“Sarah took such good care of Sammy, our sweet 13 year old golden retriever, during her first stay. Sammy was happy and relaxed when we picked her up, and clearly had a fun enjoyable stay. Sammy and Sarah’s golden, Maple, got along great, allowing Sammy to make another friend. We’ll definitely use Sarah again. Thank you!”
“Sonya was amazing! She is obviously a dob lover - attentive and kind, noticing the details and enjoying the work. We felt 100% confident with our dog in her care and would happily work with her again. She was communicative and easy to relate to - we are grateful!”
“Thank you, John, for your great care of Gaia. John was communicative, responsive and sent multiple pictures per day which my partner and I appreciated. I also appreciated John having us visit his home before his caring for her so she could build a sense of familiarity. We will definitely use John’s services again and am so appreciative of the care he provided for our fury family member.”
“I always get nervous leaving Bert, especially with someone new, but Natalie and Pat (and Scarlette) made me feel so at ease. They showered Bert with love and sent me frequent pictures and updates. I knew he was well taken care of in their care. I will absolutely be bringing Bert back :) I can't thank you guys enough!”
“My Goldendoodle had the best time with Amber and her family. I felt my pup was safe with the fenced in backyard. Amber updated me a few times a day and sent photos. Would highly recommend.”
“Sam is truly the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. Our pups absolutely adored her and had the most wonderful time. She didn’t just board them — she welcomed them into her home and treated them like family. They had endless space to play, explore, and burn off energy, and it was clear they loved every minute of it. Sam was incredibly patient with my rescue pup, too. He’s usually very shy, but she took the time to help him warm up, and he ended up so happy and completely in love with her. We honestly wouldn’t want anyone else caring for our dogs. She’s amazing!”
“Julia was AWESOME. In fact, I worried that our dog, Tucker, would end up preferring to stay with her rather than come home with us! She watched our very enthusiastic 1.5 year old golden retriever for the weekend, and took him on hikes, had him splashing in brooks and meeting goats. She was easy to get in touch with, accepted our last minute booking (including squeezing in a meet and greet prior) and sent great photos. 10/10 recommend!!”
“Christina and Jason say that 'while your dog is with us, your dog is our dog', and they really mean it. They truly understand and love dogs. There is absolutely nothing else I could want in a pet sitter. I am so grateful to have found them. My dog is pretty darn happy about it too.”
“My sister and I were heading to Stowe with our dogs for a ski trip when we found out the house wasn't dog friendly. Oh no! Luckily we found Gwynn who lives close to Stowe. She only takes two dogs at a time which was perfect for my dog and my sister's since they're best friends! Gwynn was great with initial introductions with my somewhat skittish dog and her dogs. We were in contact with her everyday with photos and a video of them frolicking in the snow. She always responded quickly via phone or text. After picking them up, our dogs ended up sleeping the entire next day from having too much fun. My dog in particular did not want to leave Gwynn's chickens! I would highly recommend Gwynn, especially if your dog needs personal attention, lots of exercise and outdoor time.”
“Savannah is the kindest soul and took care of our dog as if they were her own. She was quick to reply for updates and was attentive to Murphys active breed (walks & enrichment). Savanahh will be our go to while in Vermont!”
“JD and his family took excellent care of my two dogs, Dot and Tot. They were caring, meticulous about schedules, and communicative to me throughout the weekend. Their house is located next to a large park with a variety of hiking trails - an excellent location providing plenty of walking and exercise opportunities. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again when I come back up!”
“Rosan gave consistent updates and photos to keep me fully informed about my dogs stay. My pup had a lot of fun playing with their dog and was well taken care of.”
“Again Laura has made our travel out of town so easy. Buddy had a great weekend at her house while we were out of town. Our dog is on some daily medication and Laura took care of it without a problem. She is great with our dog and it is so reassuring to know he's in good hands. ”
“Danielle cared for our dog River for an entire week at her house. River is a young, very high energy dog and Danielle did a great job handling him, especially with the other dogs that were staying with her. Her communication is excellent and we received pictures and texts daily. She has a beautiful, wide open space for the dogs to run off leash. I would not hesitate to leave your dog with Danielle!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Waterbury Center on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 172 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Waterbury Center. 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.
97% of Waterbury Center 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 Center 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 Center 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 Center.
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 Center 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 VT 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.
