“Yajaira was amazing! I was so nervous about using the app let alone leaving my dog with someone other than family. This was my first time and everything went perfect. I did a meet and greet prior to the stay where I met with Yajaira and her small dog to see how the vibe was with everyone. She was sweet and her and my dog got along well. She sent daily pictures and updates which I was thankful for. She cared for my dog like family. I’m so happy I found someone close to home that I can trust. Thank you so much again.”

“Jen was amazing with our Izzy! She kept us updated everyday on how Izzy was doing. Izzy had lots of love and attention, and exercise! Would 100% recommend Jen with the care of your furry family members.”

“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.”

“Erika was great to our young puppy. We needed someone to watch our dog on very short notice, because our other Rover sitter had a loss in their family. We are so grateful for Erika for being reliable & friendly.”

“Addie was an absolute gem & was so welcoming to my Beagle puppy! She sent me cute photos, has a designated space for the dogs, & a great yard for running around. She also took my dog on walks and has lovely children for my pup to play with. I really appreciate her time and definitely hope to book with her again in the near future. With gratitude, Katrina”


About: I’ve always had pets growing up. Over the past 20 years I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, cats, rabbits, turtles, snakes, and hamsters. I love animals more than most humans. My sister is also a vet which is super handy to have. I currently work from home so I can be present and then I have down time I can play and tend to my furry house guest. I have a room for my dogs with a very bring crate, beds and toys. When I have furry guests I can always alternate my dogs in the room or the furry guest into that room. They could also wonder around the apartment as well. My building complex also has a dog park which is nice to run around and play.
“Jourdyn was kind and nice with my dog (Bianca), they were together for 2 weeks, I am sure Bianca enjoyed her stay. Jourdyn sent me updates everyday. Bianca was in good mood after I picked her up. Definetly”


About: With have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and breeds. My experience includes daily walks, potty training, feeding, administering basic care, and providing attentive companionship. I am passionate about ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether caring for an energetic puppy, a senior dog, or an independent cat, I provide reliable, patient, and personalized care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I truly believe pets are cherished family members, and I am dedicated to making sure they feel safe, happy, and deeply cared for while their owners are away. Whether I am spending time with a playful puppy, a gentle senior dog, or an independent cat, I provide patient, dependable, and personalized care that reflects each pet’s unique personality and needs. I learned early on how special the human-animal bond can be and how important it is to understand their behaviors, emotions, and individual needs. Every pet I care for is treated as if they were my own, with plenty of affection, attention, kindness, and genuine love. As a nursing student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and loving care for your pets throughout the day. Your pup can enjoy supervised outdoor time in my fully fenced backyard, along with walks, play sessions, and lots of affection. Weekends are especially flexible since I am off from school, making it easy to accommodate boarding, drop-in visits, or extended care. My goal is to ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free home environment where pets are treated like family. My home features a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play and exercise, along with plenty of indoor space for rest, relaxation, and cuddles. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions provided by their owners. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, and I maintain a clean, secure environment to ensure their well-being at all times.
“Adriana updated me everyday also sent pictures on how my puppy was doing. I am very pleased with how they took care of my puppy. I will be using their services again whenever I need someone to care for my dog.”

“Best pet sitter ever!!!! Liz went above and beyond and took great care of my Boston Terrier!! 10/10 stars! Will be using her again for all my future pet sitting!!! Liz took the time at least once a day on my 18 day booking to send updates on potty, treats, feeding, playtime/walks as well as send photos of my dog! She treated Mickey like family. Couldn’t have had a better experience!!”

“Jill and her family are amazing! We have left our maltipoo, Benji with them a few times and they have cared for him so well. Benji just did and overnight and I he loved it. If you need pet care, do not hesitate for a second with Jill. She and her family are great and are our go to sitters!”

“Fiona was fantastic! Meet and greet first and got comfortable with the setup. She sent pics and updates as requested and I will be booking with her again soon. I could tell my dog Cal was very comfortable there both during and after.”


“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!”

“James and family were wonderful with our dog, taking him in for a week while we went on a recent trip. His communication was thorough to assure us that things were going well, along with any questions about his care as needed. It was evident that our dog endeared himself to their family and had a great stay. We would definitely recommend James for any dog sitter needs and would rebook him as a dog sitter for future occasions”


“Maria was great! So friendly, attentive, responsive & easy to work with. You can tell she loves dogs and she took excellent care of my Remy! Knowing Remy was in good hands made it much less stressful to go on vacation. I loved getting pictures & updates and already booked her to watch Remy again. Thank you, Maria! :)”

“Jaylese took wonderful care of my dog while I was away on vacation. She asked a lot of great questions upfront to ensure Zander would be properly cared for and attended to throughout his stay. Jaylese was very caring and thoughtful, always sending pics and updates. I could tell he got plenty of love and activity throughout his stay. I would not hesitate to use her services again and recommend her to others.”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Waterbury
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Waterbury on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,054 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Waterbury. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
98% of Waterbury 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 Waterbury 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 Waterbury 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 Waterbury.
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 Waterbury 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.
