“Amazing animal lovers whom we will use for now on. This was our first Rover.com experience. I cannot tell you how my hound dog, who we rescued, was abused. In they walk and I have never seen Hendrix stand by a stranger. Cookie, our other dog, just slept. That was all we needed. And, talk about me and greet being so comfortable, that was it, we we sold on them and their attention to the dogs and all the details. Thanks again, you both rock! ❤️??”

About: Hi I am Stephanie. I am a life long dog owner and lover of all animals. I currently have a Cavapoo named Sophie who is my little ball of attitude. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, labs, cocker spaniel, doodles, German shepherds,and French Bulldogs. I am willing to watch in your home as my girl isn't fond of guests. I work full time but depending on the area of town I am available for midday walks and care as well more and evening. I would love to provide amazing care for your pup while you enjoy a relaxing vacation or are out of town for any reason. “My rates reflect Rover’s service fees. I’m happy to discuss pricing for longer stays, repeat bookings, or unique circumstances.” I currently work full time on the north side of town but am located in New Haven in. I get 1 hr for lunch and if you are located huntertown or in this area I can definitely do midday walks and cuddles. Walks, let on lead, electric fence or anyway you prefer your pets to do their business. Feeding, playing and of course cuddles to begin and end the day.

About: I grew up on a small farm with a bunch of different animals, and I'm always up for a challenge. I've had a soft spot for dogs, and I've learned to care for them with a patient, gentle touch. I've worked with rescues, seniors, and puppies and, I'm happy to learn each dog's routines, ease their anxiety, help them eat, or keep up their training. I'm also comfortable administering medications and bathing animals. I know how hard it is to find the right sitter. I struggled with it myself back when I had my rescue dogs. I want to be the person who shows up, respects their boundaries and routines, and gives the dog the best chance to be happy and comfortable while in my care! I work from home, with a flexible schedule, so I'm pretty open when it comes to walks, daycare, boarding, or house sitting. I'm happy to board at my home, I just ask that I've met your dog beforehand and that they're potty trained. I don't currently have any pets in my home, which makes for a good fit for dogs who need to be the only animal or just do better on their own. I do have a small fenced area in the backyard where they can be off leash as well. I'm very detail-oriented, and am good at figuring out what each dog needs to feel secure in a new environment. I'll always do my best to follow the guidelines you've already set for your animal, and I'll keep you updated along the way so you know how they're doing.

About: I am currently a veterinary assistant at a large local animal shelter in fort wayne. I worked mainly in the feline department for a year then moved to the medical sides of things.

I have a spare bedroom if need be, but I will travel as much as I need to, to make sure your best is being cared for!

About: I am a loving mother of 2 and I will care for your pets as if they were one of the kids. I have dog sit before and loved it. When I was younger I use to volunteer at the animal shelter with my great-grandma and that's the reason I love animals today. We also adopted a cat a couple of years ago, and we just love him to pieces. We also just adopted a dog that we have previously sat for. Hi! I currently work for Amazon and have a schedule of four 10-hour shifts each week. Outside of work, I have plenty of time to care for and spend with your pets. I have been dog sitting since I was a kid and have always had a love for animals. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your furry family members, and I would treat your pets with the same love, attention, and care that I would give my own! I will make sure each animal has proper care including a clean safe cozy shelter, clean water, regular bathroom breaks, going on walks for at least half an hour, who knows it could be longer, and so much more!

About: I have been caring for stray animals daily, especially stray cats that I regularly feed and look after. Over time, I’ve developed strong bonds with them through patience, trust, and consistency, and I’ve learned to understand their individual personalities and needs. I also grew up with a lot of animals in my surrounding which is how I became to love them and care for them. I’m working 9-5 but I have plenty of free time outside of work! I’m available after 5 PM on Thursdays and Fridays, and I’m completely flexible and available anytime on weekends. I’d be happy to work around your schedule and give your pets the time and attention they deserve! 🐾 I provide care in the client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure their space stays clean and safe, and I’m happy to send updates and pictures so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Most importantly, I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for.

About: I've been helping out families I know with dog and cat sitting since 2020 and am ready to do it in a more formal way. ——- Here's the story: my behaviorally-complex bestie turned me into a dog trainer, and now my day job is helping other families like mine. I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA) and Fear Free Certified Professional (FFCP). ——- I like to take things slow when I meet a new pet, unless they're not into that kind of thing and would rather go straight to sharing our personal space. I can take a hint...because I've spent time learning body language! ——— I believe in meeting an individual's needs based on their responses to activities. We can find all kinds of projects to fulfill your pet's physical, mental, and emotional needs. Enrichment is the key! ——- I also have lots of experience caring for reptiles and amphibians, and I share my home with two snakes. 🐍 I work full-time from home, and have a flexible work schedule. This makes it easier to fit caring for folks' pets in the comfort of their own home into my schedule. As a Fear Free Certified Professional, the comfort of the pet in front of me is my #1 concern. I want to meet your pets before I drop in, so let's set up a meet and greet! ----- I love engaging pets with mentally stimulating activities that allow the expression of their natural behaviors. Since I build enrichment plans for pets for a living, I tend to find creative ways to incorporate what is available to help pets use their bodies and brains to have a good time.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life. Growing up we always had a dog, and we have had dogs of all sizes. I love making dogs happy and letting them run around and enjoy themselves! I’m new to this so please don’t hesitate to give me a shot at helping you out so I can gain some ratings and get myself out there more! I’m a full time student and a father. I go to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays but every other day of the week I am available. I am also available during weekends but those days would vary more than the week days. It’s going to be cold out soon, and I don’t mind walking dogs in the cold so you don’t have to! I have two dogs in my home! I let them out multiple times a day, make sure they get fed what they are supposed to be fed when they are supposed to be fed. And I love my dogs and I know everyone else does. I am blessed with the opportunity to have a more open schedule than most, and I want to help! Pet care can be stressful, but it doesn’t need to be.

