“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.”
“Our pup had a fantastic stay with Alan & Luis. She was well-taken care of and we got so many wonderful photos of her playing hard with her new friends. We are really happy to have found them and will be booking her with them for future trips. I highly recommend having your pup stay with them!!!”
“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”
“Austin was fantastic about communicating both before and during our dog’s stay. He was great with her medications and making sure she was taken care of so we didn’t have to worry about her. She was one of the family while she was there. She’ll definitely be back”
“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!”
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.
“Oakley had a blast!! We could tell you just take such good care of Oaks like he was one of your own. We could not appreciate it any more, and was the best stay for him! We will be coming back with Oakley 1000%! We were updated with pictures all the time of our boy and could tell he was extremely happy! Thanks so much again, Oakley will be back soon!!”
“Kristin was highly recommended by my niece and she did not disappoint. Of course I was nervous but daily photos and some videos were sent. That reassured me my dog Tess was in good hands and happy. Over a foot of snow fell and all the dogs had a blast. The temperature on some days was frigid but Kristin still got them outside for at least for short periods of time. Indoors she kept Tess mentally active with a find a treat game. Kaia, Kristin’s dog was great at steering Tess in the right direction. Tess learned a lot and Kristin sent several suggestions that would help in her training.”
“Lissette was absolutely wonderful with my two big dogs! This was the second time I've used her for in-home boarding, and once again, she exceeded my expectations. My dogs genuinely seem to enjoy their stay with her, which gives me so much peace of mind when I travel. I really appreciate being able to leave them in a home environment instead of a kennel or boarding facility. They get the daily interaction, attention, and comfort they're used to, and I get to relax knowing they're being treated like part of her family. Lissette is also incredibly flexible with pick-up and drop-off times—she honestly couldn't make the process any easier. Communication is great, and it's clear she truly cares about the dogs in her care. I'm so grateful to have found someone I trust with my babies, and I look forward to continuing to book with her whenever I need overnight care. Highly recommend!”
“Kathryn & Jeremy were great! Their house was cozy and friendly. Our corgi loved playing with their kids and he was definitely tired when he got home. They were great at communication and we felt our dog was safe. Will book with them again!”
“Russ and Janet are great. Sophie was in 7th Heaven with them. Walked and played with and cuddled. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Having just moved to the area, we’re thrilled to now have a go-to sitter for our pooch.”
“Alyssa was fantastic with my dog Emmy! From the moment she greeter her at the door you could tell Alyssa treats all dogs like they are her own, with lots of love and care. Alyssa provided consistent updates while my dog boarded with her for a few days. Her communication was positive and encouraging to know that while I was traveling my dog was safe and happy! Will confidently be booking Alyssa for boarding in the future.”
“I recently had Gail take care of my dog, Dior, for a week while I was on vacation. The bond Gail and her dog Ginger formed with Dior was heartwarming. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog, providing plenty of love and attention. Dior came home happy and well-exercised, which is a testament to the great care they received. Safety was a top priority for me, and I felt completely at ease knowing Gail was watching over my pet. [He/She/They] followed all instructions regarding feeding and I appreciated the regular updates and photos that kept me in the loop. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience with Gail. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“This was the first boarding experience for my 2 year old fur baby and it could not have gone better. Heather and Norman are the BEST! They were very accommodating and commutative. Rita LOVED her time in their home. It truly was her home away from home. I will definitely be using Heather and Norm in the future. Thank you guys for everything!”
“Ifan was a fantastic dog sitter! He was very responsive and took great care of Roro. Roro had a wonderful time with him. I booked at the last minute, and Ifan responded immediately, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Ifan to others and will happily book with him again!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Windsor Locks on Rover is $44.94 per night (as of July 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 July 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.
