About: I had a dog since I was in 2nd grade, for around 15 years. I have experience in young puppy care and senior dog care. Just getting into the Rover business, but eager of learn and would love to help! So I’m currently a 3rd Resident Physician at the hospital, so I do have more time on weekends to do sit ins and walks. I miss having a dog and taking care of one so this is my way to give back! I also can do late night sit ins or walks after my shift which usually ends at 630pm. I have an apartment with a doggy park and a pet cleaning and bathing area. The doggy park is fenced with toys and water. I’m great at following instructions and will take great caution and care in others home.

About: My first “job” was dog sitting when I was in first grade. I included snuggling them every night in my promise to owners, and to this day nothing has changed. I work at the children’s hospital as a pediatric audiology extern from 7:30 am-6 pm every day. I would love to dog walk on weekday evenings and I am available to pet sit and dog walk on weekends. Pets’ safety is always the number one priority. With me, your pet will never be unattended or in dangerous situations. I also value other people’s space and home.

About: Hello! My name is Brittney and I have been caring for dogs and many other animals since I was a young kid. I grew up pet sitting and dog walking for family friends and neighbors and now with this app I am able to continue to do so. I currently have one dog, Macie who is wonderful and loves to play or lounge, really whatever I am doing she is right there with me. I love all dogs age and size don’t matter to me! I love to walk dogs and am just looking to exercise and care for other pets in the area in my free time! Hope I can meet your dog or other pets soon! I work in the school system so I have summers off and a very flexible schedule. I am primarily home during the summer months and my boyfriend also lives and works from home so we are regularly around most of the day! All needs of the pet depend on each one. I am adaptable and eager to work with what your specific pet needs. I am happy to exercise, play, administer meds, etc.
“Emma was so lovely to work with! She came and met the dogs ahead of time, which was great. She kept me up-to-date with her drop in visits, including pictures! The dogs really liked her & I will definitely use her again!”
About: I love all types and dogs and have had my own for my entire life! I have worked with big, medium and small dogs. I have experience with high- and low-energy dogs and understand that all of their temperaments are different. Your dog's safety is my top priority. Before beginning a job, I would love to get to know your dog(s) so that both you and I know what to expect during walks and drop-in visits. I will establish the areas in which you are comfortable with your dog(s) being walked and learn the routine you want your dog(s) to follow. I will walk up to 2 dogs at a time and have flexible availability. I can't wait to meet your furry friends! Taking care of pets is top priority. Daily mealtime and exercise are part of my normal routine. I work it in around my own routines. I ensure that meals are given at the proper time and cleaned up afterwards. Pets are always kept on a leash and in close proximity when outside. I am happy to provide enrichment and exercise for pets.
About: I have been taking care of animals for over 30 years! Never met an animal that didn't like me after meeting me. I know how to adapt to their vibe and usually end up with lots of puppy and kitty friends! I am very flexible and easy going. I love animals and it literally brings peace and joy to my life to be around as many as possible each day so if I am not with my own animals I would love to help with yours! I can stay over night for animals if needed. I am very flexible and trustworthy. I have animals and I know how they need us! I can drop in for potty breaks or I can take them for long walks and hang with them! I am very open to meeting your needs.

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 North Branford 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.
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 North Branford 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 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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in North Branford with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
