“Terry is the absolute best dog sitter! She is wonderful with our dog and very professional! We’ve had Terry as our dog sitter for several years when we go on vacations or weekend get aways. As our dog has gotten older, we don’t worry at all that she will be taken care of while in Terry’s care. I highly recommend Terry for pets young and old. Thank you Terry!”
“Carolina was great! She stopped in morning and night to feed, give water, and play with our Australian shepherd for a few nights. Luna had so much fun with her and was still a happy girl when we got home. She sent lots of pictures and videos and asked clarifying questions to make sure everything was as it should be! I would book her again for her awesome help”
“Faith is quite possibly the best pet sitter of all time! I forgot to leave my pets stuff out as usual and had to improvise, she is always helpful and always takes great care of my dog while I'm away”
“Melissa is the absolute best. She took amazing care of our cats while we were away on our honeymoon. It was the longest we had ever been away from them, but we had completely confidence in Melissa. The cats (especially Milo) love her, which is so much peace of mind!”
“Angelle took great care of my dog. I would definitely book with her again. I can tell she truly cares for the pets she is watching. When my dog was fussy with his food, she went above and beyond to get him to eat.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve had dogs of my own since I was 5 years old and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets. Over the years, I’ve watched friends’ dogs and cats while they’ve traveled, walked friends’ dogs, and helped care for my family’s cats. I’m a proud single mom to two amazing daughters and a Frenchie mama to Theo and Chloe, who are absolutely part of the family! ❤️ I’m also a local Realtor living in Waterford, and my flexible schedule allows me to make time for something else I truly enjoy—caring for animals!

Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m reliable, attentive, respectful of your home, and always happy to send pictures and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands! 🐾💕 As a local Realtor, I’m fortunate to have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my days around appointments and commitments.

About: I currently work from home, so your pup gets plenty of company and attention throughout the day rather than being left alone for hours. Our days can include walks, playtime, backyard time, cuddles, or simply relaxing nearby while I work. I have a 2-year-old Black Lab/Boxer mix who is very friendly and loves having other dogs around. We also have a fully fenced-in yard where the dogs can safely get some fresh air, play, and stretch their legs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I’m happy to follow your pup’s normal schedule as closely as possible—including meals, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I also love sending photo updates, because I know how reassuring it is to see that your dog is happy and doing well while you're away. ❤️ Whether your dog is energetic and ready to play or prefers to curl up and relax, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and companionship.

