I could tell that he was in the best hands, and I appreciated the regular updates and pictures! They want above and beyond to make my anxious dog comfortable and he came up happy and relaxed. I will definitely keep them in mind for future stays as they have my highest recommendation.”
About: I love cats and I have a dog named Jake who is needs some social interaction, He loves to play with his housemate. Maggie, they have so much fun together and I think he could use a little bit more social interaction. I'm free Sunday through Thursday. Pretty much all day. I'm busy Fridays and Saturdays give me a call give me a call to work on any scheduling if you absolutely need to book a Friday or Saturday I play with them, feed them, give them scritches let them interact with each other No dogs are allowed on the furniture in the common areas or the bedroom. All bedrooms are off limits
“Very reliable, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. I got regular updates and photos, and my pup was happy and well cared for. I’d definitely book again and highly recommended!!!!”
“Theresa and her family were wonderful hosts for Oliver! They welcomed him into their home over Thanksgiving at the last minute and treated him as if he was their own dog. She kept me updated throughout his stay and I never had to worry how he was doing. I wish every dog sitter was as good as Theresa and her family. Thank you so much!”
“Karina was awesome!! Our usual dog sitter fell through just a day before a night away, and Karina was quick to respond, and flexible even with the last minute booking. She sent a bunch of videos which were much appreciated, and showed Ruth was having a great time with her dogs and other visitors. You could tell Karina really knew what she was doing and good at introducing new dogs into the mix. Would definitely recommend!”
“Lucy was absolutely amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience using a boarding service. As first-time users, we were honestly a bit nervous leaving our dog with someone new, and we had reached out to multiple places before finding her. From the very beginning, Lucy stood out for how responsive, kind, and reassuring she was, and I’m so glad we chose her. Throughout the entire stay, she kept us consistently updated with videos and pictures, which meant so much to us. It really gave us peace of mind seeing our dog happy, comfortable, and well cared for. You can tell Lucy truly cares about the animals she looks after. She has a whole area designated for the dogs, and that level of attention and communication made all the difference for us. We will definitely be using her services again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog sitter.”
“Tara was great with my pup over the 4th of July weekend. She was so accommodating with my pup’s fear of loud noises and did her best to keep her calm. She sent lots of photos and updates which I appreciated! She was awesome!”
“Jon and Kayla were amazing! They took great care of our dog Aspen and were so prompt with communication and updates throughout the day. They are so kind and so trustworthy to take care of all of our pets needs. Will definitely rebook their service and recommend them immensely!”
“Laura, Carolina and Enrique are the best! I know because my dog, Calie, told me so! And I can explain. During her visit they send pictures of Calie hanging out and enjoying her stay. It’s clear from the pictures that she is happy and content. And when we arrive to take Calie home she’s always very relaxed and in no rush to leave their home. I would highly recommend Laura, Carolina and Enrique!”

Mikayla and Justin took wonderful care of our dog Maeve, making her feel right at home and taking her on plenty of walks. Their friendly, calm manner put both Maeve and us at ease, and we really appreciated the updates and photos they sent while we were away. We felt confident that Maeve was in excellent hands. I highly recommend them!
Brianna was excellent! She so clearly loves dogs, and Cody was very comfortable with her from the moment he met her. She put in effort to ensure that Cody was both safe throughout his stay and having a blast/getting lots of play time and walks. We would highly recommend Brianna!
Julia was an amazing sitter. My dog loved spending time with her. She sent frequent pictures and updates. She reached out immediately with any questions or concerns she had to make sure she was taking the best care of my pup. I will definitely be using her again in the future.
Sai was excellent and amazing when boarding my dog for a couple of days. Followed all instructions given and provided updates throughout the day.

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.
96% of sitters in New Haven 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 New Haven 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 Haven.
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 New Haven. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 New Haven 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.
