“Robin is a lovely person who took excellent care of our dog. She kept us updated on everything and I could tell our dog was comfortable and relaxed when we returned. We will definitely be booking with Robin again!”
“She got really good care from this home doggie day care. It was really amazing to watch her thrive around the new friends she made at doggie daycare. Really great communication and lots of updates, pics, and videos while I was away. It seemed every time I started missing my little Chihuahua I got a pic. Great experience and would definitely rebook.”
“Julie was a fantastic sitter for our cat for an extended vacation. She sent pics and kept our cat happy and healthy during the stay. Professional, responsive, and recommended!”
“I booked with Hazard for a weekend, and I can’t say enough positive things about the experience. They were truly awesome! From the start, I felt completely at ease thanks to the frequent photo updates they sent. It was wonderful not having to wonder how my dog was doing because I got to see him happy and well cared for throughout the day. On top of that, they even provided a cute “report card” at the end of the day, which was such a thoughtful touch and gave me a great little summary of how he did. Overall, I was really happy with their care and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”
“Our dog Odie is one lucky pup. It’s been awhile since he stayed at a sitter’s home and as an older dog, we were hoping that he’d be fine with this newer experience in care. He did so well under the genuine loving care that Kathryn provided. She kept us apprised of Odie’s status with photos and reports. Her home is a lovely dog-friendly place to be with a beautiful and large fenced-in yard. My husband and I are truly more than happy to recommend Kathryn’s wonderful caregiving, without hesitation. Thanks, Kathryn!!”
“My dog had a fantastic time at Jodie’s — her dogs were very friendly and he fit in immediately, and he definitely had a great time playing with them because he slept hard when he got home! He’s a rescue and can be a little touchy sometimes, but when I picked him up he was snuggled up in Jodie’s arms like she was his new best friend.”
“My Penny was happy going and even happier coming home. Penny was not anxious for the first time meeting Jay, she was so comfortable. Penny had a great time. Thank you so much Jay! I highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Charlotte was amazing and we will absolutely use her again! Our older boy had a bunch of different medicines to take at different points throughout the day and she was so organized and great with communication. She even went out to multiple stores to find the right low fat wet food he ran out of! Thank you Charlotte!”
“Andrea is an absolute angel and took such good care of the my little Cavapoo. She couldn't have been more accommodating on drop off and picking up. She sent a photo of my dog and made me feel totally at ease that I could go off and not worry about her. Andrea is the best!”
“Gwynee was amazing for my puppies first overnight with someone other than family. She was so efficient and prompt with responses, mostly updating me without having to ask! She gave my dog lots of love and attention and as a dog owner I don’t think anyone can ask for anything more. Highly recommend Gwynee and will definitely use her again in the future! Thank you so so much Gwynee!!”
“Anner is amazing!!! He is literally the dog whisperer. Lola is happy and with her doggy friends when with him. I love my baby dog and I really appreciate how clean, kind and attentive Anner is. You cannot go wrong choosing him as your sitter!”
About: I began pet sitting for neighbors in Boston and continued building my network after moving back to Connecticut. I now care for dogs throughout the year for friends and their families, usually four to five weeks annually. I work fully remote, so pets get steady company and attention throughout the day. I enjoy having animals around and treat them like part of the routine, not an interruption. I have an indoor cat who is fully vaccinated, so dogs are still welcome. If your pet needs a calm home, a reliable schedule, and someone who is present, I am a strong fit. I work fully remote, so pets are with me throughout the day. I start early, which leaves time for morning routines before work, and I take regular breaks for walks and check ins. Evenings are for longer walks, feeding, and downtime. If a pet has specific needs, I adjust my routine to match them. Pets stay in a calm, tidy home where I am present throughout the day. I work fully remote, so dogs get steady company, regular walk breaks, playtime, and a consistent routine. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, medication needs, and any rules you share. My indoor cat is fully vaccinated and comfortable with visiting dogs. I introduce pets slowly and make sure everyone has their own space. If your dog has specific routines or preferences, I adjust to match them.
“Thank you, Madalys! Not familiar to the area, a last minute need to take care of my two Havanese puppies. You were prompt and communication was clear. Thank you, again! Highly recommend.”

“Irene was wonderfully communicative and took great care of our Chihuahua mix. It's such a relief having someone close by who can look after our dog like her own. I definitely plan to leave Pinky with Irene again in the future!”

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!”

Great overall experience! Thank you Jack for taking such wonderful care of our energetic baby Rex. Thank you also for the daily updates and videos, it was most comforting being so far away and being away from him for the first time. I would reach out again to Jack/Rover immediately if we are ever in need again.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Southport on Rover is $58.85 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 1,841 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Southport. 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.
96% of Southport 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 Southport 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 Southport 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 Southport.
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 Southport 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.