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: Hi! I’m very experienced with dogs as well as cats. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life. I have a lot of experience watching pets while there owners were away for a long period of time as well as stopping to let their dog out. Including puppy’s, dogs and cats. I would love to meet your pet and take care of them as my own! I’m currently a part time waitress and have a very flexible schedule. I’m very happy to help especially with any last minute bookings! I’ve had both dogs and cats my whole life of all different breeds. Ive grown up with dogs my whole life so Im very comfortable in most situations. I care for your animals as if they were my own. I know how worry some it is to leave them but I promise they are in good paws ;) with me! I make sure to take them on proper walks, pick up after them, give any medicine if necessary, and love them as if they were my own!
About: I have been caring for neighbor’s, friend’s and family’s pets when needed since I was a teenager 8 years ago. It is one of my favorite ways to give back to the people and pets in my life! I am currently working part time, leaving plenty of time to pet sit both cats, dogs, and bunnies. I also have experience walking friends and family’s dogs and would love to do that for others as well. I regularly feed, provide water, and take my family friend’s pets on walks. I also spend time with their dogs in their back yard playing with them!
About: No rule will be bent, no abnormal behavior will go unreported, and no tummy will be left unrubbed! I've done it all! Boarding, overnights, drop in visits, walks, appointment escort, etc... I just love animals. I've never met an animal I didn't get along with and never feel better than when one returns that love. I know it can be challenging and, frankly, scary to trust someone else with your pets- they're family after all! That's why I consider the role of pet sitter as the most important part of my day. You want pictures? You got 'em! You need updates? Expect a detailed text! You want someone to reassure your babies to not worry and their mom(s)/dad(s) will be home soon? I will be as clear with them as if they were a human child! I get it, you worry they will feel scared when you aren't home. That's why I am here. Food, walks, and playtime are all well and good, but I believe it is just as important to make them feel as comfortable as I can with as much reassurance as I can give. I am a weekly volunteer at Kitty Harbor in Griswold so when it comes to cats, I am experienced in all sorts of mishaps- litter accidents, dirty butt, scratch boo boos, and more. I am also experienced in administering medication. Of course, if you're kitty has a way that works for them, then that's how we'll get it done! As for the pups, I am always excited to get a chance to go for a walk or even a full on hike! Exercise is always more fun when a four legged friend is involved. If you're training a young puppy, or even an old fellow, just let me know exactly when I should be disallowing and you can feel comfortable they won't be learning any bad behavior from me. One last note: boundaries are so important. Every animal is different and every animal has their own limits. If your kitty doesn't like to be pet, then no pets they shall have. If your dog doesn't like to be watched while they eat, then my eyes shall be shut. I hate being stressed, why would I put that on anyone else? I work a 9-5 in Norwich so I am available early mornings and evenings for visits. If you're in Norwich, I can be available mid day for a lunch time drop in as well. I have reliable transportation and a desire to start and/or end my day with furry friends. As for weekends, I am always booked afternoon into the evening on Sunday for my time with the kitties at the Kitty Harbor, but other than that I can have plenty of room on the weekends to add your babies in to my routine. Routine and boundaries. Whatever they are used to, that's what they'll get from me! I hate being stressed, why would I want to do anything to make an animal unnecessarily stressed?
About: We have a 8 year old Golden Doodle with plenty of energy! Always love having other dogs with him to play to enjoy our large fenced in yard. He has lots of energy so can keep up with your dog, but always knows when it’s time to chill! We limit the amount of dogs we take to ensure a stress free environment for all, especially when taking on new friends! We do have a young son so will need any dogs to be friendly with children Majority of the time myself and my wife both work from home - one of us is here at all times and love to spend time outdoors with our dog Fenced yard - approx 1/3 acre enclosed Friendly and playful golden doodle who gets along with everyone. We’ve cared for many friends dogs and would treat yours like our own
“She takes great care of my kitties with their individual needs and is incredibly kind and friendly! I'd recommend her in a heartbeat. She even helped me out with a last minute request due to unexpected travel and is really compassionate.”
About: I’ve taken care of family, friends and neighbors dogs and cats for over 15 years. Love being able to spend time with them and the opportunity to see them happy and well cared for! I currently work remote so have time during the day and nights to take care of all animals. Usually busy from noon to four to try and enjoy the back half of a ski day I enjoy taking dogs for walks or playing fetch. I am a very energetic person and feel well suited for any environment with all kinds of pets
About: As an animal lover with two pets of my own, I absolutely love meeting new furry friends! I have been pet-sitting for family friends and neighbors for years, and now I have decided to join Rover to streamline the process. I am happy to do short walks and check-ins or to stay over in your house with your pet. I make my own schedule for work, so I am extremely flexible!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New London
Katelin was amazing with my dog Ritter! She was thorough and made me feel so at ease being away. She sent so many photos and was always great with communication with and attentive to him! It's not always easy finding somebody comfortable and able to watch a big dog and she went above and beyond for him and myself.
We absolutely love having her care for our five little rascals! This was our sixth time using her, and once again, she was amazing. She is reliable, attentive, and communicates so well, which gives us complete peace of mind while we’re away. Five cats is definitely a handful, and then add the litter room to the mix! 😂 She handles it all like a pro and is so patient and caring with each of them. We always come home to happy, well-cared-for cats and a clean, well-kept home. The fact that we keep coming back says it all! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely caring pet sitter. We’ll definitely be using her again!
I was in need of cat care on short notice and Emily was very responsive. She met with me soon after I contacted her and came right over to meet me . While I was away she checked in daily with wonderful pics and let me know everything was fine. It’s great to have peace of mind when you are traveling! I will book her again for sure! I highly recommend her for pet care.
I highly recommend Tova! She was absolutely wonderful with my cat. She was professional, reliable, and communicative. My cat is shy with new people but Tova was patient and loving with her. And even though this was a new experience for my cat, I could tell when I got home that she was not stressed at all. I have peace of mind knowing that she is in good hands with Tova and I plan to book her regularly. Thank you!
Marii was great to work with; she had fantastic communication and my cats loved her, clearly having lots of cuddles and playtime in each visit. I appreciated the meet and greet before booking to make sure we were on the same page for care and so she could meet my cats and see their personalities. Looking forward to booking with her again and I'm sure my cats are too lol

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in New London is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 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 899 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across New London. 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
