“We had such a great experience with Mckenzie! From the very beginning, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our puppy was in good hands. We also loved the photo updates. We came home to a relaxed, happy puppy, and that says everything. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Julie is super attentive, as soon as I put in my request for a visit she responded with her schedule. My pet is very shy , so to see that he took to Julie on her first visit was heart warming. Thank you Julie for taking care of Leo while I was away 💜”

She gave them plenty of attention and followed all of the instructions left for her and sent a ton of great pictures which made us feel very comfortable having left them in her care!

About: If I can manage 30 middle schoolers, I can handle your dog." Hi there! My name is Michael, and I am a Cheshire local with 18 years of experience as a teacher, a dad of three kids, and most importantly — a dog dad of two. Caring for animals is not a side hustle for me; it is simply an extension of the way I live my life. My two dogs, Laney and Monster Truck, are at the center of our family. They go on walks, they cuddle on the couch, and yes — they are absolutely spoiled. When your pet stays with me, they become part of that same routine. What you can expect from me: 📍 Daily photo and text updates — I know you miss them. 🏡 A home environment with a yard, kids, and two friendly resident dogs. 🚶 Regular walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention. 🧠 Patience, structure, and consistency — 18 years in a classroom will do that to you. 💬 Clear, prompt communication before, during, and after every booking. A little more about our home: I am available primarily on weekends and summers, which means when I have your pet, I am fully present — not squeezing in visits between a 9-to-5. Your dog gets my undivided attention. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. My own two dogs are a larger weiner dog and a medium sized hound/boxer mix, so I understand what it means to manage both ends of the spectrum. Whether you need a dog walker, a drop-in visit, or a full boarding stay while you travel, I would love to meet your pup. Let's set up a free meet-and-greet so your dog can check me out first. Your pet deserves someone who treats them like part of our pack. Pet care is already woven into my daily life. As a dog dad of two, my mornings start with a walk and my evenings end with one. Adding your pet to that routine is natural and effortless for our family. On weekends and during the summer — when I am available for bookings — I am home and fully present, which means your dog is never an afterthought. They are part of the day from start to finish. What you can expect from me: 📍 Daily photo and text updates — I know you miss them. 🏡 A home environment with a yard, kids, and two friendly resident dogs. 🚶 Regular walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention. 🧠 Patience, structure, and consistency — 18 years in a classroom will do that to you. 💬 Clear, prompt communication before, during, and after every booking.
“Lauren did a great job with my dog! He gets excited when he first meets people and seemed to warm up to her quickly. She arrived on time and gave me updates & photos of my dog. I’d hire her again.”
“Tatum was soooo great with my quirky dog! She totally went above and beyond to make sure my nervous nelly was comfortable enough to eat and do her business. She also kept me updated on everything that was going on with my pup and my kitty. I’ll definitely work with Tatum again!”
“Ashley has been a god send to our family (and our pup). She has helped our family out last minute on many occasions, and when we are both at work my mind is at peace knowing Ashley is scheduled to care for our dog. She is reliable and I know my dog is in good hands when she is sitting her. I can’t say thank you enough for her help.”
About: As a dedicated pet sitter, my experience goes beyond the basics- I specialize in fostering dogs of all ages and needs which has equipped me with a unique skill set that sets me apart from other sitters. My passion for animals is endless. I grew up with dogs and I've had several of my own. I have a passion for helping dogs with health impairments, providing them with gentle, attentive care they require. From administering medications to managing special diets, I ensure every furry friend feels comfortable and loved. With younger high-energy pups, I focus on positive reinforcement helping them develop good habits while channeling their energy into fun activities. My playful approach keeps them engaged. For older dogs, I provide a common soothing environment. I understand their specific needs, from mobility challenges to dietary restrictions, and I'm skilled at adapting our activities to ensure they enjoy their time without strain. Having fostered numerous dogs, I'm adept at assessing individual personalities. Whether your pet needs a playmate, a gentle caretaker, I am here to provide a nurturing and enriching experience that caters to their unique needs. Trust that your pet will be in the best of hands! I am a full-time teacher, so my availability is mostly on the weekends or during our long breaks such as Thanksgiving break, Christmas break, April vacation, and long weekends. I have evenings free to let out animals or walk them as well. I live in a 900 square foot apartment that has an open floor plan. My dog is happy here and has free roam of the place. She loves a cuddle companion, but I am also equipped to create your dog if needed.
“Alex watched my dogs for several days while I was out of town and took fantastic care of them. She played fetch every time she went by, sent several pictures, and let me know anything out of the ordinary. I would highly recommend letting Alex take care of your fur babies!”
About: I’ve had pets of all kind since the age of 4 and taken love for them since. I’ve had about 5 dogs, 4 birds 3 red ear slider turtles, multiple fishes and 1 cat throughout. I work full time as a properties manager. But in my spare time I would like to walk some dog as i truest enjoy walks, sitting and a fun time. I would care for your pest as if they were my own(of course respecting all your standards). Communication is key as I would like all expectations to be met and transparency across. To be trusted with a love one is a responsibility I take very seriously

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mike! I trust very few people with my 3 dogs — Barry (12), Fiona (3), and George (1) — because they all have completely different personalities and needs. Mike has been incredibly patient, caring, and attentive with each of them, and it’s obvious how much he genuinely loves animals. I know they are in great hands when they’re with him. One of the things I appreciate most is how dependable and accommodating he is. Even with very last-minute requests, Mike always does his best to fit me into his schedule. He is also fantastic with communication. He keeps me updated before, during, and after visits, and always sends pictures of the pups on walks and playing. I highly recommend Mike, my dogs love him!

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 Plantsville 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.
