“Christopher was kind enough to take my pup on fairly short notice, which I so appreciate. He was friendly, a good communicator, and sent me updates/photos of my dog every day. I can tell Molly enjoyed her stay and I plan to bring her again on my next trip.”
“Tina fit us in on short notice when I unexpectedly went into labor early. Her communication was great and we were so grateful to have a safe place for our dog while we were in the hospital.”
“They took great care of our dog. She loved running and playing in their large fenced in yard, as evidenced by the photos and videos they sent us (which we much appreciated). Will definitely use them again.”

“Anthony kept us up to date on how our dog was doing including how she was eating. He provided us with pictures on a daily basis. Sometimes in the morning and evening.”
“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!”
“Elizabeth is awesome! She kept me updated the whole week. Even went above and beyond to make sure my dog was eating everyday. Her place is nice and spacious for play time - I’m sure my dog enjoyed his time there ? highly recommend!”
“Catie and her husband were able to take care of my dog when travel plans changed last minute. I was very nervous with a new sitter but they took great care of Barkley. They sent videos and pictures thru out his stay and were very responsive when I reached out to check on how he was doing. I would recommend them and use again!”
About: I have a close connection with a well-respected, professional dog trainer. I can usually get helpful tips and techniques on short notice, which I have used to successfully train puppies on basic commands (sit, stay, etc). I have 1 cat (2yrs old) who is neutered, indoor, and very shy. I work from home so I spend a lot of time caring for my pet which includes 3 mealtimes, plus play/enrichment time, and relaxing downtime each day. For dog care, I have a small fenced in yard and live in a nice area, so dog walks and outdoor potty breaks are very convenient at most times of day.
“Siqing was great with Bear; he seemed to have had a great time. She pulled him out of his shell. He will definitely be going back to be with Siqing and all his new furry friends. Two thumbs/paws up.”
“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!”
“I had such a great experience with Luci! She was incredibly responsive and kept me updated the entire time with plenty of pictures and messages, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Her communication and attention to detail made the whole process stress-free. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“I had a great experience and would definitely book with her again! She was very responsive and always answered my texts quickly. She sent photos and videos at least twice a day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She really made sure my dog was comfortable throughout his stay. Since he was there over the Fourth of July, she even turned up the AC to help drown out the fireworks, which I really appreciated. I was initially a little nervous because three other dogs were staying with her at the same time, but she reassured me they were all getting along and sent videos so I could see for myself. In the end, my dog looked like he was having an amazing time! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter.”
“Ivelisse was a wonderful dog sitter, we are so grateful for her thoughtfulness and care of our pups 🐾🐾we got lots of pictures, videos of our pups in her yard from her ring camera, which was really nice. She is polite, caring, communicates well, asks questions, and clearly cares about the dogs she cares for. We will definitely use her again to take care of our dogs!”
“Andrew was very helpful when taking care of Tyson gave tips and recommendations for my puppy. He also gave updates every day with pictures and videos of Tyson Stay. Would recommend Andrew to anyone.”
“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!”

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.
Anna cared for our cat Simone like she was a member of the family! She asked pertinent questions regarding our cat to understand exactly what her needs were to offer the best care possible. She’s quite knowledgeable regarding feline behavior and tendencies and followed specific instructions given by us. Anna also sent a daily message with a photo of Simone, which put us at ease, knowing she was in great hands. We just re-booked Simone to stay with Anna and her family during our next trip. It’s reassuring to know she is loved and cared for when we are traveling. Anna is the best!
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!
This was our first time having someone outside our immediate family to watch over our dog Quincy. So we weren’t sure how he would do with someone he didn’t know, especially with another dog in the house. But I knew from the first time I met up with Nafiye to meet Quincy, that everything was going to be ok. He was great with Quincy and he felt very comfortable and responded well with her. He got a long very well with her very trained dog and he had a very nice stay with her while we were out of town. We liked that it was very important to her that she spent a little bit of time with him before committing to watch g him for us. She sent pictures and videos of his stay and playing with them. We will definitely be using her in the future, if she is available.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in West Haven on Rover is $38.85 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 1,246 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.

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 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.
