“If you're looking for someone to care for your pet with the utmost love, attention, and dedication, look no further than Christina. She truly went above and beyond during the 6 days she watched my 2-month-old puppy. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in safe hands. Christina made him feel like part of her family, showering him with affection, keeping him engaged, and ensuring he felt comfortable and secure. What truly stood out was her exceptional communication throughout the entire experience. She sent me a steady stream of photos and videos, keeping me updated on his adventures, which gave me peace of mind and let me enjoy my time away without worry. It was so clear that Christina was genuinely invested in his well-being and happiness. I can’t thank Christina and her family enough for her incredible care. My puppy came back happy, healthy, and even more social, thanks to the amazing experience he had with her. If you're considering someone to look after your fur baby, Christina is hands down the best. You’ll never have to worry again – your pup will be loved like part of the family.”
“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!!”
“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 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!”
“Hazard took wonderful care of our boy Vinny! She was incredibly responsive, sent updates with photos regularly and most importantly Vinny was very comfortable staying with her and her family. We were so happy with the care and attention he received. We would highly recommend her pet sitting services to anyone looking for a responsible person- we were not worried at all while we were away. Hopefully we will be able to get away again for a few days-if so, Hazard will be hearing from us again. She was just wonderful- thank you Hazard!! ❤️”
“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 😁😁”
“The best with my girl Persephone. She was able to take her in very last minute and was very very flexible. I really appreciate all of her help and the way she was with Persephone during this tough transitional period. Loved all the pictures and videos she sent and I noticed that Persephone became less stressed overtime which I love. Highly recommend Madalys to everyone!”
“Our dog Remy had a wonderful time with Yi Jia and her dogs! We are new to the region and Yi Jia made us feel comfortable by walking us through her property / house where Remy would be staying and that gave us a lot of peace of mind. She sent us a lot of pics of Remy playing with her dogs and kept us informed throughout the stay. Remy had an incredible time with her and the dogs and cannot wait to go back!”
About: I owned my own pet sitting business for six years, and since then I have had two of my own dogs that are family to me. I work out of my house and have a lot of flexibility. For my own dog I walk her twice a day, take her to the beach sometimes or out for a pup cup! I have a fully fenced in yard so if I were to ever provide overnight services any dog would be very safe in my backyard.
“Amazing experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ They took such great care of Zagu and made me feel completely at ease. Super caring, reliable, and attentive. I would absolutely book with them again!”
“Our St. Bernard puppy had a blast at Gwynne’s! We got regular updates with lots of pictures and felt great knowing how much love she was getting while we were away. Looking forward to having Ellie stay again in the future!”
“Marilyn was so friendly and her home was such a sweet and happy place for Birdie ! Marilyn communicated with me throughout and sent photos and videos! I will definitely be booking with Marilyn again !”
“Allyson was wonderful. Very responsive and really understood how to care for an older dog. I have never left Lieben with anyone during her 14 year life so I was anxious to start. Allyson calmed my nerves at the first conversation and throughout the stay. She would provided updates and pictures everyday and confirmed how well Lieben was doing. Every dog is different and for me Allyson was the right fit for Lieben. She was kind, caring and the home environment matched what Lieben is used to. Her and her husband are wonderful people who have hearts for dogs. HIGHLY recommend her to care for your fur baby. I appreciate and am grateful to have met such a lovely person. Will book with her again!”
“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!”
“Catarina did a great job taking care of our Catahoula Leopard dog. There's a large yard with a pond at Catarina's place in Redding, so Maggie felt very comfortable. She had a good time with Catarina's very playful dog Truffle. Maggie had never spent time around a cat before, but amazingly she also got along fine with Catarina's very friendly feline Steve. We could tell that Maggie liked being there, because she gave Catarina a lick on the face as we were leaving. We hope that Catarina will be available the next time we need somebody to take care of Maggie for a night.”
“I highly recommend Skarlett for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. She took care of my dog Kingston for the third time and did a fantastic job. Skarlett was attentive, responsible, and made sure Kingston was happy and comfortable while I was away. I received daily pictures and videos. I'm grateful for her services and will definitely be using her again in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stratford
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
