“I had Abigail come to my house to sit my 3 dogs while i was on vacation. She did great with my babies and took time to make them feel more comfortable with her. She even met with me beforehand to meet the dogs which put me more at ease with using her. Abigal is trustworthy and she was respectful of my belongings. She also brought in my packages and took up my garbage cans which was a huge help. I'll definitely use her services again in the future.”

“We seriously can’t say enough good things about Ryan! This was our very first time using Rover, so we were already a little nervous about leaving our house and two very attention-needy fur babies in someone else’s hands. To make things even more stressful, our original sitter canceled at the last minute right before our trip. Thankfully, Ryan came to the rescue and was an absolute lifesaver! From the start, she was incredibly kind, responsive, and flexible, which immediately helped ease our nerves. She kept in great communication and sent photo updates throughout our trip, and it was such a relief knowing our babies and our home were being so well taken care of. She was also extremely respectful of our house, responsible, and genuinely thoughtful in how she approached everything. Our two fur babies definitely aren’t shy about demanding attention, so finding someone we felt comfortable leaving them with meant a lot to us! Ryan made what could have been a really stressful experience so much easier, and we were actually able to relax and enjoy our time away. We’re so grateful that things worked out the way they did because we couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience! We would absolutely book with Ryan again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. Thank you so much, Ryan!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 10 years, mostly my own (now senior) dogs. I also had a dog who was special needs (partially blind and deaf), and unfortunately passed 3 years ago. I am always open to taking care of your pets! I’m normally the most free every day but Wednesday and do not mind spending the night with your pets! I cannot currently house pets in my own home, but I’m always free to stay at your home! I drive, so only staying for a few hours at a time is also okay. Since I have senior dogs, they often “forget” they went outside, so frequent potty breaks (including in the night) is a must. I also give my dogs medication, so if your pup needs oral medication, I am 100% okay with that.

About: I grew up with two dogs and a cat and pet sit for neighbors. From puppies and kittens to seniors, I’ve taken care of pets at every stage. I work full time during the week. I get one work from home day a week and the weekends off. I have pet sit successfully with this schedule. I will care for pets as if they were my own and make sure they do not go too long without care. My work schedule is very flexible.

About: My connection with animals involves compassion, patience and communication. I have experience taking dogs for walks and home sitting with pets for an extended period. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet care part-time. I’m generally most available on weekends, with additional availability throughout the week. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions and respect the pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks and any other needs they might have.

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about our in-home pet sitter Tonia! She stepped in on very short notice and immediately put our minds at ease. From the moment we connected, her professionalism and genuine love for animals were clear. She did an exceptional job caring for our two dogs, not just meeting their basic needs, but truly engaging with them. It was obvious they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. She kept us updated and sent lots of photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. Beyond caring for our pets, she treated our home with the utmost respect, treating it as if it were her own. Everything was spotless and exactly as we left it. We could not be happier with the experience and feel so grateful to have found her. We will absolutely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate care for their pets and home.”

About: I have been around pets of all kinds my entire life. I have always had and taken care of at least 1 dog growing up, and most recently successfully fostered 2 puppies! (approximately 4 months old). I do currently work full time in office 6-230. I am almost always home beyond that though. And am happy to accommodate any needs the best I can upon request🙂 I have a super flat fenced in yard with plenty of room to run around, and a very friendly neighbor dog to play with! I live alone so any pups would always have my attention.

About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember. I’ve just recently introduced a cat into our dog family and it’s been such a pleasure caring for my babies. I would love to do the same for someone else! I am available at the moment to work any day weekday and weekend, I currently have no restrictions to when I can not do it. I enjoy doing enrichment activities with the animals and playing with them to stimulate their mind. I also like to cuddle with my dogs whenever they want chill time.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced, compassionate pet sitter who truly believes every animal deserves to be treated like family. 🐾 I’ve been a pet owner my entire life and have spent the past 3 years working professionally as a pet sitter through an established pet-care company. I’ve cared for all kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, hamsters, snakes, skunks, and more. I absolutely love animals of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities—including exotic pets and farm animals! 🏡 Dog Boarding in My Home I offer boarding in my home for dogs under 40 pounds. Your dog will be welcomed into a loving, pet-friendly home where they’ll receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and cuddles. I have two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and six cats, so my home is truly an animal-loving environment. Because of my resident pets, I want to make sure every boarding guest is comfortable around other animals and is a good fit for our household. I’m happy to discuss your dog’s personality, routines, and needs ahead of time to make sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable stay. I do not crate pets unless that is your preference or part of their normal routine. 🐾 Care in Your Home — Dogs of Any Size & All Animals For dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your home, I’m happy to care for dogs of any size, as well as cats and other animals. Whether you have a tiny puppy, a large dog, multiple pets, or a variety of animals, I can provide loving, dependable care tailored to their individual needs and routines. As someone who has used professional pet-sitting services myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of love while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pets feel happy and cared for—whether they’re staying in their own home and routine or enjoying a vacation at my home. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets with special needs. I’m also experienced with administering both oral medications and injections. You’ll receive daily updates (or more frequently if you prefer), including photos, so you never have to wonder how your babies are doing. For your added peace of mind, I carry my own pet-sitting insurance. I’m also a non-smoker and non-drinker. Whether you have one dog, a house full of cats, an exotic pet, or a whole farm of animals, I’d love the opportunity to care for them! ❤️ Please feel free to reach out with any questions about me, my services, or my rates. I’d love to meet you and your pets! 🐾 Flexible, At-Home Pet Care Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to give your pets plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. My flexible work schedule allows me to adjust my hours around your pets’ needs, whether they’re staying in their own home or boarding with me in my home. When your dog stays with me, they won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, and attention throughout the day, while still allowing them to relax and feel comfortable in a home environment. For pets I care for in your home, I can work around their normal routine and provide the individualized care they’re accustomed to. Whether your pet needs regular walks, medication, playtime, extra potty breaks, or simply someone nearby for companionship, my flexible schedule allows me to be there for them. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for—whether they’re staying in their own home or enjoying a stay at mine.❤️ 🐾 Caring for Your Pets in My Home or Yours Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, my priority is always their safety, comfort, and happiness. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so they receive personalized care and plenty of love and attention. I’m experienced with administering both oral medications and injections, and I’m comfortable following specific instructions to help keep your pet’s routine consistent while you’re away. When I’m caring for your pets in your home, I’m also happy to help with the little things that give you extra peace of mind, including bringing in your mail, watering plants, taking out the garbage, and keeping your home looking lived-in. Most importantly, your pets will receive plenty of companionship, affection, playtime, and attention. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pets are being cared for with the same love and attention I would want for my own. ❤️

“We are new to the Cincinnati area, and finding a new pet sitting can be quite daunting. We are so fortunate to have had AJ take care of our 3 papillons and house for the past week. During the meet and greet, my 3 liked AJ immediately. He is a good communicator and very conscientious. We received several updates, and found our dogs happy and healthy upon our return. He also kept our house very tidy. We will definitely book AJ when we need pet sitting in the future. 5☆”

FAQs for House Sitting - New Haven

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,267 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Haven. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred New Haven walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in New Haven maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

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!

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 , 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 .

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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

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
  • 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.
