“Kathleen has watched Sirius and been a life saver for dropping in for his check ins when my husband and I have been at work. She always treats him with gentleness and so much love. She’s also very reliable and always keeps us up to date.”
About: I offer compassion, patience and understanding. My experience with dogs began as it does for many when I was a child. My grandfather was a dog trainer. He often brought home stray and injured animals. From him, I gained a wealth of knowledge and respect for animals. Throughout my life I have always had various breeds of dog for companionship and have been fascinated with their behavior and psychology. I have been fortunate to experience first hand the stubbornness of English Bulldogs, the hyper activity of Labrador retrievers, and the gentle weight of mastiff's. Beyond the breed specific traits, I found that each and every dog stands as an individual. Just like people, they all have a unique character and needs. I sincerely hope that you may consider me to care for your companion. I am available after 9:00am weekdays and weekends. However special accommodations can be made. My work is remote and allows for a very flexible work schedule. Your dog sees the world through its nose and as such, we will take our time on walks to let them sniff to their heart’s content. Heavy leash pullers are welcome too. During in home care, I adhere to your dog’s daily routines and schedule of feedings, walks, outdoor breaks and medicines when required. Ample playtime and belly rubs are included at no extra charge. Extended park walks and nature hikes can be scheduled to expose your dog to stimulating new environments and experiences.

About: I've taken care dogs for 5 years. I have extent knowledge of caring for elderly dogs. But I care, feed, and walk for all dogs. I currently work full time so I can walk dogs after work and on weekends. I can also dog sit on the weekends as well. When in my clients home I'm very attentive to the pets. I'm very careful on entering or exiting and following any instructions left for me.
About: I got a bichon frise when I was 5 and he lived until he was 13. He was obviously the family dog but I really took on the role of feeding and walking him when I was older. I have helped train and raise both of my brothers dogs, one being a 12 pound cavachon and the other being a 45 pound hound mix. So I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. I have also watched family friends' dogs in the past which included boarding for a few days, daily walks and feedings, and also can help with some light training like sit, paw, roll over etc. I absolutely love dogs and would take great care of any dog if given the chance and responsibility!

About: Hi! I’m Danielle — a full-time veterinary nurse working in a busy emergency animal hospital. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do on the side — it’s what I do every day, especially in high-pressure, critical situations. Because I work in emergency medicine, I’m extremely comfortable with pets who have medical needs, anxiety, special diets, mobility limitations, or who simply need a little extra patience and understanding. I have hands-on experience monitoring anesthesia, administering medications (including injections), recognizing early signs of illness, and handling urgent situations calmly and efficiently. That said — I also absolutely love the fun side of pet care. Long walks, enrichment play, structured routines, and making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away are just as important to me.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have fostered multiple throughout the years. I’ve also raised my current dog since she was 5 weeks old. I can guarantee pets, love and exercise! I work remotely from home so I can drop in whenever or I can watch your dog here ! I do have two friendly senior dogs and 1 cat but I can keep them all separate if needed! I have two friendly dogs and one friendly cat to keep your fur babies company! My girls are master explorers so you can come join us on our nature walks! We love to go exploring!
“I had a wonderful experience with Ligiane! Her thoughtfulness and excellent communication skills put me at ease while I was away. They kept me updated regularly and went the extra mile to ensure I felt comfortable as a first time with a cat sitter and my cat was well taken care of. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring animal sitter.”
About: I have a flexible schedule that would allow me to come and drop by along with pet sitting. I have grown up with pets and had learned to take care after them. Personally I have watched family and friends animals while away. I have two cats and a dog of my own. I love all animals big and small. Having me watch over your pet will relieve your anxiety as you are away, your pet will be in good hands and taken care of. We all like to know our pets are okay without being there to watch them. I love animals and to take care of them for you when in need would be a pleasure. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions! I have the availability to come by after work during the week for pet care as well free weekends to visit or stay with pet(s) if necessary. I have two cats and a dog of my own that I care for daily and show lots of love to. With your pets I would show them the same care with respect to your home and rules if you have any for their care.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was about 11. I’ve had many cats, dogs, rodents, fish and reptiles in my care over the years, yours will be in caring hands! I’m working as a caregiver part time so I have good availability for pet care. Weekdays: early am-4pm Weekends: early am-10pm After hours available in request I start with a meet and greet, either via video chat or in person to make sure we’d be a good fit and take notes on everything you need me to know about caring for your pet.

About: Vet tech experience combined with hands-on daycare and grooming work means your pet is in knowledgeable, capable hands. I also have experience working with horses, which has strengthened my confidence & awareness when handling animals. I'm currently working toward a career in dog training and have cared for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs through both professional experience and years of pet sitting. I currently work part-time on Tuesdays & Thursdays (9 AM-3:30 PM), with occasional Fridays until 2:30 PM. I'm available for... - Drop-ins: Mon, Wed, Fri (when not scheduled), & weekends - Dog Walking: Weekdays, after 3:30 PM on Tues & Thur, & weekends. - House sitting (overnight): Weekends I am flexible and happy to accommodate schedules when possible! I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I follow all care instructions closely and pay attention to each pet's individual needs, behavior, and routine. I also have experience bathing dogs and can provide baths if needed, as long as the pet is not stressed, and it can be done safely. I prefer to do a quick meet-and-greet beforehand to ask/answer any questions and to ensure your pet feels comfortable with me prior.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8. I’ve pet sitted for friends and family and enjoy walking and spending time with dogs. I like to be very accommodating since I understand the struggle of finding pet sitters on a last minute trip so I hope to help the people in my neighborhood. Since I am a college student and my classes are online I am free to pet sit and provide dog walking services everyday of the week. I will provide water but prefer food to be provided since every owner differs in which food is preferred to feed there pet. Dog walking is always available and let me know if your dog is a fan of any specific activities like fetch. I live in my parents home and they love having pets around so availability is never an issue. We also live in a fenced home so your pet has an extra layer of security.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Montville
Had a great experience with Mark ! Mark in for a last-minute assignment with my large breed German Shepherd, and took excellent care of her without hesitation. Confident that she was receiving the care she needed and she was comfortable with Mark. Definitely recommend.
Charlene was amazing with Clara. She was patient when Clara was shy and anxious around her and worked her way into getting her attention. Clara is difficult when it comes to eating, but Charlene managed to get her to eat on the second try. So happy with how she takes care of my dog baby and would definitely hire her again!
We have been using Nicole for some time now & I already left a review before, but wanted to come back and reiterate how great she is after using her services for a while. Our pups love her and we always feel so comfortable allowing her to care for them. She is communicative and provides great updates, even just for quick drop-ins. We’re grateful to have found Nicole!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Montville is $13 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $17 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 24,576 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Montville. 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 Montville 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 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.
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 Montville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
