Kristen did an amazing job watching our energetic and food-crazy Labrador. She stayed in our home and we felt so comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. She sent daily check ins and photos. Also she was so respectful of our home and left it spotless. She even washed her sheets, towels and ran the dishwasher/put the dishes away before leaving! She was on time, always very prompt in replies to texts, and even made sure our packages were brought in and kept safe from our curious doggy. Won’t hesitate to use her again in the future!

Kelly took great care of my cat Harry. Harry is an elderly cat that needs medication twice a day. Harry can also be a very picky and demanding eater. He's fastidious and will not use his litter box if it is the least bit dirty. Kelly handled all of this well and even proved to Harry that she was a good substitute for Mom.

We're very grateful for the care Joanne provided for our 3 dogs, two of whom are elderly. Staying overnight provided the peace of mind we needed when gone.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies who need consistency and basic training, to senior pets who need a slower pace and a little extra care. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and comfort so your pet feels secure and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I have class two days a week, but I’m available in between classes and afterward. I work five days a week, but I’m consistently available after 3 PM as well as on weekends. I’m able to maintain reliable, consistent care and adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I provide care in your pet’s home so they can stay comfortable in their own environment. During visits or walks, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—this includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I also make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care while keeping your home clean and secure.

Jenn was house sitting for a week with my 2 dogs. She was very caring and kind to them. She was especially patient with one of my dogs who is afraid of the thunderstorms. Jenn is a very responsible person with great attention to the details. She also left the house in perfect order. I can highly recommend Jenn and hope to work with her in the future.

About: My family and I are Christians. I was making plans to get my son a dog once he started working this summer. His big sister, who is now 20, worked at Ripleys Aquarium before she joined the Airforce a year ago. He wants a job there this summer just so he can learn more about animals. He is a natural around dogs and other animals. He is an honor role student who wants to be a vet one day. While I was out walking in my neighborhood, I ran into a sweet lady who told us about Rover.com. I thought how perfect is that. We get the love and warmth of a dog, and I will be able to teach my beloved son about responsibility and helping others. Your dog will get the love and care that you would expect and will be completely safe with us. The last dog I owned was a Staffordshire Terrier. We loved him. His resting place is in my home Bermuda.

I focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive experience so your pet feels comfortable even when you are away. I pay attention to routines, energy levels, and personality because every animal is different. You can expect reliable communication, consistent updates, and someone who truly cares about your pet’s happiness and safety.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my experience and passion for both animals. As someone who has had dogs her whole life, I understand dog's behavior and can work with dogs that range from puppies to senior dogs. Additionally, my background in physical education gives me the ability to engage pets in active play while ensuring their well-being. I’m dedicated, patient, and kind-hearted, making sure every pet feels loved and cared for. My positive attitude and sense of humor help create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for all pets in my care. Pet care fits into my routine as I can handle tasks like feeding, walking, and playing with pets at flexible times, fitting them around my lenient schedule. I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets, following their regular routine for feeding, exercise, and bathroom breaks. I keep them engaged with play, training, and affection, making sure they feel loved and secure, whether in my home or yours.

FAQs for House Sitting - Litchfield by the Sea

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 337 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Litchfield by the Sea. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Litchfield by the Sea walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Litchfield by the Sea maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

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 by the Sea 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!

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.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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.

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

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
