“Julie was fantastic while we were on vacation for over a week! She was reliable and spent time with our dog outside and sent pictures each day! She even brushed the hair off our dog as well! I highly recommend her!”
“Katelyn was fantastic! Spent a good amount of time with our cats, playing with them and petting them. She was reliable and trustworthy. Would highly recommend. We will definitely be working with Katelyn again!”
“Karlena has been amazing with our puppy Billie! She is always on time and keeps us updated. She works on training her while she’s here and puts up with the puppy biting. She is our saving grace on days where we aren’t home for extended periods of time.”
About: Family and friends have trusted me to care for their family members for 3 years now with enough space, and a park close by for plenty walks per day, there is always plenty room for endless naps and play time in or outside. As someone that works from home full time I will be able to care 24/7 if needed any day of the week, potty as many times as needed and as many walks needed. There is a field across the street that is the perfect potty spot for any dog size, a park with plenty grass to run around in, 3 walks a day 1 hour each
“Christine has done a great job taking care of our dog. She is a good communicator, punctual and reliable. I can tell she takes care of our dog like he is her own! She provided us with lots of updates and pictures from her drop in visits, which is much appreciated. If you are looking for pet care I would definitely recommend Christine!”
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.
“I highly recommend Rebecca! Everything went very smoothly and she made my family’s time away stress free. She took care of my two dogs and it was clear they were in good hands! She sent several pictures with her updates which was awesome!”
“Alex watched my dogs for several days while I was out of town and took fantastic care of them. She played fetch every time she went by, sent several pictures, and let me know anything out of the ordinary. I would highly recommend letting Alex take care of your fur babies!”
About: My name is Chase. I am a track and field athlete with a bunch of energy. I am also experienced in dog training. I can go on runs with your dogs and take on as much play time as they can dish out. What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep love and respect for animals. I have always been a pet owner and animal lover, and I treat every pet under my care as if they were my own. I understand that pets are more than just animals, they are beloved members of the family, and they deserve the best care possible. I take the time to get to know each pet's unique personality, preferences, and needs, and I tailor my care accordingly. I am patient, compassionate, and attentive, and I make sure to give each pet the individualized care and attention they deserve. I am also reliable, professional, and responsive, and I communicate regularly with pet owners to provide updates and answer any questions or concerns they may have. Above all, I am committed to providing the highest quality pet care possible, and I take pride in making sure both pets and owners are happy and satisfied with my service. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. As a passionate pet lover, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of my furry friends. I start my day by feeding and walking my own pets, and then I head out to provide pet care services to my clients. During my visits, I make sure to give each pet the attention and care they need, whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or simply cuddling. I also keep track of any specific needs or instructions from the pet owner, and I communicate regularly with them to provide updates and ensure their peace of mind. After my visits, I make sure to leave the pet's environment clean and tidy, and I follow up with the owner to make sure they are satisfied with my service. Pet care is not just a job for me, it's a passion, and I take pride in providing the best care possible to every pet in my care. When caring for pets in the client's home, I follow any specific instructions or guidelines provided by the owner. I make sure to keep the pet's environment clean and tidy, and I provide the same level of love and attention that I would give to my own pets. I make sure to stick to the pet's regular feeding and exercise schedule and provide any special care or medications as needed. I also communicate regularly with the owner to provide updates and ensure their peace of mind. My priority is always the pet's comfort, safety, and happiness. I am committed to providing top-quality pet care that meets both the pet's and the owner's needs.
“Whitnee was fantastic with Echo! She was willing and ready to help me extremely last minute and took the extra time to make sure Echo had the care he needed! Thanks so much Whitnee!”
“We had such a great experience with Mckenzie! From the very beginning, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our puppy was in good hands. We also loved the photo updates. We came home to a relaxed, happy puppy, and that says everything. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Meriden
Hailey was perfect with our two shy cats. She had them wrapped around her fingers after the first visit. We were shocked to receive photos of them being chatty with her and wanting all the pets. She went above and beyond what we requested. She will take care of your pets and treat your home as if her own. We will absolutely be rebooking with Hailey.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Meriden on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,305 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Meriden. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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 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.
