“Saori took fantastic care of our large doodle Toby for two weeks while we were traveling. We received daily updates with pictures and videos, which was really great. Toby had so much fun and will be going back next time we travel. I highly recommend Saori to anyone who needs a skilled and kind person to care of their pet.”
“Jessica and Ian did an amazing job taking care of my pup during my wedding weekend! She has never napped so hard when we brought her home! Will definitely use them in the future of all of my dogs pet sitting needs!”
“Claudia is great! This was the third time I left my dog with her and every time our experience was very good. She sends the pictures of the dog everyday and that gives us comfort that our baby is happy. ?”
“Valerie & her family were wonderful with our 5 month old puppy. Her house & property are very well kept & great for pets. Valerie put me at ease with her messages while we were away. I will use her again.”
“We were extremely happy with our experience! Ryan was knowledgeable and attentive to our dog. We received many updates and pictures while we were away which we really appreciated. He was even willing to bathe him after a run in with a mud puddle. 😅 We’ll definitely be repeat customers.”
“Dan and his parents did an excellent job caring for Jessie, our 7 year old Golden Retriever. After meeting them, we felt confident that we could trust them to keep her safe and care for her properly. They went out of their way to make sure Jessie felt at home and treated her like one of the family. She enjoyed long walks and lots of cuddle time! I like that they only board one dog at a time so they were able to give her their undivided attention. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was in their loving and competent care. Jessie came home happy and relaxed and we would love to use them again!”
“We brought our Bernese, Romeo, to Michele when we were expecting our baby so we were in the hospital for a few days. Michele offered to take him a day earlier for us so we could get ready for the arrival of our baby, and was able to keep him an extra day last minute when we were returning home. Romeo had a great time with Michele’s dog, Duke. She sent us photos and kept us updated during the few days Romeo was with her. We knew he was in great hands while staying at her house. We will definitely use Michele again!”
“Kathryn took such good care of Marley! She sent me updates every day and pictures! So happy to have found such a reliable, flexible, and easy to communicate with sitter for our fur baby!”
“We have booked with Madison several times for our pups. Madison has been amazing with Holly and Murray every time they have stayed with her. She’s super reliable and really loves our pups, so we always know they're in good hands. Highly recommend her!”
“Little skeptical with the app at first, but after reading all the reviews of the several individuals I contacted , and reading the reviews about Rachel, I decided to give this app a chance . So happy I gave Rachel a chance ! Nothing but positive reviews !!!! I got daily photos of my dog having a better time with her than with me. I actually started feeling a little jealous , almost at the point where I was afraid he would not come home with me. She’s awesome very attentive would highly recommend her.”
“Nicole was a FANTASTIC dog sitter/boarder, yet again! We were away for almost two weeks, and she was in touch with us everyday with pictures of our dog as well as updates on what she was up to. It made being away from Ava (our dog) guilt-free as we knew she was having a blast at Nicole's and being so well cared for. We will absolutely be using Nicole again as a dog boarder and would highly recommend her!”
“Our pug Hazel received the best care from Bruce. This is the first time we left our puppy with someone and we are very happy. Bruce sent us pics and updates each day. He spoiled her! We will contact Bruce again in the future!”

She gave her her drops, her eye drops three times a day on schedule, sent me pictures and videos. I was hoping Josie would a still wanna come home with me and not stay with Catherine.!!!Sue w.”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sandy Hook on Rover is $71.25 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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.
