“Saori was such a great sitter for our pups (1 year old great pyrenees). She took them to the dog park in the morning for a couple of hours, helped continue our invisibile fence training, and sent us so many pics and updates throughout the weekend. I could tell how happy and comfortable our dogs were in her home and under her care. They came home so tired because they had so much fun with her and the other dogs!”
“Jessica was great! Willow seemed like she loved staying there, was well taken care of and met some new friends. Very responsive to any questions that we had. We would love to have Jessica watch her again. Overall this was great as this is our first time using Rover.”
“Loved loved loved bringing Leo here. Elizabeth was super responsive - giving me a report with tons of pictures each morning and night. Leo’s stay allowed me to enjoy my vacation and know he was in good hands.”
“Kathryn is probably the best Rover sitter we’ve had (and we’ve used some lovely sitters). Our dogs are anxious when they’re left, and Kathryn really helped them feel at ease - her fenced yard was perfect and they just seemed to trust her. I’d highly recommend booking your pet’s stay with her!”
“It was my first time leaving the babies with someone. I was reassured everything would be okay. Bruce always updated me on everything and made sure to send lots of photos too. My dogs were taken care of well and loved. I felt at ease leaving them for the weekend.”
“I am so happy to have found Jennifer to watch my pup, Flynn. It was his first boarding but I knew he would be in great hands. I got updates through his stay with pictures and it looked like he was having the best time running around and playing. I highly recommend!!!”
“Yajaira watched my baby girl for a week when i left for a cruise. I had limited service and was a bit on edge since i had to find a last minute sitter since my girls last sitter moved to another state. Yajaira made me feel comfortable and kept me updated as much as she could. Genesis also became comfortable with her which made me even more comfortable :)9”
“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.”
“We were very nervous to leave our Zeus with someone we haven’t met before but Cassandra made us feel so at ease in her beautiful home. Zeus did so great and it was great that Cassandra sent updates and picture and video of our boy. Highly recommend!”
“My dogs loved every minute of their stay! I loved all the picture updates and text updates about how they were doing. Thank you so much, Erika for taking such great care of my dogs!”
“Rich took fantastic care of our dogs! When we picked them up from Rich the dogs hardly wanted to leave! He is so caring and gentle with the dogs and has an awesome fenced in backyard set up that any dog would love. Rich was also excellent in his communication and interactions with us. When we met, he took his time with us (and the dogs) to tell us about himself and his dog care philosophy. While we were away, he sent adorable pictures and videos of the dogs every day. Plus, he was kind enough to help our dogs transition to a new kind of dog food during their stay with zero issues. We’re very grateful for the wonderful care Rich provided our dogs and would strongly recommend him to anyone in need of dog sitting!”
“Kara was amazing!! Going through a lot and I needed someone to take care of my two cats. She took them last minute and was so caring from the get go! One of my cats is very shy and he felt at home right away! I ended up extending the time because of my current situation. Will use her again!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Nicole and her girls treated Bella like family. My dog loves kids, so I loved that there were so many friendly faces for her to play with! She usually is so sad when we pick her up from boarding facilities. Bella was her normal chipper self when we picked her up from Nicole’s house!! I could not be more grateful to have found them. Bella had a wonderful weekend☺️☺️”
“If you're looking for someone to care for your pet with the utmost love, attention, and dedication, look no further than Christina. She truly went above and beyond during the 6 days she watched my 2-month-old puppy. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in safe hands. Christina made him feel like part of her family, showering him with affection, keeping him engaged, and ensuring he felt comfortable and secure. What truly stood out was her exceptional communication throughout the entire experience. She sent me a steady stream of photos and videos, keeping me updated on his adventures, which gave me peace of mind and let me enjoy my time away without worry. It was so clear that Christina was genuinely invested in his well-being and happiness. I can’t thank Christina and her family enough for her incredible care. My puppy came back happy, healthy, and even more social, thanks to the amazing experience he had with her. If you're considering someone to look after your fur baby, Christina is hands down the best. You’ll never have to worry again – your pup will be loved like part of the family.”
“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!”
“Rachael was helpful, communicative, trustworthy and responsive - she made the process a breeze and took great care of our dog. Everyday I was sent photos of her running, playing, exploring and having fun. Pepper even came back with sharpened training — I will be booking again and again!”

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!
TLDR: Definitely book Tierna to watch your dog(s). She is EXCELLENT. I have two old, yappy, other dog-hating maltese mixes. I've never left them before. Tierna made sure they were her only client for my 11 day trip. Also, she doesn't have her own dog which is KEY and hard to find. She was loving, funny, communicative, and made me feel like my dogs were valued and loved and taken care of. Her updates were hilarious and touching. My dogs felt safe and WE felt safe on their behalf. She's wonderful. I can't say enough good things and I would use her again in a heartbeat.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Southbury on Rover is $44.4 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 1,063 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Southbury. 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 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.
