About: I have always pet-sat or stopped over at friends and families houses to be with their pets when they can’t. I also had 2 dogs of my own which has provided me with experience with both large and small dogs. Trying to help others now! I am a full-time registered nurse which means I work 3-4 12 hour shifts a week. Looking to hangout with pets on my off days! I have been a sitter for both children and animals for years, I definitely understand the respect and trust required between sitter and owner/family member.
About: Hi, I'm thrilled to help care for your furry family members! With 3 years of professional kennel and daycare experience, I bring a high level of responsibility and expertise to every visit. Whether your dog needs a brisk mid-day walk to burn off energy, or a thorough drop-in visit complete with a exact feeding routine and medication, I've got you covered. I'm comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, ensuring your dog feels safe and respected. I work at a daycare/kennel throughout the week and Volunteer on Mondays at a rescue, so I’m always around and taking care of dogs and cats I love playing with dogs and giving them the attention needed. I can feed them, I’m capable of following instructions, including medical instructions. I don’t have any experience poking pets with needles for medicine, but I can do pills and topical sprays and other things like that!
“Michelle is epic, she accommodated me on such a short notice (5 hours!) and she is super sweet with our senior dog Mayonnaise. She sent a few videos and a photo of her short time with him, as we just needed her for a drop in. Thank you so much to Michelle, and we already have her booked for more services. She’s awesome and responds fast!”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life, both big and small. I currently have 2 dogs of my own, Twig and Bugs and I foster puppies for a local rescue. I love all dogs! I work as a nurse in the NICU and typically work 36 hours a week night shift. I usually have an entire week off every third week. My schedule is pretty flexible and I am willing to do what I can to work around your needs! I would love to take your dogs for a walk or let them out in your yard. I would even bring them to the park to let them run around as much as possible. I’m not a huge fan of dog parks because they can be unpredictable, but I will do whatever works best for you and your pup!
About: As someone who knows that your pet is a part of your family, you can trust that I will do my absolute best to take care of them. I have been a pet sitter for 4 years, providing exceptional care to the pets of neighbors, family, friends and clients. I have experience caring for pets with special needs, dietary restrictions, and medication. I’m currently working full time, but I’m available for overnights with any pet! I’m okay with traveling the distance to your house to watch your pet as well as house sit if needed! I understand that animals feel most comfortable around familiar surroundings, and wouldn’t want to displace them. I’m very flexible, just let me know when I’d be needed. The environment will be your own home. Your pet will not feel displaced, and will remain comfortable in his or her own bed. I understand that familiarity is key when owners are away.
“Jan and Jamie were great during their drop-ins with our cat and we're respectful to my home during the visit. Would highly recommend their services and reach out again in the future.”

Although I love them all, my biggest love is for senior animals or animals with disabilities. I have been fostering dogs and cats for over 6 years now and focus mostly on paralyzed dogs, senior dogs, and even ‘fospice’ dogs, dogs who may have a limited amount of time left on this planet but it's truly an honor to give them all the love and being there the whole way.

About: I've had pets since a young age from lizards, cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, turtles, guinea pigs and birds. I have a small dog of my own so I know I can give your pets lots the love and attention too whether they have fur, scales, or feathers!

I do have a dog of my own so I also want to make sure all your pets get along with my Jax, who loves other animals.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Southington
McKenzie was absolutely fantastic with our puppy! She was very communicative from the very start. We felt extremely comfortable and confident trusting her with our puppy. She was on time and followed our instructions to a T. We will definitely be using her again. Thanks, McKenzie!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mike! I trust very few people with my 3 dogs — Barry (12), Fiona (3), and George (1) — because they all have completely different personalities and needs. Mike has been incredibly patient, caring, and attentive with each of them, and it’s obvious how much he genuinely loves animals. I know they are in great hands when they’re with him. One of the things I appreciate most is how dependable and accommodating he is. Even with very last-minute requests, Mike always does his best to fit me into his schedule. He is also fantastic with communication. He keeps me updated before, during, and after visits, and always sends pictures of the pups on walks and playing. I highly recommend Mike, my dogs love him!

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.
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 Southington 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!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
