“I was a bit anxious about leaving my pups as they can be a little high maintenance. Patrick and Susan were wonderful with them, though. They sent pictures everyday with a note about how the dogs were doing and what they did with them that day. They took them for walks and played ball just like the pups like to do. They also had everything ready to go when it was time to pick them up. I would certainly ask Patrick and Susan to care for my pups again in the future. Thanks for taking great care of my buddies.”
“Taylor and his wife were absolutely wonderful with my 2 girls! He updated me on how they did and their behavior and you can tell they really love dogs. Their 2 dogs are also well behaved and very sweet. I really like how open there home is so there’s lots of space for the dogs to run around, plus a nice backyard. Thank you guys!”
“Sandra was wonderful to work with! She was easy to communicate with, and I knew Otis was in great hands. He came home happy and relaxed after his stay. ✨”
“Cannot thank them enough. It was my first time using Rover and on a short notice request- no problem. I got pictures of Alfie playing and cuddling throughout his stay which set me at ease. He also came back smelling nicer and was freshly brushed, he was so happy! I 100% recommend Heather and Norman”
“Saskia took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town for a week. We received daily pictures and updates. Saskia was great at reaching out and addressing any concerns promptly. We were thrilled with her care of our energetic pup and will not hesitate to book again. Thanks!”
“Cailey took care of my senior cat for an extended time and took great care of her. Cailey kept me updated on how my cat was doing, including for a period of time where my cat wasn’t eating as much. My cat will do this on occasion so I wasn’t concerned, and appreciated Cailey noticing and checking in with me about that. I would absolutely work with Cailey again, thank you!”
“Allison is very kind & flexible. Our Sky has anxious fear of big pups and Allison was very kind to make him feel safe. We are glad to have her watch our 2 pups.”
“We used Rebecca for boarding for a week and I would highly recommend. She was patient and answered all of my initial questions. Very warm and welcoming. My dog had a blast there for a week and I felt 100% confident my dog was in good hands. I did not worry about him once while I was away. Excellent communication, we were sent numerous pictures/videos/updates. She truly makes every dog feel like they are family.”
“Great care and communication! I could tell my dog was in good hands and having her best life in the country. I received daily updates and felt reassured that she was safe.”
“I booked Rachel last minute fully expecting for her to not respond or say she was available and she responded within minutes for my last second request. She and her family took excellent care of Hank and sent me several pictures and updates through out. 10/10. Very happy to have found someone trust worthy i can leave my dog with and have no worries without feeling like i am burdening friends or family.”
“Great experience having Taiyo stay with Sarah. Very prompt communication, extremely friendly and clearly evident from talking to her that she treats guests pups with as much care and attention as she does her own. Her easygoing approach gave me incredible piece of mind that is invaluable when leaving your fur babies behind on vacation. Will absolutely be booking again and would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Belle had a great experience with Russ and Janet once again. They took great care of her with lots of walks and pets. It's so reassuring that we can leave Belle with caring sitters. Thank you!”
“Dorothy was great - she and her family made Bruno feel very welcome and secure and kept us updated while we were away. He has a special diet and daily medication and she was great with giving that to him. Definitely will book again.”
“Elliott took excellent care of my golden retriever. He responded promptly to all communications, sent me regular updates and photos, and even let her sleep on his bed! He was kind and understanding when I had to shorten my dogs’ stay due to a family emergency.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stafford
Leah took our pup for 6 nights. I was so worried to leave him while we were away, but we unfortunately couldn't take him with us on our trip. Leah was so great, super responsive and sent photo updates throughout. George seemed super happy when we got back, she even let him keep his favorite toy from her house. We will definitely feel comfortable leaving him with her again! Thanks, Leah!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Stafford home-away-from-home, 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 Stafford.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Stafford 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 , 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 .
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.
