“Sandy was super accommodating, responsive and very sweet. I could tell she really listened to my detailed instructions for both my dogs haha would definitely book again!”
“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.”
“We could not be happier with Kacie! She took care of our Maine Coon for a little over a week and did a phenomenal job. We felt completely at ease knowing our guy was being so well taken care of! And from the looks of things, he was a very happy camper as well! Kacie is responsible, kind, compassionate, caring and extremely attentive. Not to mention, incredibly flexible also. We would highly recommend Kacie for your pet’s needs and will also most definitely be using Kacie again for ours!!”
“Kelli was exactly what we are looking for! She followed all of our instructions and made some helpful suggestions that improved the life of our cat without being imposing. She even brought some new litter when we ran out! And she was able to provide insulin injections with very minor instruction. I will continue to trust her with the life and well being of our cat.”
“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!”
“Anne-Marie is wonderful. My cat can be a little cautious when she meets new people, but at first sight, she walked right up to her asking for pets. She was on time every day and provided a variety of pictures to let me know my cat was in good hands. Would highly recommend!”
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.
“Crystal was absolutely amazing!!!! She was attentive to detail, reliable, kind & professional! She truly went above and beyond! Plus her photos and updates were top tier! Lol I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting/dog walking needs!”
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.
“Tyler is fantastic! Super caretaking for my cat over a whole week of meals, medications - lots of attention to detail. A very caring, attentive presence that my normally shy cat really responded to.”
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life and have experience walking, feeding and caring for dogs and cats. Small or large breeds. I have two cats of my own and grew up with dogs who I love dearly. My animals are my babies and I promise to treat your pets as my own. I have open availability at the moment so I can be on call when needed. I’m very flexible with my time and can work with you depending on your needs. I am flexible to your pets schedule and routine, tell me what they require, times they need feedings, any medications, walk schedule etc and we can make it work!
“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.”
“Lauren is always reliable! She’s is quick to message back and shows up on time! One of my dogs has an issue with reactivity and Lauren was willing to meet her ahead of time to make sure they would get along and they did! My dogs love her now and are very excited when she comes to let them out.”
“This is the second time we’ve worked with Olivia and she’s lovely! She was super attentive to the kitties and the house - saved us a saga with burst pipes thanks to how thorough she is.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments through my background in veterinary medicine.

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.

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.
