“Ryenne was amazing! It was my first time using a pet sitter and she far exceeded my expectations. My pets received amazing care and loved their time with her, and I appreciated all of the updates and photos I received to put me at ease during my travels. I will definitely be booking with Ryenne again!”
“Halston was fantastic! He followed every single instruction I left for my dog and made sure he stayed on his routine, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. His communication was excellent. He sent regular updates with photos and videos, so I always knew how my pup was doing. Most importantly, it was clear how much he truly cared for my dog. When I came home, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. I will absolutely be booking again. Thank you so much!”
“Wow!! We have been using Rover for 10 years and Megan is our first "perfect" sitter. She is super communicative, sends pictures with excellent little daily write ups that arent too short or too invasively long/frequent, and followed our instructions to a T. My neighbor even remarked that my dog seemed happy and content when she spotted them walking the lake together. I came home to a perfectly clean house - Megan had even washed and remade the guest bed and laid out her clean towels! The house also smelled heavenly with the dinner she had made before I arrived home; she must be a great cook. Even my plants had all thrived and seemed to be very happy and growing. If the plants are happy too, you know that you found a gem! ;) Not once did Megan call or text me with an emergency or needing help with small little idiosyncrasies when staying in a new home. She was incredibly self sufficient, reliable, and respectful of my home - but also great about communicating her needs upfront during our consultation, or asking permission via text while I was away. Truly a perfect sitter. I highly recommend you book with her.”
“I had Annie come stay with my Golden Retriever on very short notice when I was out of town. She did an amazing job, kept in communication, sent photos often, and my pup was very happy. Will be booking her again, often. Thanks Annie”
“Katey was amazing. She was very communicative and attuned to my pets needs and personalities. She was reliable and I came home to happy pets. I would definitely use her again!!”
“Tina was absolutely phenomenal with my energetic 2 yo. She took Saoirse on wonderful walks at Point Defiance and Sehmel Homestead Park, kept her happy and engaged, and made sure Saoirse had the perfect mix of exercise, care, love, attention, and joy. The regulare photos and videos were absolutely delightful to receive (and share :). Tina’s updates, attention to detail, kindness, and genuine love for dogs shine through in everything she does. According to Saoirse, Tina deserves a thousand stars — and I couldn’t agree more. Thank you for taking amazing care of my sweet girl!”
“Nicole is great sitter. She communicates well, is timely, attentive to my cats well-being and demonstrates she cares. She is just what I was looking for in a pet sitter and I would love for her to sit my cats again. Thank you Nicole for making me feel assured my cats were in responsible, safe and loving hands. Angela”
About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals and have always loved caring for them! I've helped friends and neighbors care for their dogs and cats, providing walks, feeding, and playtime. I'm also a proud cat mom myself! I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I currently work full-time, but I love spending my free time caring for animals! I'm available for pet care outside of my regular work hours, including evenings and weekends. I am respectful of your home and genuinely care about your pet receiving the best possible experience. I provide dependable, attentive care while making sure every pet feels comfortable and loved while maintaining their established routines.
“Olivia is a gem. It’s such a gift to find a pet sitter that is very communicative, considerate, thoughtful, and trustworthy. Olivia was proactive with our pets and asked us really good questions to ensure all their needs were met. She was wonderful with her updates and photos. Our pets just loved her! We highly recommend her pet care and we will be booking again!”
“Brooklyn has watched our dog Davy as well as our home twice now. She is very attentive to Davy’s needs. He requires daily medications and special care due to injury and she has been incredible at keeping up with all of that. She always sends us pictures to let us know how he is doing, and she leaves our house in great shape after she leaves. I would highly recommend Brooklyn as sitter!”
About: I’ve been in love with dogs since I got my first golden lab at age 6 and haven’t looked back, I am extremely active, and love taking care, playing with and making sure they get plenty of exercise. Recently my 14 year old black lab passed away, she had many surgeries/health issues towards the end and I’m very experienced with older dogs as well as younger. I respect all client wishes and it’s imperative to me that you know your animal is being taken care of with the same care you’d give them. I am currently working part time, so I am available everyday after 11 am, weekdays and weeknights, and my schedule is extremely flexible. I also walk twice a day as apart of my own routine, so it’s very easy to incorporate pets into my schedule. I have a fairly good sized backyard with 6 feet high fences, a two story home with plenty of space to crate your dog if needed. I also live less than one block away from an elementary school with a massive fenced in field, with plenty of room for your pet to run around in a safe environment.
