Dyan did a great job caring for my dog, Pippin. I could tell he was very comfortable at her house with her and Aiko. Communication was great, she was flexible and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again with her in the future!

Araceli and Uciel did a fantastic job of watching my dog for a week. They took such wonderful care of him and sent pics\videos with updates every day. It was clear he had a grand time playing with their two dogs and being spoiled rotten. I will definitely be using them again when I go out of town.

Maggie took very good care of Samson, or 2 1/2 year old energetic dog. good looooong walks, lots of cuddling, and he seemed really happy there. Add to that, lots of photos sent to us to put our minds more at ease while we were away. Her dog Moose got along really well with Samson too. I'd recommend her to anyone who wants TLC for their pup.

About: A Lifelong Dog Lover — And It Shows Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and that deep bond shapes everything about how I care for them. I don’t just see walking a dog as a task — I see it as an adventure tailored to what dogs do best. Did you know that roughly a third of a dog’s brain is devoted entirely to smell? According to the AKC, dogs can detect scents at least 10,000 times better than we can. Every walk I take is designed to honor that — giving your pup the time and freedom to truly experience the world the way nature intended. What I Offer Whether it’s an hour-long nature hike on a wooded trail or a leisurely half-hour neighborhood stroll, I customize each outing to your dog’s energy level and needs. I’m experienced walking multiple dogs at once and genuinely enjoy the company. Your dog won’t just be exercised — they’ll be enriched. I’m also happy to reinforce whatever training methods you’ve already established at home, so there’s no confusion and no backsliding while you’re away. Consistency matters, and I take that seriously. For pet sitting, your dog becomes part of my home — well-loved, well-supervised, and never an afterthought. I’m available to take care of furry family members full-time. Dinner time I need to be home with my family, but I can accommodate early morning, all-day, and evening visits and walks. If boarding your dog with me, your dog will be at home with my dog, and will be able to enjoy our fully fenced back yard. Should you desire crating, we can do that, but we will also allow your dog to sleep on our bed if that’s what they prefer.

Chris was extremely accommodating when I had a last minute need for boarding. His space is great for dogs and he and Bonnie clearly take extremely good care of the pets in their care. I got lots of pictures showing Trout having a great time. Chris was also very flexible when travel woes struck and I had to extend Trout's stay later than I initially booked for. Overall 10/10 experience, would absolutely book again.

About: Hi, I am a work from home college student, I have been pet sitting for over 4 years and I have a loving toy cockapoo of my own. I have a large fenced in yard along with plenty of indoor space for cuddles, lounging, and running around. I follow pet parents routine for walk/eating allowing with optional photos/videos. I look forward to hosting your pet where dogs become family I work from home part time so I am always here with a flexible schedule to do walks, take breaks, and keep an eye on our furry friends! I have a large fenced in yard, my care depends on the pets needs, so weather they like long walks, cuddles, lounging on couch or deck, there needs will be catered to and pets will be well taken care of:)

Lisa was great with our young puppy. We couldn’t leave him alone in our house and we needed to find someone who would take him overnight in their house. She was easy to communicate with and let us know how our dog was doing. When we picked him up, he was happy and worn out from playing. We were glad he was safe with her and will definitely contact her again if we need an overnight dog sitter.

I can’t say enough great things about Adrienne! From the moment I contacted her, she made me feel at ease about leaving my dog in her care during my trip. She went above and beyond in every way, keeping me updated with photos and videos of my dog throughout the day, which honestly made me so happy to see. It was clear that she not only took great care of my dog but also genuinely enjoyed spending time with her. Their kindness and attention to detail were truly exceptional. I highly recommend Adrienne to anyone looking for a sitter who is not only reliable but also incredibly thoughtful and kind! Thank you so much for all you did!

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and I currently have a dog back in Costa Rica who has a special condition and uses a wheelchair. Caring for him has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I’ve learned to adapt to his unique needs and rhythm, provide extra support when necessary, and ensure he feels safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. This experience has taught me patience, creativity, and a deep understanding of how every pet has their own personality and pace. From energetic pups to those with special needs, I know how to adjust activities, offer affection, and create a stress-free, happy environment. My goal is always to make each dog feel valued, cared for, and truly at home while in my care. Hi! I’m available throughout the week, depending on the service you need. I usually offer dog walks from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and I’m flexible to adjust to your schedule whenever possible. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Feel free to message me so we can discuss details and find a plan that works for both of us. 🐾 I live in an apartment, with a small space, however the complex has a dog park and a large green area. It is a calm and quiet place

Haoran was the sweetest and took care of our pup during a chaotic wedding day. Pup was happy and healthy upon return and seemed to have fun with the other pups in her care. We will definitely rebook if ever in the area again.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - West Hartford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in West Hartford on Rover is $48.13 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 932 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in West Hartford. About 92% of West Hartford 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.
