“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”
“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!”
“Super helpful with some last-minute cat feedings! I had some video instructions that ended up not going through in time for her first visit, and Jessica was able to figure it all out like a pro.”
“Jen was so wonderful with my cat, Eloise! Will definitely be booking with her again if I need pet sitting in the future. Very careful and attentive with my somewhat temperamental, sassy kitty! Thank you Jen!!”
About: I've loved animals all of my life and I have 2 cats but, I also know how to take care of dogs. Animals are a passion of mine. I do work but, I'll have time to be with your dogs. I am looking for some bonding time with dogs and to be outside with them. I have everything my pets need and I would make sure I am able to take care of your pets and make sure they have everything they need.
“We just had another amazing experience with Emily and her stellar cat care! Our cats love her and we know that they are in wonderful hands every time she helps to care for them :)”
“Andrea is wonderful! She was able to help on a very short notice and even extended the time of her visit. She was so sweet and understanding of my crazy 6mo old puppy! We can’t wait to use Andrea again”
About: Caring for animals has been a constant part of my life. I grew up in a home that always had two dogs at a time, and before moving out, my family had raised six wonderful dogs together. From energetic pups to older companions, I’ve experienced the full range of what it means to care for dogs through different stages of life. I currently share my home with two special-needs cats, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. Managing medications, monitoring behavior changes, and creating a calm, safe environment are all things I take seriously. My primary goal when caring for your pet is simple: I want them to feel happy, secure, and relaxed while you’re away. I also know how important peace of mind is for owners. I’m communicative, reliable, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and cared for. I treat every animal with gentleness, respect, and the kind of attention I would want for my own pets. I work remotely in IT for a nonprofit organization, which gives me a very flexible weekday schedule. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy having some furry company during the week. Whether that means a midday walk to break up my workday or a fuzzy companion nearby while I’m at my desk. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to structure my schedule around walks, feeding times, medication needs, or check-ins. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches, and you can expect consistent updates while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your routines and instructions carefully. I follow feeding schedules, medication needs, walking routines, and house rules closely so your pet’s world feels as consistent and familiar as possible while you’re away. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident everything is going smoothly. If your pet stays in my home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. They will have their own dedicated space in my finished basement office that is clean, hazard-free, and separate from my cats. This allows visiting pets to relax without feeling overwhelmed, and ensures everyone stays safe and stress-free. The space includes a comfortable couch just for them, plenty of room to stretch out, and a calm environment away from household noise. I’m home during the day, so they’ll receive regular supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention, balanced with quiet time to rest.
“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!”
“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!”
“Aidan took amazing care of our pets while we were away. The attention to detail was outstanding. I appreciate his flexibility and excellent care not only of our pets, but he looked out for our delivered packages and mail without being asked. We were very satisfied with his services and will definitely use him again.”
About: **Moving Out of New Haven end of June 2026** I've been a cat mom for 5+ years and a dog aunt for 6+ years. Earning a cat's love and a dog's cuddle are both incredibly rewarding experiences that I've been blessed with many times. I hope to experience such love with your loved ones! I am currently unemployed so Monday through Friday is generally flexible besides a few commitments that are consistent each week. For weekends, I'm typically most flexible on Sundays. I typically start my days at 8am and end around 8pm but again, the hours are flexible- please just reach out! I'm a homebody so to get some fresh air, I run around downtown New Haven 3x a week for 2-3 miles (generally Mon, Wed, & Fri). On days I don't run, I go on 5-10min walks. When I'm not job hunting, I am either baking bread, knitting, or watching anime. I am unavailable on: Mondays & Wednesdays after 6PM, Tuesdays between 5-7PM, Fridays between 4PM-7:30PM Most Saturdays (family & partner visit often!) I like to meet every cat/dog parent(s) beforehand, even if it is just for a few minutes. This helps me understand what is expected of me as the caretaker and if there is anything for me to be aware of. For example, I have a fur nephew who eats anything so he has to walk with a muzzle and I've had a fur niece who takes specific medications at different times of the day. I also always love seeing the parents with their loved ones because it gives me an idea of what type of interactions I'd be having with their loved ones. I care about cleanliness and will make sure the home is left exactly how you leave it. I also respect any dietary restrictions if there are any in the household. Lastly, as a cat mom herself, I care about receiving communication from those who are taking care of my beloved, so I enjoy updating parents with photos and how their loved ones are doing. Please let me know if this is something you'd like me to do!
“Emily dropped in once a day to check on our two cats for several days while we were away. She is EXCELLENT with communication. We never had a doubt that our cats werent getting enough love with Emily. 10/10 would ask Emily to cat-sit again! Thanks Emily!”
Edgewood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lamisa was an excellent cat sitter. She was very friendly and easy to communicate with, and genuinely good with cats. She was consistently on time during each visit. I truly appreciated the reliability and care they provided and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable and kind pet sitter.
Melissa was wonderful with our cats! I've always been hesitant to leave them with someone who hasn't previously experienced them, due to their special food needs and daily meds, but Melissa made them seem like no big deal. We arrived home to two well-cared for cats :) I would absolutely book Melissa again and recommend her to others!
Jassmyne went above and beyond caring for our two cats. She sent photos of her playing with them, cleaning up when that wasn’t even asked, and was extremely detailed in her report cards when leaving them for the day. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting service!
Sara is very attentive and conscientious which makes her trustworthy. She was flexible in scheduling to meet everybody's needs. She took really good care of my cat. I could tell, because when my cat has had a good sitter, she is glad to see me when I get home but not frantic for my attention. Finally, Sara got my cat to play in a way I haven't been able to do (and still can't!) which goes to show that she is a true cat person. (I'm sure she takes good care of dogs, too.) I recommend Sara without hesitation.
Christopher did a fantastic job taking care of Boomer over the past two days. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure Boomer was comfortable and happy. I really appreciated the updates and the attention he gave throughout the stay. I’d absolutely recommend Christopher to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter!
Carrie was a fantastic sitter for our two cats. She played with high-energy kitten every time she visited, and she made sure to pay careful attention and give love to our older cat as well. Both of our cats seemed very happy and content when we returned home!
