“Jessica is GREAT!!! My cats are a little spicy when it comes to strangers. She was so patient and kind. One of them ended up on her lap giving her cuddles within just a few days! She was also very attentive when one of them threw up, she contacted me immediately. She also sent sooo many picture updates and it made me feel at ease knowing my furr babies had an expert sitter watching out for them. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing they were safe and sound.”
“Kimberly is so great...I am so picky about who takes care of my two golden doodles. It took me a long time to find Kimberly, she is one of a kind! She is loving and dependable which is so important to me.”
“Perfect sitter. Very patient and understanding. We had a location that was hard to access abd she was amazing. Always asked questions and kept is in the loop during our family emergency. It gives us peace of mind while we are away”
“Booked again, and as always, Miko was well taken care of. I appreciate the updates and pictures while I’m away, great pictures btw, brings peace of mind. Thank you for going above and beyond and taking time to supervise Miko outside, which is his favorite. He loves going outside several times a day, and it meant a lot that they were so patient and attentive with him. Thank you again for always following instructions carefully and taking such thoughtful care of Miko. Very grateful!”
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!
“Kerry was amazing. He took really good care of my girls. He communicated everyday and sent pictures. I felt like they were in really good hands. I highly recommend Kerry. I will be rebooking in the future.”
About: I have a big spacious fenced in yard. My home is calm and welcoming which will help your dogs feel right at home! I have cared for dogs of families and friend. I’m available for boarding Friday through Monday all day which gives me more than enough time to take your puppies on walks and give them the care and attention they need. I have a fenced in yard and a sweet little 2 year old that is so gentle and will give your furry babies all the snuggles.
“I have FOUR cats, two with special needs. Charlee ensured their safety and took extra special care with each of my fur babies while I was away. She is worth every penny!!! I plan to use her services moving forward and feel relieved I’ve found a wonderful cat sitter.”
“Very happy and services Kaleb provided. I really appreciate getting daily updates so I wouldn’t stress and would definitely select Kaleb for daily check ins for my energetic schnauzer.”
About: Hi there! I’m Alexis — a lifelong animal lover, full-time college student at Weber State University studying Criminal Justice, and proud mom to a sweet baby boy (born May 2025). I share my home with two healthy cats and two big, lovable dogs — a Doberman and a Leonberger — so I’m very comfortable caring for pets of all sizes and personalities! Animals have always trusted me, and I take pride in earning that trust. My Doberman once went through a major surgery after swallowing a corn cob, and I personally nursed her back to health — giving medication, managing her diet, and keeping her comfortable for weeks. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of proactive care. I love spending my days walking, training, or playing fetch with my dogs. I’m also experienced with basic training, reading body language, and keeping pets calm in new environments. Whether your dog needs a walk, cuddle time, or structured play, I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for — just like my own. I’m a full time college student at Weber state studying criminal justice. I have no employment right now just picking up side gigs here and there. I’m really focusing on my college career and being a new mom and living life as best I can in my 20s. My home is pet-friendly, clean, and safe. I have a separate room for my cats if needed, and I crate dogs when unsupervised to prevent injuries or accidents (and to protect your pup — vet bills are no joke!). I feed on a consistent schedule, ensure pets always have fresh water, and make sure collars, tags, and microchips are up to date. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities — I treat every animal as if they’re part of my family. ❤️
About: I have had dogs and taken care of them all my life. I have experience with all ages and sizes, I can also give love and care to your senior older dogs, including medicine and shots as needed. Have a completely fenced in yard, plenty of treats and will take care of them like they are family, because to me they are!! Will walk them if you would like and have plenty of doggie toys to keep them happy. Fresh water is always available for them anytime they want a drink. Can also bathe and brush and clip nails if they need a little doggie spa time. I have open availability and would love to help take care of your fur babies while you vacation and you will never have to worry about their care!!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all breeds since I was about 10. I have done everything from walking, feeding, playing, and giving medications by mouth. I am a stay at home mom with my first baby! I am pretty open and available to most times through out the week! I will be sure to keep my calendar updated with my availability. I have a huge fenced in yard, the fence is 5 ft tall. I have two dogs that are very friendly (Tav and Trooper) they love to play, and a cat (Jett) who loves to relax. I am able to keep your little friend company with no worries at all.
“Super last minute back out from my neighbor and Laura was awesome! My girl looked so happy in all of the pics, got walked and taken to the park. Got back to me fast and was super communicative about everything. Definitely plan on having her come check in on my girl for the next work trip away”
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Haven
Amazing and responsive sitter, truly above and beyond. My dog had an emergency (stressed induced diarrhea) and Emma was able to bring him to the vet and take care of him while I was gone, she cleaned up after him and kept me updated the whole time. I’ve never had such a compassionate and quick to respond sitter before, you are truly getting an absolute saint if you book her! Thank you so much Emma
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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a West Haven stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in West Haven with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
