“I really appreciated the love and care annd playtime Angela gave my cat, Raz, while I went on vacation. Angela kept me up to date with a daily log and pictures during her visit. With Angela your pet will be in good hands! I highly recommend her!!!”
“Samantha was great! We were out all day and needed someone to drop by, feed our Milo, and take him for a walk! We will definitely be reaching out to her for future walks and visits!”
“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!”
About: I have been volunteering in a local animal shelter for about 6 months and after graduating from the University of Pittsburgh I am looking to commit more time to helping out the people and pets in my community! In the shelter I helped admitted lost animals and I have experience walking and taking dogs out for field trips. During field trips I would walk dogs through frick park, relax on my porch, and take them to get a pup cup! I loved being able to help out the dogs and give them the love they deserve! I have passed the Fear Free shelter program and have experience with dog walking as well as caring for my family’s own cat and dog. I am excited to start this new journey! I currently work from home 9-5 in the Oakland area. I’m an active adult who already likes to walk throughout my day and would love to add a dog friend to that! I would have time at lunch, as well as before or after work to care for your dog. My lunch is flexible so I can work around you! On weekends I have open availability. In the middle of work days I would not be able to provide more than 30 minutes walking or spending time with your dog, but before/after week days and during weekends I could spent up to and hour with your dog to give them extra love! In my client’s home I would care for the pet just as you would! I would ask for and follow your instructions on how you would like your pet cared for and would of course give him or her lots of love!
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've spent my life caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's unique needs. I grew up with a pitbull who was very territorial and not friendly with strangers, so I’ve learned to understand warning signs and am comfortable with caring for dogs with behavioral issues. Today, I care for a lively household that includes an extremely energetic French Bulldog, a gentle and timid German Shepherd mix (very very large dog), a Maine Coon cat, a chinchilla, and 11 chickens. I have taken care of older dogs that needed physical support during walks, as well as dogs with medicine schedules. I am comfortable with manually putting medicine into a dog’s mouth if necessary for their routine. I have also cared for corn snakes, ball pythons and axolotls. My experience with such a wide range of critters has made me confident in caring for pets of any size, personality, and needs. I am currently on summer break from college, so my schedule is entirely flexible from Sunday-Friday. I work a part-time job on Saturdays so that is the only day I am unavailable. I can adhere to strict schedules, and I am very attentive to feeding/walking/medicine routines. I will give your pet lots of attention and as much playtime as they need (even if that means hours of high-energy play). On walks, I am used to dogs that roam somewhat freely (on a leash), but I also grew up walking a dog that I had to keep away from all people and animals, so I am able to accommodate your dog during walks in any way necessary. No matter what, you can rest assured that your pet will be loved and cared for.
“We are so happy to have found Marina close by and able to look out for Chloe! Everything was great and she was very attentive to detail. Surely we’ll do this again.”
About: I have five years of pet care experience! I’ve taken care of many dogs ranging from puppies to older dogs. I am experienced with multiple night stays, and I am available for different types of services including drop-ins, walks, and daytime care! I am a college student currently working part-time. I have a very flexible schedule and hours. I can easily make time for your dog’s needs! I am around to keep your dog the company it needs! I am extremely loving, and I absolutely love to spend time with all types of dogs!
“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!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my pet for a few days knowing that Heather would be checking in on him. She shared a daily update and prior to our trip she stopped in to meet our pet and make sure she knew exactly how to best take care of him.”
“Amazing sitter! Vasiliki kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away! Our kitty was clearly well cared for and loved. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
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.
About: I have lots of experience working with all different types of cats both in a home and shelter environment so I'm very good at reading their body language. I have volunteered with Stray Cat Blues animal rescue for arounf 4 years and have owned cats most of my life. I also have experience with medium and large dogs, having had them as pets. I am comfortable giving oral medications to both cats and dogs and would be willing to learn how to provide injectable medications as well. I'm currently on summer break from college so my schedule is pretty open. I will be taking a hybrid-online and in person course starting at the end of May and ending early July so I will not be free Wednesdays or any other day I may have a test. As I am not incredibly strong I would only be comfortable taking dogs 50 pounds or less on walks unless they are very well trained on the leash. I also would only allow pets out off leash in a fenced yard with their owners ok. As I am a pet owner of both cats and dogs I am familiar with common toxins, both in food and nature to avoid.
“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 new to Rover. Ask me about my specials/Discounts for new clients! Hi, my name is Kristina! I know leaving your pet home alone can be a very stressful time for you and your pet. Knowing your pet is in good hands while you're away is important to ease your mind and ensure your pets health and safety. Here is a little background information regarding my experience in the pet care industry to help reduce the stress of leaving your pet. As a child I was raised with a household of pets from dogs to cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles and fish and more! I am currently a dog mom to a Chihuahua/Miniature Pinscher Mix name Charlotte who has a history of separation anxiety. Outside of my personal household, I have over 15 years' experience as a private pet sitter for dogs and cats as well as a dog walker. I have over 5 years' experience in a dog and cat boarding and training facility. I have experience with horses as a rider, farm hand and lead (line) trainer. I have worked with elderly, animals with medical needs and blind and deaf animals. I am a Pediatric Nurse and looking to supplement my income. I may have minimal availability for early morning and late nights. Please ask if you have any questions about my availability. I am available for drop ins and walks. I am available for early mornings (as early as 0500) or after hours. If you do not see availability for certain dates, please reach out to me with special requests. I am currently working as a nurse and frequently have availability during the week and some weekends. Leaving your pet can be stressful! I have experience with separation anxiety and will do my best to accommodate your pets needs while you are away. If your pet needs extra treats, has a favorite TV show or music they like, let me know! I will care for your pet like they are my own. I offer walks, drop ins, playtime and scratches and more! Anything your pet needs! You will receive a photo of your pet during this time!

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!
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!
Amy is an absolute gem of a cat sitter! We have three boy cats who can be a handful, and she handled everything with ease and care — including administering medications, which we know isn't always the easiest task! We came home to three happy, relaxed cats, which says everything about the kind of attentive, loving care she provides. It's so hard to leave your fur babies, but Amy gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She clearly has a natural way with animals, and our boys took to her right away. We will absolutely be booking her again and couldn't recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in New Britain on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 9,908 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.
