“This situation came up unexpectedly and we needed a sitter ASAP. I have never used this app before and was a bit apprehensive but desperate times calls for desperate measures.🙃 Every sitter wasn't able to do this last minute but Allison checked her schedule and got back to me in quick time. What transpired after was nothing short of a blessing. Allison is one of the most professional, detail oriented, punctual and all around pleasant person I've ever met in this field. Her interaction with Milo can only be described as a true dog whisperer. She was patient, calm, attentive and most of all understanding of my dog and his interactions. Milo is a rescue and gets a bit anxious at times but the way he was with Allison is nothing short of awesome. She truly touched his spirit and also that of me and my wife. If we ever need a sitter, it will be her for our first choice and disappointed if we can't get her. Hers is going to be a very tough act to follow.😊”

“Carlie is FABULOUS! She had quality visits with my two dogs, and provided thorough, insightful honest feedback about how each was doing. One is an elder requiring heart meds. He showed some signs of stress on one of her visits which she described to a T. She had the good judgement to give him a pee and poo break but forego the walk with him. Next visit he was great. Based upon her feedback I felt completely confident that they were in the best possible hands. Carlie is a vet tech, and this added skill/ experience was obvious in how she handled things. She is a woman of kind and gentle temperament and great skill. I could not recommend her more highly. THANK YOU CARLIE!”

About: I've grown up in a home full of animals and have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with Shetland Sheepdogs and have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I've cared for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, so I understand that every stage of life comes with different needs. What matters most to me is getting to know each animal as an individual. Some pets are energetic and playful, while others are shy, independent, or need a little extra patience and reassurance. I take the time to understand their personalities, routines, and boundaries so they feel safe and comfortable. I'm experienced with everyday care, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and maintaining familiar routines. I understand that pets are family, and I treat their care with the same attentiveness and responsibility I'd want for my own. I'm an aspiring full time artist with a flexible work schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I'm typically available daily between 11 AM and 8 PM, with some flexibility depending on my schedule. I'm happy to coordinate in advance to accommodate your pet's routine and make sure they receive consistent, attentive care! My preference is to care for pets in their own home, where they're most familiar and comfortable with their surroundings and routines. I'm happy to follow detailed instructions and take the time to learn each pet's individual needs, habits, and preferences. I believe communication is important, so I'll always ask questions if I'm unsure about something rather than make assumptions. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while you're away. I'm also open to caring for pets in my own home when it's a good fit. I have a spacious, private grassy yard that my own dogs enjoy throughout the day. Please note that the yard is not fenced, so outdoor time would always be supervised and handled according to your pet's needs and safety requirements.

She is so loving to our cats and was even able to help us out with an extra unplanned visit when our flight home was cancelled this weekend.

“Annmarie took care of our two cats while we were away for the holidays. She did a great job taking care of them, kept their litter boxes tidy, and was communicative and helpful throughout our time away. She helped us out by bringing in packages, alerting us to a beeping sound in our boiler room, and keeping our kitties cared for. We will definitely hire her again!”

About: I have always loved animals and enjoy caring for dogs. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping pets safe and comfortable. I will treat your pet with the same care and attention I would give my own.

I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I keep their environment clean and secure, always provide fresh water and food, and give them plenty of attention and supervision. I follow each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions, and I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and love.

The dogs look very well taken care of and it would be an honor to book Mia again in the future. Thank you for helping our family while we were 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.

About: Hi, I'm Alessandra! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I cared for everything from turtles, a bird, hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits to two Golden Retrievers. Today, I have a cat and Golden Retriever of my own, so I know firsthand just how much our pets are a part of the family. As a Rover-user myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust to care for your pet. I also know that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m always happy to tailor my care accordingly. I work remotely and am based in Newtown, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule for house sitting and/or walks and drop-ins throughout the day. I’m reliable, communicative, and mindful of the little things that make a big difference - following your routine and care instructions, respecting your home, keeping your pet comfortable & happy, and sending plenty of updates along the way. My goal is to make sure you feel just as comfortable with me caring for your pet as I’d want to feel with someone caring for mine! I’d love to meet you and your pet(s) — let’s chat and see if it’s a good fit! — Alessandra 🐾 I work remotely from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility for morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins. I also offer house sitting, and since I can work from almost anywhere, I’m able to spend plenty of time with your pets and keep their routine as normal as possible while you’re away. My schedule varies week to week, but I’ll always communicate my availability upfront and make sure I can accommodate your pet’s needs before accepting a booking. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so my priority is making sure both you and your pet feel comfortable. I’ll take the time to understand their personality, routine, and needs, while paying attention to the little things (securing gates & doors, keeping items out of reach, etc.) that keep them safe and happy. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands and getting plenty of love and attention!

