About: I've had dogs for the last 15 years. Oreo, my most recent fur baby, just went over the rainbow bridge a year ago. He was a rescue and had behavioral problems and anxiety but with daily medication and a lot of love he really overcame his issues. Because of that experience I'm comfortable administering meds if needed. I work in a school so once school is out I have more flexibility in my schedule. I can provide walks or snuggles as needed I cannot provide services in my own home at this time but will gladly play and walk your dog at your home when you need it.

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!

About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I have dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or just a calm companion, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with energetic dogs, strong breeds, and dogs with unique needs or routines. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and will always follow your care instructions carefully. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to make your pet feel happy, cared for, and stress-free while giving you peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I work Monday-Thursdays at my full time job but work around it to care for your pets! I’m off on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for more attentive care but also can do pop ins and walks during the week as well depending on distance. I have three dogs and a cat in my own home. They are all very friendly but can be separated from your pet if needed! I have a fenced in yard as well and extra crates. Whether your animals come to my house or I come to yours they will be cared for like they’re my own. I’m very picky with who I let take care of my own dogs and I understand that every dog has different needs that should be upheld.

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.

About: I have owned dogs my entire life, both big and small. I currently have 2 dogs of my own, Twig and Bugs and I foster puppies for a local rescue. I love all dogs! I work as a nurse in the NICU and typically work 36 hours a week night shift. I usually have an entire week off every third week. My schedule is pretty flexible and I am willing to do what I can to work around your needs! I would love to take your dogs for a walk or let them out in your yard. I would even bring them to the park to let them run around as much as possible. I’m not a huge fan of dog parks because they can be unpredictable, but I will do whatever works best for you and your pup!

Maya did a fantastic job with our anxious dog and hoard of cats. I was worried about leaving them home for a week but Maya kept me updated and took lots of pictures. By the end of the week all the cats came out to say hi to her, which is a ringing endorsement. We'll definitely hire Maya again.

About: I have experience using rover as a dog mom as i have four dogs myself and have needed some help along the way! I care for all animals as if they are my own. I know how scary it can be to trust others with my fur babies! I have cared for puppies from 8 weeks up to 18 year old seniors. Rest assured if you book with me your fur baby will be in good hands. I’m currently working from home with control over my schedule so I am pretty flexible as long as I do not have appointments scheduled during requested times. Along with interference taking care of my own pets. I am currently not offering care at my own home as I have animals of my own, but I am available for care in your home which I think makes the animals feel more comfortable anyways! I love being outside and going for walks so whether you’re in the city or suburbs we will enjoy long walks together and help get that pent up energy out.

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!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - New Britain

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in New Britain on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,553 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across New Britain. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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.
