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!
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have two adult dogs now with my wife that I have raised since they were puppies. I have experience with rescue dogs also. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I have a full day available to help with all of your pet’s needs. I am available during the week and weekend. I can take them for walks, outdoor breaks, and playtime whenever needed. I am great at staying on an animal’s schedule and can be available to help at any time! I take your pet’s needs and happiness seriously.
About: About Me Hi! I’m a recently retired teacher who loves cats, dogs, and the joy they bring to everyday life. I’ve owned both cats and dogs since age seven and truly enjoy spending time with animals, learning their personalities, and giving them plenty of attention and care. I currently have my own cat, so I’m unable to board pets in my home. However, I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort and familiar surroundings of their own home and have schedule flexibility to provide pet visits that are convenient for you and your pet(s). I have recently retired from teaching and moved from Florida to Connecticut to be close to my son, daughter-in-law, and beautiful new granddaughter. My schedule is very flexible and I would love to meet some new pets to give my care and attention. Retirement has given me a flexible schedule, and I’d love to help care for your pets while you’re away. I’m available for: - Overnight stays in your home - Drop-in visits - Walks and playtime - Feeding, companionship, and routine care As a former teacher, I’m responsible, patient, dependable, and attentive to details. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pets—and your home—are in caring hands
“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.”
“Alyssa always provides our cats with the best care! She has really gotten to know each of their personalities and needs. I feel a lot better when we need to go out of town now that we have found Alyssa to help!”
“Katherine provides great care to my cat while I was away. She took the time to get to know her temperament and won her over with head scratches and special treats. Katherine provided thoughtful updates and photos daily. Having Katherine take care of Rory gave me peace of mind while I was away.”
About: Hi there! I’m a current YSN student doing pet care on the side. I have always had lots of animals (currently two cats) and always love to meet new furry friends of all shapes and sizes :)I would love to work with you and your animals providing the best care possible! At the moment I have fully open availability and keep my rover schedule up to date! Anything changes will be kept up to date. . I have a lot of experience with my own animals and grew up taking care of the neighborhood dogs and cats as well. Since I've been around a lot of different animals with a lot of different personalities, I can make any animal feel comfortable around me and quickly pick up on each of their individual needs.
“I can leave my cat with Jen and feel confident that she will be given the attention and care she deserves. Jen is an all-star, and I am fortunate to have her taking care of my companion.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover with a calm, attentive nature, I treat every pet like my own—giving them personalized care, patience, and affection. What sets me apart is my ability to quickly build trust with both pets and their owners, creating a stress-free experience for everyone. Whether it's playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I adapt to each pet's unique personality and needs to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away I have open availability as I’m taking a gap semester off of college. Therefore pet care would take up a good amount of my daily routine. I treat every client’s home with the utmost respect, just as I would my own. I make sure to follow any specific instructions given, keep spaces clean and organized, and maintain a quiet, calm environment for your pet
“This is my second booking with Zuleima and she is great with my two fur babies. Does exactly what you need and more, which is very much appreciated! Definitely will continue to book her when I have to go away.”
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).
“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 am a Marine and Army veteran with a passion for dogs. I love all dogs no matter what size they are. I’m a decent sized guy so hyperactive or stronger dogs are no problem for me. The more playful, the better. If your pet loves to run, I’ll run right along with them. If your pet is more inclined to be on the inside, I’ll be right there. I’ll take care of all needs. Please Note: Although I love all pets especially dogs, I’m unfortunately allergic to cats. My most available times are on the weekend but I am also available during the week and can fit almost any time into my schedule. I will provide your pet with all the attention they’ll need plus more. I will be able to take them on walks around your neighborhood, play games with them, feed them, and give them their needed bathroom breaks. The house rules you have established for them will be maintained at all times.
About: Hey, you can call me Lay! I’m an experienced pet care provider and work-from-home dog mom who loves providing full-time care for fur babies. I have experience with pets of all sizes—from Pit Bulls and Huskies to Italian Greyhounds and Dachshunds. I provide customized care based on your pet’s needs, whether that means early mornings, late nights, medication administration, or support for reactive pets. In my care, you can count on your pet being treated with the best intentions, and patience. I always provide plenty of walks, fresh water, food, and treats. I’m flexible, reliable, and committed to making sure your dog feels safe and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have an 8-year-old Poodle mix, and a 3-year-old Schnoodle. My dogs are friendly and up to date on vaccinations. As a pet owner myself, I treat every pet who enters my home as one of my own! My only two ask’s are: Please don’t ring the doorbell, my dogs loose their heads. Please let me know you eta as soon as you can, so I can be best prepared for you and your pet’s pick up/drop off. Let’s chat! I walk my dogs around 7/8am with breakfast. Mid walks happen between 12-3pm. Last walks happen between 5-8pm with dinner. Bedtime is 9/10pm. In my home I am always aware of their surroundings. They will have my pets and I to keep them company. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean, supervised environment. In a client’s home, I maintain their normal routine with feeding, walks, companionship, and medication if needed. My goal is always to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable.
About: I have had pets since I can remember, so I understand that they really are family. I promise to give your pet the same love and care that I have always given my own! I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pet during the workday. I take my dog for a walk in the morning, and then periodic potty breaks throughout the day. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of space to run and play, or maybe just lounge. I also have plenty of toys (and treats) available!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Haven
Claudia was flexible about scheduling and met with me due to a last minute change in my travel plans wherein I could not take my dog with me. That in itself was a game changer. An added bonus was that my dog bonded with her almost instantly. My girl is usually very protective of our home but Claudia was great with her. Even my cat, who is extremely timid and usually hides until new people are gone, came out to check Claudia out which speaks volumes about her caring connection with animals. Claudia sent me wonderful photos daily of her outings with my dog, who looked very happy, giving me such peace of mind. Claudia is a very good communicator, making sure of my return date, where to leave the keys, and feeding schedules. She is trustworthy and all was in order when I returned. I was so pleased with her service.
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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - East Haven
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in East Haven is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $40 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,086 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across East Haven. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Haven. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
