“Laura was an amazing help to our family at a difficult time. We scheduled her on short notice, but she was fantastic! Laura took great care of our two dogs, was always punctual, and provided a lot of feedback and photos too. Laura also showed she is great at communicating and it’s obvious she has a real love for animals!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 13, including two of my own. Family and friends have trusted me with their pets for years, and I always treat every dog like my own—with love, patience, attention, and plenty of cuddles! I’m also comfortable following feeding and walking routines and administering oral medications. I work from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for regular, long-term schedules as well as occasional or one-time care. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and specific needs! I live in a pet-friendly community and provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention and daily walks. I always follow each pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and specific care instructions. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are my priority, and I’ll treat your pet like part of the family! 🐾
“Grace did an awesome job! I have the world’s shyest cat. Often sitters never see him. Grace is one of the rare humans my cat likes which is saying a lot. In addition to the cat, she gave me updates on my frogs and fish tanks. I highly recommend Grace and intend on using her again.”
“Amelia was a fabulous sitter for my kitty! We met up before my trip, and she asked all of the important questions that I didn't think to bring up, which made me confident that she was well-experienced and prepared! She is so sweet and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Janelle provided care for my doodle and is exceptional. Lola enjoyed her visits and I felt completely at ease knowing my pet was well taken care of from a professional pet sitter. Janelle is very accommodating and easy to work with. Highly recommended and I will definitely continue to request her assistance in the future.”
“Lindsay is wonderful!!! We used her for the first time for a weekend away to care for our kitties. They eat three times a day and have special supplements and meds. Lindsay did a great job making sure they got all their food and meds. She went above and beyond with care and keeping the house tidy. We are excited to have found her and will be booking again soon!”
“Jillian is truly exceptional! She is caring, diligent, and utterly professional in every way. Her communication was thorough and reassuring throughout, and she followed our feeding and cleaning routines to the letter without ever needing a reminder. What really sets her apart, though, is how engaged and attentive she was with my cat, Ralphie. She didn't just show up and go through the motions. She genuinely connected with him. He adores her, and honestly, that's the best endorsement I could ask for. If you want someone who will treat your cat like family, Jillian is the sitter to book. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: The best part of any given day for me is usually seeing a dog or cat. I’ve been recommended by friends and neighbors to take care of their lovable critters and figured I’d give Rover a try! I am currently working part time and have plenty of flexibility when it comes to pet care opportunities. I like to spend more time rather than less when it comes to lovable pets. I enjoy playing with pets if they are the playful type. If not, then I’m comfortable just being there with them. Sometimes they just don’t want to be alone. But if the zoomies kick in, I can keep up!
“Rachel did an amazing job with Finley. She was very responsive and made sure to ask questions to ensure he received the proper care while we were away. I accidentally sent her to our old address and she was very understand and still was willing to drive to our new address and take care of Finley. I will definitely be using Rachel in the future when our dog needs additional care!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for most of my life and have experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. As a longtime pet owner, I understand that every animal has their own routine, quirks, and comfort level. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, basic grooming, medication reminders, and keeping pet parents updated while they’re away. I’m happy to work with each pet parent to find a schedule that fits their needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting based on my availability, and I’ll communicate clearly about scheduling. I understand pets thrive on routine, so I’ll do my best to keep their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime schedules consistent. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m a responsible pet owner myself and understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, supervise pets appropriately, and provide regular updates. Whether caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want for my own.
“Tiarra was excellent with our pet. She was able to calm our dog during our time away. He had never been left alone in his life. This was a big deal!!!! Tiarra will definitely be my “go to” when we need services. She did an amazing job & we tipped 😊”
About: Combining my love for animals and the outdoors with photography. I live in a very green peaceful area close to downtown Glastonbury with lots of space for sniffs and walks, in close proximity to many trails we can explore. My schedule is flexible, currently am a full time student and M off for the summer which allows more time for structure with feeding, walking, hiking, and playtime. Will make sure your dog receives all the love , care , and attention they deserve when you are not available to them . 🐶
“Jan and Jamie were great during their drop-ins with our cat and we're respectful to my home during the visit. Would highly recommend their services and reach out again in the future.”
“Very kind and thorough with the visits… Hired her for a weekend I was out of state and it’s nice to know you don’t have to worry to much about your pup while you’re gone. Will definitely hire again in the future”
“Ellyse was amazing! Super willing to accept my last minute booking - and my modifications throughout the booking. Most importantly, she took great care of my dog Vernon! I will definitely use her in the future :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Glastonbury on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,480 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Glastonbury. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Glastonbury stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Glastonbury. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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.
