“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!”

About: I have had experience with pets since a young age. I had dogs and cats growing up. The last dog my family had while I was in high school was a Bassett Hound whom I loved.She had such a great personality. Currently, I do not have any dogs, not out of desire, but because I don't feel I am home enough to be able to care for them. Therefore, I have 2 cats! In order for me to get my dog "fixe" on a regular basis, lol, I have cared for my friends and family's dogs on a regular basis for the last 10 years. I have done overnight visits for my sister-in-law's dog, which is a King Charles Cavalier and took care of my friend's dogs, both a Dachshund and an Australian Shepherd during the day while she was at work. Currently I have a friend and neighbor whom I take her dog out for walks on a regular basis while she's at work. I am currently working part time as I have my own craft business.I felt that interactions with pets would be a great part time position that would fit nicely into my schedule. I feel that I am a mature individual who can take direction very well from your instructions. Whatever your pet needs I am happy to provide while you are away.

About: Hi there! My name is Ellie, and I’m a passionate animal lover with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have pups of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your furry family member — and I treat every pet I meet with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. Whether your dog needs a fun walk to burn off energy, a drop-in to check on meals and snuggles, or full-on overnight care, I’ve got you covered. I’m reliable, patient, and fully committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and give them the care they deserve! I currently work full-time during the day, but pet care is truly a passion of mine and a fulfilling part of my daily routine. I’m available for check-ins and walks in the early mornings before work and in the evenings after I get home. In some cases, I’m also able to swing by during my lunch break for a quick visit, depending on location and timing. I also offer overnight stays, which allows me to spend quality, uninterrupted time with your pet — perfect for dogs who need extra comfort or company while you’re away. While my weekday daytime availability is limited, I’m dependable, communicative, and always make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve when I’m with them! When your pet is in my care, their well-being is my top priority. I understand that every animal has their own unique needs, routines, and personalities — and I take the time to get to know them so I can provide care that makes them feel safe, seen, and loved. You can trust that I’ll treat your pet like one of my own, with patience, affection, and respect. I’m mindful, responsible, and always keep safety at the forefront — whether that’s making sure harnesses are secure, sticking to feeding instructions, or giving them their favorite toy at just the right moment. I believe animals know when someone truly cares for them — and I make it my mission to create a peaceful, loving environment where your pet can feel completely at ease while you’re away.
About: I grew up with pugs, and for the past 17 years I have had three foster fail pitbulls and multiple fosters that have gone on to loving homes. I have rescued three Mama pitbulls from terrible breeding situations, and their rehabilitation was a testament to my love. I have taken on personally multiple boarding dogs through friends reccomendations, and now that I have an empty nest, I am ready to share my home with your loved ones. I currently work only part time, so I will be here to spend a lot of time in the home caring for my boarding pets. My household has no fenced in yard, but I can give multiple walks per day, as I am a very active person. There are multiple adults and children in the home, so your fur babies will be getting A LOT of love. :) I live in a safe neighborhood and a safe neighborhood in Wethersfield, and will be home frequently to provide a high level of care for your beloved pet.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, and caring for them is second nature to me. For four years, I managed a doggy daycare, giving me daily experience with everything from playful puppies to quirky adults and sweet seniors. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at home — feeding, walking, giving medications, and keeping everyone on a routine. Big personalities, small breeds, anxious pups, confident ones… I’ve worked with them all, and I genuinely love getting to know what makes each dog unique. I work a full‑time job on weekdays, but you can count on me Friday after 5 PM and throughout the weekend. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, or a quick drop‑in, I’m happy to help. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. In your home, I stick to your dog’s normal routine - feeding, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions you share. I’m careful with doors, gates, and household safety, and I never rush your dog into situations they’re unsure about. My goal is to create a stress‑free, happy environment.

About: I provide dogs the love and attention they deserve. I am comfortable with any situation. Animals, especially dogs have always had a special place in my heart. If there is a dog you know you can find me there! I am trustworthy, great at multi tasking and listening to instructions so you know that your pets are safe and taken care of with me. I am flexible with last minute requests and work hard to meet your pet sitting needs. I listen to the instructions given and I make sure to give the best service. if I don't understand or feel uncomfortable about something I always speak up and get the clarification I need. I have done this for years and I still choose this over other jobs I have had. Something about this job makes me feel like it's not a job at all. I enjoy it so much. I make sure your pup/s is safe and happy when you see them again. I check to see what their needs are and can assure you they will be taken care of.
About: For five years during grad school, I took care of friends pets (including cats, small dogs, and big dogs) for days and up to weeks while they were away. I have a full time job Monday-Friday, but I love animals! I can’t have a pet of my own at the moment, but I would love to take care of yours on the weekends or weekday evenings. My priority is to make your pet feel safe. I find keeping them in their home environment or maintaining their usual routine is often helpful. I am open to in house visits as well as bringing them into my home.
About: I grew up with a dog and now have adorable and most loving rescued Beagle of my own. I trained him to understand common commands.

I’m offering play dates and walks for your pooch. I am reliable and flexible. I have a friendly Beagle who loves to dig and chaise squirrels.

“Zoey is the best! She took great care of our cats while we were away. I was worried about one of our cats and she made a special trip back to check on him which was so appreciated. Would absolutely book her again in the future!”

I'm comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, ensuring your dog feels safe and respected. I work at a daycare/kennel throughout the week and Volunteer on Mondays at a rescue, so I’m always around and taking care of dogs and cats I love playing with dogs and giving them the attention needed. I can feed them, I’m capable of following instructions, including medical instructions. I don’t have any experience poking pets with needles for medicine, but I can do pills and topical sprays and other things like that!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rocky Hill is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $29 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 pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s 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 pet’s 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 you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d 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, 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
