“Tiarra did a great job watch our dogs and our home. We could see from the pictures she sent that they were having a great time and our house looked perfect when we returned.”
“Shannon watched our two huskies and stayed in our home while we were away for a weekend. She took excellent care of our home, collected our mail, and took the best care of our Doggos. She sent several picture updates of our dogs which helped immensely. We will definitely use her in the future and highly recommend her to others!”
“Grace was wonderful with my cat, Misha. She gave me regular updates and followed my cat’s super particular schedule. My cat was acting well loved when I got home. Everything went great; and I would not hesitate to have Grace housesit my cat again.”
“Nikkii was absolutely great. She sent pictures and kept me posted on how they were doing daily. My 2 crazy fur babies loved her and can't wait to see her again! Thank you for taking such great care of them”
“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.”
“My husband and I have always relied on friends and family to watch Lola, and with our reliable help moving out of state we knew we needed to find someone we trusted. After reading all the reviews on here, we came across Rebecca and had a good feeling about her. She came for a meet and greet prior, took amazing notes, asked all the right questions and Lola loved her! She was so communicative during her time at our house, sent us great updates and photos of Lola and just such a pleasure to work with. We have already booked her for two upcoming trips and can’t wait to continue our relationship with her!!!!”
“Michelle was great with Lola and sent so many pictures to give us peace of mind! We will definitely book with her again. She stayed in our home and it was left exactly as we left in- she even brought in our packages. Cannot thank her enough!”
“Christine is a wonderful dog sitter! She stayed 9 days with our 2 high maintenance dogs and took excellent care of them. Christine’s communication both before and during our trip was exactly what we needed to feel comfortable. She sent pictures of our boys daily and sent us updates on their behaviors, eating, sleeping, and general wellbeing. It allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip!”
About: I have cared for animals for about 10 years and have mostly worked with dogs, cats, and rabbits. I always am the first person my neighbors as for pet sitting as I am reliable and love spending time with animals. I love to give pets lots of attention and play with them and give lots of petting to make them as happy as possible. I currently have no other job at the moment so I have plenty of time to look after your pets! I am available all day during the week and on weekends. I have a cat that has to take pills daily and I am used to giving animals medicine and flea medicine so I am very capable of doing that for your animal. I also give my cat nail clippings and fur brushing to keep them clean. I also clean the litter box weekly and always pick up dog poop.
“This is the second time we have used Michelle to sit for our 4 large fur babies! We were gone for 8 days and didn’t have a worry. Michelle is so good with all of our dogs, sends regular updates and pics and again she meal prepped for our pups. She is amazing!!!”
About: My first experience was 5 y.o when I was selected to help train Fidelco search and rescue dogs. From then on, my whole life has been surrounded by animals of all sorts. From going to UCONN for large animal science, to always being the designated pet sitter for friends and family, to now- still doing that, running my own hypoallergenic cattery & working a couple horse barns! I bring years of experience with all sizes, ages, behavioral issues, illnesses and providing medications. Safety is my #1, with an obvious close 2nd, their happiness! I currently work part time at 2 barns, a few days a week, and no longer than 4 hours a day. I also run a cattery at my home, so squeezing in a quick walk or even accepting a night over, on short notice, isn't usually an issue for me! I currently do not offer for other animals to stay at my house, due to having my cattery and my elderly dog, but I'm more than happy to stay at yours and care for your fur-baby!
“Emily house-sit our dog Amber for 4 days. I cannot recommend her enough and cannot wait to work with her again. First of all, she was able to stop by earlier in the day than I initially set the sitting for, and let Amber out midday and come back later to start the actual sitting. I hugely appreciated this since I made a mistake in the reservation start time. She was great with photo and text updates. From all the photos I could tell how happy Amber was. Her food and medication schedule was kept the same and she had lots of fun with Emily. And I have to say that the house was left immaculate. She went the extra mile to unload the dishwasher that I accidentally left in full, and took out all the trash. None of which were her responsibility but she truly went above and beyond and we appreciated all of it. We cannot wait to have her take care of Amber agan.”
“Jen house sat for us for nine days and took care of our lab mutt Jamie and two cats, Remy and Lily. She did a wonderful job taking care of our furkids and followed my long list of instructions :). One of our cats is almost 16 and wasn't feeling well for a few days prior to departure. Jen gave her extra attention and got her eat her meals. While we were away our kitty made a full recovery and is back to her old-young self! Jen sent pictures and updates daily and our furkids really enjoyed being with her. Toward the end of her stay even Lily was sleeping in her bed along with the other two, and she never does that with just anyone. Jen truly understands owner and pets needs and she goes the extra mile to make sure everyone is happy. We will definitely be booking our petcare visits with her in the future :).”
“sarah was wonderful! she sent me pictures and updates every day! i came home to my apartment exactly as i left it, and i felt like my animals were very well taken care of.”
About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I have lots of experience feeding, walking, and taking care of them! I also have experience with senior animals! Mostly available evenings and weekends. I will work with you to schedule times that work for you and your animals. I will be as flexible as possible! For dogs, I can walk, feed, play with them, and give them medicine if needed. For cats, I can play, feed, change litter boxes, and make sure they are happy!
“Joanna took care of our cat over the last week and was awesome! She sent us lots of pictures and Dorito warmed up to her super quickly! She was also very respectful of our house. Would 100% re-book with her!”
“Both my dogs love Ethan. My little female dog is weary of strangers. Not Ethan. She goes right to and paws at him for his attention. I've never had a previous pet sitter that she trust. Animals sense a good person. Also, Ethan was terrific handling our large male Siberian Husky who is a very bratty, stubborn and at times difficult. Ethan knew exactly how to handle him. I highly recommend Ethan. He is now our permanent pet sitter.”
“Amy is great! Jasper had a lovely time with her and we got a good update in the morning before she left. I would book with her again and recommend her to anyone, not just those with a senior dog :)”
“Stephen took amazing care of my dogs and my home while I was away. He provided lots pictures and updates of my dogs while I was gone. I would highly recommend Stephen to anyone who needs a reliable pet sitter.”

I have used Grace twice now for overnight stays. I would recommend her highly. She communicated with me daily and sent pictures. She was very reassuring and responsible. When I came home, everything was exactly as when I left. I will definitely use Grace again if I need an overnight sitter.
Jacqueline watched our two rescue dogs (ages 3 and 6) in our house for a week and did a fabulous job! She was so understanding of their behavioral quirks and kept us updated frequently. It was a relief knowing they were in such good hands and seeing photos of their happy faces while we were away. Thank you, Jacqueline!
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!
It was our first time having an inhouse pet sitter and Brien was wonderful. He was willing to meet with us a couple of weeks before hand which reassured us about having a stranger in our house. When a last minute health issue threw our plans up in the air, he was very empathetic and willing to work with us. We did get away as planned and Brien sent us a daily update and photos. Our dog is 15 years old, so a health issue can always develop unexpectedly, but Brien was confident he could hand anything that comes along. Highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Glastonbury on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,552 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Glastonbury. 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 Glastonbury 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 Glastonbury 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 Glastonbury 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.
