“Nikki is AMAZING and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a Rover sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure your fur children are safe, happy, and entertained while in her care. Quigley loves going to boarding or daycare with Nikki and her fur babies! Plus Quigley always comes back to me tired from all of the play and fun he has had! Can’t wait for our next stay with Nikki”
“I’m so thankful that I found Lynn & her husband to care for my little doggie while I was out of town. I greatly appreciate that they took the time to meet with me and Latte ahead of his stay. Lynn introduced her sweet doggies, Nellie & Bentley, to him and then spent about an hour letting the pups mingle as we talked about Latte. Lynn was very responsive to communication, she was flexible and kept me updated daily with texts & pictures of Latte. He was treated like a member of their family… well loved & cared for. I will definitely be leaving Latte with Lynn in the future!”

“Yingfei was wonderful with our two dogs. She met them ahead of time and asked great questions about what kind of care they needed. Both of my dogs take medication and Yingfei was willing to administer this. She sent pictures and videos daily and gave great updates. My dogs ate and slept well at her home and returned home happy. I had a great experience with Yingfei and will definitely use her again.”

Cat caregivers near you - New Haven
About: I’ve raised two dogs myself, a hound mix and a German shepherd/Labrador mix. I may need as many walks as dogs do, so I’m your girl when it comes to dog walking! I do have a very flexible schedule most days, so I should be available to play with or walk your pup whenever you need it! I offer check-ins and walks. I do not have pets in my own home, but I am available to dog-sit in the owners home. I feel that’s where the dog will be most comfortable anyway.
“Tracy was amazing. She was so good with our kitties. She took lots of photos and gave us great peace of mind leaving our kitties under her care! We will 100% be booking with her again.”
About: I have been taking care of my boyfriend’s brother’s cat for almost 10 months and have built a special bond with her (made before I spoiled her). I have pet sat for about 7 indoors cats and plenty of outdoor ones. I don’t have much experience with kittens or seniors but I’m sure I can learn with experience and instructions. I love cats and they usually love me as well (sometimes even if they don’t like a lot of people). I love to cuddle and if they don’t then I love them from afar. If they like to go out in the sun with a harness then I’ll take them out for a little bit. I also love spoiling them but not too much.
“Vanessa was incredible! This was my first time using Rover, and she made the whole experience so comfortable! She was extremely reliable, and took great care of our dog. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I have cared for all kinds of animals from small dogs to large horses and everything in between. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to care for, feed, bathe, and walk their furry friends. I am a part time college student who will be available most days to care for all of your furry friends in the mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends! In my home my dogs are free range inside the house and outside unless a leash is needed outside. They have a room designated to them that they can't get into anything that might harm them. They have access to water 24/7. In side homes that I have dog sat I follow directions at all times.
“Madison was great – very communicative, followed all instructions, and Sunny was in great spirits when I returned. My place looked exactly the same as how I left it. I would definitely hire Madison again!”
About: I am an Ace certified personal trainer. I am a very active person, so I will make sure your pet engages in lots of play time and gets plenty of exercise during their stay. I have a very large fenced in yard which will give your dog lots of space to run and play. I grew up living down the hill from my grandparents farm which included cows, pigs, chickens, lots of barn cats and dogs. I was the kid that was always finding hurt or stray animals and bringing them home to care for. I live in the country and all three of our cats are strays that that my husband and I took in. We also have a dog. I look forward to caring for your pet!
“Corensia did a great job taking care of our cat Gloria and the outside birds, as well as picking up the mail and packages every day. I appreciated the great photos and could see that Gloria, who is very shy and timid, allowed Corensia to let her and run her belly! Amazing! Thank you. I would definitely use Corensia again.”
“Leigh's care for our senior cat, Diesel, was truly remarkable! She is an absolute gem! During our vacation, she provided 7 days of outstanding care for our 18-year-old senior cat, Diesel. The level of communication was excellent! Leigh kept us updated multiple times a day about Diesel's well-being. Coming home to a spotless house after a long day of travel was the perfect ending to vacation. She went above and beyond in caring for Diesel and our home and exceeded all expectations. We are deeply grateful to have found Leigh; she's far more than a pet sitter to us—she's a remarkable human who provided the best care possible for Diesel.”
