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.
“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.”
“Elisa is always reliable and so caring towards our two pups. I had a last minute emergency and was so happy that she was able to take care of our boys. She is always great with communication and sends tons of photos. I never have to worry when she is taking care of them.”
“Our first experience with Rover to help with our pups was great and Ian was fantastic. Super responsive, willing to commit to a first timer with little advance notice, and very friendly. Will rebook with him in the future!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Katie was hands down one of the best dog sitters we’ve ever had. We will definitely rebook her, and can not say enough good things about the quality of care she gave our dogs. Thank you, Katie!!!”
“Angela provided such great care for our two cats! Our shy cat even came out for her! She wrote a visit summary for each visit and took lots of pics which gave us reassurance. Would definitely rebook! 😊❤️”
“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!”
About: I have two cane corsos at home I also grew up with pitbulls, cocker spaniels, and Pomeranians. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I am currently a teacher on summer break so I am pretty flexible! I have a cane corso of my own that I walk through town frequently! I do not do at home care. But I am looking forward to doing walks through town with your furry friend! Reach out if interested!
“Marina was so good to my little dachshund! She let him out and fed him for 3 days around lunch. I received updates and cute pictures of my pup during her visit. She made sure to clean up any messes (he sometimes pees with excitement ??♀️) and my house was locked up upon her departure. I would recommend her and will be using her again in the future!”
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!
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!
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.
“Brooke did an amazing job with drop in visits for our 3 poodles. She provided check-ins with photos and notes on how they were doing. I was able to enjoy the wedding and know they were well cared for. We definitely will use Brooke again!”
About: Growing up I’ve always had pets, including dogs of multiple breeds! I love being with and taking care of animals. My family currently has 2 border collies and a bulldog/boxer mix! I’m very good with all kinds of pets:) I am currently completing my clinical rotations in physician assistant school! My weekday schedule allows for some evening availability and my weekends are usually open, especially Sundays! Currently, I am not looking to care for dogs in my own home but I am willing to care for client’s pets on their homes!
“Amy is absolutely incredible! She is very flexible and hard working, always sends the cutest photos. Her positive, friendly demeanor made me instantly feel comfortable leaving my kitty with her. Best rover sitter I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to book her again! 🐈⬛💕”
“Thank you, Kristin! Everything was done as requested. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing our cat was well taken care of. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Britain
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!
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!

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.
