About: I’ve been caring for and dog-sitting for family, neighbors, and friends for over 10 years, including paid pet-sitting. I have experience with both small and large dogs with different personalities and love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and making sure they feel comfortable. I currently work as a private basketball coach, so I have plenty of availability during the day to hang out, play, and go for walks. I’m also available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting on weekends. I provide attentive, reliable, and personalized care in your pet’s home and during walks or drop-in visits. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while giving them plenty of one-on-one attention, exercise, and affection. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.
“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.”
“Rhonda was absolutely fantastic caring for our dog when we couldn’t be with her! She went above and beyond (especially when we had some bathroom accidents indoors ?). Will definitely be using her again! Thank you!”
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’ve cared for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 10. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and give plenty of love to their pets. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and cats always treating them like part of my family. I love keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule, so I can spend plenty of time with pets each day. I’m available for dog walking, cat care, playtime, and more. I make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable in my care. I provide a calm, clean, and pet friendly environment, and I follow all instructions from owners closely.
“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.”
“Skarlett dropped in on our cat while we were away. She took care of everything we needed, communicated well and was quick to respond. She sent us videos and pictures! We were extremely glad to see how happy our cat was with a visitor. We would definitely book Skarlett again in the future.”
“This is our third booking with Christyna. When our heater went out due to the snowstorm, she didn’t hesitate to head back and help reset it. Thanks to Christyna, we came home to a happy and healthy Mai.”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, I helped care for my family’s Shih Tzu, Kelly, who lived a long life and gave me experience caring for an older dog and understanding the extra patience and attention senior pets need. More recently, I had my Frenchie, Tyson, who recently passed away. We spent so much time together going on daily 3-mile walks, cuddling, playing, and simply enjoying each other’s company. Caring for him taught me how important consistency, love, patience, and attentiveness are when it comes to pets. What sets me apart is the genuine care and connection I build with animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them with the same love, comfort, and attention I gave my own dogs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just calm companionship, I’m happy to adapt to their personality and routine. I’ve always had a dog in my life, and I truly enjoy the companionship, activity, and happiness they bring every day. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time with dogs. I’m available every morning for walks and again after 5:30 PM for afternoon/evening walks. I love starting the day with long walks and giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I’m also available for boarding on Fridays through Sundays. On weekends, I enjoy spending extra time with pups, whether that’s relaxing together, grabbing a pup cup, or visiting the dog park if that’s something your dog enjoys! I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. In my home, pets will have lots of attention, supervised outdoor time, and space to relax. We have a small fenced-in yard, and I love spending time outside with dogs for fresh air, playtime, and walks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m happy to follow their normal routine and any instructions they provide to help their pet feel comfortable and secure. If crating is part of their routine, I’m comfortable using a crate both in my home or the client’s home when needed. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I always try to make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while in my care
About: Ive taken care of dogs at a very young age considering Ive had them as pets. To me, animals are a part of your family who you may not always trust with just anyone. I guarantee to care, love, and have best forms of communication when welcoming your pets into my home. Im currently working a part/time as a medical assistant in milford. With weekends completely off, my weekly schedule varies but i do have an hour lunch which allows me to stop home. My lovely humble home has a fenced backyard and offers two parks & grass field I can walk them to for some exploring. I currently have no pets so all my focus will be on your pup. Im completely comfortable with being on furniture or snuggling with me. I consider myself a very disciplined human with day to day goals and routines, meaning I will respect all rules and accommodations to your pups food schedule, walking and Potty trainings.
“Kristin is always great with our kitty, Izzy, and happy our new puppy did well with her, too - of course! Always communicative and caring with our fur babies. Thank you!”
About: I love all animals and have grown up with dogs, cats, and small reptiles. Recently having volunteered at an animal shelter, I'd love to gain more experience working with dogs. Whether its playing fetch all day or a nice long walk, spending time with dogs and making them and of course, you the pet parent happy is my goal. I'm very energetic and hard working and able to handle small dogs all the way to medium sized dogs. I'm always happy to meet new people and animals and happily come with treats for the dogs. Although I am a dog walker, I am more than capable of taking care of cats, non-insectivorous reptiles, small rodents, and small and medium sized parrots. I hope to give your dogs a fun filled day :). Im available the weekend and tuesdays and thursdays. Im a part time worker and student so my weekends are always free. On tuesdays and thursdays I can take early mornings and noons before my classes Im very attentive to animals and their needs, I always bring treats with me (please let me know pet allergies beforehand) Im very good with high energy dogs as I have one myself(we run for an hour and then do agility work and play fetch)
About: I love animals, especially dogs. They bring me joy and I wish to keep them safe and sound for you. They are my family too Currently working Mon- Friday 8-5pm, willing to do weekends and if necessary, weekdays but please contact ahead of time as I work 30 mins away. My husky lives at my parents house with a fenced yard, since my place doesn’t accept large dogs. He is well cared for and loved
“Hannah is an excellent Cat Sitter. My cat is very shy and normally does not come out for anyone but me. Sorcerer has connected with Hannah and comes out to eat and for pets.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and taking care of pets is something I genuinely love. I have had many experiences caring for dogs and cats, and my stays have always gone very well. I currently have a dog and two cats of my own, so I have plenty of hands-on experience with animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, companionship, and exercise throughout the day. I also have my own vehicle, so I can easily come to your home or take your dog out for a walk, hike, or other adventure. I live in Milford, CT, and I’m happy to care for pets in Milford and the surrounding areas. I work from home and I can control my schedule, so I have a lot of time to take care of your dog or cat I provide pet care in your home and always follow your instructions and your pet’s routine carefully.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stratford
Christyna is so amazing!! She is such an animal lover and has such great experience, she had wonderful communication and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing she was taking care of my kitties especially the one who needed medicine, she was so incredible I’d definitely recommend and use again!
Hannah was wonderful for our two 6yo cats. One needed some minor topical meds and she was able to handle it without issues. Received the cutest updates and truly helped put us at ease on our work trip. The boys seemed way less stressed than they normally would be if we went out of town, she did a great job of giving them some much needed attention - would absolutely book her again!
Josh was a fantastic sitter, and we had a great experience with him. He did drop-in visit and then house sat for us and took excellent care of our cat. What really stood out was how quickly he bonded with our cat who is shy and usually hides from people. Josh was reliable, communicative, and clearly very comfortable around animals. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and a house that was just as we left it. Overall, Josh did a wonderful job, and we would definitely hire him again in the future!
I had an absolutely wonderful experience with my cat sitter! I have three cats, and they all warmed up to her so quickly — which says a lot because they don’t always trust new people. She clearly has a natural way with animals and made them feel comfortable right away. She spent a lot of quality time with them during each visit, not just the basics. I could tell they were happy and relaxed in all the updates she sent. She was amazing about communication! I received regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Everything was spotless when I returned — litter boxes were cleaned, and everything was exactly as it should be. It’s such a relief knowing my cats were so well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring sitter. I will absolutely be booking her again! 🐱💛
Sydney was awsome! She responded immediately to my inquiry on short notice. She was very accomodating with her schedule to meet our elderly kitty and get the information and special instructions she needed to take good care of him while we were away. Sydney sent us pictures and responded immediately to my text messages. I felt confidient he was well cared for. Will definintley contact Syndney again!

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.
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 .

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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters 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 sitter.
