“Laura was great! She was very communicative while she was over our place and was extremely patient with our girl who gets very nervous of new people. She took the time to let Kona warm up to her and now they’re besties. Will absolutely use her again in the future.”

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life! I’ve been in the animal care industry for about 7 years now ! Working in Kennels, Vet Clinics, volunteering at the animal shelter when I was younger and now I’m a dog groomer (3years). I have lots of experience with many breeds and sizes! No dogs too big or too small! I can trim nails if needed or even offer you my services as a dog groomer :) I’m currently working full time but I am a dog groomer so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Thursday and Sundays I’m available any time ! Monday-Wednesday I would be available after 2pm. Friday and Saturday availability is after 1pm. I am big on affection! I love to cuddle up with my cat (Sauce) and yours! If you’ll give me a chance ! I love to hike and be outdoors! I have a dog named Daisy Mae and she’s always been a fan of taking trips to the creek or just taking hours long walks just sniffing everything she sees! I make sure she’s tick free when we finish especially! I am a very outgoing person and very patient when it comes to really everything! I will make sure to treat your doggie just like mine with lots of love and extra attention! I tend to get along with bigger dogs a lot because they are high energy and love to get out and move !

“Olivia did an awesome job ! It's always hard trusting someone to care for your babies but she gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cat warmed up to her right away which made me happy that they had company while I was gone 🥰 she even took the initiative to clean up and always reached out if she had any questions. She was quick to respond, followed all care instructions, and the communication was great! Lots of pics ☺️ I highly recommend her and look forward to having her sit for me again !”

“Samantha offered excellent care and attention to my little kitty. My cat is not one to snuggle with just anyone. Samantha worked to engage her and to give her the cuddles while I was away. She communicated and offered nice pictures of my little girl. She helped when a last minute issue led to a couple of extra days. Thanks for Great care!”

About: I grew up with a dog and now have adorable and most loving rescued Beagle of my own. I trained him to understand common commands. I’m happy to visit your fur baby to play or keep him/her company and take them for walks during lunch time or in the evenings while you are at work or away on weekends. I’m offering play dates and walks for your pooch. I am reliable and flexible. I have a friendly Beagle who loves to dig and chaise squirrels.

About: I volunteered at an animal shelter with dogs and cats of all ages and behavioral needs. I also fostered puppies and adult dogs. I am comfortable with training and grooming. I work full-time, but am mostly remote and have plenty of time in the evenings and mornings to take care of pets, though I am unable to have a pet of my own. I am a big proponent of crate training, but will follow the owner’s lead on how they wish for their pet to be taken care of.

About: I provide dogs the love and attention they deserve. I am comfortable with any situation. Animals, especially dogs have always had a special place in my heart. If there is a dog you know you can find me there! I am trustworthy, great at multi tasking and listening to instructions so you know that your pets are safe and taken care of with me. I am flexible with last minute requests and work hard to meet your pet sitting needs. I listen to the instructions given and I make sure to give the best service. if I don't understand or feel uncomfortable about something I always speak up and get the clarification I need. I have done this for years and I still choose this over other jobs I have had. Something about this job makes me feel like it's not a job at all. I enjoy it so much. I make sure your pup/s is safe and happy when you see them again. I check to see what their needs are and can assure you they will be taken care of.

About: Hello! I’m Ella🐾 I’ve recently located to the West Hartford area and would love the opportunity to have care for the pups of CT! I currently work remote and would love to fill my free time caring for fur friends. All sessions booked with me are guaranteed to be fully dedicated time & care to your pet. I love staying active so always up for a walk, run, or play session! I do not currently have a live-in pup, but I do live in a dog friendly apartment complex and am close to ample neighborhoods and parks. Animals are family! When in my care, they are my number one priority and center of my attention.

Jenna was incredible with our three cats. Medicating one of them —Baguette — is particularly involved. Each morning and night she gets pilled three times, and at night she gets subcutaneous fluids. Until Jenna, only my girlfriend and a veterinarian technician have been able to pill her. Understandably, Baguette challenged Jenna at first. However, Jenna was tenacious and very quickly learned what strategies worked for her and Baguette. Moreover, she reassured us that she would never leave until every cat received their medicine. She was extremely communicative, always sending us photos and any questions or updates she had. She willingly spent more time than required for a session to make sure our cats were comfortable with her. Jenna is highly skilled and will truly care for your pets. Highly, highly recommend. Thank you!

What would we do without lovely Jocelyn to care for our pups as if they were her own? She loves animals and is always kind and warm and professional in her work. It is clear that she is a natural with animals and our dogs love her. She always sends us updates and lets us know know how it is going, one they are outside paying and when they've eaten and are down for the night and up in the morning. She is a treasure!

Paige is incredible! She is very reliable, flexible, and also very responsive. She is great with my two very shy kitties and has even gotten them to trust her enough to let her pet them (which is not a small feat). I trust her completely with my cats and I am always assured that they will be well cared for. I’ve booked Paige’s services for almost a year now and plan to keep booking her whenever she is available to help.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Newington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Newington is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 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 November 2026, there are 2,624 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Newington. 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 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 Newington. On Rover:

  • 89% 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
