“Jennifer was excellent! She went above and beyond in all areas. Our dog is very nervous around new people and she went above and beyond, with so much patience and dedication to bond with him and make him comfortable. She brought him special treats, spent a lot of time just sitting with him so he could become more comfortable and the her, and more. In addition to all of the intentional time she spent caring for our dog, she also left our home cleaner than it was when we left, doing dishes she did not have to do. She was also very responsive, and quick to step in as we searched for a last minute sitter. We came back to a happy dog and are very grateful for everything she did to care for him.”
“Lauren was a great sitter for our 3 crazy pups and kitty. She was responsive and also helped out when one of our pups destroyed a toy and had an accident afterwards without missing a beat. We would definitely love for her to sit again!”
“Cannot say enough good things about Tara. She was loving, caring, conscientious, and overall pleasure to watch my Harley. I am so grateful that she could come on short notice and really cares about people and the animals she takes care of. I would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Emily was great! She came over to do a meet snd greet beforehand and yo personally go over their care. The dogs were very well cared for and Emily followed all instructions we left her. Will be using her again!”
“Eden was fantastic! She was a great communicator, super accommodating with all the quirks of apartment living, and took wonderful care of our dog. We came home to a clean apartment and, most importantly, a very happy pup! Everything was easy and stress-free from start to finish. We would absolutely book with Eden again. 10/10 recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. As I got older I was able to help out more and more, and my love for animals grew with me. We had labs forever, and most recently our two senior black labs that I would carry up our stairs when they couldn’t do it on their own anymore. I want to extend the love and care I have for animals into more lives I have a full-time job, but my schedule is hybrid and extremely flexible. I miss being around animals, so I’m looking for some more fulfillment by extending my care to those around me I’ll happily walk, watch, and play with any animal I have to — even lizards! I’m extremely patient with animals, and I love getting to know them. I spent years carrying our dogs up the stairs, and even building a ramp so they could get down easier. While I prefer they don’t jump or tackle, I’m strong enough to hold my own, and I don’t mind some extra dog kisses. I have our old dog harness that I don’t mind using if a dog isn’t good on a leash
“This was our first experience with Faith and we've already booked her again. She took care of our two cats and one dog, one cat being a senior and needing regular medicine and they were all well loved, we had picture updates, the house was clean and pets were happy. My only hesitation in writing is other people will see this review and steal her time! Haha. We are so grateful our fur babies and us have found Faith!”
“Dina took such good care of our fur babies! We had no worries while on vacation and she checked in with photos (and dressed our pups up for Fourth of July too!) We lost power at our house on the last day, and Dina was fantastic at keeping us updated and making sure our pups were safe! 💞”
“Great experience with Matt! He watched out dog, Stella, for us while we were visiting Mammoth and was super reliable, flexible and very sweet with our dog. Highly recommend Matt if you’re in Mammoth!”

“They did a phenomenal job! Brie was very well cared for, and I’m sure she wouldn’t mind being taken care of again in the future. Shauna and Nixley were very accommodating and understanding of unexpected travel changes which I can’t express my gratitude enough.”
About: My family has fostered over 25 dogs throughout my lifetime, many of which we have adopted.

If needed, I am also willing to take them for a walk if that is their usual schedule. I will complete all requested tasks with the utmost care and attention to detail.
About: Hi, My name is Brooke I go by Seven and my entire life has been surrounded by animals, from catching frogs, lizards, feeding the squirrels and always just having that touch even with the animals that don't trust or care for most humans. I have that special something. I started walking the whole neighborhoods dogs when i was 9 years old, i would walk up to 5 at a time. At the age of 13 i started volunteering for an animal rescue fostering dogs and cats. I was the girl growing up all my friends would bring stray or lost animals too. 16 i started working as a vet assistant, at 18 working a 150 dog ranch/doggie daycare and boarding facility to then move on into my early twenties working a place in Seattle called Dogwood Play Park, the first of its kind. It was an indoor outdoor 21 plus play park and daycare. Owners could bring their dogs to play while they had a beer and got to know other dog lovers, I built many beautiful dog... and people friendships there. I have always been told by the owners they that their dogs listens to me better..I say its just cause i am alpha pack leader!! I have massive respect and love for all animals. I worked in Portland Oregon on a farm in 2022 called Trisklee farm where i cared for all the animals on the property as farmer seven, i did weekend tours of the farm and helped run kids summer camp.I am very good with all ages and types of animals. My biggest strength is animal body language, i can read an animals move before they do it. Something i have picked up over my life span over working with animals everyday. I can administer medications and very aware of your pets behaviors to make sure they feel the most comfortable at all times. I owned guinea pigs, giant Flemish Rex rabbit, cats, and just recently lost my best friends Clyde who was a mastiff Doberman this June , he was almost 12. And Alice my English mastiff who was almost 11 back in 2023 . large breeds are my specialty. I just had a new born on July 29th 2026 and have a year and a half year old as well. I am a stay at home mom who misses her pets and want my children to grow up around animals without making the commitment right now to add to the family. So being good around children who are young and learning boundaries is a must so we don’t put your pet or my children in an uncomfortable or dangerous situation. Hope to hear from you and care for your furry babies . I am a doula and stay at home mom I jsut lost my soul dog and looking to add some furry friends to our pack as friends for my children to learn to be around and get some love . I am very loving at attentive, I notice your pets needs almost immediately and what works for them. I’ll be as involved or chill as they need me to be. It’s your pets world I’m living in it. Yet I’m still alpha and set boundaries
“Wonderful! Sam helped us in a last minute situation and I couldn’t recommend her more! We have two slightly rambunctious dogs and she handled them wonderfully - updating me regularly with pictures and how they were doing. We felt comfortable knowing that the dogs and house were in good hands.”
About: I’ve helped take care of my dogs and cat my entire life! I’ve always loved spending time with pets, and as I became a teenager I started watching other people’s animals. It’s the best job in the world! I started going on rover visits with my mom who’s also an animal lover, who inspired me to create my own account! From lizards, to bunnies, to cats and dogs, I love them all! Pet care is my primary focus, my schedule is very flexible and centered around pets. I’m happy to work with you and your pets needs!

The average cost of House Sitting in Mashantucket is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $72 per night. 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.

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 Mashantucket 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 Mashantucket 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 Mashantucket 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 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.
