“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.”
About: I am a HUGE dog lover and I will go out of my way to pet any dog I come across. I currently have a 2.5 year old Golden Retriever with high energy. She is my best friend and I take her to everywhere I go! 🩷 I am a special education teacher in the Central Bucks School District with a flexible summer schedule. I have a lot of patience and understanding especially when it comes to senior dogs or dogs with high anxiety. I would love to be considered as a dog sitter or walker for your furry friend! 🥰 I have a dog myself and I take the time to meet all of her needs. I make sure she gets plenty of outside time so I understand the importance of making sure your dog gets walked or given attention. During the week days I can meet the needs before 7:30am or I can hang out between the hours of 4:00-10:00. Once summer hours arrive- I am much more flexible as I am a teacher in Central Bucks . My dog, Remi is my baby! I always make sure I meet her needs and give her all of the love and attention. I give her plenty of walks and snuggles. She loves following along as I ride my bike around the block. She also loves going to Ocean City with us on our family vacations. Lastly, she loves to be chased around out back or lounge on the porch for a few hours.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs basically my whole life. I worked at a kennel for 3 years and still work at one to this day, and had dogs as pets for years. Since I’ve had dogs my whole life, I know how to care for my pets and your pets! Since I’m working at a kennel, I will update my availability depending on my work schedule. I usually work weekdays from 1:15-6 so I have a lot of free time on my hands. I make sure that the dogs get all of the care in world by making sure they are fed, have fresh and cold water, making sure they are safe, and of course playtimes.
“Each day I had the peace of mind knowing the 3 babies were looked after and safe. Ian took the time to learn their personalities and show them love the way each of the 3 responds best. Was very happy and hope to add a few days each week even without being on vacation!!”
“Meghan provided excellent care to my two kitties. She was very conscious about keeping the food dishes clean and keeping the litter box clean. She spent time with them , giiving some love and comfort. I have reserved Meghan for multiple trips during the next year.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have been lucky to spend my life caring for them in many different ways. I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, and bunnies, so being around animals feels completely natural to me. I currently work at an animal shelter, where I care for pets with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. This experience has taught me how to read animal behavior, stay calm in new situations, and provide patient, compassionate care, especially for pets who may be shy, nervous, or adjusting to a new environment. In addition to shelter work, I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare, gaining hands-on experience with group play, structured routines, and safe supervision. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I tailor my care to what makes them feel most comfortable and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, communication, and trust. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind, and your pet lots of love. :) Pet care fits easily into my routine, as I have a flexible schedule and am available most days between 8:30 AM and 5 PM. I plan my day around pets’ needs to ensure consistent, attentive care. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s needs, preferences, and personality, from feeding schedules and walks to playtime, medication, and cuddle preferences. Because I work at an animal shelter and have experience in a doggy daycare, I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and stress signals. I provide calm, patient care and adjust my approach based on each pet’s energy level and comfort. I make sure pets get appropriate exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection. In a client’s home, I respect the space and keep everything clean and consistent. I also send regular updates and photos so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away. My goal is always to create a positive, low-stress experience and treat every pet as if they were my own.
“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!”
“Amy had been Nittanys walker for maybe 2 years she has been AMAZING! She is thoughtful and kind and is very sweet! I feel so much better knowing Nittany is with Amy, when I have to be away.”
“I could never say enough about Delaney’s sense of responsibility, care for Bailey and Dabby, and her great pet sitting work ethic. Jen and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!”
About: I bring a wide range of hands-on animal care experience that goes far beyond typical pet sitting. I’ve worked with animals of all kinds—from training dogs and caring for cats to handling farm animals like calves and horses. I’m comfortable managing pets with different temperaments, including anxious, reactive, or previously abused animals, and I take pride in helping them feel safe and cared for. I’m highly detail-oriented and quick to learn each pet’s routine, which allows me to notice subtle changes in behavior, health, or mood. I also have experience supporting both young and senior pets, including administering basic care, reinforcing training, and providing extra patience and attention where needed. What really sets me apart is my reliability, strong work ethic, and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like my own and strive to create a calm, safe, and positive environment while you’re away. I currently have open availability and can accommodate a wide range of scheduling needs, including weekdays and weekends. I strive to be flexible and reliable to ensure consistent, high quality care for your pet. Safety, trust, and respect are at the core of the care I provide. I strictly follow all instructions, rules, and boundaries by the owner to ensure their pet’s routine and environment remain consistent and secure. I make it a priority to double-check that all doors are properly closed and lock before leaving your home, giving you a piece of mine while you’re away. I am dependable and punctual, always showing up when expected, and completing every task with care and attention to detail. I also ensure to leave your home, clean and well-maintained. My consistent, compassionate approach, not only build trust with pet owners also helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and at ease in my care.
“Sarafina did a great job caring for my cat, Lawrence! He just needed daily drop-in visits and she sent lots of photos. She stopped by beforehand to make sure she knew exactly what he needed and was friendly and knowledgeable! She did an excellent job with my instructions and gave him plenty of playtime while she stopped in. I highly recommend Sarafina for any of your pets needs!”

About: I have taken care of my own pets since I can remember. As well as helping with a petsitting/dog walking service for the last 10 years.

Angela is a wonderful pet sitter! Why my wife was out of town and I was working, Angela came by for a daytime visit to check on our dog Charlie and our cat Tokyo. We are so pleased with the level of care she provided. She showed genuine warmth and affection for our animals, and he gave me great peace of mind, knowing they were getting so much love during the day. I highly recommend her!
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 ;)

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.

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.

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.
