“Rachel did a fantastic job with our two older cats who both need medicine twice a day. One of our cats can be a little fussy, and Rachel did so well with her. She embraced the challenge head on! All of the photos and daily notes were so great to have, and I really appreciate the great care that Rachel provided.”
“Alison and Tom are wonderful caretakers, and listen to all the quirky details my babies need. They leave you feeling that your pets are safe, and you are heard. Thank you Tom and Alison”
“Molly did an excellent job watching our guinea pigs. She was respectful of property and did a Meet N Greet prior to booking to ensure there were no issues. I felt comfortable leaving my pets with her. She sent photo updates and kept them from bickering with each other which can happen around dinnertime.”
“Savi my cat Max was well taken care by you this weekend, thank you. You followed all the drop-in instructions perfectly. We look forward to you taking care of him again soon.”
“Mary Anne is thoughtful, caring, and responsive. I feel lucky to have gotten on her busy calendar and will 100% contact her again. She loves animals and takes her business very seriously. 5 stars!!”
“Great with the kitties and very responsive. I felt like we could trust her in our home. She had a previous commitment one of the days we requested, so she introduced us to her partner who we met and also found trustworthy. They were a great team.”
“Midory was a wonderful sitter for my cats. She was so loving with them both (they tend to be afraid of strangers at first!). Loved all of the photos/updates. Very reliable. I would 100% book her again - thank you Midory!!”
“Anna did an amazing job watching Sylvester while I was away! Got updates and photos of him while I was gone. The house was also well taken care of when I returned.”
“Second time we've used Jurick, he was amazing just like the first time! Our cat Sunday loves it when he comes to take care of him. This time when we got home he stared at the door behind us wondering if Jurick was there too or if it was only us! 11/10, thanks Jurick!”
“Rachel was great. She somehow managed to get my old kitty out from under the bed and interact with her. Did a great job with the medications my cat needs as well. I highly recommend her.”
“Blue was great! Our cats loved Blue very quickly. Professional, kind, and went far and beyond taking care of our fur babies! This included turning on the AC when the temperatures were high, opening the windows for fresh air, and cleaning our cats vomit. We appreciated Blue for taking in our packages that were delivered. Blue was amazing and we plan to work with them again!”
“Julian was great with our typically shy kitty. I don't know how he did it, but our cat actually sat on the sofa with him for pets. We are so appreciative that Julian watched Cal over the holidays. Highly reccommend!”
“Hannah is amazing and a cat hero! I had a sitter cancel on me while I was already out of town due to inclement weather and Hannah saved the day! I reached out for a last minute, day of request and she quickly responded and immediately came to the rescue. To top it all off, she did a great job with my Oliver 😺 and she cleaned the bowls that had wet food in them, other sitters have not done this in the past and I so appreciate it. Top notch sitter, thank you Hannah!”
About: We love dogs - all sizes, shapes, and personalities. We grew up with dogs and can't imagine life without them. Sadly, we just lost our precious doodle to cancer and miss having a furbaby around. I have experience training basic commands and Ron can give injections if needed. He works from home full time and we have a large, fenced yard. I work full time Monday through Friday, but my husband Ron works from home and would love to get a break from his computer to play and snuggle. I get home most days around 4:45pm and can go for walks. We have a large, fenced yard for your pup to run and play. We also have a small covered dog run accessible by a dog door for when your furbaby needs a quick potty break.
About: I grew up bringing cats home, and have always been concerned with the humane treatment of animals. I am a conscientious animal lover who knows that dogs need to explore and sniff outside to calm themselves and to feed their interests. Most cats like to get repeatedly "combed" with damp hands to remove dust and loose fur. I listen to a dog to find what pace and range they are comfortable with, and let them go with their curiosity. Once a pet knows me, they are often overwhelmed with excitement to go out for their personal adventure; then I know that my work is for good - they are having fun and experiencing nature. The goal is to make your pet's life more fulfilled, calm and happy. Cheryl I work part-time, four hour shifts. When I stay with a pet I adjust my work schedule so that I work few shifts and enjoy my time with the pet. I strive to be away no longer than 5.5 hours at a time. I no longer bring new pets into my home because I had one elder dog staying who was incontinent and it was a problem with wall to wall carpeting...
About: Hi, I’m Fresca, your pet’s new favorite human! 🐾 I’ve been surrounded by furry friends my whole life, and I genuinely love spending time with animals—whether it’s tossing a ball, going on a sniff-filled stroll, or just hanging out on the couch for some solid cuddle time. I understand every pet has their own personality and needs, and I make it my mission to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy while you’re away. I’ll treat your fur baby like one of my own—with love, attention, and lots of fun. I work a 7-hour workday, a few days of the week, which means I’m away for a portion of the day—but I make sure pets in my care get plenty of love, attention, and exercise before and after work. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to walks, playtime, feeding, and snuggles, and I always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I do everything I can to keep their routine—and your home—just how you like it. I stick to feeding schedules, walk routes, and all those little details that make your pet feel safe and loved. Whether your pup needs daily meds, your cat has a favorite sunny window, or your senior dog needs a slower pace, I’ve got it covered with patience and care. I’m also happy to bring in the mail, water your plants, adjust lights, or work with any security systems you have in place. Basically—I’m here to give you total peace of mind while you’re away and make sure your pet feels like they never skipped a beat. And yes—you’ll absolutely get plenty of photo updates and cute check-ins while you’re gone. Because your fur baby deserves their own vacation report card 🐾💌

