“Rachel was amazing with our deaf pup, Hazel! She was so communicative and made us feel comfortable. Hazel had a wonderful time at daycare! Would recommend Rachel to everyone!”
“I had a great experience with Kyle! Very kind, attentive, and took great care of my girl that I recently adopted. Communication was great and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was happy and well taken care of, especially on days where I work long and she can get care and play. I would absolutely recommend Kyle to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
About: I have 2 labs (1 lab German Shepard mix and 1 lab), who love to play and romp around, as well as the finer things in life like relaxation.My working schedule allows me to work from home full time, huge plus for the pups and kiddos. We travel about once a year for 2 weeks, and mostly spend our time in town as our boys do sports. I was a dog walker and sitter for 2 years in college, had a dog growing up as a child and I’ve rescued and adopted 5 pups with my husband. Since I'm use to the early mornings, walking the fur babies early is not a problem. I believe a tired dog is a happy dog and I try to make sure they get as much play time and attention as needed. Treating the fur babies as family members, means they have their beds, own couch, toys and free range in our house.
“Moby had a great time! Thank you so much for being so caring and loving! We really appreciate the flexibility as well! We hope to bring Moby back to play with the girls soon! ~ Yuki & Jeremy”
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. I currently have a friendly corgi and I will treat your pet like my other pets: as a valued member of our family. I am home full-time and am always available for your pet's needs such as going for a walk or visiting a dog park to play and run free. My schedule is very flexible and I am available anytime for visits or walking/playing. I will ensure your pet stays on a routine without any disruption. I have a friendly corgi at home and your pet is free to roam our house. I generally maintain a dog-friendly home and provide a safe and caring environment for all pets. I can work with any routine a customer has for their own pet.
“We left Boone with Ryan for a few hours and boy did our boy came home sooooo exhausted! Ryan took him to the local dog park to run around and then he played with another pup at the house the rest of the night. Ryan’s communication is great, sharing videos and photos all throughout Boone’s stay. We’ll definitely keep Ryan in mind to watch our boy again in the future.”
“Gwynne is amazing! We just started using her a few weeks ago and every time my dog Lola goes to stay at Gwynne’s she is excited and has a great time. I definitely recommend Gwynne, she’s the only dog sitter we use ☺️”
“Dew goes above and beyond for my puppy. Checks in regularly when he is in her care and even checks in when he is at home. As a first time user of a dog-sitter, I was anxious about leaving my puppy in someone else’s care. Dew almost immediately alleviated my concerns. I feel like her care has been a major benefit for me and for my puppy’s social development. Will continue to take advantage of Dew’s services for the foreseeable future. Highly recommended!”
“Seems like my boys adjusted well to a new environment and humans. My youngest fur baby can be very anxious at times and I have a very senior fur baby that needed extra TLC. I was glad to have someone that understand the specific needs of my babies. I am excited for their next visit!!!”
“Rachael was able to help us out with very little notice. She was so sweet with my 2 pups and they loved her. They are older and really just want someone to sit with them and give them hugs. My chihuahua is sometimes a little grouchy & nervous. Rachael put them right at ease and handled them well on walks. We hope we can have her back again soon!”
About: *UPDATED 6/25 (I will gladly overly love and take care of all the animals I've learned 🙈🤣 if not comfortable with your animal getting attention x10...I'm not your girl 🤣 I set this up randomly one day with spare time wanting to work with animals and not wanting to full time do it, come to my surprise that has not been the case...I currently walk two AMAZING elderly dogs 3x a week and am very strict on breeds I'm willing to board after 2 boarding situations with the most amazing sweet dogs and one that made my animals want to abandon me 🙈🤣 if requesting boarding or day care please understand if I decline requests from breeds I'm hesitant about my dog and 2 cats being comfortable with ❤️ always up for a meet and greet before deciding!)* I was raised with Border Collies, Maltese, German Shepards, Norwegian Elk hounds, between fostering, personal pets and caring for friends/families pets. Cared for and hand fed puppies my whole life as well as cared for senior dogs needing a slower, more loving pace in their later years. I run my own business and work from home allowing me a lot more free time and flexibility than most in and outside my home for care. I have 2 very smart and sweet cats (1 years old and 4 years old) as well as a 10 year old Norwegian Elk Hound. All 3 are more than accustomed to random animals being in and out of the home as anyone with animals that comes over is more than welcome and encouraged to bring them along. Animals are children and completely apart of the family in our world and household. Capable of crating animals yet prefer freedom for the babies if possible. *BONUS happy if great off leash staying with humans and our dog!*
“Catarina did a wonderful job taking care of our puppy for the day. Lucky had a great time with her and Addison. Defiantly will go with Catarina again! We recommend her for sure!”

I am open to boarding however I do have a dog as well! I am looking for something part-time, as I am a college student at Roger Williams University!

Saori was an absolute breathe of fresh air to meet and eased all my nerves around the doggos staying. I can’t say enough about the property and dreams taking place there. Pups are exhausted and were absolutely nonchalant about staying and have just been laying after a long fun day. Took them to a local dog park to pass them off tired and everyone knew Saori and recommended her as a dog sitter or used her services themselves. It’s nice to find people and places like Saori. Highly recommend.
Valerie took excellent care of our 4.5 month old medium labradoodle puppy, Cooper, for two days in a row (daytime only). He had a wonderful time playing with her dog, Henry, and sent lots of pics and videos to update us along the way. We would be happy to use her services again!
We've had a wonderful experience with Valerie; she is sweet and very attentive to us and our puppy. Her home is very welcoming to pets. She sends photos and videos throughout the day, and we see what a great time our Lily is having with her dog Henry. Looking forward to another stay.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Sandy Hook is $32 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $60 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 923 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Sandy Hook. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Sandy Hook 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 923 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 .
