“Daniela was accommodating and terrific to work with. My puppy really enjoyed staying with her for daycare! We will be using Daniela’s services regularly :)”
“When I told our little dog that we were going to visiti Tina & Jon, she couldn't stop jumping for joy! We once took our dog to doggie daycare. They said, she just stayed with the "human" in the room. Playing with Tina & Jon's 2 little dogs has helped ours enjoy playing with other 4 legged animals with glee : )”
“Josie had such a lovely day with Clinton, his dog, and his son! She got lots of cuddles, time to roam around the fenced backyard, and plenty of window watching, three of her favorite things. Clinton communicated well and sent lots of great photos. I’ll definitely be bringing her back!”
“Emma was such a a amazing sitter! Great communication before and during the boyos' stay. Easy dropoff & pickup. The boyos were happy when we picked them up, which is rare! So excited to find someone close by I can trust. Looking forward to booking again. Thank you, Emma!!”
“Another great week with monika! She always provides good updates/pictures and is super responsive. Nate has only been there a few times so far but is already excited when we get out of the car at her place when we drop him off. I think he knows where he’s going now!”
“We love Yenis!! I couldn’t have asked for a better day care visit with her! She is so caring and attentive I felt so comfortable knowing she was going to give our 4 month old pup the same amount of love and care that we would! We can’t wait for our next daycare stay with her and Milo!”
“Wonderful, excellent, heartwarming, in great hands! From drop off, to pictures, to bedtime I was kept updated with videos my dog looked happy and was having a great time with the other dogs. I will rebook again when we are out of town without giving a second thought! Thank you Beatriz! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Ashley has taken care of my dog Zulu many times. She does a great job taking her on walks and allowing her to play with other dogs at the park. Also is very flexible with drop off and pick up times. Would highly recommend her to anybody looking for a sitter in Stamford area”
“Jolysa was more then accommodating for our little pug. We were just passing thru Stamford to meet family and she watched our little guy for us, and made sure he drank some water before we arrived back to finish the rest of our drive. Thanks so much for watching him on such short notice . We definitely recommend Jolysa to watch your Furry family member.”
About: Ive been a professional dog walker for 7 years in my neighborhood. Everywhere I go they ask where are the dogs?? Ive had many satisfied clients. I have slots for more dogs daily. Small dogs are my preference since I have in a small area for them to play in. Overnights are fine too. I have a main play room in my space for smaller dogs. Large dogs may need an overnight pen to rest in overnight for dogs over 30 pounds.
“While my pet boarding plans got cancelled due to alternate personal reasons , from the time of requesting boarding , Lukas was super communicative and very flexible with pickup /drop-off timings. Given the proximity to my residence , this certainly has the potential of being my go-to dog boarding. Thanks !”
About: I have had dogs, cats and birds my whole life. I love all animals and my pets are my kids! I left the corporate world in January 2019 to do what I love, which is caring for and spending time with animals! My schedule is extremely flexible. I can go to your home for walks, feeding, playtime and administering meds. I work weekends and well as weekdays. Overnights would need to be at my home, because I have a a 6 year old Shihpoo who is the sweetest dog you could ever meet! I live in a dog friendly apartment complex in the Harbor Point section of Stamford. There are three nearby dog parks and plenty of sidewalks and safe potty areas right outside my building. I’m very active and love to go on long walks. My apartment is spotless and always safe for dogs. I am very careful about leaving anything around that would harm them. In addition to the insurance covered by Rover, I have my own liability insurance and am bonded as well.
About: I've had a dog in my home since I can remember. Friends and neighbors have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs while conducting in home visits. I have attended dog training classes in the past, and I have worked with and seen the growth of a German Shepherd puppy become a trained adult. I am a teacher in the nearby area, and I am currently off in the summer. I will have plenty of time to care and play with your pups. I am available weekdays and some weekends. I love dogs and being outside! I live in apartment complex that is very pet friendly with an outside courtyard that many use for dog walks. I can easily walk, hydrate, feed your dogs, and anything else you may need.

Judy was so kind, detail oriented, and trustworthy with my senior chihuahua. I left Milly with Judy for the day while I attended a conference. Judy provided routine photos and updates. I could tell Milly was clearly well taken care of when I picked her up - no anxiety

Kat has taken such good care of my Josie pup! Josie has been able to cuddle and snuggle, perch on window sills, and explore and sniff to her heart’s content all day. Kat communicates very well and sends lots of sweet photos and updates. I’ll definitely be bringing Josie back to her!

Osvaldo took good care of my Willow girl and made me feel so comfortable leaving her with someone new for the first time! He sent updates and photos throughout the day that helped calm my nerves, and I can tell she got plenty of play time and attention. It's clear the Osvaldo loves animals and is a great caretaker. I'll definitely be re-booking next time I need a sitter!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Northfield commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 4,562 sitters in Northfield, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
