About: I started taking care of pets when we got a family dog when I was a kid. Since then, I help my mom with her pet-sitting business and have sat for her 3 dogs for a week+ at a time. I genuinely love taking care of dogs of all ages. I work a full-time job 7-3 M-F, and have afternoon pilot classes about twice a week, always scheduled in advance. Occasionally I go out of town for a weekend, again, scheduled well in advance. I would treat a client's pet as if they were my own, which is to say with lots of love, care, patience, respect, and kindness. And a lot of head pats (if and when applicable).
“Erin took amazing care of our 3 babies. She was extremely quick to respond and would spend 30-45 minutes with our dogs each visit and kept them company. She was very understanding when our plans would change slightly and had no issues adjusting the schedule. Highly recommend.”
About: I’m a young professional in the architecture field by day, but I absolutely LOVE spending time with and caring for animals! I grew up with three cats and a pup, and have several years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’m communicative, dependable, and punctual, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! I currently work as an architectural designer during the day so I have a typical 9-5 routine but am around most evenings and weekends. I’m studying for my architecture exams so have lots of time to hang out on the couch with your pets! I have a large 2nd floor apartment with plenty of room for your fur baby to play and hang out. I also have a large backyard!
“Katie was wonderful with our 2 basset hounds and her multiple (hooray!) were much appreciated, this first separation from our dogs since Covid 19 reared it's ugly head. Met them previously, left key behind as promised. We were very happy , my friend hired her, too.”
“Jacqueline took great care of our cat when we were away for a week. She is super nice and was always on time and our cat really enjoyed her company while we were gone.”
“Jen has now looked after two "generations" of my cats, and she seemed to know exactly what I needed to see of my kitten during my first long trip away. (Lots of amazing action shots and some videos!) I wouldn't even consider anyone else as a Rover. Thank you Jen! ❤️”
About: I have pets of all kind throughout my childhood! I have always had a love for animals and making sure they are shown the love they deserve. Animals are a huge part of our lives, it's important we reciprocate that for them. Lunch hours for weekdays and weekends are my guaranteed availability. For other hours hours just reach out in advance and ask, always willing to help. As a pet sitter offering dog walking services, I prioritize the well-being and safety of the pets entrusted to my care. When walking dogs, I ensure they receive regular exercise, engaging walks, and plenty of fresh air. If I am coming to your home, I create a comfortable and pet-friendly environment, with designated spaces for play, rest, and meals. I maintain a consistent routine, provide regular potty breaks, and offer ample companionship and affection.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13 years old. Family and friends always ask me for help. I have grown up around animals and know their behaviors. I take care of 2 indoor cats on my own. I also help my mom and grandma with the strays around our house taking them to the vet spaying/neutering them. I originally wanted to be a veterinarian and did shadowing at the Northford Veterinary Clinic with Dr. Minott and dealt with medication and nail clipping. I understand the signs and situations of an animal that is scared or feels danger. I have helped foster kittens and puppies from strays, preparing them to be adopted. My mom has worked at the Central Veterinary Hospital for many years. She has taken me to work many times showing me the ins and outs of the hospital. I also have experience with oral medication helping my mom with our dogs! I’m enrolled into The University of Tampa full time, but I have the entire summer free from June-August. I am an active person and would love spending time out side with your pet! In your home I will respect your property/privacy. Whatever you need me to do for your furry pet I will do! I will make sure they’re safe, loved and cared for!
About: I had a dog since I was in 2nd grade, for around 15 years. I have experience in young puppy care and senior dog care. Just getting into the Rover business, but eager of learn and would love to help! So I’m currently a 3rd Resident Physician at the hospital, so I do have more time on weekends to do sit ins and walks. I miss having a dog and taking care of one so this is my way to give back! I also can do late night sit ins or walks after my shift which usually ends at 630pm. I have an apartment with a doggy park and a pet cleaning and bathing area. The doggy park is fenced with toys and water. I’m great at following instructions and will take great caution and care in others home.
