“Saori has been so patient and caring with our Pomsky puppy. Since we work from home, I was concerned he wasn’t socializing enough and of course he has lots of energy. Daycare with Saori will be a big help in our journey together. We got really lucky finding her right from the start.”
“Jessica was great! Willow seemed like she loved staying there, was well taken care of and met some new friends. Very responsive to any questions that we had. We would love to have Jessica watch her again. Overall this was great as this is our first time using Rover.”
“Claudia did a fabulous job sending us pictures and keeping us updated on our dog child! We had a hard time finding a sitter in VA over the holidays and ended up bringing him up to CT when we visited family for Christmas. We were confident leaving him with Claudia, and would board him with her again if we ever bring him back up to CT!”

“Hi Rachael, I just wanted to say thank you so much for watching April. It meant the world to me to see the photos of the hikes and know she was in such good hands.

“Sue was great. Really patient and accommodating. My pup was returned to me happy and healthy. Her husband was also very nice and they both seemed very confident and comfortable with my pup who’s a 48lb pittie. Thank you Sue and Franky. We appreciated your care and attention to our fur baby. Sue also sent regular selfies of the pup and was quick to reply to messages.”

“It is truly difficult not to repeat my prior review about Nicole because she is amazing. Her warmth and compassion relieved all my anxiety of having Shaq stay with her for a week. My Shaq, little French Bulldog had royal treatment at her house. Besides that Nicole is a perfect match to care for Shaq her property is ideal for Shaq to run around in her backyard safely. It is completely fenced in and plenty of places to rest. Nicole also kept me updated everyday with pictures and texts. The world needs more people like Nicole and I am so grateful to have met her. As long as Nicole willing to watch and be available for Shaq then I will be at peace when I am away. Thank you again Nicole”

“Elizabeth has provided the best dog boarding service for my baby boy. I am not exaggerating either. I showed a lot of concern at first, due to a prior bad experience. In return, she was extremely understanding, kind and supportive. She has very welcoming energy and a very sweet personality. Also, her pup Ohana was cute and made the whole process easier. I would absolutely book Elizabeth again for more services in the future!!! Thank you! 10/10 🙂”

“We have booked 3 times (4th coming soon) with this lovely family and were thrilled with how much our Luna fell in love with them. Nadine, Daniel and Noah were the absolute best fit for us and our puppy. Luna received the attention she is used to, played ALOT, went on walks and quickly became a part of their family. We have used the daycare and dog sitting service with them. Very clean house, where Luna could roam and explore. I can not express my gratitude enough for this family and for them taking care of our Luna.”

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
98% of Sandy Hook sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Sandy Hook landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sandy Hook 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 Sandy Hook.
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.
You and your Sandy Hook 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.
