“Laura is fantastic. She came through last minute for me when my usual walker was unavailable. I needed someone to check on my puppy in the middle of the day while I was at work. She and my puppy got along and she took a lot of great photos for her. We will definitely be repeat clients whenever we need someone in the future.”
“Laura provided such great care for our pets (two pups and a cat). She was kind, loving, and really engaged with them (petting, playing fetch, etc.). I highly recommend her and will definitely be utilizing her services again!!!”
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.
“Kimberly is a great dog sitter! She took great care of my Daisy and was available whenever I needed her. We came across no issues with Kimberly and I would highly recommend her to care for your pups!”
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.
“Samantha was great with our cats. They warmed up to her quickly and we loved the daily photos! We definitely would recommend her and we’ll use her sitting help in the future.”
About: Hi! My name is Douglas, Doug for short. Currently a proud papa to a golden lab named Sunny, and a grey longhair cat named Remy. My best friend is a pug/chihuahua mix named Taz. I also had an old man chihuahua named Finn, and I’ll forever miss him. I feel like I speak dog, I know how to tailor my personality to meet the needs of any dog. Cliche to say but I am better with animals than with people. I am responsible, gentle, caring, and a big rule follower. I have pretty open availability throughout the week so I have lots of time to hang out with your dogs! Let me know what you need and I should be able to make it work! I have experience with crate training my dog so I am comfortable playing with your dog in the house or yard, and switching them to their crate if needed.
“Ellyse was amazing! Super willing to accept my last minute booking - and my modifications throughout the booking. Most importantly, she took great care of my dog Vernon! I will definitely use her in the future :)”
“Brooke has taken care of our pets multiple times and she is always kind, consistent, and caring as well as a clear communicator. We are grateful we can trust someone with our pets. Thank you!”
“I can always rely on Danielle to respond quickly. She’s reliable and is a HUGE stress reliever knowing that my pup is being well taken care of. I’ve rebooked her numerous times now, and she has never disappointed”
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.
“Maggie was very considerate through the whole process, especially considering our request was super last minute! Her response time was very quick and consistent and we felt safe leaving our diabetic cat with her.”
“I can’t recommend Nicole enough! She takes incredible care of my dog, goes above and beyond, treating her like her own. I get updates and many photos, my pup is happy and clearly loved by her. Nicole will stay over the allotted time to make sure my pup gets well taken care of. It’s such a relief knowing I’ve found someone reliable, trustworthy, and truly caring. She gives my dog treats and takes her on long walks and always makes sure to keep me updated every time she comes. I will be continuing to book with Nicole for any dog sitting needs I have, she is the best dog sitter and a very kind person as well, I am very grateful for her!! 🩷”
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!
“Jannette and her partner is wonderful. I love the fact that they are always in communication about how my dog Venus is doing on a walk. They take great care of her.”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rocky Hill
Jill is truly the best pet sitter we have ever used. We went to Maine for a 8 days, 7 nights and she gave our two one-year-old cats the best love and care. She was a great communicator and went above and beyond every time. She even let us know when our fridge was having an issue after a power outage in the area. Will 100% be booking Jill again!
Tristen was great with my cat Sheddy. She tends to be on the shy side and doesn’t come out for strangers. Tristen was super patient with her and always managed to get a picture of her. I felt at ease knowing Sheddy was in good hands. I will definitely reschedule with Tristen for my next vacation!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Rocky Hill on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,702 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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.
