“Viktoriya saved the day! Last minute drop in visit with my cat because the automatic feeder stopped working when I was out of town. She fixed the feeder, cleaned up a little mess the cat had left on the floor, and kept me up to date. Cat was hiding under the bed the whole time, but came out as soon as she left to get some food. So grateful she was available. Very professional service. Would highly recommend!”
“Bianca truly went above and beyond to take care of my two kitties, she sent me daily photos and updates and even scrubbed my carpet when one of them threw up. I would 1000% book again, she did an amazing job! <3”
“Jessica was great in handling and caring for our Maine Coon male cat who has anxiety issues when we leave town for a while. Communication was excellent including daily photos and an occasional video. Highly recommended!”
About: I have boarded both cat and dogs. I am available for daycare and drop in visits. I speak cat and I communicate very well with dogs too. I work full time M- F but I have no commitments evenings and weekends. I can walk, give care and play every morning and evening and full days on Saturdays and Sunday. I currently do not have a pet but would give all my love to your furry roommate. They will have my complete attention and tender loving care.
About: I currently spend a lot of time at home, so your pet will not be left alone for long periods. My home is safe, quiet, and has a spacious yard where pets can play and relax. I am gentle, responsible, and will treat your pet like my own. I can provide feeding, playtime, and companionship, and I will make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you are away. I and my family have a wonderful relationship with dogs. I spend most of my time at home, so I have a very flexible schedule for pet care. Your pet will have plenty of attention and will not be left alone for long periods. I am available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs, including feeding, walks, and playtime. I have a lovely yard and home alone with no kid or other pet, I only take only one pet at a time to make sure he/she gets enough care and attention.
About: 🐾 My Daily Pet Care Routine I provide a comfortable, loving, and structured environment for every dog in my care. I work to follow each pet parent’s normal routine as closely as possible while making sure their pup receives plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and affection throughout their stay. 🌅 Morning: Our first outdoor potty break is typically between 7:00–8:00 AM. ☀️ Lunch: Around lunchtime, we head outside for a good walk and potty break, giving your pup an opportunity to stretch their legs, explore, and get some fresh air. 🍽️ Dinner: Dinner and another outdoor break are typically around 6:00–7:00 PM. I will always follow your preferred feeding schedule and instructions. 🌙 Bedtime: We have one final walk and potty break between approximately 8:00–10:00 PM before settling in for the night. 🐕 On-Site Dog Park My apartment community has an on-site dog park, which gives us another convenient option for potty breaks, outdoor time, and play. The space may be especially comfortable for smaller breeds, although I regularly see dogs of different sizes using it for quick outdoor and potty breaks. Our community also provides dog waste stations and complimentary poop bags, making it easy to keep the area clean and comfortable for everyone. 🦴 Pet Supplies & Feeding I come prepared with dog bowls, treats, and dog food. However, I strongly encourage pet parents to provide their dog's usual food whenever possible so we can avoid unnecessary dietary changes or upset stomachs. I will follow the feeding schedule, portions, treats, and other instructions you provide. ❤️ Lots of Love Included Affection is always included! I love giving my four-legged guests cuddles, attention, companionship, and plenty of love. After losing my beloved dogs Mylo and Leo, caring for other people's pets has become especially meaningful to me. Every pup who stays with me gets treated with kindness and affection while their family is away. 💜 Affordable Pet Care If you look at my listed rates and they're outside your current budget, please don't hesitate to message me anyway. Tell me about your pet, the dates you need care, and what you're working with financially. When possible, I'm happy to discuss adjustments and find an arrangement that works for both of us. I understand that expenses can add up quickly, especially in today's economy. I want dependable, loving pet care to remain accessible while still providing your pet with the attention and quality of care they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! 🐾 I'm currently a remote worker from home. So they will have access to me at my home 24/7. Our daily current schedule is as follows. 5am wake up 530 potty time 9am breakfast and walk 2pm long walk 5-6pm Dinner 8pm+ Quiet time with our blankets and dog TV time I have a secured apartment and we always make sure the dogs are leashes first before opening the door to go outside. I am conveniently located next door to a local bike path where we walk and run.
“Tina was great! She took care of my cat while I was away. Tina offered to meet a few days prior which was great. Very professional and truly cares about your pet(s). She also sent plenty of pictures and detailed check-ins of all of her visits. Came back home to a happy cat! Highly recommended”
“Alissa took such great care of my baby girl Opal! I could tell she missed me but also "approved" of her caretaker in my absence, which says a lot! I particularly appreciated Alissa's thorough notes on how each visit went. Happy to know she would look in on my baby again!”
About: I’m a loving and responsible cat owner with two cats of my own. Caring for them has taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention to each pet’s individual personality are. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and respect I give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. I’m able to provide consistent visits, feeding, playtime, walks, and companionship while keeping each pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I follow your care instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are supervised and comfortable. I’ll also treat your home with respect and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.

Mary Anne did a fantastic job pet sitting our cat. We enjoyed our vacation more than ever knowing that she was well. Taken care of. Everything was in order when we returned and we will definitely definitely use her again. Thank you for giving us peace of mind Mary Anne.
Alex is awesome! They were great with my cat who needs daily meds. Super communicative w/ quick response times & was also flexible when I gave info/asked for things I didn’t think to give on the initial meetings. Will def return to Alex for next time I’m out of town!
Lauren took great care of our shy cat and made sure to give him the space he needed, while also playing and interacting with him in a way that made him comfortable. She even cleaned up any messes we had while we were gone, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend her as a sitter!
Viktoriya saved the day! Last minute drop in visit with my cat because the automatic feeder stopped working when I was out of town. She fixed the feeder, cleaned up a little mess the cat had left on the floor, and kept me up to date. Cat was hiding under the bed the whole time, but came out as soon as she left to get some food. So grateful she was available. Very professional service. Would highly recommend!
I had Freya do a quick drop-in visit to prep her for some upcoming stays I booked. She was very attentive to my plethora of details and asked questions to ensure she understood. I was clear she really wants to provide great service and make sure my cat is well cared! It was a good beginning!
Sophia was amazing. Before the first day she came to meet us and the cats and any listened carefully for instructions about how to feed the cats and anything they needed. She asked questions about needs, food, and if they needed medicine or anything special. When the time came she was great and communicated clearly and took pictures. She went above and beyond and even did extra I didn't ask of her. I would recommend her 10/10 times and will book her again.
Casey is easily the best pet sitter we have ever had. She is communicative, caring, and attentive. Our cat’s health declined while we were out of town and she gave us detailed updates and went above and beyond to keep us informed and him comfortable. We can’t recommend her enough.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in West Haven is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $31 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 pet’s 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.

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 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 sitter’s 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, you’ll 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.