About: Growing up in a large household with a mini zoo of dogs, birds, fish, and rodents, I learned the magic and joy of caring for and forming a deep bond with many different kinds of companions. By high school, I was the neighborhood go-to pet sitter, trusted with everything from complex medication schedules and live reptile feedings to overnight house-sitting. Once I was licensed to drive, I was regularly taking packs of dogs on adventures to the park and wash station. Over the years, my hands-on experience has grown to cover a diverse range of animals and specialized needs: Birds: Hands-on experience caring for family birds from a young age, managing daily feeding, habitat maintenance, enrichment, and safe handling routines. Cats: Experience fostering and adopting, including bottle-feeding stray kittens and managing complex health conditions like FeLV, allergies, joint pain, anxiety, and digestive or urinary issues. Aquatics & Invertebrates: Deep knowledge in aquarium maintenance, specializing in aquatic invertebrates and peaceful community tanks. Experienced with land invertebrates including tarantulas, millipedes, Dubia roaches, and isopods. Reptiles and Amphibians: Experienced in handling and long-term holiday care for leopard geckos, iguanas, and tree frogs. Plant Care: Passionate plant parent for over a decade, specializing in tropical species and indoor herbs. Whether managing detailed medical routines or keeping exotic pets thriving, I like to focus on the small things that make a big difference in peace of mind and animal happiness. I'm open to anything, from as simple as feed and monitor drop-ins to detailed food intake notes and water quality testing. I look forward to giving pet parents that peace of mind that comes with an experienced and dedicated pet caregiver. I am currently studying to finish my degree and have availability for full time care needs on most weekdays and weekends starting from 8 am. I have a locked cabinet for small critters that is safe from our cats and gets multiple visits daily. I provide in home live or full diet feedings, regular environment checks, mistings, etc throughout the day. Play times, bathroom breaks, walks, and cuddles are the perfect transition between school assignments during full house time sitting. You can rest easy knowing that your pet will receive the most attentive care possible, both from home or away.
About: I’ve taken care of animals, especially dogs all my life. Have family with farms that i have helped with as well. So i’ll make sure your dog is being well taken care of. I’m available any day of the week and weekends as well. Anything else you might need just text/call and we can discuss further details, thanks. I have the backyard partly fenced. Won’t be able to get to front yard unless he/she go’s a certain way, but ill always supervise when i let your pup out. Can set up a runner if needed. Very big back yard with river in the back.
“This was my third time booking Sara. My cats love her and I love not having to worry about them when I am away. They’re always in good hands with Sara! Thanks again Sara for taking such good care of them! 🐱😻🐱”
“We were so impressed with the care that Sabrina & Daniel gave to our dog Winston! He can be shy at first, and Sabrina & Daniel gave him the space he needed to get comfortable - so much so he was asking for pets by the middle of the hour. It feels so nice knowing our dog is in good hands while we have to be away from him. Thank you both for your sweetness toward Winston, your reliability and professionalism. Winston can't wait to see you again soon!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 8 and haven’t met a dog I didn’t love. I spent the past 5 years living in NYC where I started dog walking and sitting part time before moving back to CT. I can handle all dogs of all ages and sizes. Accepting evening and weekend walks only. Same day / last minute bookings will be accepted depending on my availability. Fully booked for mid-day weekday walks. Kind and careful to all requests. Can take control in many different situations. Energetic and active where needed. Calming presence when it’s time to wind down.
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.
About: I've had dogs all of my life, and created such strong bonds with each one of them. I've always been someone my family and friends can turn to when they leave to care for their pets as I ensure they are not only taken care of, but comfortable and happy as well. Animals are so special to people and I will always drop everything to care for them. I'm completely free for the summer before I attend my first year of college in the fall. When I have classes, I plan to schedule pet care visits in my free time and days off as well. I'm a very communicative and responsible person who can easily adapt to the needs of my clients and their pets. My main priority is the comfort of the animals and I will do whatever it takes to ensure that and their happiness.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Haven
We can’t say enough good things about Sophia! From our meet and greet, Sophia’s drop in visit and overnight stay with our dog Faye, she was so courteous and thorough, updating us throughout her stay and sending photos. This was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience thanks to Sophia. We’ve already booked her for another overnight with Faye!
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! 🐾💕

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.
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 .

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 .
