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!!

Karina did an excellent job looking after my dog while I was away for the weekend. This was my first time having someone watch him, and her regular updates and photos kept me from worrying. Her friendly dog was an added bonus, and it was clear from the moment I picked up Teddy that he had been well-loved and cared for the whole time. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Karina again for future trips.

They are AMAZING!! My little dog Mochi loved them a lot and I can tell he had good time with them. Normally Mochi is very shy with other people. But right away when Mochi sees Nadine family, they are already being friends. They knows dogs well and find out very quick what doggy needs. Friendly, sweet, treat like family. Everyday send me a comment (condition of my dog, what is plan) with good pictures. It makes me feel so much comfortable. Best people ever! I will come back with them. Thank you so much!! ☺️

Itbwas wonderful to find Tatyana... thanks, Rover! She has fantastic communication and took great care of our oulder pup, plus was very flexible with meet & greet, plus pick up / drop off times. There was no problem ensuring he got his meds after eating and he absolutely loved her fenced in yard. Terrific experience! Yes, I would recommend Tatyana as a sitter.

Christopher was kind enough to take my pup on fairly short notice, which I so appreciate. He was friendly, a good communicator, and sent me updates/photos of my dog every day. I can tell Molly enjoyed her stay and I plan to bring her again on my next trip.

We booked last minute with Brianna and we are so glad we did! She was kind and professional from the start. I appreciated how quick and clear of a communicator she was. From the photos she shared with us, it was evident that Loki, our husky, was having a great time and being well cared for. He came home happy and healthy. With Brianna’s genuine love for dogs and experience she has caring for them - I felt at ease when she watched our dog for two weeks. We would definitely book again. Thank you Bri!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I currently have two large dogs of my own not where I currently live but at my home away from college, so I’m very comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, bathing, and keeping pets on their routines. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to care for their pets while they are away because I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love animals. As a college student-athlete, I’m active, responsible, and able to handle energetic dogs while making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently work part-time and go into the office about 3 days a week for around 5 hours at a time. The rest of the week I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for, walk, play with, and give attention to your pets throughout the day. I provide a safe, caring, and comfortable environment for every pet I watch. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and understand the importance of routines, exercise, and attention. I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of playtime, and a clean, stress free environment. I’m also very attentive to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

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.

Amazing Service. Karina was very caring and responsive. She kept us informed with text message with pictures of how the day was progressing with our dog. She was even able to get him to eat regularly — which has been a problem at times. We highly recommend Karina as a Dog sitter and only which she were available to usnear our home in Florida

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Shelton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 1,351 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Shelton. 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.

98% of Shelton 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 Shelton 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 Shelton 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 Shelton.

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 Shelton 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.
