“Alan and Luis took great care of our Maggie. We are planning a longer vacation in the near future. I wanted Maggie to have an opportunity to get acclimated before our longer trip. Maggie was only at Alan and Luis’ house for one night and I received multiple photos. It was so reassuring that she was well taken care of. Thank you so much! I would definitely recommend them.”
“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!”
“We are so happy to find Khanh and Tommy to care for our Pluto while we are away for 2 weeks. We feel he is in good hands. He receives lot of loves and attentions like at home. My sons are excited seeing daily photos and videos of our Pluto playing with Khanh’s family and their dogs in their backyard. We will use them again and highly recommend their service! Thank you so much!”

“I was always nervous about leaving my dog with anyone when I went away. But then I found Chris and his wife , they are amazing with the dogs. They have a nice fenced in backyard for the dogs to play, they go on walks as well. Chris is always good about sending pictures of Gigi when she’s there. I feel very comfortable leaving Gigi with Chris and his wife and I will continue to use them for my future trips. Thanks again Chris you guys are great Gigi’s always happy to visit.”
“Margaret was absolutely amazing. I needed someone for a last-minute trip and she was quick to respond and super communicative! I have a 12 week old puppy and after our meet and greet I fully trusted her with him and felt 100% comfortable! Her golden got along super well with my dog and I was happy he had a friend. She updated me with pictures and videos everyday and took such great care of him. He almost didn’t want to leave! Margaret was awesome and will be using her again for trips! Thank you so much!”

“I had a great experience with Mecheal. I left my 10-month-old Aussie with her for a week, and I was nervous about leaving him with someone new. She took excellent care of my dog. She sent me pictures and updates every day, which really helped ease my worries. It was clear that my pup was happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend her as a dog sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby! Will definitely use her again”

“Thanks for watching the boys! I can be a nervous dog mom and also worried that 2 XL dogs with puppy/teen brain can be A LOT for most people. So glad they were well taken care of, appreciated the pictures, and the pups weren’t anxious at pick up so I know it went well! Highly recommend and will book again”
“Sherry was great! Very professional, flexible, good communication. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loves her! They had lots of fun adventures together and I knew my pet was in good hands. I will use Sherry as my go to sitter from now on and will recommend her to others.”
“Maggie took very good care of Samson, or 2 1/2 year old energetic dog. good looooong walks, lots of cuddling, and he seemed really happy there. Add to that, lots of photos sent to us to put our minds more at ease while we were away. Her dog Moose got along really well with Samson too. I'd recommend her to anyone who wants TLC for their pup.”
“Nancy and Steve are fantastic!!!!!! Took care of my Yorkie that has never stayed with anyone other than myself . From the start I was comfortable with her staying with them . They took her for many walks and paid extra attention to her making her part of there home . Sending many updates thru out the stay making the process easier. I would diffenently let my Yorkie stay with them again and highly recommend. Thank You!!!!!!!”

Chris is great! I was worried bc my 1 year old golden retriever has tons of energy and sometimes other dogs have a issue with that but Chris send me quite a few pics over the weekend and said my baby did great with the pack! She looked very happy…love the dogs have freedom around his house and the big yard! I definitely recommend!!
I highly recommend Klaudia. She did a great job with our dog, Macy. Klaudia has a kind family and two sweet dogs of her own. She sent several pictures, which I loved. I could tell our dog was comfortable and happy with Klaudia. I was worried Macy may not want to come home with us! We will definitely be coming back in the future.

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.
98% of West Hartford 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 West Hartford 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 West Hartford 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 West Hartford.
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 West Hartford 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.
