“I highly recommend Troy when caring for a senior dog. Our Sammy needed 24/7 care for absolutely everything and Troy did an outstanding job doing even more than what was required for his safety and comfort. I highly recommend Troy when you need a trustworthy dog sitter”
About: I currently own 3 rescue dogs and have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have a habit of loving what some would call "bad" or "untrainable" dogs. My dog, Ham, frequently lunges and nibbles my face. I am used to being jumped on and it doesn't bother me. Although I try to correct the behavior, I understand some dogs are just goofy. I adopted Toast when he was about 12 weeks old, so I have experience with puppies. My oldest dog is currently 15, so I'm great with senior dogs as well. I have experience walking, playing, boarding and doggy day camp. I hope that I can fit your needs :D I currently am a freelance artist, so I'm home pretty much all the time. I have a flexible schedule and am extremely punctual. I have a great schedule for animal care and love animals :D I have a fenced in yard with 3 dogs living here full time. if you want to board your dog with me or do doggy day camp at my house, they will need to either be a good with with my dogs OR stay with me in my office during the day and be let out individually.
“Nikkii was absolutely great. She sent pictures and kept me posted on how they were doing daily. My 2 crazy fur babies loved her and can't wait to see her again! Thank you for taking such great care of them”
“Sabrina and Daniel were great! They took such good care of my pups, communicated well, and left me feeling confident that my dogs and my home were in good hands while I was away. They also took some of the cutest photos of them that I've seen. :) Who knew I'd have souvenir photos of my dogs in addition to my vacation photos? I would recommend them highly. They are experienced dog-people who love what they do.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life! Friends and family have always said that I’m an animal whisperer. Since I can remember, I’ve taken care of neighbors, friends, and family pets. I’ve worked at a doggy daycare for 3 years spend a majority of my time with animals! I am a recent college graduate and am exploring this new phase of my life. If you leave your pets in my care, I can assure you they will receive constant love and attention! I am a recent college grad looking to dive head first into my pet sitting business! My schedule is currently wide open as I also search for my first post-grad career! I have a lot of experience working with pets and can deal with practically any temperament! I feel comfortable learning your dogs daily routine and staying in your home, as long as you are!
“We were very happy with Palma and would not hesitate to use her services again. Our two German shepherds were calm and content after we returned a few nights later. She left the house atleast as clean as she found it (maybe cleaner).”
“Katherine was great with our 2 dogs and our cat. She even got our rambunctious pups to walk on leash together, something we still struggle with. We will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“Alyssa was fantastic! I have a house full of different pets, and she did a fantastic job managing all of their unique scheduling and dietary needs. She kept us informed of how things were going, and the house looks like she wasn't even here ( with the exception that she cleaned the litter boxes and took out the trash even though we didn't ask her to do so). Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“This was our second time having Steve watch our pups, and we couldn’t be happier! Our dogs absolutely love him, and he always goes above and beyond. He asks great questions before, is super attentive, keeps us updated with TONS of pictures, and we always feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in his care. We highly recommend him!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I currently live with my parents, where we have two family dogs, an Australian Kelpie and a Border Collie/Lab mix. So I'm very comfortable with energetic dogs and understand the importance of exercise, routine, and positive attention. Since graduating high school five years ago, I've regularly dog sat for friends and family, caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether it's going for walks, stopping by for drop-in visits, or keeping your pup company while you're away, I'll make sure they receive the same love, care, and attention I'd want for my own dogs. I currently work four days a week, so I'm available for pet care on Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. On the days I work, I don't start until 1:00 PM, which means I'm also available for morning walks and drop-in visits before work. I do my best to be flexible and communicate clearly, so you can count on dependable care that fits your pet's routine! At this time, I only offer care in my clients' homes, where I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their familiar environment. I take the time to follow each owner's care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other routines that help your pet feel safe and secure.
“Carol was absolutely amazing! She took care of our Nala girl for the fourth weekend! Not only did she help with fireworks she also made sure she was okay during one of the largest summer storms this year! We 100% recommend her and are so lucky we found her!”
About: I’ve been a pet and animal owner my entire life. We have 3 young kids who love to play and one energetic 4 year old dog who also loves to play, so your pet would get a lot of play time at this house! I have lots of availability this summer, so reach out to me for specifics. Once fall hits and I’m back at school, I’ll be available for weekends. We have one friendly dog to keep yours company. Our yard is not fenced in, but we take frequent walks throughout the day. Our dog sleeps upstairs in the bedroom with us, but we do have a crate available if needed.
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to four adorable cats and two kind-hearted, animal-loving children. Growing up, my home was always filled with furry, feathered, and scaly friends — from my loyal German Shepherd to curious hamsters, chirpy parakeets, gentle iguanas, and, of course, lots of sweet kitties. With a lifetime of hands-on experience and a deep respect for all creatures, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. Whether it's a weekend getaway or a long vacation, you can relax knowing your pets are in loving, experienced hands. I am a teacher, and will be home for the summer beginning mid June and going through late August. My availability this summer will be quite open. I am a dedicated, special education teacher, who would love nothing more than to take care of your pet’s needs in the evenings and on the weekends during the school year. During the summer, I am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings to care for your fur babies. We currently have four indoor only cats, who are comfortable with respectful dogs. I am trustworthy, respectful, honest, and always strive to do the right thing. I am someone you can count on to provide care either in your home or mine for your beloved pets.
“Sophia took great care of my pet and home while I was away on a work trip. My pup seemed happy and well taken care of when I got back, and my place was well kept. Thank you, Sophia!”
“We really appreciate the good care from Faith for our pup Theo. She was prompt in responding, always conscientious, and everything went very smoothly while we were out of town.”
“This is our second time having Pauline watch our 2 year old Lab and 2 year old cat. Pauline did a great job watching them for a week and was so helpful when we needed to extend our stay last minute. She is by far my favourite pet sitter I have ever had. We plan to keep booking Pauline for future trips. Would highly recommend!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Elizabeth. Our dogs, Izzy and Stormie, were so well cared for, and we came home to happy pups and a spotless house. Everything was clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. Thank you for taking such great care of our dogs and our home. We highly recommend you and will definitely book with you again!”
About: Retired police/military K9 handler who has spent a significant time in his professional career enforcing animal cruelty laws. Wide range of experience with all types of dogs and cats. I currently work a full-time job enforcing animal cruelty laws. Nearing retirement in July of 2027 I am available in early morning hours as well as evenings Monday thru Friday and anytime on weekends and holiday's. It is important to know your animals. They tell us when they are happy, sad and ill. Paying attention to the signs they give you is vital to a safe environment. Constant communication between the owner and myself is a pivotal step to ensuring these signs are not overlooked.
“Jennah did a great job with my separation anxiety ridden Pom. She gave him the attention he needed and tried everything to keep them calm for the day while I was out. She also kept me updated, which helped. I would use her again for sure.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Moodus is $41 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $89 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Moodus 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 Moodus 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 Moodus 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Moodus. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
