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.
“Daniela was great with my pup! She asked great questions that made me feel confident that he would be safe and comfortable with her. We will definitely be using her services again.”
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.
“Ashley & Mauricio - a wonderful kick save, after another boarder's dog got very sick and had to go to the hospital - day before boarding our dog. A great experience. Our dog came home all smiles - having had a great time playing with Ashley and her gentleman fur baby, Bingo. Highly recommend!”
“Barb provided fantastic care for my 2 needy pups. In addition, she was extremely communicative and flexible as I had to switch things up on her last minute. We'll definitely be repeat customers!”
“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!”

“Radostina and her Family were great for our girls. They gave them lots of time to play outside and run around with some rest and snuggles inside. She updated us throughout the day with texts and photos as well. Would highly recommend and look forward to the next time our girls need a place to feel at home away from home”

I am always available for pet sitting, I work from home and I am more likely available for the weekdays and weekends to pet sit. I have a big yard that my two dogs love to run around in. My dogs are friendly and can keep your dogs company if you want and if not I can separate the dogs and they won’t have to interact with each otherr, and I have crates if needed.
“Kevin was fantastic! This was my first time using Rover, my dog usually stays with family or friends, and he made me feel at ease having Roni with him for the day. He asked great questions beforehand that made me feel confident he would be good at handling dogs. And when Roni was with him for the day, he sent pictures and videos and kept me updated on how he was doing. I will definitely use Kevin again! It made me feel better knowing Roni was at someone’s house, being watched by someone who’s really good with dogs, and had dog friends to play with.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverside
Goose had a nice visit with Allyson and her roommate. His stay gave us great peace of mind so we could visit with our friends until our hotel room was ready. We’re appreciated Allyson’s flexibility with our schedule. We will look her up again when we visit Stamford area!
Daniela is so great. She got along with Bammie on the first day. She sent frequent updates of our pup enjoying his stay. She is also very flexible with our schedule. We had a church event that finished a little late and she was still able to accomodate. 100% recommend and will schedule her with Bammie again.

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Riverside is $56 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $61 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific 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 Riverside 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.
As of October 2026, there are 7,597 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of CT. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
