“We had a great experience with Kate! Our dog, Sampson, stayed in her home and was very well cared for. Communication was easy and consistent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. Sampson is pretty easygoing, but it was clear he was treated with attention and kindness. We will definitely book with them again.”

“They are AMAZING!! My little dog Mochi loved them a lot and I can tell he had good time with them. Normally Mochi is very shy with other people. But right away when Mochi sees Nadine family, they are already being friends. They knows dogs well and find out very quick what doggy needs. Friendly, sweet, treat like family. Everyday send me a comment (condition of my dog, what is plan) with good pictures. It makes me feel so much comfortable. Best people ever! I will come back with them. Thank you so much!! ☺️”

“Sabrina is the best! She introduced my timid Elvis to her 2 little dogs and they became fast friends. She was very concerned Elvis wouldn't eat, so she offered to cook him some chicken. After a walk in the woods, she found a tick on him and pulled it out. She sent me pictures of the dogs playing together. My favorite was of him cuddling up to her. I will definitely ask her to watch my baby again.”

“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 :)”

“It was our first time leaving our puppy Misha with a sitter for 2 nights, and we are so grateful to Catherina for her thoughtful care. She was very organized, responded promptly to my messages, and sent photos of Misha at home and during walks. She gave Misha his prescription medication on time, and he had fun playing with Catherina's puppies. We are so happy with Cat's great care, and highly recommend her.”

About: With over 18 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs, animals have always been the center of my life. I am a certified dog trainer through ABC (Animal Behavior College), where I completed coursework and hands-on mentorship training. My first Jack Russell, full of energy and determination, inspired me to become a trainer and deepened my passion for understanding animal behavior. Today, I share my home with a younger, playful pack, including another Jack Russell, and I’ve learned the importance of balancing order, safety, and discipline with letting dogs simply enjoy being dogs. I believe younger dogs benefit from observation, gentle guidance, and time to grow before intense training, so my focus is always on safe, positive, and enriching experiences. I use equipment designed for safety — such as secure belt leashes — to make sure dogs are comfortable and protected on walks. Whether it’s puppies, seniors, or high-maintenance small breeds, I have the hands-on experience to give each pet the right level of care and attention. My senior dog, who recently passed after nearly 17 years by my side, required 24/7 care during her final year. That experience taught me patience, vigilance, and the deep responsibility of caring for animals at every stage of life. Our home is designed with pets in mind — safe, welcoming, and filled with love. With a friendly resident pack, dogs here need to enjoy the company of other dogs to feel at home. Small dogs are my specialty, but I welcome pups of all kinds and treat every animal as if they were my own. The only challenge you might face? Your dog may not want to go home. My partner and I both work from home, so we’re with our dogs throughout the day. We balance our time between working indoors and enjoying the outdoors when the weather is nice, with walks and dog park visits built into our mornings and evenings. We also enjoy picnics, hikes, and other activities that include our pets, since they’re truly part of our everyday life. None of our animals are ever crated — they’re free to be with us and part of our routine at all times. We have three secure, fenced yard areas designed for different activities. One area is set aside for bathroom breaks, where pets can go on their own. The other two yards are used for supervised playtime. Inside, our dogs have access to two levels of the home. The lower level is the cat zone, and the cats also enjoy access to one of the fenced yards. All pets have free range within their spaces and spend the day with me or my partner, so they are always supervised and cared for. We don’t crate any of our own pets — they are all very friendly and used to being around both cats and dogs. I’m a very hands-on, “helicopter” type fur mom — safety, love, and care are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are mentally stimulated, and I’m always checking for ticks or any health concerns. I shared my life with two beloved dogs for nearly 17 and 15 years, and losing them a few years ago was heartbreaking. They traveled everywhere with me and showed me the depth of the bond we share with animals. Caring for pets is my greatest passion, and I feel honored every day to be in their company. I will do whatever is required to keep your animals happy and cared for as if they were my own. I will always follow your instructions closely — from feeding to routines — and will never do anything that isn’t approved by you. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness come first.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even ferrets! I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know their different personalities. I’m also a registered nurse, so being dependable, attentive, patient, and caring comes naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities, and I’ll always treat yours like my own. I’m new to Rover, but definitely not new to caring for animals! 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays throughout the week, including weekends. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so fitting walks and playtime into my day is something I genuinely look forward to. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routines, especially when their owners are away! When caring for pets in their own homes, I do my best to keep things familiar and stress-free

About: I’ve always had pets in my home and absolutely love caring for animals! I currently have two sweet cats of my own, and over the years, family and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats. While I’m new to Rover, I have hands-on experience with dog walking, feeding, pet sitting, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of opportunities to give your pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I also have a large yard and live in a quiet, walk-friendly neighborhood, making it a great environment for dogs who enjoy getting outside and exploring. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, some playtime and attention during the day, or care while you’re away, I’m happy to work with their routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, following their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I can also take dogs for walks around my quiet neighborhood and make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. When pets stay in my home, I want them to feel as comfortable as possible. Dogs who are comfortable around cats are welcome to enjoy the common areas of my home. For cats, I also have a separate room available so they can have their own quiet, comfortable space if they prefer to be away from other animals.

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!

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Wallingford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Wallingford is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $54 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 1,066 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Wallingford. About 90% of Wallingford sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
