“Emma was great with the dogs, despite one of our dog's tendency to continually bark at new people. She communicated well with us while we were away! It was much easier to relax knowing they were well taken care of!”

About: I have grown up my whole life around dogs and have a dog of my own now. I have experience with dogs of all different ages and sizes and look forward to meeting your pup! I have a very flexible/changing schedule and am willing to work with whatever you and your pet need! I do some videography work, so the schedule isn’t the same everyday, but I can be very flexible. I will be sure to follow whatever instructions are best for your pup. Coming to your home for drop in visits or taking them out of the house for walks! I am comfortable crating your dog if that’s what you prefer!
About: 🐾 New to Rover, Not to Pet Care! Hi, I’m Shelby! 👋 Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 12+ years. From playful puppies to senior pets and those with special needs, I provide patient, reliable care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. ❤️ As a Direct Support Professional, caring for others is what I do every day. You can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and treat your pets like family. ✨ What you can expect: 🐶 12+ years of pet care experience 💊 Medication administration 🐾 Experience with puppies, seniors & special needs 📸 Frequent photo updates 🚶 Walks, playtime & enrichment 💙 Lots of love, cuddles, and personalized care I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel overwhelming. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! 🐕🐈 I work full time swings typically 3p-10/12p it varies during the week. When I’m not working I’m a home body so your pets will have company with them most of the morning. I do know my schedule usually a month in advance so I am able to let you know before you officially book and you can decide if it works for you. I prefer to stay in their home which allows them to stay comfortable and in their own environment, new places can cause fur babies unnecessary stress and no one wants that. I prefer to keep their routine as normal as possible as well so if they get fed at 5 am I set an alarm to ensure they get fed at their normal time as well.
“Brittany was detail-oriented, communicative, and followed my care instructions carefully. She sent updates with photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated her care for my pets. Will book her again!”

About: I am a mother of 3. My kids grew up with mommy doing Rover! They are trained to not mess with animals. They love playing fetch with the dog's and cuddling! We have a fully fenced back yard and all our furniture is pet friendly! We want your pets to feel at home here. We allow dogs to sleep in our bed with us and on our couches. My kids are in daycare during the week but I work from home! So during the days it's just me with the dogs. They are typically never left alone. I send tons of pictures to all the dogs owners so you will always be updated! We like being your pets family while your away! So I work from home! I wake up at 6am and feed the dogs and let them out. Since I am home I let the dogs outside quite often! I usually feed the dogs around 5 then go pick up my kids from daycare. Then the whole family is home for family and doggy time! We have a fenced in back yard and zero doggy doors. We have a very safe home. We try to teach our kids not to feed the dogs any human food so we don't ruin the diet you have your dog on!
About: I’m a student at Utah Valley University studying forensic science. I have always had a love for animals. When I was younger I wanted to be a veterinarian, but when I realized part of the job would be to put animals to sleep, I quickly changed my mind about what career I wanted to pursue. One of my goals in life is to be on a part time animal rescue team, and round up animals that have been abused or neglected and give them the love and care that they need. I have been caring for pets in people’s homes for 7 years now. I have references upon request. My clients say I’m reliable and sweet to their animals. And they always ask me back.
About: Hi, my name is Cindy and I have always been an animal lover and have had animals in my life. I have two small dogs one is a poodle who is seven years old and loved his ball, he ,is good with children and other dogs his name is cuckoo, and my other dog is a Shih Tzu named Unchie he is 11 years old he is good with children and other dogs as well. Of course they always bark at first.. I have bread and raised Shih Tzu's, )36) total. I worked on my grandparents farm when I was younger. I am a retired Montessori teacher, therefore I am very passionate about nature, children, and animals in general. I am single and have a perfect home, environment, and time-for your loved furry one😊 I am retired and am able to spend lots of quality time with your pet or pets. Also, I have a nearby park that I walk to often. I have a fenced in yard and two lovable small dogs of my own that get along great with other dogs. And for extra activity, I have a park that is next to me with a large grass area.

About: You probably see it a lot on this app but ever since I was little I've had a huge love of animals. Size, age I've seen and taken care of it all. And no matter of waste scares me. All can be clean up. I just want to put my love of long walks to good use. I've even gotten my basset hound to love a hike. Currently in between jobs so fully available during the day and weekends. You just let me know the best time for your pups/other animals. I have experience with house sitting and have been taking care of at least one pet for over 20 years. I always want to make sure that the care provided is the best for each individual animal. Every animal is different but that's what makes them special.
“This was my first time using Rover and Kimberly made it very easy and a lot less nerve racking! She was very good to communicate any concerns and just overall how the visits went! Always on time and was very kind to my dog! Will definitely be using her again in the near future!! Thank you again!!”

