About: I’ve taken care of family, friend’s, and neighbor’s dogs of all shapes and sizes! I absolutely love animals, and I’m willing to do whatever your furry friend needs. We have always had pets in our house, including one that needed long term care. If administering medication is what your pet needs, I’m more than familiar with it! I especially love big dogs, but like I said before…I love ALL animals, so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I’m available during the weekdays and most weekends, and I do want to add that I will be starting school at Butler in late August, so I will be relocating. I am able to do whatever your dog needs as long as it’s at your own home. We have two cats, and it wouldn’t be smart for me to bring them here. However, walking, feeding, light grooming, and cuddling are all services that I offer!

About: I have owned dogs my entire adult life and have taken courses in dog handling. Familiar with large breeds, have owned pitbulls, dobermans, Great Danes, etc. My previous two dogs were trained by me to be TRUE service animals, NOT emotional support animals, meaning for 12+ months I spent immense amounts of time training the dogs to preform specific tasks to aid me with my disability (disabled veteran). I am home full time and am more than willing to take your dogs to the beach, dog park, etc. and I work best with dogs who are okay to be off leash, as this give us more freedom to romp about. I have no issues with puppies, as I have owned/trained multiple in the past 8 years. Currently on summer break for school so my weeks are as free as can be! That being said, during the fall and winter I will be available, just less often! I am all about honoring what you and your pet needs! I am attentive to detail and would never do something that wasn't specifically discussed!

Amara was amazing! Even got my reclusive cat Soeren to come out for treats. Lily, of course, was her usual extroverted self and came out for lovies. So sad we only got to try her services once, but we will definitely recommend her to friends.

About: I've taken care of pets almost my entire life, the majority that I have taken care of are cats and dogs. I always make sure they get what they need such as food, water, exercise, play time, and attention. I always make sure that I take care of and treat them the way I treat my own. I am currently gaining a bachelor's degree in animal health and behavior. So I do know what to expect when it comes to a different variety of animals and their behaviors. Your pets are in safe hands. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, and I plan my schedule around each booking. I make sure pets receive consistent care, attention, and time, and I always follow their established routine to keep them comfortable. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I prioritize respecting their space and belongings. I only use items related to pet care and follow all household guidelines provided by the client. I always clean up after both myself and the pet, and I take pride in maintaining a clean, organized environment. Clients can feel confident knowing their home will be well cared for and left in excellent condition.

About: I have a dog of my own and understand the responsibility that comes with taking care of your pet. I’ve always had many of pets throughout my life and would love to add your pet to my extended family. I am looking forward to showing your pet the love and attention that all humans and pets need. I live an active lifestyle so I am always out and about taking my dog on a walk. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or night I will be walking with my pupper and would love for your pet to come along for the ride. I am a frequent attendee at the dog parks and as long as your dog is vaccinated I’m sure they would have a grand time there as well. I can feed, walk, run, and even pick up your dogs poop. I understand the responsibility that comes with pet care as I have a dog of my own who I’ve raised since he was a wee pup. I am able to work with pets of all sizes as many of my friends and family have had me watch their pets while they were away.

About: Hello fellow dog owners! My name is Kevin and I am a fun, loving dog person! My partner and I are new to Fort Wayne, recently moving here from Anchorage, Alaska (yes, we drove!). With a 14 year old senior pooch of my own, I understand the incredible bond we have with our beloved friends. I have had Brita since she was 2 months old, and now that she is a subtle senior, her and I have built a friendship that is forever lasting. Having to leave your best friend at home alone is one of the greatest fears and anxieties a pet owner could imagine! That is why I want to help out other dog owners and make sure your fur-baby is well taken care of and provided for, so you can feel stress free. Having a pet of my own has really built up a trust of my circle around me. Friends and family members feel comfortable asking me to watch their animal from time to time, which is a very rewarding feeling. With me your pooch will have plenty of play time, walks and many belly rubs! UPDATE: My partner and I recently adopted a 4-month-old Beagle puppy named Juno! My amazing senior dog, Brita (my trusty co-pilot), has completely embraced her role as big sister and is already helping teach Juno the house rules. Welcoming a new puppy into our home has brought back so many great memories from when Brita was little, while also giving me hands-on experience with puppy training all over again. It's been a wonderful reminder of the patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement that help young dogs thrive! Whether you have an energetic new puppy or a sweet senior dog, I'm confident I can provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to their needs. My experience caring for both a senior dog and a growing puppy has given me a deeper understanding of how to meet dogs where they are at every stage of life :) I am currently not working, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pup! I am available during the week and most weekends. When I am at a clients home, I make sure I ask all the necessary questions, and follow their detailed instructions for their pet. I care for them the same way I would at my house. All the attention! Having used Rover for my own dog, I am the type of person that needs reassurance that my pet is okay. I will send you all of the photos, videos and texts that will keep your mind calm. It is a huge safety factor for me to know my animal is being taken care of.

My 2 cats were nervous and hid under the bed when she came to visit. She worked with them and spent time earning their trust. She sent pictures each day. and her communication relieved much stress from leaving my cats for a week.

About: I have owned and taken care of a lot of dogs in the past 10 years. Friends, family and neighbors have trusted that I take great care of their fur babies! I offer overnight care in your home as well as walking and drop-ins! I am a self employed hair stylist so I can pretty easily modify my schedule to accommodate you and your dogs personal needs! I work 4-5 days a week so I am looking for something to do in my free time. I always prefer to have a run-down on how you take care of your dog and understand your personal routine with the dog so that I can mimic that to the best of my ability.

Thank you! I work a full-time job during the week on the morning shift, though i have very flexible hours and will never let my animals go more than 4 hours without a potty break. If morr frequent breaks are needed then that can also be accomodated. No matter where the care takes place, my goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I adapt my methods to suit each pet’s unique personality and needs, ensuring they get the best possible care. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe and controlled environment where puppies receive one-on-one attention, focusing on obedience, potty training, and behavioral issues, along with plenty of playtime and socialization. For elderly pets, I ensure a calm and comfortable space, offering gentle exercise, regular health checks, and lots of cuddles to make them feel loved and secure. In your home, I tailor my approach to suit your pet’s familiar surroundings. For puppies, I conduct training sessions in their usual environment, helping them learn commands and good behavior where they spend most of their time. For senior pets, I offer personalized in-home visits, providing feeding, medication administration, gentle walks, and companionship to keep them happy and healthy.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - New Haven

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in New Haven on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 365 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across New Haven. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a New Haven stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in New Haven choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in New Haven with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Haven. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
