“She did an amazing job. Not only was she amazing at befriending and caring for my very shy rescue kitties, she assisted me by locating and securing my escaped parrot who was hiding in the basement, but too scared to be returned to her cage. She securedcthe basement and put out food and water for her, and stayed beyond her allotted time to make sure my parrot would be safe from the kitties and have food and water. I am sooo grateful she did such a great job, as I was out of the state attending a funeral service for a family member and was already dealing a tough situation. Having anything happen to my sweet Dexter would have destroyed me. She saved the day and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
“Jessica did a fantastic job taking care of both our kitties! We have very sweet but hesitant cats, and she won them both over very quickly. Followed instructions perfectly and helped with an unexpected hairball cleanup, plus gave them both a healthy amount of snuggle time. We will book her next time we leave town!”
“Jayd and Ecko watched my two senior kitties while I was on vacation, and made me feel safe leaving them because they were well cared for. They were responsive to messages, and made sure to send me plenty of pictures. I would book with them again”
“Matthew did a good job with my cattle dog and Aussie. They can be a bit much for some people but he worked with them well. I hired him for 3 visits a day for 4 days. He kept in good communication.”
“She was prompt and very gentle with Fisher. She fed and even cleaned out his litter box. I'm definitely going to go to Emma to look after Fisher whenever I have to stay late for work”
“Claudia has been the best cat sitter and is our go-to! She sends us so many pictures and plays with the kitties each visit. Our house is always nice to come home to, she’s the best!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have been dog sitting for the past four years for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether your dog needs a walk, a potty break, feeding, playtime, or just some extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I’ll always follow your pet’s routine. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to fit visits and walks throughout the day. Whether your pet needs an early morning potty break, a midday walk, or an evening check-in, I’m happy to work with your routine. I know how important consistency is, and I’ll do my best to be there when your pet needs me. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your care instructions, keep doors and gates secure, make sure fresh water is available, and give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I currently have a very energetic puppy, so I’m used to keeping up with active pets and recognizing when they need playtime, exercise, or just a little extra love. I’ll also send updates and photos after every visit so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve always had a love for dogs and have experience caring for dogs of all different personalities, sizes, and needs. I’m a proud dog mom to two Huskies, so I’m very comfortable with energetic dogs and understand how important it is to give them plenty of attention, exercise, and love. 🐾❤️ I do work full time but I am free anytime after 2:30pm on weekdays! On the weekends, however, I am free all day long (: Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they are in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I have experience in administering medications as my dog Kino is on two meds.
About: I have watched the pets of neighbors/friends/family many a time, when I was younger I volunteered at the shelters, and as a tradesman I encountered animals when you wouldn't think. Now I'm going a different route in life I'm just trying to live in a more relaxed manner, just trying to make some money and make a few furry friends along the way. I do gig/freelance work to accommodate family needs. But I am pretty free and open most days. So book me and let's get to walkin! A 1/8 acre fenced back yard with shaded patio and two water bowls, and a doggy door everything a dog needs for a day.

About: I have always had pets in my life. I had made sure they were properly fed in the right amount at the right times and always had a fresh bowl of water. They never go without love as well as making sure they have their space to go and do their thing. Pets will always be taken care of with me and made sure they go home happy and healthy. :) I am currently unemployed. This gives me the chance to give your furr babies even more of my full attention, care, and cuddles to your animals. If taken care of at my house, I treat them the same as if they were at your house. I make sure they are comfortable.
About: I have had animals all my life ranging from dogs and cats to lizards, bunnies, and snakes. I have also worked in the petcare industry professionally as well for 7 years doing grooming, training, and vet tech work.

I live on a 1/3 acre property with a large back yard as well as private space in my house for pets that prefer to be alone. I can provide home visits/walks, or I can do at home boarding. I have a large backyard that is fully privacy fenced, as well as a private space in my house that we use just for animals
“We had a great experience with Kerry. One of our cats was having medical issues that complicated our ability to plan the visits but Kerry was very flexible in working with us. He communicated very quickly. He was willing to do a meet and greet which went great and eased my worries. Overall would recommend!”
“Thanks Nikki! I felt super comfortable leaving my kitty Bear in Nikki’s care, as well as my house key. She played with her and gave her pets in addition to the basics like making sure her food bowl was full. Nikki is also so nice!!! Thank you!!”
“Kristen was super flexible with my dog’s needs (due to the rapidly spreading dog cough) and was highly communicative and helpful in the process of changing plans. She and her kids provided Lola with lots of love and attention!”

Emma was awesome at taking care of my cats while I was on a trip! We arranged a meet up beforehand and I could tell from the get go she loves this job, she irradiates so much love for pets, even my cats were so calm around her💜. She sent me lots of pictures of my babies too! When I got home, it was like I never left. My cats seemed happy and healthy. I would re-book in a heartbeat!
Aubrey was an amazing sitter. I contacted her with a last minute request to take care of my cat for a week, and she responded immediately. This was the longest I'd been away from my clingy kitty, but Aubrey was so nice and accommodating that I rested easy knowing Meatball was in great hands. Loved getting funny updates with cute photos/videos each visit. I'll definitely book with her again!
Candace was amazing! We wish we could give 10 stars! She took such good care of our kitties. We had her drop in each day for a week. She sent pics and very detailed visit reports each day. You can tell that Candace really loves animals and enjoys her work. Definitely recommend!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in West Haven on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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:

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.
