“I took Mia for a trial day with Dana, Mathieu and their two sweet dogs. I wanted to be sure it would be a good fit for all involved! They took great care to introduce everyone slowly to be sure all the dogs were comfortable. All seems to have gone very well, by the time I came to pick her up, Mia was feeling quite at home. She put herself to bed early. A sign of a good day! I will definitely sign her up for a longer stay!”
“Karen kept me informed and communicated promptly. My dog absolutely loved his stay and would recommend Karen for anyone looking for someone to watch your beloved pets.”
“Absolutely pleased with Rolf’s care. From pictures we could see he was a happy dog. And he got to play outside in a child’s pool and a hosing! His favorite activity. He really didn’t want to come home!”
“Our puppy had a great time staying at Brittany’s house for the day. I felt he was in good hands while we were gone for the day. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you Brittany!”
“Thank you sooooo much for taking care of my Willow! You and your family did a wonderful job with her over night visit. I am so blessed to have found you. This is a super family and I would love have them care for my sweet dog anytime. Our communication was fabulous and the photos you shared are so appreciated THANK YOU❤️”
“Super accommodating with the short notice booking I requested! Steph is bright and friendly. She let me know if there were any issues with my pup. Would book with her again!”
“We always feel comfortable leaving our Shepherd mix with Lauren! She’s as responsive and reliable as they come. Our dog used to get so sad when we’d leave him, but he wags his tail and gets excited when we pull up to Lauren’s house. She takes him on runs and hangs with him outside in her yard. We absolutely recommend leaving your dog with Lauren!”
“Archie had a great time with Suzanne and helpers! He was happy to se us but was sad to have today goodbye for now. We will continue to come to Suzanne as long as she continues to be there for us. She’s the best snd Archie gives her and kids a BIG HIGH FIVE!🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾”
“Elisa was wonderful with communication and updates for my Bru, as well as very responsive. Very easy and professional to book with and very trustworthy. Would absolutely use her services again in the future. 🐾”
“We felt very comfortable leaving our dog Harper with Christina and Matt when we were away for the weekend of our daughter’s wedding. It was the first time Harper had ever stayed with anyone other than family and we weren’t sure how she would be in an unfamiliar place with another dog. It was obvious when we went for a meet and greet that Christina is a dog lover and Harper warmed up to her quickly. They have a great dog friendly yard and we received plenty of updates to let us know that she was doing fine. She definitely got plenty of exercise and a lot of love. Christina was understanding about Harper’s separation anxiety and was willing to accommodate her. We will definitely be repeat clients!”
“Eva was wonderful with Tiana! I highly recommend her. She took Tiana on many walks and just loved her. It is so comforting while you are away to know that your pet is being so well cared for.”
“Erica and Thomas were wonderful! They took such good care of my Kierah, and sent me pictures throughout her stay. I was completely comfortable leaving her with them.”
“Shannon was very easy to work with. She has a great set up for dogs and is very clearly a dog lover. She sent us updates during the week and our pup came home happy. She was up front in communication that there would potentially be multiple dogs and we had a meet and greet before our trip to make sure Sophie was comfortable there and with other dogs. It was a positive experience and I would recommend Shannon to anyone.”
“It was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter and was a little nervous. But Tina was great! She was accommodating and lovely. She sent us updates throughout the stay. We’ll def go back to her when we go back!”
“Karen, Chris, and their family were truly the best of the best when it came to caring for our Sunny while we were away on vacation for a week. It was clear from the start how much love and attention they gave him—he absolutely adored them and their dog! He even whined on the car ride home because he didn’t want to leave, which says everything. Karen provided multiple daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was wonderful to see how comfortable, happy, and well cared for Sunny was throughout the week. We truly can’t recommend them enough and feel so lucky to have found such incredible sitters. Thank you again, Karen, Chris, Abby, Joe, and Charm —Sunny already misses you all so much!”
“Erica is amazing! She watched our 2.5mo old puppy for the weekend and we can tell he had a great time! She sent us pictures, videos and updates the whole weekend and is so so nice. We highly recommend booking with Erica!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving Louie with Dana. He got lots of exercise running and playing in the yard with her family dogs! She did a great job communicating and sending photos to keep us updated!”

Zuri did a great job taking care of our dog Louie! She was conscientious, loving and communicative. She kept us updated with pictures of Louie during his stay keeping us posted on how he was doing during his first stay with Zuri. We would happily recommend Zuri to other dog owners!

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.
91% of Stonington 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 Stonington 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 Stonington 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 Stonington.
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 Stonington 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.
