“Britanny made sure my dog Riley got LOTS of love and attention. She sent daily updates with pictures that showed what a good time Riley was having. I definitely recommend her!”
“this was our first time using any kind of boarding for our 8-month old puppy, so we were very careful in choosing Monique, who had only 5-star reviews and multiple folks who re-booked. We are so happy with the care she gave Jax. She sent daily pictures and/or videos, and we could see he was having a great time. The proof was when we picked him up, he went and gave her a big hug goodbye. We are already booking our 2nd stay with her. She is very loving with them and takes great care, and is obviously a dog lover. Her dog Luppie is such a sweetheart, and he and Jax played very well together. It gave us total comfort leaving Jax with her.”
“I can’t recommend Maria enough! She provided exceptional and extremely compassionate care for our dog, Pluto, who boarded with Maria and her family for almost 3 weeks. I was very anxious about leaving Pluto with a stranger because he has some complicated health issues. However, before Pluto boarded with Maria and her family, she came to our place to meet us and discuss Pluto’s needs. She reassured us that she knew how to deal with seizures and could administer Pluto’s pills. Maria was great about reaching out when Pluto was experiencing stomach problems and was very responsive whenever I reached out for updates. She regularly sent us photos of Pluto enjoying his time with other dogs. The fact that Maria also has her own dogs and boards other dogs was a huge plus since Pluto is always with our family at home or at doggy daycare, so he hates being alone. In addition to being highly experienced in pet care, Maria is also extremely compassionate. I always felt that Pluto was in the best hands possible. Maria made a very difficult situation for my family easier since we knew he was getting the best care possible. Thank you so much, Maria! We will definitely be requesting your help again in the future and recommending you to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Michal was amazing with George. I can’t stress how genuine her love for dogs are and you can tell she really cares about the pup’s well-being and comfort. Not only was she great with George but she was extremely accommodating and communicative with us. We received daily updates with pics and videos. We will definitely be using Michal again when boarding George.”
“Kristen took great care of my lab/shepard mix! I could tell my dog was happy, well loved, and cared for in my absence. I really loved the photo updates too. I highly recommend Kristen!”
“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!! ☺️”
“Bianka and her family opened up their house to our little Max for 2 nights and we were updated the whole time. She followed our routine and Max was a happy boy when we got him. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Karina kept me updated with photos daily and she took such good care of Nilla who can be a bit reactive/fearful at times. Karina assured me she would take extra care and Nilla left happy!”
“Kara was amazing!! Going through a lot and I needed someone to take care of my two cats. She took them last minute and was so caring from the get go! One of my cats is very shy and he felt at home right away! I ended up extending the time because of my current situation. Will use her again!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Allyson was wonderful. Very responsive and really understood how to care for an older dog. I have never left Lieben with anyone during her 14 year life so I was anxious to start. Allyson calmed my nerves at the first conversation and throughout the stay. She would provided updates and pictures everyday and confirmed how well Lieben was doing. Every dog is different and for me Allyson was the right fit for Lieben. She was kind, caring and the home environment matched what Lieben is used to. Her and her husband are wonderful people who have hearts for dogs. HIGHLY recommend her to care for your fur baby. I appreciate and am grateful to have met such a lovely person. Will book with her again!”
“Yajaira was great from start to finish. Kept me updated every step of the way with pictures and making sure the pups were having a great stay. Will be using her again in the future. Thank you Yajaira!”
“From the moment my dog and I met Anne-Marie and Steve, I knew they would be a good fit as they seem to be genuine dog lovers and put Goose at ease right away! He had the best time with them as I could tell from the photos they shared during his stay. I like that they only take in one dog at a time so they can provide focused care and their place is clean and tidy. I won't hesitate to leave Goose with them again in the future and highly recommend them!”
“She was so communicative, she send pictures ! She follows the schedule which I love , she teach them tricks. Her cats are amazing with dogs. Thank you for looking after Milo.”
“Justin and his family were amazing with our pup Bella. We received daily/detailed updates and we were at ease knowing that she was receiving great care and attention. This was Bella's first time away from us and we are glad we chose Justin to take care of her for us. He made her feel at home making sure she was happy and comfortable. Thank you Justin!”
“Stefanie was absolutely amazing with my dog! This was my first time using Rover and I was pretty anxious, but she was a fantastic communicator throughout my dog's stay. We got so many adorable pictures and video updates. Her cats are super dog-friendly, and my dog got along great with them. Stefanie is very knowledgable and understands the nuances of pet care. My dog had a wonderful experience, and usually my dog is pretty anxious in new situations! She got plenty of affection, attention, and exercise. I would definitely book Stefanie 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.”

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Luci! She takes such amazing care of CoCo and always makes sure he sticks to his routines. One of my favorite things about her, and a huge reason I continue to book with her, is how responsive and attentive she is. She keeps me updated every step of the way with messages and plenty of photos, which I absolutely love and appreciate. I can always tell CoCo is happy, comfortable, and well cared for with her. I highly recommend Luci to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet!!
Paola and her family were very sweet to my dog Winnie. They kept me updated with photos and stories the whole time. Also they never left her alone, which I know can’t always be the case, but was really great for Winnie’s anxiety. I would definitely recommend Paola to others looking for a great sitter!
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!

There are 1,127 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Hamden. About 90% 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.

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.
