“Shes a great communicator but most importantly took care of my pets like theyre her own. I never doubted my pets were well cared for and thats the most important thing!”
About: I’ve loved being around pets for as long as I can remember, and growing up with dogs taught me just how special they are. Caring for animals is my absolute passion! I am dedicated to providing a safe, loving, and fun environment for your pups, and I can't wait to meet your fur babies! Because I maintain a fairly flexible schedule, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I structure my day around your pet's established feeding, walk, and play schedules. Whether your pet needs early morning check-ins, midday play, or evening snuggles, I'm able to prioritize their specific needs so they stay happy, comfortable, and on track while you're away. Your pet’s health, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal in my care with the same patience and devotion I give my own. Every pup is unique, so I customize my approach to fit their specific needs—whether that means high-energy playdates, quiet 1-on-1 neighborhood walks, or specialized care for timid and senior dogs. I maintain a secure, calm environment and keep you updated every step of the way with photos and notes for complete peace of mind.
“Paris is terrific! Zane, who is quite shy as he is new to my home, took an immediate liking to Paris. He cuddled with her every time she came to visit him. She took great care of him and kept me well informed either pictures after every visit. I am fortunate to have found Paris and I will always ask her back to take care of Zane whenever I am away!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve always loved spending time with dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I also have experience caring for dogs while babysitting for families, including feeding them, taking them outside, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention. I’m responsible, dependable, and would love the opportunity to help care for your dog like they’re my own! I’m currently a graduate student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule with plenty of openings between my classes. This gives me a lot of availability throughout the week, and I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s normal routine! I always want pets to feel safe and comfortable around me. I allow each animal to move at their own pace when getting to know me and give them the time and space they need to build trust. I never force interactions and will always respect your pet’s boundaries while making sure they feel cared for and loved.

“Ace was fantastic—he got to know the personalities and quirks of our two senior cats quite well, and tailored his visits accordingly. Great guy, will definitely call on him again when needed!”
About: I have volunteered at the Cleveland Animal Protective League as a cat adoption specialist for the last 2 years. I know what you’re thinking- Cleveland? Yep! But I’m making the big move to the New Haven area to start a life with my boyfriend who moved last year to start a job as a professor. I work a fully remote job in cancer research (available for quick day time visits!). Back to cats- as an adoption specialist at a high volume shelter, I have interacted with HUNDREDS of cats and kittens. I have experience with FELV, FIV, CH, limb differences, cats rescued from unfortunate situations, chronic grumpy disease (my favorite), chronic scaredy cat disease, etc. I would love nothing more than to meet your cat and scoop their poop 😄😉 I work from home and have a very flexible schedule! Let me love on your fur babies while you’re away at the office! I’m happy to stop by as many times as you need. I promise to treat your fur babies as if they are my own. Their safety and happiness is my number one concern. Only good vibes.
“Kejda was great and so good with our puppy! I felt comfortable and trusted her with her and Roxie had a great time. 10/10 would recommend & have her watch our animals again!”
“Heather has been a communicative, responsible, and caring caregiver for our two kittens. She always sends updates and photos that let us know they are happy and cared for. We have really enjoyed working with her!”
About: I’ve fostered dogs for over six years and have cared for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, shy pets, high energy dogs, and everything in between. I focus on making every pet feel comfortable and loved. I’m a college student athlete with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m able to give both cats and dogs consistent attention, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for! I live in a clean, pet friendly apartment with six other girls who all love animals and respect pet boundaries. My home is safe, calm, and supervised, and I’m careful about routines, doors, leashes, and making sure every pet feels comfortable and secure.
About: I've had pets since a young age from lizards, cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, turtles, guinea pigs and birds. I have a small dog of my own so I know I can give your pets lots the love and attention too whether they have fur, scales, or feathers! I work from home so all pets get get a lot of attention during the day. For dogs staying in my home, they get 3 walks a day in the morning, during my lunch break, and in the evening. I work from home so all pets get a lot of attention during the day. I love to spend my time after work going on walks and would love a buddy(s) to come with me! I am available from dog walking or in home visits after 5:15pm during the week and anytime on weekends. I think the best way to care for a pet is do exactly what they're comfortable with. I intend to have very open communication with pet parents to understand the likes, dislikes and behaviors of their fur-babies to make sure that they feel safe and comfortable. I do have a dog of my own so I also want to make sure all your pets get along with my Jax, who loves other animals.
“Both my cat and I love JJ! As nervous as I was to leave my beloved kitty behind as I traveled for the holidays, I knew when I met JJ that I would have nothing to worry about. Clearly an animal-lover, JJ made sure my cat was well taken care of physically and emotionally. Each day she sent me photos of him doing a variety of things - eating, drinking, playing, lounging - so I knew he was happy and healthy. Even though my cat is typically shy around strangers, he warmed up to JJ after the first visit. I would absolutely recommend JJ for any of your pet care needs. If I ever have to leave town without my cat again, JJ will be the person I trust to care for him while I'm gone. Thank you, JJ!”
About: I’ve had dogs of all sizes myself, and have friends and family whose cats I’ve watched as well. I am extremely active and can walk/run dogs all day long! I’d love to help your dogs be more active with me! I am a college student who works on campus, but I do have afternoons and weekends free. I have a reliable vehicle so I can make it to appointments. I’d love to get on a weekly schedule of dog walking to make activity normal for their lives and mine! I’m very respectful and professional about being invited into someone’s home to care for their pet. I’m a stickler for rules and standards, and will always communicate what the proper care is before I arrive for your pet.
“Dustin is the absolute best! It’s only because of him I was able to leave for two weeks and enjoy time with my loved ones for the holidays. He is trustworthy, consistent, and reliable. He was patient with my girl, Marshmallow, and accommodated to her needs. My family and I are so grateful for Dustin, and I plan to rebook him in the future.”
About: I’ve had multiple pets throughout my life whom I loved and took care of well through all stages of their lives. I’ve worked with dogs on basic commands and cared for my dog that passed from years of cancer. Most of my care was toward my own pets, but I love all animals! I am currently home for the summer, and I have a pretty open schedule to walk, check in on, and pet sit! My schedule is very flexible to work with whatever time I’m needed. I have a fenced in yard with grass, as well as a pool in the backyard. I no longer have any pets of my own, but many toys!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Northford is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $16 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
