“Kathleen is amazing! Molly had a great time. Our dog has seizures and requires multiple meds. She took expert care of our Molly. We will definitely try booking with her again.”
“We had such a great experience with Jennifer who care of our dog, Daisy, for almost a week. Jennifer was very communicative throughout the week - keeping us updated throughout our trip with thoughtful messages and plenty of photos showing Daisy relaxed, happy, and clearly enjoying her time with Jennifer and her family. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Daisy was in such caring and capable hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jennifer again—highly recommended!”
“We where looking for a Sitter for our two little guys at last minute and Yajaira came to the rescue she is very polite great Communication and flexible with scheduling. We had no worries while out of state for a few days definitely recommend we will continue to use her services in the near future!”
“Saori was such a great sitter for our pups (1 year old great pyrenees). She took them to the dog park in the morning for a couple of hours, helped continue our invisibile fence training, and sent us so many pics and updates throughout the weekend. I could tell how happy and comfortable our dogs were in her home and under her care. They came home so tired because they had so much fun with her and the other dogs!”
“Liliana & her husband were very good with Luigi. They both took the time during our Meet & Greet to ask questions and get to know him. Liliana sent pictures during his stay and he looked happy out on his afternoon walks.”
“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”
“Cassandra & Nolan took excellent care of my Rosie girl while I was on a day trip to NYC. Frequent walks, cuddles, playtime, and plenty of photo updates. She enjoyed taking part in their holiday celebration! I will definitely book them again next time I'm in CT.”
“Jessica and Ian were terrific! We went away to a family wedding and I was so nervous leaving my 17 year old Bo. When interviewing them I told them about Bo being elderly with walking issues and other elderly ailments, and they assured me that they had no problem, loved elderly dogs, and would take great care of him. Well they were right!! He settled right in and looked so happy in the pics they sent. And he was fine and relaxed when we picked him up.”
“Our boxer, Daisy, stayed with Valerie while we vacationed for a week in Florida. Valerie and her family were great from the start, not only with Daisy but also entertaining my eight year old son when we arrived for an introductory visit. They had plenty of room for Daisy to run around and two playful but well behaved dogs of their own that accepted Daisy in. Valerie provided updates during the week to let us know how Daisy was adapting and getting along with everyone and how much her family loved having her. She was also extremely flexible with drop off and pick up times knowing our hectic travel schedule. The next time we go away for an extended period, Valerie is definitely my first contact attempt.”
“Can’t say enough great things about Bruce. I love seeing how Liam runs up to him every drop off. Bruce is very good about sticking to liams eating schedule which I appreciate and the picture updates are always a treat.”
“Maria was outstanding with taking care of my pug while I was in Italy for a week!! I was traveling with my boyfriend and didn’t have a phone plan, and Maria had no problem with communicating with me through my boyfriends phone. I got many updates and photos of how my dog was doing. I can tell she had a great time and was given the best care with Maria. I couldn't have had a better experience with Maria as my first time using Rover!!”
“Enrique H. was... no is absolutely amazing! He was very kind to our puppy. We were very nervous leaving our lil one for the first time, but his experience, set up of his house, and communication skills made it easy for us to trust he would take good care of our puppy. If you are looking for someone to take care of your high energy puppy, Enrique H. is the one!”
“Addie kept my dogs over Christmas. She was so amazing and understanding when my flight was delayed and ultimately canceled on our return home. I highly recommend her and I hope she is available to care for my babies again in the future!”
“We left our Bernese Mountain Dog with Kara for a week and a half and had so much peace of mind knowing he was being loved as much as we love him. Kara was great and sent us many pictures and updates throughout our time away. I have to say, our doggie looked like he was smiling in all of the pictures...I was afraid he wouldn't want to come home :) I highly recommend Kara to love your pets in your absence!”
“Nadine and her family were wonderful in taking care of our dog, Stella, while we were away. They were very attentive to Stella’s needs and personality and kept to her regular routine. Nadine kept us updated of Stella throughout her stay which is important when apart from your pets. We will definitely be using Nadine and Daniel again as dog sitters and highly recommend them to anyone considering a sitter for their pets.”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our dog anywhere else other than our home. It was a little bit stressful, and we had a bit of anxiety, but Erika made us feel so at ease. We received multiple updates during the day. She sent many pictures and really made us feel comfortable knowing that Ginger was happy and well taken care of. Would definitely recommend and book again.”
“Amazing caregiving to our two babies (Tiger and Georgia) by Laura and her family! We left them with Laura for about 2 weeks. We loved it! We will recommend them to anyone. -Navarun and Michael”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Watertown
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!
Ollie is a rescue who came to us very frightened and untrusting about a year ago. So I was so nervous to have to leave him with a sitter. Chelsea provided to most welcoming a loving environment for Ollie. He settled right in and I could tell by all of the pics Chelsea sent that he was 100% in good hands and comfortable. Thank you so much Chelsea. We will definitely being coming back with Ollie!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Watertown on Rover is $42.8 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 1,029 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Watertown. 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 Watertown 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 Watertown 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 Watertown 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 Watertown.
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 Watertown 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.
