“Didn’t get to meet Inam but Jennifer was amazing with my Ralphie! She’s very patient and kind, all the good qualities needed to take great care of your pets. They sent pictures and updates almost every day which was much appreciated. Looked like my pup had a lot of fun. I’ll definitely be using their services again!”
About: I love pets, they are the cutest addition to our lives. I have a dog of my own, she is 2 1/2 years old, very playful and friendly. I have had pets since childhood and love taking care of them, we have a house and a fenced yard, hence your pup is safe to play outdoors whenever they want. They are allowed on furniture too. Will love to take care of your precious little baby 😊 I work from home few times a week and my mom stays at home full time, so someone is always there to play with your pups and to take care of them. I have a fenced yard so they are safe when playing outdoors, I can take them on walks weather permitting, if they like to sleep in their crate they can do so too, potty breaks according to their schedule and have fun indoors. Will love to give them a safe place when they’re away from home 🏡
“Lennox came home happy and exhausted. A good sign she had a great time with Wendy and her new friends! I appreciated how quick Wendy was to respond and the great care she gave our pup!”
“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”
“Dyan is amazing with dogs. She recently welcomed my girl while I was out of town and helped her feel right at home. Dyan was accessible and provided updates including photos. She has watched three of my dogs now. I trust her completely.”
“Araceli and Uciel did a fantastic job of watching my dog for a week. They took such wonderful care of him and sent pics\videos with updates every day. It was clear he had a grand time playing with their two dogs and being spoiled rotten. I will definitely be using them again when I go out of town.”
“Andrea took very good care of my baby, i was so nervous leaving him with someone new. But i am glad i found her. My baby was well taken care off and he seem very happy. He was treated like a family member he was taken on car rides and he was allowed to sleep on the bed. I definitely will be booking with her and her family again.”
“I couldn't have asked for better people to take care of my Rosie! Alan and Luis made me feel comfortable in leaving my dog with them for a short stay and sent me picture updates daily. Thank you for treating Rosie as one of your own!”
“Triba took great care of my Shih Tzu for a week. She sent me photos and even took him to the dog park. She walked him a couple of times a day. Thank goodness for her, I was able to vacation in peace. ?”
About: Your dog is more than a pet — they’re family. We provide a warm, loving, and secure environment where your furry friend feels safe, happy, and cared for. Whether you’re away for a day or a week, you can rest easy knowing your dog is in trusted hands, getting belly rubs, playtime, and the personal attention they deserve. Because peace of mind isn’t a luxury — it’s a promise. Consider me as your on-call pet sitter. I have currently moved to California all the way from the east coast. Whenever you need me, I’m here ! How I Care for Pets in Your Home – With Safety, Trust, and Comfort at the Heart of It All When I care for your pets, whether I’m house sitting, walking them, or simply dropping in, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has a unique routine, personality, and needs — and I take the time to learn and follow your instructions closely to ensure they feel secure and loved in your absence. In your home, I maintain a calm, respectful presence, keeping your pet’s environment clean, stress-free, and familiar. I provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and gentle companionship, always with an eye on their behavior and well-being. For drop-ins and walks, I show up reliably and treat your pet like my own — keeping them on safe routes, away from hazards, and paying close attention to their body language and comfort. I always prioritize secure leash handling, water breaks, and positive reinforcement. Your trust means everything to me, and I care for your pets and home with professionalism, love, and integrity.
“I think Biscuit loved staying with her, he tried to pull me back into her apt. when I picked him up. She sent plenty photos showing her dogs snuggling up with Biscuit like they were always best friends forever. Would book again!”
“If you need a pet sitter - Pauline is your girl!! I can’t thank her enough for hosting my two dogs in her home for the night. I received photos & an update within 30 minutes of dropping them off - & without having to check in myself - which I absolutely loved & appreciated. I then received updates all throughout the day which is exactly what I needed! She was VERY attentive to the dogs, asked about/followed their normal routine & updated me if she sensed anything was wrong or if the dogs seemed uncomfortable (one of them was exhibiting signs of an ear infection). I know my dogs were well taken care of and enjoyed their stay. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and we are so very grateful to Pauline!!!”
