About: I've been a dog owner for the last 20 years. All my dogs have been rescues, several have been shy dogs that needed extra TLC. I have a special talent connecting with shy dogs and helping them come out of their shell. I also love working with extroverted dogs who love to play and interact. I have a full-time mostly WFH job. I'm available for after-hour drop ins and walks, weekend visits, overnights, and boarding. I know how hard it can be to find petcare (especially during off hours) and I'd like to help with that. My home is safe and secure with a small fenced in backyard away from the road. I have two dogs to keep your pets company. I can help with crating your dog as well. Our home is quiet, serene, and private.
“Jen is a great sitter as always and is our go to sitter! She does a great job keeping Nico’s litter and food areas clean, and sends cute videos at every visit! Definitely recommend”
“Katherine was amazing, especially with my senior dog! She gave him his medication at the correct time, took him on lots of walks, and dealt with his separation anxiety well. I could tell she really cared and that they both enjoyed each other's company. She sent tons of cute pictures! She also did a great job of feeding my cat, who predictably decided to hide every time Katherine visited. But she wasn't alarmed by the lack of cat sightings and just reported on her feedings and how much food she had eaten between visits. I would definitely hire Katherine to petsit again! She was great!”
“We had confidence in Heather looking after our cats from the moment we met her at the meet and greet. She did an amazing job looking after the cats sending us updates and keeping us informed on how they were doing. We definitely will be using her again when we go away.”
“Atlas was absolutely amazing! He took fantastic care of my little guy, had a kind presence, and I appreciated he was patience with my last minute request and schedule adjustments. I would definitely book with Atlas again!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who has been surrounded by cats my entire life. Caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. I have experience dog sitting for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I'm also comfortable caring for pets with special needs, including administering medications and following detailed care instructions to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable while you're away. As an educator, I've also cared for classroom pets throughout my career, including fish and reptiles. In addition, I have experience caring for pet birds. Because of this, I'm comfortable caring for a wide variety of animals—not just dogs and cats. Whether your family includes a playful puppy, an independent cat or birds! I'll make sure they receive attentive, compassionate care. I'm dependable, patient, and have plenty of energy for long walks, playtime, and keeping active pets engaged. If your pet prefers a quieter pace, I'm just as happy providing companionship, cuddles, and a calm, reassuring presence. As a teacher, I'm organized, responsible, and an excellent communicator. You can count on me to follow your pet's routine carefully and keep you updated with photos and messages, so you'll always have peace of mind while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and can't wait to meet your furry, feathered, or scaly family members! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work during the day, so I'm available most weekdays after 4:00 PM for evening walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and medication administration if needed. I'm also available on many weekends and can often accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has unique routines, preferences, and needs, and I take the time to learn what helps them feel safe and comfortable. Whether it's maintaining their regular feeding schedule, administering medication, cleaning litter boxes or habitats, or following specific care instructions, I'll treat your pet with the same love and attention I would give my own. I believe in open communication and will provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away. I respect my clients' homes, keep them clean and secure, and make sure doors, gates, and enclosures are safely closed before I leave. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives both you and your pets complete peace of mind.
“Joseph is great! This was our first time using Rover. Our cat Walter loved him! Joseph was always on time and sent us photos and updates promptly! Highly recommend”
“Jess was available with only a few days notice and was very prompt with all responses while scheduling. While last minute isn’t how I like to roll, our holiday plans changed unexpectedly. She did a great job with my instructions caring for our senior cat and left everything in perfect order. I’d recommend her without hesitation!”
“Milo was great! They dropped in on my cat, followed feeding/medication directions, stayed for some quality time and sent some photos! Would not hesitate to hire Milo again!”
“Alyssa always takes the best care of our 3 cats! She goes above and beyond to make sure they are doing well and keeps me posted the whole time. Will always be happy to book her again!”
“Kaprice was absolutely excellent!!! She was very patient with my shy kitty and was very understanding when I requested to add more visits and change the times. Highly recommend!!!”
