About: I’ve always had a huge heart and love for animals of all kinds! I have experience pet sitting for numerous families, caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from smaller breeds to larger, high-energy breeds like German Shepherds and Rottweilers. I also have two huskies of my own, so I’m very familiar with energetic dogs and the attention, exercise, and care they need! I’m a very active person who loves being outdoors, going for walks, and making sure pets get plenty of exercise and attention. My love for animals doesn’t stop at dogs! I also adore cats and have experience caring for them as well. I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and always strive to make them feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own! I currently work full-time but have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m available most evenings after work and have plenty of availability on weekends! I’m happy to work with pet owners to accommodate their schedules and ensure their pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I love being able to incorporate pet sitting into my routine! As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for animals! I have two huskies of my own who are both crate trained, and we have an electric fence at home. I also make an effort to take my dogs on walks almost every day, even if it's just a short walk to get some fresh air and exercise! I’ve also owned both indoor-only and indoor/outdoor cats, so I’m familiar with different routines, including litter box care and cats that are accustomed to going outside. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always do my best to follow their normal routines, whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, crate training, or any other specific needs. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away!

“Our first time with Zach and hopefully not our last. He was punctual, reliable and so attentive to our older dog who needs some extra care and patience. Zach sent lots of updates and photos throughout his stay. He followed Kona’s schedule to a T and even came back for an extra walk last minute the next day.”

“We had such a wonderful experience with her and would absolutely book with her again!! We have 8 pets, so leaving them with someone new is a pretty big deal for us, especially because a few of them have specific care needs. She made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. She was incredibly communicative throughout our trip and sent us tons of pictures and updates. She even let us know when she was leaving the house and when she planned to return, which we really appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing what was happening at home while we were away. It was obvious from all the pictures that our pets were getting lots of attention, love, and honestly being completely spoiled. She also gave one of our cats his medication and carefully followed the special instructions we left for our dog who gets very anxious during thunderstorms. Knowing she was willing and able to handle those extra care needs meant a lot to us. She also had to coordinate transferring their care to another sitter partway through our trip, and she handled the transition so thoughtfully. She cleaned up and changed the bedding for the next sitter and made the handoff feel seamless. With 8 pets, there are a LOT of routines and little details to keep track of, and she handled everything with so much care. We have 8 happy, well-loved pets, which is really all we could ask for. She is kind, dependable, communicative, attentive, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she is looking after. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets, and we would happily book with her again!”

“Sam is by far the best cat sitter I’ve ever hired. She was extremely dedicated to looking after my older cat. Sam is a real cat whisperer - even though my cat is pretty nervous and skittish around people, she absolutely adores Sam and showed her belly in most picture that Sam sent! Sam sent updates multiple times per day, sent some of the best pictures I’ve ever seen of my cat, and was so dedicated to my cat’s care. I’ve been worried about my cat’s eating because of her gastroenteritis, and Sam told me every day whether my cat had eaten or not. Sam even put treats in with my cat’s wet food to coax my cat to eat her new, vet-prescribed food. Sam is such a wonderful, caring and extremely capable pet sitter - I’ve never felt so calm being away from my cat! I’m so grateful that Sam is our regular, most trusted pet sitter.”

About: I've been taking care of my own dog since we first got her 7 years ago, and I also used to volunteer at the New Milford Animal Shelter. My family fosters animals (both cats and dogs) from Because 4 Paws in New Milford, so I have some basic experience with administering medicines and helping others administer medicines. I've also been a dog sitter for 3 different families. I recently moved back to the east coast and am looking for some side work while I hunt for a full time job. I'm not sure when that will be, so I'm trying not to set my availability too far out, but am still flexible for now! Depending on what the owners are comfortable with, I would love to take the dogs out for a walk at a nearby park or walking trail. We have four cats at our house that are wary of new animals, so I am unable to pet sit at my residence. However, I am willing to spend time with your fur babies at your house or preferred location, and will follow whatever instructions necessary to ensure the comfortability of you and your pets.

“We recently had Charlie stay with our dog, Autumn, while we were on vacation, and she was fantastic. Autumn is high energy, and Charlie kept her active all day with walks and play. A neighbor even ran into them on a walk (their dog is one of Autumn’s friends) and told us afterward how nice Charlie was. Charlie also sent frequent photo updates and communicated with us consistently, which gave us real peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely use Charlie again.”

She was kind, caring and skilled at making sure he ate and had his medicines. Mason took to her immediately and Catherine also made us feel comfortable. We cannot express how grateful we are for her help! We look forward to working with her again.”

About: I will always go above and beyond to make any and all of my pups happy and comfortable. They will always be my top priority. Pet care fits into my schedule part- time perfectly. I can work with you as needed for a vacation. I am flexible. Weekends are widely open. I do not have a fenced in yard. I trained my dog to be an off leash pup. I will use leash at owner requests.

FAQs for House Sitting - South Britain

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,771 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Britain. 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 South Britain 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 South Britain 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 South Britain 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 , 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 .

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Britain. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
