“Ceinwein did a great job and was available with short notice. Very reliable and experienced with dealing with an elderly dog and giving medication. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Elizabeth was great with my cat, Lawrence! I was flexible with the timing of her drop-in visits, and she was very communicative with exactly when she would be here. She sent lots of photos and spent plenty of time with Lawrence. I would definitely hire Elizabeth again!”
“Katie was excellent! She was professional and most importantly our pets seemed happy and healthy under her care. We loved receiving the photos and updates; really put our minds at ease so we could enjoy a weekend away.”
“Janice was wonderful! She is very caring, attentive, and responsible. Our pet was in safe hands, and we felt at ease during our entire time away. She was always in touch and sent updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We will definitely book her again and highly recommend her to others!”
“Jiayao was great with my Saint Bernard and two cats. Always on time with her visits and she made connections with each of them and took extra good care of them! I definitely recommend her!”
About: Hi I’m Kenzie! 🐾 I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I genuinely love getting to know each pets unique personality and routine. I’m responsible, attentive, and always want your pet to feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away! I have a part-time job most days from 4:00–7:00 PM, but I’m available before and after those hours and have a flexible schedule overall. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and will always communicate clearly about my availability. Whether your pet needs morning walks, midday check-ins, evening care, or overnight stays, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. I primarily provide care in my clients homes because I know pets are happiest and most comfortable in a familiar environment. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other instructions you provide.
“Delaney was amazing! Even came prior to our scheduled drop-ins to do a meet and greet. Took great care of our babies and was very respectful of our home. Will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you Delaney!”
“This was my first time booking with Rover and I am so happy I gave it a try. Sandra was awesome! She was responsive and was interested in making sure she had as much information as possible to ensure our two dogs had the best care. Our one dog is a little more hesitant of new people. But, Sandra, was able to make her feel comfortable and even get her to play. Sandra sent us pictures and updates each time she visited which helped us feel confident our furry babies were well taken care of. She was the perfect person for our dogs because her love for animals shows in her care of them. We will absolutely use her again!”
About: I have been caring for my own, friends, families, and now client's pets for the last 16 years. I have always loved animals and caring for them. I have a senior cat and am used to meeting his specific needs. Don't worry, I am very familiar with dog care as well. I regularly care for other's dogs and grew up helping my parents care for our dogs. I work from home aside from 1 day during the week and have a flexible schedule. I'm typically able to care for pets in the mornings and evenings. I am able to do overnights as well because of this flexibility. I care for my own pets daily. If any pets are staying in my home overnight I do need assurance they are cat friendly as I have two and their safety and the safety of your animals is paramount! I am able to do overnights or drop in services as needed as well.
About: I’ve had the incredible privilege of caring for my own dog, Miles, for almost 18 years. Over those years, he became so much more than a pet—he was truly a member of my family. Caring for him throughout every stage of his life taught me the importance of patience, love, consistency, and paying attention to the little things that make a pet feel safe and comfortable. I’ve also cared for my sister’s dog when she needed a sitter. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet while you’re away. I will treat every pet in my care with the same love, attention, and respect I would want for my own. While I’m newer to pet sitting professionally, I bring nearly 18 years of hands-on experience, a genuine love for animals, and a commitment to making every pet feel happy, safe, and loved while they’re in my care. I am currently available on weekends and evenings. I am also usually free on Fridays. I could do morning visits before I go to work if needed. I have a fenced in yard at my home. I recently had to put my 18 year old dog down and the home has been very quiet and lonely. I would love to have the company of your dog. I have dog beds, bowls, leashes and treats but feel free to provide your own! I also live in a large neighborhood where I could take your pet on many walks.
“Tricia was fantastic! She took exceptional care of our fur babies while we were out of town. She administered medicine for our elderly German Shepherd and is great with pets that require special care. We are really grateful to have someone dependable, like Tricia, to watch them. We will definitely be repeat customers.”
About: I am new to Rover. Ask me about my specials/Discounts for new clients! My Calendar is confirmed through the end of September and my availability from October on is currently tentative. Hi, my name is Kristina! I know leaving your pet home alone can be a very stressful time for you and your pet. Knowing your pet is in good hands while you're away is important to ease your mind and ensure your pets health and safety. Here is a little background information regarding my experience in the pet care industry to help reduce the stress of leaving your pet. As a child I was raised with a household of pets from dogs to cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles and fish and more! I am currently a dog mom to a Chihuahua/Miniature Pinscher Mix name Charlotte who has a history of separation anxiety. Outside of my personal household, I have over 15 years' experience as a private pet sitter for dogs and cats as well as a dog walker. I have over 5 years' experience in a dog and cat boarding and training facility. I have experience with horses as a rider, farm hand and lead (line) trainer. I have worked with elderly, animals with medical needs and blind and deaf animals. I am a Pediatric Nurse and looking to supplement my income. I may have minimal availability for early morning and late nights. Please ask if you have any questions about my availability. I am available for drop ins and walks. I am available for early mornings (as early as 0500) or after hours. If you do not see availability for certain dates, please reach out to me with special requests. I am currently working as a nurse and frequently have availability during the week and some weekends. Leaving your pet can be stressful! I have experience with separation anxiety and will do my best to accommodate your pets needs while you are away. If your pet needs extra treats, has a favorite TV show or music they like, let me know! I will care for your pet like they are my own. I offer walks, drop ins, playtime and scratches and more! Anything your pet needs! You will receive a photo of your pet during this time!
“Christina was amazing with our husky lab! She gave him all of the attention, followed directions to a tee, and was very mindful of the questions she asked to make sure she was prepared to watch him. He also requires medication and she didn’t skip a beat with delivering it. Don’t hesitate to book her - she’s the best!”
“Meghan was a great cat-sitter! I couldn’t recommend her more — she provided me with various updates each time and made sure Jasper was well taken care of. I felt relaxed knowing he was in good hands while I was away. Thank you Meghan!!! 🐱💓”
“Amy is absolutely incredible! She is very flexible and hard working, always sends the cutest photos. Her positive, friendly demeanor made me instantly feel comfortable leaving my kitty with her. Best rover sitter I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to book her again! 🐈⬛💕”
“Thank you, Kristin! Everything was done as requested. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing our cat was well taken care of. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again.”

Angela was amazing . Always keeping us informed about her visit with Lacey . Would highly recommend Angela for any pet service . This is the second time we have used her and will continue to do so for our pets needs . Oh and Lacey { our senior Golden Retriever} just loves Angela
We needed a dog sitter at the last minute, and Elizabeth responded right away and was more than happy to help. Our dog is very anxious and had recently gotten stitches, so he was a little shy, but she was patient and caring with him. She kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us great peace of mind. Elizabeth was reliable, communicative, and we truly appreciated her help.
Ian is an exceptional pet provider and gives our male dog the most care and attention during our services with walking, companionship and care while we are away from our home. Ian is punctual, and consistent with services provided each week. I have not had to use another dog sitter in over 2 years thanks to Ian ;)

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.

- 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.
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.
