“Katherine was amazing, especially with my senior dog! She gave him his medication at the correct time, took him on lots of walks, and dealt with his separation anxiety well. I could tell she really cared and that they both enjoyed each other's company. She sent tons of cute pictures! She also did a great job of feeding my cat, who predictably decided to hide every time Katherine visited. But she wasn't alarmed by the lack of cat sightings and just reported on her feedings and how much food she had eaten between visits. I would definitely hire Katherine to petsit again! She was great!”
“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!”
“I cannot stress enough how wonderful, caring, and kind Moe is. We trust her 100% with our dog and wouldn't use anyone else to take care of Ruby. We truly appreciate you Moe!”
“Carl (my cat) was so well looked after while I was away! We did drop in visits and as per usual I came home to a happy kitty. :) I received daily updates and cute pics while I was away - highly recommend!”
“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 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.
“Jacqueline took great care of our cat when we were away for a week. She is super nice and was always on time and our cat really enjoyed her company while we were gone.”
“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!!”
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!
“Chris was a lifesaver! I needed a cat sitter last minute and he promptly responded, went to see my cat, fed her, played with her, and sent me pictures. Thank you Chris!”
“Reilly checked in on my cat Charlie during my recent vacation. She went the extra mile to make sure Charlie was well taken care of, always spending extra time just to sit and pet her. I could not be more pleased with Reilly and will look forward to scheduling her again for my next vacation.”
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.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who has been surrounded by cats my entire life. Caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. I have experience dog sitting for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I'm also comfortable caring for pets with special needs, including administering medications and following detailed care instructions to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable while you're away. As an educator, I've also cared for classroom pets throughout my career, including fish and reptiles. In addition, I have experience caring for pet birds. Because of this, I'm comfortable caring for a wide variety of animals—not just dogs and cats. Whether your family includes a playful puppy, an independent cat or birds! I'll make sure they receive attentive, compassionate care. I'm dependable, patient, and have plenty of energy for long walks, playtime, and keeping active pets engaged. If your pet prefers a quieter pace, I'm just as happy providing companionship, cuddles, and a calm, reassuring presence. As a teacher, I'm organized, responsible, and an excellent communicator. You can count on me to follow your pet's routine carefully and keep you updated with photos and messages, so you'll always have peace of mind while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and can't wait to meet your furry, feathered, or scaly family members! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work during the day, so I'm available most weekdays after 4:00 PM for evening walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and medication administration if needed. I'm also available on many weekends and can often accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has unique routines, preferences, and needs, and I take the time to learn what helps them feel safe and comfortable. Whether it's maintaining their regular feeding schedule, administering medication, cleaning litter boxes or habitats, or following specific care instructions, I'll treat your pet with the same love and attention I would give my own. I believe in open communication and will provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away. I respect my clients' homes, keep them clean and secure, and make sure doors, gates, and enclosures are safely closed before I leave. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives both you and your pets complete peace of mind.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Haven
Heather and Christopher were absolutely wonderful with our dog while we were traveling. They were communicative, took excellent care of our dog, and kept us in the loop while we were away about how Scamp was doing during the drop in visits. They worked with our scheduling needs without hesitation. Couldn't give a more positive review and we would unhesitatingly book them in the future.
Maria took excellent care of my dog, Sully! She was prompt, has excellent communication skills, asked all the important questions, is clearly very knowledgeable about pets, immediately developed a great rapport with Sully and did a great job! We will definitely ask her to take care of Sully again. Thanks, Maria!
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.

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.

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.
