“We were very nervous to leave our Zeus with someone we haven’t met before but Cassandra made us feel so at ease in her beautiful home. Zeus did so great and it was great that Cassandra sent updates and picture and video of our boy. Highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience with Luci’s daycare service. From the start, communication was easy and reassuring. She shared photos and videos throughout the day, which made us feel completely at ease. Dante looked very comfortable and happy, almost like he was at home. It’s not always easy to find someone you can fully trust with your dog, but this was definitely one of those cases. We’re really glad we found her and will absolutely book again when needed. Highly recommended.”
“Mariana was wonderful. Our dog can be a little nervous in general but she was very comfortable, playful, and tired when we picked her up. Mariana was incredibly responsive and sent picture updates throughout the day. I felt very comfortable leaving our dog at her house and will definitely do so in the future.”
“Stephanie was great at keeping me updated and sending plenty of pictures while she watched my dog. He is active and loves walks, and she kept him busy! I felt so comfortable having him stay with her.”
“It was my first time leaving the babies with someone. I was reassured everything would be okay. Bruce always updated me on everything and made sure to send lots of photos too. My dogs were taken care of well and loved. I felt at ease leaving them for the weekend.”
“Davon was amazing. I outreached very impromptu and he was available for a meet and greet with Arya. ( which went well. We reviewed the basics of her care and he made sure to get a full understanding of what is needed to make Aryas stay as comfortable as possible) drop off was nice. He has spacious living accommodations. What stood out is his willingness to work with Arya being that she is a Bully. There are a many false conceptions about this breed. With his family background working with bully’s and pitbull, and his love for animals in general, I had no concerns that Arya was in good care. During her overnight visit, he provided checks up and sent pictures for reassurance. He also introduced Arya to family and friends ( which I love ) being that she is not around other dogs or people, helping her socialize. Picking Arya up was easy. All items returned and she was happy ! I previously boarded her , and when picking her up she was distant, had scratches and limped !!! All in all, 5 stars for Devon. I recommend and will use him again. 🐾💕”
About: I've always had a deep love for animals, I've cared for dogs of all breeds and ages, giving them attention and afection, always making sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy! I work from home part-time, so this easily allows me to look after and keep an eye on your pets, as well as attend to all their needs. In my home🐾 i have a very friendly Frenchie and he would love to having a friend to play, i provide a warm and safe environment where your dog can feel happy! I stick to their usual routine, feeding times, walks, playtime and rest. Pets have acces to cozzy sleeping spots, and supervised outdoor time. I always can send you photos and updates so you can feel connected while you're away.
“Mikayla and Justin were incredible! They took such great care of my GSP Goose and sent very detailed and organized updates on how he was doing and made sure to get him an ample amount of exercise everyday. He looked so happy! Also they were extremely understanding and flexible when I had to pick him up a little late due to my return flight getting delayed. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Monique was wonderful with our puppy, yet again! She sent regular updates and Luna looked so happy in every single one! It was such a relief to know she was so well cared-for while we were away.”
“Andrea was super nice and managed to accomodate our last-minute Christmas booking. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, and our dogs looked quite happy and relaxed. Her house has a fenced-in area that they loved to play in. Most impressive of all, though, was that Andrea let the dogs into her bedroom (they are used to sleeping next to us), on Christmas no less. Our dogs seemed in great shape when we picked them up after their 3 day stay. She seems to be a very caring and careful dog sitter. We would have no hesitation in our leaving our dogs with her again. Thanks!”
“Elizabeth is awesome! She kept me updated the whole week. Even went above and beyond to make sure my dog was eating everyday. Her place is nice and spacious for play time - I’m sure my dog enjoyed his time there ? highly recommend!”
“My mom's puppy was in her arms looking very happy! We received updates which was wonderful She was very accommodating and we hope she's available again because it was our puppy's first time away and Anne made this experience easy”
“Raeven and her partner took great care of my 2 Tibetan spaniel girls for 9 days. One of them was a 6 months old puppy. Both came home relaxed and their normal self and not stressed. I would definately use Raeven again to board my babies.”
“Christopher was very accommodating and flexible. He went out of his way to pick up Cameo at a more ideal timing prior to my departure for my work trip. He sent daily updates and pictures of Cameo playing and answered any questions that I had. Cameo got lots of play time and came home happy and exhausted :)”
“Anthony was such a great sitter for Sadie and Darla! Anthony was able to explain Sadie’s behaviors and made me feel super comfortable about leaving her. Anthony is also a vet tech so he was able to help with my dog’s special needs. The pups come back exhausted from playing so much.”
“My husband and I had peace of mind knowing our dogs were in Mark’s care. It was their first time staying with someone else, but they adjusted just fine! When we picked them up I could tell they were well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Mark & his family.”
“Very attentive & compassionate towards my Bella! I appreciated the pictures while I was away, leaving her overnight, the first time. we came back early, so hopefully they gave her more free time to enjoy. I could tell she genuinely enjoyed my dog!!”
“Brianna is fantastic - not only did she save me when Riot’s usual sitters dropped out just 10 days before a business trip, she also took time to meet with me and reassure me, cared like a pro for Riot’s ears when of course she got an ear infection and a hematoma 3 days before the trip, sent so many cute pics and vids of Riot, put up with her fire alarm barks, and just generally cared for my annoying little baby so well. Brianna is a fabulous human being. Thank you so much!”

Luci & her husband did a great job taking care of our dog recently for a couple of days. They have a fenced backyard - super for our dog to safely run & play with her dogs. When I returned to pick her up, the hosts provided me with a sweet thank you/remember them before leaving - a wonderul bag with colorful graphics of dogs, as well as a poop bag clipped to our dog's leash. They were lovely.
Brianna and her girlfriend are the best! She was incredibly communicative, responsive, and took amazing care of my boys. While she was watching Simba, it happened to be his birthday, and she went above and beyond by getting him a gift, celebrating him, and making sure he was spoiled with treats all day. She was also great about sending pictures and updates, which I absolutely loved. The dogs adjusted right away and truly made themselves at home - literally. Simba took over the couch, and Wes claimed her dog's bed as his own. I would recommend Brianna 1,000 times over and will definitely be booking with her again!
Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.
It was Roo’s first time away from us and I was super worried about leaving her when I went out of town, however Tharshana Eased, those worries right away! I was sent pictures of Roo several times a day and I was contacted right away with questions and every time that I reach out I got a prompt response by day one I had already felt comfortable that my fur baby was in good hands. I will be for sure. Sending Roo back whenever I need to go out of town. I cannot recommend him enough!!! Roo had such a fun time with Tharshana and his fur baby they took walks went to the dog park played a lot and I got to see all of it! So awesome!!! Thank you so much and Roo thanks you too!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hamden on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,115 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hamden. 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.
96% of Hamden 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 Hamden 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 Hamden 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 Hamden.
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 Hamden 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.
