“Scheduled when we were in a pinch so appreciated the flexibility and responsiveness. I didn't get a lot of feedback on how his day went, but he came back happy and tired. I would send him back again if we lived in the area.”
“Laura & family were super responsive to messages, sent lots of photos and looked after our dog very well during her daycare session. Highly recommended!”
About: Hello! I'm a kind and caring local mom who is looking to make extra income. I love ALL pets - they are true gift in this wild world of ours! I'm very organized and a great communicator -- you'll find it easy partnering with me, I promise! I'm currently only working part-time -- and from my home office -- so I have a lot of flexibility. I am available weekends as well, with full flexibility 6:30 am - 10 pm on weekends. Weekdays I can do anytime 6:30-10 am; 12 - 1 pm and 4-10 pm I prefer to come to your home to care for your pets but am flexible on having pets into my home as well -- let's talk more! I have a 1.5 yr old rescue mix (8 breeds!) named Tank.
“Andrea is a terrific find. As a former licensed family day care provider for children, she takes the same attentive care to each dog in her daycare pack. My puppy gets so excited and runs like crazy into her house as soon as we enter the driveway. We go 2-3 times a week now. Andrea Is so flexible in the number of hours and changing schedules our dog can stay, she’s greatly improved my life and given me far more freedom than our dear but demanding dog’s constant need for socializing and play can provide, when I have to sit at my desk for long periods to work, or spend the day in NYC for many hours. We’re so grateful for Andrea’s daily smile, unruffled calm with the animals, and sense of responsibility. The assorted fur kids, with daily alternates, all seem to get along comfortably. This our 3rd CT dog, this time a King Charles Cavalier, would show it if he wasn’t really happy. Thank you Andrea!”
About: Hi, I’m Tatiana! Animals have always been part of my life, but in the last years I realized that I have a natural talent for training and working with dogs. What started as a passion has now become my full-time profession. I have hands-on experience with pets of all ages and temperaments — from playful puppies to senior dogs, from shy or anxious pets to those with more challenging behaviors. I focus on creating calm, safe, and structured environments so every dog feels secure and understood. Along with pet sitting and walks, I also integrate basic training and positive reinforcement into my care, helping pets build good habits and confidence. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in reliable and loving hands. 💕 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I work independently and have a flexible schedule, I can easily dedicate my time to walks, play, feeding, and any special needs your pet may have. I make sure to structure my day so that pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I always create a calm and secure environment. I pay close attention to their routines, behaviors, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m experienced in working with both dogs and cats of different ages and temperaments, including pets that may be shy, anxious, or require medication. My goal is to ensure they feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away.
“I am so glad that I found Hazard. She will update you every hour with pictures and videos. You will have peace of mind knowing that she is taking care of your dog. She is a highly recommended dog sitter and very trustworthy! I will definitely book her again.”

I’m comfortable handling multiple dogs at once, and I understand the importance of maintaining a safe, fun, and calm environment. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a senior dog needing extra care Working from home gives me a highly flexible schedule, allowing me to provide dogs with all the attention, care, and playtime they need throughout the day. I live in a house with a fenced yard, providing plenty of space for the dogs to run around freely off-leash. I love dogs so much they are allow everywhere - furnitures and bed
About: Hello! I offer doggie daycare and overnights in my home. I have a fenced in back yard with room to run and play. I am home during the day which allows for frequent outings and attention for your dog. My family consists of myself, my husband, three young children, and a parakeet. Our beloved Frenchie passed away recently at the age of 12.5 and she was the love of our lives. We miss her terribly, she was family. In May we adopted a 2 year old lab mix named Winnie from a shelter. She is friendly, submissive, and loves everyone. Dogs must be great with children and house trained. I look forward to hearing from you! I am home during the day which allows for frequent outings and walks in the neighborhood. I am able to keep your dog on their own schedule. I have a fenced in backyard for running and playing or just sniffing around like our Frenchie loved to do. My children are gentle, calm, and respectful of dogs. They have always had a dog in the house and love all animals. Your dog will be treated like family while you are away!

“Jay is great with my pup. He is attentive, caring, and great for doggie day care. His pup is a great playmate and snuggle buddy. He is flexible and understanding and is always able to work with me and my work schedule.”
“Anna was amazing. Sebbie stayed two straight days. He jumped out of the car in the second day to get into the house. Anna sends pics throughout the day and is super responsive. Really great setup for dogs too.”
“Anner came through for me! If it wasn’t for him I’d have to call out of work. I had a change of schedule which messed up my puppy’s schedule. I downloaded this app with hopes of someone responding back to me quickly and Anner did just that. Everything was so professionally done. Top tier communication. I was able to receive photos and videos during the day. I was so happy. Book Anner you won’t be disappointed”
“Great experience. John communicates regularly, our timid dog got lots of attention and the astro turf in the yard meant no muddy paws after a long rainy day. Would highly recommend!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Southport commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,475 sitters in Southport, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
