“We're so glad we were able to book Kristy and Chris to do drop-ins for our cat while we were on vacation over the weekend. Kristy and Chris were extremely professional and took detailed notes on the instructions to care for Pemi. We really appreciate their courtesy and timeliness. Would highly recommend them to anyone else in the area!”

About: I have a life long passion for animals and have had animals my entire life! Right now I have 3 dogs and 1 cat. I've had cats and dogs, and although I haven't had a reptile, bird or small animal, I attended an agricultural high school at which I helped care for these animals. At the school, I volunteered at an animal daycare for teachers and was in charge of our "woof wash" where be bathed and clipped animals nails. I am always happy to walk and play or just sit on the couch and hang out. I worked in an animal shelter caring for both dogs and cats for 4 years in high school. I don't currently volunteer at a shelter but in the past I have volunteered at Little Guild of St Francis, and Home at Last in Philadelphia. Even in my spare time I love to learn more about dogs and spend time with pups that need it the most!

About: I provide, as well as top-notch care,a uniquely adaptive music therapy session for your pet so that even the most high-strung pets can feel relaxed and reassured by the sound of live classical piano music. A professional musician,I have also raised a litter of 10 puppies and have owned at least one dog at every point in my life.I am a consummate pet lover with 2 dogs currently. If your animal is a bit of a loner I can provide sequestered accommodations. I have a 16 year old who also loves animals; she as well has never lived without a dog. One of her passions is horseback riding and through this activity she has achieved a gentle but commanding demeanor around most animals. Between the two of us your pet will never lack a playmate! My work schedule allows for either me or my daughter to always be at home, so the pets have round the clock love and attention. I have a fenced in yard, and a house with plenty of space for pets to hang out. My 2 dogs are very friendly and are used to visiting dogs.

“Lynsey is absolutely phenomenal! She took fabulous care of our wonderful cat, Inga, who is often shy with new people. Lynsey made Inga feel comfortable immediately and this continued for the entire time we were away. Lynsey was reliable, communicative, and it was a true privilege to work with her. We'd give her ten stars if we could, and cannot.say enough good things about her.”

Mako didn't go camping, but was a happy camper when I got home. Thank you for providing love and of course food while we were gone. Hope to rebook with you again next year! 🐾”

About: I enjoy the outdoors and taking a walk. Your dog will have lots of play time, as well as fun, treats, food and water. I just like having a dog around to keep each other company so they are not home alone for long time period, you know getting into mischief we can do that together and have more fun haha. I currently do not have any dogs but will get one when the time is right. I have enjoyed and attended dog shows showing for obedience and agility(Dalmatians). I also attended and passed the canine good citizenship test with my first dog. My second dog was adopted and we did agility and was a lot of fun. A dog is a companion in which you meet other dog friendly people. I'm currently working full time but would have time to care for your fur kid/s before and after work, get mail, water plants, check house. I do not have a fenced yard so would take your fur kids out on a leash at your home or if fenced and you chose for them to be loose at your home.

About: What sets me apart is the amount of genuine care and attention I give every pet. I’ve always had animals growing up, so caring for them comes very naturally to me, and I truly love being around them. I understand that every pet has a different personality, comfort level, and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, whether that means keeping up with an energetic puppy, giving extra comfort and gentleness to senior pets, or simply making sure pets get plenty of affection and companionship. I also keep owners updated regularly with messages and photos so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are being well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and consistency throughout the day. I make time for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and one-on-one attention, while also making sure pets have a calm and comfortable environment to relax in. I’m organized, flexible with routines, and able to adjust care based on each pet’s individual needs and energy level. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I make sure they have a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and a consistent routine. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and comfort level, whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel comfortable while they’re away. In clients’ homes, I respect both the pet’s routine and the home itself. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special preferences or behaviors. I try to keep pets as comfortable and stress-free as possible by maintaining their normal routine and giving them lots of care and companionship.

