“This was our very first time leaving our dog Scarlet with a sitter other than family and needless to say I was a bit anxious...but after our meet and great day I knew Patrick and Susan were the sitters for her! It was definitely like a home away from home feel. They had a great set-up in their home and yard for Scarlet to feel comfortable. They are very caring and went above and beyond with Scarlet. The day we were supposed to drop Scarlet off, she had developed a sore on her hind leg and Patrick and Susan were so wonderful and reassuring that they would take good care of it. We were taking a trip for a week out of the country and felt so comfortable knowing Scarlet was in great hands! All the photos, texts and updates on Scarlet were even more reassuring! We are so grateful to have found Patrick and Susan for Scarlet and definitely will be using them again! We totally recommend them!!”
“Brittany is amazing. She literally will treat your pet like her own and spoils them like they should be ❤️ I know my husky loves staying with her and she is my go to person! He even got a toy for Christmas. He gets so much exercise and love. Thank you Brittany!”
“Clifford loved his stay with Alan & Luis! The fenced in yard and friendly pups tired Cliff out; he slept for a whole day after picking him up. Thanks for taking such great care of him!”
“Elizette provided the best care for Winston! He had an amazing time with her 2 dogs running around in the enclosed yard. She did a great job with his feeding and going out schedule. Thank you!!”
“My girls were so happy in Becky's home and she took great care of them. I've never left them with a stranger overnight and she sent frequent updates and pictures to ease my mind. We would absolutely use her again.”
“We appreciated Amira so much for taking care of our two rabble-rousers. She provided a comforting presence and I could see they felt completely at home, which isn’t an easy task. In addition, we reached out midway through their stay and she responded immediately- this gave us peace of mind as well. Thank you!”
“Jessica was a wonderful host for our dog, Ruthie. She would send us daily pictures of Ruthie playing with other dogs. She would share highlights of Ruthie's day and notify us of any concerns that came up. I highly recommend that anyone who wants thorough and loving attention for their dog board with Jessica.”
“Allison Nicole (and family) were lovely with Georgie. It's the first time she stayed at someone's house overnight, so I was nervous. We communicated a couple of times. Georgie was nervous at first, but then settled in well. Thank you Allison Nicole!”
“Sandra was wonderful to work with! She was easy to communicate with, and I knew Otis was in great hands. He came home happy and relaxed after his stay. ✨”

“I am very happy to have found Mallory and James! I have a 3.5 year old boxer bulldog mix who has a ton of energy, and this is my first time leaving her overnight (other than at my parents). I had a family wedding across the country to attend to, so I did a test run the week before for my dog, Mocha. She did great at the test run, and for the wedding I left her with Mallory and James for 5 nights. They sent pictures and kept me updated that Mocha was safe and having fun. When we picked up mocha, she was sad to leave her friends and wiped out when we got home from all of the playing! I will definitely leave her with Mallory and James again, thanks so much for taking such good care of my baby!”
“We are so lucky to have found Stephen! He’s wonderful with our pup - and with us as well! We always check his availability first when we need someone to care for our girl. Highly recommend!”
“Janelle was absolutely wonderful with Bug and Bean. She took the time to schedule a meet-and-greet ahead of the weekend, which immediately put us at ease, and she was incredibly sweet, flexible, and accommodating throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated with regular check-ins and photos, which we really appreciated, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Janelle again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.”
“Kristen was wonderful at watching our cat! We appreciated the pictures she sent while we were away, and she clearly loves animals (and they love her!). We would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter!”
“I left for vacation and had to leave my kitty, Riott, behind, and I’m so grateful I found Katarina. She was absolutely amazing with him and made him feel right at home. She gave him lots of love, paid close attention to his needs, and treated him so well. She also kept me updated every day with adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It felt so reassuring knowing Riott was with someone who genuinely cared about him and knew how to take care of him. I will definitely book with Katarina again!”
“Sherry was amazing! I would highly recommend her and will be using her services again. She communicated with us and sent updates to help us know our pup was doing good. She is very calm and relaxed and the ideal environment to leave your pet with.”
“Maggie took great care of our pup! She is a great communicator, easy to contact and quick to respond. She shared photos and updates along the way. Would highly recommend Maggie, and will use Maggie again for sure!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their South Willington home-away-from-home, 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 South Willington.
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 South Willington 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 , 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 .
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.
