About: I have experience caring for dogs through boarding, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I’ve looked after multiple dogs and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. My goal is to make every dog feel happy and cared for like they’re part of the family. I am currently a full-time online college student so I am mostly always home and can guarantee exercise, playtime, and safety for your four-legged friend. I provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for every dog in my care. My home features a fully fenced backyard where dogs can run and play freely. The yard is equipped with puppy sun chairs, a puppy pool, and a variety of outdoor toys to keep them active, relaxed, and entertained. I also have a friendly puppy who enjoys playing and socializing, giving your dog the opportunity for companionship during their stay. My goal is to create a welcoming, home-like setting where every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Taylor is fantastic with our dog! She takes great care of her, is on time and communicates clearly about her visits! Cheez is always happy and calm when we come home from her time with Taylor and we love that we have someone we can trust to care for her while we’re away!”

“Betsey was wonderful with my cats while I was away on a week long trip. They warmed up to her very quickly. She went above and beyond to provide quality care including sending daily updates with many photos, feeding the fish, bringing in the mail and more. I felt secure knowing my kitties were in good hands.”

“She was honestly amazing with our two cats. They both have very specific personalities and aren’t always the easiest, and she took the time to really understand them. You could tell she was paying attention to what each of them needed instead of just going through the motions. It genuinely felt like they weren’t just being “watched,” they were spending time with someone who cared about them. That meant a lot to us while we were away.”

I have experience working with clients pets in their homes, and caring for them accordingly with great respect. I abide by the same principles as the outdoors - Leave No Trace!!

“It was my first time experience using Rover to find a pet sitter to visit my cat while I'm on vacation. And I'm very happy that I found Hannah. She is an amazing person and a great communicator. She explained everything, came for a meet and greet visit and kept me updated on a daily basis. I felt at ease while on vacation knowing that my cat is well taken care of by Hannah. I will definitely use Hannah's assistant again and highly recommended her as a reliable pet sitter who takes a great care of pets.”

“Absolutely amazing experience! Katie was the best! Made us feel so comfortable to know Layla was in great hands! The daily check in and Rover card with photos was terrific! Thank you again Katie, Layla loves you!”

About: I have grown up having pets, so I understand how they become part of the family and the importance of having someone trustworthy to take care of them. I have been pet sitting for families throughout Fairfield County and New Haven County over the last six years. Whether your dog is small or large, needs special food or medication, likes long walks or just playing in the backyard, I have experience with it all! During the summer, I will be available for all pet care needs! Let’s create a schedule that best aligns with my part time job and your pet’s routine. I make sure your pet is cared for in the same way I would look after my cats and dog, with plenty of affection, exercise and treats! I do my best to follow their routine while you are away, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and loved.
“I cannot stress enough how wonderful, caring, and kind Moe is. We trust her 100% with our dog and wouldn't use anyone else to take care of Ruby. We truly appreciate you Moe!”

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is the personalized care and attention I give to every dog. I treat each pet like a member of my own family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I provide plenty of playtime, exercise, updates, and affection, while also following each dog’s unique routine and needs. With my experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, pet owners can feel confident knowing their furry friend is in a caring and reliable environment. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule. As a teacher, I have a structured routine and plenty of experience providing care, supervision, and attention throughout the day. During the summer, I am home full-time, which allows me to dedicate even more time to the pets in my care. This means frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of companionship throughout the day. Because I am home, pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy a safe, comfortable, and attentive environment while their owners are away. I have a fenced yard with a nice size backyard where the dogs can run around and enjoy the weather. And they will be supervised

About: I’ve worked with dogs for several years and have hands on experience with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have a dog of my own named Roma, and my first job was working at a doggy daycare easily my favorite part of every day. I loved getting to know each dog and their unique personalities. I always make sure your pet is in the best hands and treat every pup as if they were my own. I also provide photo updates during visits so you can feel at ease I’m not currently in school, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule and accommodate a wide range of needs. I’m available during weekdays, weekends, and can also work holidays as needed. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent care, last minute bookings, and extra attention when your pet needs it most If requested by the owner, I’m happy to take pups on walks. During visits, I focus on playtime, enrichment, and giving treats if permitted, while making sure your pup is happy, well fed, and properly cared for
About: I have had dogs since I was a kid. I owned my own Golden Retriever for the past 12 yrs. I sadly lost him recently. I have watched dogs for friends for many years. Need more time with animals these days:) Cats- as a dog lover first I never thought I was a “ cat person” well I am. Love them too. Currently not working :) taking a break. With some notice or little I am very very happy to be home watching your pet. Let me know I have a cozy , clean house with a lovely fenced yard. Just missing the pitter patter of paws ❤️I have references and am in the medical field. I don’t smoke or do drugs.
About: I have experience caring for dogs in many ways, including: dog walking, play dates with other dogs, overnight dog sitting when the family is traveling and need help to stay with the dog those days they are away from home, or sometimes I have the authorization to bring them to my house, and daytime care. Through those years taking care of dogs I had a privilege to take care of 3/4 dogs at the same time, providing individualized attention and care to each furry companion. Dedicated to providing love and affection, I ensure that every dog in my care receives utmost comfort and attention. Prioritizing your dog's happiness and safety, our time together includes enjoyable walks in the park, fun playdates with other pups, and plenty of cuddles. Rest assured, your furry friend will always be in capable and caring hands with me. I'm currently working part-time, having time to dedicate to the dogs under my care. I prioritize their well-being by scheduling regular walks, play sessions, and ensuring they receive the attention they need throughout the day. I adjust my schedule to fit their needs, whether it's taking them for walks in the morning before I start work, checking in on them during the day, or spending quality time cuddling with them in the evening. Taking care of these furry friends isn't just a duty for me, it's a source of joy and fulfillment that enriches my daily life. In my house, I provide secure, worry-free environment for your beloved pets. I have a medium fenced backyard where I can take the dog to go potty and a great and friendly dog neighbor. My priority is to give the pet attention and make sure they will have love, and protection the whole stay!
About: I've always had dogs in my life, primarily large breeds, and currently own three dogs and three cats. I helped raise a litter of seven puppies from birth to 12 weeks, giving me extensive experience with puppy care and development. I've also dog-sat for family friends many times and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so both you and your pet can feel at ease. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work freelance for a marketing agency from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and companionship. I also stream online and bartend one evening per week, but my schedule allows me to be available throughout the day and accommodate most pet care needs. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routines and making sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. Since I only offer care in clients' homes, my goal is to keep your pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine in a familiar environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication administration (if needed), playtime, and any special care requirements. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and routine. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, active play, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I make sure they receive the attention and care they need while you're away. I also respect and care for your home as if it were my own, keeping things clean, secure, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're gone.
About: I have grown so fond of taking care of fur babies the more years I do it. I enjoy working with all different breeds and building a connection to the pets I take care of. I’ve learn to work with all ages, breeds, behaviors. The best part? Knowing that people entrust me to bring their fur babies back to me, and knowing that the dogs are excited to return. I have a part time job currently so I have plenty of time to be with your pet(s) whenever I’m not at work, so it’s flexible. I like to thoroughly ask questions about the dog I’ll be taking care of (food, any medications? Exercise? Do they like to play? Etc.) I want to make sure not only yourself but the dog is as comfortable as can be.

Lindsay was so great with my cat and dog! She gave them lots of attention and helped look after them (litter box, food, water, bathroom break etc!) She was also very communicative as well as friendly. I appreciate her helping us out the last two days and will definitely be asking her to come back.

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 Stratford 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.
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 Stratford 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Stratford with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
