About: Hello! My name is Maryl and I'm very excited to meet your pets and make sure they feel special, loved and overall happy and safe in my care. I've been pet sitting and taking care of dogs for about 2 years now. I absolutely adore animals and I find caring for them to be particularly rewarding. I grew up with a lot of animals (dogs, cats, fish) but no longer have any. Because of this I absolutely love every single opportunity I get to care for them. Each and every pet is unique in their own way and I love getting to know them, connecting with them, and helping them to feel safe and loved while their family is away. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pet! My schedule is very free so I have a lot of time to care for, play, and watch your pets! I love animals so I’m more than happy to adjust my schedule for them. I am very willing to do overnights to make sure your pet is safe and happy! I am naturally very calm and positive which I find always animals more comfortable :)
“Lauren did a wonderful job taking care of our 3 pets so we could relax and enjoy our weekend away. She kept us updated with photos and comments and our pets were calm and happy being able to stay at home. We can’t say enough how pleased we were with Lauren!”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life. I’ve grown up with a cat and two labs, so caring for both cats and dogs feels very natural to me. I’m used to everything from playtime and walks to quiet companionship, and I pay close attention to each pet’s routine and personality. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently a student at UConn! My schedule and course load is fairly light so I have plenty of time to take care and play with your pets! I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their own space and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box or potty needs, medication if needed, and playtime. I make sure pets get attention, exercise, and companionship, while also keeping the home clean and secure. I always respect the pet’s habits and personality and aim to keep things as stress-free as possible.
“Olivia was fantastic, just like the last time we booked her! She did everything we requested for our cat’s care, and he seemed happy and well cared for when we came home!”
“Althea takes the extra time to make sure the cats are getting the best care! When she found that our cat had thrown up she not only cleaned it all up, but checked the house for more and kept us updated.”
“Allyson cared for our dog for a full week. A prompt message was sent following each visit with a photo or two. We felt at ease that Allyson was going above and beyond to make sure Finn was comfortable while we were away. We are fortunate to have Allyson for our pet care needs!”
About: Since 2013 dogs have been a huge part of my life. Between training my own dogs and teaching a variety of dog training classes I have a wealth of experience with many different breeds, ages, and temperaments. Whether you’re looking for walks, playtime, or drop in pet care, weekday availability primarily in the afternoon for potties and play as well as select weekend availability. Your dogs are important and valued members of your family, so meeting their mental, physical, and emotional needs safely and in the ways you specify is always my top priority.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, from smaller pets like dogs and cats when I was younger to today where I help care for goats and alpacas on my family farm. I also have a young puppy of my own that I’ve been training, so I’m very familiar with routine building and patience when it comes to animals! Currently I am a college student so I am very flexible to work over breaks when I home whether that be weekends or weekdays, day or night! Though I am not available to care for animals in my own home, I will make it a priority to make them as comfortable as possible in yours! Wheather that be crating them, sticking with routines such as feeding, walking, or any other special instructions you leave me, so that your pet can feel consistent and comfortable while you are gone!
About: I have had pets my entire life and love taking care of them- from horses to small animals like rats, bunnies, chickens, cats dogs etc. - I often house and pet sit for friends and neighbors in their home. My specialty is senior dogs and cats, they have a special place in my heart although I love all ages! I have a green thumb and can also take care of your garden and plants when you are away as well and bring in your mail if requested. I come to you to make things convenient and easy! I am fully available to take care of your pets in your own home where they are comfortable and can keep their daily routine. Best thing for the pet and for you! I am a remote worker, so I would be home with your pet working during the day. I also do daycare services, which means I can work from your home during the day to let the dog out or give them some play time sessions or a walk. I would come to your home to take care of your pet(s) where they are most comfortable. I feel that makes most pets at ease when they can keep their everyday routine. Pets strive on routine and with being in your home they can have that, so you have peace of mind.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for most of my life. I want to make sure your furry (or not so furry) babies feel loved!! I can’t wait to meet them! Whatever your fluffy babies need, I will do my best to make that happen! Let’s chat and see what I can do for you :) I want to make your pet feel as safe and comfortable as possible. I am happy to follow detailed instructions and do those little things that make a difference for your fluffy baby!
“Megan was great with my two dogs. She was very caring and worked to gain their trust. This was not an easy job because both dogs are wary of strangers. She was calm and understanding and it ended up being an awesome experience! I would recommend her without hesitation ❤️”
“Chichi had a drop-in visit with my dog in anticipation of walking him daily for a couple of weeks. I was impressed by her experience with reactive dogs. She was not at all put off by my dog's fearful reaction to a new person and I am happy to have found someone who understands dog psychology.”
About: I possess over 6 years of extensive experience in providing professional care for dogs and cats in Vermont. My services encompass a wide range, including mid-day potty breaks, walks around the town, and overnight stays. Throughout my tenure, I have adeptly handled reactive and anxious pets, ensuring their well-being and comfort. I also have some experience caring for reptiles. I’m a graduate student in NH with a schedule that changes by semester. However, I’m flexible and happy to discuss specific availability! This ensures we find times that work best for both you, your pets, and my studies! **Tuesday and Thursdays are my clinical days** My preference lies in providing pet care services within the pets' own home, while ensuring utmost client satisfaction and comfort. I gladly offer additional assistance, including collecting mail and tending to the watering of plants.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for many years and grew up with all different kinds of animals. I was also in 4H working with poultry for 10 years. I am the owner of a sweet black lab named Jack. I am available on the weekends all day. During the week I’m available mornings and evenings. I am pretty flexible and able to work around my schedules. I am very respectful to my clients home and I treat any animals as if they were my own! With lots of love and respect!

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.
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 London. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
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.
