“We are thrilled to have our pup stay with Alan & Luis. They have been great with her and she's so happy to be there. Leaving her is stressful for us and it's so nice to feel relieved that she's somewhere she's happy! Thank you!”
“Ginger had a wonderful experience when we went on vacation last week and left her with Maria and her family. They took very good care of her and I felt very comfortable leaving her with them. I hope to ask them again in the future to dog sit for us. ”
“Yvette and her husband clearly fell in love with dogs and treated them as precious children. The photos sent showed two content and well-cared for dogs. I will definitely leave “the girls” with Yvette again.”
“MJ was terrific with my 5 month old bordoodle puppy. She kept me updated about how he was doing during the week I was traveling, and sent me lots of pictures. I was extremely comfortable that MJ, a responsible dog owner herself, was taking great care of Nacho and treating him as one of her own. He got plenty of play time and love and snuggles. She also made sure to carefully introduce him to her three dogs- I think my puppy had a real vacation at her home! I was skittish leaving Nacho anywhere with other dogs due to a bad experience he recently had at a doggie day care, but MJ quickly put me at ease and clearly treated him wonderfully. Nacho has some new friends now! I would HIGHLY recommend MJ to anyone.”
“Ifan was a great sitter for our big boy Dom. He was very good with communication both before and during the sit. He sent pictures and updates about how Dom was doing and all pertinent information. He was very accommodating with our flexible schedule and wr truly appreciated that. We would definitely utilize his services again and we would recommend him for anyone looking for a top notch sitter.”
“Danielle and her husband were absolutely amazing while watching our little guy (Jaxson) for a quick getaway this week. We were given constant updates/pictures, and he clearly made himself right at home and was as comfortable as can be. Communication was prompt from the beginning and we were truly at ease while we were away that he was receiving more than adequate care. Jax became quick friends with their pets, and was moping around when we got home because he clearly misses them! Could not recommend enough!”
“Anita and her family cared for my super timid dog Poncho for a week while we were out of town. Poncho had never been left anywhere before. He decided to go on a hunger strike and not eat/drink much. I had provided dry food and to try and get him to eat Anita went out and got wet food for him as well as gave him water with a syringe to make sure he was not dehydrated. I’m confident boarding him in a facility with a ton of dogs would have stressed him out more. Anita did a great job trying to make my nervous, quirky dog as comfortable as possible. Thankful that she and her family provided such good care to Poncho!”
“Katie took exceptional care of our golden retriever. She gave updates on how he was doing throughout the stay and asked great questions about how she could make him feel right at home. Excellent communication but most importantly a great family that treated our dog like their own. 5 stars!! Highly recommend!!”
“From the meet and greet we had I knew she would take great care of Ethan while I was away. She was very responsive and so incredibly friendly and seemed to understand his body language. She is amazing and I am definitely going to book with her again!”
“So grateful to drop off our girl, Sophie for the first time. Allison was so friendly and reassuring. Sophie had a great time and it's wonderful to have a spot to take her when we are in town to see our folks. Great fenced in yard was a bonus!!”
“Haoran was absolutely amazing! She took care of my pup for five days and was incredibly attentive and patient the whole time. I really appreciated how she took the time to observe and learn about my dog’s personality to help her feel more comfortable. Communication was excellent throughout, and my very active dog got tons of exercise — she even went on a two-hour hike that she absolutely loved! When my pup ran out of food, Haoran kindly provided her own without hesitation. My dog can be pretty anxious, but Haoran and her husband showed such patience and genuine care. I’m so grateful for her passion for animals and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“All I know is my dogs are pumped when we pull up to the house and excited to meet Tyler. When I pick them up, they’re relaxed and smell good. Tyler is always kind and accommodating. Can’t really ask for more… I highly recommend him.”
“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!”
“Sheet is so attentive to my dog. I receive frequent updates. I appreciate that I can trust her with such an important part of my life while I have to leave town. Thank you Sherry!”
“Heather and Greg were great with Walter even though he was a bit shy-er than I anticipated at drop off time. They were prompt with updates and communication. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Walter stay with them again!”
“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.”

Sabrina was absolutely wonderful—we can’t recommend her highly enough. She took incredible care of our pups, including our elderly dog who required extra attention (and some cleanup!), and handled everything with patience and kindness. She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We’re so grateful to Sabrina and her family for taking such loving care of Ollie and Remy!
Vanessa was amazing with our little guy — she was so communicative throughout the whole stay, sending lots of photos and videos. She also has three dogs that were all great with our super high energy puppy. She was has so much love for animals and that totally came through with her care for our puppy!

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.
95% of sitters in West Simsbury can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Simsbury home-away-from-home, 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 Simsbury.
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 Simsbury 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 , 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 .
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.
