About: I've grown up with big dogs my whole life, so being around them has always felt natural to me. I truly love animals and know they're not just pets, they're family. I'm patient, gentle, and love getting to know each dog's little personality and quirks. Whether your pup loves long walks, lots of attention, or just needs someone they can feel comfortable with, I'll treat them with the same love and care I'd give my own. I'm currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to give your pets the attention, playtime, and care they deserve. Iâm very easy to communicate with, respond quickly, and will always keep you updated while your pets are in my care. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person looking after your pets, so Iâll make sure theyâre safe, happy, and well cared for! Your petâs safety will always be my top priority. Iâll make sure to follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, and any specific needs your pet may have. Iâll always keep a close eye on them during walks and playtime, make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and never put them in an unsafe situation. Iâm also very attentive and will reach out right away if I notice anything unusual or have any concerns.
âKatrina is great! My 2 pitties can be a bit much at times but she handles them wonderfully and doesn't let them get away with being naughty. She is also flexible and accommodating with changing times when theres been a change to our normal routine/schedule. Highly recommend Katrina's services.â

âKiara replies fast and is extremely accommodating. She makes sure to spend quality time with both my pets and treats them exceptionally well. She goes above and beyond, and also gives thorough reports after her visits. I appreciate her efforts.â

âIsabella came to our place last night for a drop-in visit for our dog, Rudy. She stopped by a couple days before the scheduled visit to meet Rudy and learn his routine, which I was so appreciative of! She was very kind, communicative, and clearly has a love for animals. She even gave our cats some snuggles on the drop-in visit. Thank you Isabella, we will definitely be reaching out again in the future đâ

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I started out caring for pets for family and friends at a young age, and officially launched my professional pet-sitting business at age 14. Now, I proudly serve clients all across the county, providing reliable, attentive care to pets of all kinds! I work Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, but I am fully available anytime after 3:30 PM, as well as weekends. Depending on your location and distance, I may also be available for early morning visits before 7:00 AM or midday lunch break stops! Because I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking rather than in-home boarding, my pet care approach is all about keeping your pets comfortable in their own familiar environment while respecting your home space. During House Sitting: I treat your home with the utmost respect while ensuring your pets maintain their normal daily routine, feeding schedule, and sleeping arrangements. They get plenty of companionship, playtime, and overnight security so they never feel anxious while you're away. During Drop-In Visits & Walks: I pop in to handle feeding, fresh water, medication administration (if needed), yard time, or litter box cleanups. For dog walks, we focus on safe, engaging routes tailored to your dog's energy level. Communication: No matter which service you book, you will always receive detailed updates and plenty of photos after every visit or walk so you can have complete peace of mind!
âNicole was responsive, friendly, and easy to work with. It was our first time leaving the cats longer than a day or two, so we were nervous but Nicole made everything so easy. Thanks again!â

About: Iâve been around pets my whole life and genuinely love all animals. I had my first cat at age 4 and grew up with both cats and dogs. I also lived with a rescued pit bull for several years (she had a rough past and didnât do well around other dogs), so I have some experience with anxious pups on walks. I understand how important it is to build trust and work at a petâs pace. Whether your pet is social and playful or a bit shy and needs space, Iâm happy to meet them where theyâre at and give them the best care possible. Even with a full-time job in finance, I make time for what mattersâand for me, that includes animals. I work a standard weekday schedule, but my evenings and weekends are all open for pet care. The flexibility of my job may allow for a late morning - early afternoon check-in. Whether its a walk, evening check-in, or weekend drop-ins, Iâm happy to build a schedule that fits your petâs needs. I also spend most of my downtime at home, so if your pets need longer visits, I can give them plenty of attention and company. In your home, Iâm respectful of your space and committed to keeping your petâs routine as normal and comforting as possible. Iâll follow your instructions closelyâwhether itâs feeding, medications, walking schedules, or just the way your pet likes their favorite toy tossed. I know every animal is different, and I take the time to get to know their personality and needs. If we arrange care in my home, your pet will be treated like one of my own. I have a calm, pet-friendly space and three cat companions who are used to other animals and are gentle and well-socialized. I always do a slow introduction and only bring in pets that I know will be comfortable in that environment. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether Iâm in your home or you're trusting your pet with mine.
About: I have always had a way with animals. They seem able to feel the peace and caring in me so that arenât afraid.I am personable and genuinely care for people and animals . I am 58 years old and have extra time to take care of your pet. I donât work a full time job anymore so I am available mostly anytime I am needed If you need me to stay in your home to care for your pet, I am respectful of your house and everything within it. I own my house and know the anxiety of leaving someone you donât know in your home wondering what your home will look like when you get back. Your home will look exactly the same as it did when you left. Possibly even clear than when you left.
About: Iâve taken care of dogs since I was 16 year old. It started with watching my neighbors dogs! I have lots of experience with older dogs and puppies! I also have a 95lbs yellow lab at home thatâs my own :) I have a 7am-3pm job Monday-Friday, and I am able to help walk a dog in the early morning time and or an evening walk for the dog! I can even do drop-in care for cats, lizards, ferrets, etc. I take care of dogs by giving them a nice long walk, playing with their dog toys with them, fetch, etc. I think physical activity is so important for dogs! Especially giving them love and attention.
âAutumn came in clutch for my baby. She got her to warm up to her quickly. She also did her hair for me and made sure she was taken care of while I was gone. The daily pictures and updates kept me going and less stressed while I was away.. I am so grateful for her and I will be booking her again.â

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 400 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 petâs routine and the sitterâs 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 petâs 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 youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
