About: I’ve always had a love for animals and enjoy spending time with them! I have a dog of my own that I’ve been caring for over the past year, so I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. From feeding and going on walks to playtime and giving lots of attention, I’m familiar with the everyday responsibilities of caring for a dog. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own. My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands! 🐾💕 I’m currently in College and I also work part-time. I’m usually available in the day time, evening and nights on Friday and the weekends. I sometimes am available during the week as well when I come home from college. Feel free to reach out and ask for my current availability for the week, it varies depending on my classes. Although, most of the time i’m available. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I make sure pets are always in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they feel loved and cared for. I pay close attention to their needs, follow any instructions or routines provided by their owners, and make sure they receive plenty of attention. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and pictures to give you peace of mind. My goal is to make every pet feel safe and comfortable while treating them with the same love and patience I give my own dog! 🐾💕

About: My name is Taylor and I am a veterinary technician servicing the DMV area. I have been working with dogs specifically since I was 15 and cats since I was 18. I personally have a cat and have had dogs in the past, and I understand the stress put on the importance of finding someone that you can trust to watch your animals while you are away. Safety is my upmost concern and as a veterinary technician and a groomer, I am very experienced in dog and cat care and would love to babysit your little angel! I can't wait to meet you and thanks for visiting my profile! I currently work from home so I have more than enough time to devote to your pet and their individual needs. My hours are not necessarily tied to a desk or computer either, so I am able to do walks freely throughout the day. Depending on the customers request, I am able to accommodate most housing accomodations. There is a room specifically designated in the house for the pet for the duration of the stay, which has toys, beds, food and water as well as a TV. it’s also a daybed for me as well so that I am able to stay in the room with your pet. My backyard is large and it’s open, however I will be keeping pers on-leash anytime they are outside.

About: I have always grown up around all kinds of dogs, large and small. I understand they require times to not only go outside to use the bathroom but also get some energy out. I am always willing to spend some extra time with them to get energy out. I am currently working part time, therefore most weeks are rather predictable for me and I have time often in the mornings and evenings when pets are most needed to be cared for. Some days I have more availability than others allowing mid-day times as well. Being able to help out owners and pets is something I find enjoyable. All pets have different personalities and when caring for them in their own home I try to ensure I understand their body language to ensure safety for myself and the animal. Caring for the pet is what matters most to me, following what owners need for their pet is my top priority.

About: I have a variety of pet care experiences that set me apart from other sitters. I was a volunteer puppy raiser for the Guide Dog Foundation for two years. During this time I raised an 8-week old puppy and trained her to be a service dog. I have experience in potty training, crate training, basic obedience, socialization, and reactivity training. I have also fostered animals for local shelters including a bonded pair of cats, a 4-week old puppy, and a senior dog. I have experience in administering a variety of medications for both cats and dogs and am comfortable doing so. I have also personally owned a cat and currently own a young dog! I currently work a 9-5 job during the week. I work remotely 2 days a week and am available on weekends. I work very close to home, so I am able to come home during days I am in the office to care for pets if needed. I have an open apartment with room to play and snuggle with your pet. I am right by a park and lots of green space to play with your pet. I am also in a very friendly neighborhood to take dogs on walks. I have extra supplies if needed including a crate. I am happy to accommodate special requests if needed. I can also drop by and take care of your pet(s) at your home if you prefer!

Valerie provided excellent care for our dogs under extremely difficult conditions. Our vet had prescribed trazadone to help relieve Bubba's separation anxiety. Unfortunately, the trazadone caused him to have diarrhea. That caused him to develop a bad rash and infection despite Valerie's best efforts to keep him clean and comfortable. The demands on her time became too much, since she has a full-time job and several other pets to care for. None of us could have seen this coming, but eventually we had to bring on a new Rover sitter who could spend the time and effort to take care of Bubba. Of course we also had her discontinue the trazadone. Again none of the problem was Valerie's fault. She did all she could and more. We would certainly hire her again.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Pomfret

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Pomfret is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $31 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 12,699 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Pomfret. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Pomfret 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.

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.

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.

To find sitters in Pomfret with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pomfret. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
