“Susan did a wonderful job taking care of my pets this weekend! She was able to schedule a meet-and-greet on short notice and was very thorough collecting the care instructions for my two large dogs and three cats. She was so patient with my very large and active Labradoodle and St. Bernadoodle. My dogs seemed very attached to her quite quickly and she did a fantastic job with them. She arrived promptly according to the care schedule, sent detailed updates and was extremely professional and lovely to work with. I am so happy to have found such an excellent sitter in my area and will gladly continue to rebook Susan!! Highly recommended!”
About: I have always been passionate about animals which led me to work in veterinary medicine. My job is incredibly rewarding, getting to take care of cats and dogs and learn about the intricacies of maintaining their health. I am now working with aquatic animals as well! I am hard working, considerate and always up for a challenge! I have over 2 years of veterinary experience and a year of dog/ cat sitting experience. Hello! I am a former veterinary technician who is now working full time at the mystic aquarium. I would absolutely love to care for your pets in my free time. I am available on my lunch breaks (1 hour), before and after work and on weekends. I am available for dog walking, house calls and house sitting! I am very organized and maintain a schedule within my work and everyday life. I will tailor my time according to your pets needs, making sure they get their walks, meals and enrichment properly in a way that suits them best!
“Kristine is one of the best out there! I feel so comfortable having her walk my dogs- she truly cares about them which is comforting to me when I can’t be there! 10/10 recommend.”
“Sean is simply excellent. His communication with us is outstanding and prompt, and if something in our booking needs to change, he’s incredibly proactive. We also love and appreciate the care and attention that he gives to our puppy on their afternoon walks. We’re incredibly lucky to have Sean!”
“Jennifer has been so great with my anxious dog Cambria. She accommodated my request for a few meetings with all of us together so Cambria would be more comfortable when Jennifer came to our house for care. Cambria had her first solo visit yesterday and Jennifer sent me pictures which was wonderful to receive and eased my mind. I would recommend Jennifer to everyone who is a little nervous about leaving their dog, she is so kind and compassionate and made my anxious dog feel at ease.”
“Thanks for spending the time with Jenny walking her and letting her interact with the kids. That socialization is so important and also wears her out. She does love a car ride!”
“Olivia was amazing! Kept me updated with pictures of my dogs and answered any questions I had! She even took it a step further to help clean up his hair balls (I have a husky)! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”

About: My experience includes working with horses, donkeys, sheep, chickens, fish, reptiles, birds and more. I have my own dog Paul, and I've owned dogs and cats in the past as well. My most recent certification is in wildife rehabilitation, and I work part-time as an educator at an aquarium. I surround myself with animals and I hope to do so for the rest of my life. I work on Sundays and Mondays, volunteer on Thursdays, and may be called in on other days. I am responsible for my own animals at home as well. As long as I have time to plan for animal care for others, I will make that care a priority. Clearly written instructions on specific care for your animals is appreciated, but I can use my knowledge and experience to make the right calls if anything comes up.
About: I've been taking care of animals my whole life! I have experience with dogs, cats, large animals, reptiles and pocket pets. I have the knowledge to handle emergency situations if needed and can administer injections, sub Q fluids, medications etc. I offers nail trimming for well behaved dogs/cats. Have a high energy dog that needs a little extra enrichment? No problem! I love to hike and can offer basic training as well! My animals are my life, so let me take care of yours like they're my own! I currently work full time in pet care services! I offer around the clock care for pets and their owners! I love what I do and have never been happier! I don’t offer in my home services due to one of my dogs being selective of others. In your home we could spend the day in many ways. Playtime, snuggles, walks or hikes. Let me know what you prefer I am happy to accommodate most requests! I also have a vast inventory of enrichment toys that I can utilize for any pet!
About: I’ve taken care of friends and family’s furry friends for the last 15 years. They have relied on me to walk, feed, and take care of their pets often. Until recently, I had my own senior dog and had taken care of puppies, adults, seniors, and even dogs with disabilities. I currently work part time and am able to fit in walks or drop in visits around my regular daily schedule. I usually only know my schedule two weeks in advance. I am not able to take care of your pets in my home but am happy and able to keep them comfortable in their own space!
“Isis was very professional and helped walk our dog Reba 3 days. My dog is very timid but Isis did not disappoint, she helped us out so much! Communication was also top notch and I really appreciate that. Thanks Isis! Will be booking you again in the future!”
About: I’m a 41 year old professional who loves animals. I have a 4 year old cat of my own and have always wanted a puppy as a child. Animals are loving and calming to me.

If it’s the right fit for your family and pup I would stay 1 night a week and definitely weekends overnight while people are away or traveling. I am an open communicator, reliable, respectful, trustworthy professional. Please get to know me so I can get to know you and your animal has the best experience possible. I currently have lots of availability and I would be my pleasure to walk and check in for your pups and cats several times a week.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Stonington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Stonington after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Every walker 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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 walker.