About: I’ve worked with countless animals over the years that I’ve been alive. Between growing up surrounded by pets and dealing with exotic woodland creatures and saving injured ones, animals have simply always been who i am! I’ve had puppies, kittens, and even saved some turtles in my life! Animals for life :) I work part time as it stands, so I am away from home from 2 pm-7pm every weekday. On weekends, I am free to be with your pet as often as possible. When it comes to overnight stays in another home, I try to keep them limited because of my schedule and preferences. But overall, I’m more than happy to spend mornings and evenings with your babies! I’m happy to follow any and all pet instructions given to me! If dog parks are part of the routine, I have a car and am more than able to take them there! Any care they need within your home or mine, consider it covered! One thing to note is that I live with other people, and when it comes to watching pets in another home, I will often bring someone with me for security! Aside from that, anything necessary for your fur baby :)
“Jason was great. Very attentive to Periwinkle and did a good job of keeping us updated and reaching out with any questions/concerns. I would recommend Jason to anyone who is needing someone to looks after their pet.”

“Shayla is the best!!! She is so nice and she takes such good care of our two mini golden doodles. We have her come twice a day. She is there on time, she walks them around the neighborhood to get exercise. She cleans the dogs eyes and put drops in them. She chops up their food for them. She gives them a lot of love and scratches. I love when she sends us pictures. I will always have her as their babysitter.”


About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! Last year, I even completed a service project focused on educating others about the importance of pet enrichment and proper care. I’ll treat your furry friend like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way! I am currently a student at Weber state studying elementary education so I have my student teaching from 8am-11am. I am often available outside of these times. Your pet is safe with me, pets will stay leashed at all times unless we are in a safely locked environment. I also will practice recall often.
About: Dogs, cats, reptiles, small mammals, I’ve taken care of them all. I’ve always loved animals ever since I was a young child. I’ve had personal and professional experience with many breeds of dogs, cats, and other types of animals! I’ve helped train the three puppies that my family and I have, and I’ve medicated dogs & cats when needed. I have experience taking care of my dog Daisy’s newborn puppies for months, as well as taking care of a neighbor’s litter of puppies for a week while the family was away. I am very detail oriented and have lots of compassion which is the perfect combination of qualities to give your pets the best care. Your pets are special and unique. Getting their specific needs met is my top priority! I have plenty of time every day to check on your pets, play with them, walk with them, and chill with them. I have availability on Mondays-Sundays for check-ins and walks. I can check on your pets or take them for a walk basically anytime in the morning, afternoon or evening. I do not walk puppies under 1 year old unless they have all of their vaccines up to date. Please message me with any specific questions! When available for overnight pet sitting/longer stays. I would come to your home to patiently greet your pets. I’d pay special attention to how much your pets are eating and drinking. I’ll follow specific instructions from any client as to what they want me to do to care for their pets. If there’s no specific instructions, no worries! I’ll make sure they get playtime, relaxing time, and walks if that’s what your pets like. I can also give baths depending on the temperament of your animals because I want everyone involved to be safe and comfortable. Each time before I leave a client’s home, I clean up their pet’s potty places and make sure the pets are all set for their owner’s arrival.
About: I’ve taken care of puppies, for myself and for my family. I have cared for neighbors dogs in their own homes as well. I have been relied on to care for others dogs by walking them, feeding them, general training, and play time. I work part time and I am a full time college student. I have mornings free and some afternoons. I will be changing my schedule soon so I will have more availability. I live in a cabin with a Forrest surrounding the house. I always go outside with my dog and enjoy long walks. I would love to walk any pups you have or do in home babysitting.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Haven
This was our first time using Rover and we are very happy with the experience and with Becca. We could see that she genuinely cared for our girls, which eased our fears about leaving them at home and gave us peace of mind. We will definitely use Becca again for future care of our precious fur babies.

Can’t recommend Melia enough to take care of your pets while you’re away. throughout my trip i was given plenty of updates on the wellbeing of my pets which i do consider my children. I was able to rest easy knowing they were in good hands. I look forward to booking Melia again on my next trip. 🩵🐶🐱

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in West Haven choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 , 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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

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 , 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.
