“Christine responded quickly to a last minute request, communicated well, and took great care of our cats. She also took photos of both cats on every visit. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Cole was immediately accepted into our family of 3 humans and 2 cats. Even our ‘scaredy’ cat warmed up to him quickly! Cole was nothing but warm, professional, friendly, flexible and compassionate. We knew right away that he was the right sitter for our family. He was always in communication, sent sweet photos of our cats while we were away and really cared for our cats. He put our minds at peace while we were away. It is clear that Cole truly loves animals and is very good with them. We are so grateful for all of his love, care and patience.”
“Laura was awesome as usual. We had a medical emergency at home and Laura took care of our Chester and our home. Laura was super flexible and offered things I didn’t know I needed. Can’t wait until our next booking.”
“Briona did a great job with a drop in visit for our dog! She sent a bunch of pictures and remembered our dog care instructions from her prior visit. We came home to a happy dog :)”
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life! I grew up with a senior dog and cats in their late teens, and then got puppies and kittens that I’ve taken care of for over a decade. I’ve watched pets for friends and family, and while I’m new to professional pet care, I’ll treat yours with the same care I’d treat mine. I can fit pet care into virtually any time of most days. I’m a college student home for the summer, so I’m not very busy! I’m very gentle with my pets, and I like to treat them like a friend rather than another type of entity. I respect their boundaries and comfort, and like to see what would be best for them in any given moment. I’m always respectful of other people’s homes, always respect house rules, and am super careful of others’ property.
“Veronica did a great job taking care of our cat Cheese! We came back to a healthy happy kitty and knowing we had someone we could trust gave us great peace of mind while we were away.”
About: I have always had a strong love for animals and have had many animals in my household growing up including fostering! I had dog and cat sat for family friends and loved ones and always have the best experience, and would love to continue to do that for others in the community! I currently am in full time fieldwork for my school program, but am available for early mornings, evenings, and weekends to walk, dog/cat sit, and spend time with your furry friends! I have a big back yard where I can run and play with any animal! It is not fenced in, but walks and runs are always an option as i am very active and flexible to give your pet the best care, even in your home/neighborhood!
“Kimberly is a great dog sitter! She took great care of my Daisy and was available whenever I needed her. We came across no issues with Kimberly and I would highly recommend her to care for your pups!”
“Miranda did a great job taking care of our cat Simon. He usually doesn’t come out for anyone who comes over, but she was able to befriend him. Not easy! Simon was calm and happy when we got home from a trip that was longer than we had ever been away. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have years of experience with dogs of all ages, including seniors. I’m dependable, gentle, and treat every pet with the same love as my own. Pet care is part of my daily routine, including walks, playtime, and attention to each dog’s needs. I am experienced in safely administering medication when needed. I ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I create a safe, calm, and clean environment in both my home and clients’. I follow all instructions carefully to ensure pets feel secure and well cared for.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, and caring for them is second nature to me. For four years, I managed a doggy daycare, giving me daily experience with everything from playful puppies to quirky adults and sweet seniors. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at home — feeding, walking, giving medications, and keeping everyone on a routine. Big personalities, small breeds, anxious pups, confident ones… I’ve worked with them all, and I genuinely love getting to know what makes each dog unique. I work a full‑time job on weekdays, but you can count on me Friday after 5 PM and throughout the weekend. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, or a quick drop‑in, I’m happy to help. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. In your home, I stick to your dog’s normal routine - feeding, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions you share. I’m careful with doors, gates, and household safety, and I never rush your dog into situations they’re unsure about. My goal is to create a stress‑free, happy environment.
About: I have had dogs for my whole life, and I currently have one of my own, so I have plenty experience caring for everyone's favorite friends, doing every day tasks, such as feeding and walking, but also administering medication and supplements if needed. I am currently attending graduate school with classes in the afternoon, but I am available Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings/early afternoons and the entire weekend. My free-time on Mondays and Fridays is limited, but I will do my best to fulfill all requests. I have extra leashes and doggy bags to be ready for any situations on a walk! I am respectful and clean for any homes I have to stop by!
About: Hi pet parents! I’m a loving and reliable pet sitter with about 6 years of veterinary experience and Pet CPR & First Aid certification. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members! I treat every pet like my own, pay close attention to their individual needs, and will always keep you updated with how they’re doing. Expect plenty of pictures and updates if you would like! I’m primarily available evenings and weekends and am happy to accommodate last minute requests when I can. I’d love to meet you and your pets! Pet care fits naturally into my evenings and weekends. I enjoy spending my free time with animals, whether that’s taking them for walks, keeping them company, or giving them lots of love and attention. I’m able to dedicate this time specifically to caring for your pets and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I always follow each pet’s individual routine and your instructions to keep them comfortable and happy. In your home, I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll make sure your pets have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, meals/medications as needed, and lots of love! I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands.
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.
“I can’t recommend Nicole enough! She takes incredible care of my dog, goes above and beyond, treating her like her own. I get updates and many photos, my pup is happy and clearly loved by her. Nicole will stay over the allotted time to make sure my pup gets well taken care of. It’s such a relief knowing I’ve found someone reliable, trustworthy, and truly caring. She gives my dog treats and takes her on long walks and always makes sure to keep me updated every time she comes. I will be continuing to book with Nicole for any dog sitting needs I have, she is the best dog sitter and a very kind person as well, I am very grateful for her!! 🩷”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life, and I am very comfortable taking care of animals in a variety of sizes and personalities. I have a degree in Animal Science from Iowa State University, and I spent 8 years working with Guiding Eyes for the Blind. I currently work as a Registered Nurse. I would be honored to be your trusted dog sitter. My schedule is very flexible right now, so I am able to cater to your individual needs. I can provide meals, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I have a fenced yard with ample space to run. I also enjoy leashed walks to burn energy and build strong connections with your pup.
“Emilia was wonderful with my dog! She took extra time to get to know him, learn his routine, and make sure we were both comfortable before even taking a dime. I really felt I could trust her with my dog and knew he would be in good hands. She took such good care of him while I was gone and updated me during each visit which was super comforting. Will deff book with her again!”

Brittney was great! This was our first time leaving her with a sitter we didn’t know, snd she put our minds at ease. She was great with the two check-ins we requested — was patient with our baby who can be a bit stubborn. She gave plenty of details about how the drop-in went, sent pics, etc. and our dog seemed to love her and really appreciate the love and care that Brittney provided. Thank you again!
Josh has watched my large crew of a dog, cats and chickens multiple times now and I always feel confident that they are in good hands. My dog loves him, he’s prompt at responding to messages, and is also open to last minute bookings. I’ll definitely continue using Josh in the future and would recommend him to other pet parents.
Aly has been a good caregiver for our dogs, and we cannot recommend her enough! She previously took care of our senior dog, Braxton, and when he passed, we were heartbroken. A few years later, we got our new dog, Blü, who is much larger and we decided to give Aly a call. Aly followed all of our care instructions meticulously and ensured Blü received attention, and plenty of exercise during our time away. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Thank you, Aly, for your wonderful care and support on a last minute notice.

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 Cromwell 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
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.
