“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.”
“Angela and Tommy were fantastic with our fur baby. They sent pictures and were responsive and best of all our dog is happy. We felt very at ease. Would use them 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.”
“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”
“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!”
“I seriously can’t say enough good things about Ifan! I have used him countless times!! He’s amazing with Drew and just gets him and all of his little quirks. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing Drew is with someone who knows exactly how to handle him and makes sure he’s having the best time. Drew always comes home absolutely exhausted (which is a huge plus 😂) and wearing the cutest bandanas around his neck. It’s the little things! I’m so happy I found someone I can trust with Drew, and I couldn’t recommend him more!”
“Lynsey did a great job caring for my senior pet! I appreciate the fact that she picked my pet up and dropped him off in the morning! Definitely a treat for us. My dog was in good hands!”
“Laura was great with our pups! She accommodated our pick up and drop off times and sent lots pic pictures and videos. Her house is very nice and she has a big backyard on a lake. My dogs were so happy and at home with her.”
“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!”
“I have a high energy 3 month old Chihuahua Daschund mix! Enrique was kind and patient in helping me through a 1st time experience! He provided a clean and tidy room! He walked and handled meal time smoothly! He would also send me a photo daily! I highly recommend and would use his service again! Job well done! Thanks to Enrique, I appreciate you! 😘”
About: Hi, I’m Laina, and I’ve been caring for animals for over 18 years! I am insured! I’ve loved dogs my whole life—I've owned them since I was 10—and I now share my home with two wonderful pups of my own. Caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy… it’s my full-time job and my passion. I attended veterinary technician school, so I have a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety. I’m comfortable with administering medications, following special care instructions, and giving extra attention to pets with unique needs. I work with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. Whether your dog needs long walks, cuddles, structure, or a calm presence, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your pet will be treated like family, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos, messages, and anything you need for peace of mind. 💛 I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend This is my full time job so your pet gets my full attention and time. I have my own transportation and will only take one family at a time on so my day is spent with just your pet. I am happy to spend an hour with your pet per drop in. Will make sure they go potty, have water and anything else they might need. If it’s pet sitting your dog is my whole day! Play, walks and tons of cuddles. I’ll make sure you get pictures and updates daily or as often as you want them!
“Triba was wonderful and so professional to work with! We really appreciate how she handled our dog with separation anxiety - she made him (and us) feel comfortable with a day-long boarding.”
“Thank you so much for your patience with Flash and making him feel comfortable in your home. I really appreciated that you were able to watch him while I was out of town.”
“Kevin was amazing in every aspect of watching Nora. We got tons of pictures and incredible levels of communication. We plan to book with him again and could not be happier.”
“We left our sweet little king charles cavalier spaniel (Daisy) with Kaylyn for two weeks while we were away. Kaylyn is just wonderful! Took great care of Daisy and communicated with us every day. Gave us lots of peace of mind! This is the second time we have used Kaylyn. We highly recommend her!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Winchester Center
We highly recommend Tina & Jordan who are really gifted “dog people.” They have a wonderful, natural warmth but they also very informed and pragmatic instincts about caring for dogs. This was the first overnight that our dog spent away from us since we adopted him. It’s hard to imagine he could have felt any safer or happier than at Tina and Jordan’s home. He was thrilled to see them again (after a helpful meet and greet a few weeks earlier). And I’m sure he’ll be excited to visit them again in the future.
We were so lucky we were able to find Kristina to take care of our dog for a few days! Kristina created the perfect little vacation home for him and it was clear from the start he was in great hands. She engaged with us throughout the stay sharing lots of pictures and videos, and asked for consistent feedback on the care she was giving. We would 100% return!

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 Center 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 Center 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 Center.
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 Center. On Rover:
- 90% 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 Center 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.
