“Katherine was great with our 2 dogs and our cat. She even got our rambunctious pups to walk on leash together, something we still struggle with. We will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“Michael was extremely wonderful with our dog Luna, she is very strong and with her high prey drive she can be alot for some people to handle. Luna was very happy in all the pictures I received, and I was happy to come home to a well exercised and cared for pup.”
“HIGLY recommended! Sean was a caring, patient and very flexible with my 2 dogs. Can’t recommend more.Hell certainly be my first call on our next gateway. Thank you again Sean.”
“Renee was great with our dogs. She came and visited before her first house sitting for us and the dogs acclimated to her quickly. When we got home we could tell our dogs were well taken care of. We will have her house sit again for us.”
“Bri was the best person I could’ve asked for to watch my puppy!!! She was so attentive, sweet, and thoughtful. She brought Bruin a toy and made sure to send me pictures throughout the night while I was gone!! I would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter, and will definitely be rebooking :)”
“Jessica took excellent care of our dog. Charlie loves her and wants us to go away again so he can hang with her!! Our house was left spotless and she communicated with us daily and sent cute pics. It made us feel comfortable being away.”
“Eneida stayed at our house overnight with our pitbull and she was lovely. She wasn’t intimidated by our girl’s high level of excitement. Her communication was great, she sent lots of photos and we returned to a clean house and a happy, healthy dog. We will be asking her back!!”
“Nora is a fantastic pet sitter. She's conscientious, detailed, and compassionate. My cat got some dental work done just before our trip. Nora was incredibly diligent with his extra care needs. I highly recommend booking Nora for cat/house sitting.”
“Carla was phenomenal!! I was able to feel relaxed and comfortable while on my vacation as she tended to my two dogs and looked after my house. I would recommend her anytime and will absolutely be using her again!”
About: I am a career scientist and an avid animal lover. I have cared for up to 12 pets at a time including dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes, lizards, and fish. I have experience walking, feeding, exercising, overnight stays, senior care, and administering medication. I specialize in rabbit care and other small pets. As an owner of multiple rabbits for ten years, I have learned so much about how to cater to their needs and be vigilant of changes in their behavior. I currently have one black cat age 13, and two bunnies ages 10 and 2. I give my senior rabbit daily oral medication and twice-daily eye drops. I am also experienced at bunny-proofing spaces to keep them safe and undamaged, and providing enrichment activities to keep the bunnies entertained and active. I am an active individual who enjoys hikes through the woods and practicing yoga. I am currently taking a break from the scientific industry and looking to fill my life with things that bring me joy. I am more than happy to meet with prospective families for an interview. I am currently not working full time and have lots of flexibility in my schedule. I can accommodate same day bookings for walks, check ins, and overnight stays. In my own home, I am strict about keeping gates closed to separate my cat from my bunnies while unsupervised. In clients homes I will take a similar approach, tailored to your needs and layout.
“Samantha is great! She was super flexible on start and end times and is a great comminicator and our pups loved being with her! We also appreciated that she sent us some photos and checked in frequently”
“Rebecca is absolutely amazing. This was the first time I left Woodie with a sitter besides my son. He was nervous at first, but she came over several times to make sure he was comfortable. She knew everything to do to make him comfortable. He did perfectly when we went out. I was not worried at all because I knew she had it handled. I of course will be using her anytime I want to go out.”

“Christine is awesome!! She’s very professional and treats my fur baby like he's part of her family. She’s very reliable and has excellent communication. I highly recommend her!”
“Chris took very good care of our dog, Millie! He was very communicative at the end of every day letting us know how our dogs day was, along with pictures. I also appreciated while staying at our house it looked the same way when we left it. (No mess). We will definitely use Chris again for future dog/house sitting!”
“Kimberly has a beautiful energy that the dogs responded well to. I could tell from the photos she sent that they were having a fabulous time playing with her. When I got home they were safe and sound and relaxed...and even a bit tuckered out, which was perfect considering I'd had a long day!”
About: I've raised dogs, both my own and others, since I could walk. I began a dog sitting and walking service when I was ten in my hometown of Portland, Connecticut, and have continued to do so ever since. I've been in NYC for 8 years and I live alone in a very pet-friendly home. I work remotely, too. Super flexible. My own dog passed last year, so I'm looking to start taking care of dogs again after a hiatus. I work full-time and remotely with a lot of flexibility. I make my own schedule and can walk your pup as need be. Currently accepting applications for your dog to be my temp worker, job requirements include looking cute and ideally not barking during meetings (a few hello's are okay). I'm a TLC kind of pet lover. Your dog will be spoiled with love. I also keep a clean home, so you won't have to worry about your dog eating anything not meant for them.
“First time Audrey watched our dogs Bailey and Bella, but it won't be the last. She is a lovely young lady, smart, articulate, and fantastic with our dogs who loved her. Communication was excellent and we loved the daily pics!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rocky Hill
Another good experience having Jill sit with Wrigley. Wrigley had a rough spell in his life before coming to me, I can only board at my home. Jill is very patient with Wrigley and is learning his quirks. I am very thankful that she is taking the time to understand Wrigley and not just giving up on him.
Another good experience with Taliah sitting with Wrigley. Wrigley had a rough spell in his life before coming to me, I can only board at home. Taliah is very patient with Wrigley and his quirks. If anything he likes her more than me, she gives more treats to him than I do.
Bri was the best person I could’ve asked for to watch my puppy!!! She was so attentive, sweet, and thoughtful. She brought Bruin a toy and made sure to send me pictures throughout the night while I was gone!! I would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter, and will definitely be rebooking :)
3rd time using Ethan. This time for 7days, six nights in my house. Ethan was awesome with both dogs. Huskies can be bratty and difficult. Ethan had absolutely no issues handling him. Both dogs love Ethan. And Ethan did an awesome job taking care of the house. I highly recommend him.
We had to go out of town - leaving our 5 pets one of whom was a new adoptee with some trust issues and one of whom needed some medication and tlc. Sherri came over to meet us all and I was quickly assured that the pets would all be in great hands with her. I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying about our cats and dogs. The animals all warmed up to her quickly and she sent me lots of photos and reached out with any questions. We came home to happy pets and a well cared for house. I highly recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Rocky Hill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Rocky Hill is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $58 per night. 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 1,554 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rocky Hill. 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 Rocky Hill 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 Rocky Hill 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 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!
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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rocky Hill. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
