About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 13, including two of my own. Family and friends have trusted me with their pets for years, and I always treat every dog like my own—with love, patience, attention, and plenty of cuddles! I’m also comfortable following feeding and walking routines and administering oral medications. I work from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for regular, long-term schedules as well as occasional or one-time care. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and specific needs! I live in a pet-friendly community and provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention and daily walks. I always follow each pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and specific care instructions. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are my priority, and I’ll treat your pet like part of the family! 🐾
“Ifan did an incredible job taking care of my Bernedoodle, who is full of energy and absolutely loves meeting new people. They handled his excitement with total confidence and experience, which immediately put me at ease. He got plenty of playtime in the backyard, lots of social interaction, and even came home tired and happy which is a rare accomplishment for a dog who could play all day. It was clear that Ifan really understands energetic dogs and knows how to keep them engaged in a positive way. My dog adored them, and I could tell he felt comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled, attentive, and genuinely caring sitter.”
“I could not be more pleased with the care that Jessica and Christopher gave to royalty. In fact, I’ve already booked them for the next gig. I highly recommend them.”
“As soon as I met Kira, I knew she was was going to fit perfectly for drop in visits for my 3 cats. I felt totally comfortable having her come in my house and feed my animals. In getting to know her and her work, she is friendly, conscientious, and has great attention to detail. I I really enjoyed getting her updates and great pictures of my cats!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for several years. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always aim to keep their routine consistent and stress-free while you’re away. I make sure your dog feels safe, exercised, and well-loved. Pet care fits into my routine—I work full time during the week, but I’m available for walks and check-ins in the mornings and evenings. I enjoy starting and ending my day with some time outside and love spending that time with dogs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I focus on keeping things consistent and tailored to each pet’s needs. I stick to their usual routines—mealtimes, walks, play, and any special care. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and make sure pets feel comfortable and safe in their environment. If they’re staying with me, I give them a quiet, clean space to relax, and they get plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day.
“Tiarra was excellent with our pet. She was able to calm our dog during our time away. He had never been left alone in his life. This was a big deal!!!! Tiarra will definitely be my “go to” when we need services. She did an amazing job & we tipped 😊”
“Jaclyn was a great pet sitter for my 2 kitties who have not been alone for any longer than one day. She was great with them and tried to get the shy one to come out and play. Very reliable and more that happy to help make us feel confident that they are in good hands. Already have plans to have Jaclyn care for our kitties again this summer.”
About: I am new to the pet sitting game, but I am not new to taking care of my responsibilities well. I am a part-time live-in caregiver for my 92-year-old grandmother, and I housesit and pet-sit for my friends. My references are available upon request! I can’t wait to take care of your pets! I’m currently working part-time, so I have more availability to do pet care. I have religious obligations that I also work around. I will not accept jobs that conflict with my work schedule so that I can be there for your pets! I make sure to respect my clients’ homes as my own, and return everything to as it was given to me. The pets are lives that are entrusted to me, and God says that we must take care of our domestic animals, so I take that responsibility, seriously, and religiously.
About: Even though I don't have a lot of certified training, I know how to show my love and affection to each and everyone pets just like I have in the past for my own. I am currently working part-time and also going to school. I can take care of your fur baby after 3p.m. in the weekday and before 4 p.m. on Saturday and free on Sunday. I will treat every one's pet with love, care, respect and patience that they need and treat them as one of my own family members.
About: I used to help care for a friend/family member’s fur kids, and honestly, I miss it more than I expected. When I moved out, they haven’t needed me as much, but a little sad for me! I miss the walks, the feeding routines, and all those quiet little bonding moments. I may be new to Rover, but I see it as the perfect excuse to get back to something I really enjoy. Think of me as your pet’s cool aunt with patience, care, and a lot of affection. My top priority is making every pet feel safe and comfortable, like they’re with someone they already trust. And yes, I fully believe in extra belly rubs and a little goofy energy when needed. I’m pretty flexible right now, so I’d really appreciate some advance notice to help me plan my schedule. I’d also love to do a quick meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, secure, and at ease. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, walks or park runs, bringing some goofy energy, or just relaxing together. Of course, plenty of belly rubs whenever they’re wanted. I adapt to whatever they need. I’m also happy to follow any instructions you have to keep things consistent for your fur kid.
“Jen was fantastic. She handled my sometimes not so well behaved cat perfectly and took some awesome pictures. Responsible and communicated well- would love to have Jen watch my cats again sometime.”
About: Hello! I am a Corgi mom ready to share the love and care with your fur babies! I have spent my whole life around animals. I grew up with Chocolate Labs, and as a kid, I pet sat for the neighborhood dogs and cats while our neighbors traveled. My husband and I raised our 3 year-old corgi from a puppy, and I must say he is a well-socialized gentleman. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I am looking to take on some pet visits and dog walking because I believe every animal deserves a buddy to make sure they can go out for a potty break during the day! I will treat your pet like I would my own. I will make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve while you are busy. I pride myself on communication and attention to detail, so no instruction will go ignored. Can't wait to meet your pet friends! I am self-employed as a running coach, so I have quite a bit of flexibility in my schedule. I can make morning, lunchtime, afternoon, and/or evening visits to your pet on all weekdays, and some weekends. I have experience walking all dogs on leash, including large dogs, like my in-laws' Giant Schnauzer. I follow the pet parent's protocol for how I operate when caring for your pet, but always use my best judgement to ensure safety for all people, pets, and property! Note that all pet care will be provided by me only!
“Steffen is really great with my English bulldog. She is stubborn but he made the adjustment and was patient with her and now they’re great. They walk around the whole block with ease.”

Best sitter in the Hartford area — super flexible with timing, very responsive, and took amazing care of my pup. You can really tell Ifan genuinely loves dogs and make them feel comfortable and safe. I appreciated the constant updates, photos, and how accommodating they were with scheduling. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter in the Hartford area!
We lucked out with Erin and so did our dog. Our dog is not used to being with people she doesn’t know, but Erin made her feel very comfortable. Erin’s photographs and report when she left were reassuring and made us feel comfortable as well. This was our first experience with Rover. Erin’s positivity with our dog and attention to our requests exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Erin and would definitely work with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in South Windsor is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $41 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,257 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across South Windsor. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Windsor. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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 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.
