“Julie took amazing care of my very shy cat Callie while I was away for a few days. She sent daily updates/pictures, and Callie took to her very well. She even brought her some extra toys to play with. This was our first time using a pet-sitter, and Julie had made this experience very easy and comfortable. I’m very grateful that we have found her, and I look forward to using her again in the future for my future travels.”
About: I try to take parts of Cesar Milan's strategy with dogs specifically. Trying to not reward bad behavior. Making sure a pet can respect my boundaries. Currently have a dog walking client at Winding Brook Condominiums in Meriden. I’m there twice a day for 30 minute walks and play. I bought some balls for her so she can play. Have videos and lots of photos. I work flexible hours as an independent contractor so I make my own schedule. I am building my pet care business so I am signing up for a drone pilots license for pet recovery. I am also working on upgrading my vehicle to a minivan. I am offering pet sitting in your home until that can change to my home. I am needing different things done to my home before I can bring pets to my house.
“Christine was amazing with all our animals and we had suck piece of mind not having to worry about them while we were away…I would highly recommend Christine and will absolutely use her again”
About: Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable dog sitter who truly loves animals. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs, so I take the time to make each pup feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, and plenty of attention. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll provide patient, personalized care while respecting their comfort and boundaries. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in loving hands! 🐾❤️ I am a part time college student and worker. I am very flexible for the most part. I'm always open to discussing anything that fits both of our schedules so please don’t hesitate to contact me! I currently only offered house sitting, but depending on the animals needs and the routine the owner introduces me too is how the fur baby will be taken care of.
“Briona did a great job with a drop in visit for our dog! She sent a bunch of pictures and remembered our dog care instructions from her prior visit. We came home to a happy dog :)”
“Crystal was more than accommodating with my last minute request. I can tell she really loves animals, she even took my dog on a walk at his request! Would definitely book again!!”
“Brooke has taken wonderful care of our cat, Loki, and we couldn’t be happier with her service. She always provides detailed updates after each visit and sends great photos, which gives us peace of mind while we’re away. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy and well cared for. We highly recommend Brooke to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter!”

About: A forever-friend of animals and pets of all sizes. Experienced, friendly, reliable and flexible. Looking forward to meeting your pets and providing care and companionship for your loved ones. I am pursuing a degree part-time and have a flexible work schedule. I am centrally located in Middletown, CT and am willing to drive within about an hour of there to provide care. I like connecting with you and your pet before sitting to develop rapport and to get an understanding of their routines. I like to mirror the way you provide a safe environment for them within your home. This offers a sense of consistency and calm in what may sometimes feel like a stress-inducing situation for your animal. Their safety and health are the priority while they are under my care.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Meriden
Hailey was an absolute peach to work with, and gave us the peace of mind we needed for our hiking vacation out of state! She met with our kitties beforehand, and our oldest cat went right up to her immediately, which let us know she is definitely the “Feline Whisperer”! During our vacation Hailey took the time to write us updates on our fur babies, and even sent pictures! She brought in Amazon packages that were delivered, even though we didn’t request it, and was personable AND professional. We will absolutely have Hailey watch our kitties for our next outing!
Absolutely fantastic Sitter (what every one of his 50+ reviews says & more. Actually deserves a 6th or 7th Star!). Jade is extremely communicative. Even did research on my pet prior to showing up for the walk-thru). - Recognized the cat was 12 years old & asked if he needed any medication or dietary needs (very impressive)! Jade has a way with animals - my cat (normally a little skittish of people he isn’t familiar with) warmed right up to him. Even checked the mail for me (without being asked). Can’t recommend high enough & I will definitely call upon his services again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Meriden is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $22 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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 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.
