“Courtney B did a fabulous job looking after a very skiddish feral cat. She was able to work very well with the kitty and made sure food was available for her while I was out of town. I would certainly have Courtney help again!”
“I’m very happy I found Carmen on Rover. I know my dog Arena loves people and being spoiled, but she’s usually very nervous around new people at first. Carmen has been incredibly patient, giving Arena the time and space she needs to feel safe and get comfortable. I truly appreciate how great she’s been during this first week, checking in on Arena while I’m at work. I fully trust her to take my pup on walks and care for her.”
About: I grew up raising all different types of animals (birds, rabbits, dogs, lizards) and consider my pets my family. I have about 5 years of paid experience caring for pets and I have a cat of my own. :) I'm currently working from home and I have much free time during the day to make drop in visits or stay for a few hours/overnight as needed. You can ensure that your pets will be treated with the utmost care and looked after for as I would look after my own pets. :)
“Ava was the best cat sitter we’ve ever had! She took amazing care of our 3 cats and went above and beyond the basic necessities. It was clear that my cats loved her from the pictures she sent. She was communicative, on-time, and thoughtful. My house looked very clean when I returned.”
About: We love all animals I have owned dogs from birth to Senior age. I know what it takes to take care of a pet that is elderly, blind, has to be in diapers, to needing a special diet. I love puppies and can set up a nice size play pen in the living room so they have a safe place to play. I do have experience bottle feeding on a regular schedule. We have also owned reptiles to invertebrates and know how to care for these critters as well. If you are in need of a pet needing care that is a small critter like hamster, guinea pig, ferret, chinchilla, etc. or a reptile to snakes and scorpions my husband and I have experience with all these types of critters and more. We both love all animals. We do have a small dog and my dog is crate trained so that wouldn’t be an issue. I also volunteer in 4-H. We have chickens but they are in a fence and not free range. We have an outdoor cat that does not like being in the house at all. She adopted us so she does have a home outdoors and we feed her. Between the two of us we are home all day. We have decided to open up our availability to full time 7 days a week. Depending on the schedule you have set for your pet we try to replicate it as much as possible. To stay on their schedule so when you return home it does not throw your routine off. I provide the pets with a comfortable space if I need to separate my pet from yours mine can hang out in his favorite part of the house which is our bedroom and your pet would have the rest of the house to roam and play plus a fenced in backyard that they can run off Some energy. When your pet is outside we are as-well. we do not leave them unattended. We can definitely come up with a plan that you and I feel comfortable with to make your pet the most comfortable and happy until you get back. I know from experience how nerve racking it is leaving your pet when you have to and you can’t take them with you. I am open to frequent check in's so you can say hi, receive a picture through the Rover chat service, or call / FaceTime chats which ever method you prefer. If your pet is in the process of potty training but still has accidents we do not mind at all putting a pee pad down or going on potty breaks more frequently to help them.
“Luke went above and beyond with our Daisy! After the first visit she was looking forward to him coming back! Also went the extra step of ensuring our house was secure and ready for our return! Thanks Luke!”
“reached out to Addysin at the last minute for drop-in visits for my dog, Arena, and I’m so grateful she was available. She was easy to communicate with and took great care of my pup! I will definitely reach out to her again in the future. Arena and I are very happy with Addysin! 😊”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I have experience training puppies in basic commands like sit, stay, come, and leash manners. I provide a calm, structured environment and pay close attention to each dog’s needs, whether that’s playtime, routine, or extra patience. My goal is to make them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m home most of the day and able to give dogs consistent attention and care. Occasionally I may step out briefly, but dogs are never left alone for long and can be safely crated if needed. I live on a quiet property with a large yard and a long private driveway, giving dogs plenty of space to walk and explore safely. While my yard is not fenced, all outdoor time is supervised and/or on leash for safety. I also have the ability to crate if needed and always prioritize a safe, controlled environment for every dog.
“Very responsive ! Connects well with your pet/companion. My Autumn had a great time playing with her. Gave me peace of mind to know she is well taken care of while we are apart.”
About: I used to work in a Petshotel taking care of dogs and cats. I have a passion for making animals happy and providing them the the proper care they need. I can administer medications in a variety of ways and have been able to monitor multiple dogs at once during playtimes. I have had 10 dogs in my lifetime, and I can't wait to meet even more. I ask that I meet every pet before hand to make sure we will be a good fit before providing services. I recently graduated with my masters, so I am on the hunt for a full time job. Currently my availability is fully open, but is subject to change later. I had dog-sat many of times before and am extremely respectful of other's property and how they choose to take care of their pet. I like to send pictures of people's pets to them while they are away so they can relax knowing they are in good care.
