“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!”
“Nicole and the girls took such great care of Friday. From the second they opened the door the girls took him under their wing and made him feel right at home. Nicole sent a ton of photos and I was jealous of how much fun they were having. I don’t think he wanted to come home! Thank you so much Nicole!”
“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”
“Alan and Luis took such great care of our dog, Hunter. They communicated often and provided a safe and fun environment for Hunter and all dogs. Highly recommend and will be rebooking when we travel”
“We’ve used a handful of sitters on rover and Angela and Tommy are the best. They have an awesome big yard, playful friendly pups, and give lots of love to our fur baby. Thankful to have a go to home for when we have to travel.”
“We have been looking for a “go-to” dog sitter since moving to the New Haven area this summer, and we’ve certainly found one in Noemi and David. We reached out on short notice, looking to board our dog for a long weekend, and they were nothing but accommodating. We were able to quickly schedule a meet and greet, visit their home, and socialize our dog with their family (and their dog, Milo). When we dropped him off there for boarding, we were as comfortable as we could be and had no hesitation in trusting Noemi and David to take care of him. We received great updates/videos over the weekend, and communication was consistently clear and prompt. Our dog seems to have settled right in and came home happily exhausted from plenty of play time this weekend. I can’t recommend Noemi and David enough. We won’t be looking to board our pup with anyone else as long as they’re available!”
“Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”
“Kara was amazing!! Going through a lot and I needed someone to take care of my two cats. She took them last minute and was so caring from the get go! One of my cats is very shy and he felt at home right away! I ended up extending the time because of my current situation. Will use her again!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Eva was the prefect match for my Teddy very warm and caring. Always sent videos with his tail wagging, which means he was happy and that what matters the most. Definitely would recommend Eva to friends and family, she's going to be my #1 for when I have to travel in the future 😁😁”
“Rich was incredibly kind and took great care of our pups. Booking was easy & everything went very well. Our dogs loved his property (lots of outdoor space!) and it was nice for them to get used to being around other dogs. Rich sent us photos of our dogs throughout their stay with him. They looked happy & content. Great experience 😊”
“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.”
“Erica was an amazing sitter! My boxer is elderly, anxious, and has some medical needs that make me cautious about being away from her. However, Erica made me feel so comfortable leaving Athena for the week. She has a warm, open, and caring vibe that made me feel at ease! Erica sent me pictures and was very responsive to my (anxious dog mom) messages. Athena came home happy and freshly groomed! We would absolutely have Athena stay with Erica again!”
“Pixie had a wonderful time with Addie and her family! They were very accommodating with our schedule, gave her plenty of opportunity to play and stay active with their own dogs and neighborhood walks; she came home tired and happy. We will definitely board Pixie with Addie and her family again.”
“Katie was wonderful. This was short notice and she could not have been more accommodating. Tully had a great time playing with the other pups and came home happy and exhausted. I highly recommend Katie.”
“Catherine was wonderful with Josie, she attended to every one of her needs and treated her like the true diva that she is! She gave her her drops, her eye drops three times a day on schedule, sent me pictures and videos. I was hoping Josie would a still wanna come home with me and not stay with Catherine.!!!Sue w.”
“This is my second time having my fur baby with Sue. It was a much longer visit this time (a week) amd Sue remained her kind communicative self. Would recommend in a heartbeat. She goes above and beyond. Thank you! 💕”
“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 !”

Pet 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!!

There are 1,069 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Watertown. About 90% of Watertown 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 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 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.