“Cathy was great with our dog! She gave daily updates with pictures and we came back to a happy dog and a well kept house. Super appreciative of Cathy - very responsible and communicative. Would definitely work with her again!”
“Quessandra did an amazing job with Bella. I reached out to her super late at night and last minute and she came through in a pinch. She also sent lots of pics which eased my mind. I will be using her again and again to keep Bella company.”
“Michael took great care of our boy, Parker, our Golden Retriever. Michael sent multiple updates throughout the day with photos. Parker was happy, we were happy, and Michael was happy. In addition, to caring for Parker, Michael took great care of our home. The house was as we left it, if not better. We highly recommend Micahel to others needing drop-in visits, daily or overnight care for their critters. Jamie & Paul Careaga”
“Highly recommend! Shalindra provided a week of in-home care for our two dogs, a guinea pig and a gecko. She was delightful to work with. The dogs took to her very quickly, and she was affectionately patient with their unique/opposite personalities. I especially appreciated her daily photo and video updates, and how careful she was to ask questions and provide details on anything happening at the house. I felt confident all was well cared-for, and was truly able to enjoy the time away because Shalindra had everything covered at home.”
“Sarah did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs - Archie and Frankie! She sent us updates daily with pictures. The house was clean when we returned and she even watered my outside plants. We will definitely request Sarah to pet sit for us again. Thank you Sarah!”
“We were so lucky to have found Zach on short notice to house sit for our two husky mixes over the weekend. He was friendly, great with our dogs (despite our girl having quite a bit of anxiety with new people) and made us feel comfortable with lots of updates throughout the weekend. He even ran with the dogs daily which was a huge plus! He left our house spotless, and when we came home, our dogs were calm and happy and clearly well looked-after. Thank you, Zach! We will definitely be coming back as a repeat client!”

Christine is the best sitter ever!! Our dog Winnie has some sensitivities, and Christine was nothing but patient, loving, and attentive to her needs. We couldn’t have asked for more trustworthy or caring hands for our four-legged friend. Truly couldn’t recommend her enough! 10/10 stars! ⭐️
Cambria always does the best job with our pets, 2 dogs and 2 cats. The cats adore her (easy to see from the many pictures she sends) and due to our dogs having different levels of mobility, takes the younger one on extra walks. House is so tidy and clean when we return - would never know someone stayed there. And we trust her - she notices info on our pets that I don’t. She is the e best pet sitter we have ever had. Thank you Cambria❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Russell, as always, went above and beyond! He treats our home and our entire pack like his own, and we couldn’t ask for better care while we’re away. Knowing everyone is happy, loved, and in such good hands gives us complete peace of mind. At this point, we may just have to start planning our trips around Russell’s availability!
Our dog is older and medically fragile, so I was a little anxious about leaving for an extended period. But Megan did a great job managing her medication protocols, which can be fairly complicated, and in maintaining contact with the vet and us to keep everyone in the loop. If we need to travel without our dog again, Megan would be my first choice for a pet sitter.
Tina was absolutely phenomenal with my energetic 2 yo. She took Saoirse on wonderful walks at Point Defiance and Sehmel Homestead Park, kept her happy and engaged, and made sure Saoirse had the perfect mix of exercise, care, love, attention, and joy. The regulare photos and videos were absolutely delightful to receive (and share :). Tina’s updates, attention to detail, kindness, and genuine love for dogs shine through in everything she does. According to Saoirse, Tina deserves a thousand stars — and I couldn’t agree more. Thank you for taking amazing care of my sweet girl!
Maria was a wonderful companion to Fiddlesticks! She was communicative during our trip, sending great photos and updates. This was our first trip away from Fiddle and we felt totally comfortable and safe leaving him in Maria’s care. She is knowledgeable about dogs, understands their needs, and continued our training during crucial puppy-development-time. We appreciate her so much and would book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Cromwell is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $37 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 6,265 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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
