“Jen provided excellent care to my 6 month old puppy and two adult cats. She took care of them like her own and even brought our puppy out for a puppy playdate! We definitely will be using her again in the future.”
“Highly recommend! Briona has been very responsive and accommodating and our anxious senior dog loves her. She was great about sending us updates and photos and we absolutely plan to rebook with her in the future.”
“Taliah spent so much time with my dogs. She made sure they were comfortable while I was away. I have already booked her to watch them again. I got pictures to see how happy they were, a little too happy, they did not seem to miss me. :-)”
“Emily and Sarah were amazing with our dogs while we were away for the week. They not only cared for our pups with love and attention, but also kept the house spotless and treated our home with respect. We especially appreciated the daily photo updates—they gave us such peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“I came home to a happy healthy pup and my house was just the way I left it. Jenna sent pictures and updates and we were able to communicate with ease. She has the most wonderful personality. My dog is fun but she is also an attention seeker. Jenna handles her with grace.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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: I have taken care of my two cats on a daily basis that includes feeding them, cleaning the litter box, playing, and quality time. I’ve also taken care of anxious pets who need a little more attention and care. I can tailor my sitting experience to each pets specific needs! I am free during the summer and winter while on break from college. I can schedule my day around visits and can come as early as 7:30 am and as late as 9:30 pm I am very respectful when I come over to your house. If there are clear instructions where the leash and food are then I will do as instructed. I also will send pics of your pet(s) during my visits and leave everything the way it is. I do not offer pets to stay at my home.
“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 grew up with dogs since I was 8. I have cared for my own pets since 18. My neighbors and friends trust me to care for their fur babies while they are away from home. I have experience with puppies, adult and senior dogs as well as cats. I can walk, play, feed, administer medication or just hang out with your pets as needed. I will follow your instructions and respect your home. You can trust me caring for your pets, making them happy and provide updates to you while you are away. I am currently available most of the day and night to provide the care your pup needs. I am available to stay at your place after 7pm if you require house sitting and will leave in the morning. I will provide visits and walks during the day. I will follow your instructions to provide the care and attention your pup needs in your home, during our walk or play time. I will provide updates as needed. My mission is to make your pup and you happy.
“Kat was an absolutely awesome dog sitter. My husband and I were looking for someone to stay in our home last minute and care for our dogs and Kat was immediately responsive and proactive. She was timely, followed instructions, provided updates throughout the day and the dogs were very well cared for. I would highly recommend Kat as a dog walker or dog sitter. We hope to work with her again!”
“Adam did great house sitting for me and hanging out with Sammy while I was away. Sammy seemed to be happy I was home, but not stressed out which is always the goal with getting a sitter :) Adam even pulled a couple packages in the house for me that were delivered while I was away. If I need another sitter, I will definitely reach out to Adam!”
“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.”
“Josh is a great person first off. Secondly he is a great dog person and our boy Max had a great dogcation. We are very happy we met Josh and that he is punctual, accommodating and a pleasure to do business with.”
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.
“I didn't have to worry about my fur babies while I was away on a 10-day trip thanks to the care of Sabrina and Daniel! They provided daily updates with lots of photos and it was clear that the dogs were well taken care of and everyone was having a great time. We had a couple of mishaps during our trip (home internet went out and an 18-hour delay on the return flight) and Sabrina and Daniel were flexible, communicated clearly, and took it in stride. We came home to a clean house and happy pups! I'm so glad to have found them and will definitely use them 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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cromwell on Rover is $52.17 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,653 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