About: Hi! I’ve been a cat lover my whole life ever since I was born, I’ve always had a cat by my side. I grew up on a farm with both barn cats and house cats, and I’ve cared for two full litters from birth. From fluffy Maine Coons to fancy Persians to sweet strays, I’ve loved them all. I’m great with cats of all temperaments — shy, spicy, or snuggly — and I know how to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Cats are truly my favorite pet, and I’ll care for yours like they’re my own!
“Barbara did a great job taking care of my boys (cats) while I was away. She showed up as scheduled and took care of feeding and cleaning the litter boxes. I got photos each day which was fun to see and a video one day as well. Nice to know that they were well taken care of!!!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life, I have had dogs from all sizes even up to 110lbs!! My house is a very dog friendly home, my golden retriever absolutely loves to meet new friends! I live on the lake so if your pup loves to swim I have the perfect spot!! I do work full time but I make my own schedule and able to move days around to be around every day when I am needed! I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a long leash to let the dogs play outside! I also have an extra crate of your dog requires one! My dog is very friendly and absolutely adores to have a friend to play with!
About: What sets me apart is my combination of medical experience and attention to detail. I'm comfortable administering medications including injections and fluids so pets with chronic issues or post-surgery needs are no problem. I also genuinely don't mind (and actually take pride in) deep-cleaning litter boxes, cages, and small animal enclosures. You'll never come home to a lingering smell or a corner I've skipped. Reliable, thorough, and unfazed by the messy parts of pet care.
“First time using Rover and Liam isn’t used to strangers so we were both a bit nervous. Punctual; being right on time for the scheduled appointments, responsive with great communication and regular updates. The photos are a nice touch and helpful. Exceeded expectations. Thank you.”
“Our cats love when Diane comes by to check on them. Our youngest cat is scared of dang near everything and doesn't like strangers but even he comes out for playtime/pets when she comes by. She really takes the time to play with the boys and make sure they are well taken care of.”
“Billie was fantastic! Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She reached out regularly and sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing everything was going well. Additionally, she kept me informed about any packages that arrived. Billie also coordinated seamlessly with the next house and pet sitter, ensuring a smooth transition. The next sitter said the house was clean and my cat was well taken care of. I highly recommend her services!”
“This was our first time leaving our baby with anyone other than her grandma and we were very nervous. TeAsia eased our worries and gave us daily updates and photos and videos. It takes Sylvester a little bit to get used to people but she took to TeAsia right away. She seemed well cared for and loved. Overall we were very happy with our experience.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - New Haven
“Cameron has done great with our pup Mabel!! He is very patient and thorough and likes to make sure his clients are comfortable with the care and training he provides. Mabel loves going over there and getting to play with JJ and friends. It’s a bonus to have her get some training in too!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes for the past 10 years. Previous neighbors have trusted me with pet sitting and walking their dogs. I work from home so I am easily able to give your pets the care they need at all times. My 11-year-old daughter usually joins me-she’s an amazing helper! She loves all animals and they all love her! Pets & parents must be comfortable with her being part of the care team! I have a spacious, fenced-in yard and work from home, so your pet will receive lots of attention and care! Our family dog, an 11-year-old German Shepherd, sadly passed away in 2024. While we aren’t ready to welcome a new dog into our lives, I truly miss taking care of a pet. That’s why I see pet-sitting as the perfect way to share my love for animals.
About: Iv been around and taken care of all types and sizes of animals since I was little and always had such a love for them. Im currently looking for some extra work to fill my time until i have full books within my field of business. I also adore all animals and would love to spend my days with them. I have a fur baby at home who I play with and walk all the time, who love to have company over to have someone to play with.
About: I am a Veterinary Technician and a Professional Dog Trainer with over 10 years of experience. With a degree in Animal Science and extensive hands-on experience, I understand that safety is the top priority for every pet owner. When your pet stays with us, they will not only be safe but will also have a fun and enriching experience. In addition to boarding, we offer professional Training and Grooming services tailored to each dog's needs. My husband works nights and is home during the day to provide expert care and supervision for your pets. As dedicated owners of show dogs, we take pet care seriously and strive to maintain the highest standards in every aspect of our services. Our property features two fully fenced yards for play and exercise. The first is a secure 6-foot chain link and privacy-fenced potty yard, measuring approximately 20 ft x 60 ft. The second is a spacious, fully fenced double lot with rolling hills and lush grass, providing the perfect environment for your pet to run, play, and explore. *Dogs in our care must be crate trained during down time & at night. When we are not at Dog Shows or Training we are at home with our dogs. My husband works nights which means your pets will be left alone minimally. We have 2 fully fenced in yards. A smaller yard with 6ft privacy fence and a large play yard with 4ft roller panels. We do offer medical boarding on a case by case basis at an additional rate.
