About: I have worked at a highly notable dog daycare/overnight boarding facility for three years in the past and continue to search for work with dogs and cats as I have a passion for caring for animals. I love all animals and have been responsible for walking, feeding and bathing my friends, and family members dogs. I am available on Weekdays and most Weekends. Check my schedule for my up to date availability. I have incorporated time into my schedule to meet you and your pets needs. I am a current law student! I have had cats and dogs my whole life! I currently have a 2 year old Tuxedo cat named Harley who is friendly and loves all animals.
“Bianka was wonderful with my dog Howie. She was responsive and provided frequent updates while he was in her care! I’d absolutely recommend Bianka to anyone in need of a dog sitter. :)”
“Claudia and Steven are a lovely couple and they were amazing with our dog Ellie. They communicated with us multiple times daily with updates and photos. Thanks to them we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Ellie was well cared for. Will definitely have Claudia and Steven look after Ellie on our next vacation. You will not find better sitters for your pet!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Kristen who watched out dog for 10 days. He got lots of love and went for walks and hikes. We appreciated all of the photos and updates! We know he will look forward to returning to his home away from home!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our pup. Maria sent tons of photos and kept us updated throughout the stay. We had our original booking cancel within 24 hours and Maria did not hesitate to step in and care for our pup. We will absolutely be using Maria again.”
“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!”
About: I have had multiple dogs in my lifetime from puppyhood to their senior years, so I am familiar with care needed at every stage, including medication, diapers, or urinary wraps. Aside from my own pets, I have boarded and pet-sat many dogs with varying personalities, and I pride myself on being able to meet each one where they’re at. I work a flexible job that offers work-from-home hours, so I can shift my schedule to give your dog the care and attention it deserves! I have a backyard that is about 85% fenced, and live near several parks and hiking trails if your dog prefers an active lifestyle. I can also accommodate low-energy dogs who prefer to lay inside all day! I have a medium-sized crate in my home, but don’t mind dogs who prefer to stay out or join me on the furniture. I have my own dog, but he will not be with me for the month of July, so your dog can enjoy plenty of toys while being the center of attention :)
“Jayme was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and always responded quickly to our messages. We felt so at ease knowing Finnegan was in such good hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and that he had a great time with her dogs. We highly recommend Jayme to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
About: Hi, I’m Lyanny! I have over 10 years of professional pet care experience with the privilege of caring for pets of all kinds. I am the Manager of Mew Haven Cat Cafe and directly work alongside our partner rescue’s farm with adoptable dogs, cats even rabbits! I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routines, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I adapt my care to what makes them happiest and love to send photos and videos so you don’t miss your fur baby too much!

I do have gates that can block off the upper and lower level and adjust my space as needed. I adhere to make your pets stay as comfortable as possible
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!”
“Karina & Teresa were amazing sitters for my dog. They are kind, attentive, and clearly love what they do. They treated my dog very well and made sure he was comfortable . They also sent lots of photos and videos throughout the stay, which really gave me peace of mind! I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog sitters.”
“Vanessa exceeded all expectations. I'm very nervous leaving my dog with anyone because she's very old and blind so requires a delicate touch- Vanessa provided that and more. Thank you so much Vanessa for taking such good care of my baby.”
“Sai was fantastic with watching Max while we were away for the holiday weekend! There was a ton of updates with photos of how he was doing, and Sai was awesome at communicating based on my schedule while I was away. Would highly recommend!”
“My experience was amazing, my family and I went away for a week and Erika kept us informed with multiple messages and pictures every morning and evening. My pup looked like he was very happy in every single picture(and there were a LOT of really great pics)!”
“Zuleima did a great job of taking care of my dog for a weekend trip. She sent me lots of photos and her children were extremely kind to my dog which I appreciate. She also responded super fast to my request, so I highly recommend!”

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.
