“Clara is great at communicating in advance when there are schedule conflicts (which have been minimal) and in being flexible when things are different for our schedule. And she loves our pup as much as we do.”
“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”
“Chloe is amazing; very detailed, great with communication and of course my fuzzy little guy loves her! Brisco is a very special needs dog with complex disability and medication routine and Chloe has handed it wonderfully!”
“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!”
“Alina was so great! At the last minute my husband and I realized that we wouldn’t have cell service while we were camping when Alina would be taking care of our cats. Since this was the first time Alina was sitting for us AND it was in our new home where we weren’t completely sure how easy it would be for a new person to navigate it (or how the cats would do with us gone for the first time), we were worried about not being available for Alina to contact and update us. We asked if she could communicate with my mom instead since we have a satellite communicator with my mom and she could relay messages to us. Despite all those complications (including our cat Romeo needing oral medication twice a day), everything went really well. Alina handled the last minute changes easily, communicated thoroughly with my mom, helped us feel at ease and when we came home our cats seemed relaxed and happy. We’re grateful for Alina’s care!”
“Carmen was a great petsitter for my cat while I was gone for the weekend! She sent lots of pictures and was really easy to communicate with and quick to respond to texts. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Tayla was amazing! She left detailed notes after each visit with tons of pictures. She was flexible, communicative, and quick to respond to any questions/concerns. My cat can be timid around strangers at times but went up to Tayla immediately. I’d be happy to book her again :)”
“If Alison is available and you get on her schedule… consider your pet blessed! She’s a gem! Good at her job in every way you would want- reliable, kind, invested, consistent, honest and hard working. Thank you, Alison!!🙏🏻”
“Lucinda is the only person that my dogs haven't barked at or been fearful of. I've had them for 10 years, and they even bark at me when I come home. They were totally calm when she came to feed them. It really helped my travel anxiety.”
“Stephanie and Alex were an absolute pleasure to work with. They’re the definition of professional and took incredible care of our two kitties while we were away. We had total peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands and would absolutely book with them again.”
About: I’ve had a love for animals my whole life, I’ve had cats and dogs since I was born and currently have 5 pets at home! (2 dogs 3 cats) I have been house sitting my pets for a few years while my parents go out of town, and have also helped a few family friends with their pets. I have dealt with untrained dogs, high maintenance dogs, seniors, puppies, and urinary issues. I’m currently working part-time from 5-9pm. Before then, I will have all day to tend to your pets and let them out for some exercise and potty breaks. When I do run errands, I am never gone for more than 3 hours at a time. For dog walking, I am able to walk however far your dog needs to ensure they get the right amount of exercise. For sitting, I will make sure your pet gets let out for potty breaks and the proper amount of care during the day, whether it is a walk or a small training exercise. For drop in visits, I will tend to whatever your pet needs during that visit.
About: I’m a recently retired (lol) ER Vet assistant , I have a lot of experience handling dogs of all sizes! Whether that be providing medical care or tons love! I have a dog and cat of my own and grew up with pets as well! I’m available Friday/Saturday and can drop in to play with your pet anytime or take them on a nice walk! I would prefer to do walks prior to the sun going down but can always drop in late at night for those who work graveyard shifts! Trust is such a big part of meeting a pet for the first time! I would ensure that I take the time to make your pet feel comfortable and not threatened by letting them warm up to me prior to any interaction. I would also be respectful to the boundaries set by you for your home/pet!
“Liz took such great care of my dog Asher, and he clearly loved her from the photos! She is competent with big dogs (great for my 90 pound guy), so friendly, and professional. Wonderful to work with, and we will have her back as soon as possible!”
About: I have babysat throughout my life and have done various house sittings. I love providing animals with ample attention and cuddles! I current have an older English Bulldog, so I am accustomed to dogs with special needs. I can provide pet care services during the week anytime between 7am-9pm. I am currently off from school for the summer, so my schedule has limited conflicts. I have one English bulldog. I provide care such as cleaning his wrinkles, feeding medication, feeding him, letting him out to go to the restroom, walking, and providing a surplus of love and attention to him!!
“Louise has been absolutely exceptional with Amani. She is caring, reliable, patient, and truly goes above and beyond.

Alison and Tom have been great pet sitters for my two cats. They are very friendly and easy to get ahold of. One of my cats was recently hospitalized, needed medications, and was going through a diet transition. Alison and Tom we’re very flexible and worked with me to make sure that my car got the care he needed. I would absolutely recommend Alison and Tom to all of my friends.
Mary Anne is an INCREDIBLE petsitter! Super reliable, friendly, and 100% trustworthy; exactly the things you want in a petsitter. She was always very prompt with communications and helped us enjoy our vacation, knowing our two cats were well taken care of. I can and will highly recommend hiring Mary Anne for any of your pet sitting needs.
This was the best possible first experience with Rover! Elizabeth and her kiddos were amazing. They loved on my fur babies, sent photos and updates. My pets were in absolute heaven the entire time. I came home to happy animals and my home exactly as it was. Which is a blessing! I absolutely would hire her every time!
Candice does a wonderful job caring for my cats. I always know my boys are in good hands with her and can rest easy that she will care for them like her own. Even after a long 2 week trip I came home to a clean home and happy cats. Thank you Candice for your attention to detail and kindness!
Louise has been absolutely exceptional with Amani. She is caring, reliable, patient, and truly goes above and beyond. Amani is always happy, playful, and comfortable around her, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I really appreciate the attention, care, and energy she puts into every visit. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats Amani like her own. I highly recommend Louise to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and amazing to care for their pet.
This is my second time using Adriana for drop-in visits for my two kittens, and once again everything went smoothly! Adriana is super reliable and communicative, and my cats warmed up to her very quickly. I could tell they were happy and well cared for, and I’m so glad to have found someone that I can trust in my home and with my babies!
Rylee was great with our anxious cat, they were best friends by day 3. She ensured he got his required medications on time, and was great about communicating with us so we felt like we knew he was being well taken care of. Will definitely hire again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in West Haven on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,461 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Haven. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
