“Drew was very attentive with my fur babies!! She followed all instructions and was able to adjust when my dog ran to other dogs. She was able to remain calm and wrangle them back in the house. Her communication was superb and I never had to worry about getting ahold of her. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Reggi was great with my cat, Noodle! We appreciated the ease of communication with Reggi through texts and the Rover app. She checked in every day, sent photos, and Noodle was as happy as a kitty can be when we finally arrived home after our long holiday away. She kept us updated on Noodle's appetite and other habits and did everything we asked of her. We'd love to have her back to take care of our kitty the next time we have to go out of town.”
About: I have 2 indoor cats and 2 Labrador Retrievers. I also have recent puppy experience as my youngest dog is less than 1 year old. With 20 years of experience as a cat owner, I also understand their unique needs. I am not currently working another job so my schedule is very flexible to accommodate the needs of your Fur babies. And, I understand the importance of having someone you trust care for them when you’re not able to. I have a fenced in yard and take my dogs for at least 1 walk a day in addition to their unstructured playtime so I understand the importance of prioritizing the needs of Fur babies to maximize their quality of life.
“We booked a last minute drop in visit. Our 3 dogs were all happy to meet Theresa the day before. She sent great pics of the dogs and they all looked happy! We will definitely use her services again.”
“Miriam was great with my dogs while I was out of town and the last minute booking wasn't an issue. One of my dogs takes medicine every few hours and Miriam was able to administer it with no problems.”
“Medea is a great pet sitter. She was accommodating and easy to communicate with. Medea even went the extra step in helping water my potted plants. I would definitely recommend her to a friend :)”
“Zyaria is awesome! She is very responsive for questions and communicate very well about giving care of our pet. During her first visit, we had a little problem about getting inside of the house and she can't get hold of me because my phone wasn't on sight. She reached out to my bf and was very patient and helpful resolving the whole situation. My dog is a senior dog and requires some extra steps of care, and she handled it very well. I will definitely come to her for more care service in the future!”
“Jennifer saved me helping with my puppy Knox for 6 days straight! She loved him like her own. And is also the best at taking pet photos! I will recommend her to everyone I can. She is so amazing and I am so lucky to have found her through this service.”

About: As a dedicated animal lover with a background in vet tech care, I'm confident in my ability to provide top-notch care for your furry friends. With experience working in a veterinary setting and a lifelong passion for animals, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. Growing up in an animal-loving family, I was exposed to various aspects of pet care, including dog shows and breeding. I've also had the pleasure of caring for my family's pets during their vacations, which has given me hands-on experience in providing personalized care and attention. My expertise extends to assisting with animal births, nail clipping, and caring for newborn puppies through their senior years. My family affectionately calls me the "pet whisperer" due to my ability to connect with animals of all ages and breeds. I'm committed to providing compassionate, trustworthy, and professional care for your beloved pets, and I'm excited to work with you to ensure their happiness and well-being." I am a widow and all my sons are grown, so I have nothing but time on my hands and to be honest my mom suggested that I give this a try because I watch her animals when she goes out of town and they are bad separation anxiety and when she has had someone watch them in the past her dogs wouldn’t eat and would be very depressed but when I watch them they have no problems , they eat , they play , and they are happy. She said my Aunt watches pets for a living and she loves it and since I am a big animal lover and I am so good with them that I should give Rover a try. I have an open availability.I also recommend a meet and greet that way you have a chance to meet me and so do your fur babies before you make any decisions! I follow the parents of the pets instructions and try to give the fur babies a normal routine as if their parents were home. I feed, play, walk, and will even cuddle with your fur baby and if it is a sleepover stay and your fur baby is use to sleeping next to you and they want to sleep next me then that is perfectly fine with me. All I want is for your fur baby to feel loved and safe!
“Brittany did a great job taking care of my cat. She responded to messages quickly and would always give me updates about what was going on. I would definitely book her again!”
“Second time with Cameron. We love her concern and care for our cats. She’s very good at keeping us informed about what’s happening while we are away. I’m never worried. Thanks again Cameron. We really appreciate what you are doing here on Rover.”

About: I’ve helped friends and family with their dogs and cats. I have a passion for helping in general and love cats and dogs of all kinds. I currently work 3, 12 hour shifts during the week and sometimes have up to 5 days off at a time so I have plenty of free time. I do have children but I have childcare coverage. I would treat your pet/pets just as I would treat my own. I can come to your home and care for your pet just as you would. We can play in the yard, go for a walk etc.
About: I have lots of years of animal care, animal sitting and house sitting. I've walked dogs of all sizes, big, small, etc. I've been doing pet care since I was about 14 years old, and use to house sit for a close friend of mine for years where I would feed the dogs, let them out to use the restroom, and stay to play with them. Now that I've moved to the Rockford area, I'm looking to establish trust, and offer the best care for your fur babies. I work full time, Monday through Friday. I can let animals out for potty breaks and food bowl checks after 6pm CST on the weekdays, or even late evening walks. Otherwise, weekends are completely open for walks, housesitting, and even overnights. I always make sure that your pet is safe, whether you have a fence, crate, or leash to keep them on. Before leaving, I'll make sure that the house is locked up, and that the pet is safe in their crate if needed. I do a quick last check to top off the water, food, and I'll provide plenty of updates if you wish to know how your dog or cat is doing.

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 Milford 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 Milford. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
