“We are very happy with the care and attention Jessica and Ian gave to our 11 month old puppy. We were continually updated on how things were going which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Many thanks!”
“We love Annette! She is very kind, responsible, trustworthy, gentle - all of the things one might be looking for in a dog sitter. Her own dogs are very nice, well adjusted and well behaved. She is obviously experienced, and uses baby gates etc to keep a handle on the dogs. There's a nice back deck where the dogs can go outside, enclosed so no little ones can escape. . I didn't see anything worrisome at all about how she kept things. Her house is immaculate, everything clean & orderly. My little rescue baby is sensitive, and does not like to be separated from me. But after a little while at Annette's, during our meet & greet, I could tell that he felt comfortable & happy there. During his stay, she kept in touch with cute pictures & videos, reporting back on his eating & behavior, so I felt very comfortable & never worried while I was away. When it was time to come home, my baby was happy to see me but not in a hurry to go! I could tell he had a great time. We'll be back to see Annette for sure! Thanks so much, Annette!”
About: I have been grooming dogs for over 18 years, and boarding clients' pups in my home for 16 years. My 13 yr old homeschooled son and I adore all dogs. We have 2 wonderful medium sized girls (Myla 8, Josie 1.5) who love all dogs and people! My career in grooming means I truly 'speak dog' and understand their quirks and needs. I have extensive experience with all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I'm comfortable administering oral and injectible medications, as well as supplements. Our dogs eat a raw diet, so food & water bowls get sterilized after each meal. Since we homeschool, we spend a lot of time at home or close by with friends. My son often has friends over who love to play with dogs. This means we have a great balance of calm & quiet time, as well as active & fun time. Our lovely property has Invisible Fence for about a acre, so any dogs trained on it get to enjoy lots of untethered play time. Every dog who stays gets a temporary ID tag with my address and phone number in case of accidental 'escape' We love couch cuddles, and both of our girls sleep in bed with my son. We also have dog beds everywhere, and crates & gates available when needed.
“Dew is the best of the best! From our first meet & greet to everything in between, Dew was responsive, flexible, and loved our pup as if he was her own. Our Bucky is quite the energetic pup and she went above and beyond to assure he was taken care of in just the right way. We can’t thank her more and will be booking with her again soon.”
“I really appreciated the care my precious dog received. I was a last minute holiday booking. Nina was shown warmth, flexibility and compassion. This was visible through the pictures I received daily, videos and the puppy report cards. I will absolutely book again!”
“A great pet sitter, she had originally planned only to take care of two of my Huskies, but last minute she was available to receive my third Husky after a last minute plan change, and she made the appropriate arrangements for it. I am very satisfied with her work.”
“We love, love, love Lily and her whole family, including Speedy. Our dog Flynn is so happy they’re running and playing and feeling like he’s at his home away from home. We can’t recommend Lily enough!”
“This was my first time using Rover. Lora was absolutely amazing! We met a week before I left my dog overnight with her. She was the sweetest getting my dog to feel comfortable around her. She was doing everything possible to win him over. After that first meet, I knew he would be fine and I could trust her with him! During the actual overnight visit she sent me multiple pictures of him. He’s old, a chihuahua, and has anxiety. But he loved her. She sent me pictures of them cuddling, she told me how good he was doing by sending multiple updates, and assured me he was doing fine! He takes medicine every night and she also was able to give him his medicine just fine! He even got the zoomies and she got to see how my old boy can still play ! My dog loved her and I will definitely be bringing him to her again if we ever need a sitter!”
“Our second time leaving our dog with Elizabeth and everything went so smooth. It is a great comfort knowing he is being taken such good care of. We will be leaving him again soon! Thank you Elizabeth!”
“Marie was so wonderful to Madison (!!!!). Although I was far away, they kept me updated with pictures and texts along the way. I appreciate all that Marie does and couldn't ask for a better sitter.”
About: I’m patient, reliable, and truly care about every dog I walk. I pay attention to their behavior, energy, and comfort so they feel safe and happy. I follow instructions closely and treat every dog like my own. I’m available for pet care in the afternoons after 3pm on weekdays, as well as all day on weekends. I offer walks, drop-ins, and boarding when you’re away on vacation. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort. In my care, pets are supervised, kept on their routine, and treated gently and patiently. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to make sure the pet feels secure and comfortable.
“Catie and her husband were able to take care of my dog when travel plans changed last minute. I was very nervous with a new sitter but they took great care of Barkley. They sent videos and pictures thru out his stay and were very responsive when I reached out to check on how he was doing. I would recommend them and use again!”
“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.”
“Seriously the nicest family you can leave your pup with! This was my first time using Rover and once I met Nadine and her family I had no worries or hesitations! She accommodated my schedule and sent me tons of updates about my pup! I know he had a great stay and got tons of attention and exercise! Thank you guys! :)”
“A heartfelt thank you to Mary Ann for her care for Hope while I was traveling for 8-9 days! I returned to a very happy Pup (what more could you ask for?!)! Greatly appreciate Mary Ann’s care and will no doubt reach out in future!”

“Devon took great care of both my doggies for a week. Daily updates with pictures really helped calm my nerves. Would highly recommend. He has a nice fenced yard for them to play so they were safe.”
“Andrea was so responsive when my usual sitter cancelled last minute on a holiday weekend. She took great care of my dog and if I’m ever in the area again I will definitely use her!”
“Kayla took great care of my cat Stan over Thanksgiving. I dropped him off a day before and picked him up after the weekend. His pictures are many and he always looks relaxed and happy. Kayla follows my directions for his care and he comes home purring. I recommend her services very highly. She also did drop in visits for my cat at my house, and stayed with him for a week over the summer. She is responsible and caring.”

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 Milford 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 Milford home-away-from-home, 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 Milford.
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 Milford 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 , 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 .
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.
