About: i worked at a dog daycare for a few years while my dog was a puppy and i loved it so much! i love animals and love connecting with them. i appriciate this app so much bc i myself used to have a full time job that needed me to need pet sitters for my job.. i always got such amazing people to come take care of drax & rocket. i want others to feel the same with me as i take care of theirs! i want to transition into dog walking full time! so as i am part time at my job i have alot of open time to help others! i will follow owners instructions on what the animals can and can’t do! i will prioritize mental stimulation as well as exercise to make sure they are exerting all their energy in their time with me so they can sleep the times we / their owners are apart!
About: I have had multiple dogs in my lifetime from puppyhood to their senior years, so I am familiar with care needed at every stage, including medication, diapers, or urinary wraps. Aside from my own pets, I have boarded and pet-sat many dogs with varying personalities, and I pride myself on being able to meet each one where they’re at. I work a flexible job that offers work-from-home hours, so I can shift my schedule to give your dog the care and attention it deserves! I have a backyard that is about 85% fenced, and live near several parks and hiking trails if your dog prefers an active lifestyle. I can also accommodate low-energy dogs who prefer to lay inside all day! I have a medium-sized crate in my home, but don’t mind dogs who prefer to stay out or join me on the furniture. I have my own dog, but he will not be with me for the month of July, so your dog can enjoy plenty of toys while being the center of attention :)
About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs and cats. My responsibilities have included feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes and living areas, administering medications when needed, and ensuring pets receive plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I am attentive to each pet's individual needs and prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I am reliable, patient, and committed to providing loving, responsible care while owners are away. I’m currently unemployed while my children are in daycare and after school programs. Outside of appointments I’m free spending time with my cats and my females kittens I currently have 2 black cats. My female whom I rescued recently was pregnant and had 6 babies(3 weeks old) I’ve also had dogs and cats in my past. I love animals. My home is clean and organized.
About: I've had dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own. I'm comfortable with walks for leash-trained dogs, playtime, feeding, and providing plenty of love and attention. I can administer oral medications, such as pills, but I'm not comfortable giving injections. I believe in following each dog's routine, using the commands they're familiar with, and creating a calm, positive, and low-stress environment so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm currently a full-time remote student, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide reliable care, walks, playtime, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day. Because I spend most of my time at home, I can give pets the attention, patience, and companionship they deserve while keeping their routines as consistent as possible. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I care for every pet according to their individual routine and their owner's instructions. I take the time to learn each pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and preferences to help them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I provide plenty of attention, enrichment, and patience while respecting each animal's personality and boundaries. My goal is to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care while respecting each pet's unique needs.
About: Caring for animals has been a constant part of my life. I grew up in a home that always had two dogs at a time, and before moving out, my family had raised six wonderful dogs together. From energetic pups to older companions, I’ve experienced the full range of what it means to care for dogs through different stages of life. I currently share my home with two special-needs cats, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. Managing medications, monitoring behavior changes, and creating a calm, safe environment are all things I take seriously. My primary goal when caring for your pet is simple: I want them to feel happy, secure, and relaxed while you’re away. I also know how important peace of mind is for owners. I’m communicative, reliable, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and cared for. I treat every animal with gentleness, respect, and the kind of attention I would want for my own pets. I work remotely in IT for a nonprofit organization, which gives me a very flexible weekday schedule. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy having some furry company during the week. Whether that means a midday walk to break up my workday or a fuzzy companion nearby while I’m at my desk. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to structure my schedule around walks, feeding times, medication needs, or check-ins. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches, and you can expect consistent updates while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your routines and instructions carefully. I follow feeding schedules, medication needs, walking routines, and house rules closely so your pet’s world feels as consistent and familiar as possible while you’re away. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident everything is going smoothly. If your pet stays in my home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. They will have their own dedicated space in my finished basement office that is clean, hazard-free, and separate from my cats. This allows visiting pets to relax without feeling overwhelmed, and ensures everyone stays safe and stress-free. The space includes a comfortable couch just for them, plenty of room to stretch out, and a calm environment away from household noise. I’m home during the day, so they’ll receive regular supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention, balanced with quiet time to rest.
About: As a lifelong dog owner and proud owner of a golden retriever, I understand the love and care these furry friends deserve. I am passionate about providing the best companionship, exercise, and attention to your dog—just like I do for my own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’m dedicated to making sure your dog feels loved, safe, and happy. Let me be your trusted partner in caring for your pup and giving them the attention they deserve! I’m an educator and currently have an open summer schedule to give your dog plenty of love and attention. I am open for a daily or weekly care plan. The way I care for pets, whether in my own home or a client's, depends on their specific needs and the services provided. I prioritize safety, love, and attention. I ensure they have water and food. I tailor activities to their age, breed, and health requirements—like walks, playtime, or cuddles. If I'm caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their instructions carefully and keep open communication to ensure everything runs smoothly.

