“Dash had a wonderful week long stay at Renata’s home. Plenty of exercise and outdoor time on their beautiful property on the lake. Would absolutely trust to take care of our dog again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“I believe my dog had a good time thank you so much again. He is an amazing sitter and your dog will be in great care. Just don’t book him when I need him 😂. Honest guy and loves what he does.”

“Ifan was wonderful and very responsive. He sent a picture each day of our dogs and it was reassuring to see that they were happy and healthy! He learned their personalities very quickly and the dogs seem like they had a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend and will be a return customer!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve while you’re away. We currently have a sweet 9-year-old small dog who has been part of my life since puppyhood. I personally raised and potty-trained her, so I understand the patience, consistency, and care that goes into helping a dog feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I’ve also cared for many of my friends’ and neighbors’ dogs over the years. When your dog stays with me, they won’t simply be “boarded”—they’ll be welcomed into a loving home. From the moment they arrive, I’ll treat them like one of my own, with lots of love, attention, playtime, and companionship. I’m dependable, responsible, and will make your dog’s comfort and happiness a priority. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for, loved, and treated like family while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve while you’re away. As a result, my schedule is quite flexible to meet the needs of you and your fur baby I have a very large yard and a 9 year old gentle, sweet dog. Although I have a large yard, I always keep my dog leashed and I would do the same for yours to ensure safety. My home is on a quiet cul-de-sac in a private neighborhood that is perfect for walks.
“She is an amazing sitter and Prince had an amazing stay! From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was in great hands. The sitter was attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. I received updates and could see that Prince was happy, relaxed, and getting lots of attention. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was being looked after by someone so reliable and kind. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Prince! Her back yard is extremely spacious with plenty of space for dogs to play and burn some energy as well! I would 1000/10 recommend Christle!”
“Maria was amazing!! Our nervous boy was in good hands! Maria was great with our big goofy dog, she gave him the love and attention he needed while we were away. She sent photos and checked in with me often. Definitely highly recommend and will use again! Thanks again Maria!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs almost my whole life, and finally decided to branch out and get more clients on my roster. I am a nineteen year old college student studying to become a music teacher, and I have two small dogs of my own. I have experience with large dogs, medium dogs, tiny dogs- you name it! I’ve worked with puppies to seniors. I can’t wait to help take care of your furry friends! I’m currently attending community college in Enfield and spend the recently moved out of my mom’s house to share an apartment with my dad. When I’m not in class, I am taking care of my dogs by doing things like feeding them, brushing their teeth, brushing my long haired dog, and any other needs they might require. I have also adopted a bernedoodle puppy from a shelter event. I have experience in dog training which includes basic commands, resource guarding, and crating. My female cocker spaniel was fully trained by me, and my male dog knows a few tricks.
“Betsabeth, is kind, caring, and compassionate. She sent pictures and updates daily and our dog was very well cared for. It was like leaving her with a close family member. Betsabeth is professional and has huge fenced in yard for playtime. We will definitely choose her services again. We cant say enough good things!”
“Great person!!! She took pictures while my dog was there. I was able to communicate with her without a problem. She let me know how my dog was doing. My dog seemed tk have had a blast. Thank you soo much for taking care of my tip.”
“Harvey had another amazing stay with Kristin! He had the time of his life going on hikes, learning to swim, and playing with Kaia and the other dogs under Kristin’s care during his time there. Kristin was in constant communication with us, sending us updates and pictures daily. We can’t thank Kristin and Mark enough for making Harvey feel like part of the family while we were away for 8 nights.”
“Alan and Luis take such great care of our Hiro. He now knows their house and gets so excited in the car when we pull up to the driveway he can barely contain himself. He does still act like a lab puppy, and tends to try to eat everything, but they have always been very patient and understanding with him. We trust them completely to take great care of our boy when we are out of town.”
“My dog was well cared for at Patricia’s. She has a nice clean home with a good set up for dogs. The backyard was fenced in and large. My dog is a little nervous, so placed with a lot of dogs is not good. Patricia limits the number of dogs she cares for at two, so I know my dog will get the attention she needs.”
“Kristen was wonderful at watching our cat! We appreciated the pictures she sent while we were away, and she clearly loves animals (and they love her!). We would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter!”
“Janelle was absolutely wonderful with Bug and Bean. She took the time to schedule a meet-and-greet ahead of the weekend, which immediately put us at ease, and she was incredibly sweet, flexible, and accommodating throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated with regular check-ins and photos, which we really appreciated, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Janelle again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.”
“Andrea was wonderful with our senior dog! I was so nervous about leaving him for more than a few days but it was obvious from her correspondence with us as well as pics and videos that he settled in and was happy and comfortable. I think he would have very happily stayed longer with Andrea and her sweet dog🐾.”
“Loved Jennifer! She was awesome and met me in the park to introduce Cooper to some of the other dogs she was currently watching prior to the stay. She gave regular updates and did a great job with socializing Cooper with other dogs. She is a great photographer and put together an album of the week. Loved her and wouldn’t use any other sitter!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Vernon
Renata is the best! If you are reluctant to leave your pet to travel, she is the care taker for you. I boarded my dog at her house for 7 nights and was able to travel in complete peace. She has a very sweet dog that will keep your dog company. She treated my dog as her own. She walked him several times a day on her amazing property and sent lots of pics and videos. She’s just a genuinely nice person that really enjoys animals. You are essentially booking a vacation for your pet, if you board with her!
Patty was wonderful with our younger pup while we were away on a preplanned vacation. It gave me such peace of mind knowing our dog was in a loving, caring home. I personally prefer having our dog stay at a sitter’s house rather than having someone come to ours, and this setup worked out perfectly. Patty has a nice, large yard and kept us updated regularly on how our pup was doing, which we really appreciated. Even though our puppy is still young and in the process of being trained, Patty was patient, supportive, and very understanding of his needs. She was also incredibly kind during the meet-and-greet and took the time to understand and follow our request for homemade food, which meant a lot to us. I would highly recommend Patty and am already looking forward to our pup’s next visit as he continues to grow.
We cannot thank Judy enough for boarding our Charlie last minute. We had an issue with our normal boarding facility and Judy was so accommodating. She sent plenty of pictures and ensured Charlie had the best time ever. This was our first time using Rover and she made us so comfortable. She even taught her a new trick that has never worked for me before when I tried. Thank you Judy and I hope Charlie will be spending future dates in your wonderful care!!

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 Vernon 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 Vernon 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 Vernon 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 Vernon.
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 Vernon 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.
