About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and have had both dogs and cats throughout my life. I’ve always had a love for animals and I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away. While stationed in Germany, I regularly cared for the pets of military spouses and families. This gave me experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages and personalities! I also have experience caring for pets with specific needs, including dogs and cats that require medication. I’m very comfortable following detailed instructions from owners and making sure medications, routines, feeding schedules, and other care needs are handled properly. Most importantly, I know every pet is different & I always take the time to make sure they’re comfortable, while also giving them the same love, attention, and dependable care I would want for my own pets. I’m happy to work with you to schedule visits, walks, or other care based on what works best for you and your pet! I know consistency is important, so I always do my best to keep schedules as familiar and comfortable as possible while your pet is in my care. I want every pet I care for to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like I would my own. I’m mindful about things like keeping doors secure, staying on top of feeding and medication schedules, and making sure they get plenty of attention. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates along the way so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands.

About: Hi. I'm Jim. I don't any "professional" animal care persay. I have not worked for a company that provides care for animals. But I did do business myself from the time I was 10 until I was 17. I did everything from, house visits to simple taking dogs to the park, to staying at my house. I. LOOOOOOOVE animals! Unfortunately, our dog had to be put down fairly unexpectedly :(, so we just have cats now. Being around any animals is always great! :) And this will definitely give me that chance! I really don't care about the size or breed of the animal, I will take it and love it no matter what! :) We've had 5 dogs and 6 cats in my life. So I know how to take care of and love them.

“I’m highly impressed with Aaron. He takes dog walking to another level! Very professional and transparent. Not only does he take the dogs for a walk, but he clocks his departure and arrival and includes a map of where he went. He leaves a real nice summary that paints a picture of the dog’s outing. My 2 dogs are having a lot of fun with him. My German Shepherd dog took right to him, sensing that Aaron was a true dog lover, especially lover of German Shepherd dogs 😁. In addition to loving dogs and giving them a great time, he has that extra sense of knowing how to care for them. He let me know he wiped the salt from my dogs’’ paws upon his return from a walk in the snow. I’m feeling blessed to have found him.”

About: I lived with and took care of two dogs for two years with a partner. Both were Bernedoodles; one was an adult and the other was a 9-weeks old puppy when we first got him. In addition, I have fostered a kitten with my sister for 4 months. Some traits I have that make me suitable for pet care are that I am reliable, punctual, and can follow instructions well. I am an orchestral violinist and Oxford academic, so my schedule is flexible and varies week to week. I am typically available for dog walking in the mornings and afternoons, 7 days a week. I offer dog walking services where I travel to the dog's home and walk the dog in their neighborhood, respecting the dog's autonomy by letting them lead the way and choose the route, within safe boundaries.

About: I've owned dogs and cats since I was ten. I currently have three dogs (one of whom is a senior dog) and two cats. I love walking any dogs and playing in the backyard with them. I've been a volunteer at Last Chance Ranch in Quakertown for the past two years, during which I work with dogs who are happy and wiggly and those who are hesitant, sick or scared. I'm also a mom of two students, an honor student entering college and an honor athlete entering her junior year (so I know how to raise kids too!! :-) ) I look forward to taking care of your babies like I take care of my own. I'm a high school teacher, who can be free to come to your house as of 3pm for walks or to take care of your babies. I am available most weekends. I will follow any requests of the owners, but definitely enjoy a good walk with puppies (all dogs are puppies in my world). Cuddles and talks with your animal are essential to helping them feel safe while mom and dad are away. Your babies and home will be in good hands with me.

“Sarah did an amazing job watching our cat Ghost. She fed him, gave him meds, changed his litter, and changed his water twice a day. Also, gave plenty of pets and some brushing. We were also given updates on his eating and litter box habits and got plenty of photos. His area was nice and clean and he was a happy boy when we got home. Would 100% recommend!”

About: Love working with dogs for over 20 years. Have trained puppies and some older adult dogs. Our large fenced in yard is great for dogs who enjoy the outdoors. I work from home over the past 10 years spending my days with my pups. I do take walks around the block with my babies but they always prefer the yard. I have a fenced in yard and friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog if preferred. Can also work on training if needed.

About: I had a dog and a hamster growing up and I loved taking care of them! Animals have always brought me so much joy. I would love to help you out by caring for your furry friend! I’m currently in Physician Assistant school and I thought there would be no better way to make some extra money than watching dogs! As a graduate student in the area, I have time in between classes to help take care of your pet! I have experience taking care of dogs as I have one myself! I am perfectly comfortable around animals and know how to keep them happy.

About: i’ve been around dogs my whole life, and have experience, caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering, basic medication’s, or providing companionship, I understand the importance of making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away.

