“Deuce can sometimes get a bit of separation anxiety when he leaves his family. He, however, was so comfortable with Maggie and Moose that he forgot about us and anxiety was gone! Maggie updated us and sent pics throughout Deuce's stay. We plan on using Maggie when we go on our next family vacation. Great job!”
“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”
“Careen was wonderful with our senior dog and he loved her just as much as she loved him! She gave him lots of love and attention- I could tell he was very well cared for while we were away. We got lots of pictures and updates so I was completely at ease. We can’t wait to have Careen watch Shadow again!”
“Elizette was fantastic with my dog. She clearly loves animals and she made sure he was comfortable and happy during his stay. She and her family treated him as their own. She sent me lots of updates and I was so impressed with the care she put into taking care of him.”
“Rocky had a great stay with Kevin and Brian! He came home nice and tired from all his playing and he was cared for well! This was our second time with Kevin and Brian and we recommend them for any of your fur babies!”
“Triba was wonderful and so professional to work with! We really appreciate how she handled our dog with separation anxiety - she made him (and us) feel comfortable with a day-long boarding.”

“Made a last minute request to Renee and she came through. She asked all the right questions to learn about Lisa. Meet and greet went well. Stay went even better. Lots of pics. Had to push back pick up time and she was able to accommodate. Would not hesitate to book Renee again.”
“Ricky takes care of our boys like his own. He lives a little far away, but I don’t mind driving there because I can go do my things with peace of mind when my kids are with him.”
“Araceli and Uciel did a fantastic job of watching my dog for a week. They took such wonderful care of him and sent pics\videos with updates every day. It was clear he had a grand time playing with their two dogs and being spoiled rotten. I will definitely be using them again when I go out of town.”
About: I love pets, they are the cutest addition to our lives. I have a dog of my own, she is 2 1/2 years old, very playful and friendly. I have had pets since childhood and love taking care of them, we have a house and a fenced yard, hence your pup is safe to play outdoors whenever they want. They are allowed on furniture too. Will love to take care of your precious little baby 😊 I work from home few times a week and my mom stays at home full time, so someone is always there to play with your pups and to take care of them. I have a fenced yard so they are safe when playing outdoors, I can take them on walks weather permitting, if they like to sleep in their crate they can do so too, potty breaks according to their schedule and have fun indoors. Will love to give them a safe place when they’re away from home 🏡
“Christine was wonderful with my fifteen-year-old dog Ginger who needs a person with lots of patience and tons of attention. Christine provided that and I am so grateful. I was so worried at first about leaving her behind, but Christine made me feel at ease with her calm demeanor and was always sending me pictures of her every day. I could see she was comfortable with Christine and her Pug Jax who is so adorable! I will definitely be using her amazing services again and I highly recommend using Christine. Thank you so much Christine and Jax!! ?❤️”

“Laura was amazing! From the day we went over to meet her and see her home we knew our dog Rooster was in good hands. Throughout our time away Laura kept us updated with pics and videos showing how much fun he was having with the other dogs in her care. This meant so much! He came home happy, healthy, and I’m sure missing the fun he was having all day at Laura’s. We will definitely be using her for all future trips.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Yareisy! She took amazing care of Loki, and he clearly had the best time during his stay. She went above and beyond by writing a personalized note and sending him home with the cutest souvenirs. We also really appreciated her keeping me updated throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet!”

Jaqueline was so patient and compassionate when watching Gabe last weekend. Gabe was out of sorts, so unusual for him, and Jacqueline went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and felt safe. She kept me updated throughout our time away and sent pictures. I will definitely book with Jaqueline again and I encourage you to as well!
Michelle is absolutely amazing! She took great care of our pup while we were on vacation. From making sure she had everything he needed to be comfortable, plenty of updates over the week, cuddles, and play time! We are so happy we found Michelle to care for such an important part of our family!
Thank you so much again Ethan! Chance can be a stubborn, strong willed boy, but he took to Ethan very quickly and was so excited to be dropped off. Usually when I pick him up he’s in a rush to get home but when I picked him up from Ethan he seemed very content, relaxed, and well taken care of. I appreciate how well he took care of my fur baby. Would book him again!
Lori is an awesome dog sitter! My dog hadn’t been away from us in a long time and she took care to make sure he was comfortable and regularly sent updates on how he was doing along with lots of photos. I also appreciated how experienced and flexible Lori was when it came to caring for our guy, she was always willing to go above and beyond. It was very reassuring to know that our dog was enjoying his stay and clearly enjoyed his time staying and playing with her and her dog Murphy. I highly recommend Lori and will definitely be using her again.
Excellent experience with Tiffani. She made us feel so comfortable leaving our precious pooch with her and her family. We were worried that our dog wouldn’t like other pets, but all went well and Tiffani sent tons of photos to reassure us. On pick up our pooch seemed well taken care of and loved. Highly recommend Tiffani! She is AWESOME! 😍😍😍😍

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 Rocky Hill 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 Rocky Hill 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 Rocky Hill.
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 Rocky Hill. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 Rocky Hill 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.
