“Such a fun little retreat for the dogs while we were in Park city. They loved staying with Bianca and her family and her cute little foster pup. Will definitely use Bianca again”
About: Hi, I'm Crystal! I've been an animal caretaker my whole life — mainly dogs, but growing up we had everything: dogs, cats, rats, snakes, a pig, a goat, turkeys, chickens, ducks, horses, turtles, and fish. I started really doing the work of caring for them around age 9, so I have about 15 years of hands-on experience. As an adult I've had a dog, a few cats, and some chickens. Currently I have Cocoa (my dog), my cats Tigre, Princess Cecelia, and Blue, and 2 chickens. Because I've handled so many different species over the years, I'm comfortable with all kinds of animals and personalities: shy rescues, rowdy puppies, picky cats, you name it. What sets me apart is all that variety — most sitters know dogs and cats, but I've cared for just about everything, so very little surprises me. Your pet will be in experienced, confident hands. I work from home running my own business, so I'm home most of the day and my schedule is flexible. That means lots of company, playtime, and potty breaks for boarding guests, and I can usually fit walks and drop-ins around your timing. Just message me and we'll make it work! Every owner and pet is a little different, so I start with a calm, tidy environment and let the pet set the pace. Once they get comfortable, there's more play and energy, but if they're shy, I'll never push it or do anything that scares them or makes them uneasy. I'll keep you updated on how your pet is doing throughout the stay or walk, so you never have to worry.
“Leaving my dog for the first time was worrisome, but I felt comfortable leaving him in Heidi's care. I could tell she had his best interest in mind and he had other great dogs of hers to keep him company. My separation anxiety puppy definitely seems like he enjoyed his stay and was in good care the whole time. I received updates everyday to ease any worries which was very nice. Will use her again for Rudy!”
“Naylie was so good with Griffey. She sent several pictures and videos during his stay to keep me in the loop which made me feel more at ease. She was wonderful! Definitely using her again!”
“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.”
“We had such a great experience! They were so kind and easy to work with, and they took amazing care of our dog while we were away. They kept up with regular walks, sent thoughtful updates, and really helped us feel at ease the whole time. We’re so grateful for them and would absolutely book again!”
“We were very comfortable leaving Cooper with Kelli and Robert. Cooper was well taken care including walks, pool play time and lots of cuddles! Thank you sooo much Kelli and Bob!”
“When plans unexpectedly changed at the last minute, the thought of leaving my sweet pup with strangers terrified me! But Kenzie and her family loved on my sweet Remi like he was their own. Not only did they take him into their home with very little notice, they did so for FIVE weeks! The only thing that got me through our time apart were the daily pictures, videos and updates they provided. And let me tell you, he had a ripping great time with them! Hire Kenzie and her family, your fur baby/babies will be in the best care!!”
“Super convenient location off the canyon in Peterson. Love it that kids get to love on my dogs when their mini humans aren’t around. Thanks Crystal for hosting our princess at your place.”
“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!”
“Kaitlyn and Tyrel are amazing! We felt at ease leaving our dog in their care. Booking, drop off/pick up was all smooth and easy. They sent pictures and updates throughout his stay, letting us know he was safe and getting all the loves. It was such a relief to know our fur baby was in good hands. We found our for to dog sitters!”
About: I am a dedicated animal lover with a natural ability to connect well with pets. I currently have a 2 pound chihuahua and have experience fostering, whom I thoroughly enjoyed caring for. I am able to care for dogs in the evening for walks when fur parents may not be available to do so. In addition to fostering, I also connect with cats. A friend's skittish cat feels comfortable enough to move about freely and relax in my presence, which reflects my calm and patient approach to animal care. I am currently looking for a part time gigs in the evenings Monday-Friday starting at 5:30pm. In the weekends I am only able to drop in and check on the fur friend and/or go on a walk with me. If there is a consistent fur friend that needs constant care, i would be opened to that. Before going to someone's home, I would ask what are is okay and not. What the fur friend needs to have a good time. Go on walks, on a small hike. Take to a dog park to socialize. Any specific details that I must know.
“This was a last minute booking but Rachael was understanding and did not hesitate to take my dog. He was really excited to be around kids and other pets. I really appreciated the updates given and pictures sent to me to confirm he was enjoying his time. Would highly recommend and will return.”
About: Hey I’m Jen! I love all animals and I know how important it is to find someone who cares when you need help! I have had animals my whole life and grew up in the country with horses, goats, dogs, cats, rabbits and ducks! I previously worked as a veterinary technician and have been running this business since 2021. I currently have 6 fur children, 2 horses and 4 working dogs. Helping animals is a passion of mine. So when I see a wandering, lost critter, you better believe I’m picking them up and getting them home! I am a working mom of two ages 14 & 12 who both love animals and help out a lot. When you board with me your fur babies are always taken care of. They can run in the huge backyard, swim in the dog pool, lay in the shade, play with the toys and go on walks during the day, then have their own private space at night to sleep. I am currently working a 48/96 rotating schedule so I have a lot of availability in between those days. I will always do all that I can to fit your pet care needs into my schedule. I have a fully fenced large backyard, private kennel space for each dog for sleeping, eating and rotation with those that are in heat, intact or don’t get along with others. In your home, I will always go above and beyond to meet your wishes and keep things as close to normal operations for your pet as possible to avoid disruption to their lives.
“Brooklyn was great. We had a bit of a health emergency with the dog not related to her and she handled it well. She had good communication throughout and provided good updates.”
“Isela is awesome. I left my two dogs with her for a long weekend. She sent me daily pics and updates that I really appreciate. Great care and attention to my fur babies.”
“We needed to find someone to care for our dog for about a week while we visited family in FL. I read Mckel's reviews and thanks to everyone I knew she would be a good fit for my dog and I have been entirely pleased. She has sent pictures when requested and I can tell our girl was excited and happy. I appreciate this family for taking the utmost care of our girl. Would definetly use her again for future trips and recommend her for the care of your loved animals! 5 stars +!”
“Megan was very professional yet welcoming. My dog had such a good time with Megan, it was hard to get my pup back into my truck to go home. I would recommend Megan and hope she's available to watch my dog in the future.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in West Haven is $40
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Haven
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!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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.