About: We live on 5 acres, approx 1/3-2/3 acre fenced. I am an experienced, responsible person that is also timely and dependable. Our 2 labs are very spoiled. I’ve had dogs for 20+ years and am experienced with giving pets medications if it is required, as well as feeding them. I also have senior pet experience. Medication & food would need to be provided by pet owners. We can accommodate overnight stays. Pets can be in crates or in beds depending on your/their preference. I treat every pet special. Currently my availability is open. I am an early riser up by 5am daily. I work from home and pets can access a fenced yard. I’m familiar with providing daily meds & special meals/food for pets as well. Our 2 labs are friendly and get along with other dogs. Both our dogs are fixed (spayed & neutered). Our backyard is fenced and secured. Our deck has a ramp (no stairs) so easy access for puppies and senior dogs. When you dog is in our backyard they will be supervised. We allow dogs on our furniture.
“Tara was great. Our first ever using Rover and we couldn’t be happier! We were able to enjoy the morning and afternoon knowing our precious dog was well taking care of of. Thank you so much Tara!!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 11 but I have had my own pets since birth. I have had a Pug, Golden Retriever, German shepherd, Great Dane and some mutts. The cats have mostly been strays we have took in but I have also worked with main coons and Savannah cats. I have yet to meet a breed i didn’t love. I also have worked in several places where I take care of bathing, grooming, and nail trims. I can also give meds as I just recently lost a pup who I was giving seizure medication to. So I am prepared if that does happen with your animals as well. I also have a dog who had anxiety who we gave medication to. I’m A stay at home mom currently who is trying to earn some income to save up for Christmas. I am available anytime day or night. I would prefer to watch at your place, but I do have a Leash they can be hooked to as well as a pretty big crate that most dogs can fit into! I do have 2 small children that they would be around if they did stay with me!
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—dogs, cats, and all the little personalities in between. From playful puppies to sweet senior pets (and independent but cuddly cats), I’m patient, gentle, and follow routines closely so everyone feels safe and loved. Expect lots of updates, photos, and care from your pet’s second favorite human 💛🐾 I'm currently available full time, 7 days a week. I am available for dog walking or spending time dropping by and feeding your fur babies (canine or feline). When I’m caring for pets in your home, I stick closely to their normal routine so everything feels familiar and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed on time, walked or played with, given lots of love, and kept safe and comfortable. I’m happy to handle litter boxes, medications if needed, and special instructions—plus I always send updates and photos so you know your pets are happy and well cared for by their second favorite human 🐾💛
About: I love big dogs, little dogs, and all in between. I've had two wonderful Golden Retrievers and I'm looking forward to caring for your furbabies. I'm retired and am now looking forward to an enjoyable career as a pet sitter. I'm available 7 days a week, very flexible schedule. My husband and I are retired and are both huge animal lovers. Our Goldens crossed the Rainbow bridge and petsitting is a way to fill the void they left in our lives. We did have a beautiful cat but she passed away from cancer in September 2025. We no longer have any pets in our home. Since I am retired I'll have lots of time to spoil your pets! I'm an early riser so a walk first thing in the morning is fairly routine. Dogs are taken on short walks 3 or 4 times a day and given lots of love and attention. If owners are ok with it they are allowed on furniture and are allowed to sleep on my bed.
About: I have had my 2 dogs since they are 8 weeks old. I would be so happy to look after your babies. I have a fenced yard with protection from dogs getting out. I currently work from home more than 3 days a week and can change accordingly. I’m flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. Your babies will have 24/7 care and love with us. I have a fenced yard, a large dog crate, couple dog beds. I have one golden retriever and a Labrador retriever. They are very friendly and playful. We have giant water fountain and toys for dogs.
