“As always, Karina was nothing but amazing with my girl, Pixie. She is so patient, warm-hearted, and professional. I can tell my Pixie is loved and well cared for in her care. Thanks so much Katina. 🤗”
“Andrea was super nice and managed to accomodate our last-minute Christmas booking. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, and our dogs looked quite happy and relaxed. Her house has a fenced-in area that they loved to play in. Most impressive of all, though, was that Andrea let the dogs into her bedroom (they are used to sleeping next to us), on Christmas no less. Our dogs seemed in great shape when we picked them up after their 3 day stay. She seems to be a very caring and careful dog sitter. We would have no hesitation in our leaving our dogs with her again. Thanks!”

“1st time using Laura’s services and i must say she was amazing. She was very polite and professional. She took great care of my dog while i was gone and was accommodating.

“She was efficient and extremely nice and I can definitely tell Pepper had fun. Will definitely recommend her services again and will definitely be booking again. I’ve already told my friends who are pet owners”

Just shows how much they cared! Thank you!”

“Siqing is a great sitter, she seems to genuinely care about our dog Molly as if she was her own, and she is incredibly communicative (pics and general updates during the stay), plus Molly came back with a festive bandana and a great desire to nap after all the fun she had with Siqing's others pets!”
“Stephanie was great with my dog Darla while I was away on vacation. She constantly send me images and updates on how Darla was doing. In the pictures, it was clear that Darla felt comfortable and happy. Darla is a very timid dog and takes a little while to warm up to people but I can tell she was having a good time. I would definitely recommend Stephanie to anyone deciding on leaving their dog for boarding. If I ever need boarding again, there’s no question that I would choose Stephanie! Thanks again!”

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.
Shelby was a wonderful sitter. she was readily available and responsive and made my cat, Sage, feel right at home, so much so that Sage didn't want to leave! Shelby also sent plenty of pictures and videos so I could see Sage during my time away. I would highly recommend Shelby for your pet's home away from home.
Sai did an amazing job with Kali! It was her first time away from home, and she was given all the love she needed and wanted to be comfortable. Sai sent pictures and updates throughout her stay, giving us the reassurance we needed. We look forward to booking with her again!
Bianka took great care of our dog Scooby, who presents with many challenges, including anxiety and blindness. She spent a lot of time with Scooby, such as by walking, petting, and playing with him. She even kept him company and played calming music for him when he woke up in the middle of the night. Bianka also sent frequent updates that included pictures. We are so grateful for Bianka!
Kayla and her husband took such great care of Gus! They had him 11 days and sent photos and videos every day. They have a wonderful female Vizla who seemed to love Gus, and their big fenced yard gave him a safe place to play. They also went on walks and outings, even to the beach. He was glad to see me when I got back but he was looking out the rear window as we drove away, perhaps sorry his vacation was over! Highest regard for the care he received!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in West Haven on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 1,222 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in West Haven. About 91% 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.
