“This is the first time using rover. Elizabeth quickly put my mind at ease. She is amazing. My dogs absolutely loved her. I would definitely use her again. I'm so glad I chose her to take care of my fur babies.”
“They took care of my babies with such care and great pics. They even got good pics of the angry feline we lovingly refer to as “Asscat”. Thank you so much for taking such great care of them. They were very good communicators and quick with responses. Very helpful.”
“Becca is great! Our dogs loved spending the week with her and had no issues adjusting. She put us at ease that our dogs were well taken care of while we were away and kept us updated with pictures during the week. We will definitely be using her services in the future and recommend her to others!”
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. Whether your pet needs an early morning potty break, a midday walk, or an evening check-in, I’m happy to work with your routine. 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.
“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.”
“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!”
“Taysha was amazing with my dogs. She went above and beyond all of my expectations and made sure my dogs were well taken care of and loved while I was away. I highly recommend her.”
About: I grew up with all sorts of animals my whole life and have always taken great care of them. I also worked as a vet tech for 2 years on small and large animals so I am well equipped in animal health knowledge. I am well trusted by family and friends to take care of pets of all shapes and sizes! I currently have school from 8-4 on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays. I work mornings on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-2. I am happy to provide any service that fits into that schedule. I am also able to provide bathroom breaks on my lunches! I am flexible with all sorts of care. I am comfortable caring for animals that are indoor, outdoor, or crated. I am happy to take your dogs for walks as well!
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!
“We have had Amanda watch our dog three times and each time she has done a great job. She has been prompt and provided information and pictures with each of her visits. We have contacted her with late notice and she always makes it work. We are very appreciative of her hard work!”
About: I really like animals, I am very patient and I have experience taking care of pets of my family, friends and now Rover!! , I have a very flexible schedule, I can do anything the pet owner needs for them. And I have a lot available days, if I am not at home because I work part time as a CNA now , my husband will be there and watch them! We have different schedules and and I am pretty much at home studying online!! Your dogs never would be alone 😊 I can work walking your pets, taking care of them in the client's home, buying and leaving things that the pet needs and any other different service you need we could talk about it.
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.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in West Haven on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
