“Lovely experience leaving my foster pitbull with Yvette for a weekend. Right away I noted her nice calm demeanor. Maggie is a very nervous dog, but she responded well to Yvette on first meeting, so I felt good about that. Yvette also has all the needed supplies, lots of toys and a crate, which was nice because Maggie likes to have a place to feel safe when she’s nervous. I would feel very comfortable leaving Maggie with Yvette again. :)”
“My labradoodle Joye loves to stay with Angela and Tommy, I can say by his demeanour. I also like the updates about Joye with pictures and promptly responds to my messages .”
“Kathryn & Jeremy were great! Their house was cozy and friendly. Our corgi loved playing with their kids and he was definitely tired when he got home. They were great at communication and we felt our dog was safe. Will book with them again!”
“My dog had a wonderful day with Manolita!! She’s so kind and caring and made us both feel comfortable! When I picked him up from his stay he was very comfortable and calm, which was a great sign! She also sent pictures and updates throughout the day, which I loved! I highly recommend her!”
“Didn’t get to meet Inam but Jennifer was amazing with my Ralphie! She’s very patient and kind, all the good qualities needed to take great care of your pets. They sent pictures and updates almost every day which was much appreciated. Looked like my pup had a lot of fun. I’ll definitely be using their services again!”
“James was fantastic! I have a relatively shy dog, but he came home super happy and clearly had a fun time with James and fam in a super compassionate, loving household. Would recommend them anytime.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Christle! From the moment I met her, I fell in love with her beautiful yard and her sweet dogs — it’s truly a dog paradise. I have a very anxious pup with lots of different triggers, and Christle was amazing at helping me feel at ease. Over the two weeks my dog stayed with her, she sent updates and reassured me that my fur baby was doing great and adapting well — which really speaks to her and her family’s incredible patience and care. I am almost at disbelief with how well my dog was doing in her home! It was so clear that she treated my dog like one of her own — she completely spoiled her in the best way possible! From providing cuddles to sharing her canned food with my dog, it is clear that Christle is passionate about going above and beyond the dogs who come through her home. It was such a relief to know my pup was in such loving hands. I’ll 100% be booking with Christle again — she’s the best! 🐾”
“As always, Sandra and her husband John are so attentive, caring and loving towards Lulu, they treat her as their own. She truly cares about her and provides immaculate care. Lulu requires medication as well as frequent meals and Sandra is always on top of her care!”
“I was very nervous about the prospect of leaving Naki with anyone but a relative, especially since I haven't used Rover for any of their services. However, once I got to know Patti, my anxiety instantly went away. Her calm and kind demeanor brought me comfort as I knew Naki would be in good hands. Naki was with Patti for a weekend, and she would send me updates every couple of hours with pictures of him doing various activities. I could tell Naki was completely relaxed and comfortable during his stay. Patti genuinely loves animals and I will definitely be a returning customer. Thank you for everything, Patti.”
“Briana (and her dog loving family!) took great care of our 2 pugs who had never been to a pet sitter before. They are little terrors (young, hyper, still potty training) and she took it in stride and loved on them anyway. Her condo complex is beautiful and her place is very tidy and clean. She was very flexible with our drop-off/pick-up hours coming from out of town. Would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone! <3”
“Nazim was so great!!! He sent so many pictures of my pup and she warmed up to him right away. He was so flexible when my travel plans changed and he gave me updates on how my dog was doing all the time. Thanks Nazim!!!”
“Sarah was amazing! From the beginning, she was very responsive to all of our questions about the booking. Our dog tends to be shy and can sometimes be aggressive with other dogs, but Sarah made it work, and our dog got along with hers right away. She sent us daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dog was very happy during her stay! We will definitely book with Sarah again and highly recommend her as a dog sitter.”
“I booked sort of last minute and wasn't able to make a meet and greet happen (though Abigale kindly offered) and I felt totally comfortable dropping my Bernie off. I got plenty of updates while away and plan to use them again! Bernie was well cared for! And their home is lovely! Thank you!”
“Amazing!!! Kept me informed the entire time I was away. Sent me pics of Naz and updated me on how he was doing. How he was sleeping and eating. Even down to when he would go outside. I’d recommend 1,000%”
“Tyler was fantastic! For our extended vacation, he was perfect. Our girls were well cared for. One had a digestive issue before we left and he cared for diligently. I was given regular updates and sent pictures in which I could see how happy the girls were. I would definitely recommend Tyler to anyone and my husband agrees - we will positively use him again. Thank you Tyler!!”
“Nancy is phenomenal and my baby absolutely loved her. This is the first time I went away and wasn't consistently worried because I knew he was being cared for and loved the same way he would be at home.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their West Hartland 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 Hartland.
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 Hartland 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.