My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your dog is getting plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while in my care. As a student, I am not working a full-time job and I manage my time carefully and have availability throughout the week to provide dependable pet care. My daily routine involves going on walks during the week anyway. spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so dog walks and pet visits fit naturally into my routine. I make sure to schedule my responsibilities in a way that allows me to give petty attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I currently have one dog right now named Gracie! Caring for her includes feeding, walking, playtime, and just making sure she receives plenty of attention and affection. when caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the pets established routine and follow all instructions provided by the owner. I maintain feeding, walking, and medication schedules, keep the home, clean and secure, and provide updates so owners know their pets are doing well.

About: Growing up in a big dog- and cat-loving home, my affinity for animals was realized at an early age. I’ve been the go-to person amongst family and friends for pet care since I was a kid. I’ve dabbled in this passion on the side my whole life, but am now pursuing it full tilt and hope to build a career in conservational zoology. In 2020, pet care grew outside of my inner circle of friends and family, and I gained clientele I still work for to this day. While in Hawaii from August 2024 to February 2026, I dog-sat for five families on top of my day job, regularly tending to their pets every week (and some every day). This included walks and meals, house calls, trips to the beach, hikes, daily visits to the local dog parks, bathing and brushing, extended stays at my home while owners traveled, and coordinating play dates with other pet-sitters. I’ve handled animals of all sizes and temperaments, administered medication, and adhered to the specific needs of the families in my care. My focus is on the comfort, stimulation, and enrichment of your pet! I am reliable and flexible, and find genuine joy in this line of work. This is how I would prefer to spend my time! My Pets: My 120lb Saint Bernard/Bernese, Hobie, was my dutiful companion in pet care, living up to his “nanny dog” personality. In July 2025, he sadly passed at the young age of 2 due to congenital kidney failure, but his short life was full to the brim of adventures with furry friends! He was equally as loving as he was loved. My world completely revolved around him while I had him. Thistle and Pants are my two cats. Thistle is a 7 year old domestic long hair, and I’ve had her since she was 6 months old. She has very much been a partner in my pet care as well, having grown up with big dogs and preferring their company over other cats. She gives off that annoyed older sister vibe, but always wants to be near the other animals and people. Pants is a 5 month old Maine Coon kitten, and he makes himself right at home in any space he occupies. He’s adventurous and outspoken, and keeps Thistle moving (and slightly irritated) throughout the day. He’s proving to be too clever for his own good! I will be adding a new dog to the family in several months, and will undergo training with a focus on companionship and socialization. I can’t wait to have another partner in pet care! Letters of Recommendation are available upon request. Thank you so much for reading, I hope to work with you soon! Rachel I’m currently available all day Tuesday through Saturday! I’m an early riser, accustomed to starting my days around 5am. I’m quick to respond and very flexible. I will adhere to YOUR preferred form of care. I love going on drives, walks, and hikes and have a roomy CR-V perfect for transporting furry friends! I like arranging play dates with social pets, or spending one-on-one time for those that prefer to be solo. My apartment in Dublin has a spacious yard with a tall fence and tree shade, and I’m happy to take your pet to their known stomping grounds or on new adventures. I live about ten minutes away from Peace Valley Park, and twenty minutes from Nockamixon State Park. I will tend to a routine that is best for your pet, whether it involve a lot of free roaming and outdoor time, or adhering to crate-training preferences. I’m an advocate for leisurely “sniff walks”, and will ensure your pet gets the stimulation they need. This isn’t a turn-and-burn rush job for me, I’m here to provide what is most enriching for your pet.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have a lot of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities!! At home I’ve got a sweet tabby cat, a very energetic 90 lb Labrador, and two small but loud and cuddly Chiweenies🤣🤣so I’m used to everything from high energy dogs to relaxed cats, and both big and small breeds. I’m patient, attentive, and really treat every pet like they’re my own. I genuinely love being around animals and caring for them is something I take seriously and enjoy a lot. I also have experience with special needs pets and am comfortable administering medication if needed. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, gentle senior care, help staying on a routine, or just a reliable and loving presence, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.👍🥰 I just graduated college and I’m really looking forward to taking things a little slower right now. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so it fits perfectly into my life right now. I’d love the chance to spend my time taking care of and keeping company with your pets while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which leaves me with a lot of flexibility and open availability. I’m available for overnight pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. I’m also happy to house sit and help with small things like taking out the trash, bringing in mail, and keeping things tidy while you’re gone. I’m reliable, calm, and easygoing, and I really do enjoy being around animals, it doesn’t feel like a job to me so much as something I like to do:) I am very cautious, patient, and detail-oriented when caring for pets. I always follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I treat every home with respect, keep doors secured, monitor pets carefully, and do my best to provide a clean, calm environment where they can relax and feel completely at ease.

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.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - New Britain

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in New Britain is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 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 October 2026, there are 9,179 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

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 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.

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:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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.