About: I have begged for and cared for animals ever since I was a child. Always the sensitive soul, I tend to be more comfortable with animals and they seem to be quickly comfortable with me. The bigger the better so it seems! As a yoga instructor and former runner, I crave moving around outside. During the week I have plenty of time to get your buds out for potty breaks & attention, the morning being the extended time for play. While Monday & Tuesday are completely full, Friday through Sunday are completely open. Weekends are when if you need me to house sit, that is an option. Obviously, this is guided by any instructions you give. You know your pet and any little eccentricities they may have. I also go by how they are acting after you have been away for a few hours and their experience with absent family members. In bad weather, I'm great with animals that frighten easily. Even if they do not wish to be touched, I calm my tone and talk more so they know they're not alone. Eye contact if that's something they are comfortable with. Ugh, I sound wacky, but it really is vibe check. Be aware, I have a fragrance allergy which would need to be addressed before overnight care.
About: I have been working with and caring for dogs my whole life. Large working breeds to small breeds. I understand dog psychology. I love to work with them and I am in the process of beginning my own company for behavioral modification and training. Give me a call! I am currently working part time as I build my clientele and will have time in my schedule for weekday appointments, I can also take appointments on Saturdays. I have a skill set for handling dogs with great care and positive reinforcement. I currently have 2 of my own 1 Belgian shepherd mix and 1 maltishu mix. I will eventually take in over night boards once I have my building on my property fitted out for it appropriately.
About: I wholeheartedly cherish and adore pets, as they bring immeasurable joy and companionship into my life. Their unwavering loyalty, affectionate nature, and ability to understand and connect with humans on a profound level make them invaluable members of any family. The unconditional love they provide is unparalleled, and I believe that caring for pets is a truly enriching and rewarding experience, one that brings happiness and fulfillment beyond measure My pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I ensure regular feeding, exercise, and playtime, as well as grooming and health check-ups. I prioritize their well-being, setting aside quality time for bonding and training, which strengthens our relationship and brings us both joy and contentment. As a pet care provider, whether in my own home or my clients', I prioritize the welfare and happiness of the animals entrusted to me. I tailor my services to meet their specific needs, which may include regular feeding, exercise, and play sessions. In-home care involves maintaining a safe and comfortable environment, adhering to their daily routines, and administering any necessary medications. Additionally, I ensure ample companionship and attention to alleviate any anxiety they may experience when separated from their owners. My ultimate goal is to create a nurturing and loving atmosphere for the pets under my care.
About: Growing up I've always had a love for all types of pets, I've had a few family pets that I would take care of as well! What sets me apart from other sitters is that I strive to create a bond with your pets! Usually, I would like to set up an appointment ahead of time to meet your loved ones and we can create a bond, I would like to take this time to see if they're comfortable with me based on body language & behaviors! I have experience working with all kinds of pets, and I've worked at boarding facilities. I have experience working with reactive animals and I currently have a reactive dog!! Any extra knowledge I have is because I have a great sister who is a veterinary technician! I currently work 2 jobs, both of which are Thursday-Sunday. At one of my jobs I work overnight, so there is a possibility I will have to leave to work in the middle of the night and will be back by morning. Along with my 2 jobs, I am also a college student, with that being said I have to attend in-person classes during the week. I am able to care for your loved ones before, between, and after work, and make it a priority to give your animals quality care & all the love I can. If you have any questions about my schedule please feel free to reach out! I keep a close watch on my own pets as well as the pets I look after. I would prefer a list/note of what type of pet care you expect, for instance writing a note with your animal's daily schedule and when/what to feed them! If your babies have any allergies or if there's anything specific you'd like me to know about your pet please also disclose that information. At the end of each stay/visit, I make it a point to include a brief summary of how your pet(s) behave, just to bring you up to speed! I like to send lots of photos and videos of your pet, so keep your phone close to receive ALL the love from back home <3
“Kennedy was very consistent with communication and always quick to respond. She showed up on time every day to let our dog out at lunch and called me as requested when she had a concern. She took the time to come meet us beforehand as well since we initially thought we would need her for an overnight visit, and followed my (very detailed) instructions to care for our Nemo since he had some blisters on his paws. Thank you, Kennedy, for doing everything we asked on such short notice and for always keeping me updated!”

The average cost of Pet Sitting in New London is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 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.

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.

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.
