“Maria was wonderful...took great care of my cat. It was so nice to be away for a week and have the confidence that all was well at my house and with my cat. Signing up with Rover was super easy, the price is fair and I had excellent service. Extremely happy with Maria and my first Rover experience!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover and dependable caregiver based in Simsbury, Connecticut. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog and cat in my care with the same love, attention, and respect that I would give my own. I work from home, so your pup is never alone. We have a gorgeous golden retriever (Maverick) I'm organized, responsible, and great at communicating. I know how important it is for pet parents to receive updates and have peace of mind while they're away. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I'll make sure your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels and enjoy spending time outdoors, in our fenced-in yard, going for walks, playtime, and exercise. I can also follow specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special routines your pet may need. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Why Choose Me? Reliable and professional Excellent communication and photo updates Flexible scheduling Comfortable following detailed care instructions Patient, attentive, and genuinely love animals I'm at home full time and study part time. I love getting out and about and know all the great trails and spots your dog will love! We have a fenced-in area for your dog, but we'll mostly be out exploring. When we get home, your pup will be snuggled up on the couch, resting after a long day.
“Thank you so much for being patient w our Lily, Heather! We will definitely book again. You went above and beyond with communication and we couldn’t have asked for a better visit!”
“Andrea is great! She communicated throughout the entire process. She kept me informed on how everything was going. She sent pictures showing her interaction with Snuggles. Although, she wasn’t booked to care for the cat, she notified me of his mischievous behavior. I will definitely book with Andrea again. Thank you Andrea!”
“Ifan did an incredible job taking care of my Bernedoodle, who is full of energy and absolutely loves meeting new people. They handled his excitement with total confidence and experience, which immediately put me at ease. He got plenty of playtime in the backyard, lots of social interaction, and even came home tired and happy which is a rare accomplishment for a dog who could play all day. It was clear that Ifan really understands energetic dogs and knows how to keep them engaged in a positive way. My dog adored them, and I could tell he felt comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled, attentive, and genuinely caring sitter.”
About: My first job was pet sitting and dog walking, and I've loved caring for animals ever since! As a Connecticut local, I know many great walking trails and currently walk about 4 miles a day, so your pup will get plenty of exercise and adventure. I'm also a proud cat parent to two cats, one of whom I adopted after volunteering at an animal shelter for three years during college. I'd love to give your pets the same care and attention I give my own! I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, personalized care. I naturally build pet care into my daily routine—I love spending my evenings going for walks and relaxing with my cat, and I always make time for play, exercise, and one-on-one attention. Whether your pet needs an active adventure or a calm companion, I'm happy to adapt to their routine and make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Creating a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment for every pet is my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and social cues so I can approach them in a way that helps them feel safe and at ease. I never rush introductions—instead, I let pets warm up at their own pace and learn what makes them happiest, whether that's playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having calm companionship. In my home, I make safety a priority by ensuring all of my plants are pet-safe and that there are no hazards or unsafe items within reach. I also have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time. As a pet owner myself and a former shelter volunteer, I understand the importance of providing a secure, enriching environment where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved.
“Abigail is great! Very friendly and responsive! Also quite detailed in asking all the right questions. This was our first time partnering with her and our kitties took to her so easily! Thanks you for all the kind support!”
“Kelsey was fantastic! I needed a new dog sitter last minute so we could go to a wedding that night, and she not only accepted the job, but came over in the afternoon for a lengthy meet and greet. My 1 1/2 year old pup is 75 lbs and very strong, and I had no worries that she could handle him even if they ran in to other people and dogs on their walk. Rocky took to her right away, and we were able to relax and have fun at the wedding. Thanks Kelsey!”

“Matt and Mary Beth dropped in on Ipo several times over the course of three days while we had long days out of the house. From the initial meet and greet Ipo loved them and we trusted them to take good care of him. They were so attentive and asked all the right questions. After each visit they sent us an update and plenty of pictures of Ipo basking in their attention. Every night when we got home we could tell that he had been taken great care of. He even ate dinner for them no problem, which is sometimes a struggle. We’re over the moon with how well it went and we will definitely be using Matt & Mary Beth in the future!!”
“Maegan was very attentive to my pups while I was gone and ensured they were happy, fed, and cared for. She kept in touch and made sure I was kept informed throughout. I would definitely hire her again!”

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Bloomfield is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $29 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.

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.
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 Bloomfield 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!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
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.
