About: I started taking care of pets when we got a family dog when I was a kid. Since then, I help my mom with her pet-sitting business and have sat for her 3 dogs for a week+ at a time. I genuinely love taking care of dogs of all ages. I work a full-time job 7-3 M-F, and have afternoon pilot classes about twice a week, always scheduled in advance. Occasionally I go out of town for a weekend, again, scheduled well in advance. I would treat a client's pet as if they were my own, which is to say with lots of love, care, patience, respect, and kindness. And a lot of head pats (if and when applicable).
“Erin instantly made us feel comfortable leaving our 3 kitties for a week. She offered to come meet us and the cats before booking, and we loved her. One of our cats takes time to build trust and sometimes won’t eat for a bit while we’re away. Erin took the time to build a relationship with her and tried a few different things to help her feel comfortable eating for someone new. Erin spent time with all three cats, played with them, and helped them feel comfortable trusting her. We got pictures after every visit, and excellent communication about how they were doing. Our selective eater was coming out of hiding and eating her food consistently much quicker than she has for others who have come to feed them while we were away. Erin went above and beyond for our babies and made us feel so much better about being away from them. We have already rebooked with her for another trip. Thank you for much for everything, Erin!!!”
About: I am a veterinary nurse as well as a certified dog trainer. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and will treat your pup as one of my own! I work from home. I do virtual dog training sessions and only work one day out of the house, so very easy for me to take care of your pup in between sessions. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of toys as well as going for daily walks in our very safe neighborhood. I also have two very friendly medium size pups who love to play.
“Sandra was great!! My boy Logan is super skeptical with new people and it takes a little while for him to warm up, but she took her time with him and made him feel comfortable enough for their walk. I will definitely be reaching out to her in future! ☺️”
“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13 years old. Family and friends always ask me for help. I have grown up around animals and know their behaviors. I take care of 2 indoor cats on my own. I also help my mom and grandma with the strays around our house taking them to the vet spaying/neutering them. I originally wanted to be a veterinarian and did shadowing at the Northford Veterinary Clinic with Dr. Minott and dealt with medication and nail clipping. I understand the signs and situations of an animal that is scared or feels danger. I have helped foster kittens and puppies from strays, preparing them to be adopted. My mom has worked at the Central Veterinary Hospital for many years. She has taken me to work many times showing me the ins and outs of the hospital. I also have experience with oral medication helping my mom with our dogs! I’m enrolled into The University of Tampa full time, but I have the entire summer free from June-August. I am an active person and would love spending time out side with your pet! In your home I will respect your property/privacy. Whatever you need me to do for your furry pet I will do! I will make sure they’re safe, loved and cared for!
About: I have taken care of many types of dogs along the years, from the chill Sharpay mix to the emotional Frenchie and the chocolate lab. I love them all! I just moved out and miss my fur babies so much and would love to spread some love to the pets of the neighborhood. I also would love to get a pet of my own soon and don’t want to get rusty! I work full time but I am available after 5:30pm most days! I’m also openly available on weekends especially for standing appointments! I’m a big schedule girl so if I have it on the calendar it’s happening! I will meet your pet where they are in the home and not try to force them out of their comfort zone! It’s their house and I’m the visitor! I’m very comfortable with following detailed instructions from pet parents and would like to say I have a high emotional intelligence for animals especially dogs.
“Sabrina was great! I booked pretty last minute and they were able to accommodate and had no issues! She sent lots of pictures and was very responsive! Would love to have her walk my dog again anytime!”
“Tarah was great with our two kitties! She was so easy to communicate with and our cats were well cared for. She provided lots of good photos of them playing. I look forward to booking her again in the future - highly recommend!”
“Sarah is the best! She is always on time, cares about my pup and sends pictures! You can tell my dog likes her just by how comfortable she looks in her pics. We appreciate her so much !”
About: I have always been an animal lover and my family and friends go to pet care person. I want to extend my time, knowledge and love for animals to the community and your adorable fur babies :) I do work full time with 10 hours shifts. I am available most weekends and Mondays! I can easily provide morning and evening weekday pet care. Working at an animal hospital has taught me a lot about pet behavior. I will follow your needs and your pets needs to ensure they feel safe and cared for in the comfort of their own home and in my presence.
About: My love affair with animals started at 8 years old. Fast forward many years later and my passion for animals has only grown. I have 3 fur babies of my own and plan on adding more someday! I am available on weekends but also willing to make arrangements if needed for longer periods. Simply reach out and advise me of your needs. I will try my best to accommodate. Pups are a part of our family so their happiness and safety are mist important to me. Finding the best and safest way to accommodate our fur babies is paramount and varies from owner to owner.
“Jaqueline did an amazing job watching our cat, Juniper! I was nervous to leave Juniper while we were on vacation but Jaqueline made me feel so calm and confident. I got adorable pictures everyday and an update. Jaqueline was wonderful to work with and took great care of our little Juniper!”
“So happy we found Kimberly to take care of our fur baby. She is loving, reliable, and responsible... we trust her implicitly! She even sent us fantastic pictures which was so nice. I highly recommend her. You will be worry free.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 8 and haven’t met a dog I didn’t love. I spent the past 5 years living in NYC where I started dog walking and sitting part time before moving back to CT. I can handle all dogs of all ages and sizes. Accepting evening and weekend walks only. Same day / last minute bookings will be accepted depending on my availability. Fully booked for mid-day weekday walks. Kind and careful to all requests. Can take control in many different situations. Energetic and active where needed. Calming presence when it’s time to wind down.
“Carly did such a great job with my little pup! Went out of the way to get to know Bode and his personality. Sent photos, spent a lot of time playing with my little guy. I left a rundown of my puppy’s routine and she followed it to a T. I will be using her again for anytime I need drop in visits!, very trusting!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Northford
I had a great experience with Crystal and would definitely book her again! My dog absolutely loved her, and she was attentive, communicative, and followed all of my instructions. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even stayed longer than I had booked to make sure my dog was comfortable, which I truly appreciated. On top of that, she left me a thoughtful card and even washed my dishes before she left. She really went above and beyond, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 3,011 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Northford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Northford 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
