About: Red Cross Pet First Aid certified! ⛑️ I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and amphibians, so I’m comfortable with animals of all kinds. I’ve also been volunteering at an animal shelter for 1 year, so I know how to read animal behavior and handle the unexpected. I’ll make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I work full time Monday through Friday. On weekdays, I’m available for walks and drop ins before 8am, during lunch between 12-1, and after 5pm. On weekends, my availability is open! I follow your pet's routine to a T and send regular photo and video updates so you're never out of the loop. If I notice any changes in behavior I'll let you know right away. I'll leave your home exactly as I found it, follow any house rules you set, and always make sure gates and doors are secured so no one makes a sneaky escape.
About: I have had my wonderful dog for a little over three years. I will do anything for her and the same goes for your pets. I love all animals and enjoy caring for them. Outside of my day to day job, I volunteer at my local fire department. My experience and training will ensure your pet(s) will stay safe, happy and healthy. I have lived in the New Milford area for about 4 years now. I am available for extended overnight stays and walking/feeding around mid day. I ensure all necessary needs are met. I make sure they are fed on time and have plenty of time to play and get belly rubs.

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.
“Jason was great with our animals. He sent some photos and kept in touch letting us know how everything was going and how sweet our pets were for him. We hope to be able to book him again in the future.”
“Kristin was great. She let me know what was going on with the boys during my vacation. I appreciated the flow of pics through my trip to see how my boys were doing. The communication with Kristin from the beginning of the process to the end was excellent.”
“Jamie was a lifesaver for me! With very little notice due to a family emergency, Jamie committed to house sitting my cat and dog for several days. She is very conscientious, reliable, dedicated and responsible. I will definitely use Jamie again. I highly recommend her,”
About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting all my life. I also fostered a mid-size mixed terrier. I have two cats of my own. I love how all animals have amazing personalities! I can do dog walking, cat check ins with waste clean-up or over nights which ever you may need. I know how to administer meds to both cats and dogs. It is so important to have your furry loved ones pampered while you are away! I am retired so my availability is flexible. I also enjoy sending photos of your four legged loved one while you are away! I have also watched chickens, turtles, guinea pigs, snakes and iguanas. Looking forward to hearing from you! I am retired so I have a flexible schedule! I can go during the day or stay overnight at your home. Whichever you feel most comfortable with would work! When I come to your house, besides walking/feeding, I do waste cleanup as well. Of course, playing is a must! I will definitely send photos and videos so you know how your furry family member is feeling!

I am incredibly reliable and will treat your space as if it’s my own. I work a fully remote job. I am incredibly flexible and able to care to all your pets needs. Welcome all jobs short or long. I like to keep your furry friend on there set schedule and routines. Everyone operates differently like to meet with the family and see what is best for your animal while you’re away.

“We had a great experience with Lora! In the past, we have always boarded our dog, but she has some issues with anxiety and during our meet and greet with Lora, she suggested that house sitting might help ease some of Bella's stress around being left with a sitter. She was totally right! Bella had a wonderful time and was so much more comfortable being in her own space. Lora was respectful of our home, sent regular updates/pictures, and we would love to have her watch Bella again the next time we go out of town.”
“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!”

“Amanda was a grat babysitter. She went above and beyond watching Huey and Pebbles. She made sure they had what they needed and took them for walks and then went above and gave them a bath and got them a toy. She put our mind at ease especially this being our first time using Rover. I am sure going to ask to use her again. I can now know I have someone to help take of my pets loving them the way we do. I value that. We also think her rates are reasonable. We can save to afford to hire her and I know it is worth it. Her rates aren't going to break the banking that to makes a difference when right now there is so much going on at home as well. There are no other words than Thank you to Amanda you are the best.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brookfield
Maria was outstanding! She stayed in our home while we were away to watch our 4 year old Yellow lab--the house was left in great shape, and most importantly, our dog Callie was well taken care of. Long walks, meals, pictures and videos of activities...you name it, Maria covered all of it. Maria was very communicative throughout the whole stay which put our mind at ease while on vacation, and was extremely professional. Don't even give a second thought about booking Maria; she's the best and we would absolutely have her back to take care of our dog.
Amazing experience. I highly recommend Claire as a dog sitter. She watched my dog for 4 days and came three times a day. Always on time, very caring, and gave my dog insulin medication as instructed. Claire cleaned up after my dog, communicated clearly, and sent pictures every day, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands.

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 Brookfield 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 Brookfield 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Brookfield 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!

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.
