“I will definitely book with Margaret again. She took very good care of our Juno and kept in contact and sent pictures of Juno during our trip. I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her. :)”
“I am a first time user of Rover. Rebecca was nice, patient, and answered all my questions. She took great care of my doberman. I liked that she has dogs and kids to keep Georgie occupied for 4 nights. Way better than a commercial kennel!”
“This is our second great experience with Ashley and Michael. Despite Ruby being scared when she arrived, Michael took that in stride and did his best to help her settle in (and me escape) quickly and effectively. They always send pics and I so appreciate them allowing her to act like one of their own.”
“This is the second time I have left my furbabies with Jana and it was a longer stay!! I'm was so happy that I could just relax and enjoy my vacation knowing that they were in good hands!!! I absolutely love Jana and her husband Ron!!”
“These guys were fantastic! They kept me updated on how my dog was doing and she seemed perfectly happy there playing with their dogs and sleeping with their kids and stuff. I would totally use them again!”
“Laura is phenomenal. She sent me updates and pictures daily. My dogs are old and can be annoying. But that didn't phase her at all. She took very good care of them. I'm very happy with her services. And my dogs are very happy too.”
“It was wonderful having Aneice board my dog while I was out of town. She was in constant contact with me, sending pics. Peanut was well cared for and very happy. She (Peanut) wanted to stay when I picked her up😉. I will definitely to have Aneice watch Peanut again.”
“Crowe and Taylor are amazing dog sitters. We always know Hazel is well loved and taken care of. They send frequent picture and updates. They are great to work with and respond quickly. Highly recommend :)”
“I had to leave town on official duty and had to leave my dog, Rocky, behind especially because he wasn’t in the best shape health-wise, I was anxious, uncertain, and honestly scared about being away from him while he was unwell. Then came Alicia and Mikel, two absolute angels. From the moment I dropped Rocky off, I knew I had made the right choice. They welcomed him with such warmth and care, it was like he became a part of their family. While I was away, they went above and beyond nursing him slowly back to health, tending to his needs with incredible patience, and showering him with the kind of love only true animal lovers understand. They never once complained, never treated his condition like a burden. Instead, they kept me constantly updated with messages, photos, and honest progress reports bringing me so much comfort while I was miles away. They changed his bandages every day without complaining even when Rocky tried to bite them because he didn't like them touching his leg they were still able to find a walk around somehow to make sure his paws were bandaged properly i'm forever grateful Thank you both from the bottom of my heart. I’ll never forget what you did for my boy. Anyone lucky enough to have you care for their pet is in the best hands imaginable.”
“Becca did a great job communicating both before and during Baxter’s stay. She went above and beyond to keep me updated and ease my worries over leaving him for the first time. Highly recommended, would use again.”
“Ashlee was fantastic! We were in a bind and she took our dog in less than an hour from booking a last minute stay. She was great to work with and our dog seemed well cared for!”
“Cindy had Pebbles for 3 weeks this time. She sent me regular updates, pictures and videos. I didn't worry about our little girl at all. Pebs had a great time. She got new treats she never had before and even left with a new toy that she loves. She was completely spoiled in such a good way. I love taking her to Cindy's because she has a wonderful environment, it helps with Pebbles socialization since there are other dogs at different time and Sara (Cindy's sweet dog) is wonderful with other dogs. You can tell Cindy cares about the dogs with her.”
“Chris and her family are truly amazing! We received updates with pictures during our whole trip which was so fun. Chris is the sweetest lady and we had total piece of mind that our pup was in the absolute best hands! So glad we found her❤️ Thank you Chris!”
“Lauren was absolutely wonderful for my two dogs! I have a puppy and an old boy and they both were very well cared for while my fiancé and I were out of town. She was an exceptional communicator and a great doggy photographer as well. We loved the pictures! I will definitely use her again anytime I need a sitter.”
“Oh my goodness I couldn’t leave a happier review! Nemesis was absolutely amazing with our puppy Dune!! We received lots of updates throughout the stay along with pictures and videos. Her dogs also loved to play with Dune which he enjoyed! She took him on adventures and gave him lots of love, we would definitely use her again in the future!!”

Becca and her family are amazing! They took our dog last minute and loved her like their own, she was so accommodating and our dog was comfortable the second she walked in!! So grateful to have found Becca- we now have a consistent sitter that our dog loves to go to!!
I can’t say enough good things about Ryan. We lucked out when we found him several years ago. He has been our consistent pet sitter for going on four years now and it’s so upsetting that we’re moving because I fully trust my pets in his care. He truly cares about the animals he watches and I know my animals are in the best hands
Morgan was amazing! She was easy to communicate with and took the best care of my golden doodle! She sent pictures regularly and made me feel comfortable at please while our family was away! We were all able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was being well cared for and entertained while we were away! Highly recommend!
Chaylee was wonderful. This was our first time ever boarding or having someone watch our dog that wasn’t a family member. She was extremely kind, very responsive, sent many photos that honestly helped with the anxious feeling of our Ghost being in a new place. It was very much a new happy place. Truly she deeply cares for pets and is just a kind and sweet soul. Thank you very much

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in West Haven on Rover is $37.74 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 Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 778 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across West Haven. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
99% of West Haven sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which West Haven landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their West Haven home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your West Haven.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your West Haven sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 UT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