“B was absolutely wonderful with our pets and sent detailed updates and lots of photos on every check in. We could tell in the photos that the pets were really happy and trusted B. We would definitely recommend B and plan to book her services again in the future 😊”

Cheryl S.
“Cheryl has taken incredible care of our beloved fur baby, Petey, for a few years now, and we’ve never had a better sitter for her. We travel a lot, and have used boarding facilities and others to provide in-home care before, but Cheryl’s love of animals and her dedication to their well-being has now spoiled us forever. She really connects with pets and our 13-year-old Petey is always healthy, happy, and well-adjusted when we come home. Cheryl is able to get her to eat and relax when when we’re gone, and it’s really evident when we return... that’s priceless to us. We’ll never use anyone else so obviously, I highly recommend Cheryl’s services!”
Franchesca V.
“I can't say enough great things about Franchesca and the incredible care she provided for our two high-needs Frenchies. Both dogs require a lot of attention and one requires daily medication twice a day, and she handled everything with patience, confidence, and so much care. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cared about their well being and made sure they were comfortable while we were away. We came home to two very happy pups and peace of mind knowing they were in the best hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter.”

West Haven cat parents share their Rover experiences
Stellar!!!! The fluffballs love her! Thank you for taking care of those two again. Muffin is generally shy around people, but she came right out for you! I have a hard time leaving them, but I knew from previous experience that Adriana was the sitter I wanted. Flexibility, on time, attention to details, the photos and communication are why I was hoping she had availability. Thank you again. Happy Cats, Happy Life!
Annalise was a wonderful sitter! She sent us detailed updates every day, and great pictures of our pets. She took our active and anxious dog out every day and we came home to content, stress-free pets. We will definitely contact her again for future pet-sitting needs!
Emily did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were away for two weeks. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly made sure our cat felt safe and comfortable in our absence. When we got home, our cat was in great spirits and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind Emily provided and wouldn’t hesitate to ask her again in the future!
Leslie was so great with my two cats! She followed all my instructions and kept me updated with every visit! When I got home from my trip, my cats seemed to barely miss me, which is the best outcome, they clearly got plenty of attention while I was gone. I couldn’t be more pleased :)
Sara was amazing! She took such great care of our cats and even got our very skittish one to warm up to her, which was no small feat. She made sure they were well-fed, played with them, and gave them plenty of treats and attention. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
I’m so thankful for Caitlyn! Due to an accident I had a last minute request. I felt so much better knowing that she was going to be caring for my animals and it helped take some of the stress off of what I was dealing with. Caitlyn took great care of them and I hope to book with her again .
