“My fur baby requires a great deal of attention due to some health challenges. This makes me very careful about who cares for him. I am so Blessed to have Liza taking care of my lil guy. I would highly recommend her to people that need puppy ? care”

“My pup Pepper had a great day with Mari while I was at work! Pepper can be very anxious, but Mari calmed her down in no time! She sent me lots of photos and updates throughout the day!”

“Andrea was just wonderful. It was my first time leaving them with a sitter. I knew I could trust her with my babies right off the bat. She’s sweet and caring and communicated with me the whole time because I was anxious being away from them. It’s easy to see that she is a dog person to the core. Highly recommend!”

“Zuly and her family took wonderful care of my poodle, Babette. She is a great communicator, and understands the needs of dogs from years of experience. Her home was neat, immaculate, and felt very welcoming. I look forward to using her services in the future!”

“Brianna took great care of Peanut. She was responsive in communication and kept me updated with photos of Peanut. I was a bit late in sending Peanut and early in picking up Peanut, but Brianna accommodated my schedule. Peanut seems to have made friends with Brianna's dog and is very happy when being picked up. Peanut also seems to have had a comfortable time on Brianna's bed.”

“Jordin was absolutely amazing with Ivy! She was so sweet, caring, and attentive, and I felt completely comfortable knowing Ivy was in her care. She kept me updated and made sure Ivy was happy and comfortable throughout her stay. It was clear that Jordin genuinely cared about Ivy and treated her like her own. I would definitely book with Jordin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”

“Max seemed to have a great first day of daycare at Mariana's. He came come happy and tired. Mariana sent lots of pictures and communicated promptly throughout the entire booking process. Will definitely book again!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. My first dog was an Alaskan husky and I have walked him, fed him, and bathed him. Throughout the years I have taken in 2 more dogs and have given them the same care as my first dog. I also have extensive experience taking care of other pet animals such as quails and rabbits and watching my aunts dogs whenever she goes on vacation. I can fit dog walking, sitting, and/or caring into my schedule at anytime! I am super flexible in regards to time and place. For dog grooming, I am available after 5pm Monday through Friday, anytime on weekends :) I feed my dogs 3 times a day, and give them treats as a reward for positive reinforcement. I also bathe them once a week & take them walking right after they are done eating. I have taken care of my aunts dogs by staying in her home or caring for them in my home. I have services such as dog beds, leashes, different kinds of dog food and treats, and a few clothes!
About: I've been a dog owner for the last 20 years. All my dogs have been rescues, several have been shy dogs that needed extra TLC. I have a special talent connecting with shy dogs and helping them come out of their shell. I also love working with extroverted dogs who love to play and interact. I have a full-time mostly WFH job. I'm available for after-hour drop ins and walks, weekend visits, overnights, and boarding. I know how hard it can be to find petcare (especially during off hours) and I'd like to help with that. My home is safe and secure with a small fenced in backyard away from the road. I have two dogs to keep your pets company. I can help with crating your dog as well. Our home is quiet, serene, and private.
“This was my first time using Rover and Cheyanne made everything really easy! From the meet and greet to the actual first day of day care, Cheyanne answered messages quickly, was so kind, and was great with our pup.”

About: While I may be new to Rover, I’m definitely not new to caring for animals! I’ve looked after pets for family, friends, and neighbors over the years — including walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of cuddles. As well as my own pets, such as cats, dogs, turtles & guinea pigs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I always take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine. Whether your pup loves long walks or just wants someone to hang out with, I’m here to give them the love and attention they need while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. You can count on me to be punctual, responsible, and communicative — with plenty of updates and photos to keep you in the loop! My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved — just like they would with you. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention they deserve — whether that’s sticking to feeding times, giving medications, a sleepover or just spending time to keep them happy and comfortable. I always make it a priority to follow each pet’s routine closely, so they feel safe and at ease when their owners are away. When pets stay in my home, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable — just like part of the family. I provide a clean, calm environment where they can relax, play, and stick to their normal routine. And when I care for pets in your home I treat it with respect, making sure everything stays clean and as I found it. Whether it’s giving medication, tidying up food/water bowls, or spending quality time with your pet, I handle each visit with care and attention. I know how important it is to stay connected while you’re away, so I provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind.
“Noemi is incredible! She made Blue and I feel right at home. Her children are also incredibly sweet and loving. Blue had a fantastic time and took advantage of her large fenced in yard. I can tell he had a great time as he took a hearty nap as soon as we got home :) Thank you for all you do Noemi! Looking forward to return.”


About: I bring over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. From newborn puppies to Yorkies, German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, and Great Danes, I’ve raised, trained, and supported dogs at every stage of life. I genuinely love what I do, and I treat every dog in my care like family, providing a safe, attentive, and nurturing environment you can trust. 🐾 Pet care is a natural and consistent part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure I have plenty of time for walks, feedings, playtime, and one-on-one attention throughout the day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to be flexible with different care needs, whether that’s early walks, midday check-ins, or overnight care. I also make sure dogs are never left alone for extended periods and receive regular supervision and engagement. Because I genuinely enjoy being around dogs, I prioritize creating a routine that keeps them active, comfortable, and well cared for while fitting seamlessly into my day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm, structured environment in every home I work in, whether it’s mine or my client’s. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that feels consistent and stress-free for them. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-safe space with plenty of supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, and playtime. I’m mindful of feeding schedules, allergies, and any special instructions to ensure each dog stays healthy and comfortable. Dogs are never left unattended for long periods, and I create a relaxed environment where they can feel at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick closely to their established routines to keep their pet at ease. I also provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away. With my 30+ years of experience, I’m attentive to behavior, quick to notice changes, and always prepared to handle situations calmly and responsibly. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and secure at all times.
About: I follow all rules to better care for your dogs/children! I can baby them if allowed to, so they wont feel alone away from home! I am free all the time and I work online! I can take them out at their scheduled times, you let me know their needs. I have a friendly dog (that’s spayed) who’s pretty playful but can also be calm when she needs to. I have a pretty large space for them to roam and I can always take walks at parks nearby! You let me know any dietary restrictions you have for your child or any triggers, that way I can know in advance on how to be a better caregiver to your pet!
About: I currently have a dog, so I am well aware of how to take care of them. I have also had cats in the past, and have been walking dogs through various apps for over 5 years. I am currently on sabbatical, so am home all day! Schedule is flexible, I take my own dog on 3 40 minute walks a day and to a field to play fetch at least once. Hiking is usually once or twice a week. I choose to care for other people's pets like they are my own, I absolutely love animals and don't see it as a chore but something I enjoy!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New Haven
Anthony put my mind at ease. This was our first time using his services & we are very happy with how Rambo was when we picked him up. This was a preparation for his 10-day boarding and we are very pleased that we did this. He updated us with photos and videos☺️

We had a last minute need for day care for our Bassett hound puppy and Stephanie was able to help us out. She communicated clearly and provided us with many photos and good feedback. Our pup had a great experience and was tired out when she came home. Stephanie gave her excellent care.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your New Haven commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 916 sitters in New Haven, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
