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 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 grew up having cats and dogs, but my love for dogs was unreal when I started college. I ended up getting my own Yorkie and she has been my life ever since. I have experience with new born puppies all the way up to senior age. I can help with training, going for walks, or just simply being that human comfort for your pups while you're away! I know leaving your pets can be stressful but I will treat them like my own family while I have them! I work from home most days, but when I'm not I'm only a short drive away so I can do potty breaks! I'm able to stick to whatever feeding schedule your pup is on whether it is once or twice a day, and I love to give my pups a morning treat, with your approval, yours can have one too! I have a large fenced yard which your dog will be able to explore and potty in. I also have a medium sized doggy door they will have access to. I have small Yorkies who love all dogs and a senior Boxer who loves to play. If needed I have a crate accessible at all times for my dogs and yours if they feel like they want space. I also have large dog beds down in my living room at all times so they will always have a space for themselves to cozy up in! I also have a LARGE basket of toys the dogs are welcome to play with whenever they want! I do groom my own dogs, so if your dog needs a brushing not to worry, I will take care of them!

I work mornings on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-2. I am happy to provide any service that fits into that schedule. I am also able to provide bathroom breaks on my lunches! I am flexible with all sorts of care. I am comfortable caring for animals that are indoor, outdoor, or crated. I am happy to take your dogs for walks as well!

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.
“Claudia was so fantastic and took such good care of our kitties. Our apartment was as clean as we left it too; which is always nice to come home to. We will always rebook with Claudia when possible!”
About: I've taken care of many different kinds of puppies. I have 2 puppies and can do basic training. Really good with senior dogs and keeping them safe and healthy. Can give medications or any kind. I am currently in school so it will be after school times. I can come out earlier depending on the day. I would love to work with you and your schedules as well! At your house I will follow your rules and try to take care of your pets as close to the way you do as possible. In my house animals are well taken care of and loved any time we are home and spoiled while they are out with us on adventures.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Haven
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!

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.
