“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.”
“We had to rush out of town and they immediately responded and did a great job as usual! Even in an emergency situation they responded with genuine care and immediate response! Wrote down great instructions for new meds for one of our pups and went above and so far beyond to ensure he was cared for. If we can help it, we will always contact them to take care of our beloved pets, they are truly amazing and ridiculously caring people and we adore them!”
“Jackie did an excellent job taking care of our two cats. She was willing to meet before our trip so I could go over some of their specific needs. She was so sweet and I felt assured they would be in good hands. When she dropped in each day, she was sure to send pictures and videos of them while we were gone and texted any questions that came up. Her kids played with them and they were well taken care of. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“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.”
“Amanda was so great! Luna doesn’t like to eat while we are gone and Amanda noticed and gave her some chicken and rice I left in the fridge. Thank you. I would definitely use her again.”
“Nikki was fantastic! We have 4 kitties that can be a bit high maintenance and she took perfect care of them. She even made friends with our one that usually hides! I had some serious anxiety around leaving them for a few days, and Nikki sent me photos and videos the whole time. Next time we travel Nikki is going to be my first call!”
“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!”
“This sitter did fantastic with my pets. I received pictures and they looked happy and well looked after. He had strong communication, detail oriented, and was very compassionate to my pets. 10/10”
“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 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.
“Skylar is so attentive! She was great at communication and sent me photos and checked on Makoto as requested and spent time playing with her and giving her plenty of affection. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”

Pet 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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Haven is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,864 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Haven. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Haven. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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 .
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.
