About: Hi there! I’m Emily, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years. What started as helping friends and neighbors has grown almost entirely through word of mouth, and I’m incredibly grateful for the trust my clients continue to place in me. Many of the families I work with have been with me for years and regularly recommend me to others. I currently split my time betweenpet sitting and working as a Client Service Coordinator at a veterinary hospital, where I spend my day supporting pets and the people who love them. That experience has made me comfortable caring for pets of different ages, personalities, and routines while reinforcing the importance of clear communication and dependable care. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small pets. I know every animal is different. Whether your pet is full of energy, a little shy, or happiest sticking to a familiar routine, I take the time to get to know what makes them feel safe and comfortable. Before every new booking, I like to schedule a meet and greet so we can go over your pet’s routine, answer any questions, and make sure everyone feels comfortable. While you’re away, you can expect regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that your pet is being cared for as if they were my own. Pet care is something I intentionally build into my weekly schedule. I currently work part-time at a veterinary hospital, and with advance notice I’m able to arrange my schedule around bookings to give your pets the time and attention they deserve, making it a priority to keep their routine as consistent as possible. My goal is for your pets to feel comfortable, cared for, and stress-free while you’re away. I believe the best care starts with keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. Before every new booking, I like to schedule a meet and greet so we can go over feeding schedules, walks, medications, favorite activities, and anything else that helps your pet feel comfortable. While you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection based on their individual needs. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own; keeping things clean, secure, and following any instructions you’ve provided. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: My name is allie and I am going into my junior year at Elon University as a Psychology major and Business Administration minor. I have a cat who is 13 and a dog who is 9. I have adored taking care and spending time with animals for as long as I can remember. I am on summer break so I will be available almost anytime during the summer. Although I go back to school August 31st, I will notify of any times I will be unavailable ahead of time. I have a fenced yard as well as a dog and a cat to keep your pets company. I have a crate which can fit small-medium dogs. I also have lots of delicious treats!
“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!”


About: I have 6 years of dog sitting experience with over 10 different families and have cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I’ve watched puppies as young as 4 months old as well as senior dogs who require extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific care routines, and handling high-energy or larger breeds. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I also have two dogs of my own at home, so caring for animals has always been part of my daily life. Starting July 1, I’ll be working a hybrid research assistant position at Yale. I’ll typically be in the office on Mondays and working from home the rest of the week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and overnight care, including weekends. I always make sure pets receive lots of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and daily routines to make sure your pet feels secure and well cared for. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, from playful puppies to senior dogs who may need extra care and patience. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. Since I have pets at home, I currently do not offer boarding in my own home, but I’m happy to provide attentive care in your pet’s familiar environment.
“Aniya was wonderful with her care of Missy. We had to make quite a few changes to the schedule due to an unexpected family issue and she was extremely flexible. Aniya was on time for all her visits, sent me pictures and did lots of cuddles with Missy. Would definitely use again.”

About: I absolutely love all types of dogs and cats! Ever since I was 10 years old I have not lived without a dog in my house. I am flexible with your pets needs from walking to running and biking or taking them to the dog park. I have experience with administering medicine orally or injections. I have a dog of my own (who currently lives out of state at the moment with my boyfriend) so I know the responsibilities of what it takes to be a great dog owner, he is large and high energy so I am not intimidated by dogs with tough personalities. I am very reliable and will respond usually very quickly to texts or calls thank you in advance for considering me to walk/watch your pet! I am currently working Monday-Thursday 7am-5pm so I am mostly available on weekends Friday-Sunday. I have an hour for lunch so I can also check on a pet then but it is not guaranteed. I treat your pets as though they are my own! I know how hard it can be to leave them so I make sure they feel like they are on vacation too by giving them walks, cuddles and permitted treats.
About: Apart from my own pets and pets of family and friends; I’ve cared for pets through Trusted House Sitters for years. Being a teacher of young children for more than 25 years; I am a patient person with attention to detail. I’m currently in the vicinity for the summer so I am readily available. It’s nice to spend time with fur babies now that mine are in New York. I would be available to care for pets in their own home; where they are the most comfortable. Being able to maintain their routine is key.
“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!”

“Jordan is an absolutely amazing sitter. She is wonderful with our cats who clearly feel safe around her and trust her. She is extremely thoughtful (both about the cats and the house) and very detail oriented. Everything she does is super thorough and she cares a great deal about the animals. She thinks through every detail, anticipates problems, and offers to solve them before we even think of them. Her updates show careful insight into the cats' individual behaviors and personalities. She left the house cleaner than when she found it, with the cat areas spotless. She is kind and a lovely person to interact with. We were very grateful for her work-- it allowed us to take a trip in peace, knowing our cats were well cared for.”

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 Northford 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 .

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.

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.
