About: I grew up with a German Shepherd, so Iâm familiar with the care, attention, and patience that dogs need. Iâm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping dogs on their usual routine. Iâm responsible, attentive, and will make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and cared for while youâre away. My schedule is fairly flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I can work with your petâs routine for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and Iâm happy to communicate with you throughout the stay so you know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet and home with care, respect, and responsibility. Iâll follow your petâs usual routines and any specific instructions you provide, while making sure theyâre safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. Iâll also keep your home clean and secure and communicate with you regularly so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.
About: Ive cared for pets since childhood. Iâm a father to one very anxious cat and have experience with many different cat and dog personalities. Iâm a medical student and have a flexible schedule. Iâve dealt with both human and animal emergencies so rest assured your pet is safe with me! Iâm here to work with you and your schedule. I have very few in person obligations at this time and am both flexible and adaptable I am very communicative through text and can call if there are ever any issues or you need additional items during sitting. I love taking pictures and will ensure you have many visual updates on your fur baby.

About: I can't imagine my life without animals. My family has owned several different species of animals since I was born, and I now own a standard poodle and domestic short hair cat. I understand they are not just an animal, but a member of the family who needs to be treated as such. I am comfortable walking, grooming, and feeding any size and aged dog. Walking can either be at a slow pace, or jogging, I just have to be informed prior. If I am dog sitting, I will be sure to give extra pets and loving to each animal, and can also groom the dog if requested. Looking for consistent clients.

About: I provide overnight boarding in my spacious, spotless apartment in Orange. Dogs in my care are treated like family: never crated unless requested, always supervised, and given plenty of love, cuddles, and regular walks throughout the day. I've cared for dogs of friends, family, and neighbors for years and understand that leaving your pet requires real trust. Your dog will have a calm, clean, private home environment, not a kennel. I'm a working professional with a flexible schedule, so your pup will never be left alone for long. Small to medium breeds welcome! work full-time during weekdays but pets are never left alone for more than 4 hours at a time. Mornings start with feeding, outdoor time, and play before I head to work. Iâm fully available evenings, nights, and weekends. Overnight stays are my specialty â your pet will have company throughout the evening and morning when they need it most. I can accommodate last-minute bookings and am flexible with drop-off and pick-up times Your pet will stay in my spacious, clean private home in a quiet Milford neighborhood just minutes from the Long Island Sound, complete with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and fresh air. I have a 4-year-old Tibetan Spaniel named Peaches who is calm, gentle, and friendly with both dogs and cats â making her the perfect low-key companion for visiting pets. Sheâs easygoing and wonât overwhelm anxious or shy animals. Cats have their own dedicated private room with daily cleaned litter boxes, fresh water, and cozy spots to relax â completely separate from dogs for a stress-free stay. I provide daily photo and text updates so you always know your fur baby is happy and safe. No crates unless specifically requested â just a warm, loving home environment.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have loved every minute of their companionship. When I went to college I adopted two kittens and since then have gotten a third. I have dog sat for a week at a time; providing detailed care and a friendly demeanor that leaves pets feeling at ease. I am experienced with cats and dogs of all ages. I own 3 cats ranging in age from 1 to 14. I am familiar with litter box training as well as medication administration within food. I am a passionate pet caregiver and have a huge heart that welcomes pets of all kinds. I work in the school systems therefore I am off for the summer! Starting July 27th I am available full time! I am only away August 6-9. I treat all pets with kindness, respect and patience. Animals are my true joy in life and I absolutely love spending time with them. I pledge to treat your pets with the same love I show my own!
âHeather has been a communicative, responsible, and caring caregiver for our two kittens. She always sends updates and photos that let us know they are happy and cared for. We have really enjoyed working with her!â


âAlan is an incredibly thoughtful and considerate pet sitter. We went on vacation for a couple of weeks and were worry-free due to Alanâs responsive communication and reliability. Itâs clear he takes his role seriously. We are so grateful to have hired him. He is a trustworthy and kind individual!â

About: My first âjobâ 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 childrenâs 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. Petsâ safety is always the number one priority. With me, your pet will never be unattended or in dangerous situations. I also value other peopleâs space and home.
About: Hello! My name is Shelby and I am a recent grad from Georgetown University! After years of volunteering at LaMancha animal rescue and dog walking / pet sitting on the Wag app, my favorite way to spend my spare time is with furry friends. I would love to meet some new fur babies on Rover!! I work from 8:00-4:30 every weekday, but my weekends are very open. Iâm an early bird so I have no problem stopping by before work, and I have access to a car so I donât mind a long(ish) journey :) I am comfortable crating dogs and attentive to feeding/medication details. As a pet lover, you bet Iâm comfortable playing with and giving lots of belly rubs to your furbaby !

About: Ever since I was little, iâve taken care of dogs that are stray as my own, iâve raised my own dogs of many types of breeds including shitzu, pitbull, yorkie, etc. and iâve known to take care of them in the serious moments when theyâre sick and know how to handle medication, and in the best moments in playtime with non stop energy! At the moment, I am out of school for the summer and I am working part-time but with no set schedule, so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your babies, and I offer drop-ins as well. Just send me a message and we can figure something out! We used to crate our dogs but weâve recently stopped, but I can do that if those are your rules. I take care of my own cat switching her litter box every 1-2 weeks, feeding her 2 times a day, I brush her fur and have toys for her as well! With my dogs, they also get fed 2 times a day, they get walked most days, and they have their own grass potty area, and they have plenty of toys (lol).

