“I was worried to leave Ruby for so long for her first time being away. Mckenzie took great care of her and sent me pictures everyday. She wore Ruby out, she slept in the car on the way home. Thank you for watching her and keeping up with her crazy energy.”
“Nemesis did amazing for our 2 dogs! This was their first time saying anywhere else besides family. Nemesis sent pictures and videos multiple times per day. I could tell they were loved and cared for by their facial expressions!”
“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!”
“Ashley was a dream caregiver for our pups!! She was very commutative, sent all the photos, and went above and beyond to take care of our babies. You can tell she really loves caring for animals and can’t wait to connect with her again!”
“Aubrey was such a pleasure to work with. She took such good care of our kitten, she sent pictures, videos and daily updates. I will absolutely use her in the future. Nina”
“Kyla was great. We had to book on very short notice and had some drop off and pick up obstacles and she was very accommodating. Dogs were happy when we picked them up. Will definitely book with Kyla again”
“Julie took great care of our dog! She made sure Daisy only ate her own food, which is not always easy to do with multiple dogs. She sent photos so we could see she was adjusting well and enjoy our vacation without worrying about our dog.”
“Brionna communicated with me regularly and sent me pictures. When I picked up my pets, they were calm and peaceful showing that they were not stressed. My dog got back out of my van and went over to Brianna and her partner, to say goodbye. It was a sweet evidence that they were content.”
“Lana was great! This was our first time using Rover and leaving Grizz with someone other than family. We had a meet and greet before the stay which was perfect. Helped put my mind at ease and let Grizz get acquainted with her. She kept us updated with pictures and messages while we were away. We’d definitely use Lana again.”
“Wonderful experience. Mitchell was really flexible with us and took great care of our GSD. He has a beautiful yard and a friendly dog of his own . I feel a new freedom knowing I can leave my dog in a home environment instead of a kennel.”
“Totally Love how my dog came back well refresh like he’s been in a nice vacation also. Since she either have dogs and cats of her own and the other dogs and cats she watch, made a great interaction for my Chanceux since he’s the only one and don’t have much interactions with other animals. When my Chanceux comes back from her home he seems genuinely happy instead of deeply traumatized like my Previous sitter I only used twice. Most Definitely recommend Rachel, I also love her kind personality.”
About: Grew up training horses and caring for many animals including dogs, cats and rabbits to name a few. Each pet in my care will recieve some one on one time with me, and lots of cuddles and attention. I am a retired social worker, generally at home, I may leave for a few hours for errands then all pets are comfortable in kennels. I have 2 small dogs of my own, they are friendly, a fenced yard for play and exercise. Bring your own kennel and pet food. Pets are welcome on furniture but generally enjoy sitting on a pillow in my lap.
“Pazely was so great to work with. I would recommend her services to others. She sent videos and pics of my pup Callie. She went above and beyond in making Callie feel safe and comfortable around her bigger dogs. Thank you!”
“Kelsea, and her adorable family took excellent care of our high energy, super vocal, Coton de Tuléar. Her cute cute gave him lots of exercise and attention. I hope so! I think he misses their family! He definitely doesn't get played with as much at our home. We definately hope Kelsea will be willing to watch him again sometime!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs around since I was a very little girl, I’ve experienced having small dogs, Medium-sized, and Large Dogs. My Mom bred Maltese so I got to constantly play with many adorable puppies and help bathe them too. My husband, has had about 8 years of experience with animals. He helped me with raising 10 puppies, a litter from our own dog Tyndale. Our whole family absolutely loves dogs! We’d love to meet and play with your puppy too! I am currently working from home, taking care of my family and pets, so I have plenty of time to take care of and play with your puppy. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog named Tyndale, she loves to play and would be happy to help keep your Doggie company.
“I’ve met 4 other sitters on here, and none of them even come close to being as impressive as Charlee. You can tell she really knows dog behavior. She is super knowledgeable and it shows in how she handles and interacts with dogs. Her own dogs are incredibly well trained, which made me feel even more confident leaving mine with her I felt so comfortable having her watch my dog overnight. She sent photos and videos throughout the stay, which made it so easy to relax knowing everything was going well. She even sent a video of my dog taking a nap, which she has never done at other sitter’s houses. My dog came home happy, calm, and clearly well taken care of. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who genuinely understands and cares about dogs.”
“Susie is the best! This was our second time leaving our dog with her. It had been several months since we last had her puppy sit. As soon as we got out of the car Chiquita went running right up to Susie and practically jumped into her arms. She is great at communicating and sending pictures and loving on our dog.”

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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 804 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in West Haven. About 93% of West Haven sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
