“Brianna was wonderful! I could tell she treated my pups like her own and they were comfortable and happy while we were away. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Kristen was awesome, highly recommend! Very accommodating considering that it was a major holiday with a chaotic schedule, excellent communication leading up to and during our dog’s stay with her, and a down-to-earth person that truly loves animals and welcomes them into her home. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Thank you so much for watching and taking a good care of Ozzy while we were away. Maria is great and Ozzy enjoyed his stay with her. We will bring back Ozzy to you on our next vacation.”
“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!!”
“Karina and Teresa were absolutely amazing with Evee! From start to finish, they took such great care of her and made me feel completely at ease. They sent tons of photos and videos, which I really appreciated; it was so clear how happy, comfortable, and well-loved Evee was the entire time. 🥰🥰 Evee came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. You can tell they genuinely love what they do and treat your pet like their own. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters and would 100% trust them with Evee again. Highly recommend!”
“Nicole was amazing! They took such good care of our dog and he’s not super easy ? our vet described him as “scared of life”, while staying with Nicole though he was safe and happy! We are so glad we picked her- cannot recommend her enough for watching your fur babies!”
“Sai is an excellent communicator and took great care of Paisley! Sai kept Paisley's schedule for walking and feeding. Paisley looked happy and well cared for, when I picked him up! Thank you, Sai!”
About: I've owned dogs all my life and have dog sat in some capacity for family and friends for the last 10 years. I love dogs and treat each like my own. I'm reliable, flexible, and ready to work on short notice during summer. I'm willing to stay and house sit if my schedule permits. I love going for walks and hikes with pups and am not afraid to roll around on the floor for some playtime. I understand how important your pets are and will treat them as you would! I am willing to administer medicine if necessary and am flexible to other needs of your pet. Look forward to meeting you furry baby(ies)! I am a full time teacher. During the week I can let animals out early mornings and then am usually out of work by 3. My weekends are usually free. I will abide by house rules for your pet at home. If you use gates or electric collars please let me know. Happy to bring them on walks if needed.
“Catie and her husband were able to take care of my dog when travel plans changed last minute. I was very nervous with a new sitter but they took great care of Barkley. They sent videos and pictures thru out his stay and were very responsive when I reached out to check on how he was doing. I would recommend them and use again!”
“Jayme really helped us out with watching Diesel when we had to go away for a long weekend for a family wedding. I felt very comfortable knowing that Diesel was in good hands and that he had a yard to play around with. Jayme is very kind and sent several pictures of Diesel. Knowing that he was in someone’s loving home and not in a boarding facility put me at ease. I would recommend Jayme without hesitation for anyone who wants their dog to have a home away from home!”
“We left our Bernese Mountain Dog with Kara for a week and a half and had so much peace of mind knowing he was being loved as much as we love him. Kara was great and sent us many pictures and updates throughout our time away. I have to say, our doggie looked like he was smiling in all of the pictures...I was afraid he wouldn't want to come home :) I highly recommend Kara to love your pets in your absence!”
“They are AMAZING!! My little dog Mochi loved them a lot and I can tell he had good time with them. Normally Mochi is very shy with other people. But right away when Mochi sees Nadine family, they are already being friends. They knows dogs well and find out very quick what doggy needs. Friendly, sweet, treat like family. Everyday send me a comment (condition of my dog, what is plan) with good pictures. It makes me feel so much comfortable. Best people ever! I will come back with them. Thank you so much!! ☺️”
“Yahaira did a wonderful job with my dog Finn. I have used big boarding facilities in the past and felt like they were not doing the little things to make Finn happy. In the pictures Yahaira sent you can tell Finn was given a lot of attenrion and was super happy!!”
“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!”
“Carolina and Angel were great to deal with and welcomed Bella into their family for the weekend. Quick responses and provide ample updates during the stay. Highly recommended. Thanks again!”
“Karen was outstanding caring for our dude while we were gone. She sent pictures daily and treated him like her own. She helped us feel completely comfortable and we are excited to utilize her in the future. We can’t be more thankful for finding her so close to us!”
“Erika is always so wonderful with our dog. We’ve used her a number of times for boarding including some longer stays and our pup absolutely loves to be there. We’ll absolutely continue to book!”
“Apologies on the late review but I just had to write about Cheyanne. She was BEYOND WONDERFUL for our pup during our wedding. She was so kind and thoughtful in all the messages we exchanged and really was great for our pup. Her yard was super clean and I felt comfortable leaving our little one with her and her two sweet girls. We got married the middle of September in New Haven. We needed someone to watch our pup but also bring him to the venue for photos on of the afternoons. She did just that and was so great with him during our photos at the venue. She even included photos of him she took herself after she brought him home. It was a great experience and we will be using her again if we need someone in CT. Our Leo loved her and almost didn’t want to go back home with us when we left! He came home tired and happy. Thank you Cheyanne for all you do and we wish you and your boyfriend the best of luck.”
“La mejor cuidadora que he conocido extremadamente comunicativa, cariñosa con nuestro perrito 🐶 siempre pendiente en todo momento y manteniendo al tanto de cada cosa con nuestro perrito la recomiendo al 100% muchas gracias definitivamente volvería a dejar a nuestro tequila con ella”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hamden
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 Pet Boarding in Hamden on Rover is $49.95 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,160 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Hamden. About 92% of Hamden sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