About: I have been watching animals since I was 12 years old. Taking the neighbors pets for a walk, feeding them, or just checking in on them. I also have my Animal Control License and have been an ACO for 2 years now. I love it. I have a passion for animals and will do anything to make sure your fur babies are well kept and safe. I do work full time during the day M-F so midday check-ins are a little hard but morning and nighttime services are always easy for me to accomplish! I typically watch the animals in their own home just so they can stay within their routine. I never want to make the owner or animal feel uncomfortable ever.

“Samantha is amaizing!!! I'm a nervous nelly pet mom and she made my first pet sitter experience with my doggo a breeze. My dog is a big dog who has some anxiety issues and she was willing to meet him first and get to know him. She was very professional, flexible, punctual, and her report card was very fun and reassuring to read as a helicopter mom to a 80lb fur baby. I am hoping to use her as my pet sitter for a long time and simply cannot recommend her enough. Thanks Samantha!”

About: I’ve been obsessed with animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by pets really sparked my passion for taking care of them. These days, I’m a proud dog parent, and I’m always the go-to person whenever my friends, family, or neighbors need someone to watch or help out with their fur babies. I’ve also spent a lot of hands-on time volunteering at local animal shelters, which I absolutely love Pet care is seamlessly built into the start and end of my day. Every morning and evening, I prioritize feeding, walking, and grooming my dog. Weekly, I dedicate time to deeper tasks like washing bedding and deep-cleaning gear. Because these habits are already second nature to me. When I visit your pet, my main goal is to keep them happy, safe, and on their usual schedule. I'll swing by, double-check that the house is secure, and scoop fresh food and water exactly how instructed. Then, we’ll head out for a good walk or have a fun playtime session. I always send quick text updates and cute photos while you're away so you know how your fur babies are doing.

About: Growing up, I had a Lab and then a Boxer and two cats. I've also helped my aunt at the doggie daycare she runs out of her home where she often has more than 10 dogs at a time. Everything from a Great Pyrenees to German Shepherds to Doodles to Yorkies. And it's always so much fun! The care I'll give your pets will really depend on them and their needs. There's a very large unfenced grass area behind my apartment building that would be perfect for walks or play. And there are multiple parks in the area too we could explore. At yours, I'd keep whatever their normal routine is. Whether that's taking walks, throwing the ball or just sitting and chilling and scratching butts. Their butts of course!

About: I combine patience, experience, and genuine affection for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s an energetic pup, a gentle senior, or a shy cat, I adapt to meet their needs and make them feel at home. Taking care of pets is part of my regular routine. I like to get outside and stay active by walking and running dogs, and I make sure to spend quality time giving pets the attention and love they deserve. It’s something I enjoy and look forward to fitting into my days. I prioritize safety and comfort above all when caring for pets. Whether I’m visiting your home or welcoming pets into mine, I will make sure the environment is clean, secure, and pet-friendly. I will also follow any specific instructions you provide and keep a close eye on your pet’s behavior to ensure they’re happy and safe at all times. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me, so I communicate openly and am responsive to any needs or concerns.

About: I’ve been walking dogs since I was a kid, and have cared for several senior dogs while their families were away in recent years. I’ve also house-sat for kitty families and multi-pet homes. Whether your pet has special requests or just needs some company, I’m excited to meet them! I’m a Park Ranger who works seasonally and I am currently in the off-season until March. Thus, I have a very open, flexible schedule for all your pet care needs. My approach is very thoughtful and considerate of your space and what you prefer your pet be allowed to do. Before entering anyone’s home, I like to check in with the home owner to ensure I’m aware of all rules and preferences so I can provide the excellent service you’re looking for while respecting your boundaries as well.

So glad that Anna was available for drop in visits. She did a very good job of taking care of the needs of my two cats over a span of several weeks. Anna is pleasant and conscientious. and the kittens miss her. I look forward to calling on her again when needed.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Litchfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Litchfield is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 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 November 2026, there are 2,353 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Litchfield. 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 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 Litchfield. 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 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.
