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 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.
“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!”
“Joseph takes such good care of all our pets… They all feel very comfortable with him! Much less hysteria from them when I return lol! Makes it so much easier to go away knowing they have such good care.”
“This is my second booking with Zuleima and she is great with my two fur babies. Does exactly what you need and more, which is very much appreciated! Definitely will continue to book her when I have to go away.”
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.
“Super helpful with some last-minute cat feedings! I had some video instructions that ended up not going through in time for her first visit, and Jessica was able to figure it all out like a pro.”
“Emily is the best sitter I've known. She treats my kids like her own and they love her I've been using sitters since 1994 and she is truly the best!! We are lucky!!”
“Kelli was a great cat-sitter for our three cats. She was dedicated and made sure to spend time with all of them. One of our cats needs medication twice a day and she was able to administer it to her easily. She also played with our two younger cats, who love attention. When we came home, they appeared well taken care of. Would definitely book her again!”
“Kaprice was kind and patient with our cat Dot while we were away. She followed our care instructions, left visit notes, and gave Dot lots of pets. I would recommend hiring her to care for your furry family member!”
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!
“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: 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’m bilingual! Spanish and English! Since I was a kid I been around dogs, I’ve had 5 dogs in theses 20 years of my life, I love dogs they are so lovely! I work part time (3-days) 9-5 shift at a Pediatric Dental Office as a receptionist and I am also a college student so dog sitting fits perfectly with my schedule. I have a dog named Lexi and she loves to meet new dogs friends, I’m pretty sure my dog would pleases to meet your doggy!!
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: 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.

Pet 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!
I would strongly recommend Abigail to everyone! She was extremely thorough when asking about all of our pet’s needs. She was prompt, communicative, and exceptionally friendly with us. Plus, it is so apparent how much compassion and love she has for animals. Will definitely be hiring Abigail in the future. 10/10.
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!
I can’t say enough good things about Mika! Having someone come into your home and care for your pets requires a lot of trust, and she have exceeded every expectation. Mika is reliable, communicative, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. Frank & Harold were happy, well cared for, and comfortable in their own environment while I was away, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. I appreciated the updates, photos, and attention to detail, and it was obvious that my dog received plenty of love and attention. Coming home to a happy pet and a well-cared-for home was the best feeling. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely be using her again!
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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a West Haven stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

- 96% can help with daily exercise

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 pet, 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.
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.
