“Victoria did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Kujo! She made sure all the pets were safe, gave him plenty of love and attention, and treated him like one of her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!”
“My dog stayed with Monique for several days in a row. She was great to communicate with. She sent several pictures and videos which my kids loved to see while we were away.”
“This was out first time leaving our dog with a pet sitter. We met with Kayla and felt comfortable leaving Lexi in her care. Kayla was responsive, great at communicating and sharing photos. It was a positive experience.”
About: I bring more than 30 years of professional experience caring for and working with animals. I am internationally renowned for my work with dogs and chimpanzees. I hold multiple degrees and professional certifications in animal related fields. I am an Animal Behaviorist, Primatologist, and certified in canine rehabilitation, first aid and CPR. I am the founder of a non profit that provides wheelchairs for rescue dogs, Aprile’s Memorial French Bulldogs Special Needs Support Services. I have been entrusted with the care of dogs for many prominent families and celebrities who value my deep love of dogs and devotion to treating every animal in my care with compassion, patience and understanding. My days are devoted entirely to caring for dogs and meeting their every need. I enjoy making them feel everyday is their Birthday! I make every day count for every dog I am blessed to care for. I have a rescue French Bulldog Mildred. I have had French Bulldogs for 30 years before they were the most popular breed. I have a very diverse skill set caring for dogs with special needs and behavioral issues. Working with the rescue and rehabilitation of animals as long as I have allows me to not only care for dogs basic needs when they stay in my care but also allows me to offer them extra support in understanding their individual personality and behaviors. I am world renowned for my work in Animal Rehabilitation- for dogs and chimps.
“I can't say enough great things about Jonathan and the care he provides for my two babies Louie and Chase. Like many pet owners, my babies mean the world to me and it takes a lot for me to trust someone with them. Jonathan cares for my dogs as if they were his own. He is extremely professional, responsible, and caring. His scheduling system is very easy to use and he provides very personalized care easy to reach and gives updates after her visits. He is very flexible and reliable and has made my life much easier. I highly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for a dog sitting service.”
“Mark and his family were absolutely wonderful! This was our first time leaving our pup for the weekend so we were of course worried dog parents, but Mark and his wife Kate put us at ease instantly. They took time to introduce our dog Reggie to their dogs to make sure everybody got along, and clearly care about the well being of not only their dogs but the dogs they board. Mark and Kate sent updates throughout the weekend along with great photos of our dog Reggie having the absolute BEST dog weekend. He slept for two days straight after we picked him up, he had so much fun! Reggie already misses his new best dog friends, and we would 10/10 leave him with them again. Thanks to Mark and Kate for giving us peace of mind and for giving our Reggie the best weekend with their Reggie!”
“Emmet had a wonderful stay at Luci's! Luci took great care of him - she was very attentive and sent lots of updates. Emmet also really enjoyed playing with his new friend Cacao. Thanks Luci!”
“I had a last minute request and Jomini responded almost immediately and saved the day. She asked questions to make sure my dog had the proper precautions to be outdoors at her place and checked with me about any specific schedule before drop off. She was super responsive and flexible with timing for drop off / pick up. She sent so many pictures of my dog and I could see he was having a great time!”
“Robin is always so wonderful with our dog, Adelaide. She does regular drop in visits with her so when we need boarding services, Robin is always our first choice! She shows our dog so much care, attention and love.”
“The absolute best!!! Anastasiia went above and beyond with our dog Oliver. She took him on walks, hiking and to the dog park and sent us the most beautiful pictures throughout the day! She is so sweet and I can tell our dog loved his stay! Don’t look any further…Book Anastasiia!! She is the best dog sitter we have ever dealt with!”
About: I am an animal lover here to help! I grew up with animals, and have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I also owned ducks and chickens for several the years. I have many years experience with a variety of medical issues pertaining to dogs and cats, including allergies and epilepsy. I also have years of experience in dog and puppy training (not professionally), including adopting my own puppy 2 years ago. That same puppy is now approved and undergoing training to be a psychiatric service dog. My other 2 dogs are also well trained. Although we’re happy to take it easy, we also love to hike and would be happy to take your dog along! I work with animals full time and love it! My schedule changes based on the needs of my clients for that week, and I adjust as needed. My pets are my babies! I have a fenced in yard, with a dog door to access it. It does close, and can be kept closed during the day if needed as my dogs are extremely well trained, and also have the option to access to my home office (a separate building in the back yard) if needed. They have full range and free access to the downstairs, except we discourage them being in the kitchen. Our dogs are kept from the upstairs by a secured baby gate. They are allowed up there, just usually attended because the puppy sometimes confuses her human sisters toys for her own! We have a large property with a trail that we take our dogs up to, and also live very close to several hiking trails that we frequent. One of our dogs had to retire from long walks and hikes, so he stays home now, but he still loves a good car ride and a short easy walk!
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience having Erika watch our dog, Gotham, for the week! She took amazing care of him and treated our furbaby like her own. Erika stayed in touch the entire time, sending pictures and updates that gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Gotham was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. We highly recommend Erika to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! 🐾❤️”
“From the moment we met Rachel we knew she was a true dog lover! Galileo warmed up to her immediately! Rachel sent pics and updates, and I could tell she kept Galileo busy and he felt at home at her place. I am very picky on who I leave our dog with, and I will definitely use Rachel again! Thank you Rachel!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Karen! She was attentive, caring, and treated my fur baby as if she were their own. I felt completely at ease knowing my pet was in such good hands. Communication was great, and I truly appreciated the love and attention her and her family provided. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Boarding in Southbury is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $67 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,077 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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
