“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Trixie! It’s greatly appreciated. While we hate leaving her, knowing someone else cares for her as much as we do makes it a little easier.”
“They took very good care of my sometimes difficult to handle gigantic Anatolian Shepherd Tucker. He made new friends while he was there and almost didn't want to go with me when I came to pick him up! I was happy they took such good care of him and would definitely recommend Jessica”
“I can't say enough good things about our experience! Christle watched our dog for the last 10 days and took such amazing care of him. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and treated him like her own! She kept us updated every day with photos and updates on how he was doing. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands the entire time. He was so happy there he didn't even want to come home! I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog. Definitely our new dog sitter!”
“We appreciated Amira so much for taking care of our two rabble-rousers. She provided a comforting presence and I could see they felt completely at home, which isn’t an easy task. In addition, we reached out midway through their stay and she responded immediately- this gave us peace of mind as well. Thank you!”
“They were very attentive to our dog. Professional sitters. I received Updates and pictures. Appreciated the communication. Very experienced with different dogs And take pride in making an inviting environment.”
“I am so grateful and appreciative of Sandra‘s loving care of Lulu while I was gone for 13 days. Lulu has a seizure disorder and Sandra was amazing with giving her medication and keeping me updated every day with her status and sending pictures of how well loved and cared for she was. Sandra and her husband John invited Lulu into their home and treated her as though she was theirs!”
“Elizabeth watched my two dogs for the first time for two nights. My two seven year old boys are higher energy requiring more attention than many other dogs. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She is incredibly sweet, attentive, and deeply responsible. Both my dog felt right at home from early on and absolutely enjoyed the walks and playtime. She sent me regular updates with pictures allowing total peace of mind. Perhaps more importantly, my two knuckleheads found a new best friend and I found a sitter that will definitely be used again for future needs.”
“Rebecca was very professional, reliable, and responsive. I got multiple pictures and video updates each day during my pups stay which helped me feel at ease. He was always around other pups and her family, unlike most kennel where they’re left alone all night. Perfect for pups with separation anxiety! You just want to know your dog is being well taken care of and happy when you’re away, and that is just how our experience was with Rebecca. Would definitely recommend, so glad we found her!!”
“Leah was great with our Nelli! She sent pictures and kept us up to date on how things were going. Nelli didn't even hesitate when we dropped her off, which to us meant she knew she was in good hands. I will definitely be asking Leah to watch Nelli again.”

“Cailey took care of my senior cat for an extended time and took great care of her. Cailey kept me updated on how my cat was doing, including for a period of time where my cat wasn’t eating as much. My cat will do this on occasion so I wasn’t concerned, and appreciated Cailey noticing and checking in with me about that. I would absolutely work with Cailey again, thank you!”
“Madison was amazing with my pup! She kept in contact with me sending pictures and letting me know how Oakley was doing! Very very happy with my first experience with Rover and Madison!! ❤️”

About: 🏳️🌈 I've lived with and taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. Starting off in apartments where they needed to be walked multiple times a day. I've had my own dogs for the past 16 years. From puppies to seniors on daily medications, I've taken care of it all with my own doggos. We recently lost our doggy siblings, Tegan and Sara in May and July 2022 at 15.5 years old. We currently have a 4 year old rescue named Oswald. I live on 3/4 of an acre with a 5' chain link fence surrounding the back yard. I also work from home, so I'm always here. With your permission, I may even take your pups on adventures while in my care! I do require a meet and greet to make sure our pups do well together and so you can see the house and yard your doggo will be staying at. It is what I would want for my own dog, so I will always provide it for you. I will also send a ton of pictures while your baby is in my care! 🏳️🌈 I work from home 9-5:30 M-F. Your baby will get to go out whenever needed in my fenced yard and I will give them love in small breaks during my own work day. They will not spend their days in a crate as I am here to keep an eye on them. I have a fenced yard. I do have a very dog and person friendly pup of my own who will be happy to play with your pup, too, as his favorite place is his doggy daycare (he's well socialized). We have few stairs that need to be climbed, 1-3 off our deck (we have a few entrances on the deck) that can be adjusted by closing deck doors as needed for seniors.
“Patty took such good care of Sadie during Sadie's time with her. Followed Sadie's routine very well, communicated with us many times and I would highly recommend her to anyone else who is considering boarding their dog in the future. This is the beginning of a wonderful dog sitting relationship. (and a shout out to her son, Peter, for bonding with Sadie!) Thanks so such Patty.”
“We boarded our dog, Guinness, with Heather and Norman for two days, and they were absolutely wonderful! Heather and Norman were sweet and took excellent care of Guinness. They took him for walks and even sent us photos. It was clear that Guinness and their dog, Zeus, got along so well and had a great time playing together. Now that he's home, Guinness seems sad and misses Zeus. We will definitely use Heather and Norman's services again. Highly recommended!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for about 6 years and have encountered all types, from the couch potatoes to the ones who want to play nonstop! I am home full time so I am available any day and any time for drop off and pick up. Being home full time also means I will be available for your pet at anytime they need me throughout there stay at my home. I have a sturdy 100 ft dog runner that has held very large dogs. However,if your dog does better on a regular leash just let me know and I can leash for bathroom breaks instead. While at my home your pet is my only priority and I am happy to suit any needs they have.

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.
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.
96% of sitters in Willington 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 Willington 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 Willington.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Willington. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Willington 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
