“Nazim is fantastic! He is professional, communicative, and calm. My dog Duke liked Nazim and the other dogs right away. The big fenced back yard and dog-friendly home made for a perfect doggie daycare experience. I appreciated receiving photos throughout the day, and a happy dog at pickup time. Highly recommend!”
“We’ve never had our pup in a daycare before and had to find someone fast late evening who could be willing to take him in early next morning. Thank god Erica was willing to help us out. She made us feel comfortable the second we started chatting. Her and her family are the best! They’re good people and know what theyre doing. they also sent us photos throughout the day and you could just tell our pup loved every minute of his stay. Gonna recommend them to everybody and hope theyll have time to take him in the next time were around cause i wouldnt want to leave my boy with anybody else! Thanks again for everything!”
“Ashley was phenomenal taking care of my scared little rescue baby Lyra, she got so much love and attention and really came out of her shell once she got comfortable in the new environment. If I could gatekeep them for myself I would, such a peace of mind stay!”
About: I have experience with all kinds of dogs of all sizes. I have owned 3 pitbulls so I for sure know how to handle dogs that size. I also have a park near my house that is very discrete where the dogs can come roam around. It is fenced and barely anyone ever goes to. I used to bring my dogs over there when I had them. I am available full time if needed. I work from home. I can do pick up & drop as well. Please let me know, it would be my pleasure! I care for the dog as if they are my own. I know animals can become family, just as mine have became family. I will go accordingly to your dogs schedules and make sure they have the best care.
“This was the first time that I used Eric. Eric and his wife were wonderful with Milo. Eric let me know that Milo was doing well and also sent a picture. Milo came home happy and tired. I will definitely use Eric again.”
“Hoaran was so attentive to my pup and kept me up to date for the whole stay. She was extremely accommodating to last minute inconveniences in our travel. Kona enjoyed her stay and came home very fulfilled!! Will definitely book again!!!”
“Cruz Maria was so great with my dogs and with me! She is an expert dog person who catered to my dogs physical & emotional needs. I was in town for my high school reunion. Instead of boarding them for the weekend, Cruz Maria was flexible so that I could have them be in "day care" in the afternoon and evening. I was able to go to so many events for my reunion and still have my dogs with me at night. Thank you Cruz Maria!! You are the best!”
About: I've had dogs for the past 19 years, mainly pitbulls and mastiffs. But I worked in a doggy day care in the past and have experience with all types of dogs even cats. Currently a hospital manager at an animal hospital. Open availability , early morning and evenings are great. Weekend availability as well . I work with animals all day , from cats to exotics. I can accommodate your needs however you need. Safety for your pet and I will be my main priority. I want you to feel comfortable and confident in my care. I currently work third shift 3 nights a week but have someone home on those nights. So your pets will never be alone . I also have 3 children who enjoy helping so it has become part of daily routine to do feedings and walks. I treat your pets like family, I usually request a crate for them so they have a familiar safe space in case they get overwhelmed but otherwise they free roam. I follow whatever schedule you follow at home. So if you allow your fur babies on the couch so will I. But if not I respect that and follow that as well. So it really is treating your babies like ours. I’m an early riser, so early morning feedings and walks are easy to fit into my routine. My work schedule can vary so I can be flexible with walks. I treat your animals as my own, while still following your household rules for them. I do request a crate during stays so your pets have a safe space they can feel comfortable in.
“MJ and Tyler have been wonderful. We got a new puppy about a month ago, so we immediately started looking for care on the days of the week that we are not working from home. She immediately messaged me back and arranged for us to come over and meet them and their dogs ahead of time. They have been wonderful, our puppy clearly loves being over there and gets so excited in the morning when I drop her off. And she comes home tired and happy. It gives great peace of mind, knowing she’s well taken care of during the days we can’t be at home with her . 😊”
“Christle has been a Godsend. She is amazing, kind & a wonderful dog sitter. My Harmony LOVED going there! She was treated with kindness & when she got home she was tired from playing. I absolutely recommend her as your furry companion will be in great hands!”
“This was our first time using Angela and was very happy with everything! Great communication! Our pup seemed happy and tired after spending the day with Angela! Love the nice fenced in yard.”
About: With over 25 years of pet owning experience and more than a decade of fostering, working, and volunteering in animal shelters, rescues and zoos, I can bring highly skilled and compassionate care to dogs and cats of any breed, age, and size. Service hours are 8am to 5pm. I am unable to accommodate visits or daycare outside these hours. Please note that I am unable to reply to requests after 8pm or before 8am. I work from home, and with no children or pets of my own, I can devote all of my love, time, and attention to your fur baby. I will treat your pet and your home as if they were my own. You can rest assured your pet and home are in good hands.
About: I have experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets. With puppies, I focus on patience, consistency, and reinforcing the training and routines you’re already working on. With seniors, I provide gentle, attentive care and make sure they stay comfortable and stress-free. I truly care about your pet’s well-being and happiness. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work from home and am home most of the day. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, meals on schedule, and companionship throughout the day rather than long stretches alone. I tailor my care based on the service and your pet’s needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on consistency, comfort, and safety. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide plenty of attention and companionship, reinforce training for puppies, and offer patient, gentle care for senior pets. I also communicate regularly with updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.
“Triba is amazing! She loved peanut and made peanut feel safe and comfortable. This eased our anxiety too and we will definitely be working with Triba again soon!”
About: I have been fostering dogs for over a year. In the past year, I've cared for eleven foster dogs as they wait for their forever homes; in addition to this, I am the first person friends and family call to watch their dogs when they go out of town. Over the past year, I've dog-sat for seven different friends and family members, caring for pit mixes, boxers, a bernedoodle, golden doodles, and several rescue mixes. I am experienced working with all kinds of dogs; large and small, young puppies to senior dogs in need of additional medical support. I've completed Family Dog I and Family Dog II training classes at Tails-U-Win in Manchester, CT, with my parents' German Shepherd mix. I work from home and have a relatively flexible schedule, so I have the ability to be with your pets for the vast majority of the day, ensuring they are well cared for. I adjust activities, depending on the specific dog and their needs. I love to walk and hike, and for active dogs, I know of many trails and parks within 10-15 minutes of my home. For lower-energy dogs, we walk around my neighborhood and spend time in the yard. I have a plethora of enrichment toys and games - puzzles, snuffle rugs, kong wobbles, and more. Totally depends on the dogs and their unique needs.

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 Poquonock 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 544 sitters in Poquonock, 88% 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.
