“Fantastic, had to book last minute and he saved us from cancelling our trip. Also cleaned up my dogs mess when she puked instead of leaving it like most do. Very much appreciated.”
“Cassie was fantastic with our 3 pups. She did drop in visits for us and took them outside, and gave them lots of love and treats. I highly recommend Cassie for pet care and will definitely hire her again. Thank you Cassie!”
“Julie and Elijah and family are the best and dealing with Rover is very easy and a great value. I’m spoiled by the care Ava gets when they care for her and I know she loves them also. I highly recommend Julie for all your pet or house sitting needs. Thanks for everything. Tom n Lisa & Ava 🙏❤️”
“Haley provided great care for my 4 cats. I had a last minute trip and she was able to accommodate the days I would be out of town. I enjoyed the daily updates and pictures of my fur babies. If you are looking for a compassionate and responsible pet sitter I would highly recommend Haley.”
“Christa was wonderful with her visit! She kept in touch so I knew exactly what was going on with my baby and sent me pictures! I had given her a call after her visit to get her opinion on a few things and she was great! She is very knowledgeable and kind! She is even going to start helping me train my Gunnar man! I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve owned dogs for 20 years or more, but not really counting anymore :) . Potty, and obedience training. Also owned a bird, reptile and fish. I bring a good energy so animals and I jive really well. I currently work part time with flexible hours and so I will be able to have the time during the week or weekend for your animals needs. My dogs are indoor outdoor dogs with fenced in yard. We do have kennels, but we do not use them but if I need to use them for your puppy, I would not mind doing that as well. My dogs do well with other dogs and if your dog has anxiety, then I can always keep them separate.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, so I love to help take care of them and love on them! I’ve also looked after plenty of animals for family and friends when they’re out of town, with one family friend having me come back to dog sit for them for the last three years! Right now, I’m home from college for the summer, and don’t have a job, so my schedule is pretty free unless I have an appointment or other things going on on a certain day! I don’t offer boarding for pets in my own home unfortunately, but for my clients, I will make sure all their needs are met and more, playing with them and making sure they’re doing great before I leave for the day.
“Miranda is wonderful! She was very responsive to my messages, sent tons of adorable pictures of my cats, and went above and beyond my expectations by bringing cute toys for the kitties to play with and vacuuming the area around the litter box. I highly recommend booking her to care for your pets.”
“Kaitlin did an awesome job with our 2 dogs. She went above and beyond when one of our dogs made a mess and cleaned up. Will definitely use again if the we need any more help Thanks Kat”
About: I’m an animal lover, vegan, and environmentalist with a passion for compassion! I can hardly remember a time when I have NOT had a pet. I have dog and cat sat for a house with 7 cats and dogs multiple times, so I’ve become accustomed to the temperament of pets. Nothing brings me joy like having a furry friend to accompany me on a walk around town. I am an attentive pedestrian and I know the rules of the road as a driver as well as on the sidewalk. I value nature and recognise the need to help dogs and cats by cleaning up after them in public. Overall, I’m a responsible pet-owner, and I understand the busy schedules of human-animals, and how important it is to ensure that our non-human friends get the attention and outdoor time that they deserve and love! I’m currently available for walks most mornings and pet setting any day of the week. I can accommodate early morning walks and any feeding schedules. I understand the need for pets to have frequent trips outside, and some time cuddling on the couch as well. I’m able to handle dogs of various sizes and temperments. Treats are a must if you approve and provide treats you like to give pups. I prioritize keeping dogs on leash when out of the house to make sure they stick by me.
About: My family has had dogs my entire life. Several years ago a neighbor of ours fell ill and needed surgery. I walked her dog every day for three months to use the bathroom and have play time outdoors until she healed. When she went on vacations, I would dog sit for two weeks at a time. I enjoyed caring for the home and her dog so much that I continued with these services for several other people. Everything from playing with their dogs, walking them, taking them out for potty breaks, feeding them, and taking care of their home. I've come to love them and still have great relationships with the families. To those reading, it would be my pleasure to care for your animals as well! I am currently working as a self-employed freelancer and I have plenty of time to take care of your pets and your home! I am flexible with scheduling and will accommodate your needs whenever possible. I provide the services my client's need, adapting to each pet and housing situation. Of course I will be covering basic needs like water, food and potty breaks, but I will also go above and beyond giving lots of love and attention to your pet.
About: I have had pets my entire life. I think of animals like family. I currently have two cats and three dogs that are spoiled rotten. I love to care for animals. I am new to Rover, but I assure you I am reliable. I have always cared for family and friends pets while they are out of town. Pets are not just another job to me, it's a passion! I work full time at home all week days except for Wednesday. Wednesday I only work 6 hours in office. I am available to care for your babies almost 24/7. I have no issues staying at your home or dropping by for visits to feed and play with your pets. I currently have 3 dogs so I don't offer sitting in my own home. I will abide by any rules you may have!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 194 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Haven. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
