“Katie was patient with our dog who is shy around new people. Within a few days, our dog was comfortable with Katie and was happy to see her and was hanging out with her on the couch. We were super happy to know to know that our shy dog was comfortable and taken care off for a week and would ask Katie again for future overnight stays.”
“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.”
“Christina was great with our Trixie. She was very attentive to her special needs and very understanding about our concerns leaving our dog for several days for the first time. She kept us informed how things were going and was great administering meds as needed. We have already requested to rebook. Christina has a lovely home and family. Your dog will be safe and well cared for with her.”
“Excellent care! Lots of photos and updates, Xeena was very comfortable and happy she had her own play space and room for sleeping . Highly recommend and will call again!”
“I left my dog with Nadine and her family for the first time (for several days) and I am SO happy I did. I could tell that he was in the best hands, and I appreciated the regular updates and pictures! They want above and beyond to make my anxious dog comfortable and he came up happy and relaxed. I will definitely keep them in mind for future stays as they have my highest recommendation.”
“There aren’t enough words to state my gratitude to Valeria for watching my Luna Bear. She is the perfect sitter. I had a last min work trip and she came through for me. She was so attentive to Luna and sent pics, videos, did FaceTime and my Luna looked like she didn’t want to come home lol. She is my go to if I ever have to travel or need Luna to be watched. I will be booking with her again very soon. So grateful to have found her ☺️”
“Jay was an excellent host!! He was flexible with pickup and drop off times and sent regular photo updates. We will definitely book future vacations with Jay!”
“Karina did an excellent job looking after my dog while I was away for the weekend. This was my first time having someone watch him, and her regular updates and photos kept me from worrying. Her friendly dog was an added bonus, and it was clear from the moment I picked up Teddy that he had been well-loved and cared for the whole time. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Karina again for future trips.”
“Robin took great care of our dog. She sent updates throughout the day and when we picked him up, I could tell he was very relaxed and happy and enjoyed his time with her and her family. We will definitely use her again for our dog!”
“Bruce was an amazing host to my dog for over a week, I was kept updated throughout and sent several photos. I would recommend him to everyone and definitely use again! Thank you Bruce!”
“It was our first time using Rover and we are thankful we found Lacy. She took care of sparky as if he was part of her family. We received frequent status updates of Sparky which included photos. We could not be more happy leaving Sparky with Lacy. Lacy was very understanding and took the time to listen to our request. Highly recommended”
“Yi Jia was amazing with my dog. She sent daily updates with pictures. Miaomiao was so happy when I picked him up. She spent a lot of time playing with my dog and followed all our instructions to take good care of him. We highly recommend her and will definitely book again”
“I am a repeat client of Oscar’s! Don’t have much words on how much of a great sitter he is. He took care of my kitten very well, very good with communication throughout my time. I’m glad I was able to find a good sitter like Oscar for my kitten very!!”
“Andrew went above and beyond to make my Ito feel at home! He was super communicative as well and I felt so happy knowing my pup was loved on and taken care of so well. Ito is staying with him for a longer visit next month and I feel really lucky I found such a great sitter!”
About: I’ve always had pets in my home and absolutely love caring for animals! I currently have two sweet cats of my own, and over the years, family and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats. While I’m new to Rover, I have hands-on experience with dog walking, feeding, pet sitting, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of opportunities to give your pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I also have a large yard and live in a quiet, walk-friendly neighborhood, making it a great environment for dogs who enjoy getting outside and exploring. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, some playtime and attention during the day, or care while you’re away, I’m happy to work with their routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, following their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I can also take dogs for walks around my quiet neighborhood and make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. When pets stay in my home, I want them to feel as comfortable as possible. Dogs who are comfortable around cats are welcome to enjoy the common areas of my home. For cats, I also have a separate room available so they can have their own quiet, comfortable space if they prefer to be away from other animals.
“Robin is amazing! Our cat has health issues and needs medication so he stays with Robin while we are away. She is so kind and flexible, making it very easy to relax while we are away from him. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“It was our first time boarding Cleo, our 4 year old labrador, with Gwynne, and it was an excellent experience! Gwynne was very quick to respond to inquiries, took time to ask about Cleo, offered to arrange a “meet and greet” to make sure that Cleo gets along with her own dog, Flash. During her stay, we received daily updates with cute pictures and videos. Cleo got ton of exercises with Gwynne and her family, they even took her to lake Mohegan which is Cleo’s favorite destination! Overall I highly recommend Gwynne! Cleo will be back!”

Goose had such a fantastic weekend with Lacy!! It was his first time spending more than one night away from home, and she made him feel so welcome and comfortable. We were blown away by her attention to detail and all of the fun activities she planned for him & included him in. We were 100% confident that Goose was safe and happy the entire time we were away, and we would book another stay with Lacy in a heartbeat!
This was my first time booking with Valeria and it was a good experience. I gave her and her husband 5 outta 5 stars. They kept me updated with Blu every step of the way. They sent pictures and gave me updates. I recommend anyone who’s looking for a dog sitter to book with them.
We were looking for a new pet sitter after our previous one moved out of town. Gaileen’s calm and friendly personality and her excellent care for our dog during a recent trial stay has put my worries to rest. She sent regular updates, followed my dog’s routine, and was super easy to communicate with. We will definitely be boarding with her again in the future.
Thank you so much for taking such great care of our furry family member! We really appreciated the daily photo updates—they gave us peace of mind and made us smile while we were away. I’m sorry the nights weren’t perfect, but we truly appreciate all of your patience and care. We will definitely be reaching out to you again for our future pet care needs. Thank you again for everything!
Iam very happy with the care my dog received. Anhelia is a great dog caretaker . Communication with her was easy and pleasant — she kept me informed and responded quickly to messages. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. My dog enjoyed time with Anhelia.
Connor did an AMAZING job with my pup, Harley. He was very professional, showed me around his place during the meet-n-greet, and then was attentive and kind during the stay, ensuring I got regular updates and pictures. Harley (my pup) enjoyed herself too! I absolutely will rebook with him in the future.
Katherine was so helpful taking our dog Ellie last minute on Thanksgiving. She was even kind enough to have her for one more day last minute, while we had guests in town! She sent pictures and was very responsive! Would absolutely use Katherine again in the future!
Veronica is an awesome dog sitter—truly unlike anyone I’ve ever met. She loves dogs so much and takes such amazing care of them. I honestly feel meeting her was a blessing from above. I’m always grateful, and I’ll definitely reach out again in the future. Thank you so, so much!👍
Maria and her family were amazing with Latte! She sent me pictures and updates often and kept me in the loop the whole time, which gave me so much peace of mind. Latte was clearly happy, loved, and so well cared for. I’m so grateful for her and would 100% book with Maria again!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Stratford on Rover is $44.4 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 1,445 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Stratford. 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 Stratford 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 Stratford 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 Stratford 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 Stratford.
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 Stratford 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.
