Thank you Azure, Jade and I are looking forward to more stays. ?”

“Lyndsey took great care of our dog while we were away. She has a great property that she took our dog on many walks on along with a fenced in back yard where our dog could play freely. Our dog came home a worn out pup! Lyndsey also texted daily with updates and pictures. It was the first time we used Rover, and she made it a great experience. We will rebook with her in the future!”
“One of the best! Ted was well taken care of during his stay. Great communication and pictures every day. I felt very comfortable leaving Ted with Agnatha and her family. No doubt in my mind I will use her again when needed. Extremely professional and unlike a lot of others she followed Ted's feeding restrictions. Thanks to Agnatha and her family!”

They even checked with us before leaving the dogs alone for a quick errand, which we really appreciated. They also have a sweet dog named Pepper, and Koji became friends with him right away. On top of that, they have a beautiful home with big backyard with plenty of space for the fur babies to roam around, play, and feel comfortable. Thank you so much, Izzy and Casey, for taking such wonderful care of Koji and Misty. We truly appreciate everything you did and wouldn't hesitate to book with you again!”

“I definitely recommend Kayla, she took care of my labrador puppy Arya for 4 nights. When I brought Arya she did not walk with her leash because she did not want to and when I went to look for her Kayla had taught her. Kayla take care of her with a lot of love, teach her new things, trained Arya and help her share with other dogs and cats. I am very satisfied and happy to be able to entrust the care of my baby Arya to such a committed person. Arya was really happy and have a great time, Kayla even give her new toys!!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience with Amara! My dog and cats absolutely loved their time with her! The house was clean, well kept, smelled wonderful, was filled with extra toys and supplies, beautiful yard.... everything was perfect! I felt like my fuzzy little ones didn't even want to go back home ? They had a wonderful time and Amara took sooooo many adorable pictures! Thank you so much Amara we will definitely be boarding with you again this summer!!! ❤”
“Evan and her family were perfect for for Peyton who is an Australian Shepherd. She exercised her, made sure she was very comfortable, provided updates on everything from daily activities to how well she was eating, and reassurance every day that Peyton was doing well and in good hands. Her kids and dogs played great with her too! I would definitely recommend letting Evan care for your dog as well!”
About: I am a college student returning home for the summer. I am not only looking to pet sit for money but also because I don't get an adequate time with animals at school and want to jam my summer with pet love! I will be working a job over the summer but I am home and will have breaks almost everyday. With notice I can also take off work to spend time with your pets. There are few times I will not be home between May 12th-August 15th. I have had dogs all my life and know how to care for a variety of breeds. My current dog actually has some special care taking needs so I know how to adapt to different dogs needs. I am an active person who would love to go on as many walks as needed and entertain your pet as needed.
About: I've been around dogs ever since I was a child. I rarely come across a dog that I don't like or that doesn't like me! I currently do dog sitting and walking for friends and family and would love to expand my services to others looking for high quality dog care. I work part-time so I usually have a very flexible schedule with a lot of availability. Mornings through afternoons are usually the best times . I meet the needs of the dog owner when watching dogs in a client's home. I understand that dogs can have varying needs/schedules. I feel comfortable giving dogs necessary medicines and meeting any special needs. I can go the extra mile to make sure your dog(s) are happy and safe. I've even saved a dog that fell in a pool once!

Melissa took our two pups on super short notice and they had the best time. She sent many updates with pictures which weren’t necessary but absolutely appreciated for anxiety ridden moms like me. Will definitely be using her again for future trips and am thankful for how well she took care of our dogs.

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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in New Haven can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their New Haven home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your New Haven.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Haven. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
You and your New Haven sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
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 IN 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
