About: I rescued my own dog from a shelter, and she required a lot of special training and patience. I worked with her on socialization, leash walking, and reducing pulling and barking around other dogs, and I have successfully helped her improve in all of these areas. Since she was a puppy when I adopted her, I also have experience with the patience, consistency, and care that younger dogs require. In addition, I care for a senior dog, so I am experienced in recognizing when a dog has reached their physical limit during walks and understanding how to adjust care based on their needs. Having experience with both younger and older dogs, as well as both large and small breeds, has taught me how to handle dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and training levels with confidence and care. I am currently in school but there are only three days a week I am completely booked with classes. My Mondays and Fridays and weekends are completely open and would love to spend my free time around more dogs! I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets while they are in my care. Since I live in an apartment, I make sure the space is pet-friendly, secure, and free of anything that could be harmful to animals. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, exercise, and any special instructions from the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety during walks, monitor pets closely around other animals, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, and affection. I also provide updates and communication so owners feel reassured while their pets are in my care.
“Erin instantly made us feel comfortable leaving our 3 kitties for a week. She offered to come meet us and the cats before booking, and we loved her. One of our cats takes time to build trust and sometimes won’t eat for a bit while we’re away. Erin took the time to build a relationship with her and tried a few different things to help her feel comfortable eating for someone new. Erin spent time with all three cats, played with them, and helped them feel comfortable trusting her. We got pictures after every visit, and excellent communication about how they were doing. Our selective eater was coming out of hiding and eating her food consistently much quicker than she has for others who have come to feed them while we were away. Erin went above and beyond for our babies and made us feel so much better about being away from them. We have already rebooked with her for another trip. Thank you for much for everything, Erin!!!”
About: I currently volunteer at an animal shelter and love working with dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and demeanors! I also have some basic training experience through my dog trainer, who also specializes in service work and behavioral training. My personal dog, Toffee (basset hound!), lived to be 16, and my favorite time with her was the patient walks and TLC needed as she got older--happy to support your senior animals too:) A couple other tidbits: I have experience working with farm animals (chickens, ducks, goats, and alpacas!) and majored in Environmental Science in college. Looking forward to meeting your furry ones! I balance my full-time job (8:30-4) with pet care through Rover and at the animal shelter. I am happy to work with you to find good times (evenings and weekends included, depending on when). I prefer to meet or provide care at your home, but I also live in a very walkable neighborhood and have a dog park nearby. My house has a fenced-in yard and a sprinkler for the hotter days. While I do not currently have a crate in my personal vehicle, I am happy to get one if you are more comfortable. I also have close friends with dogs and cats if play dates are helpful too!
“Jen helped me medicate my difficult orange boy cat Kiwi. She also cleaned his eyes several times and fed him churus to appease him. She did a great job, was punctual and reliable, and bonded with my cats. Highly recommended! I would hire her again without a doubt.”
“Kelli was a great cat-sitter for our three cats. She was dedicated and made sure to spend time with all of them. One of our cats needs medication twice a day and she was able to administer it to her easily. She also played with our two younger cats, who love attention. When we came home, they appeared well taken care of. Would definitely book her again!”
“Olivia was fantastic! Don't hesitate to use her to watch any of your furry friends! She was quick to respond to any requests, very responsive and sent me pics of my dog each time she came. Highly recommend!!”
About: I absolutely love all types of dogs and cats! Ever since I was 10 years old I have not lived without a dog in my house. I am flexible with your pets needs from walking to running and biking or taking them to the dog park. I have experience with administering medicine orally or injections. I have a dog of my own (who currently lives out of state at the moment with my boyfriend) so I know the responsibilities of what it takes to be a great dog owner, he is large and high energy so I am not intimidated by dogs with tough personalities. I am very reliable and will respond usually very quickly to texts or calls thank you in advance for considering me to walk/watch your pet! I am currently working Monday-Thursday 7am-5pm so I am mostly available on weekends Friday-Sunday. I have an hour for lunch so I can also check on a pet then but it is not guaranteed. I treat your pets as though they are my own! I know how hard it can be to leave them so I make sure they feel like they are on vacation too by giving them walks, cuddles and permitted treats.
