“Saori took wonderful care of our Gus during his week long Thanksgiving stay. He enjoyed his long trips to the dog park and all the cuddles and care he receives throughout the week!”
“I was caught in a bind as I was moving and my current place had to cancel due to the weather. This is my first time using Rover and I needed to find someone to watch my pup. River is a bit reserved and can be very nervous. Pam is a life saver. She sent pictures throughout her visit and I was completely at ease during a very stressful move. I will definitely recommend Pam and will reach out to her again whenever I need a sitter for my girl. Thanks a million. You are the best!!!”
“Wow, Valerie was amazing. I knew my dogs and cat were in good care. She sent us photos throughout the ENTIRE stay and it made me feel so comfortable. My family was worried about leaving our pets with a 'stranger' but Valerie didnt feel like that to us. Her property was GORGEOUS! and had so much room for the puppies to run around and play. They were all tired out and we could tell by the photos she sent us of our dogs sleeping. My cat was also welcomed and had a nice time too. 11/10”
“Pretty sure my dog likes Yahaira & Lucky more than us now ? Knox had a blast & Yahaira was very attentive to him. We got daily updates with lots of pictures! We cannot wait to book again ?”
“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.”
“Chestnut had a wonderful experience. I appreciated Lilliana sending me daily pictures of Chestnut so my daughters could see him enjoying his stay. Thank you again Lilliana for taking such great care of chestnut.”
“So glad I found Rich! Apollo had a total blast playing with the dogs the 2 days he was there. Rich sent lots of videos & pictures which made me feel so comfortable that he was doing well! Rich was very accomodating & has a great way with dogs. Would definitely leave Apollo there again!”
“Kara is absolutely amazing! She has watched my dog many times, and every experience has been wonderful. She’s great with my dog, incredibly patient, and genuinely caring. I can always trust that my dog is well taken care of, loved, and treated like family when she’s with Kara. She is so sweet and attentive, and it gives me complete peace of mind knowing my pup is in her hands. I highly recommend Kara to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and truly exceptional dog sitter!”
“Excellent care of my puppy again. My little Bailey can sometimes be shy or anxious. When I dropped her off, she was so excited to be there, ran off to play immediately and never looked back! Lol That let me know that she likes it there and this family takes care of her.”
“Elizabeth is the absolute best with our dogs! Our older dog was having some GI issues and she went out of her way to cook for her and keep us updated. When we picked her up the issues were resolved and our dogs were so happy!!! The updates she gave daily were a great comfort and she was extremely responsive ☺️”
“Amazing experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ They took such great care of Zagu and made me feel completely at ease. Super caring, reliable, and attentive. I would absolutely book with them again!”
“Nadine and her family were wonderful in taking care of our dog, Stella, while we were away. They were very attentive to Stella’s needs and personality and kept to her regular routine. Nadine kept us updated of Stella throughout her stay which is important when apart from your pets. We will definitely be using Nadine and Daniel again as dog sitters and highly recommend them to anyone considering a sitter for their pets.”
“Our dog, Bagel, enjoyed a wonderful vacation of his own with Nicole! This was his second time staying with Nicole. Bagel is pretty social so being able to play with Nicole's own dogs as well as any other boarders was just the best treat for him. Nicole's daily pictures and quick updates gave peace of mind and assured us that we made the right choice for boarding. Thank you and we will definitely be back!”
“We had such a great experience with Jennifer who care of our dog, Daisy, for almost a week. Jennifer was very communicative throughout the week - keeping us updated throughout our trip with thoughtful messages and plenty of photos showing Daisy relaxed, happy, and clearly enjoying her time with Jennifer and her family. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Daisy was in such caring and capable hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jennifer again—highly recommended!”
“Bruce saved us when our regular dog sitter had a last minute change. We're so glad we met him. He took great care of our Remy and was so communicative and attentive. So glad we met him!”
“We were looking for a warm family to take care of our French bulldog, Rueben. Nicole and Joseph’s family welcomed and doted on him the entire time he was in their care. Plenty of walks, snuggles and dog play dates were had! We look forward to rebooking with them in the future!”
“I really appreciated the care my precious dog received. I was a last minute holiday booking. Nina was shown warmth, flexibility and compassion. This was visible through the pictures I received daily, videos and the puppy report cards. I will absolutely book again!”
“I recently left my beloved furry friend with Christina for few days, and I couldn't be happier with the care she provided. Christina demonstrated exceptional communication throughout the entire time, keeping me updated with daily pictures and messages that truly put my mind at ease. Daily exercise is crucial for my dog, and I was pleased to hear that Christina took her outside to the yard regularly for play and exercise. Not only did my dog come back happy and healthy, but Christina also managed to create a bond that goes beyond the typical sitter-client relationship. It's reassuring to know that there are caring individuals like her on Rover. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate dog sitter. Thank you, Christina for your excellent service, and I look forward to booking with you again in the future!”

Another excellent booking with Tierna. She is amazing with my elderly, crazy, dog-reactive dogs. Also, I can tell that she loves them and appreciates their specialness, which is so nice and comforting when I'm missing them. Her photos and updates are wonderful. She's just excellent. I feel so so good leaving them with her. Thank you so much, Tierna!

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.
96% of Southbury 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 Southbury 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 Southbury 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 Southbury.
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 Southbury 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.
