“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. :)”
“Addie had a grand time with John we can tell by how happy and calm she was when we picked her up. Also I had mixed up the pickup day and John accommodated us no problem. What a life saver!!!!”
“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 .”
“We had a great experience with Kate! Our dog, Sampson, stayed in her home and was very well cared for. Communication was easy and consistent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. Sampson is pretty easygoing, but it was clear he was treated with attention and kindness. We will definitely book with them again.”
“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 grateful for Philippe! He watched our dogs for an extended amount of time and we couldn’t be happier with the service we received and neither could our dogs. Our Goldendoodle was very anxious but due to Philippe dog handling he’s come back much more relaxed and easier to handle. We will continue to use Philippe as long as he’s available snd we highly recommend him to anyone and everyone who wants peace of mind that their dogs will be taken care of with love and care!”
“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!”
“Anna was the best sitter for our Doberman/German Shepard mix, Onyx! She watched Onyx for 4 days while we were out of town and did an amazing job at giving updates and sending pictures. Would definitely use her services again and gladly recommend to anyone looking in the future”
“Lynsey was incredibly accommodating and made sure that Zora was coming into a friendly environment. Her pup Stan got along great with mine, and she had an ample, secure space that the pups could run around in.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Carmela was super nice with my elder dog. My chihuahua suffered violence from a teenager and now his behavior is not the best. Carmela was so comprehensive and knew how to manage him to keep him feel safe in her home. I am so thankful that she received my baby in her home for the time I had to travel.”
“Franny and her husband were absolutely wonderful!! They took extra great care of our pup! I highly recommend. It was soo convenient being right down the road from camp Pontiac, where we attended a wedding.”
“Peter was such a wonderful sitter. His updates were timely and detailed and I felt confident that Nutmeg was cared for, happy, and healthy during her stay. I will definitely ask Peter to sit again if I’m ever in the area again.”
About: l've always loved animals and have several years of experience caring for dogs, including my own French Bulldog. I've cared for dogs of different breeds, ages, and personalities, so I understand that every pet has unique needs. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs a little extra patience, l'Il make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Friends, family, and people I know trust me with their dogs because I care for every pet the same way I'd want someone to care for my own, with kindness, patience, and lots of love. I'Il always follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you're away ❤️ I’m a full-time college student, and most of my classes are online, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I’ll make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with great walking areas. Dogs receive regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day.
“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!”
“Maggie was great, she was super flexible and understanding! I’ve never left my dog with anyone before but I felt so at ease with Maggie’s updates and the friendliness of both her & her dog Moose with my boy Cody! Definitely recommend and will book with her again if needed in the future.”
“Georgiana took great care of our dog Max! She sent us daily updates with pictures and we could tell he was super happy which gave us so much peace of mind while out of town. I would definitely book with Georgiana again!”
“Christine was the best! Our dogs felt comfortable and excited to hang out with her right away, and it’s clear that she loves all animals and that they love her in return. She sent many adorable photos and updates, which we appreciated, and even led our dogs in an amazing art project. We picked them up a few hours ago and they are both still sleeping off their weekend of fun. Definitely recommend!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
95% of sitters in Winchester 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 Winchester 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 Winchester.
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 Winchester. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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 Winchester 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.
