“Keely was great! She came by to meet the boys prior to our vacation and checked in regularly letting us know how they were doing. She was kind and attentive and took all our notes in stride. We would definitely recommend!”
About: Lifelong pet owner experienced with high-needs cats and dogs. I’m pursuing my M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, which shapes how I approach pet care. I provide loving, attentive care with precise routines, clear communication/updates, and quality time. Your child’s happiness and consistency matter. Friday through Saturday, I’m available all day for walks, and drop-ins. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday mornings and evenings for walks and drop-in visits. I’m reliable and responsive—if you have a specific need or last-minute request within my availability, reach out and we can discuss. Based in Branford, CT, works just outside of New Haven with flexible lunch breaks for visits. I’ve built my schedule around pet care because I genuinely care about consistency for the dogs and cats I work with. Monday through Thursday, I’m available mornings and evenings for walks, playtime, and drop-ins. Fridays through Sunday I open up more. I can do mornings, midday, and evenings. This flexibility means I can be the reliable presence your pet knows to expect.
“Courtney is an absolutely wonderful, trustworthy, caring cat-sitter. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her and to continue working with her as my periodic sitter. She has a lovely presence and a calming energy that my cats absolutely gravitate to--she immediately gained their trust and mine. Courtney is responsive and communicative, which really sets me at ease--especially when I've needed to take longer trips away from my two cats. I cannot recommend her more highly!”
“Wonderful sitter! Communicative and takes great care of Kimahri. Also cleaned up a mess he made that was my fault (I forgot to hide the trash can before I left) which i was super grateful for”
“Anne-Marie is AMAZING! While we were away for a week, Anne-Marie dropped in every day to check in our cat Ruby. She kept me apprised each day and sent lovely photos and videos. She followed all our instructions to a tee and was absolutely sweet towards Ruby. When we go away again, we are most definitely booking with Anne-Marie!”
“Charlotte did a fantastic job with our two cats! She send us great updates with cute pictures and followed all directions perfectly. Will definitely plan to book her again when we are next out of town! By far one of the best rovers we have ever had the pleasure of having.”
“Once again, Kacie has gone above and beyond in taking care of our Mister CJ Zachary! We could not be happier with her services and continue to feel so Blessed to know our boy is in such good hands!”
“Maria took excellent care of my dog, Sully! She was prompt, has excellent communication skills, asked all the important questions, is clearly very knowledgeable about pets, immediately developed a great rapport with Sully and did a great job! We will definitely ask her to take care of Sully again. Thanks, Maria!”
“Crystal was absolutely amazing with ELLA. ELLA took to Crystal as if she had been a part of our family forever. She was kind and nurturing understanding and genuine. I highly recommend Crystal.”
“Lauren has been so reliable and works so well with my girls. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Got into a jam and Lauren came through and helped me out so much. I’ve been using her for a while now and my girls and I both appreciate her very much!”
“Kelli was a great cat-sitter for our three cats. She was dedicated and made sure to spend time with all of them. One of our cats needs medication twice a day and she was able to administer it to her easily. She also played with our two younger cats, who love attention. When we came home, they appeared well taken care of. Would definitely book her again!”
“I cannot recommend Isabella enough as a petsitter. She went above and beyond to make sure our cat's needs were met. She's a sweet and caring pet sitter. She's trustworthy and reliable. Our cat needed to take medication and Bella was very receptive and quick to learn what she needed to do in order for our cat to be well. She also helped with any other small favors and tasks we requested. Her communication about her visits was excellent, she made us feel like we left our cat in the best possible hands. Our cat tends to be very shy but he immediately opened up to Bella, if you need someone to look after your cats look no further, they will be in the best hands with Isabella.”
About: It's important to know that someone cares about your pet when hiring them, i'd love the opportunity to take care of your furry family member! I've always had pets in the house since I was a kid and so it feels like second nature to take care of pets. I grew up with dogs, and now have a cat of my own and we are obsessed with our little Roo. It makes me feel so much better when I know he is in good hands when we are away, and so I would like to be that for you and your pet! I currently work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule during the week! I can create my own schedule that will work for the both of us. I first want to make sure I know all of the ins and outs of what my clients needs are for their pet. They are the ones who know the most about their animal and once I know what they need, I am very proactive and communicative about making sure their pet is safe and cared for. Open communication is key!
“Raeven is phenomenal! Since the first day our puppy has been so much calmer having Raeven check in with her and playing! We’ve only been using Raeven since and the quality of care to our pup has been amazing! Would recommend to anyone!”
About: PLEASE READ FULL PROFILE BEFORE YOU BOOK AND CHECK CALENDAR IF I AM AVIALABLE. Hello! Thank you for your interest. I am located in beautiful Guilford on RT. 77 .Very easy access from 95. I live with my 19 year old son. Your dog MUST be house trained, vaccinated, and on flea/tick prevention. And your doggy must love kids because we love dogs! We play fetch a lot and lots of walks in our big yard. I also walk a few miles a day and love the company! We also have a dog run. I usually take one dog at a time (unless otherwise specified) so they get our total attention and its a small house. We do not have our own dog. PLEASE PLEASE check my calendar for availability first. I do request a meet and greet,if you are a new client to make sure it is a good fit for us all. I am a teacher, so we follow a teacher daily schedule. So they MUST be ok home alone unless I am on school break and weekends. Please make sure your dog's information is filled out prior to booking. We hope to hear from you soon! Thank you! I am a teacher. So I follow the teacher schedule (hrs, off time). The dog must be able to be left alone during the typical school hours. Pets are inside with me. When I go out I like to take the dog with me-car rides, walks, baseball games etc. If its too hot I do have central air.
About: I have been using Rover on and off for years and have met so many amazing dogs and their owners. I am active and love to be outside. I grew up with pets and am very compassionate towards all animals, especially dogs and cats. I have taken care of neighbors' dogs and homes while growing up. I live in North Branford with my fiancé, our cat Charlie and our dog Roz. Charlie came from a shelter and loves to be around other animals. Sometimes she can act like a dog herself. Roz was adopted from Save-A-Lab and is the sweetest girl. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have! I look forward to meeting your pet! I’m a personal trainer so I am typically available between 11 am and 4 pm. With so much free time on my hands and my love for being active, I decided I’d walk dogs part-time! If a dog is outside in their fenced yard, I’ll never take my eyes off of them. Ya never know if they’ve been plotting their escape! 😏 I always keep a dog on a leash. I prefer a non-retractable leash.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in North Branford is $25

Isabella has watched Sugar for us several times now, and she is always excellent. Sugar absolutely loves her and is always so happy to see her. Isabella is kind, dependable, easy to communicate with, and always keeps us updated. She also goes above and beyond, whether it’s bringing in packages, checking on things around the house, or making sure Sugar is comfortable and happy. We always feel completely at ease knowing Sugar is with her. We highly recommend Isabella!
Gillian went above and beyond what we expected. It was very reassuring to have someone with a medical background there for our boys. She always provided photos for her visits and administered medication as needed. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
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.

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.
