“Valeria was an incredible host for Ziggy! She was super communicative and took great care of him - I’ve already got my next booking scheduled. The ONLY downside is I think he likes her more than me now.”
“Kathryn took such good care of Marley! She sent me updates every day and pictures! So happy to have found such a reliable, flexible, and easy to communicate with sitter for our fur baby!”
“Amazing Service. Karina was very caring and responsive. She kept us informed with text message with pictures of how the day was progressing with our dog. She was even able to get him to eat regularly — which has been a problem at times. We highly recommend Karina as a Dog sitter and only which she were available to usnear our home in Florida”
“Jay was so communicative and easy to work with, responding to a request with relatively short notice, and he took loving care of my elderly chihuahua when I was away for a week. Thank you Jay!”
“I am so happy with the care that Christina gave my dog while I was out of town. This is the longest she has been with a sitter and I was put totally at ease by Christina’s daily updates with photos and videos. I can tell she is a true dog lover and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my Rubi! I would definitely recommend Christina and would rebook with her in the future in a heartbeat!”
“Katie was wonderful for my pup! We did a meet and greet before, which was great. I received daily updates and pictures while I was away. She was very responsive and Barney was comfortable with her. I will definitely be using her again for watching Barney.”
“I cannot say enough how eternally grateful we are for Bruce. He took care of my Lola who we just adopted on 7/29. Lola has separation anxiety and cannot be left alone. Bruce sent me updates and pictures throughout the day. I already booked him for our next vacation. I was so happy he was able to accommodate us. See you soon and thanks 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.”
“Eva was the prefect match for my Teddy very warm and caring. Always sent videos with his tail wagging, which means he was happy and that what matters the most. Definitely would recommend Eva to friends and family, she's going to be my #1 for when I have to travel in the future 😁😁”
“Hailey did a wonderful job caring for Yuki. I got timely responses and pictures when I asked. She was also available last minute, which we really appreciated! I recommend Hailey for your dog sitting needs.”
“Kayla always takes amazing care of our dog! We’ve trusted her for years and it gives us great peace of mind to know our dog is loved and happy while we’re away. The daily updates and photos help. She’s very responsive to messages. Highly recommend! We will definitely be booking with her again. :)”
“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”
“Dajah and family took good care of Mythri and kept me updated constantly, and also took care of giving her her medication, all during a rainy and stormy weekend. Thanks to them!”
“Madalys did a great job with Opie for the second time in a row. Even though it was an extended stay Opie look like he was with family. She kept us up yo date on the progress of Opie stay and delivered the dog back to us safe and sound. Thank you so much it was a pleasure.”
“Always a pleasure to take Peanut to Brianna. We can see Peanut is taken great care of at Brianna's. When Peanut got off the car, he happily led us to Brianna's without being distracted by other things on the street. When we pick him up, he's very happy and we can see he had a great time and has lots of affection for Brianna. Brianna sent us photo updates and generously accommodated us in terms of our schedule. Thanks Brianna!”
“Laura and her family took great care of my 3 yo beagle mix. He’s got an autoimmune disorder with extreme food sensitivity and takes meds 3x daily. They were attentive to his needs, sent photos everyday, were super responsive and patient, and allowed me to show them how to administer the medicine. Both of us felt right at home, lol! We’ll be back thank you so much!!”
“Thank you Gwynne for taking such good care of our Golden. This was our first experience with Rover and it was perfect! We would definitely recommend Gwynne and return!!! A+++++ 🦮🐾”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stratford
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Stratford on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,454 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.
