“Mark did a great job taking care of my dog, Melo. He was reliable and Melo was well cared for while I was away, which really put my mind at ease. I would absolutely book Mark again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

“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.”

“Kristen took great care of my lab/shepard mix! I could tell my dog was happy, well loved, and cared for in my absence. I really loved the photo updates too. I highly recommend Kristen!”


“From the moment we dropped her off Maria was so warm and friendly!! She kept us updated with pictures and details we needed to know. Maria was very on top of everything and more...Highly highly recommend 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.

“Danielle and her husband were absolutely amazing while watching our little guy (Jaxson) for a quick getaway this week. We were given constant updates/pictures, and he clearly made himself right at home and was as comfortable as can be. Communication was prompt from the beginning and we were truly at ease while we were away that he was receiving more than adequate care. Jax became quick friends with their pets, and was moping around when we got home because he clearly misses them! Could not recommend enough!”

“Mariana was so great with our pup! She was so responsive and updated us multiple times a day while we were away! Our pup was so well taken care of and had a blast playing with the other doggies! Thank you again Mariana for treating our pup like your own!”

“Brittany is very sweet; my dog liked her right away. So did my husband and I! She is extremely accommodating and flexible. When we went to meet her she showed us her yard and took us inside to see her house and meet her dog. While we were away she sent daily photos which was wonderful. From them we could tell our dog was having fun. Brittany send home a very happy pup along with gifts of a new bandanna and a bag full of treats. In all ways she went the extra mile. We were very pleased with this dog sitting experience!”

“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.”

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.
“Stephanie is a fantastic sitter/ second family to Cubbie. She is always so attentive, gives frequent updates (about his sleeping, walking and play mates at her house.) My husband and I call her summer camp for Cubbie. She is a wonderful person and extremely communicative. We have had Cubbie stay with her several times and she is our go to person. We can’t recommend her enough.”

“Erin was great with my dog, taking her out on hikes and walks. Gave her plenty of time to play and kept me updated throughout with lots of pictures! Treated my dog like she was a part of her family. Would book again!!!”
“As a pet mama it was such an amazing experience for our sweet Batman! Karen was so diligent and professional with consistent and regular updates and fun photos and video updates. I know we will definitely use her again- Batman will be happy to go back anytime!”

“Carolina was so accommodating and understanding. I could tell my puppy enjoyed being around her and her family. She gave his his meds as she was asked to and kept him on my same routine. Would definitely book her again.”

“Anne-Marie and Steve are truly wonderful people with a genuine love for dogs. From the moment we dropped off our fur baby at their home, we felt at ease knowing he was in caring hands. They kept us updated regularly, reassuring us that he was safe, happy, and well-loved while we were away. Since our dog requires daily grooming and a bit of extra care, it meant the world to us to know he was in such attentive and capable hands. We deeply appreciate the love and dedication they showed, treating him as if he were their own. Thank you, Anne-Marie and Steve—we are so grateful!”

“Ariel was amazing with Bender. She went above and beyond. Her communication was excellent and sent pictures throughout his stay. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her in the future! Thank you!”

“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.”

“Noemi and Dave did an incredible job pet sitting my two elderly dogs. One of my dogs can be a bit shy and anxious but he felt right at home with Noemi and Dave. They were incredibly responsive and sent frequent updates and photos. It was clear that my pups felt comfortable and were well cared for by Noemi and Dave.”

“Bruce was so great watching our two pups the week we went away. One of our dogs is epileptic and requires special treatment, including medication multiple times a day. Bruce continuously updated me every time she was given her medication and restroom breaks along with pictures of both of the dogs. He made my time away on vacation as less stressful as can be being away from my dogs.”

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!

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 Wallingford 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 Wallingford 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 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.
