“Margaret was incredibly organized. We were able to meet with her prior to our dog's stay. She took notes on all the needs our dog had, including his chicken allergy. When we dropped him off, it was clear she had reviewed her notes and was ready to give him the attention and love he needed. She sent us pictures of him while we were gone. Her communication skills were excellent and she was flexible with our drop off and pick up times.”
“Aneice is an amazing sitter that was so kind and patient with our high energy dog. She kept us informed with updates and pictures every day of her stay. Thank you Aneice!”
“Kyle did an amazing job! I have 2 dogs, one of which is anxious towards other dogs. Kyle sent me photos and videos of my dogs each day and even got them to play with other dogs he had sitting! He does a great job and I will be booking with him in the future!”
“Emily was wonderful! She made it very comfortable to leave our dog with her. We knew Stella would be well taken care of with her. If we are ever that way again we would definitely use Emily.”
“Jana was awesome! She took Baxter on short notice and was so willing to help out. Sent pictures and we felt so good about leaving him. Will definitely book with her again. She was great!”
“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!!”
“First trip away from home for our little 4 month old Stella. Michael and Ashley and their 3 daughters and their 2 pups provided a welcoming and safe situation for our puppy. We were able to enjoy a couple of nights away with no worries. We hope this is a longterm relationship with this super-nice family. 0”
“Jessica was great with our new puppy and sent us updates every day. I knew she was in great hands and she enjoyed playing with the other dogs there. Jessica was very accommodating with our schedule for drop off/pick up times.”
“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.”
“Tania provided a wonderful home away from home for my senior dog! Her yard has plenty of space to move around and my dog easily made friends with her two dogs. Tania sent two or three updates each day with pictures and video, which put me at ease with it being my dog's first time away from home. I was booking last-minute, and Tania was upfront about another dog already being booked on what was the last day I needed someone to watch my dog, and I appreciated that so much. It was so easy communicating with her. Would definitely book her again if we have the need!”
“Dashing took extremely great care of our Lou! Five stars, we will be booking with her again! It was very comforting to know our pup was in such great hands and allowed us to enjoy our vacation!”
“Felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her. She sent pictures and videos and Daisy seemed to be having a great time. Cindy is also so sweet and personable. Will definitely use her for my baby again!”
“Communication was perfect! Mary took care of my fur babies so well and sent daily pics and updates. Recommend her to anyone looking for attentive care for their pets.”
“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.”
“Kristen was awesome and really came in a clutch for us with unexpected last minute travel over Christmas week. She took great care of our dogs and was super helpful and flexible with our drop off and pick up times. Thanks Kristen!”

Jess was an amazing sitter for us this week! It’s always nice to know your pup is in good hands when you’re away. Dot was well cared for, had a blast with the other dogs, and we received photos/updates daily which was so fun to see. She came home happy and healthy (and a little tuckered out from all the adventures). Jess is super accommodating and the communication was fantastic. We would recommend to anyone!
Becca was absolutely wonderful! We had 2 meet and greets for dogs to acclimate to each other. She is very good reading dog’s body language. She was able to keep things in control and let the dogs get adjusted. Becca is also very accommodating. We had to cancel due to an urgent matter and she worked with us until we could move forward and set a date for our trip. She was wonderful with our dog. She loves animals and she loved Cash and his sweet personality traits. Cash needs a little extra care and work and she was very willing and happy to accommodate everything I asked. I will definitely use Becca again. She is a great find!
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
Liz was amazing at taking care of our dog while we were on vacation over the 4th of July. Our dog is very nervous of fireworks but she and her family helped accommodate him to not be so anxious. Auggie seemed to fit right in with their family and was well taken care of.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - West Haven
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in West Haven on Rover is $37.74 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 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 July 2026, there are 789 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.
