âJessica and her husband where fantastic with our two dogs and cat. They sent great pics and updates during each visit. Really appreciate what an awesome job they did highly recommended!â

About: Iâve had my dog Kal for nearly a decade now. He was a rescue from the South. I have experience fostering dogs including those with special medical needs. I am comfortable administering oral medication and injections. Iâll be working from home indefinitely and I just moved to a new house with a large fenced in yard. I have a 9 anda half year old puppy named Kal-El and while I would love to get another dog for him to play with, dog sitting is the best option at the moment. Iâll love your dog like my own!!! Working from home allows me to be able to take your dog out for walks frequently. Northwest Park is close to me so your pets will have plenty of exercise! And with a dog and a large yard, your dog will have plenty of space and opportunity to socialize. Dogs are allowed on the furniture unless you donât want them there.
About: I've helped take care of multiple clients and had a dog of my own my whole childhood and have loved taking care of others animals by cooking for them, playing with them and taking pictures! I'm a stay at home mom with 4 and 8 year old kids so we enjoy walking and playing with the dogs. My husband works from home and my brother lives with us at our house, so we have plenty of space and time for attention. i moved into a house three months ago and there is plenty of yard space, a back deck, and room for multiple dogs to have their own space. We live on a cuddle sack, so itâs also great walking dogs down and back.
About: Iâve always wanted my own pet, but because my friends had their own; Iâve been able to take care of pets since 2015. I have an abundance of love to give to my friends pets everytime I see them. My friends have trusted to leave their pets with me to take care of and pets love to see their aunty (me) when I come over âşď¸ Iâm currently working part time (from home mostly) & contract (in person). Depending on everyoneâs schedule Iâm pretty flexible. I try to have breaks around 12-2pm, and finish the rest of my work day around 7pm. Depending on the house, I let pets out in the backyard to potty or I will walk them around the neighborhood. I feed them at their designated time. I make sure to play and love on them through out the day.
âMaegan was very attentive to my pups while I was gone and ensured they were happy, fed, and cared for. She kept in touch and made sure I was kept informed throughout. I would definitely hire her again!â


About: Iâve loved dogs my whole life! Iâve been in the animal care industry for about 7 years now ! Working in Kennels, Vet Clinics, volunteering at the animal shelter when I was younger and now Iâm a dog groomer (3years). I have lots of experience with many breeds and sizes! No dogs too big or too small! I can trim nails if needed or even offer you my services as a dog groomer :) Iâm currently working full time but I am a dog groomer so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Thursday and Sundays Iâm available any time ! Monday-Wednesday I would be available after 2pm. Friday and Saturday availability is after 1pm. I am big on affection! I love to cuddle up with my cat (Sauce) and yours! If youâll give me a chance ! I love to hike and be outdoors! I have a dog named Daisy Mae and sheâs always been a fan of taking trips to the creek or just taking hours long walks just sniffing everything she sees! I make sure sheâs tick free when we finish especially! I am a very outgoing person and very patient when it comes to really everything! I will make sure to treat your doggie just like mine with lots of love and extra attention! I tend to get along with bigger dogs a lot because they are high energy and love to get out and move !

âLiz is amazing! She was incredibly attentive and caring with our cats and kept us updated throughout the whole process, which really put my mind at ease while I was out of the country. She went the extra mile, and weâre so happy we found her. Thank you, Liz! đđąâ

âAston has become our dog trainer and Rover sitter! My pups absolutely love him and he does an incredible job making sure theyâre well cared for, all while reenforcing their training! Highly recommend his services!â

âJan and Jamie were great during their drop-ins with our cat and we're respectful to my home during the visit. Would highly recommend their services and reach out again in the future.â
About: I cared for the family dog for 5 years, she was 7 when we rescued her after a breeder no longer wanted her. We wanted to give her the best years for her retirement. I then opened my home to fostering dogs a year later, to give another pup the chance to learn and experience the joys of being a family dog. I have since fostered a handful of different dogs ranging from a 3 month old puppy to a prospective agility dog, as well as a 65lb gentle giant. Whether itâs taking it slow with your senior pup or multiple daily walks/enrichment for your high drive bestie, I can do it all! Available day and night. Your pup, if crate trained, would be alone for a maximum of 3-hours, when needed. If not crate trained a secure room will be utilized in emergencies for a maximum of 1-hour. I have multiple sized crates both soft and metal. If your pup is house trained free roaming will always be allowed. If your dog has trouble acclimating and/or is not house trained, a play pen or crate may be utilized to minimize clean up from accidents. Sleeping on the bed is preferred for me, but I respect boundaries and/or crate training if needed. Dogs are never allowed off leash when outdoors, for their security and mine. Located on a quiet street with a backyard. Access to parks and trails within 20 minutes for more active dogs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Poquonock
Sophie was amazing! She took such great care of Lark, paid attention to every detail, and communicated wonderfully throughout my trip. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Lark was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Sophie to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter!

Lee is the BEST. My babies are so comfy with them and I never have to worry theyâre not okay with me gone. On top of everything I ask of Lee (which is pretty detailed, ha), they stay longer if my pup needs extra support, details each check-in with a message, troubleshoots, and never makes me feel like a crazy dog/cat mom. If I could give Lee 6 stars, I would.

We are new to the area and needed someone to drop in on our dog Beau. Liz was great. She came on time, made sure Beau was fed and let out and provided plenty of pictures of their time together! I will definitely be reaching out when we need some help with Beau again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Poquonock is $30 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $39 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 petâs 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 2,178 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Poquonock. 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 petâs routine and the sitterâs 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 petâs 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.
If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Poquonock. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