“Jessie was awesome! She came to visit us at the apartment beforehand and we went over everything she needed to keep our two cats comfortable. My cats are shy to strangers, but she was confident she would win them over. The next day she came in and cleaned up a furball, managed to coax them out, and played with them for the half-hour. Now that the cats know her, we will definitely be asking Jessie to watch them again!”
“Emily is awesome! I always feel at ease when I know she is coming to visit my pup when I am at work 🤍 Her post walk reports make me smile knowing my doggo had a fun adventure. Emily is caring and thoughtful, she goes above and beyond! My dog and I 1,000% recommend her 🩵🩵 🐶”
“Diana was excellent to work with, from beginning to end. We had a relatively short timeline before going out of town but Diana was very prompt in her communication, notes about our dog and the walks they went on were clear, and we felt very comfortable with her coming into our home while away. We would definitely work with Diana again in the future. Highly recommended.”
About: Great to meet you! I have over 14 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals ranging from dogs to cats to snakes, bearded dragons, and even ants (yes I know)... and the list goes on! Ever since I can remember, I've always loved animals (dogs especially). To fulfill my wish to have a pet, I began volunteering at a local animal shelter and would frequently visit just to spend time with some of the animals and give them some love. There, I was able to learn how to better care for our furry friends, both elderly and young. Being able to play with them was just a bonus for me! While your dog is with me they will have access to a big fenced yard to play in and enjoy. If you'd prefer them to stay in their natural environment, that's fine too! Whatever makes them most comfortable, I'm happy to provide. Every pet's needs & wants are different, which I take the time to acknowledge when caring for them. My top priority is making sure your pets are safe, loved, and content while you're away. Feel free to message me if you have any questions and I'd be happy to help! Thanks for considering me! I'd love to start our mornings off with a nice hike or walk at my nearby beach. Working from home, your pets will get plenty of time and attention in my care! While boarding, they will have access to roam and play about in a fenced in yard under my supervision. Rest assured, I will take care of your babies as if they were my own. Making sure also to give you daily updates so you know your pup is well cared for!

I have worked in animal shelters, veterinary hospitals, and now I work currently for Myself as a dog groomer. I love every pet like my own. I am a dog groomer with an open calendar.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Haven
Anna did a great job taking care of my cats, she dropped by my home twice a day to ensure their fed and that the litter was cleaned, and made sure to give them some personal attention too, brushing and petting them. She took pictures of my cats everyday and kept me well updated on them which helped me feel alot less anxious about leaving them for a week. I would def book her again for any future vacations!
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 doesn’t 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!
Katherine was amazing, especially with my senior dog! She gave him his medication at the correct time, took him on lots of walks, and dealt with his separation anxiety well. I could tell she really cared and that they both enjoyed each other's company. She sent tons of cute pictures! She also did a great job of feeding my cat, who predictably decided to hide every time Katherine visited. But she wasn't alarmed by the lack of cat sightings and just reported on her feedings and how much food she had eaten between visits. I would definitely hire Katherine to petsit again! She was great!
Alan is an incredibly thoughtful and considerate pet sitter. We went on vacation for a couple of weeks and were worry-free due to Alan’s responsive communication and reliability. It’s clear he takes his role seriously. We are so grateful to have hired him. He is a trustworthy and kind individual!
Lamisa was an excellent cat sitter. She was very friendly and easy to communicate with, and genuinely good with cats. She was consistently on time during each visit. I truly appreciated the reliability and care they provided and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable and kind pet sitter.
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.
Azeen was amazing with my cat!! She took such great care of her, and I can tell my cat really liked her. My cat is very affectionate and kind of annoying about it (i.e. always begging for attention), but Azeen was wonderful with her and gave her plenty of attention. She sent a lot of great pictures of them hanging out, playing, and her brushing my cat (which she loves). She even spent time trying to debug my litter robot when it decided to act up, and set up a backup litterbox when that became necessary. She did the dishes even though I told her it was okay not to, and she generally kept my home very tidy. Most importantly, I had piece of mind knowing she was taking great care of my cat!! Also had very easy and timely communication. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in West Haven on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,430 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 cats’ 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, don’t 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 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 cat, 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.

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.
