“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. :)”
“We left our pups with Sandy and Chris for a weeklong little trip. They and their kids were great with our boys! They were loving and attentive and sent regular picture updates. I can't recommend them more to care for your dogs. I'll 100% be reaching out to them the next time I go on a trip!”
“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!!”
“Laura saved us last minute when our previous Rover booking fell through! She was so kind & accommodating to our dogs. They were so comfortable at her home & we got pics to prove it!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“I was very nervous about leaving my lab, Hank, with anyone. Ashley provided confidence that he would be fine and would do well. Ashley provided photos and messages each day which helped me not to worry. Hank was in great spirits when he got home, which had not been my experience when leaving him with a different dog sitter. I have a GPS tracker on Hank and he received more active time than normal so I know he had a good time playing during his stay and had plenty of exercise. I finally feel like I can leave Hank and know that he will be well taken care of, thank you, Ashley and family. I hope you will be available to watch Hank again for us. Thank you!”
“Jason is awesome. He made the transition for our pup very nice. He treated our dog like a member of his own family. It was awesome seeing daily pictures on how pur pup was doing. I would highly recommend Jason”
“This amazing family took such great care of my 7 month old puppy! She kept in touch with pics and video and made me feel so comfortable with being away from her. Thank you Elise!”
“My dog had the best time with German and his wife! They sent me pictures daily and took him on walks, to the park, and out back to play! I had to book last minute and was nervous about finding someone I could trust and I am so glad I found them! Will definitely book again!”
“Kylee was amazing with our little Daisy! It was my first time ever leaving her with someone other than family and she made me feel super comfortable. She responded right away and was super good about checking in. Will definitely be contacting her to watch our pup again!”
“Steven and his family did a wonderful job watching our dog for 10 days. She seemed very comfortable and well taken care of. He was very kind and offered a lot of flexibility. Was also kind enough to send updates and pictures periodically. Never had a problem once getting in contact with him - very responsive! I highly recommend Steven and would absolutely use him again in the future”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Haven
Bridget and Jason were fantastic with our two dogs. Sometimes, my dogs have a hard time eating when they’re anxious (even when they’re at home), but they ate just fine, which tells me they were very comfortable. They sent updates frequently and it looked as though my dogs were very entertained and having fun. We highly recommend them. We will definitely be using them again!
Ashley took such good care of Fritz, she wanted Fritz to feel at home, so she let him sleep in his own bed in her bedroom at night. ( just like home). She took him for walks and sent us pictures of him having fun in her backyard. We had to buy a new collar, but it was too big so she went a bought Fritz a new one that fit much better.She’s very detailed, even gave us a report on his behavior, she was amazing, we fully trusted her with Fritz!!
I am so appreciative of the level of care my dog received from Laura! He was so happy and comfortable with her that I had zero concerns about him while I was on my trip. I felt like she loved him like one of her own and that means a lot to me! I would definitely use your service 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!
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in West Haven is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $50 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.

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.
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, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Haven. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
