definitely stay again!!”
“Regi was fantastic. She took excellent care of our baby, Ziggy, and made an effort to communicate with us every step of the way. She sent us pictures throughout the day, gave us updates and made us feel at ease. I highly recommend her!”
“Judy was amazing. She was very patient and attentive with Cary. She was extremely communicative with me and was very flexible with any changes I needed ❤️”
“The absolute best!!! Anastasiia went above and beyond with our dog Oliver. She took him on walks, hiking and to the dog park and sent us the most beautiful pictures throughout the day! She is so sweet and I can tell our dog loved his stay! Don’t look any further…Book Anastasiia!! She is the best dog sitter we have ever dealt with!”
“Richard and his wife are caring and took very care of my dog Paddy. My dog had a couple of great stays and we appreciate the daily updates and photos. We will continue using Richard and I highly recommend him if you are looking for a pet sitter whose house feels like home!”
“Clinton & his son were terrific. Our dog, Ripley, came home very happy. She got along very well with their dog and they kept each other company. We also received photos while we were away which was great.”
“Elaine was wonderful with our two dogs on their first time boarding! She is very professional and knows well how to care for the dogs, and she is also so sweet and caring with them, they could not have been in better hands! They had so much fun and exercise, they came home so relaxed and had a full night sleep, well into the morning. We are definitely boarding our guys with Elaine again!”
“Nandita was absolutely wonderful! We set up a meeting ahead of time to make sure my rescue would get along well with her dog Ozzy and my pup was immediately comfortable with her (you can tell she’s a dog person!) and she helped him get comfortable and acclimate to her space before we confirmed- this really put me at ease. During my dog’s stay Nandita sent regular photos and videos so that while I was away I always knew that my pup was content and happy. She has excellent communication throughout the whole planning and visit and as an added bonus her space is perfect for a dog stay especially her backyard, dog friendly neighborhood, etc. I look forward to booking with Nandita again and really think she is an incredible dog sitter. Thank you Nandita and Ozzy for a great vacation for our pup and I look forward to booking with you again for future trips!!”
“Kevin did an amazing job watching my dog, Jamie, for the first time! He sent me daily photos of Jamie enjoying walks and relaxing in the sun on the balcony, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Jamie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I know he’s in great hands with Kevin, and I’ll definitely be rebooking!”
“We boarded our 8 years old foxhound twice with Farva so far. Zillow came back home happy and well rested. We are so grateful we found Farva. We will definately book again next time we are out of town.”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in New Canaan on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
95% of New Canaan 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 New Canaan 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 New Canaan 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 New Canaan.
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 New Canaan 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.