“This is the second time I have had Sara come for drop-in visits for my two cats. She is trustworthy, reliable, and always on time. She gives my cats attention, plays with them and takes great care of them. Sara always sends pictures so I can see how they are doing which I love. I can enjoy myself & not have to worry about them which is most important to me. I’m already booking her again for my next getaway. I highly recommend Sara!”
About: My first “job” was dog sitting when I was in first grade. I included snuggling them every night in my promise to owners, and to this day nothing has changed. I work at the children’s hospital as a pediatric audiology extern from 7:30 am-6 pm every day. I would love to dog walk on weekday evenings and I am available to pet sit and dog walk on weekends. Pets’ safety is always the number one priority. With me, your pet will never be unattended or in dangerous situations. I also value other people’s space and home.
“Andrea is wonderful! She was able to help on a very short notice and even extended the time of her visit. She was so sweet and understanding of my crazy 6mo old puppy! We can’t wait to use Andrea again”
About: I have officially 2 years of dog sitting experience I would babysit one of my bosses dog and take her on walks along with keeping her company and happy. However when I was a kid I used to take my dog out on walks along with a few people in my neighborhood, I even tried making my own dog walking business at the age of 10 but that didn’t really work out well. I have a few cats at home so I’m perfectly fine with taking care of cats as well. I work part time at a daycare so my schedule really depends on what my schedule there looks like but I am more than happy to squeeze something in before or after my shift. I’m more than happy to play all day with dogs and cat or just keep them company while sitting inside or outside. I’m more than capable of going on long walks and if available I wouldn’t mind a good hike with your dogs as well :)
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs now for about 2 years as a way to help out family and friends while making an additional income. I have experience doing overnight stays, walks, and visits for both young and old dogs! I am a recent graduate looking for a job, so I currently have plenty of time to look after your pets! Let me know what time and day you would like my help and I will try my best to accommodate. I will work on weekends! When caring for dogs during a walk, visit, or overnight stay, I try my absolute best to follow the schedule/instructions put out for me, especially when caring for older dogs who may rely on a structured rountine. I will always contact you if there is something that concerns me, and I make sure to send occasional pictures of your pet, especially if they do something cute!
About: I have been a dog owner my whole life and truly understand that dogs are not just pets, they are family. Growing up around dogs has given me hands on experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. From playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, I am comfortable caring for each dog’s unique needs. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have dog sat for friends and family many times. Whether it is daily walks, overnight stays, feeding schedules, playtime, or extra attention while their owners are away, I always make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable. You can trust that your pup will be treated like one of my own, with patience, attention, and plenty of affection. I am available throughout the day and have a flexible schedule, so I can give your pup plenty of attention and care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, including walks, playtime, and drop-ins whenever you need. I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your dog gets the care they deserve. I focus on giving dogs plenty of safe, supervised attention through walks, playtime, and drop ins. I always keep pets on a leash or in a secure area when outside, and I closely supervise them indoors to make sure they are comfortable and safe. I treat every dog with care, respect, and attention, and I make sure they feel happy and secure while in my care.
“Gianna was great with our furbaby! She made us feel comfortable with her handling all our needs exactly as we told her and even went above and beyond by teaching our brand new pup how to “paw”! We will definitely use her again whenever possible!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs within my family since I was 10 years old. I love to go for long walks and give them as much exercise as possible! My goal is to take away the stress of giving your pet enough time to get their energy out for the day. Though I’d love to have a dog of my own, it isn’t in the cards for me right now so I’d love to enjoy spending time with other people’s pets. At the moment, I am between full-time jobs until September so I am available all hours Monday-Friday! My weekends vary in availability but if you are looking for those days just ask in advance and I may be able to accommodate you. I love giving pets under my care all the attention they need, so I am happy to go on long walks around the neighborhood or bring them somewhere nearby if they have a favorite spot they love to walk. I am reliable, flexible with scheduling, and am eager to enjoy the company of the animals I meet.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Haven
I had a great experience with Crystal and would definitely book her again! My dog absolutely loved her, and she was attentive, communicative, and followed all of my instructions. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even stayed longer than I had booked to make sure my dog was comfortable, which I truly appreciated. On top of that, she left me a thoughtful card and even washed my dishes before she left. She really went above and beyond, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🐾💕

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

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.
