“Shelby has been a wonderful sitter for my cat, Sage. She made her feel so comfortable she had a hard time leaving. Shelby is friendly, communicative, and shares lots of pictures. As hard as it is to leave Sage when I travel, I feel comfortable knowing she is in Shelby's care.”
“Grace was incredible!! And the kitties loved her, even the shy one. Thank you so much for watching them and will definitely recommend and book again in the future. Thank you for caring for our girls!”
“Yunwen was great with our cat, Nemo. She sent regular updates and communicated proactively. I was grateful when she was able to accommodate an additional drop-in after we had last-minute changes to our travel plan. I recommend her 100%, as she was reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy.”
“I used Gabriela to watch my kitty and it was a very pleasant experience. Gabriela always kept me updated with each house visit and took care of all the special needs my cat had. She was also very responsive and more than willing to help out with getting the keys to my roommate, etc. I would absolutely book with Gabriela again, and you should too!”
“Leah was a fantastic pet sitter! She took care of our two cats over Christmas and gave detailed updates everyday. This was our first time using Rover and we had a brief meet and greet beforehand that went very well. Leah is reliable and trustworthy - we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!!”
About: I've taken care of animals since I was a kid, and have always had dogs in my home growing up! I like to treat every pet as an individual and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I’m currently a student with a flexible schedule, so I am happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines. I always prioritize safety and communication with the owners. I’ll keep you updated with photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well-cared for. Most importantly, I genuinely love spending time with animals! I'm currently a Yale Law student so I have a flexible schedule for walks and care! I'm happy to help on weekdays and weekends. 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.
“Carole was great! Was very flexible with a nearly last-minute booking and took great care of our two cats, including administering medicine to one. She also took EXCELLENT pictures of them that my partner and I obsessed over while we were out of town. Would recommend her any time!!”
“Lamisa watched my two cats for over a week. One of them is an elderly boy, and I'm pretty sure he somehow gained weight under her care, which is a welcome change!”
“Jessica was very accommodating with my relatively short notice trip. One of my cats can be very shy but he felt comfortable enough to come for most of her visits. Everything looked great when I returned home. I would definitely use Jessica again!”
“Jaqueline did an amazing job watching our cat, Juniper! I was nervous to leave Juniper while we were on vacation but Jaqueline made me feel so calm and confident. I got adorable pictures everyday and an update. Jaqueline was wonderful to work with and took great care of our little Juniper!”
“Lorelei was wonderful! She did a meet and greet with the kitties before her check ins and spent extra time with them to make sure they were entertained and cared for. It was such a peace of mind to know they were well cared for while I was away. Will be booking her again!”
“Katherine was above and beyond my wildest expectations! I had never left my kittens with a stranger before and was super nervous. She did a meet and greet, sent me regualr updates (and the cutest pics), and made sure my girls were the number one priority. My kittens definitely fell in love with her and her daughter over the course of the week. I can't imagine a better sitter!”
About: Use olive69192 for a discount on your first booking 🌟 Hi! I’m Mercuri and I am a student at Yale studying art history. I have two cats of my own, olive and oil, and I’ve petsat rabbits in the past. When I got my cats they had giardia and ringworm from the shelter so I quickly got comfortable with applying meds orally & topically! I’m working remotely so will have time to play with your cats! I see them as part of my daily routine and let them play with me a lot. I work with indoor only cats, and clean the space multiple times a day, I often scoop the litter 3-4 times a day, and I try to wipe my own cats daily. I’m comfortable with applying meds orally.
“Alyssa provided amazing, compassionate, thoughtful care for my three cats and I felt so comforted being away knowing they were in great hands and receiving her daily updates. I will absolutely reach out to her for cat sitting in the future :)”
“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!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - New Haven
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.
Jacqueline was excellent! She did a wonderful job taking care of my senior cat, including administering multiple medications. She left detailed reviews, and my cat warmed up to her very quickly. She is professional while also being very warm/friendly. I will definitely hire Jacqueline again!
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.
Lorelei was wonderful! She did a meet and greet with the kitties before her check ins and spent extra time with them to make sure they were entertained and cared for. It was such a peace of mind to know they were well cared for while I was away. Will be booking her again!
Jen has now looked after two "generations" of my cats, and she seemed to know exactly what I needed to see of my kitten during my first long trip away. (Lots of amazing action shots and some videos!) I wouldn't even consider anyone else as a Rover. Thank you Jen! ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in New Haven on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,440 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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 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.
