“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.”
“Elisa was the best!!! I am so happy I found her to care for our two cats while we were gone. We always hate leaving them, but we knew they were well cared for by Elisa. She sent a detailed review each day & also took the best pictures of them while we were gone. Thank you so much Elisa for providing the best care for our cats. We’ll for sure be contacting Elisa again in the future.”
“Samantha takes wonderful care of our dogs. We know they will always be in good hands. She sends updates and photos and my dogs seem happy when we return. We highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“Katryna was a pleasure to work with. Especially when my dogs were not on their best behavior, she was able to approach the situation with a can do attitude, and did a great job with them.”
“Hannah did a great job caring for our 2 cats. She followed instructions well and is super friendly. Our boys were well cared for. One of our cats has diabetes and needs insulin given subdermally via syringe, along with oral meds, and Hannah did well with administering those. Very reliable, kind sitter. I would highly recommend Hannah!”
“Having Ian as a cat sitter was fantastic! We received thorough notes and photos from each visit, with Ian recognizing the preferences of each cat and engaging with each in a way that best suited them. He went above and beyond and with that, we were able to enjoy our time away knowing our animals were safe and being well cared for.”
“Angela was not only super reliable, but flexible with her schedule and with our pets. Our pets seemed to be so happy with her and with good reason, she treated them as her own. We would highly recommend her as well as utilize her services in the near and distant future!”
“I cannot recommend Katie highly enough as a dog sitter! From our very first interview, she was a breath of kind and positive energy. It was clear that her loving disposition immediately resonated with our dogs, and they took to her right away. Throughout her time with us, everything was handled exceptionally well and in accordance with our instructions. Katie showed great attention to detail and truly cared for our pets as if they were her own. It's always a relief to find someone who shares such a genuine love for dogs. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and enthusiastic to care for your furry friends, Katie is the perfect choice!”
“Heather took such good care of my fur baby Raz While I was away. She always goes above and beyond in caring for him! He definitely loves her and I trust her implicitly.”
About: I’ve cared for multiple dogs, including my own senior dog that had passed.

I’m currently working part-time and I am available Friday through Monday. I am also available during the evening Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s. I have a fenced backyard where they can play, and food/water bowls to help dogs feel comfortable during their stay. Whether I’m caring for dogs in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they have everything they need and receive plenty of attention, care, and are comfortable with me.

“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!!)”
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.
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.
“We contacted Catharine with very short notice to meet and care for our dogs. She was willing to come and help us without hesitation. Our dogs were happy and cared for after each visit. Catharine was very communicable and easy to chat with to square away details. We look forward to using her again in the future.”
“Erin recently took care of my 8 month old goldendoodle. Erin did an excellent job and was very detailed in her follow up. I am happy to have found such a responsible dog lover to take care of my dog. I look forward to using Erin in the future!”
“We reached out to Christina somewhat last minute for a couple drop-in visits with Remy. To accommodate schedules, we did a virtual meet and greet. Remy was able to get outside and play on the deck on a sunny day, which is exactly what I wanted and he needed. Appreciated the pictures and the communication from each visit. Will definitely consider using Christina again.”

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
Katryna kept me very well informed while watching my dog, Kami. She really did her best to work with my very stubborn Husky and I could tell she really cared about the wellbeing of my dog. I would definitely use Katryna again and would highly recommend her to someone else! But not sure if she wants to deal with Kami again😁
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in New Britain on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 9,565 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across New Britain. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Britain. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
