About: I have a wide range of knowledge in animal care. I provide senior animal care, medication administration (have experience with liquid syringe fed, food mix ins), I am patient and willing to learn and help out with any necessary training, exercising, and/or special medical care. I have two parakeets myself, and spend a lot of time at my parents house with my family dogs. I also have experience caring for rabbits and cats as well although I am willing to learn to care for basically any type of animal. I am a hairstylist, and often have the ability to shorten my days to accommodate bathroom breaks, feeding, and other important care times. The only main activity outside of work is going to the gym, but I can easily make a cardio day by going for walks/hikes with your fur baby’s! I am dedicated to following routines that you have set up for your pets such as crating, training skills, and special requests to keep your pets at ease and safe.

“Allison watched our cat and dog with daily visits while we were away. Our dog is a large German Shepard that can be a bit of a challenge to handle, but Allison quickly put him at ease and established trust with our dog. She also took excellent care of our cat, giving him the type of quality attention that he loves. What stood out to me was how Allison kept a watchful eye on everything during her visits. She pointed out an issue with our rather expensive fish tank and notified me. I'm sure we would have lost most of our fish and coral if she had not taken the initiative to help out. In addition to giving us daily updates and photos of our pets she gives you the sense that everything is well taken care of. Allison far exceeds what I was expecting of a good pet sitter. In my opinion, there is absolutely no one better. I highly recommend Allison. You can feel at ease when you are away. She is a superstar!”

About: I had the joy of a Lhasa Apso Miniature Toy Collie for four years, showing my love for both felines and canines. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I found a nurturing home with a dear friend for my dog. Now, working from home, I'm eager to bring a pet's companionship back into my life. I offer a clean, safe environment and enjoy spending time outdoors, soaking up fresh air during breaks and lunchtime walks around my complex. Creating a pet-friendly atmosphere is important to me, and it would be a pleasure to share my home with a furry friend. I'm gentle and affectionate with animals, and they naturally warm to me. I'm looking forward to meeting your pet and hopefully becoming your next sitter. I'm available for boarding drop-off after 3:30 p.m. on weekdays and after 9 a.m. on weekends. Pick-up time is by 5 p.m. on weekdays and by 3 p.m. on weekends, but I'm flexible if needed. I do not currently have any pets. In the near future, upon purchasing a home with acres of land and a secure yard, I plan to welcome a pet into my family.

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was a child, and for the past 7 years, I’ve been independently caring for them. From big to small breeds, I’ve handled a variety of dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ve provided drop-ins for bathroom breaks, feeding (including dogs with allergies or specific requirements), and I’m always excited to take dogs for walks and hikes. I’m experienced with both skittish pups and energetic jumpers—jumping doesn’t bother me, and I know how to manage it safely. I’ve also cared for dogs with basic health needs like administering pills or shots. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I truly miss the companionship and bond that comes with spending time with a furry friend. I currently work 5 days in office. While I may not be able to stop in during the day, I have availability before and after work. I work between the hours of 8am-5pm, but I can be flexible based on your and your puppy’s need! I believe in the importance of meeting both the family and the dogs prior to sitting. This helps establish trust and ensures a smooth transition for both the pet and the family. I understand that it can be stressful for a dog to have a stranger in their home, so I like to take the time beforehand and allow the dog to become familiar with me.

About: Working professionally with animals at a chain pet store, I oversaw operations having to do with the care of dogs of all ages. I prioritize keeping your dog healthy and happy- through walks, runs, playing with them and allowing their energy out, as well as being there for them through all the support they need. I offer part-time pet care services in your home Monday through Friday 4pm and later, overnight care when needed, and am available all hours Saturday and Sunday. I only provide care in my clients home, considering I have 2 cats of my own at home, and prioritize an environment that caters to the animals healthy and safety. They are there more than us!

