“Fiona watched my dog Cal for the first time as a boarder in her home. Cal loves being there and it went very well , she was able to read his emotions and react proactively to keep him content which means a lot to me and my sometimes anxious dog. A true pro and I will be using her services again soon. And Cal gets excited every time we pull up to her home ! Thank you Fiona !”
“Our pup came home a happy boy. We needed last minute boarding and Samantha was more than accommodating. Constant updates were provided throughout the stay. Would gladly book again in the future.”
“Jessica & Ian are true professionals. First time leaving our 15 year old dog with a nonfamily member & they took such great care of her. They responded to my questions and sent beautiful photos of her while I was away. They treated her like a member of their family. Apparently she even bonded with their dog which is unusual for her! Thank you so much!”
“Karen was outstanding caring for our dude while we were gone. She sent pictures daily and treated him like her own. She helped us feel completely comfortable and we are excited to utilize her in the future. We can’t be more thankful for finding her so close to us!”
About: I’ve trained multiple dogs for obedience & hunting, which I’ve dedicated several months to do for each pup. I have a 10 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever that’s very well trained and well behaved. I work from home, so I’m here all day unless I go out for something at the store or gym. If gone, I always let the dog roam free and keep the tv on for him. Naturally I play with the pup several times a day. My office is connected to the backyard, so I can throw the ball or play often. I have no issues letting the dog outside whenever they’d like.
About: I have been care for my family dog's since 5 years old, I have walked and bath dogs and perivously own cats and taken care of them before. I work part time and also currently in college, I am available after 5 pm on the weekends and I am available all summer as I am back from school. I would care up on the pets frequently and note any unusual behavior to ask the client if that should help a concern or not. I would also walk and provide the meals for pet as needed during my free time. I personally don't have a residence in my area to house pets, but in a client home I would make sure they have the required meal and walk them as requested by the client. If the service is available I'm will the perform the same duties I would in client house and make changes based on client's request
“Robin is always so wonderful with our dog, Adelaide. She does regular drop in visits with her so when we need boarding services, Robin is always our first choice! She shows our dog so much care, attention and love.”
“I left my dog with Nadine and her family for the first time (for several days) and I am SO happy I did. I could tell that he was in the best hands, and I appreciated the regular updates and pictures! They want above and beyond to make my anxious dog comfortable and he came up happy and relaxed. I will definitely keep them in mind for future stays as they have my highest recommendation.”
“Pam was great. She posted a lot of pictures to let us know Luna was having fun and communicated daily. You could tell she had a lot of experience with dogs and with petting sitting/boarding. We would definitely use Pam again for the next time we go out of town.”
“Wow, Valerie was amazing. I knew my dogs and cat were in good care. She sent us photos throughout the ENTIRE stay and it made me feel so comfortable. My family was worried about leaving our pets with a 'stranger' but Valerie didnt feel like that to us. Her property was GORGEOUS! and had so much room for the puppies to run around and play. They were all tired out and we could tell by the photos she sent us of our dogs sleeping. My cat was also welcomed and had a nice time too. 11/10”
“I really appreciated the pictures I got of my dog during her stay. There was even a fenced in porch so Molly had a chance to lay outside in the sun, her favorite pastime. Molly seemed to have a good stay despite her anxieties.”
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.
“Anna was the best sitter for our Doberman/German Shepard mix, Onyx! She watched Onyx for 4 days while we were out of town and did an amazing job at giving updates and sending pictures. Would definitely use her services again and gladly recommend to anyone looking in the future”
“Mark was very professional and always kept us informed about our dog. He sent pictures of our dog every day and let us know how she was and what she did each day. Definitely Mark will be our go to next time we need someone to watch our dog.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, birds, chickens, fish, and horses since I was little. Anything from feeding to exercise to medical needs I can handle. As I am taking online classes for college as well as commuting from home, my schedule is super open and I’m ready to care for your animals! I have a large fenced in yard with a park right next door for easily accessible walks and exercise. I also have two dogs who are very friendly and love to be around others. I can easily separate if necessary
“Estelle took excellent care of Frannie for the weekend. She was part of the family and I felt reassured and comfortable she was well taken care of and they enjoyed having her there. It is so nice to be able to leave town and not have to worry about your pet. Thank you, Estelle and family!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waterbury
This was my first time with a pet-sitter and Yajaira made our experience great and worry free. From the meet and greet weeks in advanced, Yajaira was patient with Potato and gave her time to adjust to her. During Potato's stay, Yajaira sent updates, pictures, and made Potato comfortable. I usually use a boarding facility, but it's clear that a smaller home environment is better for my girl. Plus, I was at ease too. Potato had a good time with Yajaira. I would definitely recommend her service.
Victoria did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Kujo! She made sure all the pets were safe, gave him plenty of love and attention, and treated him like one of her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!
This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! She took wonderful care of my dog, kept me updated with messages, and gave me complete peace of mind. She was also incredibly accommodating when I realized I had forgotten to include an extra day on my original booking, and she made the process so easy. On top of that, she patiently helped me navigate the Rover app as a first-time user, which I really appreciated. Kind, reliable, and communicative—I would absolutely book with her again!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,067 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Waterbury. About 91% of Waterbury 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.

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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
