“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 had to fly back to Montana and was not able to bring my fur babies. Lilly and her husband took such great care of both my fur babies. I would highly recommend using them. As I will be using them again.”
“Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.”
“I was very pleased with the care my dog received from Rachel. She sent multiple pictures & videos daily. He was well cared for & had a wonderful time as per the photos! He was taken on long hikes daily. I would feel very comfortable having Rachel watch him again and highly recommend her.”
“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!! ☺️”
“We left our Boston Terrier, George, with Nicole for two weeks. Throughout our vacation, Nicole sent updates and photos to let us know how he was doing. He looked quite happy in all the photos, and the updates helped me to not worry. Upon our return, George was very excited to see me, and did not show any signs of being stressed during his stay. He seems to have been well cared for. I am very pleased with Nicole and her care for George. We’ll be booking her again in January for another two weeks.”
“Dew is a great communicator and a pleasure to work with. She clearly cares about the dogs in her care. Juno had a great time and we have already booked another overnight.”
“This is our third time to ask Jieun to help take care of Miaomiao. She is very nice and took several pictures and videos to keep us updated. Miaomiao really liked to stay with her. I highly recommend her to take care of your pets”
“Mariana took such good care of our dog. She was very responsive and our dog feels extremely comfortable at her house (and she can be a nervous girl so that’s really saying something).”
“So pleased with our experience! This was our first time leaving our new puppy. Anner did a great job caring for her. He was responsive with communication and pics. Will definitely use him again.”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and grew up in a family that always had dogs. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. We currently have Bailey, our sweet and gentle Bernese Mountain Dog, as well as a Ragdoll cat, Jades who is also very much part of our family. I love spending time with animals, whether it’s going for walks, visiting the dog park, playing outside, or simply giving them plenty of attention and affection at home. I’m comfortable around dogs of different sizes and personalities and generally connect with them very easily. Our pets are treated like family, and I would care for your pet with the same patience, attention, and kindness I give my own. I work from home most days, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pet throughout the day. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention and companionship. I’m also available on weekends and can be flexible based on your pet’s normal routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. We have a gentle and friendly Bernese Mountain Dog named Bailey and a Ragdoll cat at home, and our pets are truly part of our family. I always take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, feeding schedule, and individual needs. I provide plenty of supervision, attention, walks, playtime, and a loving, comfortable environment so your pet can feel at home while in my care.
“Mari was fantastic! She kept updating me throughout the day about my puppy. She took him out on multiple walks and made sure his exercise needed were met consider my puppy was very high energy. I would definitely rebook.”
About: I grew up with a yellow lab that I cared for throughout my childhood. I now have 2 amazing rescue labs Ellie and Bobby that get along really well with other dogs. I also volunteer with Companion Pet Rescue. I am flexible with my schedule on the weekends and will try my best to accommodate your needs. Just let me know what services you are looking for and I will confirm my availability. I have a fenced in yard which my dogs love to play in. I also take them for walks, runs, or hikes! My home is very clean and quiet. Making it a safe space for your pets that you can feel comfortable leaving them.
“Maria is just fantastic! She is very professional, so very kind and sweet. We received daily updates, pics and videos of our dog Micky. She even groomed him and trimmed his claws for us. Our dog was part of her family and we highly recommend Maria and we will happily use her again. Maria deserves more then 5 stars. ???”
“We were so lucky to find Lily! Their family was absolutely gracious and Mio had a blast! Lily provided plenty of photos and we felt confident leaving him in good hands. We will 100% book again! Thank you Lily!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Southbury
Leaving my sweet dog Lulu in someone else’s care is never easy, but from the moment we met Julie, I knew she was in the best hands. Julie treated Lulu with such patience, kindness, and respect for her pace and needs—it was clear this was not “just a job,” but genuine care. Lulu was comfortable, calm, and clearly adored. I received thoughtful updates and photos that showed not just that she was safe, but that she was happy. Every detail mattered, from her routine to her quirks, and that level of attentiveness gave me complete peace of mind. Coming home to a relaxed, content Lulu meant everything to me. Finding someone I trust for my fur baby is invaluable, and I am so grateful to have found a sitter who truly understands and honors the bond we have with our pets. I would recommend Julie without hesitation to anyone—especially those who treat their pets like a true family member.
We were SO nervous to leave our dog for the first time with someone but the second we met Tierna for our meet and greet, we instantly felt calm and confident. It was so clear how much she cares about the pets she watches and what great care she was going to take care of our boy. During the stay, she sent tons of fantastic pictures, and did everything she could to make our dog feel comfortable and cared for. She even took him on an orientation walk to help him feel comfortable in a new place and ease separation anxiety! We are so grateful we found Tierna and truly could not recommend her more!
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Southbury is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $64 per night. 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 of October 2026, there are 1,043 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 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.
96% of sitters in Southbury can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Southbury 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 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 , 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.
