I have no other pets, so your pet will feel comfy and get all the attention they deserve. My environment is usually quiet and peaceful.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - New Haven
Jacqueline was a perfect sitter! She promptly responded to our last-minute request to care for our dog and cat. She is so personable! She followed all instructions and handled everything independently, giving us total peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely reach out to Jacqueline again!
Lauren was an amazing caregiver for my three cats over a long weekend. I had to go out of town and leave behind two very nervous cats who hide whenever anyone is around, and one senior foster cat with an unlimited appetite for companionship and affection. Lauren was able to take on the job on short notice, sending updates with sweet photos of the senior cat while providing for all their needs. She was communicative, reliable, and took excellent care of the cats. I will definitely reach out to Lauren in the future, and recommend her highly.
Mary Rose was absolutely incredible! She went above and beyond in every way and genuinely cared about Finn’s happiness and well-being. It was clear that she treated him as if he were her own, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets. We will absolutely be booking with her again!

Zhiyu was amazing! She was incredibly kind, responsible, and attentive with our pets. She followed all of our instructions carefully, kept us updated, and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. We came home to happy pets and everything well taken care of. We would definitely ask her to help us again. Highly recommend her!
Pauline was fantastic. She was professional from our very first message, easy to coordinate with, and clearly comfortable and confident around cats. She facetimed and photos during each visit, which put my mind at ease while I was away, and I could tell my cats were relaxed. Honestly, couldn't have asked for a better sitter. My cats loved her, and I'll definitely be booking her again next time I am away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in New Haven is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 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 463 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across New Haven. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
