Will follow all directions and my main efforts would be to make your pets feel comfy and safe with me, taking care of pets has always been enjoyable to me.
“Leaving your pets in someone else’s care is often a stressful for an owner but knowing Craig is keeping a watchful on them for drop in visits aleviated a half stress. Craig was punctual and provided consistent communication. Craig is very kind and understanding of my senior dog’s needs. His punctuality ensured there were no potty accidents. Despite terrible rain storms during the visits, I returned to find my home clean and my dogs content which is a testament to Craig’s respect for me home as well. I highly recommend Craig for drop in visits.”
About: Hi! I’m Catalina, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. My dad and I used to take care of dogs together for years, and now that he’s stepped away from Rover, I’m continuing the work we both loved. I’ve grown up surrounded by animals of all kinds. I’ve handled everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs, I’ve cared for all types of animals, dogs, cats, small pets, and have hands-on experience with pregnant dogs, newborn puppies, and even helping deliver a litter. At home, I have a sweet female pug who is friendly with everyone, and a shy, gentle cat who keeps her space. My class schedule is Tuesdays (11 AM–5 PM), Wednesdays (1 PM–5 PM), and Thursdays (3 PM–5 PM). I’m available before and after class times and have flexible availability on other days! I always follow instructions exactly, keep communication open, and send lots of photos and updates so you feel at ease. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved just like they are at home. Even with my class schedule, pet care is an important part of my routine. I organize my day to make sure pets receive regular walks, feeding times, playtime, and lots of attention. Before and after classes, I’m fully available to give pets the care and companionship they need. Under my care, pets receive constant attention and structure. I create a calm, clean environment where each pet has space to relax and feel secure. I stick to their feeding and walk schedule, monitor their behavior throughout the day, and offer plenty of playtime and breaks. I also keep communication open with owners and send frequent updates. Safety, routine, and comfort are always my top priorities.
About: With over three decades of dedicated pet care experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and versatility to ensuring the well-being of animals. My journey began with a deep love for creatures of all kinds, evolving into a lifelong commitment to their care, training, and happiness. From nurturing playful puppies to providing specialized care for senior dogs, I’ve mastered the art of meeting animals’ needs at every stage of life. My expertise extends beyond canines to include horse training and ownership, as well as caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets and fish giving me a uniquely broad perspective on pet care. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience across such a diverse range of species. Training puppies has honed my ability to foster trust, teach essential behaviors, and create lasting bonds using positive, patient methods. Caring for elder dogs has deepened my understanding of their unique needs, from mobility support to tailored nutrition, ensuring their golden years are comfortable and dignified. My work with horses has refined my skills in handling large animals, mastering their training with a calm, confident approach that translates to all species. Meanwhile, my care for smaller companions like rabbits, guinea pigs, and parakeets showcases my attention to detail, from crafting enriching environments to monitoring their delicate health needs. This diverse background equips me to adapt to any pet’s personality, needs, or challenges. I pride myself on creating safe, nurturing environments where animals thrive, whether it’s through customized training plans, meticulous health monitoring, or simply showering them with love. My approach is rooted in empathy, patience, and a commitment to lifelong learning about animal behavior and care. With 30 years of hands-on experience, I offer not just expertise but a genuine passion for enhancing the lives of pets and their owners, making me a trusted partner in their care. As a former elementary art educator now a stay-at-home mom, I seamlessly blend my pet care experience into my daily routine, ensuring our animals thrive alongside family life. My flexibility and availability allows for a harmonious, pet-friendly environment with ease. Dedicated to care, love and enrichment, I ensure your pet’s safety, trust, and comfort in my home. My securely fenced yard includes a designated pet relief area, kept clean for hygiene. My two friendly, well-socialized dogs offer companionship, with interactions carefully monitored to suit your pet’s temperament. If crating is needed for rest or anxiety, I am happy to use your dog’s crate. My expertise spans puppies, senior dogs, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets, and fish, allowing me to adapt to any pet’s unique requirements with confidence and care. I foster trust through transparent, personalized care, consulting with you to understand your pet’s routines, feeding, and preferences. My pet-friendly home is a safe, enriching environment, free from hazards, with spaces for rest, play, and feeding. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m present to provide constant supervision, ensuring your pet feels loved and secure. Regular updates and photos keep you connected, giving you peace of mind that your fur baby is thriving in my care.
“Maia was very attentive to our cats. She put me at ease that our 2 elderly cats were well cared for. Her daily reports and pictures of the cats were thorough. I will reach out to her again if we need help with our cats, and I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone. Thank you, Maia.”

Andrea was incredibly kind and easygoing. She took wonderful care of my cat, and he seemed very happy and relaxed when we returned from our 5-day trip. She also kindly helped with a few household tasks, like bringing in the garbage bins and collecting our mail, which we really appreciated. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Kathryn was eager to meet my boys prior to our trip. This puts everyone at ease. It’s something I look for when choosing a new pet care provider. Kathryn followed all my instructions and was communicative all during our trip. My boys were happy and content when we got home.
Katie has been a wonderful sitter for my cats! She was easy to reach and very responsive. She even agreed to an emergency visit when my cat toppled the water fountain over. I was able to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind knowing she’s looking after my babies :) Thank you, Katie!
Sara is a supreme cat sitter and you can trust her with your pets. She was flexible when we had a family emergency and is always reliable to make sure my kitties are well. Even my shy kitty who doesn’t like most people will excitedly greet her. Highly recommended and we will be booking her again and again!

As of July 2026, there are 11,992 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across New Milford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
