“Our dogs had a wonderful stay with Jessica and Ian. They were well cared for and we will definitely use them in the future when we have to board our dogs.”
“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.”
“Valerie and her daughter Maddie were amazing for Jameson's first stay at their home. We received several updates and many pictures during his one night stay. Her dogs are super sweet and Jameson enjoyed their company. She has a beautiful property for hikes too. Jameson will definitely be back.”
“Bruce was wonderful with our pup, Cody! He was very communicative throughout the stay, and it was clear that Cody had a really nice time with him. We are grateful for his efforts to take such good care of Cody!!”
“Poppy had a wonderful time with Jennifer. She is very caring and attentive. She sent me multiple pictures each day and kept me informed. This is my second time using Jennifer to care for Poppy, and I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you Jennifer.”
“We had a great experience with Kate! Our dog, Sampson, stayed in her home and was very well cared for. Communication was easy and consistent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. Sampson is pretty easygoing, but it was clear he was treated with attention and kindness. We will definitely book with them again.”
“Rich was a joy to meet and to care for our 2 pups! We loved his daily puppy pics & videos. Our Lucy loved Rich & our big shy guy, Percy, who soon settled in, too. Great experience at the house of Rich and his two fur babies.”
“Erika took care of our Baby “Rydah” She sent regular updates along with photos, meal times, and Rydah’s walking schedule. We WILL be using Erika again. Strongly recommend her to any other family. Thanks Erika Rydah will see you soon!”
“Elizabeth went above and beyond for our 2 babies!! She communicated with texts and pictures their entire stay and even gave them treat bags, toys, and a detailed report at their pick up! It was my first time leaving my fur babies with anyone other than family and I won’t ever hesitate to leave them with Elizabeth again! She was simply the best!!”
“This family is absolutely wonderful. They watched our two dogs for the first time for 6 nights. One of my dogs is a senior and the other has epilepsy and needs medicine twice a day. This family took great care of the two of them and sent me daily updates and pictures. I will definitely book again with them!!”
“Yajaira took my pup in at the last minute & also was able to extend her stay since I had gotten surgery & realized I needed a little more recovery time. Yajaira also stayed in touch & sent me pics on a regular basis. My pup seemed in good spirits after two weeks with Yajaira & that let me know she had taken good care of her. Will book with Yajaira again.”
“Gwynne was absolutely amazing with our little girl. She went above and beyond to make us comfortable as it was the first time we had left her for an extended period of time.”
“Winnie had a great time with Rachel! Rachel is clearly very experienced with dogs, and I felt very comfortable leaving Winnie with her. She knew exactly how to give Winnie the time she needed to sniff around and feel comfortable in Rachel's environment. It was clear that Rachel gave Winnie a lot of one on one attention. She also took her on a walk at the park. Rachel took the time to debrief me on how Winnie's day went, and seemed to really understand Winnie's personality. Rachel's experience with caring for and training dogs gave me a ton of peace of mind in leaving my precious pup with her.”
“Nicole is wonderful and was took great care of my 2 little yorkies that require a bit more care and attention than larger dogs. She keep me posted with pictures during the stay which can eliminate feeling anxious knowing that your animals are being well cared for and loved. I highly recommend Nicole and her family if you are in need of a sitter!”
“My dog Barkley has stayed with Anthony twice so far. I was worried about trying a new sitter, but things worked out great! We had a meet and greet first and Anthony explained everything in detail, and my dog got to meet his dog. He has a huge backyard which is great for my dog who always wants to play. We received updates on how Barkley was doing and my dog felt comfortable with him. I would recommend!”
“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!”
“Annette is amazing! She is a natural with dogs and she is so lovely. She took care of our dog while we were gone with no problems and he couldnt have been happier when we picked him up. We will be using her again and again. Don’t hesitate if you need a great sitter for your pup.”
“Katie was wonderful! We booked Katie after having concerns with the last sitter following instructions. Katie spoke with us on the phone and was able to assure us she could meet all of Bugsy’s needs. Bugsy is an older dog, so she can be a handful sometimes. But she seemed so well taken care of with Katie. Katie sent photos and updates of Bugsy. She worked with our schedule for drop off and pick up. Overall Bugsy came back happy and in good spirits. I felt great picking her up and feel confident she was well taken care of during our trip.”
“First thing- Meghan was great! Finn states with her fior 4 nights and I couldn’t have asked for more out of a sitter. She communicated well with us during his stay and is overall a very kind, responsible sitter. I will (and I’m sure Finn) be looking forward to booking with her in the future!”

Valerie has watched my dogs twice this month and both times they have come home tired and happy! I have a 14yr old senior dog and a 6 month old puppy and both were taken care of and loved while I was gone. I got regular photos and I was able to trust they were in great hands the whole time!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sandy Hook on Rover is $71.67 per night (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 1,210 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sandy Hook. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
97% 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.
