“Kayla took great care of our house and pets while we were away for 12 days! It was clear when we got home that our dog and cat had been treated exceptionally well. Kayla was very responsible and left everything clean and orderly. We plan to hire her again next time we go away!”
About: Hi! I’m Sierra — I graduated with my M.S in elementary education and I am currently focusing on nannying/dog walking. I have over 6 years of pet care experience in Fairfield County. I’ve worked with a variety of families through both a professional pet care company (for 5 years) and on my own. I absolutely love animals and have a dog and five cats of my own, so I really understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I’m responsible, flexible, and always make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s walks, feedings, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ve got you covered! I also have amazing references that I can send over.😊 I’m currently available during the day during the week and anytime on weekends. I am also flexible when needed. I can’t wait to hear from you! When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and exercise routines. I make sure the home stays safe and secure, sticking to the pet’s usual schedule to keep them comfortable. I give plenty of attention and monitor their health, while keeping their space clean and respecting the client’s home. I also send regular updates to owners and quickly communicate any concerns. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care that puts both pets and owners at ease.
“Eliza made herself available on short notice, kept me updated with multiple pictures and videos daily, my two dogs were safe and happy when I returned and the house was spic and span. I highly recommend Eliza!”
“Jason was fantastic with my pups. He was aware of how to interact with them, seemed to enjoy walking them, feed them as directed and walked them as requested. I am very happy and pups seem to be also.”
About: I've grown up with a variety of animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, and farm animals. Although I have little experience with pet sitting, I'm very comfortable with all kinds of dogs and cats. I'm currently working 2 part-time jobs as a barista, however I'm super flexible as my work schedule changes from week to week. Besides that I like to go to the gym and spend time with my chickens as much as I can. Around that I still have plenty of free time to start pet sitting. I love spending time and playing with pets, so a lot of what I would do is keep your pet company and engage with them as much as I can. With dogs I would play fetch outside if possible and with cats I would run them around with whatever toys they have. As well as, making sure the animals have enough food / water and keeping their home as clean as possible.
“Ian was the absolute best! He stayed at our house with our 2 dogs for 5 days. I received regular updates and pictures of them- which was so appreciated and needed being so far away from them. I’d have Ian back in a heartbeat!”
“Kat was amazing and very accommodating to our needs. She asked a lot of questions about the dogs needs before the sit and kept in communication She took care of four dogs, including a small puppy and sent lots of pictures. All of the dogs seemed happy and it worked out great. Kat cleaned up really nice and even washed the linens that she used so I didn’t have to do that when we come back.”
About: I am a special education teacher living in Danbury CT. Growing up I had a variety of pets. Though I currently do not have any pets, I have always loved animals. Recently I have cared for my parents’ dog when they were unable to. I am a highly rated pet caregiver on another app. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet. I am available after 4pm during the week and on weekends. In addition, I am available during school vacations. I am open to walking your dog as well as dog sitting at your home when needed. I look forward to meeting your pet, I would love to care for your pet in your home. I enjoy walking and giving your pet the exercise they need.
“Spencer is the BEST! He has watched my pets before, including staying at my house for overnights while I was away. My dog Max is fairly large (about 90lbs) and extremely timid. It usually takes a few hours for Max to warm up to men, if at all, but Spencer had no problem at all earning Max's trust. Spencer has also watched my 2 cats, one of which (Bella) was very elderly and had complex health needs. Bella required constant care- including that she had chewing fatigue and would only eat her food in a specific way, which Spencer made for her (pureed boiled chicken with chicken broth). Spencer is trustworthy and really has a gift with animals. I highly recommend him!”

About: I’ve always had a huge heart and love for animals of all kinds! I have experience pet sitting for numerous families, caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from smaller breeds to larger, high-energy breeds like German Shepherds and Rottweilers. I also have two huskies of my own, so I’m very familiar with energetic dogs and the attention, exercise, and care they need! I’m a very active person who loves being outdoors, going for walks, and making sure pets get plenty of exercise and attention. My love for animals doesn’t stop at dogs! I also adore cats and have experience caring for them as well. I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and always strive to make them feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own! I currently work full-time but have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m available most evenings after work and have plenty of availability on weekends! I’m happy to work with pet owners to accommodate their schedules and ensure their pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I love being able to incorporate pet sitting into my routine! As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for animals! I have two huskies of my own who are both crate trained, and we have an electric fence at home. I also make an effort to take my dogs on walks almost every day, even if it's just a short walk to get some fresh air and exercise! I’ve also owned both indoor-only and indoor/outdoor cats, so I’m familiar with different routines, including litter box care and cats that are accustomed to going outside. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always do my best to follow their normal routines, whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, crate training, or any other specific needs. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away!
“Leonne was absolutely amazing with our dog, Meelo, for an overnight sit. She was extremely professional, communicative and clearly has a deep love for animals. My dog is large and high energy and she seemed confortable and confident. I came back to a very happy pup and a home exactly as I left it. I would not hesitate to reach out to Leonne again for a future sit!”
About: I was born into a family of pets and have been taking care of my dog and cat for years now. Walking, bathing, playing and loving. I am attending collage in the morning on Mondays, Thudays and Fridays but after 2pm I am usually free. I am usually always free on the weekends. While pet sitting I will walk, play and absolutely adore the furry baby that I have the honor of seeing. Any rules in place I will do absolute best to follow.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bethel
Jennifer took great care of our dogs, Mochi and Hana. She left our place exactly as she found it, which is much appreciated! We got photos multiple times a day and great communication. She listened, made sure the girls were comfortable and stayed on their schedule, and handled everything so we could enjoy our taime away!
Isabelle is responsive, professional, friendly, and my dogs love her!! She responded quickly to my initial inquiry, was accommodating in our pre-meet, asked all the right questions to understand our preferences, and then communicated updates regularly during her visits. She exemplifies professionalism but with a warmth that makes us very comfortable entrusting her with our beloved furr babies. I cannot recommend her enough!!
Jordan has been great with our Hallie! She’s cared for her a couple of times now, and each time we’ve felt completely at ease. She's dependable, communicative, and mindful of Hallie's needs - while also being respectful of our home. It's such a comfort to know that Hallie is in such capable and caring hands!
So was so amazing and patient with our two little rascals. One of our dogs is in the middle.of a neurological evaluation and Sophie was so good with him, so sweet and understanding. She gave us daily updates with lots of pictures and we came home to two very happy and well taken care of little boys as well as a spotless house. Would 100% recommend and book again!!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Bethel walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bethel maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Bethel 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
