“Sara is amazing, even stopping by my house for an unscheduled visit due to a mechanical glitch on my litter robot. I appreciate her going the extra mile to care for my fur babies even washing out used pet bowls, making sure there are no messes to clean up etc.”
“Melissa made us feel so comfortable knowing our dog was being so well taken care of. Her updates and pictures are great. She is reliable and compassionate. Thank you Melissa!”
About: I’ve lived with pets my whole life. I’m a biology major pursuing animal science and conservation. I love everything about them and I will be volunteering at the animal shelter this summer! I have experience taking care of old dogs, and hyper ones, from helping out my family and friends over the years. I work on campus, so with my semester ending, I am completely free this summer to focus on caring for these pets! Weekends can be busy but I will account for that in my availability. This isn’t just an opportunity to make money, it’s a way to help and give back to my community. I will care for pets in the clients home by offering play to have fun and be ready to sleep at bedtime! I will also care for them by respecting their space and boundaries when needed. If they are in need of a friend, I am there.
“Rhea was absolutely wonderful with my cat while I was away! She visited twice a day, sent me lots of adorable pictures, and always left little notes with updates. She spoiled him with extra playtime and treats, and I could tell he was so happy and comfortable in her care. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. I would definitely book with Rhea again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter!”
“Meghan did an amazing job checking in on our cat while we were away! She was professional, kept our house clean, and most importantly, our cat was happy and comfortable. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pet was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting all my life. I also fostered a mid-size mixed terrier. I have two cats of my own. I love how all animals have amazing personalities! I can do dog walking, cat check ins with waste clean-up or over nights which ever you may need. I know how to administer meds to both cats and dogs. It is so important to have your furry loved ones pampered while you are away! I am retired so my availability is flexible. I also enjoy sending photos of your four legged loved one while you are away! I have also watched chickens, turtles, guinea pigs, snakes and iguanas. Looking forward to hearing from you! I am retired so I have a flexible schedule! I can go during the day or stay overnight at your home. Whichever you feel most comfortable with would work! When I come to your house, besides walking/feeding, I do waste cleanup as well. Of course, playing is a must! I will definitely send photos and videos so you know how your furry family member is feeling!
“Excellent dog walker and cat sitter! Reliable, caring, and great with all 3 of my pets. Communication was outstanding, and I loved receiving updates and photos. My dog and cats were very comfortable with Kelsey and well cared for. Highly recommended and will definitely use her again!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life and am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I previously worked at a dog kennel, where I gained experience with feeding, exercise, and providing a safe environment for pets. I also regularly dog sit and cat sit for friends and family, caring for their pets as if they were my own. I'm reliable and committed to making sure every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away I decided not to work full time the summer before starting law school! So I have plenty to take care of animals and I am available on weekends too! I make sure to follow instructions thoroughly and prioritize safety for everyone in involved. For my home specifically, I have one dog who is very friendly and loves other dogs!
“Tara is the best! She has watched our cats many times now and takes such good care of them. I can tell she really enjoys spending time with them and giving them the attention they need while we’re away. We know we don’t have to worry about the cats while we’re away because they’re in good hands!”
“Veronica is a very sweet woman who is punctual, caring, and communicates well. She cared for my two cats while I was away. I’m very thankful I met her! She is great at what she does and I’ll absolutely hire her again. Thank you!!”
“Jodi is the best! She’s watched my cat a couple of times, and every time, she goes above and beyond. Seriously, my cat might love her more than me at this point! If you need a pet sitter, she’s the one to call.”
“Tinaclem was awesome! Annie is my “dogter” and I am extremely careful about where I leave her. From the beginning, I felt comfortable with Tinaclem, her family and her backyard 😍. Annie has a great time at her relaxation escape! I got daily updates, she went on walks, and kissed Tinaclem goodbye. I am so grateful I found someone trustworthy to watch her in the Danbury area … now I just need someone for my human daughter 😂. I full heartedly recommend Tinaclem! Thank you!!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life! My family and then myself have adopted and taken care of dogs and cats of all ages but more recently, I have adopted senior dogs and taken care of all their needs. I work at Western Connecticut with lots of flexibility in my schedule! I’m usually available to come and go during the day if needed and only live a few minutes from work. The complex I live in is very dog friendly! I had my dog with there until she passed. There are lots of designated dog walking areas, dog grooming and wash rooms.
About: I have over 7 years of hands-on experience in animal welfare, working with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. In my role as an animal care and transport coordinator, I’ve been responsible for feeding, administering medications, maintaining clean and safe environments, and monitoring overall health and behavior. I have extensive experience with special needs pets, animals with behavioral challenges, and rescue animals, and I approach every situation with patience, confidence, and compassion. My background has strengthened my ability to read animal body language, manage high-energy or anxious pets, and respond quickly to their needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits easily into my routine as I’m a local UConn student living in the area. I have a flexible class schedule, which allows me to plan my days around visits, walks, or check-ins. This flexibility also makes it easy for me to accommodate different times and provide consistent, reliable care throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, litter box cleaning, and providing plenty of attention, playtime, and enrichment. I also make sure the home stays clean and secure, and I send frequent text updates with lots of pictures to help ease owners’ minds and keep them connected while they’re away.
“Briana was absolutely amazing to work with and took incredible care of my 2 cats while we were away. She was attentive and went above and beyond to ensure they were well fed and taken care of. We will absolutely be using Briana again for all future cat sitting!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Putnam Lake
Sara was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She took her time to meet and greet my fur family, to ensure that everything went smoothly during my travels. She also sent great updates, so that I knew everyone was taken care of. When weather became troublesome, she was in touch in real time and willing to make accommodations to make sure that everything was cared for. If you’re someone like me, who needs updates and reassurance and is very detail oriented when it comes to your pet’s care, I highly recommend Sara!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Putnam Lake on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,400 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Putnam Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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 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.
