“I am a first time dog mom and my Shih Tzu went to stay with them for the day last min and she was so nice. Communication was great because I cried at first because he has not been with other people since I got him. Max loved them he was so happy & excited when he was me .The update videos and pictures reassured me that he was in great hands. Will be booking again very soon”
“I’m so happy that Jay was understanding, patient and accepting of Sadie even with her overly energetic and playful temperament. Looks like she had a very active and fun filled day because once we arrived home, she ate, drank all her water, went to her bed and fell RIGHT asleep! This is my first time using any service of this nature & I confidently give Jay 5 stars! He promptly responds to texts and he gives the best picture updates! Sadie can’t thank him enough for such an amazing day and looks forward to seeing him and her puppy pals again very soon!”

“Jieun and Ollie thank you! It was such a wonderful experience to leave my dog with Jieun. I met Jieun and Ollie on video chat the night before and sent over some questions and request to have a long walk or time to run around outside since I was going on and 2 hour drive after picking her up and she offered to take my dog to the dog park! I received pictures throughout the day ❤️ Very grateful to have found someone I trust completely with my pup! Will definitely book again! Also Ollie is the sweetest!”
“This was our first time dropping our puppy off away from home for daycare. Hazard and his wife Zoey did a wonderful job taking care of him. They followed our instructions and sent us lots of photos and videos through out the entire day. We loved that our puppy got to stay with such a loving family and make lots of new friends! We look forward to working with them again.”
About: Hello thank you for visiting my profile. I've cared for pets for as long as I can remember. As a kid I used to take in strays, give them water, feed them, and try to find their owner. My mom used to say I don't find dogs, dogs find me! This was the case when I was 15 living in Stamford. It was a cold snowy Christmas eve and I happened to look out my back window and noticed a shivering all bones scared Sheppard in the backyard. I immediately ran outside with a treat and gained her trust. It took weeks but with the help of a vet she was nursed back to health. I convinced my parents to take her in and I named her Founder (found her). Best dog ever! Today I continue to work with stray animals as the producer of “Perros de Colombia” (search IMDB) and was fortunate to care for my beloved Miniature Schnauzer Myles for 17 years so I do understand the time and energy to not only raise a dog, but to care for another person's pet as if they were my own. I'm an entrepreneur who works from home. My kids are now college graduates and my situation is ideal to dedicate my time and energy to care for your pet morning, day, nights, and weekends. I have a nice yard and my house is near Wooster Park with a large field. While inside your pet can roam about freely or hangout in the home office.
“Left our pride and joy with Sheila today and she was awesome! She sent pics of Finn and I commented to her that maybe he’d want to stay at her house and not come home at all! If there was a rating of ten stars she’d get all ten for sure. Thanks Sheila! Annie S. 4/20/2025”
About: I have experience caring for dogs through boarding, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I’ve looked after multiple dogs and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. My goal is to make every dog feel happy and cared for like they’re part of the family. I am currently a full-time online college student so I am mostly always home and can guarantee exercise, playtime, and safety for your four-legged friend. I provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for every dog in my care. My home features a fully fenced backyard where dogs can run and play freely. The yard is equipped with puppy sun chairs, a puppy pool, and a variety of outdoor toys to keep them active, relaxed, and entertained. I also have a friendly puppy who enjoys playing and socializing, giving your dog the opportunity for companionship during their stay. My goal is to create a welcoming, home-like setting where every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Catarina did a wonderful job taking care of our puppy for the day. Lucky had a great time with her and Addison. Defiantly will go with Catarina again! We recommend her for sure!”
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is the personalized care and attention I give to every dog. I treat each pet like a member of my own family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I provide plenty of playtime, exercise, updates, and affection, while also following each dog’s unique routine and needs. With my experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, pet owners can feel confident knowing their furry friend is in a caring and reliable environment. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule. As a teacher, I have a structured routine and plenty of experience providing care, supervision, and attention throughout the day. During the summer, I am home full-time, which allows me to dedicate even more time to the pets in my care. This means frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of companionship throughout the day. Because I am home, pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy a safe, comfortable, and attentive environment while their owners are away. I have a fenced yard with a nice size backyard where the dogs can run around and enjoy the weather. And they will be supervised
“Amanda was great! We were travelling in the area and needed a last minute sitter for a few hours. Koda had a fun time at her house playing with the other dogs.”
About: Outside of having a family pet since I was 4, I have owned my own cats (up to 5 at a time) since I began owning my home starting in 2017. Not only that, but I am the go-to pet sitter (dogs and cats) for all my friends, including multiple times I have watched my family's pets (dogs and cats) while they are away. Outside of this side business, I work in the human services/social work field as a Director for Crisis programs, serving adults with substance use and mental health. I am compassionate, reliable, and more than willing to assist you with any pet care needs you have! I work 8-4 at my primary job, but I have a very flexible job, where I can make sure your pets are taken care of. I work very close to home and I also have a pet cam at home that I can use for monitoring while I am away at work, if I am boarding I have a ring doorbell outside, I live on a safe, dead end street with minimal car traffic, and although my backyard is not fenced, it is a safe neighborhood and your pets will never be outside unleashed or unattended. Inside, my house is safe with all locked entries and one camera inside as well

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Stratford commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,164 sitters in Stratford, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
