About: Your dog is going to have a good time with me because I really enjoy time with them, they make my life better every single day. In my opinion the safest way to know the love is sharing time with dogs, they always let you know how happy they are to have to near, they just are always good and better for our life with the hability to change a bad day in a few minutes with some with some licks and barks from them. Dogs are love, Joy, loyalty for everybody around the world. Undoubtedly! I am 100% sure about it. Let me be happy with your dog too :) I will be so glad I am a part time employee, so I have always some time to take care of your dog when you are busy and need some help with your fur friend I have an spacious home with one dog and always door open to receive your dog when you need help taking care of him or her

“I left for vacation and had to leave my kitty, Riott, behind, and I’m so grateful I found Katarina. She was absolutely amazing with him and made him feel right at home. She gave him lots of love, paid close attention to his needs, and treated him so well. She also kept me updated every day with adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It felt so reassuring knowing Riott was with someone who genuinely cared about him and knew how to take care of him. I will definitely book with Katarina again!”

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for friends' and family's dogs, I’m a trusted and reliable dog lover who treats every pup like my own. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day—alongside my gentle St. Bernard. From house sitting to daily walks, I bring patience, love, and a calm presence to every pet I meet! I work from home majority of the day M-F, having to run out for work occasionally during the day no more than 2 hours. Super flexible schedule. Live 5 minutes from a large fenced in dog park and take our dog there daily! I allow dogs on the couch for snuggling, 5 minutes walking distance to large fenced in dog park or tons of sidewalks to take walks. Work from home so can house sit if needed!

About: I have been taking care of dogs for about 6 years and have encountered all types, from the couch potatoes to the ones who want to play nonstop! I am home full time so I am available any day and any time for drop off and pick up. Being home full time also means I will be available for your pet at anytime they need me throughout there stay at my home. I have a sturdy 100 ft dog runner that has held very large dogs. However,if your dog does better on a regular leash just let me know and I can leash for bathroom breaks instead. While at my home your pet is my only priority and I am happy to suit any needs they have.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and I will take care of yours as they were my own. I love being outdoors so they won’t ever be bored. I will make sure your pup is taken care of while you are away, I understand the anxiety that comes with leaving them so I will send updates and pics to put you at ease if needed. I will adhere to rules and training that you are working on with the dog. I will ask questions to see what exactly you and they need. If needing overnight care you can be assured I will look after them and they will not be lonely. We will socialize and play until it’s time for them to go home. I can’t wait to meet all of the new paws! I walk my dog everyday and we love going to places where he can run around and have some fun! We go out in all kinds of weather unless it is dangerous to be out. My dog is a part of my family. He has a very comfortable life and his choice of space on the couch. We go for walks everyday and he loves playing in the yard

“We were so lucky to find Sara on Rover! She is super professional made us feel immediately at ease to travel without worry. Sara sent us daily updates with pictures of our frenchie, Coconut. We could tell by the pictures that Coconut was very happy and comfortable. Sara took her outside often to enjoy her yard and the sunshine. She took her for walks with her children who also gave her lots of attention and love. Coconut had an amazing vacation at Sara's house! We look forward to planning our next trip knowing that Coconut will have the best care.”

About: Hi, I’m Adriana! With over 15 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I’m passionate about providing reliable, personalized, and loving care to pets of all ages, breeds, and energy levels. I’m Certified in Pet CPR & First Aid, Insured, Bonded, AND I also teach Pet CPR to others - your pet's safety is always my top priority. I am also currently training to become a Certified Dog Trainer. Having lived in both El Salvador and Qatar, I bring a unique perspective to pet care, shaped by diverse cultures and pet needs. Now based in Essex, I’ve come to love the untouched beauty of the CT River Valley, where peaceful landscapes offer the perfect setting for outdoor adventures with pets. From daily walks and adventure hikes to one-on-one attention for senior pups or anxious dogs, I tailor every service to meet your pet’s unique needs. You’ll receive regular updates with photos and notes, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. For overnight stays, I offer a peaceful, safe home environment with a fenced-in yard. Perfect for pups who thrive in a cozy, calm space. **Please note** - Rates: Message me for a custom quote, Rover often mistakenly calculates total costs. - I offer discounts for weekday daytime recurring weekly services for year round clients - A 15 min visit is $25, 30-min visit is$35, 45 min visit is $45, and 60 min is $60. - For dogs, I only offer evening and weekend services to dogs we see on weekdays on a recurring basis. - Any services outside of 9 AM-4 PM Mon-Fri or on weekends incur a $10 after-hours fee. - Home Daycare Services: Offered only for dogs with a recurring schedule (minimum 3x/week). - All new Boarding dogs need to complete a paid Trial Overnight Stay **Booking Steps** 1. Let’s discuss your dog’s needs and schedule via message or video call. 2. If it’s a great match, we’ll schedule a Meet & Greet. 3. Once we’ve met, I’ll confirm and officially book your service. Pet care is my full-time job, and I’m dedicated to offering flexible, reliable care. I have open availability on both weekdays and weekends, including holidays, to ensure your pet always receives the attention they need. Whether you need early morning walks, evening visits, or last-minute requests, I’m here to accommodate your schedule and provide dependable, ongoing support for your pet’s needs. Let’s work together to establish a routine that ensures your pet’s happiness and well-being, no matter the day or time. For consistency and the best care, I highly recommend weekly recurring services. I provide services both at your home (Dog Walks, Visits, Hikes, Overnights) or at my home (Daycare and Boarding) + I’m training to become a Dog Trainer, so I can work on basic cues and manners. Services at My Home: Your pet will enjoy a cozy, calm, safe, and low-traffic environment. Here’s how I ensure their comfort and well-being: - Limited Spots: Only 3 households at a time for personalized care. - Secure & Spacious: A fenced-in yard with security cameras indoors and outdoors for peace of mind. - Comfort & Enrichment: Luxury dog beds, enrichment toys, puzzle feeders, DogTV, and calming music to keep them entertained and relaxed. - Health & Safety: Non-toxic cleaning supplies, plenty of water, and dog steps for mobility issues.

About: Labradoodle Specialist. I’m a lifelong dog owner who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I provide attentive, reliable walks tailored to each dog’s pace and personality, with patience for puppies and gentle care for older dogs.

About: I am a dependable and responsible person who has a passion and a love for dogs and wishes to care for yours. I have grown up around dogs my entire life and have loved and valued each one in my life. I adopted 2 dogs in my life and the love I feel/felt for them is like no other. I trained and raised my dog that I adopted at 19 and have been a pet sitter for multiple families throughout the years. I am now a stay at home mom looking to care for dogs for extra income. We are home bodies that usually love to stay local and enjoy our home. I’m a stay at home mom and my partner works remote so our dog gets tons of love and attention throughout the day. We have a large fenced in yard and our amazing dog churro to keep your pet company. Daily walks and playtime outside is a must.

Our boys were very happy with Elisa and family. We missed them so we came back early and Elisa insisted we on updating the reservation so we got a day of refund. We got photos while we were gone and a very special photo when we got back. I highly recommend this family.

We wholeheartedly recommend Katelin. She watched our Australian Shepherd when an unexpected trip arose. I can be a little Type A with directions and she was very gracious and amenable. Add to that great communication and pictures. Working with Katelin was both a professional and enjoyable experience!!

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Waterford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Waterford is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $79 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 350 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Waterford. About 91% of Waterford 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.
