“Our dog can be a little skittish with new people, but she warmed right up to Alan and Luis! On her first day, they sent us great pictures of her running and playing. It was clear that she was already settled in and having so much fun. We have to plan another trip soon, so our pup can have another vacation with Alan and Luis!”
“This was the perfect option for us! We received pictures and updates. Our girl was well taken care of and came home tired and happy! So grateful for the easy communication and quick responses. Also, your flexibility was clutch! We will be back!!”
“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.”
“Brian was awesome. Great communication, easy going, and super flexible. Clementine stayed with him for 2 nights while I was away on a work trip. I even had to reschedule pick up and Brian was very understanding and easy to work with. I will definitely be asking of his help in the future when I'm out of town!”
“Elizette provided the best care for Winston! He had an amazing time with her 2 dogs running around in the enclosed yard. She did a great job with his feeding and going out schedule. Thank you!!”
“Nancy is a dream! She took perfect care of my little guy and even gave him a special birthday treat. So many walks, lots of attention, and lots of pictures sent my way. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“MJ was fantastic with my baby! She was a referral from a close friend so I felt really at ease dropping remi off for a long weekend. She took time to help remi warm up to a new environment (separation anxiety), sent lots of pics and stayed in communication every day. I picked up a happy and tired pup! We’re definitely booking again, see you soon!! 💝🐾🦴”

About: Hello. My name is Elaineh and I am young, enthusiastic dog lover. I have a flexible schedule, love to go on walks, and my own transportation. I promise to love your pet as my own when they are with me! I currently work part-time but my schedule is very flexible and adaptable to your needs. When I am not at work, I spent most of time at home where I spend my time studying. I have a big yard. It is unfenced but provides a large space for the dogs to run, walk around, and/or use the potty. I also have a car, so I can drive to different parks/walking trials. At home, I have lots of toys and can make homemade food if requested. If the pup simply needs love and attention, I am happy to provide that too!
“Triba is the best! Maggie absolutely loves Triba and I feel so comfortable leaving Maggie with her. She does such a great job of caring for Maggie and dealing with all of her quirks and challenges.”
“Greg made us feel so comfortable right away with leaving our 152 lb. Great Dane with him for 5 days! His experience with dogs is so transparent and that was the biggest comfort of all. Greg sent video and pictures while we were away, which always helps making us feel that Moose felt right at home!! Greg will definitely be our caretaker for Moose going forward. Such a great experience. Moose got to spend his days playing with other dogs, running around outside and of course being spoiled.”
“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.”

About: I've had a connection with dogs since my early childhood. Even as a young child I was the first to recognize when the family pets were "off" and in need of special care. I trained my GSD in a Schutzhund club and have a love for all dogs. My Chihuahua has taught me a different level of caring for a dog, from becoming a dog tooth brusher to chief hawk lookout on potty breaks. My day job is a half mile from home. I work 8-12, come home for an hour lunch and return to work from 1-4. I also have an adult daughter in my home who works evenings and is usually home during day time hours. I have a small fenced area outside my kitchen door. I do not let any small dog outside without a human because I am conscious of the danger hawks pose to small dogs. I have a very large, low living room window that dogs really enjoy because they can watch the world outside unfettered. There is a bed and an ottoman by the window for comfortable viewing purposes. Routines are adhered to. Guests are treated like family, welcome to snuggle on the couch or stretch out on my bed.
“This was my initial use via rover.com for any services for Chance. I was 3 thousand miles away and did not have a single worry moment. Patrick and Susan were awesome with my fur bag boy, lol. The pics showed how happy he was, I think I need to plan more getaways knowing I have a wonderful place for Chance to stay-cation!”
“Fantastic sitter who provided lots of love and care for my dog, Winston. She sent me plenty of photos and gave me updates throughout his stay. When I came to pick my dog up he was actually sad to leave! Will be looking to book again on my next trip, thanks again Briana!”

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 Windsor Locks 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 Windsor Locks 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 Windsor Locks.
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 Windsor Locks. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 Windsor Locks 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.
