“I had a great experience and would definitely book with her again! She was very responsive and always answered my texts quickly. She sent photos and videos at least twice a day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She really made sure my dog was comfortable throughout his stay. Since he was there over the Fourth of July, she even turned up the AC to help drown out the fireworks, which I really appreciated. I was initially a little nervous because three other dogs were staying with her at the same time, but she reassured me they were all getting along and sent videos so I could see for myself. In the end, my dog looked like he was having an amazing time! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter.”
“Ivelisse was a wonderful dog sitter, we are so grateful for her thoughtfulness and care of our pups 🐾🐾we got lots of pictures, videos of our pups in her yard from her ring camera, which was really nice. She is polite, caring, communicates well, asks questions, and clearly cares about the dogs she cares for. We will definitely use her again to take care of our dogs!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Laura, Carolina and Enrique are the best! I know because my dog, Calie, told me so! And I can explain. During her visit they send pictures of Calie hanging out and enjoying her stay. It’s clear from the pictures that she is happy and content. And when we arrive to take Calie home she’s always very relaxed and in no rush to leave their home. I would highly recommend Laura, Carolina and Enrique!”
“Hazard was extremely communicative! We received so many pictures and updates I never had to wonder what he was up to. He was welcomed into her home with open arms. He had lots of playmates and returned tired, happy, and well cared for. Will absolutely be reaching out again next time we have a need!”
“Sheila was an excellent sitter for our dog! She sent us great updates and we could tell Angus got lots of attention and activity. Would happily use her again!”
“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!”
“Yi Jia was amazing—we felt completely at ease leaving CHAI in her care. Before our boarding date, she arranged a meet-and-greet and carefully noted everything CHAI needed attention on. During the days CHAI stayed with her, she kept us updated with photos and videos. We would definitely choose her again. Thank you.”
“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+++++ 🦮🐾”
“Katie is very patient with my pup and understands her attachment to me. It takes Bella a while to settle and enjoy her self and Katie is perfect for this. She always ensured me its not a problem and she takes care of it. This is her 2nd time keeping Bella, thus time Katie was more forthcoming with updates then the first time, which I loved. But in her defense she also had a injured arm in a high anxiety pup. So I really understood it, did not let it bother me, because I know where her focus was.And I appreciated that, but when I did reach out to her, she immediately sent me a response back and updates. Bella loves walks and she was great at walking her a few times a day. I will be going away soon and hope Katie is available to keep her. Thank you Katie.”
“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!”
“Andrew was very helpful when taking care of Tyson gave tips and recommendations for my puppy. He also gave updates every day with pictures and videos of Tyson Stay. Would recommend Andrew to anyone.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for a long time, I’ve potty trained and trained to learn commands. Play with them and care for them as if they were my own. I work part time Monday - Thursday. Im off Friday- Sunday so have plenty of time to watch your animal and provide the attention they need. I have a room where ur pet can relax and feel at home. My yard is gated where they can run around and get exercise.
“Catherine was wonderful with Josie, she attended to every one of her needs and treated her like the true diva that she is! She gave her her drops, her eye drops three times a day on schedule, sent me pictures and videos. I was hoping Josie would a still wanna come home with me and not stay with Catherine.!!!Sue w.”
“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 !”
“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!”

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!
Gaileen took wonderful care of our dog while we were out of the country for two weeks. When you're that far away, it's hard not to be a little nervous about your pup. But Gaileen sent daily updates and pictures and took Indiana on lots of adventures. We could see that she was having a fun time and felt very comfortable in Gaileen's home. I've already requested another booking. Don't hesitate - book with Gaileen before her calendar fills up! :)
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 $43.87 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,473 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.
97% 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.
