“Sydney was fabulous! She was very flexible and my dog really enjoyed her company. I had a medical emergency and she jumped right in to help with my pup which I greatly appreciated.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, and started pet sitting for dogs and cats as a teenager. I’ve done everything from overnight stays to check ins to walks with animals ranging from newborn puppies to senior dogs and cats. I’m currently available 7 days a week and have same day availability if you need me right away. My time is flexible at the moment, just reach out! I am happy to meet your dog or cat where they are at, whether that means playtime and walks, cuddles and lots of pets, or just a watchful eye and some space to make sure they are safe.
“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.”
“Paige was wonderful with our kitten. She is very thorough and punctual. We loved how she kept us updated on all the details and he really enjoyed his play time and company while we were gone.”
“Sophia was absolutely wonderful. She is a fantastic walker and sitter who is punctual, communicative, and puts the dog's well-being first. When my dog was feeling anxious and refusing walks during the visits, Sophia handled it beautifully—she adapted very well, sat down to comfort my dog, and communicated with me. She made sure my dog was well-fed and cared for. Will be booking her again in the future!”
“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!!🙏🏻”
“Adriana did great with our pup and spent time with him while we were away. We greatly appreciate her service and would highly recommend her to any other families out there.”
“Alina did an amazing job with Amani. She was patient, attentive, and spent quality time playing with her, which really helped because Amani is usually very energetic. Amani ended up completely relaxed, calm, and exhausted from all the playtime. It was clear she felt comfortable and cared for. I really appreciated the updates and the level of care provided. I would definitely book with her again.”
“When I return from my trip, my kitties are always happy and healthy! During the trip, great communication and cute photos to let me know how it’s going!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for many years, from put bulls to chihuahuas, I have yet to meet a dog I didn’t love! I have grown up with dogs my whole life and I have learned how to care for and bond with dogs of all kinds. I would love to care for your furry friends! I am a recent college graduate and I am looking for a part time job while I wait for my graduate program to begin in the fall. My schedule is very flexible and I love taking long walks! I am a pet parent myself, so I am always very careful and cautious with my surroundings. I am aware of the many toxic substances to cats and dogs, I have learned their body language, and I am always interested in learning more about the individual pet to better care for them!
“Louise was amazing! My dog loved her and she was always communicating with me and keeping me updated on his status. I would definitely recommend her and would love for her to watch Walter again!”
“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”
About: I want your pet to feel like they're with a friend, so I go out of my way to build their trust and ensure they have a positive experience. Though not currently a pet owner, I've had several pets throughout my life and have volunteered for both the Humane Society and a wildlife hospital, where I gained experience with administering care and medicine to animals. I'm semi-retired, so have the time and flexibility to do things that I love-and one of the things I love most is spending time with animals! I take extra care with pets to "meet them where they are," which means paying attention to their cues and adjusting my approach to ensure they feel safe. My goal is to build their trust and make sure they feel safe and cared for.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Haven
Hayley did great with my dog and cat. My dog is reactive and she took excellent care when walking him. My cat typically doesn’t approach strangers, but warmed up to Hayley instantly during the meet and greet. They were very well taken care of and she was super communicative. I couldn’t have asked for better drop in visits!
Mary Anne cared for our cat for 10 days, and did a great job! She kept in touch, asked questions when needed and reported on her activity and eating at each visit. Unfortunately our cat was very shy, so she didn't get to interact with her, but Mary Anne was respectful of our cat's unease. Great job!
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.
Emma was so fantastic! She took such good care of our kitties while we were away. She took great photos and gave us very detailed updates, it was really helpful. She was also very accommodating with our schedule and was really great about any changes we needed to make. I would recommend her to anyone 1000000/5 stars!
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in West Haven on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,484 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.

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.
