About: Hey! As someone who grew up with large dogs in the home, I am more than comfortable taking care of your furry friends. In addition to care, I also have some experience in training, including the work I did raising my Belgian Malinois from a puppy. I am currently a college student taking asynchronous classes online, meaning my schedule is very flexible, and I can be there to care for your pets whenever you need me. I have experience and am capable of walking large dogs on leash, in case your yard isn’t fenced in. For those with enclosed yards, I can spend as much time playing fetch as needed to make your dogs happy.

About: I don’t have my own pet anymore as he passed from old age. I like to take care of other people’s pets when they are on vacation and care for them with as much love as if they were my own. I will stay at your home if needed , schedule potty break services as well. I work at a school so let out before I go to work and right after, evenings and bed time. I will take care of pets in clients home with care plan that fits the pets needs. Give them plenty of attention and care to take away any worries when you are away.

“Angelina did drop in house visits for our cat and dog. She was very responsive and caring for them. The first time we've left our dog home while on vacation, as she tends to get sick after a kennel stay due to nervousness and very shy. Such a relief to come home and have her be happy and not sick. Definitely would recommend and have Angelina to drop in visits again.”

About: I have been caring for neighbor’s, friend’s and family’s pets when needed since I was a teenager 8 years ago. It is one of my favorite ways to give back to the people and pets in my life! I am currently working part time, leaving plenty of time to pet sit both cats, dogs, and bunnies. I also have experience walking friends and family’s dogs and would love to do that for others as well. I regularly feed, provide water, and take my family friend’s pets on walks. I also spend time with their dogs in their back yard playing with them!

About: I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always keep you updated! I’m a college student here in South Carolina who really misses my pets back home, so I’m looking for chances to care for other people’s pets while I’m at school. Spending time with animals — whether walking dogs, feeding cats, or just giving them attention — makes me happy, helps me manage stress, and gives me something meaningful to look forward to outside of my classes. In my home, pets enjoy a safe and relaxed environment. I have a friendly golden retriever who’s trained to stay in the yard, and a bunny who’s free to move around the house as he wishes. I make sure everyone stays comfortable and safe, supervise outdoor time, and always follow your care instructions closely—whether your pet is with me or I’m caring for them in your home.

“Hayley took great care of our cat while we were away. Our cat hides when someone she doesn’t know well comes over, but Haley still did her best to comfort her without causing too much stress and rolled treats to her under the bed. Hayley is great at communicating and gave detailed feedback each day about how much our cat was eating, etc. She is compassionate and reliable. I highly recommend this wonderful, kind sitter.”

About: Hi, I’m Sophia! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I understand that pets aren’t just pets—they’re family. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or sticking to a routine, I make sure every furry friend in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. What makes me different is the balance of professional reliability and genuine care. I provide consistent communication with pet parents, lots of photo updates, and I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs. I’m experienced with puppies/senior dogs/cat, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priority. Whether you need walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your furry friend is cared for with patience, attention, and plenty of love. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home/have a flexible schedule. I’m able to provide frequent walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day, making sure pets never feel lonely. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine closely to make sure everything feels familiar and stress-free. I stick to feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions, while also giving lots of playtime and affection. I always keep the home tidy and send updates with photos so owners feel reassured. When pets stay with me, they’re treated like family. I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and part of my daily routine. That means regular walks, playtime, cuddle breaks, and a cozy space to relax. I keep their routines consistent so they feel right at home.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats, and spent my entire life taking care of them. I have watched many friends and neighbor's pets growing up. I have also volunteered at a dog adoption agency and shadowed a veteranarian. I have experience watching puppies, kittens, and senior dogs. My experience includes bathing, walking, feeding and general care. I love animals and could not think of a better way to spend my time then taking care of pets! I am still asked by friends and loved ones to watch their animals, and I will treat your pets as my own. I work part time for several theatres so I have a flexible schedule and have plenty of free time to take care of pets! I am always free in evenings and on weekends, as well as certain free weeks when I am not needed at work. I am not intending to house any animals, however I will follow any instructions you have on taking care of pets in your home. I will be responsible with the animal and it's surroundings, making sure it is safe and happy.

About: Since I was young, I’ve had a passion for taking care of pets and animals. In my own home, we had 3 cats and 2 dogs, including a Black Labrador and a French Bulldog/Pitbull mix. I’ve also looked after my friends’ and neighbors’ pets, including a senior dog who needed medicine administered and special care. This also includes cats, dogs, birds, and bearded dragons. I truly adore all animals (except mosquitos! lol) and consider it a privilege to care for them. I value honesty, reliability, and quality treatment for both people and animals alike. This is why five star service is guaranteed when you book with me 😊 I currently work in an office Monday through Friday 8 am to 5 pm. I usually keep my nights and weekends free for any bookings. I will care for your pet inside your home by of course being respectful of your space, making sure any unsafe foods or items are out of reach, all gates or fences are closed to ensure they don’t escape, their food/medicine is on time and prepared *EXACTLY* as instructed. I can also promise snuggles, play time, and plenty of attention!

“Jordan was a fantastic sitter who went above and beyond. In the initial meet and greet she asked all the right questions, and during the booking she always kept me up to date with detailed notes about my cat and happy photos. She was very accommodating when I had to extend my trip, and she was on top of things when some of the food ran low during the extended time. My cat is very happy and loves her! Will definitely book again as a trusted sitter.”

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Mystic

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Mystic is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $28 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 770 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Mystic. 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 Mystic 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 .

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.

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 .

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 Mystic with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.

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.
