“Keely was great! She came by to meet the boys prior to our vacation and checked in regularly letting us know how they were doing. She was kind and attentive and took all our notes in stride. We would definitely recommend!”
“Sarah was wonderful! I had her take care of my two cats while I was away for over a week and she provided pictures and a very detailed report card for each visit. I will definitely be having Sarah take care of my cats in the future. Highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“This is the second time we’ve worked with Olivia and she’s lovely! She was super attentive to the kitties and the house - saved us a saga with burst pipes thanks to how thorough she is.”
“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.”
“Emily was fantastic. Very friendly, and comforting- my cats loved her right away. Her updates were wonderful, and she went above and beyond cleaning a hairball 😭. Highly recommend ☺️”
“Atlas was absolutely amazing! He took fantastic care of my little guy, had a kind presence, and I appreciated he was patience with my last minute request and schedule adjustments. I would definitely book with Atlas again!”
“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”
“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!”
“Took great care of our pups, who took to her immediately. She kept us updated really well with texts and photos while we were gone (especially since it was the first time leaving them.) Would highly recommend.”
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.
“Sandra was great!! My boy Logan is super skeptical with new people and it takes a little while for him to warm up, but she took her time with him and made him feel comfortable enough for their walk. I will definitely be reaching out to her in future! ☺️”
“Emily was incredible! She took such good care of Luna, our new foster german shepherd when we had to go out of town for work. She was responsive, responsible, and brought her wealth of experience with dogs to her care. We would absolutely ask for Emily's services 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!
About: i worked at a dog daycare for a few years while my dog was a puppy and i loved it so much! i love animals and love connecting with them. i appriciate this app so much bc i myself used to have a full time job that needed me to need pet sitters for my job.. i always got such amazing people to come take care of drax & rocket. i want others to feel the same with me as i take care of theirs! i want to transition into dog walking full time! so as i am part time at my job i have alot of open time to help others! i will follow owners instructions on what the animals can and can’t do! i will prioritize mental stimulation as well as exercise to make sure they are exerting all their energy in their time with me so they can sleep the times we / their owners are apart!
“Diana was excellent to work with, from beginning to end. We had a relatively short timeline before going out of town but Diana was very prompt in her communication, notes about our dog and the walks they went on were clear, and we felt very comfortable with her coming into our home while away. We would definitely work with Diana again in the future. Highly recommended.”

Even compared with the other sitters we’ve hired on Rover (who’ve always been good), Charlotte was particularly outstanding. She was very responsive, reliable, and compassionate in caring for our cat Cocoa while we were away on vacation. Not only did she provide detailed, articulate feedback for each visit (check-ins were twice daily) but she also took excellent pictures. Would hire her again in a heartbeat.
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.
Jordan was a fantastic sitter who went above and beyond. In the initial meet and greet she asked all the right questions, and during the booking she always kept me up to date with detailed notes about my cat and happy photos. She was very accommodating when I had to extend my trip, and she was on top of things when some of the food ran low during the extended time. My cat is very happy and loves her! Will definitely book again as a trusted sitter.
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!
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.
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in East Haven on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,187 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across East Haven. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
