“Adrianna was great! She was able to get my shy kitties out of their shell a bit to say hello. Left very good notes and took lots of pictures. I’ll certainly be using her again.”
About: Ever since i was a kid i went to some of my neighbors dogs to ask to play with them. For many years, me and my family have dogsit many of my moms friends dogs at our house for extended periods of time. Im currently working part time couple days a week at a retirement community and a full time student locally at bucks county community college. I also play baseball for my community college. We have 2-3 hour practices 5 days a week with games. However since im local i can drop by and walk dogs with the free time that i have which during the week is when im not in class or at baseball. I care with them using quality time. I enjoy playing and sitting with them whichever they prefer. I believe i take care of myself well and i want to do the same for the dog.
“Megan is our go-to sitter because she’s reliable and communicative. She takes very good care of our three cats, leaves detailed notes, and sends lots of pictures to reassure us that all are doing well. She also takes in our mail and packages, which is a huge help when we’re away.”
“Elisa has cared for both of our cats and our large dog. She is prompt and always sends pictures. She makes every effort to interact with our pets whenever she comes over. Everything is clean and everyone is well-cared for. Thank you for being here for us, Elisa!”
“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 been a lifelong dog and cat owner and love all animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs and I’m looking forward to getting to know yours! I treat every pet in my car like family and provide a safe calm and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and at home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available to accommodate different routines depending on your pet’s needs. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I take time to learn each pets routine personality, and individual needs so I can provide an environment where they can relax and feel at home.
“Devyn was great- I was certain that Jack was well taken care of! Our cat is not particularly cuddly with new people, but somehow Devyn still managed to snag photos of him. I would recommend her.”
“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.”
About: I've been with and around pets since I was 14. I am a reliable resource to pet, play, feed, and walk neighbors' and friends animals for lots of time. I don't personally have any pets myself, but I often have dogs come stay with us and go visit other people's pets. I'm used to a dog running around and everyday responsibilities of having a pet/ I care for pets in my home or clients' home with the knowledge of what the dog is allowed and not allowed to do, what boundaries the home has, and the animal's safety at the front of my mind at all times.
“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!”
“Christina is very conscientious and neat as a pin. She has a warm personality and it is obvious that she loves animals. I highly recommend her. She is also responsible and mature!”
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!
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.
About: Animals have been a part of my life since I was born. Caring for them is immensely rewarding to me, so much that I don’t consider it work. Friends and family trust me to care for their pets every time they are away, knowing that I will treat them as I do my own dogs, Zeke and Kona. I am a Drexel University student, but I will be off from school until January, so my schedule is open to care for your pets. Your pets' safety and well-being are my top priority, and I'll make sure to follow all instructions and routines to keep them happy and healthy. I am always respectful of my client’s homes.
About: I have a vast history of experience with dogs including puppies, dogs with medical needs, behavioral needs, seniors, and large dogs. I've volunteered at the SPCA as a dog walker. In recent months have fostered a few puppies for several weeks at a time. Fostering included potty training, sleep training, and leash training. Currently working from home two days a week and home most weekends to spend with a pet. I work as a full-time mental health therapist and would be able to tend to dogs in between sessions. My Monday schedule is usually 10am-3pm and my Friday schedule is usually 10am-1pm both from home. Weekends are for the pets! I currently live in a 4 bedroom home in Bucks County with my Mom and Dad. My parents are not typically home during the day and I would always be present with your pet while in my care. Our backyard has a lead with about 30ft to roam. The neighborhood has sidewalks with grass to walk on if too hot and walking distance to several parks.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Britain
So happy we found Ian! We know our pets are in great, and caring, hands with him which allows us to enjoy our time away. His notes are always informative and captures each animals' personality; a relief to know that someone who truly cares is with them when we can't be.
Thank you again for caring for our furry baby. While lime takes a while to warm up to people we know he is always safe and cared for even if it’s on his own terms. We can travel without having to worry as Jeanne is super reliable and keeps in close contact. This is probably the 5th or so time we have used her and will continue to! She is the BEST
Joey did a great job taking care of our kitties and giving them lots of attention while we were in Colorado for a long weekend. He had great communication with us and made sure to take photos and check in with me everytime he stopped by. Would love go have him watch them again in the future!
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.
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!
Emily is a true professional and provided an excellent customer experience for our pups and for us - we had no worries while we were away and the pups immediately connected with Emily and enjoyed her company. We highly recommend Emily for pet care services and appreciate her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet 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 9,527 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
