“Alan and Luis take such great care of our Hiro. He now knows their house and gets so excited in the car when we pull up to the driveway he can barely contain himself. He does still act like a lab puppy, and tends to try to eat everything, but they have always been very patient and understanding with him. We trust them completely to take great care of our boy when we are out of town.”
“Morgan was super helpful when I needed a sitter on my road trip! She was so good with Molly and helped out extra since Molly wasn’t feeling the best on my trip and eating irregularly”
“I highly recommend Allison. She sends photos and updates and confirms arrival and departure times . Minnie has special diet needs and she follows the info I provide. Her home is easy to find and Minnie seems to enjoy exploring her fenced in yard. She is very sweet with Minnie so she loves to cuddle right into her when I drop her off.”
“I felt very confident my dog would be very well taken care of. I’ve left him with Liz for long periods multiple times, and each time I felt at ease. It’s clear she truly cares and will treat the pets she cares for as her own.”
“Steve and Debbie always welcome Max into their home with open arms. Max is surrounded by love, care and lots of attention. I highly recommend Steve and Debbie as sitters who are professional, knowledgeable and reliable. They are kind, considerate and we are completely at peace when Max is in their care. Max loves to be on a vacay at Steve and Debbie’s home. We are so happy to have Steve and Debbie as our go to sitters for Max.”
“Ifan was wonderful and very responsive. He sent a picture each day of our dogs and it was reassuring to see that they were happy and healthy! He learned their personalities very quickly and the dogs seem like they had a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend and will be a return customer!”
“So sweet! She sent me pictures of them every other day to keep me posted on how they were doing. She was fast at responding and welcomed my dogs into her home as if they were a part of her family too! When I went to pick them up they were happy and healthy! I will be using Lisette again to watch my pups!”
“Nazim is an AMAZING doggy daycare provider. He has a large and fenced in yard for dogs to run around and play. My dog, Koby, loves to run around and play with other dogs. It's his favorite thing to do (besides eat)! He was able to get out all the energy he needed out and found a spot (in the yard) to chill out once he was done. Nazim sent a lot of pictures and video clips of Koby while in his care. I will definitely book another stay with Nazim!”
“Sarah was amazing! From the beginning, she was very responsive to all of our questions about the booking. Our dog tends to be shy and can sometimes be aggressive with other dogs, but Sarah made it work, and our dog got along with hers right away. She sent us daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dog was very happy during her stay! We will definitely book with Sarah again and highly recommend her as a dog sitter.”
“Katie did an outstanding job with Reese. She definitely went above and beyond in her care for my dog. She sent pictures and updates to keep me at ease. I would use Katie again in the future.”
“Harvey had another amazing stay with Kristin! He had the time of his life going on hikes, learning to swim, and playing with Kaia and the other dogs under Kristin’s care during his time there. Kristin was in constant communication with us, sending us updates and pictures daily. We can’t thank Kristin and Mark enough for making Harvey feel like part of the family while we were away for 8 nights.”
“Ales and Lindsey were amazingly great and helpful. They sent photos each day of all the activities: play, walks, sleep, and lounging. We felt great about leaving our 2 Goldens with Alex. We would absolutely recommend them. Thank you!!!”
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.
“She is an amazing sitter and Prince had an amazing stay! From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was in great hands. The sitter was attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. I received updates and could see that Prince was happy, relaxed, and getting lots of attention. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was being looked after by someone so reliable and kind. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Prince! Her back yard is extremely spacious with plenty of space for dogs to play and burn some energy as well! I would 1000/10 recommend Christle!”
“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.”
“Phoebe's recent first long-term stay with Russ and Janet went very well. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that she was well cared for receiving her walks, cuddling, and belly rubs and watching the outside world from her "cat perch" in the front windowsill. They sent updates and immediately contacted us one day when she was not feeling well, which quickly resolved. She enjoys being with them and they enjoy having her! Very happy with the care they have provided. Their 1-dog at a time policy is reassuring that our dog will happily hang out in a quiet home environment, as she is used to at home.”
“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!”
“Cannot thank them enough. It was my first time using Rover and on a short notice request- no problem. I got pictures of Alfie playing and cuddling throughout his stay which set me at ease. He also came back smelling nicer and was freshly brushed, he was so happy! I 100% recommend Heather and Norman”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Windsor Locks on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 735 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Windsor Locks. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
98% of Windsor Locks sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Windsor Locks landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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.
