About: I’m an animal lover with animals of my own!🩷🐾 From training my own pets, to taking care of friends and families, I’ve had a fair share of experience! :) I’m currently a full time student at UNH who works as a server on the weekends! My schedule is mainly open for you and your animal companion! 🩷 I’ve been walking dogs since I was a little girl, so I know the ins and outs! I’m sure of safety and precautions when taking care of my own pets and especially yours🩷
About: Your pets will love being in my care! From hiking, to fetching, or just snuggling on the couch, I am here to make their stay as comfortable as possible! I will treat your pets with as much love and care as if they were my own. My family always had dogs growing up, and I have experienced caring for very young puppies and senior dogs alike. I got my own first dog about 10 years ago and have had dogs ever since. Currently I have two dogs, a boxer/pit mix and a Dalmatian. They love to play outside and cuddle sessions. I am a nurse in Boston, which means that I have random days off in the week. On my days off, I have all the time in the world to do whatever your pup loves best! I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful pets. Please reach out to me if you have any questions! I work as a nurse so my days off each week vary. When I am not home, my husband is there able to care for the pets. My off days I have all the time in the world to walk, play and cuddle. At my house, I love to have my dogs play and have enough stimulation during the day so they are tired by the time night time comes around. I would have the same view with your pet. I think engaging with dogs is key to a happy and healthy pet.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. From growing up with dogs, to working with them, they've always been there. I'm a formally trained groomer who has worked in various places around New England. My specially was working with puppies and dogs with anxiety. Both of those need extra patience and time to keep them safe, comfortable, and to make it the best experience possible. I've also worked for a doggy daycare, have done at home walks, and have a number of years experience with housesitting dogs of all ages. I'm a stay at home mom with two young kids, one in school, one will be going in the fall. We spend plenty of time in our yard, getting fresh air and sun. I have a large yard, unfenced, and a good sized home with plenty of space. There are stairs in the front to get upstairs, but no stairs by the backdoor, making it easy for dogs with mobility issues to come inside.
“Emily did such a great job taking care of my little frenchie, Ladybug!! She was very professional and she gave Lady a lot of attention and a lot of love. ❤️ She made me feel very comfortable with her detailed cards explaining what they had done. I highly recommend Emily. ☺️ Book her yesterday!”
“Heather was an amazing sitter for our 11 yr old PORTY! Oreo loved meeting her and they hit it off immediately. I reached out to Heather for a drop in a few days prior and she was accommodating and was great about sharing messages and photos on her visit-Oreo loved her walk and we will certainly use her again!”
About: I’ve owned dogs ranging from 50 lbs to 80lbs through out my life. I have worked with all types of animals from as small as chickens up to 2000lb horses. I’m currently working part time. I have plenty of time to stay overnight to watch your precious little pups. I also have time to swing by during the day to let them out on a walk. For animals in your home I will follow whatever directions are left for me. On top of that I will also give the animals as much love as they need.
“Greyson LOVED Jessica! She is attentive to detail and goes and above and beyond. I appreciated the communication and clear passion for animals. I will definitely be hiring Jessica again - Grey says thanks for the cuddles!”
“Brandon did an amazing good with my 2 cats! He was reliable! Had very well communication with my requests especially since it was so last minute! Highly recommended him! Will use him for my future trips!”
“Anna & Jordan did a super job caring for my cat while I was out of town. She sent updates and photos so I knew how Oliver was doing and kept the litter box area clean and tidy. The house was in great shape when I returned. I will be booking them again!!”
About: I have never had my own dog, but my family had/has a pitiful who is 12 years old and she made me fall in love with dogs. I was responsible for watching her and my parents two cats while they were on vacations or away. I would even be able to just stop by to take them out and feed them. I have a good sense of different needs for different dog/cat breeds and knowledge of nutrition needs as well. I’m very vigilant and I love to walk so I’m hoping to meet some dogs who love walking just as much. I also love to bathe and brush animals to get them all prettied up. I’m hoping this will be a good stepping stone to furthering my experience. I also have three of my own cats, Wamu, Chamkila and Eado who I love very much and are very spoiled. For me this would help me with getting out of the house, exercising and learning more about different dogs/cats along the way. It’ll help me towards me goals for working with animals. My schedule is pretty open. I am very vigilant with animals they can be hyper and excitable, I may high attention to detail and make sure to always check over pets for ticks and any other issues after walking. I usually carry pumpkin dog treats, freeze dried and easy on most stomachs. Im familiar with dogs who pull and know how to handle them and not get dragged.
“Samantha was so great with our hyperactive nutball German shepherd Remington! We get nervous leaving her with people but she responded so amazingly to Samantha! Very clear that she loves animals and it showed with how happy our pup was!”
About: Looking to help fellow pup owners out for daily visits, walks, extended stays or quick weekend trips! I have been taking care of family & friends dogs for over a decade and can't wait to meet yours! We have an unfenced yard with runners, so the pups can roam on leash with us out back- plenty of room to play & relax. Our dog Ollie loves making new friends (old & young, big or small)! He is used to having new dogs in the house, as we used to foster. Please message if you’re looking for a home that will give your pup extra love while you’re away! :) I am a full time student taking online classes- so, I am home during the day and would love to help make sure your dog has their daily needs met! Our home is completely dog friendly. Our 4 pawed friends always seem to find a cozy spot to take a nap, whether it’s on the couch, chair or a bed! Our neighborhood is also wonderful for walks.
About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, having grown up with both of them. I have such a high fondness! I have trained 4 puppies in the past few years so I am well equipped to handle the littlest of rascals. I also have senior care experience and reactive dog care experience. I am a senior at the University of Southern Maine, and have classes on primarily Tuesdays and Thursdays. Due to my light load on my last year, I am able to have high availability throughout the week especially mornings and afternoons. I do my best to provide as happy of an experience possible for the pets. I give them lots of pets, love, food, water, and whatever else is required for their care. If they need to be crated or put in a carrier I am able to do that. I am also able to trim nails or give medicine or anything of the sorts!
“Julian took fantastic care of our cat, Clementine, while we were away. We were a little anxious about leaving our cat overnight for the first time, but Julian met up with me ahead of time to meet Clementine, go over care instructions, and address any concerns I had. The daily updates and photos were detailed and thoughtful and truly put my mind at ease. Julian even did an extra drop-in on very short notice due to our flight back being delayed - truly above and beyond service! I would highly recommend Julian and would absolutely book again in the future.”

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.
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 Litchfield 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!
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Litchfield with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
