“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.”
“Bruce was SO amazing with our anxious rescue dog Max. We had never left him anywhere and were very nervous. Bruce made the experience extremely easy and sent many pictures and updates throughout the day that put us at ease. The second time we brought Max there he was so excited to see Bruce!! We truly couldn’t recommend him enough!”
“This was my first experience with leaving my Liv with Noemi and David. They were fantastic and my pup is tired out. Thank you so much for taking care of her 💜”
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.
“Loretta was beyond amazing, we had a previous sitter that did not want to continue to watch Luna and she stepped in and took her in while we were out of state. She returned our 15 year old pup to us with what seems 5 years less, she was happy, bathed and even a little thinner! She was responsive, kind, sent us pictures and so extremely communicative in a good way. We will forever take our dogs to Loretta’s house for any weekend or trip away! Thanks Loretta Luna loves you! Xoxo”
“Dan and his parents did an excellent job caring for Jessie, our 7 year old Golden Retriever. After meeting them, we felt confident that we could trust them to keep her safe and care for her properly. They went out of their way to make sure Jessie felt at home and treated her like one of the family. She enjoyed long walks and lots of cuddle time! I like that they only board one dog at a time so they were able to give her their undivided attention. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was in their loving and competent care. Jessie came home happy and relaxed and we would love to use them again!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Nicole is wonderful and was took great care of my 2 little yorkies that require a bit more care and attention than larger dogs. She keep me posted with pictures during the stay which can eliminate feeling anxious knowing that your animals are being well cared for and loved. I highly recommend Nicole and her family if you are in need of a sitter!”
“The best with my girl Persephone. She was able to take her in very last minute and was very very flexible. I really appreciate all of her help and the way she was with Persephone during this tough transitional period. Loved all the pictures and videos she sent and I noticed that Persephone became less stressed overtime which I love. Highly recommend Madalys to everyone!”
“Isabel is fantastic! She took care of our injured pup for 4 nights. I felt so comfortable that she was taking care of our girl while we were away. She got all kinds of love including stories read to her by her child. I highly recommend Isabel!”
“Stephanie was wonderful with Max while we were away for the holidays!! She was very responsive and sent us lots of pictures and updates. Max had a great time at her house! Would highly recommend”
“First thing- Meghan was great! Finn states with her fior 4 nights and I couldn’t have asked for more out of a sitter. She communicated well with us during his stay and is overall a very kind, responsible sitter. I will (and I’m sure Finn) be looking forward to booking with her in the future!”
“She was efficient and extremely nice and I can definitely tell Pepper had fun. Will definitely recommend her services again and will definitely be booking again. I’ve already told my friends who are pet owners”
“Enrique H. was... no is absolutely amazing! He was very kind to our puppy. We were very nervous leaving our lil one for the first time, but his experience, set up of his house, and communication skills made it easy for us to trust he would take good care of our puppy. If you are looking for someone to take care of your high energy puppy, Enrique H. is the one!”
“Lily was warm and caring. Leo was comfortable and played with his friends. She gave the food exactly as instructed. Shared endearing pictures with us. Overall it was a good experience for all of us. Thanks Lily.”
“Everything went smoothly. Our Boxer Hope had a great time at his winter camp...she loved playing with her new friends. I received a POL every day with a message. I will happily use Kyle again. You can confidently reserve a spot with him. Nice Guy!”
“Stefanie and her family were so wonderful with my dog Winnie. They sent me photos of her having a great time every day and I felt so comforted knowing she was safe and happy. In fact, Winnie had such an awesome time that she didn’t even want to leave when I came to pick her up! 😂❤️”
“Jayme really helped us out with watching Diesel when we had to go away for a long weekend for a family wedding. I felt very comfortable knowing that Diesel was in good hands and that he had a yard to play around with. Jayme is very kind and sent several pictures of Diesel. Knowing that he was in someone’s loving home and not in a boarding facility put me at ease. I would recommend Jayme without hesitation for anyone who wants their dog to have a home away from home!”

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.

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,087 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.

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.
