“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. :)”
“Ashlee was INCREDIBLE. She went above and beyond in every way. I’ve never had a rover be so thoughtful or intentional or thorough. She sent me a lengthy questionaire about my dog and then sent me daily updates with photos and videos. I could tell my dog was being taken care of and loved. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Love Jarica and her sweet family. They take the best care of our Osiris. He is always happy to stay there and exhausted when we pick him up. I love that we get so many pictures and updates.”
“This is the second time we've left my pup with Lauren. Her dogs are super friendly and love to play, which my pup loves! Lauren also has a nice gate setup, so your dog isn't likely to run out the door, which is a small thing, but really puts me at ease, knowing my pup isn't going to go running across their neighborhood when someone stops by. My pup always comes home happy and tired, which is fantastic when I've just come home from a trip.”
“So grateful for the great care provided by Bridget and fam. It was clear that my doggos received lots of attention and love and were comfortable in their home. They returned home to us happy and chill. I was especially grateful for the prompt communication, updates and availability and flexibility of scheduling. I would definitely recommend and would love to leave my pups again. It is such a weight off knowing they’re well cared for.”
“Alicia, Mike, and their family are great with Jed. I enjoyed the pictures they sent. I'm grateful that they accepted a last minute booking, and I will happily book a third stay when the time comes.”
“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!”
“We love Susie! Oscar loves going there. And I totally trust her with caring for my dog Oscar. She sends updates and takes him for walks. I know he’s always well taken care of with her!”

“Elise did such a good job with my puppy! Our cute little furball came home happy and very well loved. Not only did her kids give her lots of attention (which is just like home), but our puppy got lots of interaction with their dog too, which was really helpful for her socializing. We knew she was in good hands! And as an added perk, Elise even sent a picture and video of our puppy playing in the snow. Too cute! Thank you, Elise! We will definitely be returning!”
“Kayla was such a perfect fit for Kira! I had never left my dog with someone I didn't know and Kayla was so understanding and helpful. Kira tends to be very skittish and wary of strangers. Kayla has a calming and patient presence that I know helped our girl feel taken care of while we were gone an entire week. I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Julie was so great and patient with our buddy who wasn’t feeling his best and acted out at times when she had him. So greatful for her experience, patience, and time spent with our doggie.”
“Macie did a great job taking care of our sweet Lucky! She is super sweet & you can tell she loves animals! 💕🐾 We enjoyed the pics she sent & grateful she took Lucky on walks & brushed him! I wish I could share the pic of him grinning from ear to ear in their beautiful backyard. Macie was willing to take care of Lucky even with his special needs at the moment & it was a last minute ask. 😊 He came home soft, happy & healthy! Thanks so much for taking such great care of our sweet Lucky Blue!!! I highly recommend Macie & her family, they are Awesome!!! ✨💕🌈💕✨”
“This was the first time my dogs have stayed with Jason, but they loved it. They sent me pictures throughout the trip and I could tell they were really happy. They took such great care of my furbabies. I highly recommend, and will definitely be using them again.”
“Our first experience with Rover was excellent when we left our dog Bogie with Michael for a last minute trip. Michael's own dog Ricky is so sweet and well-loved, I was immediately put at ease with the decision. Michael's home is clean and comfortable with a large fully fenced yard for the dogs to play. He kept me updated on how Bogie was doing and sent pictures during the stay. I would highly recommend Michael and will be booking with him again soon!”
“Tiffany and her family are always so sweet to take care of my Penny! I know she’s not an easy puppy either, but they are always so happy to take her! She always has a great time, and I know is always in good hands with her. I will for sure stay a returning customer here😊”

Laurie took such good care of my little old man. He's a rescue with a sad history. He really struggles with new sitters, but when I picked him up, he was so calm. She sent me pictures and updates. She has professional protocols for introducing dogs. I will definitely use her again.
Jessica was amazing with our fur babies and we’re very grateful! This was our first experience using Rover and she helped us understand how everything worked and was very communicative throughout our trip. Would be happy to use her again in the future and would def recommend! Thank you Jessica!
Ashlee and her family were fantastic!! I was afraid that Maggie and Leah would want to stay longer!! Great walks, a fenced yard, a trip to a local park, brushing, treats and many scratches - they were in paradise. We also appreciated the last minute schedule adjustment. Do not hesitate to book with Ashlee and consider yourself lucky to get on her schedule.
Danii is awesome with our dogs! We have left them with her three times now and they are always excited to see her! She sends us pictures and updates and is very good at communicating with us about how they are doing. We no longer have to worry when we leave them because we know they are being well cared for.
Peggy was amazing with my Rusty! She let me drop off his stuff the night before going on vacation so that I didn’t have to worry about rushing to set things up the next morning. She also wonderfully handled him having a seizure during his stay, and timely notified me of it happening. She had no problems giving him his oral medications. She sent pictures and little updates throughout the week. I will absolutely use her services again in the future!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in West Haven is $38 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $53 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.
As of October 2026, there are 763 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in West Haven can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their West Haven home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