“Molly is a great sitter and I 100% recommend her. Her house is very pet friendly and her children are respectful and kind toward the pet guests. Their family's dog is super sweet and got along just fine. The yard is perfect for the dogs to run around and play and sniff. If I could afford it I'd bring Chloe here more often just to get some "dog time".”
About: Hi! My name is Maria! I’ve been caring for animals of all kinds since I was a young girl. I have previously volunteered for an animal rescue, and have previously worked for a kennel and groomer. Caring for animals is just a part of who I am. I am comfortable working with any size/breed of dog. While I don't have much time on here on Rover, I have been pet sitting for well over 10 years for friends and family. I am a stay at home mom so I am able to provide around the clock care for your pet. I am extremely flexible on scheduling for this reason. Pets in my care will be treated with the same care and treatment that I give my own dog. They will be loved, looked after, and kept safe. I do ask that pets are comfortable sleeping in a crate/kennel at night.
About: Born and Raised with dogs my entire life. Active lifestyle for pets in a safe environment. House filled with children with additional love and attention for your special pet. I work with a flexible job schedule and a fiance as a stay home mom, so someone is always available to be home with your loved one or stopping by to check on them. My home has a fenced in yard to create an open space for dogs to sprint to run as they burn energy and stay safe. The dogs have a couch they are free to get comfortable on and get cuddles when they’re ready. We already have additional crates if they are crate trained or need a safe place with their favorite toy if their getting over stimulated.
“Wendy and her husband did a terrific job of watching my little guy Toby. You can tell immediately they are dog lovers and treated Toby just as one of theirs or better! I would definitely recommend Wendy if you're looking for a good dog sitter.”
About: Former vet office employee turned SAHM looking for pets to love on from my home. Excited to give quality attention to every pet in my care. I’m a stay at home mom to one kiddo so we are home most days/ evenings to play in the yard, go on walks, or just snuggle on the couch.

“Audrey is fabulous! She helped me out on short notice when the sitter I set for a week cancelled on me. Luna loved her right away! She sent great updates & pictures for each walk this week!

I’ve worked in an animal shelter, giving me experience with a wide range of behaviors, personalities, and care needs. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for exotics such as reptiles, spiders, and birds. I treat every pet like my own and tailor my care to what makes them feel safest and happiest.

I am a single mother so I do have to make time for my daughter on top of loving many animals. Most days I am available after 8:30am to 2:30pm sometimes until 5pm. I have a fenced yard i would habe to do a meet and greet with the pets in my household and other pets from other homes first if I had them stay with me.
About: When I was young I started dog sitting my neighbors, families and friends dog and I’ve love it since then. Dogs are my spirit animals and they deserve the world! I work in a hospital and have a part time job. After 3-4pm I can definitely hangout with your pups. Whether for a walk or go to the park. Provide a balanced and appropriate diet for the pet based on its species, age, and health requirements. Avoid overfeeding. Always ensure access to fresh, clean water for your pet. Regularly check and refill the water bowl to keep your pet hydrated. Engage your pet in regular physical activity suitable for its species. This could include walks, playtime, or other forms of exercise to keep them healthy and active. Depending on the type of pet, grooming needs may vary. Regular grooming such as brushing, bathing, nail trimming, and dental care are essential for their health and well-being.

About: Hi! My name is Gaby and I’m the most genuine animal lover ever. All my life, I have always had pups in my home or worked professionally with them which is why I joined Rover so I could work and do what I love at the same time. I do Rover full time and I don’t have any fur babies of my own at the moment, so I’m able to dedicate all my time and attention to yours 🐾☺️ I've worked at Kennelwood Animal Resort and Y Bark Alone which are daycare/boarding businesses and I absolutely loved it. I was taught how to kennel them properly, administer meds, and how to deal with all types of animal behavior big and small. With this being said, you can always trust your fur babies in my presence. He or she will always be the number one priority and be treated as if they were my own. Lastly, my goal is to build a relationship and longevity with the pup/owner so I can be the first person you think of when looking for a sitter knowing that they’re in great hands. I’m extremely excited to have the pleasure of being apart of Rover and hope to take care of your precious babies soon! Rover is my full time job at the moment so my schedule is very open to give your pet the proper time and attention they deserve. How I care for your fur baby is completely contingent on the owner. I follow all guidelines they have set in place whatever those may be. But you can trust they are always in the best of hands.
