I am currently in between jobs at the moment so I would love to dedicate as much time as possible taking care of your precious pets In clients home I offer endless love and patience I love going on walks and cuddling with pets if they allow haha.

About: Hi! I love dogs and treat them as if they were my children. I grew up with dogs in the household. From having a husky, shih-tzu, and now 2 havanese! I have 17 years of experience and I dogsit my family's pets frequently. I work mostly from home allowing me to have as flexible schedule. I take out my own dogs multiple times throughout the day for potty. I can do daily walks as I try to take my own out as much as possible. I have two friendly dogs- one is very playful and loves meeting other furbabies. I live in a townhouse where there's space to take out the dogs in the yard. Your dog will be in great hands! I work mostly from home, so I have a flexible schedule. This allows me to walk the dogs throughout the day and keep an eye on them. I have two friendly dogs, one loves to play! I can crate if desired. I also have 2 levels in my home where I can separate them if needed.
“Samantha offered excellent care and attention to my little kitty. My cat is not one to snuggle with just anyone. Samantha worked to engage her and to give her the cuddles while I was away. She communicated and offered nice pictures of my little girl. She helped when a last minute issue led to a couple of extra days. Thanks for Great care!”
About: I am a career scientist and an avid animal lover. I have cared for up to 12 pets at a time including dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes, lizards, and fish. I have experience walking, feeding, exercising, overnight stays, and administering medication. I currently have one black cat age 13, and two bunnies ages 10 and 2. My senior rabbit receives daily oral medication and twice daily eye drops. I am also experienced at bunny-proofing spaces to keep spaces safe and undamaged. I am an active individual who enjoys hikes through the woods and practicing yoga. I am currently taking a break from the scientific industry and looking to fill my life with things that bring me joy. I am more than happy to meet with prospective families for an interview. I am currently not working full time and have lots of flexibility in my schedule. I can accommodate same day bookings for walks, check ins, and overnight stays. In my own home, I am strict about keeping gates closed to separate my cat from my bunnies while unsupervised. In clients homes I will take a similar approach, tailored to your needs and layout.
“Hannah is great with our cats! She is communicative, professional and has helped us out even in last minute circumstances. Our two kitties are always excited to see and play with her -- even our more reserved girl. Would highly recommend her for cat sitting!”
About: I have helped watch and care for French Bull Dog liters of 5 to 6 puppies at a time over the past 5 years. I have always owned dogs myself over the last 30 years of various breeds to include Black Lab/chow, Toy Poodle, Mini Schnauzer, Bull Terrier, and present French bull dog. Besides sitting for my daughters 4 dogs, 3 Frenchie's and 1 pocket bully so cute by the way I have watched my friends pets as well. I will feed, walk, play and can dispense medication if necessary. I accept all cuddling as well. I currently work part time from home with a flexible schedule and can be available anytime with notice to watch your loved ones in the comfort of their own home. I feel that caring for your pets in their own environment is easier for them to adjust to their families leaving them for a day, week, or longer. I like to keep them on their regular schedule. I will make sure they eat and get out during the day numerous times for potty breaks. I can administer Meds if necessary. I will definitely give cuddles if they are comfortable with that. With mom and dad’s permission I love to give them their favorite treats. I welcome them to snuggle up at bedtime. I will respect and maintain the home that I am staying in as well as taking in the mail and other reasonable light tasks
“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.”
About: While I have been around animals for as long as I can remember, I am especially partial to dogs. I enjoy working with them, as well as spending my free time with them. As many people say, "if you love what you do than you don'ts work a day in your life." I am currently attending community college and I do it online. This leaves a lot of blank space in my schedule which I am trying to fill by spending time with animals! Currently, I work on a farm daily while also keeping up with college. In addition to that I have a few pet sitting clients, where I walk the dogs and sometimes stay overnight with them if owners are away.

“Midas was awesome and went out of their way to get additional food for my cats when I ran out. Would definitely use them again for my babies. Great sitter!!! 🩷”
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 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.

I also had an old man chihuahua named Finn, and I’ll forever miss him. I feel like I speak dog, I know how to tailor my personality to meet the needs of any dog.

“Courtney was fabulous! I was a nervous dog mommy, leaving our new family pet for the first time. Courtney did a great job of taking care of him, and reassuring me along the way. She regularly texted updates, so I knew he was doing well and getting what he needed while we were gone. She was always quick to respond if I had a question too. I will definitely use her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Britain
Very reliable and loving sitter. Thanks to Kylie, we were able to spend the day visiting our freshman in college and having the peace of mind of three dog kids enjoying attentive company and being taken care of. Got a whole bunch of great pictures and updates. Will surely reach out again next time!
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 Pet Sitting - New Britain
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in New Britain is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $49 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 November 2026, there are 2,588 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across New Britain. 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Britain. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