I’ve had 3 dogs and 2 cats and one lived for almost all my life so we both love animals and will treat them with the best care. We are currently looking for jobs and we have a happy life and are willing to start petsitting your pets anytime you need us. We are actually autistic. We have owned a lot of pets and we take extra care of our pets. We will do the best we can to take care of your animals. :)
“Marie has been walking our German Shepherd Lizzy for a few weeks now and has been great! Very reliable and has even been able to accommodate last minute walks when our schedules have been crazy! Really appreciate her hard work”

About: I am a full time dog groomer. I love dogs. Although I do not currently have any dogs of my own(cat mom of 2), I have been caring for dogs over 12 years. 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. I have a lot of free time to take dogs on walks or drop in for a play session a few days a week. I will not be accepting pets into my home, I have two cats that barely tolerate each other 😺 so providing me with the best routine for the safety and comfort of your pet and I will abide by such.
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!
“Peace of mind when it comes to our dogs being cared for is first and foremost. Emily provides total peace of mind knowing our pups love seeing her and their trust in her means we can trust in her. She is our 1st choice dog walker every time!”

“Jocelyn has excellent communication skills, arrives on time, is friendly and took great care of my pup! She came for a meet and greet before hand and everything went amazing. I’d definitely recommend Jocelyn.”

About: I have experience with short term and long term pet sitting. I have done drop ins as well as long term sitting while staying with pets in their home I work full time remotely and can work anywhere at anytime. So long as it is a reasonable distance from my home I can drop in at anytime to give your furry friend a walk or just some comfort and a treat. I always ask for a detailed list explaining how your pets should be cared for. I like to know how many times a day they are walked, how often and how much they should be fed, what commands the know etc. I also ask about their sleeping habits as well as their playing habits to ensure they are as comfortable as possible.

About: Hello there. I have been boarding dogs for over 10 years and have many regular customers. Before that I always had a dog. I am a dog lover that will treat your dog like my own. I have decided not to board dogs and stay at owners home from now on. Also I do dog walking. Safety is my number one priority while dog sitting and dog walking. I also take the dogs for daily walk. You can relax and go on vacation and know your dog is well taken care for. I send updates via text with pictures and videos to my customers so they can be sure their pup is having just as fun during his week as the client is. Looking for a mature, responsible house sitter, that does it all... look no further, send me a text. Look forward to hearing from you! I work another job part time so I am flexible when it comes down to scheduling walks or dog sitting overnight. I only work 20 hours a week I make sure dogs are well fed and get plenty of exercise. I spend at least a half hour with the dogs from drop in visits

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Haven
Juan was absolutely amazing…He walked my 13 year old Chihuahua Jack for a week and was very punctual, great communication and just an overall great person…Jack doesn’t always like everyone but in no time at all he was wagging his tail in anticipation of Juan coming to get him…have no fear when booking Juan.

Where do I begin, Lizzy was amazing…I had hip replacement surgery and Lizzy walked my boy Jack for over 2 weeks. Lizzy was easy to work with and made it easy for me to recover from my surgery and not stress on caring for Jack. She would feed him after his morning walk and doled out treats following his afternoon & evening walks. I have already referred several people in my building to Lizzy. I didn’t want to tell her but she she definitely be charging more 🤣 If you need a trustworthy person to care for your Furr babies then Lizzy is your girl.

Aleeki is so kind and reliable! She’s taken care of my dog a few times now and every time she is so communicative. I had some last minute schedule changes last weekend and she really went above and beyond to make sure my girl was well cared for. I appreciate her so much!
My dog can be picky with strangers, but she loves Yunwen. Yunwen is super sweet—she took my pup to a big grassy field to play, and brought water so she could drink on the way. I could tell my pup was super happy and relaxed after the walk. Yunwen is reliable, and genuinely cares about dogs. I’d 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a great walker!

The average cost for Dog Walking in West Haven on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your West Haven. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in West Haven.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Haven. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