About: I have been cat-obsessed for as long as I can remember (even going so far as putting âcatâ as my nickname in the 5th grade yearbook, embarrassingly). Understanding a catâs body language has become second nature after living with cats for my entire life. I am extremely patient with shy kitties who might take some time to get comfortable with a new person. But donât mistake this as a low-effort cop-out - I fully recognize that cats need enrichment and play and am happy to use a string, mouse toy, laser pointer, spring, or random shoelace to make sure your kitty uses up some energy from their many cat naps. Unfortunately my current housing does not allow pets, so Peppermint is with her sisters at my familyâs house. I only work on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so your pets will be my top priority for the rest of the week! I can drop by for an early or late feeding time, so your petsâ routine stays consistent even while youâre away! Your kitties will stay comfortable in their own space and with their normal routine (whatever that may be). You can expect a range of services such as feeding, refilling water dishes, playing, petting, brushing, cleaning litter boxes, and taking care of any hairballs.

âI was unexpectedly hospitalized ad needed care for my cat. On short notice, Jasmine was able to take her alleviating the worry about my catâs care. I am grateful and would definitely recommend and use her service again.â

About: Iâve lived with dogs my entire life, as well as cats, reptiles and small animals. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, a leopard gecko, 2 guinea pigs, 1 bird, and 3 turtles. Throughout the years Iâve learned so much that Iâm able to provide love, care, and compassion. I work Monday through Friday. Some days during the week Iâm able to work from home. On the weekends Iâm 100% free. I can provide services in the morning and evenings during the week and anytime on the weekends. I provide reliable, compassionate, and attentive care for your pets while youâre away. Whether itâs regular daily drop-ins, feeding and medication routines, and walk times, I ensure your pets maintain their normal routines in the safety and comfort of their own home.
âChristyna was wonderful! She was very polite, communicative, and followed all of our care instructions. She went above and beyond. It made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Even our shy cats warmed up to her quickly, which says a lot. We felt very confident that our pets were in great hands and would absolutely book with her again!â

âMolly was great. One of our cats, Maggie, absolutely adored her. She is a very finicky cat & has not liked any of our other sitters at all! When we came home she went through Molly withdrawals đ. That alone showed us Molly is perfect for us. Molly was very conscientious & professional. Knowing sheâs a vet tech gave us extra piece of mind in case something happened. She connected with our cats perfectly. She contacted us daily with updates & pictures. She answered immediately if we had any questions or concerns. We will definitely rebook with her!â

About: I currently work full time from home M-F, 9-5. I am able to do drop ins after or before on weekdays, or anytime on the weekends. I prioritize your cat's safety by maintaining their routine, keeping their environment secure, providing fresh food and water, monitoring their health and behavior, and ensuring they receive plenty of attention and care while you're away. My goal is to keep your cat happy, comfortable, and safe at all times. đžâ¤ď¸

âThis was my first time using Rover so didnât know what to expect but Hannah was great! Received updates and photos every day! She also answered every question this crazy cat mama asked. Iâm home and my Finn looks great. 5 stars!â

Anna was just so wonderful with my older cat Lola. Anna is very attentive and took great care to find out as much as she could about Lola before the visits. Lola is normally shy with strangers but Anna earned her trust easily so I felt very comfortable knowing that Lola was in such good hands.

Zhiyu was amazing! She was incredibly kind, responsible, and attentive with our pets. She followed all of our instructions carefully, kept us updated, and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. We came home to happy pets and everything well taken care of. We would definitely ask her to help us again. Highly recommend her!
Lorelei was wonderful! She did a meet and greet with the kitties before her check ins and spent extra time with them to make sure they were entertained and cared for. It was such a peace of mind to know they were well cared for while I was away. Will be booking her again!
Heather was phenomenal! Jasper warmed up to her right away, which is surprising! Jasper gave me a kiss when I came home so I guess he doesnât want to trade me in yet! The litter was clean and Heather took the time to vacuum up the litter and fur that Jasper inevitably leaves all over. We are so pleased with the care she took and the love and time she took with him. Thank you so much Heather!

Alan is an incredibly thoughtful and considerate pet sitter. We went on vacation for a couple of weeks and were worry-free due to Alanâs responsive communication and reliability. Itâs clear he takes his role seriously. We are so grateful to have hired him. He is a trustworthy and kind individual!

Sara is very attentive and conscientious which makes her trustworthy. She was flexible in scheduling to meet everybody's needs. She took really good care of my cat. I could tell, because when my cat has had a good sitter, she is glad to see me when I get home but not frantic for my attention. Finally, Sara got my cat to play in a way I haven't been able to do (and still can't!) which goes to show that she is a true cat person. (I'm sure she takes good care of dogs, too.) I recommend Sara without hesitation.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in West Haven is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 450 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across West Haven. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your catsâ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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 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.
