“Candace has been awesome to work with! She’s been reliable to take my dog on walks during the week while I’m at work, and they’re also pretty long too which helps! My dog seems to be happy with her and we’ve been impressed. Will keep using Candace!”
“Liz has been great with Vega. It took a couple visits for Vega to be comfortable with Liz as she does not like strangers or people in general! Vega is now letting Liz walk, pet, and cuddle with her!”
“Aneice is top notch. She’s extremely friendly and takes very great care of my dog, Blue. She always keeps me updated and takes fantastic photos. Blue definitely enjoys her company”
“Claudia is THE absolute best ever. My golden retriever Loki clearly had the time of his life with her on their long 2 mile walk. She seemed to enjoy her time with him just as much as he did, which melts my heart. That’s what everyone hopes for. She was sooo nice and lots of fun to chat with. And she took TONS of pictures (even had him posing on a bench for her ?). 1000/10 adore her and would trust her with my boy anytime!”
“Aubrey was a fast responder in our last minute need for our dog, Tucker to be walked. She was a great communicator and her willingness to help us out was greatly appreciated.”
“Jayd and Ecko were fantastic to work with and did an amazing job while we were gone on a trip! They went above and beyond, always sent a ton of pictures and spent quality time playing with our dogs beyond what we expected. We came home to pups who were much calmer and more relaxed than usual, which we can absolutely attribute to the time Jayd and Ecko took to make sure they got all the love and care they needed while we were away. We will absolutely book with them again!”
“We were so fortunate to find Emma on Rover. We moved to an apartment in March and needed her to walk and exercise our 2 dogs. Our girls as I call our dogs love her. Emma is also a dog trainer and I appreciate how she does it with patience and kindness. Bailey our Golden Retriever pulled on her lease and it was difficult for me to keep holding on. Emma taught her to walk without pulling and it’s made a big difference. Emma also taught other commands. My girls now walk and play without being stimulated by other dogs. She is the best!!!”
About: I am the youngest of 3 and growing up, we always had dogs in the family. I the youngest usually would have the duties to clean up after the dogs and make sure they have food and water with potty breaks. I am diligent and responsible for any tasks need to be done. I am new to Rover but I am excited to help take care of your pets! I consistently take care of my own dogs; Franky (A Golden Retriever) and Ringo (A Shitzu). I will respect your property as I would like mine to be treated. I have a positive attitude when it comes to taking care of pets and the environment around me.
About: I love walking and caring for dogs. I believe that regular exercise is important for every pet. I have been walking dogs for years. Over the past few months i have been providing daily care for my sisters two dogs. I have a flexible schedule and would love to be your pets favorite walker. I can fit your schedule very easily and will help your pet get appropriate exercise. I have been making sure my sisters dog got the vitamins and supplements he needed over the past few months when she was out of state.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was very young. I have watched my neighbors and various family members pets for them while they were out of town. I have also worked at a dog daycare so I am comfortable with any size dog. I’m a college student so I can come take care of your pets before and after my classes. I also have weekends free to provide the best care! I have a lovable dog and cat at home to keep your pet company. I take them for walks around the neighborhood daily and cuddle on the couch!
About: Animals are my love language! I have been a pet sitter off and on for 25 years, raised and cherished an abandon kitten for 18 years, have lots of experience in loving furbabies and sadly, losing furbabies. I have trained my puppies and dealt with senior care in both cats and dogs. I love to play, cuddle, nurture and won’t hesitate to go beyond the standard of care. If your animal is anxious I will spend time with them to reassure them, if they need space I will do that too. I’ve administered meds to both dogs and cats and have extensive experience with quality of life care, anxiety and animal quirkiness. I’m a mom with lots of time to give your animals. Aside from the daily “mom duties” I am pretty available throughout the day and night (no overnights at client houses). If you have an emergency and need immediate care, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I can usually make things work to help you out. I live in a townhome and have a small fenced yard but lots of room to walk around my neighborhood. I have a senior dog who is very friendly and takes on mama duties, especially with puppies. My cat is friendly and will typically stay away from other animals unless she wants to play. While at my house your animals will have free rein downstairs with me but will also have to option to be kenneled if you prefer at times.
About: I’ve taken care of family pets since I was about 10 years old. I love animals and I will certainly make sure your pet is well cared for and in good hands. I am currently out of school for the summer and looking to make some money to enjoy my time off. I am available for boarding on the weekends and weekdays at any time. I have a fenced yard at my house and zero pets. Which will ensure your pet gets the best love, care, and attention as possible.
“Kiana has been a genuine gift to our family. We started with her about six months ago for our 14-year-old miniature schnauzer/French bulldog mix, Lucy — and over that time she became so much more than a dog walker. As Lucy’s health declined, Kiana adapted without hesitation — adjusting pace, duration, and handling — and never made us feel like we were asking too much. What stands out most is how much she genuinely cared. You can tell the difference between someone who likes dogs and someone who sees your dog. Kiana saw Lucy. She was patient with her on the slow days, gentle when Lucy needed it most, and flexible with our schedules in ways that took real stress off our family during a really hard season. We’re grateful as a family for every walk she gave our girl. If you have a senior dog or one with changing needs, Kiana is exactly who you want in your corner.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe, happy, and loved, so I make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or calm and snuggly. My goal is always to create a comfortable, fun, and loving environment where your pet feels right at home. You can trust that they’ll be in caring hands and treated like part of the family 🐾💛 Between me and my husband, we do both work currently Monday-Friday. I am usually home by 6 PM, and leave around 7:30 am, my husband is usually home no later than 3:30 pm. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In my home, dogs enjoy plenty of space and freedom on our 3.25-acre property, with partially fenced areas for safe outdoor play and exploration. Our three-bedroom home offers a calm, comfortable environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I tailor care to each dog’s routine and preferences. Whether your dog is used to sleeping in a kennel at night or prefers to sleep outside or uncrated, I’m happy to accommodate what they’re most comfortable with. Throughout the day, dogs get lots of supervised playtime, exercise, and attention—there’s never a shortage of love or fun here. I can administer medications as directed and always follow feeding schedules and special instructions. I also provide daily photo and message updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel confident they’re happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I truly love dogs of all kinds and make sure each one gets plenty of time, patience, and personalized care so they feel safe, comfortable, and excited during their stay.
About: Being active with animals is my favorite way of showing them im there for them, they need to move and be active the same way we do! I love finding different ways to keep them mentally and physically stimulated, cats and dogs alike. Whatever I can do to make your life, and your pets life easier is very rewarding for me. Pet care is currently my full time focus! I'm working on starting a small business so in the mean time, to do something that will keep me active, paid, and happy, I want to spend that time with animals. I'm an extremely cautious pet care taker. I am very accustomed to having lengthy mental check lists. Rest assured, your animal will be in careful hands with me. Growing up on farms I've often stepped in to take care of the ranch owners large animals, dogs, cats. I've always had to take care of way more animals then just my own.

Sam was so attentive to our needs and puppies. Both way, nearly 100 pounds each one coming in it 8+ years of age and the other only eight months. She took them for a walk separately and sent us pictures along with letting us know how many times they use the restroom. Sam also reported back with updates on their use on the leash and who was pulling and when they got tired. Both got a mile in and we will definitely be working with her again!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your West Haven. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in West Haven.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Haven. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
