About: Hi! I’m Kari, a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to two Australian Shepherds. 🐾 I’ve grown up around dogs and have always had a natural love for animals, so caring for pets is something that genuinely brings me joy. I’m active, dependable, and attentive, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some playtime, companionship while you’re away, or simply a little extra love and attention, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also very comfortable with high-energy dogs and enjoy keeping active pups entertained and exercised! As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can completely trust with your furry family members. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away and make sure your pets get plenty of love, attention, and care. I’ll treat your pets the same way I’d want someone to treat mine. ❤️ I work part-time so I can offer plenty of playtime to your furry friends! Overnights - available Friday-Sunday Any other service - any time Sat, Sun & Monday or after 3pm Tuesday-Friday. I will do whatever you prefer to ensure your cat/dog is safe & comfortable. I can crate them if necessary or secure them in a specific location in the house as well.
About: I have had both cats and dogs and love giving them attention and the time they need outside. Being able to give them the energy release they need is my job and the extra cuddles and treats are just a bonus! I currently am a college student and have long breaks where I love to spend time walking and sitting dogs whenever I can. I am free on most holidays and during the summer since I live so close to home. I keep a close eye on pets when I dog sit and love to spend all my time with them whether it's on the couch getting extra pets or going outside or the backyard to play.
“Elizabeth watched our four cats over the holidays and was a great sitter! From the beginning she was super communicative and worked with our schedule. She was great with them from our needy lap cat to our scaredy cat who hid all the time. It was a great relief to know we had a reliable sitter for when we were out of the country to check in on our cats. We would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her as a sitter again.”
“Danielle has taken care of our cats several times now, and she's proven to be reliable, communicative, and dedicated to making sure they're safe and well in a wide range of the weird situations life throws at us! We highly recommend her, and trust her judgement.”
“Nora does an excellent job with our dogs! She is prompt, follows our directions and is great with administering meds. Our dogs feel very comfortable around her and her rates are great! Would definitely recommend.”
“Jade has been taking care of my timid puppy, Meli, for a few weeks now and I could not ask for a better pet sitter. She was very patient with getting to know Meli, which is something we were looking for. She even goes the extra mile to buy treats and fun toys for my puppy to play with! I would recommend Jade to anyone looking for someone who is responsive, reliable and caring :)”
“We couldn't be happier with the services from Jennifer & Michele! They've been so great to work with and always take care of everything we need/request during our pets visit! Would absolutely recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m a passionate, reliable pet caregiver who treats every animal like family. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, fun playtime, or attentive care while you're away, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I strictly follow your pet's preferred routine, send prompt photo updates, and make sure they get plenty of affection so you have complete peace of mind. I look forward to giving your furry friends the loving care they deserve! I have lots of time on weekdays and specially weekends. I love to spend time with the fur friends so I always make it work with the plans. When caring for pets in a client’s home, the main goal is keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy in their own familiar surroundings. Each visit involves feeding meals on schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes or picking up after dogs, and ensuring secure surroundings. Depending on the animal, time is spent going on walks, playing with favorite toys, offering gentle affection, or simply providing quiet companionship to prevent separation anxiety. Daily photo updates and brief summaries are provided after every visit so owners have full peace of mind while away.
About: Hi, I'm thrilled to help care for your furry family members! With 3 years of professional kennel and daycare experience, I bring a high level of responsibility and expertise to every visit. Whether your dog needs a brisk mid-day walk to burn off energy, or a thorough drop-in visit complete with a exact feeding routine and medication, I've got you covered. I'm comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, ensuring your dog feels safe and respected. I work part time sunday monday and tuesday at Fedex so wednesday thursday and friday would fill out the rest of my week hanging out with pets! I love playing with dogs and giving them the attention needed. I can feed them, I’m capable of following instructions, including medical instructions. I don’t have any experience poking pets with needles for medicine, but I can do pills and topical sprays and other things like that!
“This was our first time booking with M and they were awesome to work with! They are super friendly, great with communication, and took excellent care of our cats. Would definitely recommend M to watch your pets!”

“Our usual Rover sitter wasn't available. So we went with Angela D. who is new to Rover as a sitter. She lived nearby so we gave her a try. Angela turned out to be awesome for our feral cat I rescued. He took to her almost immediately. She did all we asked plus more and we returned home to a happy cat. I highly recommend her.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New Britain
What would we do without lovely Jocelyn to care for our pups as if they were her own? She loves animals and is always kind and warm and professional in her work. It is clear that she is a natural with animals and our dogs love her. She always sends us updates and lets us know know how it is going, one they are outside paying and when they've eaten and are down for the night and up in the morning. She is a treasure!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a New Britain stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 New Britain 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 New Britain 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 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.
