“I left my dogs with Mark and his family for an extended stay. We went for a meet and greet and he and his wife put me at ease at once. They are very pleasant and it is obvious that they love dogs. He sent updates so that I could see that they were well. Mark was very accommodating when we hit a lot of traffic on the way home and came much later than I had intended.”
“Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.”

“We had a great experience with Kristen! She took care of our Ladybug while we were away for a week on vacation. From our initial contact through our dog's stay, her communication was timely and informative. We appreciated the photos she sent and her flexibility when our return flight got delayed. I felt completely comfortable leaving Ladybug in her care, and our baby totally enjoyed the stay with her!”

About: I've owned dogs all my life and have dog sat in some capacity for family and friends for the last 10 years. I love dogs and treat each like my own. I'm reliable, flexible, and ready to work on short notice during summer. I'm willing to stay and house sit if my schedule permits. I love going for walks and hikes with pups and am not afraid to roll around on the floor for some playtime. I understand how important your pets are and will treat them as you would! I am willing to administer medicine if necessary and am flexible to other needs of your pet. Look forward to meeting you furry baby(ies)! I am a full time teacher. During the week I can let animals out early mornings and then am usually out of work by 3. My weekends are usually free. I will abide by house rules for your pet at home. If you use gates or electric collars please let me know. Happy to bring them on walks if needed.
“This was my first time boarding my pup and he had a blast! Mariana is so attentive and clearly loves the dogs in her care. My trip was made better by getting cute pics and vids everyday. Can't wait to board with her again.”

“Our dog Frida just finished her second boarding visit and loved her time with Brit and her family. It’s truly a home away from home for her. We got daily photos and updates. We have an older dog with diabetes and Brit was so helpful in being able to assist her in her feeding/medication requirements. Frida adores Brit, her family, and their dog and we look forward to using their services again moving forward!”
“Luci is and was Amazing. She treated my puppy Treasure like part of the Family. I will continue to ask Luci to take care of Treasue as long as she'll have him. I want to Thank Her over and over for giving me piece of mind while I was Away.”

“Stephanie is such a caring provider. We can tell she really enjoyed Bleu’s company and it was mutual! She understands his individual needs. She planned activities to match his energy. She also had other dogs that had pleasant vibes. She gave us a full progress report. We all love Stephanie and cannot wait to reconnect in the future.”

About: I've always had a deep love for animals, I've cared for dogs of all breeds and ages, giving them attention and afection, always making sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy! I work from home part-time, so this easily allows me to look after and keep an eye on your pets, as well as attend to all their needs. In my home🐾 i have a very friendly Frenchie and he would love to having a friend to play, i provide a warm and safe environment where your dog can feel happy! I stick to their usual routine, feeding times, walks, playtime and rest. Pets have acces to cozzy sleeping spots, and supervised outdoor time. I always can send you photos and updates so you can feel connected while you're away.
“I had such a great experience with Erin and her husband Jason. From the start, she was very communicative and caring. She offered to meet and greet in person and followed through on the agreed date and time. I truly appreciated being able to tour the home environment in which my dog would be staying in beforehand. Especially since this was my first time leaving my dog with a stranger for almost a week. The home environment was clean with a huge backyard area that my dog loved. During the stay, Erin sent me multiple picture updates daily. I felt at ease knowing my dog was okay and in good hands while I was away. They were attentive, welcoming, and treated my dog like their own. When I picked my dog up, I could tell she had been well cared for and was comfortable. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Karen! Before confirming the booking, she invited us for a meet and greet at her place, which has a spacious and comfortable room just for boarding dogs. One of the main reasons we chose her is that she doesn’t board dogs from different families at the same time, and her own dogs don’t interact with guests—something that really mattered to us since our 8-month-old German Shepherd was boarding for the very first time. Karen took careful notes, asked lots of thoughtful questions, and made sure to follow our dog’s usual routine. During our two-day trip, she sent frequent photo updates that gave us so much peace of mind. Our puppy was clearly comfortable and relaxed around her. We’ll definitely book with Karen again in the future!”

“Caring and loving family. She kept me abreast of my pup being sad that we weren’t around, and continued to go out of the way to make sure he was ok, just sad. Don’t hesitate to have them watch your pups.”

“My dog Ralph has stayed with Anne-Marie a few times now, and has always enjoyed himself. I always get great photos of him, and he never wants to leave. Would highly recommend!”

“We’ve used Ariel multiple times now and Max is always happy when we pick him up. She sends multiple photos while we’re away to see him having a blast with the other pups. Max loves when he stays with Ariel and her family! I would 100% recommend Ariel for anyone looking for a trustworthy person to watch your dog while you’re away!”
“I can't tell you how thankful I am to have found Elizabeth to watch our dog. We have never left him with someone we didn't know and this is our first time using Rover. She went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and confident in leaving my dog with her. She was great at communication before and during my dog's stay always letting me know how he was doing and also sending pictures along with the updates. I highly recommend her and will be booking with her again soon! Thank you Elizabeth!”

“Vanessa exceeded all expectations. I'm very nervous leaving my dog with anyone because she's very old and blind so requires a delicate touch- Vanessa provided that and more. Thank you so much Vanessa for taking such good care of my baby.”

“Bruce is so attentive and a loving caregiver for our dog. He sends regular updates so you are never wondering if your pet is doing ok. Our dog is very comfortable there.”

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 Wallingford 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 Wallingford.
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 Wallingford 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.
