“Huge thanks to Julie for taking such great care of our cat, Mira! It’s always a bit tough leaving her, but Julie made it so easy. She was always on time and sent the best detailed updates and cute photos, which we looked forward to every day. We could tell the second we got home that Mira had been in great hands, she was so happy and relaxed. If you’re looking for someone reliable who truly cares about your pets, Julie is the one! We’ll definitely be booking her again.”

About: I was born and raised having dogs. I have been lucky enough to have been a dog mom to several amazing dogs. After my divorce, I left corporate life and focused on my love for dogs. I am taking dog nutrition courses and I am a vet tech at a vaccine clinic. I am hoping one day to have my own brand of all natural pet food and treats. I can travel pretty much anywhere. I look forward to meeting your babies. I work at the mobile vaccine clinic on Tuesday and Saturday. I keep my days flexible for clients and studying pet nutrition. I am single with no children and lots of flexibly to fit your needs I actually love dogs, and they can sense it. Safety of the pet is always my number one focus. I can easily build a relationship based on trust with you and your pet.
“Hailey was truly exceptional! She took incredible care of our cat Mochi while we were on our honeymoon; not only making sure Mochi had food and some socializing while we were away, but she also brought in a few packages we had delivered while we were gone. She even made sure the litter box was clean when we got home. She sent lots of photos of our girl while we were gone and made the hardest part of the trip - leaving Mochi at home - a non-issue with how great she was. Thank you Hailey for everything!!”
“Ashley has been a god send to our family (and our pup). She has helped our family out last minute on many occasions, and when we are both at work my mind is at peace knowing Ashley is scheduled to care for our dog. She is reliable and I know my dog is in good hands when she is sitting her. I can’t say thank you enough for her help.”
“We needed a new caretaker for our cat and we are lucky to have found Alex. She is a caring person, she was authentically interested in understanding our cat’s preferences and habits. She took great care of our cat while we were away. I’d highly recommend Alex”
“Alex watched my dogs for several days while I was out of town and took fantastic care of them. She played fetch every time she went by, sent several pictures, and let me know anything out of the ordinary. I would highly recommend letting Alex take care of your fur babies!”
About: I’ve rescued dogs since I was young, grew up with dogs my entire life and have a dog of my own now. I’m always willing to make a new friend since I enjoy their company and taking them out or just spending time with them indoors. Always happy to take care of yours!! I’m currently home during the summer and work from home so I can be pretty flexible with taking the dogs out to the park or for a walk since I can give them the attention they need. I live in an condo so I don’t a yard but there’s a trail right behind the condos where I can take the dogs out for walk and i can also offer taking the dog(s) to the dog park if the owner allows me to. They will be leashed on the walks and i will follow certain restrictions and requirements depending on the dog and what their owner tells me.
About: If I can manage 30 middle schoolers, I can handle your dog." Hi there! My name is Michael, and I am a Cheshire local with 18 years of experience as a teacher, a dad of three kids, and most importantly — a dog dad of two. Caring for animals is not a side hustle for me; it is simply an extension of the way I live my life. My two dogs, Laney and Monster Truck, are at the center of our family. They go on walks, they cuddle on the couch, and yes — they are absolutely spoiled. When your pet stays with me, they become part of that same routine. What you can expect from me: 📍 Daily photo and text updates — I know you miss them. 🏡 A home environment with a yard, kids, and two friendly resident dogs. 🚶 Regular walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention. 🧠 Patience, structure, and consistency — 18 years in a classroom will do that to you. 💬 Clear, prompt communication before, during, and after every booking. A little more about our home: I am available primarily on weekends and summers, which means when I have your pet, I am fully present — not squeezing in visits between a 9-to-5. Your dog gets my undivided attention. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. My own two dogs are a larger weiner dog and a medium sized hound/boxer mix, so I understand what it means to manage both ends of the spectrum. Whether you need a dog walker, a drop-in visit, or a full boarding stay while you travel, I would love to meet your pup. Let's set up a free meet-and-greet so your dog can check me out first. Your pet deserves someone who treats them like part of our pack. Pet care is already woven into my daily life. As a dog dad of two, my mornings start with a walk and my evenings end with one. Adding your pet to that routine is natural and effortless for our family. On weekends and during the summer — when I am available for bookings — I am home and fully present, which means your dog is never an afterthought. They are part of the day from start to finish. What you can expect from me: 📍 Daily photo and text updates — I know you miss them. 🏡 A home environment with a yard, kids, and two friendly resident dogs. 🚶 Regular walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention. 🧠 Patience, structure, and consistency — 18 years in a classroom will do that to you. 💬 Clear, prompt communication before, during, and after every booking.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Southington
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!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Southington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.

- 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.
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.
