About: I am a caring and responsible animal lover with many years of hands-on experience. For over 7 years, I regularly helped my neighbor take care of her dogs — including daily walks, feeding, companionship, and sometimes looking after multiple dogs at once. I have also had pets my entire life, including cats, a dog, and small animals like hamsters. This has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, patience, and the importance of routine and safety. I am currently available full-time and can provide constant care and attention. I offer flexible scheduling, including half-day stays, daytime care, and in-home boarding in a safe and calm environment I provide calm, attentive, and personalized care based on each pet’s needs and routine. In my home: I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, прогулки (walks), and any special needs. Pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and gentle supervision throughout the day. I make sure they are never left alone for long periods. In my client’s home: I respect your home and your pet’s привычную среду (routine). I keep their schedule consistent — feeding, walks, playtime, and rest — so they feel secure and less stressed while you are away. I am reliable, clean, and attentive to details. I always pay close attention to each animal’s behavior and mood to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.

About: I have worked as a dog groomer and have volunteered at shelters. Every animal should be treated with respect and kindness. Grooming and volunteering helped also in getting familiar with signs that a dog might be in distress. I work a full time job during the week but my afternoons are free. I also am always home on the weekends so doing this on the weekends would be perfect. I love all pets but sadly I am allergic to most cats. Dogs on the other hand can roam around my residence freely. Which includes beds, as long as they are comfortable and safe I can accommodate to any breed.
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. I am happy to leave covered in hair & smelling like whatever they smell like! I am comfortable with puppies-senior. I am free almost all evenings & early mornings. Weekends are mostly open, too! Mondays are usually always free starting in August. Currently I’m pretty flexible, too! I follow directions & am comfortable reaching out if I have questions. I lean on the safe side & want the absolute best for your pet.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was born and have helped care for them all my life as well as helping friends who also with their personal pets and rover pets as well. I usually wake up early and will be able to get them out in the morning before class then also later after classes as well. Service would be the same multiple walks a day along with playing in the house and sticking to the feeding schedule given by the owners.
About: I grew up with lots of cats and dogs as a kid and became experienced with taking care of them at a young age. I love playing with and taking care of pets and I'm good at reading their body language and trying to understand what an animal wants and needs. I work freelance remotely so my schedule is flexible and I have plenty of time to check on and care for your pets. I have a reliable car and have no problem coming to your home to care for your pet. I have experience with both cats and dogs and I know how to read their body language and respond to whatever it is that they need.
“Wendy was wonderful in taking care of our cat while we were gone for Christmas. She sent multiple pictures each day, stayed with Maggie longer than the minimum time to comfort and support her, and properly fed and watered her. I would hire Wendy again in a heartbeat and plan to do so when we go back to NY in May. This woman is one of the really professional and competent sitters out there. Thank you, Wendy.”

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I bring a lifetime of hands on experience to every pet I care for. I grew up with cats, have cared for a diabetic dog who required daily medication and consistent monitoring, and currently share my home with an energetic 80 lb dog. These experiences have taught me that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or requires extra attention, I’ll provide patient, dependable care tailored to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of an 80 lb dog, I’m already committed to daily walks, playtime, feeding, and providing plenty of love and attention. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for clients’ pets, whether they need drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection while respecting any special instructions or medical needs. I also make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them patience, attention, and companionship. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and their owners can feel at ease while they’re apart.
About: I have grown up with my dogs my entire life. I have housesat and taken care of many family member and friends pets. I will make sure they are cared for and treated like my own dog.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and taking care of them has always felt natural to me. Over the years I’ve had the joy of caring for many different pets/animals. This ranges from dogs to cats to smaller animals like rabbits and hamsters, horses, and even a few cows. Each one had their own little personality, and I took the time to get to know what made them feel safe and happy. Whether I’m feeding them, going for walks, or just sitting with them so they don’t feel alone, I really enjoy being someone animals can trust. Taking care of them never feels like a chore but it’s something I genuinely love. Even as a college student, I make sure pet care fits comfortably into my schedule. I plan my classes and study time so I always have enough space in my day for walks, feeding, playtime, and anything else a pet might need. Having a routine actually helps keep me organized and caring for animals gives me a nice break from schoolwork and something positive to look forward to. I’m very mindful about time management, so I make sure each pet gets consistent attention and doesn’t feel rushed or overlooked. You and your animal can trust me because I truly care about creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet I look after. I’ve been around animals my whole life, so I understand how important it is to be patient, gentle, and consistent. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and comfort levels so they never feel overwhelmed or ignored. I’m responsible, reliable, and always put their well-being first. Whether that means sticking closely to your instructions, keeping a close eye on their safety, or simply giving them reassurance when they’re nervous. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is being cared for with the same love and attention I’d give my own.
About: Animal lover with a passion for caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Reliable, patient, and attentive, with a focus on keeping pets safe, active, and happy on every walk. I'm currently not working, so I have plenty of time to cuddle and take care of your pets! My availability is wide open! Limited weekend hours. My home isn't pet friendly as my cats don't like friends. So any pet watching would have to be at your house or outside or another location.
About: I've taken care of all ages of cats and dogs, and handled things like medication or appointments. I've pet sat for multiple friends, coworkers and family members throughout the years and many of them have come back multiple times for me to do it again. I own my own business so I make my own hours and can be flexible on when I'm needed. I'm available weekdays but not weekends. I will make sure to follow any and all instructions you leave, and love to play and cuddle with animals. I also have time to bring dogs on longer walks if needed.
About: My parents ran a German shepherd dog breeding business when I was growing up. I helped deliver puppies and tend to our 5+ adult dogs and litters of puppies from a young age. Additionally, I've raised and cared for cats throughout my life. In college, I worked seasonally for a dog daycare and boarding facility. Post college, I worked for a dog trainer and took dogs on hikes in the woods. I would be more than happy to hike your dogs if they enjoy that level of exercise. I prefer to organize a meet up with your pets before watching them to get a better understanding of their mannerisms and needs so I can best accommodate. I work part time for a few different companies. My work is flexible if given enough time in advance. Happy to discuss further as needed. I maintain your pups regular routine to the best of my ability. It is important for your pups to have as much "normal" as possible, sometimes it's tough on them for their parents to be away.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Newington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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 .