“We are so grateful for the amazing care you gave our dog! From the very beginning, Careen were kind, reliable, and attentive to every detail. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our dog was in such loving hands. We could tell our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the stay. Thank you for treating our pet like family — we highly recommend your dog care service to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate!”
“Angela and Tommy were amazing with my mini Aussie! They sent picture updates where she looked happy and comfortable relaxing around the house and playing with friends in the yard. Highly recommended!”
“Joshua and Jamie were absolutely amazing with our dogs! They cared for our boys like they were their own family! We were kept updated in regard to some complicated health issues our senior dogs are going through and they managed their medication routine very professionally. They also sent us cute pictures and videos of our boys playing with their dogs and it made us feel like we weren’t so far away :) We wish there were more stars for us to rate with and very, very highly recommend them!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. From playful Goldendoodles to tiny Yorkies, I’ve had the opportunity to care for so many wonderful dogs over the years, and I truly love getting to know each one’s unique personality. I also have plenty of experience as a dog owner. I had a Yorkie for about 5 years, a Maltese who was part of my family for 15 years, and I currently have a mixed-breed pup who has been part of our family for about 2 years. Being around dogs has always been a huge part of my life, and I honestly can’t imagine it any other way! Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs who are calm and happy to lounge around, as well as high-energy pups who need lots of playtime, attention, and exercise. I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual routine, personality, and needs. When your dog is in my care, they’ll be treated like one of my own—with plenty of love, attention, patience, and care. My goal is for both you and your pup to feel completely comfortable and confident while they’re with me. 🐾❤️ I’m a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a very flexible and open schedule for pet care. I’m also a part-time nursing student, but my school schedule is something I plan around, so I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and will do my best to accommodate different schedules and needs. I’m also available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, boarding, and house sitting depending on my availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel completely confident that they’re in good hands. I treat every dog in my care like they’re part of my own family and make sure they receive plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and affection. I’m also happy to follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and anything else that helps your pet feel comfortable and at home.
“Deuce can sometimes get a bit of separation anxiety when he leaves his family. He, however, was so comfortable with Maggie and Moose that he forgot about us and anxiety was gone! Maggie updated us and sent pics throughout Deuce's stay. We plan on using Maggie when we go on our next family vacation. Great job!”

Zoe always takes such good care of our pup. While we were gone, she noticed our dog seemed to have an ear infection so she took it upon herself to schedule a vet appointment and notify me. Super grateful for her and knowing my dog is in good care when we’re gone!
Jennifer was an excellent dog sitter and incredibly communicative throughout Chewie’s stay. She sent us plenty of pictures and even a video, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away on our three-day trip. It was clear that Chewie was in excellent hands and genuinely loved spending time with Jennifer and her family. By the end of his stay, we were fairly certain he wasn’t going to want to come home with us! 😊 We would absolutely trust Jennifer with Chewie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter.
I highly recommend Klaudia. She did a great job with our dog, Macy. Klaudia has a kind family and two sweet dogs of her own. She sent several pictures, which I loved. I could tell our dog was comfortable and happy with Klaudia. I was worried Macy may not want to come home with us! We will definitely be coming back in the future.
Careen was absolutely wonderful with Cooper. She was responsive, flexible, and so loving throughout his stay. The photos she sent made it clear he was having the best time — tons of outdoor adventures and plenty of cozy indoor snuggles. Cooper came home happy and relaxed, and I know he can’t wait for his next visit with her. Highly recommend!
Chris and Fernanda took such great care of our mini goldendoodle Eevee. Eevee felt comfortable with the whole family and their son Luke right away. They also sent lots of photos and updates. We’re so glad to have been able to find them for a last minute trip and would highly recommend !
Rumi is our go to every time! Sky loves going to their house and he is always so happy when I pick him up. I can tell he is treated like one of the family and I always feel at peace when he is there. Thank you again Rumi & family for providing such a lovely stay for Sky and being so accommodating 🙏🙏

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Newington on Rover is $49.95 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 917 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Newington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
96% of Newington 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 Newington 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 Newington 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 Newington.
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 Newington 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.
