“We have been looking for a “go-to” dog sitter since moving to the New Haven area this summer, and we’ve certainly found one in Noemi and David. We reached out on short notice, looking to board our dog for a long weekend, and they were nothing but accommodating. We were able to quickly schedule a meet and greet, visit their home, and socialize our dog with their family (and their dog, Milo). When we dropped him off there for boarding, we were as comfortable as we could be and had no hesitation in trusting Noemi and David to take care of him. We received great updates/videos over the weekend, and communication was consistently clear and prompt. Our dog seems to have settled right in and came home happily exhausted from plenty of play time this weekend. I can’t recommend Noemi and David enough. We won’t be looking to board our pup with anyone else as long as they’re available!”
“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.”
“We were extremely happy with our experience! Ryan was knowledgeable and attentive to our dog. We received many updates and pictures while we were away which we really appreciated. He was even willing to bathe him after a run in with a mud puddle. 😅 We’ll definitely be repeat customers.”
“We had a great experience with Nicole, Joseph and their family as they watched our mini poodle, Jack, over the weekend. They sent us lots of photos, kept in touch on how he was doing and gave us back our little Jack, happy as always. Highly recommend this lovely family!”
“Dew was wonderful! Our sweet girl can be nervous and uneasy in new situations and Dew was endlessly patient and warm putting her at ease while she was staying with her. Dew sent pictures adn updates to keep us in the loop and was super quick in responding to any questions we had! I would absolutely recommend her and hope to have her pet sit Sankaty for us again!”
“I’m absolutely neurotic about my dog and I felt completely comfortable with Stephanie. We actually had another rover cancel on us last minute and Stephanie was able to accommodate us last minute. I would 100% recommend and use her in the future. She’s clearly a dog person and very responsible.”
“Sue was great. Really patient and accommodating. My pup was returned to me happy and healthy. Her husband was also very nice and they both seemed very confident and comfortable with my pup who’s a 48lb pittie. Thank you Sue and Franky. We appreciated your care and attention to our fur baby. Sue also sent regular selfies of the pup and was quick to reply to messages.”
“Second time leaving Cobie with Diana and her family and Cobie couldn’t have been more excited when we pulled back up to the house! So grateful to find someone to look after her like she was their own, that sends tons of updates and enjoys her quirky lovable Golden vibes. Thanks again and 100% will reach out next time I travel to see you all can watch Cobie again!”
“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.”
“We appreciated Kyle’s flexibility and patience with our pup, she is not accustomed to being away from us. The updates and photos were great, it was comforting to know she was doing well while we were away.”
“Annmarie was great with Chase. She was very knowledgeable and provided some good insights and tips for his training. This was his first time away from us since moving to CT. She communicated consistently and helpled us feel at ease.”
“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”
“Catie and her husband were able to take care of my dog when travel plans changed last minute. I was very nervous with a new sitter but they took great care of Barkley. They sent videos and pictures thru out his stay and were very responsive when I reached out to check on how he was doing. I would recommend them and use again!”
“Lily is WONDERFUL. She is very loving and kind to my Boozle and Pepe. She took excellent care of them. What I loved is getting daily pics and movies of my little guys. They get tons of attention and Lily picked up on their habits right away. I highly recommend Lily. Total peace of mind.”
“Jayme was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and always responded quickly to our messages. We felt so at ease knowing Finnegan was in such good hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and that he had a great time with her dogs. We highly recommend Jayme to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”

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 for Pet Boarding in Southbury on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,070 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Southbury. About 90% of Southbury sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
