About: I have been house sitting overnight since I was 14. I have experience working with dogs, cats, mice, and flying squirrels. Believe it or not, I have taken care of dogs who were indoor-trained only.I am also an experienced dog walker- not just with my own dogs but with friends' dogs that I've loved as my own. **serious inquiries only** please do not send me a booking request if you're going to ghost me after I respond or if you plan to book with another sitter. You'd be surprised by how often this happens. I abide by the safety precautions at the homes I stay at (fences, ring cameras, etc). When I stay with indoor cats, I take extra precautions when leaving the house to make sure the cats don't escape.

About: I’ve always dog-sat for family and friends and have plenty of experience caring for dogs. I also worked at a pet resort for two years while in high school, where I cared for and interacted with dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m very comfortable around dogs and understand that each one has its own needs and routine. I’m currently a college student and am looking to provide dog-sitting and pet care, especially over the next few weeks after my internship ends and before I head back to school. I love being around dogs and would be happy to help with dog sitting, walks, drop-in visits, or anything else your pup may need! I’d be happy to help with walks, potty breaks, drop-in visits, and giving your dog some extra love and attention while you’re away! I have a small dog of my own at home, so I’m not able to provide care in my home, but I’m more than happy to come to you and care for your pup in the comfort of their own space.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. I know that every dog is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re in my care. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my schedule, and I’m able to provide care before and after work as well as on weekends. I have a consistent weekday schedule, so I’m able to plan visits and walks around my work hours and make sure I can give each pet the time and attention they need. I’m also available for longer visits and extended care when my schedule allows. I’m reliable and communicative, and I’ll always make sure we agree on a schedule that works well for both you and your pet. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make it a priority to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and always leave everything clean and as I found it. I understand that being away from their owner can be stressful for some pets, so I’m patient and attentive to their individual needs and personalities. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your pet is safe, comfortable, and having a great time while you’re away.

About: I’m pretty much a full-time stay-at-home dog mom to my two large dogs, so caring for dogs is already a huge part of my everyday life! I’ve spent months working on training with my own dogs and have lots of hands-on experience with different behaviors, routines, and personalities. I’m especially comfortable with large breeds, but I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. Your pup will be treated like part of the family while staying with me, with plenty of attention, playtime, love, and access to my fully fenced-in yard. I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with someone new, so I’ll make sure you feel comfortable and keep you updated with plenty of pictures throughout their stay! Pet care is already a huge part of my everyday routine! I’m home most of the day with my own pets and have a very flexible work schedule, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to provide plenty of potty breaks, playtime, attention, meals on their normal schedule, and lots of time outside throughout the day. I have a fully fenced-in yard with plenty of room for dogs to play and two dogs of my own for company. I always prioritize safe introductions and will make sure your dog is comfortable with mine before their stay. Pets are welcome to make themselves at home, and I can easily separate or crate dogs when needed. I’ll follow your pet’s normal feeding, sleeping, medication, and care routine as closely as possible and provide plenty of updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

Tina was absolutely amazing! I had to leave for a few days and she responded so quickly to the request, followed by a meet and greet, and then constant communication throughout the days I was away. She took loving care of my senior kitty (18 years old), which required giving daily medications and cleaning up messes since my elderly baby has trouble with incontinence. Extremely friendly and personable. I highly recommend her to anyone. She put my mind to ease as I was very worried about my girl while away.

About: I always grew up with at least 1 dog. Ray wasn't the friendliest, so I got a quick introduction to being careful with walks and strangers. Kalie was friendlier, but also liked her independence. She was the first dog I was actually able to "train". After I moved out, my parents got Sammie and Thurman, and I've been able to teach them a few tricks when I visit. I am currently off for the summer (teacher) and have almost every weekday completely free. I'm good about scheduling and organizing my time. When school starts back up, availability would change. Safety is my number one priority. I am very aware of body language in animals, and would never force an uncomfortable situation onto a pet. I would go at the animal's pace to make sure it's as pleasant of a visit as possible.

About: Hey! As someone who grew up with large dogs in the home, I am more than comfortable taking care of your furry friends. In addition to care, I also have some experience in training, including the work I did raising my Belgian Malinois from a puppy. I am currently a college student taking asynchronous classes online, meaning my schedule is very flexible, and I can be there to care for your pets whenever you need me. I have experience and am capable of walking large dogs on leash, in case your yard isn’t fenced in. For those with enclosed yards, I can spend as much time playing fetch as needed to make your dogs happy.

It's the first time I have used Danielle services and I am very grateful to her. She kept my little guy safe, happy, healthy and well played out while I was gone. She sent me detailed reports and photos each visit that helped bridge that distance of me being so far away so I worried less about him while I was away. She went out of her way to be sure he was taken care of and could tell he was enjoying her visits and was still that little happy guy when I returned!)

About: I worked at a well-known dog daycare along with their doggy spa for over a year, feeding, medicating, exercising, bathing and more. I have trained my dog to do many things. I also have done a number of dog sitting, watching and walking and am super reliable. I am currently attending school at SUNY Cortland and am home and available everyday, anytime during the months of December until January 26th, March 16-20 and all summer starting May 15th. Summer times may vary depending on other summer jobs, but during these breaks I am fully available to have plenty of time for your pets! I have a big yard in a very secluded are in the woods, a mile from the main road and far up the driveway from the dirt road. I have one friendly pup to keep your furry friend company, she is very social and loves to play! There are many conservation areas around to go for walks or a swim.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - New London

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in New London on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 888 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across New London. 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 London 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 London 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. 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.

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 London with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New London. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
