“Haze and Gus were well taken care of, she arrived on time or a little early every time. She made sure they were fed, the litter was cleaned, and they were played with. Would recommend her to my friends, and will definitely ask for her again if I need a sitter in the future”

“I cannot recommend Donna enough. I was extremely anxious leaving my 2 cats for a week but Donna kept my mind at ease and I didn't have to worry for a second. She took so many pictures, sent updates twice a day, and gave lots of pets and love to my boys. I will 100% book again in the future. Thank you so much for being so amazing Donna, you made my vacation so much more enjoyable and stress free 💜”

About: I love all animals, but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I grew up with an Airedale Terrier and later a Welsh Terrier, which gave me a strong foundation in caring for dogs at different life stages. I also have hands-on experience supporting a senior dog - handling vet visits, acupuncture appointments, and helping him get around comfortably when his mobility declined. I’m a young professional looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy. In college, I lived with a friendly and affectionate pit mix who quickly became one of the most lovable dogs I’ve ever known. In addition, I’ve fostered puppies, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and energy levels. I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work around your needs to ensure your dog gets the best care possible.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since childhood and previously had 2 dogs of my own. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing calm, loving care to both dogs and cats. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and personality. I have a structured but flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for pets before and after work, as well as on weekends. I prioritize clear communication and consistency so pets feel comfortable and owners feel at ease. I create a calm and safe environment by following the pet’s usual routine and the owner’s instructions. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and respectful of both the pet and the home, treating each situation with care and responsibility.

About: I've helped take care of friends and families pets throughout my life. While I have no pets of my own due to my living space, I can't wait to meet your fur babies and add them to my list of friends! Before transitioning to independent pet care, I spent years working as a Seafood Manager. In that role, I was directly responsible for strict food safety protocols, meticulous sanitation, and managing high-stakes daily operations. I bring that exact same level of professional detail, reliability, and cleanliness into your home. You can trust that your pet's medication schedules, dietary restrictions, and safety protocols will be followed precisely. Dedicated Time Blocks: I structure my schedule around dedicated morning to mid-day walking blocks (8 AM – 3 PM) and evening check-ins to ensure consistency. I am available for other times depending on the day as well. Punctuality First: As a former manager, I view schedules as strict commitments. Your pets will be fed, walked, and checked on at their exact scheduled times .Overnight Consistency: For house-sitting clients, I maintain a reliable presence in your home, aligning my routine with your pet’s natural sleep and wake cycles. Required Meet & Greets: I schedule a brief, mandatory introductory meeting before confirming any booking to ensure your timeline fits perfectly with my availability. My Safety & Care Protocols: For Your Dogs: Secure Equipment Checks: I double-check collars, harnesses, and leashes before stepping outside. I never allow off-leash play in unsecured areas. Behavior Awareness: I maintain high alertness on walks to avoid strange dogs, hazards, or triggers. For Your Cats: Visual Verification: I never leave a home without physically spotting your cat in their preferred zone to guarantee they are safe. Respectful Interaction: I let shy or independent cats set the pace, never forcing interaction or causing stress. Home & Trust Management: Manager-Level Cleanliness: I keep feeding stations pristine, wash food bowls daily, and strictly manage trash and litter box sanitation. Secure Lockups: I follow entry, alarm, and key management instructions flawlessly to protect your home. Real-Time Transparency: You will receive clear photo updates and a detailed status summary text during every single booking.

About: Growing up fostering rescue dogs from 11 hour rescue taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for dogs with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I work full-time and work from home on Fridays, so I’m very flexible and available Friday through Sunday. I’d love to spend that extra time caring for your pup! I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for. I follow their routines closely, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and always respect each pet’s individual needs.

“I have too many adjectives to describe Colleen. She was extremely trustworthy, communicative, accommodating, caring, thoughtful, kind, responsible and prepared. I always stress when I go away and leave my girls but Colleen alleviated that feeling almost entirely. She even stayed longer than needed the first night. I am very happy with how my girls were treated and will definitely pick Colleen as my sitter next time.”

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I can remember, I enjoyed also walking them for my friends and neighbors. I don’t have one currently, this will hopefully help fill the void. I’m available from mid day well into the evenings also available on weekend under special circumstances. I enjoy my walk and helping people. The company and pay are perks. Your furry friends is my priority I only walk one dog at a time. Paws will be brushed and whipped to remove dirt prior to entering the home. They will also be brushed and dried on rainy days if brush and towel is provided.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and genuinely love spending time with animals of all personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, basic routines, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, so I always follow the pet parent’s instructions and keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. 🐶💕 I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for early morning walks and drop-ins before 7 AM and evenings after 5:30 PM. I’m also available on weekends with much more flexibility throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, and any special needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. ❤️

No matter the age or what special care is needed, I am on board. I can be available after 6pm on weekdays, flexible on weekends. I do work full time, so this will be a side job for me.

About: I started out helping friends and colleagues with their pets, and it quickly grew into caring for high-profile families/individuals who need someone they can trust. I know your time is valuable and your privacy maybe is non-negotiable. I am here to provide a seamless, stress-free experience for your dog, ensuring they get the exercise and care they need while you’re busy with your day. Why clients choose me: • Total Discretion: I have years of experience working with high-profile households. I value your privacy and maintain a low-profile, professional presence at all times if needed. • Reliable & Hands-On: You are getting one-on-one attention from someone who understands the demands of a busy lifestyle. Whether you are just running errands for the day, need some “you time”, family event or stuck at the office late - I am available to bring peace of mind so you know your dog(s) is taken care of. Your dog(s) will never be around any other dogs as your time is solely YOUR time. • Experience: I have worked with puppies, senior dogs, dogs with special diets, dogs needing medication & even dogs that tend to be dog-aggressive. I am focused on providing the best possible care for your dog. I’m happy to chat about how I can make your daily routine easier and ensure your pet is always in great hands. Because I work fully remotely, I have the kind of flexibility that most pet care providers don’t. While others are juggling multiple clients and strict appointment windows, I am able to provide a much more consistent, reliable presence for your pet with the proper communication. Since I am not tied to a traditional office or a rigid 9-to-5, I am able to: • Provide True Flexibility: I don’t have to rush through visits. If your dog needs extra time to warm up, a longer walk, or a mid-day play session, I have the time to make that happen. • Offer Peace of Mind: Being remote means I am always nearby. Last minute client at work? Deciding to go-to happy hour with some friends? I am just a text message away. *I do have 2 days a week where I have work meetings I need to attend so scheduling may need to work around that if services are needed during those times.” Since I believe dogs thrive in their own environment, I do not bring any dogs to my place of residence, If I am at a clients home, I set-up complimentary meet & greets prior to any service being provided so we can all get to know eachother & you are comfortable with me being in your home & around your pups

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Montville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Montville is $13 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $21 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 25,701 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Montville. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
