About: I have been taking care of dogs almost my whole life, and finally decided to branch out and get more clients on my roster. I am a nineteen year old college student studying to become a music teacher, and I have two small dogs of my own. I have experience with large dogs, medium dogs, tiny dogs- you name it! I’ve worked with puppies to seniors. I can’t wait to help take care of your furry friends! I’m currently attending community college in Enfield during the week (except Friday’s) and spend the weekends with my parents and my sister in their summer home. When I’m not in class, I am taking care of my dogs by doing things like feeding them, brushing their teeth, brushing my long haired dog, and any other needs they might require. I have experience in dog training which includes basic commands, resource guarding, and crating. My female cocker spaniel was fully trained by me, and my male dog knows a few tricks.
“Deborah was wonderful with our dog. She brought her on great walks and took the time to give her live and snuggles. Kelby clearly adored her when we got back from our trip!”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for dogs and grew up surrounded by them, which led to years of hands-on experience in pet sitting, basic obedience training, and daily care. I’m especially patient with and attentive to dogs who may need a little extra support, whether that’s reinforcing routines, offering calm guidance, or simply providing extra care and affection. Until recently, I had an Australian Shepherd at home who was well-trained, active, and loved the company of other dogs. Saying goodbye to her in March 2026 was incredibly difficult, and that experience has only deepened my empathy and commitment to providing thoughtful, attentive care to every pet I work with. I continue to maintain an active lifestyle with regular walks and outdoor time, and I enjoy creating a safe, engaging, and positive environment tailored to each dog’s needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize clear communication, consistency, and trust. If you’re looking for someone reliable, experienced, and genuinely invested in your dog’s well-being, I’d be happy to connect and see if we’re a good fit. I provide pet care in mornings, Midday, and in the evenings. I can be flexible with my work schedule as an occupational therapist to accommodate yours I work from home. Willing and ready to support you and your fur baby with the care they need while you’re away! Looking forward to meeting you!
“Brittany was amazing with my pitty. This was my first time having someone check in on her, especially, since she is a very hyper & energetic pitbull. I will definitely be requesting service from her in the future!”
“Sarah is an amazing help! I used her consistently for almost 2 months while I was busy in school. She came by multiple times a week (sometimes with short notice) to check on my pup. She cared for him like he was her own and I never had any hesitations with her. I would HIGHLY recommend Sarah!”
“Liz is amazing! She was incredibly attentive and caring with our cats and kept us updated throughout the whole process, which really put my mind at ease while I was out of the country. She went the extra mile, and we’re so happy we found her. Thank you, Liz! 💗🐱”
About: I have always had a pet dog and ever since I was a teenager, I’d dog-sit for family and neighbors. Since college, I’ve been pet-sitting ajd dog walking on a more professional level. I’ve babysat for a few hours, simply for a walk, but have also watched multiple high energy dogs for up to two weeks. I’ve cared for dogs under a year old and up to 13 years old. I’ve always loved dogs and find them very easy to get along with and care for no matter their size, age, or personality. I have also cared for kittens a few weeks old, senior cats, administering medication orally, grooming them if they have long hair etc. Cats have a very different energy than dogs but I enjoy taking care of them just as much as dogs. I am currently in between jobs so I have a lot of free time to care for other dogs, whether it is a short walk or a multi-hour play date, etc. I always follow whatever guidance I am provided by pet parents. This means if you are only comfortable with your dog on a leash or lead while in your yard, I strictly follow that. If there are specific commands to use, certain behavior to watch out for or discourage, particular toys or activities they enjoy, I always follow what information I am given and am always open and communicate well about any issues or concerns that might arise on my end.
“She was great with the dogs and did the job she was supposed to do. She also brought in a package and was clear with communication and attentive to our concerns. Also took on the job same day with an hour notice when another person canceled, would def recommend and use again .”
About: I’ve had my own dog, Lily, for 12 years—she’s been with me since she was just 2 months old. Caring for her throughout every stage of life has given me hands on experience with everything from puppy training to adult dog care. I genuinely love dogs and feel comfortable with their different needs and personalities. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve also dog sat for several families in my neighborhood. I’m now looking to continue dog sitting over the summer before starting my career as a Physician Assistant in the fall. I’m excited to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care for every dog I look after. This summer I am only working in the morning on Saturdays and afternoon on Sundays, making my schedule free and flexible for your pet’s needs! I am expected to start my full time job in September, but I am happy to continue dog sitting for you when time allows : ) I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, crate use, and any special needs or medications. I understand that every dog is different and has individualized needs, and I am happy to help them in whatever way I can. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines. I also provide regular updates and photos, so owners feel confident their pet is safe and happy while they’re away.

Mary is an amaaaaaaazing person and was extremely helpful with Bhairava. She was super flexible and always there to help, even with my last minute changes.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Suffield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Suffield 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 .

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 Suffield 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.
