“This was our first time working with Olivia and she was absolutely amazing! Our kitties were fed, played with, cared for, cuddled, and loved daily. Our Siberian cat is generally skittish with strangers and takes a while to warm up. To our surprise, Ruby was immediately obsessed with Olivia! We were able to relax during our trip knowing our cats were well taken care of. We cannot say enough great things about our experience and could not recommend Olivia more. She is respectful, honest, kind, timely, and a true animal lover. She will be our pet sitter for all future travel plans :)”

“Could not ask for more with Emily. She did an amazing job with our cat Slinky, 16 years old and needing meds. Her passion for caring for animals is evident- Slinky was cranky on first visit and her best pal on the last! Besides caring for Slinky and hanging out with him for awhile on each visit, making sure he had food and water and meds, she cleaned everything and sent us great pics of Slinky each visit. Emily is a passionate dedicated care giver and we hope to have her help us out again! Thanks Emily!”

“Thomas did a great job with my 2 cats. They are very shy creatures, and don’t come out of hiding for most of the sitters that I have tried, but they were very friendly for him and got lots of snuggles. It is good to know that I have a reliable cat sitting option who my cats really like.”

About: No rule will be bent, no abnormal behavior will go unreported, and no tummy will be left unrubbed! I've done it all! Boarding, overnights, drop in visits, walks, appointment escort, etc... I just love animals. I've never met an animal I didn't get along with and never feel better than when one returns that love. I know it can be challenging and, frankly, scary to trust someone else with your pets- they're family after all! That's why I consider the role of pet sitter as the most important part of my day. You want pictures? You got 'em! You need updates? Expect a detailed text! You want someone to reassure your babies to not worry and their mom(s)/dad(s) will be home soon? I will be as clear with them as if they were a human child! I get it, you worry they will feel scared when you aren't home. That's why I am here. Food, walks, and playtime are all well and good, but I believe it is just as important to make them feel as comfortable as I can with as much reassurance as I can give. I am a weekly volunteer at Kitty Harbor in Griswold so when it comes to cats, I am experienced in all sorts of mishaps- litter accidents, dirty butt, scratch boo boos, and more. I am also experienced in administering medication. Of course, if you're kitty has a way that works for them, then that's how we'll get it done! As for the pups, I am always excited to get a chance to go for a walk or even a full on hike! Exercise is always more fun when a four legged friend is involved. If you're training a young puppy, or even an old fellow, just let me know exactly when I should be disallowing and you can feel comfortable they won't be learning any bad behavior from me. One last note: boundaries are so important. Every animal is different and every animal has their own limits. If your kitty doesn't like to be pet, then no pets they shall have. If your dog doesn't like to be watched while they eat, then my eyes shall be shut. I hate being stressed, why would I put that on anyone else? I work a 9-5 in Norwich so I am available early mornings and evenings for visits. If you're in Norwich, I can be available mid day for a lunch time drop in as well. I have reliable transportation and a desire to start and/or end my day with furry friends. As for weekends, I am always booked afternoon into the evening on Sunday for my time with the kitties at the Kitty Harbor, but other than that I can have plenty of room on the weekends to add your babies in to my routine. Routine and boundaries. Whatever they are used to, that's what they'll get from me! I hate being stressed, why would I want to do anything to make an animal unnecessarily stressed?

About: I bring a naturally calm, grounded presence into every home I enter. Pets are incredibly intuitive, and I prioritize creating a peaceful, steady environment where they feel safe and secure. Whether your dog is anxious, high-energy, or just needs consistency, I focus on maintaining a structured routine with patience and gentle guidance. My goal is for your pet to feel relaxed and comfortable, and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in stable, attentive hands. I’m currently in school and have a lot of time in between classes! I have tons of times to take care of your best friends! When pets stay in my home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured environment with consistent routines to help them settle in smoothly. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and supervised play, and I always monitor pets while outside. If your dog is crate-trained or prefers a crate for rest, I can easily accommodate that to maintain their normal routine. My goal is to create a peaceful, secure space where your pet feels at ease while you’re away.

About: I'm currently the behavior manager for our dog team at Our Companions Animal Rescue. I work at our sanctuary where I manage a team of competent handlers and I work with reactive/aggressive dogs. I'm currently working on getting my CPDT. If you hire me, I promise your canine companion will receive the care, compassion, patience, and attention they deserve. I'm generally always free Sundays and Mondays. I do work full-time Tuesday to Saturday, so my availability is somewhat limited. I can provide my dog walking/activity assistance after 4pm on those work days, except Fridays. Due to my long history and experience working with dogs, I have the ability to read dogs very well to detect if they are anxious, fearful, or uncomfortable. My goal is to make sure your dog gets exactly what they need, whether it's a certain activity they enjoy, training they need, or a certain destination they love for their outdoor time. Positive reinforcement is the name of the game.

“Paloma was available on short notice for an evening drop-in visit and even called ahead to ensure proper care instructions were followed. She was punctual and responsive while taking care of our senior dog and young puppy, even checking on our cats as well. She left the house in order and the pets happy. We will definitely book again!”

About: I've cared for animals my whole life, including those with medical needs or on specialized diets. I'm used to the dirty work and want your pet to feel extra cared of! I'm used to friendly pets or those who need more space. I can handle it all and will communicate all updates to you quickly. I have early and evening availability until mid-August and then open availability. I'm happy to do early early mornings or later nights, and have a vehicle so can get wherever you need. I've been a house-sitter for years and respect your space immensely! I'm a trusted caregiver in my day-job (all my jobs have required background and CORI checks) and I communicate any and all changes, so you never feel left out of the loop.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life: dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, you name it! My smallest dog ever was a chihuahua and my largest is a cane corso. My home was also a foster home and we had many litters of puppies and kittens come through on their way to their forever families! I work full time so I am primarily available on weekends, but I do work from home once a week if you need a last minute walk or check in on a pet! I am happy to take your pet outside, feed them, play with them, go for a walk or to get some exercise! I am unable to take them in my home but happy to work with you to fit you and your pet’s needs.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and attentive pet lover who truly enjoys caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or pet sitting, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. From energetic pups who need long walks and playtime to older pets who prefer a slower pace and extra patience, I’m confident in adapting to each pet’s unique needs. I’m also comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, crate training, and reinforcing any habits or routines you already have in place. My services include walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention to make sure your pet stays happy and stress-free. I understand how important consistency is, so I do my best to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of needs, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and respectful of both your home and your pet’s space. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priority. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐾 I currently work hybrid, Monday thru Thursday at office from 8-4 with ability to come home for lunch or end day early if needed. Fridays, I work remote. Sundays I got to church and then pretty much a home body rest of the day I prefer to stay at clients home so the fur baby is never alone. I’m currently not taking any pets to my place as it’s a rented room, but will absolutely be happy to stay the night

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 .

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.

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.
