About: What Sets me Apart? Love, Experience, and Trust. I'm just not a dog walker — I'm a lifelong animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. We know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust when you can’t be there. What makes me different is simple: I lead with care. I don’t rush through walks or treat this like a numbers game. Every dog I work with gets our full attention, patience, and affection — because that’s what they deserve. I take the time to learn your dog’s routines, quirks, and comfort zones. Whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and sensitive, I adjust to their needs and make sure they feel safe, understood, and happy while you’re away. This isn’t just a service — it’s a relationship built on trust, reliability, and compassion. Because when you leave your dog with someone, you’re not just handing over a leash — you’re handing over peace of mind. And I take that seriously. Hi there! I’m available for pet sitting after 3:30 PM on weekdays and open on weekends. I work full-time during the day but make your pet’s care a top priority when I’m off. If you’re looking for reliable, compassionate care in the afternoons or weekends, I’d love to help! Caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—is something I take to heart. Every pet is unique, so I tailor my care based on their routine, needs, and personality. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, play, and rest. In a client’s home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible, keeping pets comfortable and stress-free in their familiar space. My focus is always on making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for, just like family.
“This was our second time having Melissa cat sit, and again she took great care of our cats! She gave medications and had no problems working with our somewhat difficult cat. I always hope she’s available when we travel!”
About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs and cats. My responsibilities have included feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes and living areas, administering medications when needed, and ensuring pets receive plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I am attentive to each pet's individual needs and prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I am reliable, patient, and committed to providing loving, responsible care while owners are away. I’m currently unemployed while my children are in daycare and after school programs. Outside of appointments I’m free spending time with my cats and my females kittens I currently have 2 black cats. My female whom I rescued recently was pregnant and had 6 babies(3 weeks old) I’ve also had dogs and cats in my past. I love animals. My home is clean and organized.
“Courtney is an absolutely wonderful, trustworthy, caring cat-sitter. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her and to continue working with her as my periodic sitter. She has a lovely presence and a calming energy that my cats absolutely gravitate to--she immediately gained their trust and mine. Courtney is responsive and communicative, which really sets me at ease--especially when I've needed to take longer trips away from my two cats. I cannot recommend her more highly!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own. I'm comfortable with walks for leash-trained dogs, playtime, feeding, and providing plenty of love and attention. I can administer oral medications, such as pills, but I'm not comfortable giving injections. I believe in following each dog's routine, using the commands they're familiar with, and creating a calm, positive, and low-stress environment so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm currently a full-time remote student, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide reliable care, walks, playtime, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day. Because I spend most of my time at home, I can give pets the attention, patience, and companionship they deserve while keeping their routines as consistent as possible. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I care for every pet according to their individual routine and their owner's instructions. I take the time to learn each pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and preferences to help them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I provide plenty of attention, enrichment, and patience while respecting each animal's personality and boundaries. My goal is to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care while respecting each pet's unique needs.
“Jen is a great sitter as always and is our go to sitter! She does a great job keeping Nico’s litter and food areas clean, and sends cute videos at every visit! Definitely recommend”
About: Unlike busy kennels or multi-pet sitters, I focus on your dog’s unique routine, preferences, and personality — making them feel safe, loved, and stress-free. Your pup won't be in a crate or kept from living their best possible doggy life. 😊 I am currently looking forward to doing house-sitting, walking, and drop-ins. I love dogs, but I can't have one of my own because of my apartment. I truly enjoy the company of furry friends, so this is my way of showing love to them and giving families peace of mind when they need it. Your furry friend will feel like royalty in their own home. He or she will get all the belly rubs they want. I don’t own any pets, so they will get my undivided attention and love.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I have 2 dogs now - one senior who is slow and needs lots of care and the other is young and active. I’ve watched and walked dogs for friends and family for the past 20 years. I’d love to help you with your family’s furry friend. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I’m generally home on the weekends and love to take my dogs for long walks every day. I am available to come let your dog out, take your dog for a walk or jog, or whatever else is needed during the day.

“Mikayla and Justin are simply great. They took great care of my dog Thelma, who can be very skiddish as she is a rescue. Mikayla and Justin spent ample time letting Thelma warm up to them before taking her out for a walk. I would 10/10 recommend them for any pet care and I will definitely be booking them again for Thelma!”
About: I’ve grown up with all types of animals my entire life. From dogs and cats to birdies and bunnies, I love them all! I have been blessed to share life with my yorkie-poo for the past 14 years. I’ve had to learn how to give him daily oral medications, eye drops and ear drops to keep him healthy and lively! I’d give the same love, care and attention to your fur babies as well! I am a school bus driver so from the hours of 6-10:30am and 1:30-4:30pm I am unavailable. However, I am quick to respond to any availability scheduling questions you make have! I currently live in a house with a brick-fenced in yard with 1 social senior pup (who doesn’t mind to be crated if need be) however I would love to care for your pet wherever they feel comfortable!

I am very satified with her service. I like to recommend her to everyone.”
“Aimee has come and some drop in visits snd walks a few times now with our 12 week old puppy and she's been wonderful! Professional, on time, knowledgeable. Denahi loves her with Aimee and will definitely keep booking in the future. I feel comfortable and confident with my puppy in her hands!”
“Stephanie is great. My kitties are very antisocial but Stephanie always finds them so she can send me pictures so I know they are ok. She goes above and beyond keeping the kitty areas clean. She is very reliable. I highly recommend her.”
About: I've worked professionally with your K9 companions for the past 10 years! I've also worked with cats, exotic animals (small animals, reptiles, birds, etc..) and aquatics. Chickens and ducks, as well! (I’ve owned my own) I was a dog groomer for 7 years, worked in an animal hospital for 1 year, and I've had pets my whole life. Every time I meet a new furry friend, I always treat them like they're my own family. I'd like to say almost every client I have feels comfortable with me and trusts me with their pet(s), which makes me feel very grateful for such great owners that I have the pleasure of working with! I've worked and I'm very aware of pets that have disabilities (physical, blind, deaf, etc..), any allergies (food or seasonal), senior (any breed), and I'm very good with pets that have anxiety or aggression. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at your convenience! I look forward to hearing from you. I currently work full time Monday through Friday, but have time after work (3:30-4pm) and during the weekends for animal care! If there are special requests where you need something during the week, I could definitely look over my schedule to see if it could work! I have a small fenced in back patio area at my apartment that can offer fresh air with the safety. There are also two wall-to-ceiling clear gates in the apartment that prevent anyone from getting into mischief!

Dog 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!!!
Hannah was so patient and wonderful with our dog, Daisy, who has become more anxious around new people as she has gotten older. Hannah went above and beyond to make Daisy comfortable and ensure she got a safe walk. We would definitely use her again for dog walks or dogsitting!
Emily makes Cozmo so comfortable and happy, he smiles around her. He usually only shows that big smile after he does his favorite thing, which is catching a frisbee. She is responsible, reliable, and answers right away when you check in with her. She kept his water dish full and even made him more fresh broccoli, ready for his future meals when I returned. I would highly recommend her and have already referred her to my friends.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a East Haven stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in East Haven choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in East Haven with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
