Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Forest this weekend. It means the world to us knowing he was safe, happy, and loved while we were away. Your kindness, reliability, and genuine care gave us complete peace of mind, and we’re so grateful for the time and attention you gave him. We truly appreciate you and feel lucky to have someone we can trust with our furry family member. With heartfelt thanks, Dave and Ana

Shannon hosted our dog for a week while we went on vacation. I highly recommend her! We had a meet and greet prior and then checked in before the start day. Shannon was always quick to respond. She knows dogs so well and took great care of our lab. She also sent a couple of photos and videos while we were away. We will definitely be returning to Shannon the next time there is a need! Thank you so much Shannon!

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for Piper’s overnight stay with a sitter! Karen did a fantastic job keeping us updated throughout the five days, sending daily photos and messages that gave us peace of mind. It was clear that Piper was well taken care of, happy, and even got to enjoy many trips to the park! Knowing she was in such great hands made our time away so much easier. We highly recommend Karen and would absolutely book with her again in the future!

Our pup was in great care with Elisa and her family for a week while my family and I traveled. Elisa provided updates showcasing our pet’s happiness, comfort, and playfulness in her home. After sharing that our dog has congenital knee issues, Rob, her partner, even installed another step on their dog ramp for our dog to climb up comfortably. We hope to rebook with Elisa again when needed!

Eva was great. She sent multiple pictures, walked her numerous times and Ellie was more comfortable with Eva that she was asking for b(Ellie) rubs :) I'd recommend Eva to all my friends who have dogs.

Mary Jo was absolutely perfect. We have never left our pup with anyone before and we were a little nervous about it. Mary Jo put us at ease and took great care of our St Bernard. Communications were perfect, updates were timely and we will ABSOLUTELY be using Mary Jo again!

Serenity offered to meet our pups prior to their stay with her. She sent regular updates to let me know how they were doing. When we picked them up they seemed at ease. I will definitely reach out to her again when needed.

Jill and her husband Doug were great hosts for our young, active Border Collie. They went out of their way to meet our needs. I had mentioned that Louie liked to chase a Frisbee, and when we arrived Jill had added one to her big bucket of dog toys. I was happy about the big play yard, but while we were away I received some pictures from Jill of Louie and his pals running at the beach. What a great place to leave my pet!

We were very happy with Sophie’s time with Joe, Kelly, and their sweet young son. We arranged a quick visit ahead of time for Sophie to meet them and to see their home and space. They communicated effectively and sent pics during our vacation. We will definitely use them again, should we need care for Sophie.

Great experience. Lots of pictures. Took great care of our small 8lb puppy. Separate place in the house for small dog and slowly introduced her to their other dogs that were bigger. Would recommend!

It was our first experience boarding a dog through rover and we couldn’t be happier. We wanted our pup to feel like she was on vacation too, and every indication is that she loved her time at Laura’s! Laura sent pictures and videos throughout the week so we would know what she was up to. Glad we found a place for Emily to stay where she won’t miss us too much!

Tina watched our special needs, almost blind, senior shih tzu for the second time yesterday while we attended an event at Mohegan Sun. Our pup is a recent rescue with severe separation anxiety so she can be a bit challenging to sit. Tina is INCREDIBLE with her! We are so grateful to have found her. In addition to being fantastic with our dog, she is easy to work with, great communication, and just a wonderful person. We already have a few more sits lined up on the coming weeks. We highly recommend Tina for any of your pup sitting/walking needs. Thank you so much Tina!

I can not say enough about Beryl! She made me feel at ease immediately and welcomed our pup with open arms! She sent us pics and sweet messages while we were away and made us feel our pup was king of the castle. Our little guy was clearly comfortable and happy upon drop off and pick up. I 💯 recommend Beryl.

Shannon was very easy to work with. She has a great set up for dogs and is very clearly a dog lover. She sent us updates during the week and our pup came home happy. She was up front in communication that there would potentially be multiple dogs and we had a meet and greet before our trip to make sure Sophie was comfortable there and with other dogs. It was a positive experience and I would recommend Shannon to anyone.

FAQs for Boarding - Niantic

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Niantic 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 .

As of August 2026, there are 420 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Niantic. 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.

95% of Niantic 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 Niantic 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 Niantic 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 Niantic.

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 Niantic 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.
