“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.”
“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!”
“Davon was amazing. Constant communication and updates with photos showed Frankie had an amazing time. He was extremely comfortable and enjoyed every second of it. Would definitely book again in the near future. 10 out of 10 experience.”
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs for 10 years and in that time one of my dogs developed IVDD and became paralyzed overnight. For the past 2 years I have learned how to care for a special needs dog, including bladder/bowel expression, wound care, medication (oral, syringe, and shots). I have found an extreme lack in boarding support for dogs with special needs and I want to use the knowledge and dedicated care for special needs dogs I have to help others and give a safe space for those who need that extra love and care. I currently work part time as a behavior technician for kids with autism (3 hours a day, Monday-Friday) so I am home most of the day. While I’m at work, my husband comes home not long after so the dogs are not alone for very long. My husband has the same abilities for caring for a special needs dog, but I will be the main caregiver. We can board 1 dog at a time all days of the week. As we are only taking special needs dogs, we want to keep it one dog at a time to limit stress and give the most attention to our guest. We do have 2 dogs (11 year old Theo, a chihuahua/papillon mix 10lbs, and 7 year old special needs Mina, a pitbull/boxer/miniature poodle mix 25lbs) that enjoy being around other dogs. We have 2 crates dedicated to our dogs, as well as two travel crates we make comfortable with pillows and blankets. There are floor dog beds in the living room and bedroom and plenty of blankets to dig in and nest. The dogs have free range of the apartment aside from a storage room. The living space is kept clear of items that the dogs can get into to prevent unsafe interactions. While there is no yard, we have lots of paths for walks and a small fenced in dog park only available to tenants. While we have our apartment fitted to our dogs, we are happy to make any adjustments that means creating the most safe and comfortable experience for your fur baby.
“Liza did great with my golden doodle. She was very quick with her responses and provided updates on my boy everyday. He seemed to have a good time with her. Highly recommend her and would definitely book again!”
“My husband and I felt so comfortable leaving our little guy with Mark and his family! He had the best time. Mark was a great communicator, sent us pics and treated our pup as his own! We are so appreciative!”
“Anne-Marie and her partner did a superb job taking care of Bella. They sent daily updates and photos, and provided Bella with thorough and attentive care. It was clear from the photos and when I picked up Bella that she enjoyed her stay :) highly recommend, looking forward to next stay.”
“My dog loves staying with Anthony. He uses his career knowledge to carefully screen and care for all the dogs under his care. If you’re looking for a top-notch sitter, look no further!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Elizabeth and her family! They way she went above and beyond to make me and my dog feel comfortable was a breathe of fresh air. She was super responsive, and answered any questions I had. I would 10/10 recommend!!”
“Mikayla and Justine were both amazing with our dog Lew! He can be a little nervous, and they went out of their way to keep him comfortable and happy while we were away. We also got in depth notes about his day along with pictures everyday, which was so helpful! We will definitely use them again -- great sitters!”
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my fur baby to Briana, and I couldn’t be more impressed! From the moment we met, it was clear that Briana is passionate about animals and genuinely cares for them. She took the time to learn about my dog's unique needs and routines, ensuring a smooth and comfortable stay. Briana kept me updated with adorable photos and messages throughout the day, which made me feel at ease. It’s evident that she not only has the skills and experience but also the compassion to be an outstanding dog sitter. My dog came back happy, healthy, and tired from all the fun activities Briana provided. I can’t recommend Briana enough—if you want your pet to feel loved and cared for, she’s the one to call!”
“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!!!!”
“They are AMAZING!! My little dog Mochi loved them a lot and I can tell he had good time with them. Normally Mochi is very shy with other people. But right away when Mochi sees Nadine family, they are already being friends. They knows dogs well and find out very quick what doggy needs. Friendly, sweet, treat like family. Everyday send me a comment (condition of my dog, what is plan) with good pictures. It makes me feel so much comfortable. Best people ever! I will come back with them. Thank you so much!! ☺️”
“Karen took tremendous care of my pup over the course of a long weekend. She has a special way with dogs and my dog clearly enjoyed his time with her. Would use both Rover.com and Karen again without hesitation.”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my hands-on experience, patience, and dedication to providing loving, attentive care, especially for senior pets. Over the past four years, I’ve cared for my dog, Pancho, who became sick and needed consistent monitoring and extra attention. I’ve helped manage his medication, previously every 12 hours and now every morning, while making sure he has fresh water and receives his meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This experience has taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and responsible when caring for senior pets or animals with special needs. I also have a cat, Tyson whom I care for daily and feed on a consistent schedule. Caring for my own pets has helped me understand that every animal has unique needs and deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m comfortable providing extra attention, maintaining feeding routines, monitoring pets closely, and helping with medication schedules as directed. Whether caring for a senior pet, a puppy who needs patience and guidance, or an animal who needs a little extra care, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I primarily work from home, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide consistent attention to pets throughout the day. I also work at a gym on Mondays and Sundays. I’m organized with my time and can plan accordingly to ensure pets receive reliable, attentive care. My home is smoke-free and has a fenced-in yard, providing a comfortable environment for pets. I also have a crate available if needed. Pets are welcome on the furniture and will be treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, and care. I’m happy to follow each pet’s routine and accommodate their individual needs to help them feel safe and comfortable. I do have two dogs, Rocky and Pancho. Both are males, ages are 2 years old and 9.
“Finding a sitter you truly trust is hard, but Will made it easy. He is remarkably friendly and provided the highest level of loving care for our Moe. I was also so grateful for their flexibility and understanding when plans changed. It’s such a relief to leave your pet with someone who genuinely cares. High recommend! My dog absolutely loves him, and I will definitely be booking again. Will is the absolute best choice! Thank you.”
“Gulsah was amazing! She took care of our Mango as if he were her own. He had such a wonderful time and looked so happy throughout his stay. We especially appreciated the almost daily photos and updates—they gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It truly looked like Mango was living his best life for the week! Gulsah will absolutely be our top choice for future sitting, and we couldn't recommend her more highly. We feel so lucky to have found someone we trust completely with Mango.”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 North 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 North 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 North 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 North 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 North 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.
