“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. :)”
“Rebecca was awesome to work with. She kept me in the loop the entire time she had my boys and when I showed up they were still having fun. I would highly recommend her to her and will certainly be using her for boarding in the future!”
“Great couple with a loving home including kids and other dogs. They were open to a meet and greet which we were appreciative of the day before so everyone got comfortable before our actual appointment. They sent plenty of updates throughout our booked time leaving us with no stress about leaving my dog behind”
“My high energy/anxiety border doodle absolutely loves her! Danii made sure that she ate every day which was our main concern as she has had problems eating when she’s stressed in the past. She gave her lots of puzzles, sent us videos of her playing in the leaves and even slept with her at night so she wouldn’t be lonely. We couldn’t be happier and will definitely be bringing our dog back!”
“Aneice was very friendly, professional, and willing to work with whatever we needed for our doggo. It was our first time leaving him at someone's home, so we were nervous, and so was our anxious pup. She was very reassuring & did her best to make us all comfortable with several photos & updates for us humans, and many snuggles for our dog. She did a fantastic job & I highly recommend her. Thank you so much, Aneice! ❤️”
“So great! They kept in constant contact and updated me on how my dog was doing from sleeping to playing. Super flexible and easy to get setup with! Thank you guys for taking care of my baby!!”
“We just adopted our dog and had only had her for a few weeks. We couldn’t take her on a trip we had planned and Laura was amazing!! Our dog was really nervous and she worked with her and she did so good. We will be using Laura again for sure!”
“These guys are great I was stressing out on leaving her with other people but theses guys made her feel at home and the pic they would send and keep me up to date on how she was doing was great they took such great care of her I now were she will be going next time I have to leave her thank u so much”
“Jessica took such good care of our sweet puppy. It was our first time going somewhere without her (she’s only 6-months old) and we were on vacation during the 4th of July holiday. Jessica went above and beyond to comfort and care for our girl, even amidst all the stress that fireworks bring with dogs. We will definitely use Jessica again next time we need pet services. ?”
“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!!”
“Ashlee was amazing! Received daily updates while our pups stayed with her and her family. Highly recommend, I’m so glad she was available to take our dogs. They went out of their way to make our girls feel at home, and taken care of. They were also sad to leave and whined the whole way home! 🤣”
“Harry usually comes home a little stressed after staying with other boarders, but this time he came home happy, relaxed, and completely himself. That says everything about the care he received—we’ll definitely trust this family with him again! Thank you!”
“Lauren is a fantastic dog sitter who provided exceptional care for my two beloved pups. Mia, who is typically quite timid, and Bruno, who craves attention and affection, were both happy and content under Lauren's watchful eye. Her sweet nature and commitment to keeping me updated with photos and videos put my mind at ease, knowing that my furry friends were in capable hands. Lauren's kindness and expertise made it feel like my dogs were in their own home. I highly recommend her services and look forward to booking with her again in the future! We love you Lauren, see you soon 🫶🏼🐶🐶🥰”
“Cindy is an awesome dog sitter. She's knowledgeable and provides a wonderful experience for our fur babies to feel happy and safe. Our two dogs really enjoyed their stay with her, and we enjoyed the peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for. She gave us daily reports complete with pictures. We would definitely like to have her watch our dogs in the future.”
“Phenomenal service! I was so happy leaving my little guy with Chris and DD. I took a 9 day trip out of the country and my pup was well cared for the whole time. He received lots of love, walks, and personal attention. Chris was very responsive to texts the whole time and sent me multiple pics to help me know that he was doing well. My pup came home happy and healthy! I highly recommend Chris for your pet sitter needs!”
“Nemisis did a great job with Rocko. She sent updates with pictures and I could see that he was getting loving attention and activity. He was happy and relaxed when I picked him up. Definitely will book again!”

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.
