“Khanh and Tommy welcomed us into their home for a very last minute boarding request. We received several updates, with pictures and video while we were away. Their love and care was evident and we know Astro had such a fun time! We are so grateful to have found them and we are looking forward to working with them again very soon! Look no further!! This is the right family to take care of your pup(s)!”
“Once again, Dash has a great stay with Alan and Luis. We received pictures every day with updates and when we pull into their driveway Dash gets excited to see their dogs and loves running in their fenced in yard. We never have to worry about Dash when we go away ‘”

“Anna was the best sitter for our Doberman/German Shepard mix, Onyx! She watched Onyx for 4 days while we were out of town and did an amazing job at giving updates and sending pictures. Would definitely use her services again and gladly recommend to anyone looking in the future”
“James was fantastic! I have a relatively shy dog, but he came home super happy and clearly had a fun time with James and fam in a super compassionate, loving household. Would recommend them anytime.”
“Rosmery was wonderful with our fur baby! I received many pictures and videos of Lana. Her and her family made feel our pup like home! Definitely, we will bring Lana back.”
“Deb did a great job with caring for my dog Flash. She was understanding of Flash's initial anxiety with being in a different environment. My dog enjoyed his stay with her.”
“MJ was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was very accommodating for a fairly last minute booking as well as both a changed drop off and pick up time. Our pup seemed to have a great time and we were kept up to date with photos of him during his stay. Highly recommend MJ!”
“We went on an 8 night vacation and left our 2 year old staffie/pit with Jaylese. We received daily updates, pictures, and even went as far to inquire what else she can do to make our girl, Kiwi, feel at home with her. Jaylese prioritized daily walks and playtime for a healthy and happy Kiwi and went as far to buy a stuffed animal pig for her. Jaylese is super kind, knowledgeable, and professional. We will keep Jaylese’s info for the next time we need care for Kiwi and will recommend her to friends and family.”
“I cannot recommend Ifan enough! I chose to travel outside my city just so Toshi could stay with him, and it was the best decision ever. Ifan is incredibly caring, responsible, and treated my little guy like royalty. I knew Toshi was in the safest hands possible. If you need a sitter, do whatever it takes to book Ifan—he's truly one of a kind!"”

“Thank you Kevin for taking care of Rocco while my family and I were on vacation. Kevin has a warm and caring personality so we felt comfortable to leave our 10 month old husky under his care for 7 days after only 5 minutes of first meeting him. Kevin provided exceptional care to our Rocco and keep us updated by sending pictures and videos of the adventures Rocco experienced while we were away. We will definitely work with Kevin again, and of course recommend him to care for your dog. Thank you Kevin 😊”
“My dog, Atticus, age 2, had his first full day with Margaret a few days ago. He was very well taken care of including a couple of walks. He was happy to play fetch and take naps after walking. It was easy to tell by his face and composure that he had a great day...there was no visible stress when he returned home. Another dependable companion 'star' in his young life when I am not around! Many thanks, M :)”

Laura was absolutely amazing with Benji and Kai. She watched them last Saturday, and both boys came back happy, calm, and clearly well-cared for. Everything was smooth, on time, and handled with so much warmth and professionalism. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. I’ll definitely book Laura again—highly recommended!
Karen was amazing with my dog, Charlie! She kept me updated with frequent photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She took Charlie swimming, made sure she got plenty of walks and exercise, and treated her like one of her own. Charlie also had a great time playing with her dog, Happy. I highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter! 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Unionville is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $72 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 877 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Unionville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Unionville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Unionville home-away-from-home, 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 Unionville.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Unionville 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 , 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 .
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.
