“Our dog Remy had a wonderful time with Yi Jia and her dogs! We are new to the region and Yi Jia made us feel comfortable by walking us through her property / house where Remy would be staying and that gave us a lot of peace of mind. She sent us a lot of pics of Remy playing with her dogs and kept us informed throughout the stay. Remy had an incredible time with her and the dogs and cannot wait to go back!”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my passion for personalized care and my experience with various dog breeds. I currently work at a veterinary hospital as a receptionist and I love my day being filled with many furry friends. I ensure pets develop good habits from the start, and I also provide attentive care for senior dogs, catering to their unique needs. My home offers a safe, playful environment, and I prioritize regular exercise and mental stimulation. With my flexible schedule, I can accommodate last-minute bookings, and I offer photo updates so you can see your furry friend’s adventures! I currently work during the week, but I have full availability on the weekends to accommodate your furry best friend and their needs. I’m also able to accommodate boarding during the week as we are a very pet friendly household and there’s always someone at home to ensure your pet feels comfortable and well taken care of. I have a fenced yard, and the most adorable labradoodle at home to keep your best friend company. I’m also able to provide a crate if needed, and I am able to take your pets on as many walks as their heart desires.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I take the time to learn their individual personality, routines, and needs rather than treating every pet the same. I’m patient, attentive, comfortable with both cats and dogs, and experienced with keeping pets on their usual feeding, play, and potty schedules. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I work part-time, typically between 10 AM and 6 PM, which gives me flexibility before and after work for pet care. I’m able to plan visits around my work schedule and provide consistency. In my home I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can relax and feel at home. For dogs, I have a fenced in backyard where they can safely play, run around, and get some fresh air. For cats, I have a cat tree, cat beds, and plenty of toys for enrichment and stimulation. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual routine and care instructions as closely as possible, making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own space.
“Sandra was absolutely wonderful with our goldendoodle, Oscar! She treated him like part of her own family, and it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We loved the regular photo updates and could see how happy and well-cared-for he was. We’re so grateful to have found someone so kind and reliable. Highly recommend Sandra to anyone looking for a loving sitter!”
“Excellent care! Lots of photos and updates, Xeena was very comfortable and happy she had her own play space and room for sleeping . Highly recommend and will call again!”
“Our fur babies had a wonderful 2 week pupcation with Elisabeth. We never have to worry while we are gone because we know she and her family treat our dogs with such love and compassion. Thank you, Elisabeth!!!”
“By far… the best second Mom to my baby! Dynamo feels so at home with her and her family. I needed a second home when I go away and she and her family are perfect! She is so attentive and loving to the fur babies. Dynamo has always been very skittish. Went around other dogs. Well what can I say, not anymore. She provided a space for him to learn how to make new friends. He even got a girlfriend out of this babysitting adventure. Today, I had to remind him that he had to come home with me and not stay! Five stars and I will always recommend 💕”
“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!”
“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!”

Charles stayed with Brianna and couldn’t have been happier! 🐶❤️ Brianna was so sweet and made him feel right at home, even letting him sleep on her bed during the day—which he absolutely loved! She was very responsive and kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me great peace of mind. I would definitely recommend Brianna to anyone looking for a dog sitter in the New Haven, CT area. Charles would be happy to stay with her again\! 🐾
Shelby has been a wonderful sitter for my cat, Sage. She made her feel so comfortable she had a hard time leaving. Shelby is friendly, communicative, and shares lots of pictures. As hard as it is to leave Sage when I travel, I feel comfortable knowing she is in Shelby's care.
Amazing first Rover experience with Jordin. Having just moved to a new place I haven’t had much time to take my dog out on long walks/exploring, but she was able to do that with him & I could tell in her communication she really cares about animals. Definitely recommend Jordin to watch your pets!
Sai was excellent and amazing when boarding my dog for a couple of days. Followed all instructions given and provided updates throughout the day. Since this was my first time using this app I was a bit skeptical with everyone but I gained confidence because Sai is amazing at care for our loved ones. Will definitely book again if needed, Highly recommended.
Jon and Kayla were amazing! They took great care of our dog Aspen and were so prompt with communication and updates throughout the day. They are so kind and so trustworthy to take care of all of our pets needs. Will definitely rebook their service and recommend them immensely!
Sandra continues to be a wonderful dog sitter and treats our dog like part of her family. Our pup has become very afraid of loud noises, and there was heavy rain and thunder in the forecast while Sandra was caring for her. She went above and beyond to make our pup feel safe and comforted during the worst of the storm. Knowing our dog is in loving and caring hands is the best feeling!!
Amber was the best cat sitter and my family was pleasantly surprised at tge special care and love Amber gave our 3 months old kittens. Amber cared for them as if they were her own. She had excellent cat knowledge and experience. She sent us pictures everyday and cute remarks that made us laugh. We were comfortable and relaxed knowing our kittens were in great hands. We would highly recommend Amber to sit for any cat owner.
Ashley was very reliable, excellent care giver. She walked my dog every day. I was so lucky to have Ashley available to take care of Charlie my little dog. Charlie was so excited to see Ashley’s beautiful and friendly dog , I really loved petting her dog, he was so cute and so smart. I definitely rebook with Ashley whenever I am back in New Haven. Location was great too! Near Yale.
Katherine took wonderful care of our dog, Petunia, during her stay over a recent, long weekend. She sent frequent messages and photos as to Petunia's activities which gave us great confidence that Petunia was happy and comfortable staying with Katherine. We will definitely book a stay with Katherine in the future when Petunia needs boarding.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in West Haven on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,212 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in West Haven. About 89% of West Haven 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.

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.
