About: I have had pets my whole life. I have had cats most of my life, I love them. I have walked and pet sat for many dogs before. I helped out neighbors and family friends. I am free most days of the week. If I am busy during the day I have an appointment, but I’m usually not doing anything. I cannot work weekends as I am usually busy. I live in a small studio apartment in Doylestown, with my girlfriend and two cats. It is a tight space, but we are comfortable and definitely happy.
“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 had a dog as a child. I have had dogs for over 35 years. They are great company and a great addition to any family. I am retired. My time would be totally devoted to spending time with your pet(s). I look forward to giving you the comfort that your pets are well-cared for while you are not home. My pets at home are pretty spoiled. They are not crated and we play inside and outside. Whatever the owners require is what I will do. Unfortunately, my most recent dog died of cancer. I miss her; but look forward to taking good care of other people’s pets.
“Once again, Delaney rocks with walking and sitting with our Bailey boy and Dabby cat. Don’t know how I’d get by without her! TYSM, Delaney! (If you’re reading this and deciding, contact her now! On second thought, we might need her… She’s great!!)”
“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!”

About: I’ve been a huge animal lover and taken care of animals since I was about 14 years old. I have fed, walked, and spend time playing with dogs and cats of all ages. I’m very comfortable around dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I always make sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I work from 7am to 5 pm monday-thursday every week, but I’m available most evenings and have open availability from Friday through Sunday. This allows me to spend quality time walking, playing with, and caring for pets. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space indoors and outdoors for animals to roam freely. I treat every pet like my own by providing a safe, calm environment and making sure they feel comfortable, well cared for, and loved while their owner is away.
“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!”
“Meghan was amazing! Reliable, caring, and very attentive. She made sure everything was taken care of and gave our cats great company while we were away. We came home to happy cats and a clean space. Highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have always had multiple dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve dog sat and house sat for multiple families, handling everything from daily walks and feeding schedules to overnight care and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’ve also worked closely with a professional dog trainer, which has given me a strong understanding of dog behavior, structure, and how to handle different temperaments. Including high-energy dogs and those that need a little extra patience and attention. I’m experienced with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I’m comfortable with things like basic training reinforcement, administering medications if needed, and adjusting care based on each dog’s individual needs. In addition to pet care, I’m extremely responsible, respectful of your home, and detail-oriented. I have experience in house management as well, so I’m happy to help keep your home tidy, bring in mail, water plants, and make sure everything is in order while you’re away. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved, while giving you complete peace of mind. I currently have very open availability and can be flexible to meet your pet’s needs! I’m available 24/7 for bookings through May 11th, which allows me to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day and night. Starting May 11th, I will be working part-time, but I will still have strong availability for pet care and house sitting, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m committed to maintaining your pet’s routine and making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping your pet comfortable by maintaining their normal routine and environment. I’m experienced with overnight stays and house sitting, and I make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable with crating if needed, administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and adjusting to each dog’s individual needs. I provide regular walks, playtime, and can take dogs to nearby parks. I’m also attentive to behavior and energy levels to make sure your pet is both happy and comfortable. I’m very respectful of your home and treat it with the same care and attention I would my own. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to help with additional tasks around the house. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always feel confident that your pet is happy and in good hands!
“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.”
“This was the first time we used Christina, but it will most certainly not be the last. She paid such incredible attention to our two cats— and did everything we asked of her and then some. She took excellent care of them, offered to take packages in off the porch, she even offered to bring our garbage cans in! :-) Christina is outstanding and we can’t recommend her highly enough. THANK YOU!”
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.
“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 couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. From the moment I left, I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such caring hands. Roxxie genuinely connected with her and treated her with the same love and attention I would. She kept me updated and went above and beyond. I highly recommend Roxxie to anyone looking for truly compassionate and reliable pet care.”
About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals, I provide loving, reliable, and attentive pet sitting services. I’ve worked with pets of all ages and temperaments, including seniors and those with special needs, ensuring they feel safe and happy while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I prioritize morning walks, midday check-ins, and evening playtime, ensuring pets receive consistent attention and affection. Weekends often include longer outings or special enrichment activities, making sure each pet feels loved and engaged throughout the week. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and routine care. In clients’ homes, I follow their specific instructions closely—maintaining feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, and keeping pets comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel secure and loved.

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.
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 ;)

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.

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.

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.
