“Robin is superb at handling multiple dogs who all want attention at the same time. it can be a chore just getting through the house and she is a true dog whisperer. we look forward to future visits!!”
“We are so happy we had Anna to take care of our two dogs! She was very easy to communicate with and dependable. She took great care of our two large dogs, and they seemed very happy when we returned home. Would recommend her and use her again!”
“Kim was always on time, topped off the food and water, and cleaned the litter box for my two cats. Immediate rapport between my 'boys' and Kim was great! I would invite her again as needed.”
“Priscilla was excellent in taking care of our three kittens while we were away. This was the second time we used her and will use again in the future! She is extremely caring and tried to do everything for them as instructed. Couldn’t have asked for a better Rover!”
“Aliya was very conscientious and attentive to the kitties. She was here every day, checked on the cats, fed them and checked their litter boxes. We would definitely have Aliya cat sit for our babies again in the future.”
About: I love being with animals and have experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, jumping sliders, and lizards. I enjoy learning each animal’s personality and making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I am a student who goes to college out of state but is home for the month of January and is also working part time. Since losing a dog of my own I figured this would be a great opportunity to help others with their pets and still have a great time with animals. I do have a fenced in yard if I take dogs into my home but in other peoples homes, listening to the guardian is most important to me on how they coexist with their pet and respecting that. At the end of the day I want to help people care for their pets.
“Laina was amazing. She came in the heat of a very hot day and took our dog out while we were gone for the evening. She was timely with responses and very friendly. Communication was a breeze. Will definitely use her again!”

“This is the first time I’ve used Rover and I couldn’t be more pleased with Ashley E., who recently cared for our 2 male doggies, while we threw a wedding for our daughter. We have a 6 yr old Belgian Shepherd and a 13 yr old Westie. Ashley was wonderful with each of them giving equal love and attention according to their energy and needs level and all the while keeping me calm by sending texts and photos each time she visited. When she came to meet our dogs, our Belgian actually kissed her, which he rarely does with us! Our Westie requires much medication which she made sure to clearly understand and administer, that was one of my biggest worries about hiring a pet sitter and she did it with ease. Most impressive to me was the morning of the wedding my husband was alone to get ready and needed help with his bowtie, cufflinks and button covers of his shirt. Ashley rescued all of us by helping him, THANK YOU!!! That was above and beyond the call of duty, ha ha. I will definitely be using Rover again and definitely Ashley E!”
“Lynsey was absolutely sensational!!!!!!! Her care of Pooh Bear (my cat) was outstanding, as was her care for my home. She followed directions to perfection and was incredibly polite and professional. I highly, highly recommend her!!!!!!!!!”
“Madeleine has been caring for my dogs since high school. She is attentive, kind and wonderful with my dogs. It shows on how excited they are to see her when she drops in. She provides the best care and from the beginning asked for instruction to make sure she does exactly what is needed to be done each time she visits. I have cameras outside the house and she’ll often bring toys out to play with them during her drop ins. I can’t say enough good things about the care she provides for my dogs. They love her and we do too!”
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.
About: My name is Allison, and I live in Litchfield with my two adorable dogs - Jackson, who is a 12-year-old Boston Terrier, and Mojo, who is a 12-year-old Boston Terrier/Pug mix. I have been providing pet care services for more than a decade now, and I take great pride in offering compassionate and loving care to all animals. It all started in 2010 when I launched my own Pet Sitting and Dog Walking business. Through this business, I have been able to offer pets superior care services in the comfort of their own homes. Five years ago, I decided to expand my knowledge and education on the canine mind, and I became a certified dog trainer. My training is focused on using positive reinforcement to improve the quality of life of both the four-legged fur babies and their two-legged parents. I would like to be able to share my love and compassion for animals with you and your fur babies. Wags, Allison My business is working with animals and as a dog trainer I love to enrich the lives of other animals in any way I can. Compassionate Canine Care is my goal with every animal. I believe in establishing a genuine connection with all the animals I train or take care of. Providing them with the best possible care is crucial to me, as it helps them lead a happy and healthy life for as long as they are with us.
“Angela was great. She understood our dogs and their needs. Angela arrived on time and took good care of our pups, following our instructions and giving them the mid-day break they needed.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life but 2 of my dogs gave birth to 11 puppies in October of 2022 and I helped take care of them all until they were ready to go to their new homes. I kept one of the puppies and have taken care of her since she was a newborn so I am very familiar around all types of dogs. I’m currently available most weekdays and weekends. I keep my calendar up to date and do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. Feel free to reach out with your dates, and I’ll respond as quickly as I can. I will make sure your pets are getting enough attention and exercise when you are away and will treat them like they are my own.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Litchfield on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,436 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Litchfield. 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 Litchfield 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 Litchfield. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
