“As first time puppy parents and first time Rover users it was extremely difficult to leave our pup with anyone else. Suzanne made the entire process extremely easy and comfortable for us. From the booking and flexible arrangements to a slew of happy pictures of our puppy Eloise smiling and playing with her and her family made us feel extremely comfortable in our decision and allowed us the peace of mind to enjoy our getaway. We will not hesitate to use Suzanne again for any of our boarding needs in the future. Thank you Suzanne for loving up on our pup for us!”
“As always Brittany is amazing with my very active Husky! He loves being with her and her family and gets plenty of love and attention. My pup feels right at home every time. He cant wait to go back for his next stay.”
“What a pleasure! Skyla was very welcoming and kind. This was my first time leaving my fur baby with someone and she definitely eased my worries. She was excellent and communicated regularly. She sent me photos and took amazing care of my Lila.”
“Carolina is an excellent caregiver; my dogs were very happy with her, and she kept me updated on how they were doing. My family and I are so glad we found her. She will definitely continue to be the one who takes care of them every time we travel. Thanks so much Carolina”
“Dawn has watched my German Shepherd twice and is an excellent host. My dog always comes back tired and very happy and healthy! I can tell she takes great care of her and for that, I am thankful. Thanks Dawn! We look forward to seeing you again.”
“Dana was great, very flexible and welcomed Yogi into her home. She sent photos to let us know our anxious pup was settling in and making new friends. Yogi had a great time and is looking forward to visiting again soon!”
“Another perfect stay with Debby! We now lovingly refer to a visit with Debby as a visit to Mookie's second home. As always, Debby sent lots of photos, videos, and snippets about the day to make sure we knew that Mookie was at his best. Debby is a gift to both the pet and the pet-parent, and we feel so fortunate to have made this connection.”
“Yunshu and her family took excellent care of my Mini Schnauzer, Harry. I received photos and videos often while I was away. Her two little girls loved playing and walking Harry So he was kept busy all the time so he didn't have time to miss me. HaHa. Their house is very clean and well kept and I knew he was in great hands when I first visited. I will definitely have Yunshu watch Harry again when I take a trip.”
“Jessica was great! Her set up is awesome for dogs, with a huge play area outside for all the dogs to enjoy. She’s very informative and send pictures with updates. All the dogs looked like they had a great time playing in the water and hanging out. Oliver is so happy.”
“Erica was a godsend. We took in a foster in Feb and ended up adopting her. Unlike my other two dogs, the new pup hates being crated and has separation anxiety. We had a prescheduled trip planned for April and the new pup was too much for our house sitter to handle since he’d be coming and going. We were able to do a meet and greet with Erica where she assured me she’d have no problem watching the pup. Things worked out well and she will be my go to the next time we get away.”
“Keasha and her family took great care of Bagel! I was confident that my dog was in good hands. Will certainly come back to Keasha when I travel again. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Karen is exceptional! She took amazing care of our 13 year old Morkie cooking her salmon and ground beef when she was not eating the first few days. I highly recommend using Karen she is a kind caring considerate person.”
“I was very grateful for the daily updates and pictures especially since this was the first time I've left my dog. I felt he was safe and well taken care of.”
“Elizabeth took great care of my dog Hazel and sent a lot of pictures and updates. She also took her on nice walks and Hazel had plenty of outside time. She administered Hazel's medication each day as well. Overall, Elizabeth did a great job with my dog.”
“Marshmallow had excellent time staying with Dani. We received multiple photos every day and consistent communication. It really put us at ease being able to have frequent updates.”
“Jessica did a greats job taking care of our furry friend while we were on vacation. It was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter and we would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Natalia was great with our boxer. She had so much fun playing with her Corgi and came home happy and tired (always a good sign!). Natalia sent lots of pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. It was clear our girl was well cared for and getting plenty of attention. Would absolutely recommend her and would definitely book again.”
“Omg, what a great host and sitter. Carolina was so responsive, and communicated everyday about my little one. Provided updates, pictures and videos and even had a safety “if lost” collar for him. Never saw that before and I love the idea! Will book every time I’m in town and need care. Had zero worries. Another great perk is she has a yard so if your pup likes the outdoors, they are safe and can get some sun. Thank you so much!”
“Kyla took such great care of our dog, Zoey, while my family went on vacation. I would not hesitate to leave Zoey with Kyla again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sterling on Rover is $28.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 911 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sterling. 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.
90% of Sterling 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 Sterling 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 Sterling 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 Sterling.
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 Sterling 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.
