“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!”
“Danielle and her husband were absolutely amazing while watching our little guy (Jaxson) for a quick getaway this week. We were given constant updates/pictures, and he clearly made himself right at home and was as comfortable as can be. Communication was prompt from the beginning and we were truly at ease while we were away that he was receiving more than adequate care. Jax became quick friends with their pets, and was moping around when we got home because he clearly misses them! Could not recommend enough!”

“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!”
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my fur baby to Briana, and I couldn’t be more impressed! From the moment we met, it was clear that Briana is passionate about animals and genuinely cares for them. She took the time to learn about my dog's unique needs and routines, ensuring a smooth and comfortable stay. Briana kept me updated with adorable photos and messages throughout the day, which made me feel at ease. It’s evident that she not only has the skills and experience but also the compassion to be an outstanding dog sitter. My dog came back happy, healthy, and tired from all the fun activities Briana provided. I can’t recommend Briana enough—if you want your pet to feel loved and cared for, she’s the one to call!”
About: One of my first pets ever was a black and white cat named Simba, who was referred to as my sibling. In recent years I have taken care of my family dog, Tank, a small dog who lives up to his name. I have also cared for friend’s pets when they are out of town for weeks at a time. Pets are part of the family and I understand how deep the love is! I have such a respect for all animals and look forward to caring for your little sweeties :) I work remotely on Mondays, which gives me flexibility during the day. Evenings I am available after 5:30pm to check-in on your fur babies. I also have more times available over the weekend. I can provide care between 10am-10pm on weekends, but I am unable to indicate that given the app settings. I live in a dog friendly apartment complex with many grassy areas. I also love going on walks at nearby trails or taking dogs to parks. Cuddles are always welcome, but I also respect dogs that want their space.

Mikayla and Justin took wonderful care of our dog Maeve, making her feel right at home and taking her on plenty of walks. Their friendly, calm manner put both Maeve and us at ease, and we really appreciated the updates and photos they sent while we were away. We felt confident that Maeve was in excellent hands. I highly recommend them!
Brianna was excellent! She so clearly loves dogs, and Cody was very comfortable with her from the moment he met her. She put in effort to ensure that Cody was both safe throughout his stay and having a blast/getting lots of play time and walks. We would highly recommend Brianna!
Julia was an amazing sitter. My dog loved spending time with her. She sent frequent pictures and updates. She reached out immediately with any questions or concerns she had to make sure she was taking the best care of my pup. I will definitely be using her again in the future.
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.

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!
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.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in West Haven is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $61 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,210 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. 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