About: I have an overflowing love for all fur babies, so caring for your pets will bring joy to my life and help you out at the same time! In college, I worked at a dog kennel and daycare and learned a lot about caring for different personalities of dog. Growing up, we had a German Shepard. I now have a 3 year old golden retreiver who i raised from a puppy and trained myself. She is very friendly and playful, gets along with every kind of dog and person. I also have 2 cats who are siblings and just great snuggles and so playful. I have a decent sized house and a half acre fenced yard, which is quiet and out of the city (though close to the small town with plenty of sidewalks for walks). I currently work from home on Wednesdays. Weekends are a but more unpredictable but when I am home is the only time I'll mark available. Mondays, tuesday, Thursdays, and fridays I work 8am-5pm. On my work days I am still happy to take overnight guests or stop for a walk or check in after work, during lunch, or before work. I have plenty of space for them to run around. I have a submissive and playful dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate them if you desire, and there is enough room in my house to separate them from my animals if needed.

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.

About: I treat ALL pets like family! 💗 Hi! I’m Ashli, & I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members as if they were my own. I’ve had experience caring for animals for many years. Growing up, I regularly watched my uncle’s three dogs whenever he traveled, which taught me the importance of providing loving, reliable care while pet parents are away. I also pet sit for my other uncle’s dog from time to time, as well as friends’ pets whenever they need a helping hand. I’m a proud pet mom to two cats, Ginger & Honey, & two turtles, Bonzai & Lily. They truly are my babies, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having someone keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, & well cared for. I know every pet has their own unique personality, & I’m happy to adapt to their routine & needs. I can’t wait to meet you & your fur babies! I am very flexible! I would be more than happy to help where needed & I can always make anything work as long as I have a little bit of notice. I am willing to sit during the weekends as well! I will care for your pets in anyway you need me to, I go above & beyond to meet their needs & keep them happy. I also would love to be a new best friend to your fur baby 💗 I’m also open to meet & greets!

About: I have been taking care of my 18-year-old cat since she was born. She has recently gone deaf and requires more attention. For two years, I frequently took care of a family with 5 children and 2 Great Danes. I give my cat attention daily, making sure she feels loved and content. This often includes filling her food, water, and changing her litter box, as well as many pets and cuddles. I would love to walk, play with, and take care of your pets. At home, I make sure my cat has a clean litter box and plenty of attention.

About: I've taken care of dogs (and cats) since I was in high school. Friends, family, neighbors, and others have relied on me to feed, walk, play with, and provide medication and other health management to their pets. I also personally care for my own special needs dog who has Addison's Disease. I just completed my first year working as a Speech Language Pathologist in the school system and would like to keep active and earn additional income by helping take care of others' pets over the summer :) I will do what is necessary to provide the best care possible to your pets and follow any directions you have. I will always ask questions for clarification or if I am unsure about what your pet needs. You know what is best for your pet and I want to ensure that I am providing the best care for them possible.

About: Hi! I’m Alicia. I’m a second grade teacher and lifelong Fort Wayne resident. I’ve had pets my entire life, but currently have none of my own, so I’m looking forward to babying yours while you’re away! I am very flexible during the summer, school holiday breaks & weekends, but I also continue Rover services during the school week as well. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, so I’m grateful for the opportunity to offer them a quiet, kid-free, pet-free, low-stress environment to settle into while you’re away. I’m extremely reliable, caring, and patient. Whether your pet needs medication, a consistent routine, or extra time to warm up to someone, I’m happy to adjust to whatever works best for them (and for you). Whether I’m with them for a drop-in or overnight stay, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Plus, I love to take pictures and document our adventures, so you can expect regular updates and plenty of photos while you’re away. Feel free to reach out to set up a time to chat or schedule a meet and greet! As a teacher, my summers are especially flexible for drop-ins, daycare, and overnight stays. When school starts (August-May), I’m limited to before and after school drop-ins, but always open to schedule overnight stays at your house or mine especially on weekends or holidays! At my house, your pets will be the only pets in the home, so they’ll get all of the attention they deserve! My house is pet-proofed and I’m very committed to ensuring your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - New Haven

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in New Haven is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $22 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 366 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across New Haven. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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.

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.

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

  • 88% 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.

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.

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.