About: Ive been a dog trainer for about 4 years. I specialize in reactive dog handling and went through intense training myself in Maine for 6 months to be able to do what I do & would love to work with your dog/dogs. I have training in working with all type of breeds & temperaments. I currently work part-time as a dog trainer, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and training sessions throughout the week, with the most flexibility in the afternoons and evenings. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a structured, low-stress environment by sticking to your dog’s routine as closely as possible while also reinforcing calm behavior and good habits.

Me and my boyfriend live and have a cat together. At my parent’s home, we have one little 10 year old Shih-Tzu that loves other dogs.

About: I have lots of experiencing taking care of my little dog Roy, a Chihuahua and Boston terrier. I live together with my brother in a suburbia kind of neighborhood and work from home, we have a beautiful backyard and front yard space as well. We love hiking and usually go for a run no matter the weather. As I work primarily from home, I am mostly here to provide personalized care and tend to all their needs. I can be available at random times during emergencies or last minute planning. I live an active lifestyle and can run with the dog to ensure your pal is getting the exercise they need through out the day. I like a challenge and am willing to adhere to special circumstances with your pet.

“Xinlin did a wonderful job with my cat (and my aquarium). Her demeanor was friendly, her timing was prompt (even though I'm lenient with timing windows), and she exudes her affection for felines. She followed my instructions, got some playtime in, and messaged me about any questions she had rather than act on assumptions like I've had other sitters do. Surprisingly, she took some wonderful photos of my cat in action, something that is hard for even ME to do. I'll definitely using her services again. Thanks Xinlin!”

“Erin is a fantastic sitter. She was incredibly helpful for the two weeks we had her provide drop-in visits for. She communicated well. We loved the pictures and are so glad all three of our cats had such excellent care. She even took our garbage down to the street for trash day which was absolutely above and beyond. We came home to three well cuddled, well-fed, and happy kitties. We would absolutely use her services again in the future.”

About: Let me bring your dog on an adventure - my dog walks start at $20 but I do hikes on a sliding scale. I have group play experience, I can bring your dog to a dog park without any fear that your dog will get into any sort of trouble. I'm a quiet, clean, petsitter, I will likely leave your house cleaner than it was when you let me in. "I have worked with Kae, of Little Lyons, for about a year. He is contentious, dedicated, and loving to all the people and pets he comes into contact with. I highly recommend his services and happily look forward to working with him again in the future." - Nicole E. "Kae dogsits for me when I go away on business trips or go into Boston for the weekend, and I could not recommend him more highly! He is caring and attentive to my dog; my dog gets so excited to see him. My dog is medium to high energy and Kae always tires her out. He is extremely knowledgable about dogs and dog behavior and has given me several tools to help keep my dog more mentally engaged and less stressed. Kae is punctual, he remembers all sorts of details about every dog, and he is my go-to whenever I need someone. Best dog sitter/walker in the Providence area!" - Kate R. I have worked with a doggy daycare, where I learnt dog behavior, and positive reinforcement training. I have worked in home pet sitting for dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, tortoises, geckos, bearded lizards, salt and fresh water fish, for over a decade. Schedule a meet and greet with your pets! LGBTQIA+ friendly, Disability and Sensory Friendly I have kept strange hours for a very long time. I can fit your furry (or scaly or feathered) family into my schedule without issue. As a pet service professional, I like to make sure your pet is well attended to, and you feel as safe and comfortable as they do. I enjoy waking up to walk a client's dog, or making sure your cat feels safe before it's time to turn the lights off. You can rest assured while I am with your pets that they will be well attended to. A typical visit includes 15-20 minutes of play with your pet depending on energy levels, lots of positive attention and love, feeding and making sure they have access to water and making sure any business is done. As an overnight visitor, often for pets with anxiety or special needs/senior pets, I am with your pet in your home from 10pm-8am, plus visits during any of their usual scheduled feedings. As a dog walker, you can expect me to arrive and provide a full 30 minute walk to your pet. If you book through rover, you can also get a map of the walk we did, how long it took, and I provide pictures along the way. When it's time to go home, I make sure they and your home are safe and secure.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Litchfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Litchfield is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $21 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 October 2026, there are 2,530 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Litchfield. On Rover:

  • 88% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
