“Cara was fantastic with our two dogs and two cats! One of our dogs is very anxious, but he warmed up to her so quickly which is always a great sign. She was super communicative, checked in with pictures often, and left our house very clean and tidy. This was our first time asking her to stay over and it definitely won’t be our last. Thank you, Cara!”

About: I bring my own brand of kindness and patience when it comes to pets. They deserve love and attention the same as any other living thing and I enjoy bringing that joy out in them. I am currently working part-time as a maintenance superintendent. I am able to respond to requests during the day and coordinate with pet owners around my schedule to make sure their pets are cared for over the course of the entire day. I have multiple cats in my own home who live in harmony with each other due to the individual care and attention they receive from me.

About: Animals have always been a massive part of my life. I grew up caring for dogs of various sizes and breeds, so I’m highly adaptable to different temperaments and energy levels. I’m also fully experienced with cat care and love giving back to the pet community by volunteering at the Charlestown animal shelter. I treat every guest like a member of my own family, ensuring they get the exact structure, love, and care they are used to at home. With full-time open availability right now, my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am home throughout the day and ready to provide your pets with constant supervision, structured playtime, and plenty of love and attention I offer a calm, quiet, and pet-safe condo environment that is absolutely perfect for small-to-medium dogs or cats who thrive on one-on-one attention. Because I don't have resident pets, your fur baby will be the sole focus of my care! For outdoor time, we will enjoy frequent, structured walks on a secure leash around the neighborhood for potty breaks and fresh air. Inside, my home is a peaceful sanctuary where your pet can relax, feel completely safe, and get endless cuddles on the couch

“Sara was absolutely incredible. She was communicative, prompt, knowledgeable, and put my mind at ease. My pup is an old girl with ailing health and a picky mind when it comes to food. Sara showed up in the creativity to hook my kid up. On top of that, my flight fell through to the next day- she was flexible, allowing me to focus on other matters. Bless. I will definitely be using Sara again in the future. HIGHLY recommend”

About: I’ve helped take care of my dogs and cat my entire life! I’ve always loved spending time with pets, and as I became a teenager I started watching other people’s animals. It’s the best job in the world! I started going on rover visits with my mom who’s also an animal lover, who inspired me to create my own account! From lizards, to bunnies, to cats and dogs, I love them all! Pet care is my primary focus, my schedule is very flexible and centered around pets. I’m happy to work with you and your pets needs! I am willing to offer whatever your pet needs! Whether that be exercise, grooming, socialization, enrichment activities, or feeding! It varies depending on your animals needs.

About: I have been a lifelong animal lover, growing up with both dogs and cats and continuing to adopt and care for them throughout my adult life. Caring for animals has always been a natural and joyful part of my home. I have experience with daily routines, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, and providing consistent companionship. I also had a beloved lovebird growing up, which gave me experience tending to smaller pets with gentleness and attention. What sets me apart is my patience, kindness, and genuine heart for animals. While I do not have formal training experience, I am consistent, attentive, and willing to reinforce basic training practices with calm encouragement. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with safety, affection, and respect at the center of their care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am available most weekdays, especially during school hours, which allows me to provide dependable daytime walks, check-ins, feedings, and companionship. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs and routine. In a client’s home, I maintain their regular schedule for feedings, walks, playtime, and any special care, while keeping the home tidy and respected. If in a client's home, I am willing to water plants, bring in mail, and assist with regular maintenance care. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe space with close supervision, consistency, and plenty of affection. My goal is always to help pets feel secure, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

Kaitlynn provided consistent updates on Cora including many photos which my family & I loved to receive multiple times throughout the day. She followed Cora’s feeding & medication routine perfectly & overall my anxious 65 lb potties mix was so happy & content for the whole stay. I highly recommend Kaitlynn she was wonderful!”

About: I have had now 5 rescues of my own, including our recent rescue of our kittens, all from different sectors of the US, different backgrounds, ages and breeds. I truly wouldnt be who I am today without my furbabies. I have raised my youngest dog from a few months old as well as provided senior care and sick care to my oldest dog. My goal is to give every dog/cat the same amount of love I give my babies. I am familiar with all sorts of behaviors, bigger dogs, dogs who don’t love and dogs that need special attention. I'm very patient and would love to help care for your dog/cat. This is because I understand the struggle to look for a trusted sitter, especially when life and the unexpected happens. I want you to leave knowing that your dog/cat is in safe hands and will get the love they always deserve! If your dog/cat needs some fun activity, needs a friend on the couch, or just wants a lot of belly rubs and snuggles then you can count on me! While I do have a full time job, I am able to adjust my schedule that not only works so much better with my day to day but also having some flexibility while caring for your pets. I have recently made a career change for the time being. My true dream of owning an animal rescue and adoption center one day might be a bit farther of a dream but doesn’t mean I can’t help with others in need. Even with my work schedule, I can adjust my schedule to match yours as close or exact as possible. Please don't hesitate to reach out. My babies have their own little home/crate they are in while we are not home. As soon as we are home, they have our entire finished lower level to run around and play as well as our back yard. While caring at clients home I have similar care protocols as well as having fenced in yards and/or runners they can play on. Whatever care you need, you can trust me to follow.

FAQs for House Sitting - Stonington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Stonington is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $100 per night. 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 489 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stonington. 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 Stonington 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 Stonington 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Stonington 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 , 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 .

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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Stonington. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
