“I appreciated that Valerie offered a meet and greet prior to caring for our dog. It went very well and it was clear that she can be trusted with our dog that we love so much. She cared for our dog for a long weekend and was sure to send pics and detailed updates daily. We will definitely ask Valerie to watch our dog again in the future as she assured his safety and happiness while we were gone.”
“Rachael did an awesome job watching our dog Daphne for 2 weeks while we were away for the holidays! She did activities with the dogs every day including taking them on hikes, playing with toys, and running on her huge farm. I never worried about Daphne the whole time we were gone because Rachael took great care of her and sent photos and videos of her everyday to keep us updated! Rachael is the best!”
“Ryan was great with our dog, Sprint! He was very responsive and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the day, which we really appreciated while we were away on vacation. Sprint got plenty of exercise and trips to the dog park every day. I also appreciated that Ryan was attentive and always followed up with questions if he needed clarification on anything related to Sprint’s care. We felt like Sprint was in great hands and would definitely use Ryan again!”
“By far… the best second Mom to my baby! Dynamo feels so at home with her and her family. I needed a second home when I go away and she and her family are perfect! She is so attentive and loving to the fur babies. Dynamo has always been very skittish. Went around other dogs. Well what can I say, not anymore. She provided a space for him to learn how to make new friends. He even got a girlfriend out of this babysitting adventure. Today, I had to remind him that he had to come home with me and not stay! Five stars and I will always recommend 💕”
“Took great care of both of my dogs. One can be a little complicated around other dogs, but Annemarie handled him with aplomb. I felt super confident in her skills and grateful for her kind attention to them. Will definitely use her again!!!!”
“Elizabeth was amazing. She took very good care of my baby while I was on vacation. She gave updates throughout the day which was very reassuring. Her home was nice and clean as well. She also has a great backyard. Would definitely recommend booking with her.”
“Sue was absolutely wonderful with Ollie! She was kind, attentive, and took great care of him throughout his stay. Communication was effortless, as she was always prompt with her replies and kept us reassured with regular updates. We also really appreciated how flexible she was with her schedule, easily accommodating our drop off and pick up times. Ollie had a fantastic time with her, and we could not have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Sue to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Cassandra & Nolan took excellent care of my Rosie girl while I was on a day trip to NYC. Frequent walks, cuddles, playtime, and plenty of photo updates. She enjoyed taking part in their holiday celebration! I will definitely book them again next time I'm in CT.”
“First thing- Meghan was great! Finn states with her fior 4 nights and I couldn’t have asked for more out of a sitter. She communicated well with us during his stay and is overall a very kind, responsible sitter. I will (and I’m sure Finn) be looking forward to booking with her in the future!”
“Isabel and her family are amazing. She is so great with animals and has the perfect setup for caring for dogs. Our dog ginger was there and had a great time, played so much she would pass out at night. I’m grateful to have a good, caring reliable sitter close to home for our pet, I highly recommend Isabel!”

I have a rescue French Bulldog Mildred. I have had French Bulldogs for 30 years before they were the most popular breed. I have a very diverse skill set caring for dogs with special needs and behavioral issues.

I am world renowned for my work in Animal Rehabilitation- for dogs and chimps.
“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.”
“We have been looking for a “go-to” dog sitter since moving to the New Haven area this summer, and we’ve certainly found one in Noemi and David. We reached out on short notice, looking to board our dog for a long weekend, and they were nothing but accommodating. We were able to quickly schedule a meet and greet, visit their home, and socialize our dog with their family (and their dog, Milo). When we dropped him off there for boarding, we were as comfortable as we could be and had no hesitation in trusting Noemi and David to take care of him. We received great updates/videos over the weekend, and communication was consistently clear and prompt. Our dog seems to have settled right in and came home happily exhausted from plenty of play time this weekend. I can’t recommend Noemi and David enough. We won’t be looking to board our pup with anyone else as long as they’re available!”
“From the moment we met Rachel we knew she was a true dog lover! Galileo warmed up to her immediately! Rachel sent pics and updates, and I could tell she kept Galileo busy and he felt at home at her place. I am very picky on who I leave our dog with, and I will definitely use Rachel again! Thank you Rachel!”
“Jomini and her family took wonderful care of our sometimes anxious little dachshund mix. She sent us pictures and updates every day. I recommend her and wound use her again to host our dog”
“Stephanie did a great job caring for our Hugo! He came back to us happy and healthy :) We especially appreciated how quick Stephanie was to respond and send updates. Would 100% book with her again!”
“I am so happy to have found Clementina. She is lovely and warm and took such very good care of Ezzy. She has a huge backyard and a dogpark nearby and Ezzy got great exercise daily. She sent me lots of pics and was flexible and accommodating when I asked if Ezzy could stay a little longer than I had planned. Her daughter also was there and Ezzy kissed everyone goodbye when we left and wagged furiously. 5 stars.”
About: Pets been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I am a real dog mom and my family and I have been first priority for friends and family when a dog, rabbit or another pet were in need of a home away from home. We love animals. I am pretty flexible with my schedule and can usually move things around. (And if I can’t go my daughter at 16 will be happy to be there for you and your pet.) Our own garden is fenced all around and is a great playground for all dogs. I love to bring your dog here doing the day or I’ll just stay in your home with 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 Newtown 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 Newtown 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 Newtown.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Newtown 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.
