“Always very communicative and on time. Spends great quality time with my little ones. Responds to bookings very fast and can even do next-day drop-ins in a pinch! I highly recommend Elizabeth!”


“Candace is always incredible. We had some behavioral issues with our dogs and she handled the situation like a champ and did the best she could to problem solve while we were out of town. We love Candace and her ability to handle our dogs with the up most care and consideration!”

“Our first experience with Rover and it could not have gone any better! Aubrey was the perfect fit for us as our anxiety was a bit high with leaving our cat alone for an extended period of time. We were so comfortable with our experience with Aubrey that we are already planning another trip. THANK YOU!!”

“Kristen was super flexible with my dog’s needs (due to the rapidly spreading dog cough) and was highly communicative and helpful in the process of changing plans. She and her kids provided Lola with lots of love and attention!”

“This is our second time having Becca care for our dogs. As expected, the boys loved her and were well taken care of. Thank you Becca, for the peace of mind while we are away. Highly recommend!”


About: Dog owner all my life. We have 3 dogs that are all 6 years or younger. As we are empty nesters, these are our babies. We travel at least twice a year and I do this, so pet owners have the peace of mind my husband and I also need, when traveling. If you have multiple pets, and you do not want to separate them, I will be happy to visit multiple times daily and spend ample time with them at your home (where they will likely feel more comfortable). I listed taking 2 dogs at a time but they have to be from the same owner, that's about as much as I can handle along with my own. I am a stay at home dog and cat mom. I spend most weekdays spending time with, or taking care of my Dad, who is an amputee Veteran. I have a reliable mid-size vehicle and get out of my house everyday, so my schedule is open. We have a doggie door out of our kitchen that goes straight to our fenced in backyard. The yard is quite large and there's plenty of room for our 3 dogs and visitors to run around, be a dog, and play. Our dogs pretty much rule our house, but we keep it clean, there's upkeep, order, and no small items that any dog can pick up and destroy (after many lessons learned) there is also a wrought iron gate keeping the upstairs and downstairs completely separate, which has mostly been used for our granddaughters as of late. The downstairs is finished and like a separate apartment so if you'd feel better having your dogs separated from mine, I can accommodate.
“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.”

“Jay and Ecko were awesome. Our overly energetic Doberman received lots of outside exercise/fetch time. They sent us many daily updates and pictures. We will definitely use them again in the future. We are extremely happy with their help.”

“It's always such a joy to work with Taysha. She's been cat sitting for both my disabled cats for about 2 years and has been awesome! My go-to sitter and highly recommend to anyone in town looking for a caring, thorough caretaker.”

“Emma is so extremely helpful, and very thorough with taking care of our fur babies! 10/10 would recommend! Thank you Emma for being extra thoughtful and going above and beyond with your care!”

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.

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.

I treat every pet like they’re my own, making their health, happiness, and well-being my top priorities while giving owners peace of mind.

I communicate regularly with updates and photos, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I am an Army Veteran who learned the power of a bond between animals and humans after being discharged from the military and needing a companion of my own. I am currently a dog trainer as well as pursuing a bachelor's degree in animal behavior and health! I am a dog trainer that does board and train sessions as well as private in home lessons, while also pursuing my degree in animal behavior and health. I do train dogs full time, but please let me know what works with your schedule and I will do my best to accommodate! I have a big fenced yard and two australian shepherds that are very friendly. I can easily crate animals if needed or separate them by rooms if your dog does not like other dogs.
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 awesome! Very communicative and made me feel at ease even though this was my first time using Rover and first time leaving the puppy for more than a couple hours.”

About: I’ve had a dog since I was six years old. I’ve always loved dogs. I treat them like I would treat a child. I try and make sure they have everything they need to be successful. I have 2 dogs of my own and I love them to pieces I work for instacart so I can plan my schedule to work for you and your pups! I typically do some side gigs after work but can move things around to ensure the pups are getting the most love and attention possible! I have a big field right behind my apartment where the pups can go potty. My apartment is puppy proof and is safe for all dogs.

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!

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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Haven. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
