“Emily was able to help us last minute to care for Amber after her surgery. She sent us messages and photos and when something was not right she immediately let me know and even helped me get her in the car. We truly appreciate her attention and care for Amber.”
“Jennifer was reliable and came through last minute when another sitter cancelled. Took great care of the house and animals and was responsive while we were gone sharing pictures. Highly recommend.”
“Michelle was great with Lola and sent so many pictures to give us peace of mind! We will definitely book with her again. She stayed in our home and it was left exactly as we left in- she even brought in our packages. Cannot thank her enough!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have experienced every stage of all of their lives. Definitely not new to a majority of things!! I’m currently home after graduating college this past spring and I’m looking to make some extra money and with Rover I can have fun doing it! I understand the love and care that people have for their pets and want to be able to provide that for yours. I know different dogs have different needs and I’m here to care for them!
“Jennifer house sat for us and took great care of our two cats and dog - and home. She was super attentive and responsive. She kept in touch, sending photos and updates during the week. She left the place super clean and tidy and even left flowers on the dining table: a lovely treat upon our return. We would certainly book with her again!”
“Nikki was terrific with my kitties as I was out of town for 8 days. She delivers and additionally left my home in tip-top shape. My cats were very well taken care of and calm upon my return. I could not ask for more.”
“Amy is great! Jasper had a lovely time with her and we got a good update in the morning before she left. I would book with her again and recommend her to anyone, not just those with a senior dog :)”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. Over the years I've shared my home with English Mastiffs, a Miniature Pinscher, a Pit Bull, a rescue mixed breed, a German Shepherd, a Tibetan Terrier, and an Alaskan Malamute. I've also cared for cats, ferrets, and lizards. Living with such a wide variety of animals has taught me that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. I've cared for pets through every stage of life, from raising puppies and kittens to providing compassionate care for senior pets in their final years. I'm experienced with administering medications, staying patient during treatments, and making sure pets feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Having lived with English Mastiffs and an Alaskan Malamute, I'm very comfortable caring for giant breeds and dogs that require a confident, steady handler. I'm also experienced with strong pullers and understand that consistency, positive reinforcement, and patience go a long way in building trust. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve while you're away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks and playtime or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, I'm happy to adapt to their individual needs and routine. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, and I'll treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, happy, and cared for with the same love and attention I'd give my own animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to adapt to your pet's routine, whether they need regular walks, playtime, medication, or simply extra companionship throughout the day. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care that helps your pet feel comfortable and gives you peace of mind while you're away. Every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and respected in their own environment. I carefully follow your instructions and maintain your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and playtime. I believe trust is earned through patience and consistency, so I always let pets become comfortable at their own pace while providing attentive, compassionate care. I also treat every client's home with the same respect and care I would expect in my own.
“Shannon watched our two huskies and stayed in our home while we were away for a weekend. She took excellent care of our home, collected our mail, and took the best care of our Doggos. She sent several picture updates of our dogs which helped immensely. We will definitely use her in the future and highly recommend her to others!”
About: I have had dogs of all sizes in my life-from mastiff to dachshund. From puppy to senior. I have plenty of experience administering medicine, giving baths and caring for pets. I work from home and am available to take care of your pet(s) after 12pm. On the weekends, I am pretty open to take care of your pet whenever you need so long as I am not out of town. I live in a townhouse complex so it would be best if I came to take care of the pet at your home. There is also a fenced in dog park just down the street from my house that I would plan on frequenting so long as you're comfortable with me taking your dog there.
“Christine is a wonderful dog sitter! She stayed 9 days with our 2 high maintenance dogs and took excellent care of them. Christine’s communication both before and during our trip was exactly what we needed to feel comfortable. She sent pictures of our boys daily and sent us updates on their behaviors, eating, sleeping, and general wellbeing. It allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip!”
“Sherry was wonderful. She was very responsible and took the best care of Dolly and Wrigley. She was very good to Wrigley when it started to rain. He gets scared and she sat with him calming him down. Definitely hoping our schedules line up for my next trip.”
“Ariana and her daughter were amazing house/dog sitters for our 12 year old Puggle, Finn. Finn took to them immediately which instantly eased my mind. It was obvious that they were true animal people. Ariana provided excellent communication/updates throughout our weekend away, and the house was left immaculate upon our return. If you want stress-free, trustworthy care for your pets, I would highly recommend Ariana.”
“A last minute family vacation meant a last minute pet sitter for our dogs and cats, and Josh was up for the task! It was such a relief for us to know our pets were so well cared for while we were gone, and we loved the daily pictures from each drop in with Josh! Will definitely be using Josh again in the future!”

3rd time using Ethan. This time for 7days, six nights in my house. Ethan was awesome with both dogs. Huskies can be bratty and difficult. Ethan had absolutely no issues handling him. Both dogs love Ethan. And Ethan did an awesome job taking care of the house. I highly recommend him.
Wow, Tasha is the absolute best! So thoughtful, responsible, and communicative in sitting Murph and our house. She sent us regular updates including the cutest pics and videos, left the house in better shape than when she arrived, and gave Murph all the attention and care an energetic puppy needs. He was sad to see her go at the end of the weekend but you can bet we’ll ask her back for next time.
This was the first time using a pet sitter. My dog had such a good weekend she did not seem all that glad to see me when I got home. The house was just as I left it. I felt comfortable going in having communicated with Jade beforehand and appreciated updates over the time I was gone. Hope to have Jade again in the future

FAQs for House Sitting - Cromwell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cromwell on Rover is $52.17 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,610 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cromwell. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Cromwell 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 Cromwell 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 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!
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.
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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
