“Kelli was a great cat-sitter for our three cats. She was dedicated and made sure to spend time with all of them. One of our cats needs medication twice a day and she was able to administer it to her easily. She also played with our two younger cats, who love attention. When we came home, they appeared well taken care of. Would definitely book her again!”
About: Trustworthy, local, and attentive, I have done pet care for family and friends over the course of many years. Having been certified in cat and dog first aid by the Red Cross, I'm equipped to handle an emergency if it occurs. From running with dogs to cuddling with cats, I'm happy to spend time with your furry family members! I work remotely full-time, which allows me a lot of flexibility for drop-ins that are close to home. I can visit anytime during the day, but prefer mornings or evenings to check in on pets. When taking are of pets, I like to build a rapport with them first to get a sense of their personality. Pets are part of the family, after all! Once we've built some trust, I take care of business first (make sure food and water is prepared, bathroom breaks completed/litter boxes emptied), then save time for playing!
“Emily is a fantastic caregiver for my furbaby; she is kind, thoughtful and really has the experience required to be the great petsitter she is. Thank you so much, Emily!! See you soon!”
“Joseph is great! This was our first time using Rover. Our cat Walter loved him! Joseph was always on time and sent us photos and updates promptly! Highly recommend”
“Olivia was very communicative, friendly, and did great with Yoshi and the cats! All the animals warmed up to her right away and she was able to manage Yoshi’s ridiculous puppy energy really well! Looking forward to booking with her again!”
“Sandra was a great find! I can’t recommend this dog walker enough! They truly love dogs and it shows in everything they do. They spent quality time playing with my dog and made sure he was completely taken care of, which gave me so much peace of mind and meant I didn’t have to rush home. My dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Extremely trustworthy, reliable, and kind — I’m so grateful to have found her!!”
“So appreciative of Grace and her care for my furbabies while I was away. I loved her check-ins and sweet photos she took of them and knew they were in great hands!!! Highly recommend!!”
“Heather is so reliable and nice! Send me pictures and how my lovely cat is doing. And even become friends with him in a few days! Wow he always get scared with strangers. Never thought he would get comfortable in just a few days! Will definitely come back to seek another drop in in the future.”
About: Ever since I was little, i’ve taken care of dogs that are stray as my own, i’ve raised my own dogs of many types of breeds including shitzu, pitbull, yorkie, etc. and i’ve known to take care of them in the serious moments when they’re sick and know how to handle medication, and in the best moments in playtime with non stop energy! At the moment, I am out of school for the summer and I am working part-time but with no set schedule, so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your babies, and I offer drop-ins as well. Just send me a message and we can figure something out! We used to crate our dogs but we’ve recently stopped, but I can do that if those are your rules. I take care of my own cat switching her litter box every 1-2 weeks, feeding her 2 times a day, I brush her fur and have toys for her as well! With my dogs, they also get fed 2 times a day, they get walked most days, and they have their own grass potty area, and they have plenty of toys (lol).
“Sarah was an incredible caretaker for our cat over the week we were away! She has a keen intuition that allows her to adjust her activities and how she approaches new cats during visits in ways that meet them where they’re at and helps them feel comfortable more quickly. She was super communicative, sending detailed updates and photos each day, and troubleshooted some feeding issues and even helped rectify the chaos our cat created with some houseplants while we were gone! It was clear from photos that our cat loved her visits and warmed up to her very quickly. Her love of animals and ability to care for them well is obvious and we came back to a very happy cat. We’d highly recommend her services!! Thank you Sarah!”
“Kaprice is a wonderful pet sitter. The enthusiasm she showed for my cats was deeply appreciated. She was highly responsive and flexible. At my request for detailed behavioral information about my two cats, she left me long notes about how they acted and played during her daily visits. She responded quickly to my inquiries during her visits as well, which was very comforting. I highly recommend her services.”
“Sejla is an excellent dog sitter, she is promptly came to take care of my dog in proffessional maner, she always wants to do extra work to meet and exceed her client expectation, additional ly, she always update my dog status and his behaviors/conditions as well. I am very satified with her service. I like to recommend her to everyone.”

“Anne-Marie is wonderful. My cat can be a little cautious when she meets new people, but at first sight, she walked right up to her asking for pets. She was on time every day and provided a variety of pictures to let me know my cat was in good hands. Would highly recommend!”
“I couldn’t have been more thankful for the service Bailee provided. She is a very caring individual and you can tell she has a love for animals. I felt relaxed and comfortable while being away from my fur baby. As this was the first trip I have been able to take I will be definitely rebooking with Bailee in the future! She was an amazing provider and very informative! Followed all directions perfectly!”
About: With over 10 years of experience as a dog owner and a year of caring for a cat, my deep love for animals drives everything I do. Having worked at Valley Shore Animal Welfare Center and currently working at Dan Cosgrove Animal Shelter, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals and understanding their unique needs.

You can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in great hands. My work schedule varies from month to month. For June, I work Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 7:30 AM to 12:30 PM, so I am unavailable during those hours. Outside of that time, I am happy to accommodate pet care requests whenever possible. Weekdays: Flexible mornings and evenings (e.g., 7 AM–10 AM & 4 PM–8 PM) Weekends: Most of the day (e.g., 9 AM–6 PM)- Flexible Last-Minute Requests: Often available for short notice visits/walk I care for pets with the same love and attention as I would my own, whether in my home or yours. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure they feel comfortable and secure by sticking to their familiar routines, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - East Haven
Sarah is always incredibly professional, communicative, and gives the best drop-in notes and photos! Always our go-to when we need someone to take care of our two cats and dog. Extra bonus points for always being able to medicate the weirdest, feistiest cat in the world!!!
Phoenix was incredible! Absolutely the best cat sitter that we've ever had! He was very attentive to our cat's needs, and he provided such detailed and thoughtful updates every day. Our cat bonded with him so easily. He fed her well, played with her, and kept her litter box very clean. More so, he's a really kind, considerate, honest, and communicative person. So grateful that we found him, and would 1000% recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
Dustin is the absolute best! It’s only because of him I was able to leave for two weeks and enjoy time with my loved ones for the holidays. He is trustworthy, consistent, and reliable. He was patient with my girl, Marshmallow, and accommodated to her needs. My family and I are so grateful for Dustin, and I plan to rebook him in the future.
Steven is friendly, punctual, followed our instructions, and went above and beyond. We (and our kitties) are thoroughly satisfied with his pet sitting. Our super shy cat who usually always hides even took a shine to him. 5 out of 5 stars, I would hire again and recommend!

As of July 2026, there are 1,438 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across East Haven. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 cat, 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.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
