About: Hi! My name is Douglas, Doug for short. Currently a proud papa to a golden lab named Sunny, and a grey longhair cat named Remy. My best friend is a pug/chihuahua mix named Taz. I also had an old man chihuahua named Finn, and I’ll forever miss him. I feel like I speak dog, I know how to tailor my personality to meet the needs of any dog. Cliche to say but I am better with animals than with people. I am responsible, gentle, caring, and a big rule follower. I have pretty open availability throughout the week so I have lots of time to hang out with your dogs! Let me know what you need and I should be able to make it work! I have experience with crate training my dog so I am comfortable playing with your dog in the house or yard, and switching them to their crate if needed.

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!”

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: Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine! Growing up, I was the neighborhood’s go to pet sitter, doing everything from feeding, walking, and bathing dogs to making sure local cats were well cared for and loved. Over the past five years, I’ve expanded my hands-on experience by fostering rescue dogs through a local shelter. I’ve cared for pets across every stage of life from 10 week old puppies requiring extra patience and routine, to gentle seniors and cats who love a calm, comfortable space. Why Choose Me: • Experienced with Dogs & Cats: Comfortable with energy levels, playtime, feeding schedules, and unique personalities for both dogs and cats. • Shelter & Foster Background: Attentive to animal body language, respecting boundaries, and managing distinct temperaments. • Dependable & Detail-Oriented: I strictly stick to your pet’s routine, house rules, and care preferences so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. Whether your fur baby needs an energetic walk, structured feeding, or cuddles during a drop-in visit, I treat every pet in my care like my own! I work part-time at night just a few days a week, which leaves my daytime hours completely open! Whether your pup needs midday walks and playtime, or your cat needs dedicated drop-in visits, feeding, and extra attention, I have near open weekday and weekend daytime availability to give your pets all the care and cuddles they need. While I don’t currently have pets of my own in my home, my condominium is extremely pet-friendly with plenty of open, grassy space for walks, exercise, and playtime! If you’d like your dog to socialize, there are many friendly neighborhood pups to meet and if they prefer solo space, that’s completely fine, too. Most importantly, I am extremely respectful of your specific rules, timelines, and care routines, and I 100% guarantee your instructions will always be followed to the letter!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for both family members and other clients for free, providing dog walking/sitting services for dogs ranging from Yorkies to Great Danes. I’m a huge dog lover who is willing to do anything necessary to keep them entertained and loved, whether that’s walking them for a mile at 2 am or cuddling with them as I sleep. I truly value the connection between humans and dogs, and even those who are more unfriendly are able to warm up to me quite rapidly. I’m very flexible overall and would accommodate any client needs! As a recent college graduate, I’m currently a door dasher and searching for part-time jobs, so I have a lot of flexibility to take care of pets and commit to pet sitting or walking. I’m open to any hours of the day including overnight care if necessary. I love giving pets the freedom to have fun and explore while maintaining discipline and good behavior. I enjoy walking dogs regularly and keeping them healthy through consistent exercise, and I also love cuddling with any pet and making sure they’re never bored or lonely. I’m a firm believer that a pet should never be locked in the same room all day, so I love constant movement and attention. Another priority of mine is pet safety and security, ensuring they aren’t in a stressful environment that reduces their happiness.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Cromwell

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cromwell is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,700 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cromwell. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cromwell. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
