“Simply put, Joey was outstanding, both with his care of Pablo as well as management of our home while staying here. As a person, he’s a young man of high integrity who is kind, thoughtful, and detail oriented! He loves dogs; kept me posted with text and pics; and maintains a positive and loving temperament. He exceeded my expectations and would give him my highest recommendation!”
“Kriti was wonderful with my sweet rescue, Ruby. She is very professional, competent, and I was comfortable leaving Ruby in her care! I loved the videos and photos she sent. In addition, the house was in perfect shape on my return! I highly recommend Kriti!”
“Jack was great! We had a last minute need for a dog sitter and he took the time to come meet me and the dogs before watching them on the weekend. He kept our dogs safe during a tornado warning and when we came home the dogs were completely relaxed.”
About: Sorry due to rover taking a 20% fee now, I have to raise my prices. It was 10% before. I love animals, I’ve owned animals my whole life, I have two pet bunnies. (They live in my garage, not house, other animals don't have access) I also own a beagle, he’s 12 . He’s very friendly and loves other dogs, specially people, he's friendly with cats. I volunteer at animal shelters and I'm going for my vet technician degree. . I take my dog out in the morning for a walk, he gets many walks through out the day, I have a flexible job where I chose my own hours / schedule but during those hours I choose I'm on call and might have to leave, usually always have one other person home but if your dog cannot be left alone I can fix my work schedule to work with you. I will love your pet like my own until you come back home. If your pet is staying at my house, we have a big back yard that has a lead for your dog, also a nice quiet street I live on for walks. my dog will be around your pet so please also have a friendly pet. Besides that, daily feeding, daily pets&love, brushing, exercise, playtime. Your pets will get all of that.
About: I am a local resident and a dog dad to a big Lab mix. I enjoy being outdoors and know how to handle dogs safely on a leash. I'm honest, punctual, and I'll make sure your dog gets a great walk. I have a very flexible work schedule, so I am available for walks throughout the day. Whether you need help in the morning or the afternoon, I can easily adjust my time to fit your dog's routine. I'm around when you need me. Safety is my number one priority. I always keep dogs securely on a leash and pay attention to our surroundings, not my phone. I will treat your dog and your home with the same respect and care that I give my own family.
About: Experienced with both large and small dogs, as well as senior dogs. My last dog was a husky, so I’m no stranger to dogs with high exercise needs as well! Looking forward to helping your family (both furry and otherwise!) this summer. ***From 8/24 - 8/30 I have open availability! I have left my general availability outlined below, but I will be available all day/night Monday-Sunday this week.*** General Availability: I currently work part time Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I can be very flexible to meet your needs Thursday-Sunday, and am available for early morning and/or late evening care Monday-Wednesday. I am currently unable to care for pets in my own home, but am happy to feed, walk, play with, or just keep an eye on your pet in your home.
“Annabel did a wonderful job with our two big dogs! Our usually skittish puppy is absolutely in love with her. Annabel was very communicative, followed all instructions for the pups care, and kept us updated with cute pictures. We looking forward to using her services again!”
“Boryana took amazing care of our senior pitbull, Brady. She was very patient with his quirks and eccentricities (e.g. he has acquired a habit of lying down for rests mid-walk). He often seems a little out of sorts after we come back from a long trip, but this time he was very relaxed and happy. Communication was top notch and our house was left in perfect condition. We can't recommend Boryana highly enough, and hope she'll be available to take care of Brady again in the future!”
“Stacey was prompt and arrived on time! Exceptional care provided by Stacey! Ralphie was well-loved and tended to with great attention to detail. Highly recommend her services!"”
About: Greetings! I am a true lover of ALL animals. Especially Dogs and Cats💕 I owned my beloved cat Tigger for 13 wonderful years, and now I have a furry “brother” named Chance, a fun-loving Jack Russell Terrier who completely steals my heart! I love visiting him, taking him on walks, cuddling, playing, and of course enjoying all those happy oxytocin-filled moments. He literally goes crazy when I walk through the door! 🐶 What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the genuine love, attention, and care I give to every animal. I don’t just “watch” pets — I spend quality time with them, play with them, keep them company, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I will: Feed and care for your pet responsibly Take dogs on walks and give them exercise Play, cuddle, and provide companionship Keep litter boxes, feeding areas, and pet spaces clean Treat your pet like family I also have a lot of experience caring for children, so being nurturing, patient, dependable, and attentive comes naturally to me. If you’re looking for someone who is honest, fun, compassionate, and truly enjoys animals, your pets will LOVE having me as their sitter! 🐾✨ Right now, My brother Chance and my besties Dog Nikki who I case around ( or she chase me around every chance I get! I don't have a daily pet routine N/A I donot care for pets in my home. Should someone desperately need cat care I will try to accommodate. ( I'm more than happy to help)
“It was such a delight to work with Vee! From our first interactions and meet-up to the final day of her stay with our dog in our home, it was clear that Vee is a pro and thinks of every single detail. She watched our dog during our longest trip so far, and we felt so comfortable knowing that she was keeping our dog safe and happy! She sent regular updates and pics so that we didn’t worry for a second. It was clear our dog was so loved with Vee and we will absolutely reach out again when we are traveling!”

“Yasmine did a wonderful job and was incredibly communicative. She kept my home very clean as well. Definitely will be having her watch my cats again!”
About: Hello all! I have previous experience caring for a hamster and am currently the proud owner of an American Pit Bull Terrier. I’m passionate about training, grooming, and overall animal care, and I’m always refining my skills. I work in healthcare and fitness, so I’m active, hands-on, and detail-oriented. My strong work ethic, communication skills, and personable nature allow me to build great relationships with both people and their furry friends! I have open and flexible weekend availability, and I’m available most weekday evenings as well. I also enjoy working early morning shifts and am happy to accommodate those when needed. I love outdoor walks and playtime—I have stamina for days! I’m also comfortable handling grooming, as I do all of my own pet’s grooming. I’m patient, attentive, and always want pets to feel comfortable, enriched, well-rested, fed, and, most importantly, loved.
“Marissa is so great! She was flexible when my travel arrangements got delayed and sent me lots of pictures of my fur baby. She is very responsive and overall, great to work with!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rocky Hill
Andrew house sat our two dogs for a little over a week. One of our dogs is pretty shy and slow to warm up, but in just a few days she seemed totally happy with Andrew there. He was great about keeping us updated and we knew the dogs were in good hands. We highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a dogsitter!
Alexis did a wonderful job taking care of our pup. She came a few days ahead of the scheduled job for a meet and greet. She arrived last evening right on time, followed all directions for care and was very pleasant to work with. We’ll hire her again! PS— we tipped her when we arrived home before she left.
Chase was great with our cat and dog! When we first met him I could tell that he had good energy, as my cat went up to him right away. He was very responsive the whole trip and sent us updates multiple times a day. Our pets warmed up to him very quickly. We needed someone who could care for both cats and dogs and Chase was great as he has owned both before. We came home to a clean house and happy pets. Will be rebooking in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Rocky Hill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rocky Hill on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,767 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 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.
