âA friend recommended I use Rover.com and specially Alan and Luis to board my young golden retriever. From start to finish this was an excellent experience for Shilo and myself. The Rover.com app is extremely user friendly and Alan and Luis provided a warm, homey atmosphere for my pup. I had never left her overnight and it was so comforting to get daily picture updates while I was away. Shilo was clearly having the time of her life! I have already booked another stay and will use Alan and Luis and Rover.com for all my boarding needs.â

âNazim is super easy to work with, and my dogs clearly love him. In general, I donât like leaving the dogs alone, but I feel great about leaving them with him. Nazim understands and likes dogs. Ten out of ten, would book again.â

âAllison was so great with our dog Wendy! Allison had no problem giving Wendy daily medication, and she sent regular updates and was so easy to communicate with. Wendy had a great time, and we were so relieved knowing she was in good hands while we were away! We wonât hesitate to use Allison again!â


âWe appreciated Amira so much for taking care of our two rabble-rousers. She provided a comforting presence and I could see they felt completely at home, which isnât an easy task. In addition, we reached out midway through their stay and she responded immediately- this gave us peace of mind as well. Thank you!â


âNancy is phenomenal and my baby absolutely loved her. This is the first time I went away and wasn't consistently worried because I knew he was being cared for and loved the same way he would be at home.â

âKatie and her family were AMAZING!! We needed a last minute sitter and they couldnât have taken better care of our girl. We got multiple updates and lots of pictures which put us at ease. Katieâs girls were super cute with Bear and she enjoyed all of the extra pets and attention. Weâd 100% recommend Katie to anyone and look forward to having her watch Bear again in the future.â

âElizabeth watched my two dogs for the first time for two nights. My two seven year old boys are higher energy requiring more attention than many other dogs. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She is incredibly sweet, attentive, and deeply responsible. Both my dog felt right at home from early on and absolutely enjoyed the walks and playtime. She sent me regular updates with pictures allowing total peace of mind. Perhaps more importantly, my two knuckleheads found a new best friend and I found a sitter that will definitely be used again for future needs.â

About: With 24 years of hands-on dog care experience, caring for your furry family members is truly my passion! I provide loving, attentive, and dependable care tailored to each dog's individual needs and personality. From daily walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles to feedings and companionship, I make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I also have experience training puppies, including potty training and teaching basic commands, helping them build a great foundation. For senior dogs, I offer gentle, patient, and compassionate care, including administering medications in both pill and liquid form for receptive dogs. What sets me apart is my 24 years of experience caring for dogs through every stage of life. Whether your pup is a playful puppy, an energetic adult, or a sweet senior needing extra attention, I treat every dog as if they were my ownâwith patience, kindness, and lots of love! I'm available for doggie day care or boarding in my home on weekdays, weekends, overnight or for longer bookings. I have plenty of time to spend with your special pup. I have a great fenced in yard and 1 small 9 year old maltese dog to keep your pup company. I can easily crate your dog or provide a gated area if needed.
âAshley is truly exceptional, deserving of more than just five stars âď¸ âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸. This was my initial experience with Rover and hiring a pet sitter, and I must admit I was quite apprehensive about entrusting our beloved pet to a stranger. However, I am immensely thankful to have discovered Ashley. She is outstanding! I am delighted to have found a pet sitter whom I will rely on indefinitely. She treated our pet as if it were her own, providing regular updates throughout the stay. Her transparency, courtesy, understanding, and willingness to accommodate our needs were remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend Ashley to anyone seeking exceptional care for their pet.â

âWe are so grateful for Philippe! He watched our dogs for an extended amount of time and we couldnât be happier with the service we received and neither could our dogs. Our Goldendoodle was very anxious but due to Philippe dog handling heâs come back much more relaxed and easier to handle. We will continue to use Philippe as long as heâs available snd we highly recommend him to anyone and everyone who wants peace of mind that their dogs will be taken care of with love and care!â

âAles and Lindsey were amazingly great and helpful. They sent photos each day of all the activities: play, walks, sleep, and lounging. We felt great about leaving our 2 Goldens with Alex. We would absolutely recommend them. Thank you!!!â

âWe just returned from a four day trip and couldnât be happier with Karinaâs care of our dog Milo. This is our third time having Karina watch Milo and we have continued to be impressed with her care. Milo started with a lot of anxiety but Karinaâs experience in caring for dogs and her special attention to Milo made all the difference. We are so lucky to have found her.â

âGreat person!!! She took pictures while my dog was there. I was able to communicate with her without a problem. She let me know how my dog was doing. My dog seemed tk have had a blast. Thank you soo much for taking care of my tip.â

âJan and Russ were AMAZING with my pup! They made sure to keep me updated while I was away on an extended weekend and itâs the first time I left Bowden for such a long amount of time. They really made me feel comfortable about my decision to board him for my trip! I will absolutely be using them in the future! Thank you both so much!!!â

âOh my goodness, where do I start?! I was terrified to leave my 5 year old Frenchie with anyone while I went on a family cruise because he had just been prescribed daily meditation for severe back pain. My friends and family all had plans so I took my chances and turned to Rover.com. I read through a ton of reviews and finally chose Briana. Boy, am I GLAD I did??!! I feel like I hit the jackpot!!!!!! Briana was a true God send!!! From the very first text interaction, I knew she was the one! She asked ALL the right questions and even offered to do a meet and greet beforehand! She was warm, inviting and extremely responsive before we had even met. Her home is beautiful and immaculate, and my baby felt right at home with her and her loving family! She stayed in contact, sent pictures and videos and was just as much of a ânurseâ as I am with his daily meditation and TLC!! She even went the extra mile to get him more fresh food because I accidentally didnât pack enough (the joys of packing an entire family for a cruise will sometimes make you forget about the family pets needsđŠđ). When my Frenchie was leaving her home, he turned around a dozen times (in his own way of saying goodbye) and even watched her home from the car window as we drove wayâ which was a sign that he was loved and cared for enough to feel sad to leave them. THAT was my sign to add her to my contacts list as his forever dog sitter!! I CAN NOT RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH!!!! If youâre looking for a âsecond familyâ for your fur baby, SHE should be choice!!! I am SO glad I made the perfect decision for him,AND us as a family!! Gift yourself the peace of mind you need while youâre away and chose this sitter. Thank me later!!! đâ

âBailey was very happy and tuckered out from her stay with Betsabeth! Our dog looked so happy in the photos Betsabeth took during our time away. We would definitely ask Betsabeth to watch Bailey again!â


âAndrea was wonderful with our senior dog! I was so nervous about leaving him for more than a few days but it was obvious from her correspondence with us as well as pics and videos that he settled in and was happy and comfortable. I think he would have very happily stayed longer with Andrea and her sweet dogđž.â

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 dogâs regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Poquonock can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dogâs 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 dogâs 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 Poquonock 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 Poquonock.
Tip: You can upload your dogâs 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 Poquonock. On Rover:
- 90% 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 Poquonock sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of youâand 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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. Youâll 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.
