About: My experience includes working with horses, donkeys, sheep, chickens, fish, reptiles, birds and more. I have my own dog Paul, and I've owned dogs and cats in the past as well. My most recent certification is in wildife rehabilitation, and I work part-time as an educator at an aquarium. I surround myself with animals and I hope to do so for the rest of my life. I work on Sundays and Mondays, volunteer on Thursdays, and may be called in on other days. I am responsible for my own animals at home as well. As long as I have time to plan for animal care for others, I will make that care a priority. Clearly written instructions on specific care for your animals is appreciated, but I can use my knowledge and experience to make the right calls if anything comes up.
“Miranda did an excellent job taking care of our pups and keeping an eye on our house. She was professional and maintained great communications. We really enjoyed getting the pictures while we were gone. The dogs all seemed to like her, including our one who normally takes awhile to trust people.”
“Angela was amazing! Met my babes last minute and totally just loved them and treated them as her own. It was overnights and I came back to two exhausted pups. I will highly recommend her to family, friends, and those of you that don’t know her yet!”
“Amy was marvelous! Our dogs took to her immediately, and she was instantly comfortable with them as well. Throughout her stay, Amy sent pictures and let us know how things were going. Not only were the dogs happy and well-cared for, but Amy left our house exactly as she found it. high recommend Amy, for her professionalism and her personal warmth.”
About: I was born in a household where I was surrounded by dogs. I have had 5 rescue dogs throughout my life. I started dog walking when I was ten years old, and have been dog walking/ dog sitting ever since. My family and I have a dog named Belle, who has been through extensive training, making me familiar with training. I’m also familiar with dogs of all ages ranging from puppies to seniors. I am currently a college student with a flexible schedule. I am on summer break, and would love to help out in anyway I can. Based on the service I am offering, I am familiar with crate/leash training. I am comfortable taking the dog/dogs for walks when needed! I can also feed the dogs as well.
“Mike is the absolute best dog sitter you will find! He’s so attentive and sent so many updates/pictures/videos, I knew my dog was having the time of her life with him!! He will be my first go to when Lola needs a sitter from now on, he’s incredible!!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for both a dog and a cat, so I’m very comfortable with pets of different personalities, energy levels, and needs. In addition to my own pets, I regularly dog sat a corgi named Allen for two years, giving me hands-on experience with consistent routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and providing lots of attention and care. What sets me apart is how attentive and patient I am with animals! I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also great with maintaining structure, whether that’s sticking to feeding schedules or making sure energetic dogs get the exercise they need. I currently work part-time, but I have flexible availability during the week and weekends. I am unavailable on Friday nights, but I’m happy to help with mornings, afternoons, and other evenings. I’ll always communicate clearly and make sure your pet’s care fits reliably into my schedule. I prioritize a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet. I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free, and I’m always attentive to their needs. I make sure doors and leashes are secure, provide plenty of care and supervision, and communicate with you so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve taken care of friends and family’s furry friends for the last 15 years. They have relied on me to walk, feed, and take care of their pets often. Until recently, I had my own senior dog and had taken care of puppies, adults, seniors, and even dogs with disabilities. I currently work part time and am able to fit in walks or drop in visits around my regular daily schedule. I usually only know my schedule two weeks in advance. I am not able to take care of your pets in my home but am happy and able to keep them comfortable in their own space!

I am willing to offer whatever your pet needs! Whether that be exercise, grooming, socialization, enrichment activities, or feeding! It varies depending on your animals needs.
“Choosing a pet sitter online can feel like a leap of faith, but Emily made it an absolute breeze. I was initially nervous about having someone stay in our home, but after seeing her glowing reviews, her high number of repeat clients, and having a great meet-and-greet, I felt completely confident in my choice. Emily is a true professional. She handled a complex medication schedule for one of our pups—administering tablets three times a day—which was a huge relief since that midday dose is critical. She kept us updated with regular feedback and photos, and I really appreciated that she reached out with questions when needed; it showed she truly cared about getting things right. The real "above and beyond" moment happened when a forecasted 1" of snow turned into an unexpected 8–10" blizzard overnight. Without being asked (and way beyond her duties), Emily took it upon herself to shovel our path and driveway. Emily clearly goes the extra mile. If you want peace of mind and a sitter who treats your home and pets like her own, hire her!”
“Anna is a reliable pet sitter. All three of our furry family members are relaxed and happy when we return, especially our golden retriever who enjoys her walks and outings with Anna.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, as well as cats and other small pets. I’m attentive, patient, and adaptable to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, or simply companionship and cuddles, I’m dedicated to making sure they feel happy and comfortable. My patience and calm approach are especially helpful when caring for puppies who are still learning routines and senior dogs who may need extra support, gentleness, and attention. I work full-time during the week, which allows me to offer pet care services after 5 PM Monday through Thursday, along with open availability on weekends. I’m also available for overnight care and happy to accommodate special requests, including extended stays and flexible care arrangements whenever possible. I always prioritize safety and comfort while caring for animals. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times. I supervise pets during walks, playtime, meals, and outdoor time. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions and routines, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any household rules. I live in a clean, safe, and pet-friendly home where pets can feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for.

FAQs for House Sitting - Quonochontaug
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 565 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Quonochontaug. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Quonochontaug walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Quonochontaug maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Quonochontaug 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
