“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Trixie! It’s greatly appreciated. While we hate leaving her, knowing someone else cares for her as much as we do makes it a little easier.”
“When we found out we were going to go out of town, Kyla and her family were the first ones we thought of to take care of Ethel. She seemed to remember her last stay there and felt comfortable fitting in immediately. Kyla and family treated Ethel like family. She sent daily updates and answered my questions about Ethel whenever I reached out right away. Definitely recommend and will use her again.”
“Kristin took awesome care of our kitties Lumi and Lockon. She was great with Lockon’s medicine. Her family accepted the cats and was very welcoming. Kristin is amazing and she provided consistent updates sending videos and pictures. I would definitely recommend her and go back to her 😊”
“Rafael was fantastic with Phoebe! From the very start, he was organized, transparent about his home setup, and had a great system in place to keep all the visiting dogs safe and comfortable. During her overnight stay, he sent tons of wonderful photos and videos, and it was so clear that Phoebe was happy, relaxed, and right at home with him. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are so glad we found him. Highly recommend!”
“I went through 4 pet sitters, and Sue is the best pet sitter out of those 4, she send pics to us every day while we on vacation so we don’t feel like missing our pet at the same time make us worryless, we definitely come back to her when we are on vacation again”
“Erica was awesome! She sent me daily updates and photos of my dog while I was away on vacation. I can tell my Max had the best time there! I would definitely have Max stay with her again 😊”
“Adrian was great with our dog. He kept us updated on how she was doing and sent pictures she was very comfortable in his home. Highly recommend we will be using his services again.”
“Karen was a great choice when it came to boarding my beloved little friend. It was my first time using Rover or a boarder of any kind and Karen couldn't have made the experience better if they tried. They were very thorough throughout the initial meet and greet, had a great rapport with my dog, and were extremely communicative while I was away both providing updates and pictures everyday. I would definitely recommend Karen for anyone looking for a wonderful and worry free pet sitting experience!”
“Caylin and her husband were very nice and accommodating and gave daily updates and pictures. Kept contact and answered quickly. I would recommend highly. I would definitely use their services again.”
“Amber was an awesome pet sitter, she had both girls for two weeks and took amazing care of them. She was super responsive, sent lots of pictures, and really loved on them which is all you can ask for.”
“Pluto LOVED staying with Marie. She sent many photos and kept me updated on Plutos stay. He was cuddled up in most of the photos and had the best time playing with Marie and her husband. Pluto got so much love and lots of treats during his stay. Pluto will be back to see Marie again soon!!”
“This was our first time leaving our Sweet Lucy with someone, and Misael was a great fit. He was patient and took care of all of her needs. On hot days, he made sure to walk Lucy early in the morning in the shade and kept her hydrated. I appreciated the daily updates, pictures, and videos of Lucy. Misael goes above and beyond (he washed Lucy's blanket because she got food on it). I will definitely rebook with Misael!”
“Can’t say enough about how comfortable and safe we feel leaving our pup with Leanne. She is the only person we’ve used on Rover and has been worth every penny. This past time she helped us out last minute and we are more thankful that we can say in person. The photos and updates let us know our pup is in good hands, having fun, and getting love from a family.”
“Our dogs had the best time with Melissa! They were well taken care of and made a few new friends. Melissa was extremely accommodating to our requests for drop off and pickup changes and even offered to meet us closer when our flight got delayed. We would absolutely rebook with Melissa and highly recommend her!!”
“I left my 5 month old pup with Boa while on a vacation out of the country. I can highly attest that Max received superior care and extensive love! In addition to the great care, Boa consistently sent updates along with pictures of Max during his stay. My plans are to continue to use Boa when I travel. Five stars!”
“Another great stay with Sarah! This was Sia’s second time with her, and he was so happy and comfortable. I feel so at ease knowing he’s in such good hands. Sarah is so kind and caring, and Rex is the sweetest, most patient buddy with my little Sia. We’ll definitely be booking again! 🐈🐈🐈”
“Our dog loves going on vacation to Suzanne’s. He was so happy to see her and who could blame him? He gets exercise, snuggles, and a family away from home. Suzanne is very thoughtful about meeting our dogs unique needs and keeping us updated with his activities and some very cute photos. We’ll continue to book Suzanne as long as she is available.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Putnam
Sadie thoroughly enjoyed her stay. In the past, I tried boarding at a kennel but it was too stressful for her. It took days for her to recover from the experience. That was not the case with her stay with Lindsay. She returned home just as happy as the day we dropped her off. It was such a relief and I couldn’t be more pleased.

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.
95% of sitters in Putnam 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 Putnam 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 Putnam.
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 Putnam. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Putnam 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.