About: With over a decade of hands-on experience, including extensive work at a rescue barn and shadowing at a veterinary hospital throughout my life, I bring a wealth of knowledge in caring for a variety of beloved pets. My expertise spans from horses to dogs, cats, and even exotic reptiles and birds. Since the age of 10, I have been walking, feeding, bathing, and caring for neighbors' and friends' pets. These responsibilities have fostered a deep understanding of their unique needs and preferences. When pets are with me, their comfort and needs come first, and I ensure to care for them in the best way possible. I work part-time, allowing me plenty of availability for your pet. With adequate notice, I can come to your house or have your pet come to mine any day of the week. Additionally, I can visit in the morning and at night as needed. At home, I share my life with two dogs and a cat, all of whom enjoy the spacious comfort of our expansive backyard and the security of being crate trained. This personal connection fuels my passion for ensuring every pet under my care receives not just attention, but genuine affection and tailored care to keep them happy, healthy, and content.

About: Almost always available to pet sit and walk, please read more for details! I have personal and professional experience pet sitting for dogs of all sizes as well as cats. Through working various jobs/ internships, I am good at following strict regimens for feeding, going outside, and any other responsibilities asked of me. My love for animals started when I was little - I grew up with one St. Bernard and one Labrador Retriever, learning how to interact with animals as a child. When my older sisters would pet sit, I would come along with them to help and see the animals (as a child, I mostly just wanted to go because they were so cute!). I also love visiting shelters to interact with the pets and give them well-deserved attention. I will not be available Memorial Day weekend. I will be in the Connecticut area for a few months as I just graduated from college. I can almost always work around your pet’s schedule as long as there is notice a few days in advance! I prioritize observing an animal’s behavior with me and with its environment. I also try my best to form a connection with the animal so that taking care of it is less stressful for both parties. I would love to meet the owner and their pet prior to sitting, over call or in person, and enough in advance so that the sitter can have time to decide if another person is a better fit. If I believe caring for a specific pet is out of my expertise, then I will not accept a job as safety is my first priority.

About: I’ve been caring for my own dogs as well as pets of family and friends since a young age, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I treat every pet as if they were my own—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My dog is friendly, well-socialized, and enjoys playing with other pets. With your permission, I’m also happy to provide high-quality photos during each visit, so you can see your pet happy and content. I currently work full-time in a hybrid position, which means I’m home about 3 out of 5 weekdays. I’m also available most weekends and enjoy spending time outdoors. During the warmer months, I often take my dog to the dog park for play and exercise. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship, whether we're relaxing at home or enjoying time outside. I do my best to ensure each pet feels safe, happy, and part of the family during their stay. I have an open, unfenced yard, so for safety, all pets will be leashed while outside. We also have a spacious deck where your pet can relax and enjoy the summer breeze. Inside the home, your pet will be free to roam and play under supervision. My own dog is friendly and happy to provide companionship if your pet enjoys socializing. I have a medium-sized crate available if needed, and plenty of toys to keep your pet engaged. Fresh water will always be available, and your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities.

About: I’ve been walking dogs since I was a kid, and have cared for several senior dogs while their families were away in recent years. I’ve also house-sat for kitty families and multi-pet homes. Whether your pet has special requests or just needs some company, I’m excited to meet them! I’m a Park Ranger who works seasonally and I am currently in the off-season until March. Thus, I have a very open, flexible schedule for all your pet care needs. My approach is very thoughtful and considerate of your space and what you prefer your pet be allowed to do. Before entering anyone’s home, I like to check in with the home owner to ensure I’m aware of all rules and preferences so I can provide the excellent service you’re looking for while respecting your boundaries as well.

I’m a new puppy mom and this was my first time using Rover. I can’t say enough nice things about Rachel. She eased my mind going back to work. And took excellent care of my little puppy. She sent me pictures and a report on her bathroom breaks and crate training. I would highly recommend Rachel and look forward to hiring her again!

Isabelle is a sweet and lovely person with a real gentleness toward animals. My cat bonded with her quickly. I appreciated Isabelle’s reliability and detailed check-in messages and photos. This was my first time having a pet sitter (other than family) and I felt reassured my kitty was being so well cared for. If I could give Isabelle a 10 rating, I would!

Diana was terrific. She was warm and friendly with me, and incredibly loving and attentive with Owen. They spent time playing both inside and outside, and when I returned home, Owen was happily resting beside her, which says a lot about how comfortable he felt in her care. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and look forward to the next time Owen and Diana get together. Thank you, Diana!

Autumn is an amazing cat sitter. She is reliable, caring, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our cat was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for when we got home. She kept us updated, paid attention to the little details, and treated our pet like her own. We would absolutely recommend Autumn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.

Punctual, communicative, respectful, and knowledgeable! My cats have a particular dynamic and my older cat has some behavioral idiosyncrasies—all of which Lily took with great stride and understanding. She asked all the right questions and was very thorough in her visits (cleaning, playing, separating my cats for feeding, and more!). My finicky cats opened up to her quickly and my shy one even rolled around in her belly for her! This is the first time I needed a pet sitter and I’m glad my cats and I got to experience it through Lily!

 Tori did a fantastic job pet sitting for us while we were away last week. Our kitties were happy and well cared for, and we came home to a house that was spotless—which I REALLY appreciated, especially since I’m very particular about litter being tracked around!! 😜 She was reliable, attentive, and clearly took great care of both our pets and our home. We felt totally at ease while we were away and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Bethel

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bethel is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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 November 2026, there are 3,327 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bethel. 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 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 Bethel. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
