Giselle was great with our two dogs. Very patient with our less social one and played fetch with our more active one. She communicated very well with us and followed all the instructions we left. Would recommend for sure.

Emilia was wonderful with my dog! She took extra time to get to know him, learn his routine, and make sure we were both comfortable before even taking a dime. I really felt I could trust her with my dog and knew he would be in good hands. She took such good care of him while I was gone and updated me during each visit which was super comforting. Will deff book with her again!

Eve was amazing when she looked after my cat! Prior to the session, she asked questions and made notes to ensure she didn’t forget anything. During my time away, she took great care of Grace - doing everything I asked and sending lots of photos/videos. Absolutely would book with her again!

About: I have taken care of animals for 15 years and I am very passionate about making animals feel safe, comfortable and loved. I grew up with both cats and dogs and so I am able to take care of both. From pugs, mastiffs, labradors, to cats, I can do it all. I give medication, deep-clean litter boxes, play with you pets and overall make sure your pet feels at ease while you’re away. I am currently a full time employee that travels every Thursday-Saturday so I have a lot of free time at the beginning of the week. I always get up early to make sure I’m taking care of me and my cat’s needs and am able to extend that care to your animals as well. When I do a drop-in visit, I always do a sweep around the main areas of the house to ensure that everything is in order. For dogs, my main priority is to take them out, check their water bowl and play with them to make sure they have the care they need for the day. For cats, I will always check their litter boxes to see if it needs any scooping, I will also check their food and water bowls and fill them up if needed. Like dogs, I will respect their boundaries and play with them to ensure they’re comfortable.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and just recently welcomed two cats into my family. I have been babysitting and nannying for as long as I can remember which would often lead to taking care of their four legged family members as well. I’ve assisted in potty training and with my own pets helped apply and give medications. I am someone who is reliable and trustworthy. I know how much my pets mean to me and have always treated any animals in my care as if they were my own. Right now I am off for the summer and because I work in a school am off on holidays and weekends. Once school starts again in August a typical work day is 7am-3pm. Throughout my years of working with families came a lot of house sitting and pet sitting for them and their friends. I am always respect of other peoples homes and am more than happy to take in mail/packages and take care of plants. I will always take care of your pets like they are my own. I am reliable and communicative.

About: I have had animals of my own since I was 10 years old, growing up with both a dog and a cat (as well as hamsters, birds, and fish). I have experience taking care of pets of family and friends. I also have 7 years of veterinary medical experience working as a veterinary assistant and then a veterinary technician. I have just graduated Veterinary school and am taking some time off before starting my first job as a Veterinarian. Would love to spend some of this time caring for your pet! I graduated from school this summer and I am taking time off to spend with family and friends before moving for my first job! So, right now I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I have 7 years of veterinary medical experience and have graduated from veterinary school which has trained me in animal behavior. I know how to tell when an animal is happy, anxious, scared, sick, etc and I know how to react appropriately to these situations.

About: I’ve never had a dog of my own, although I have always wanted to! I’ve had cats all my life and have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. I have experience with helping out with friends’ dogs, and I’m a big animal lover! I am a graduate student looking to make a little extra on the weekends by taking care of your babies! I’m typically unavailable during the week, but we can always chat about any other days you may need help. I will always do my best to ensure safety for your pets! I’ll stay away from busy roads and other animals while on walks, while making sure that they get enough exercise!

Laura is just the right person we were looking for to provide care for our new puppy during the work week afternoons. She is incredibly easy to get in touch with, always provides updates, is adaptable to schedule and requests, and has a genuine love for pets that are not even her own! Any worries we had with leaving Hugo for bits of the day have been relieved now that we have a reliable person there for him when we can't be. Can't thank you enough, Laura!

Andrea is great! She communicated throughout the entire process. She kept me informed on how everything was going. She sent pictures showing her interaction with Snuggles. Although, she wasn’t booked to care for the cat, she notified me of his mischievous behavior. I will definitely book with Andrea again. Thank you Andrea!

Maggie went above and beyond while caring for our dog Leo. Our fridge/freezer started leaking and she went out of her way to ensure the floor wasn’t damaged, keeping me informed at every checkin. Can’t recommend her enough!

About: Hi, I’m Adrianna and I’m a full time dog mom and an avid animal lover. I have two rescue pups of my own—Lucy & Cosmo. Lucy is a disabled, senior pup. They were both COVID rescues and it’s been an amazing five and a half years (best thing I ever did). I love animals so much and would love to help care for yours like they were my own ❤️❤️ I have cared for animals my entire life. I would love to set up a meet and greet and get to know you and your animals. I work full time as a business analyst and I’m available nights and weekends for care & companionship. I would love to help out by walking, feeding, administering medication, and whatever you will need help with. We live in a first floor home — we have our own little yard but my dogs are never without their leash. I also walk them separately for safety reasons, so that I’m not distracted.

There are so many things I could say about Mariah, but it still wouldn’t be enough. She bailed us out after a one day notice. I had to go to work and she took care of our beautiful puppy teddy. He was happy having fun running around and he really enjoys seeing other people. Teddy wasn’t feeling good, yet she wrote us a card saying he’s a lot better and she just went beyond all of our expectations. If you are looking for a sitter who goes above and beyond, look no further than Mariah. We will be using her again!

This is my 2nd time l had Ethan stopped by. He is wonderful with both my dogs. I have one very large husky. The breed are very bratty and difficult, but Ethan has no problem. My smaller dog took to him immediately. She never does that.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Rocky Hill

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Rocky Hill on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 2,585 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Rocky Hill. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Rocky Hill 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.

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 Rocky Hill 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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 Rocky Hill 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 Rocky Hill. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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.
