About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals. I’ve had 1 bird, 1 ferret, 5 cats, and 6 dogs. I’ve trained 2 Dogs to obey basic commands and good potty habits. Im available for boarding on Fridays through Sundays. I work from home on Friday and I don’t work the weekends at all. I can also be flexible during week days as needed. I take my dogs for walks every 3 hours or at their request. We play fetch and tug-o-war in my backyard. My basement is a complete doggy daycare.
“Sarah is an excellent dog sitter! We have used Sarah's services for over a year, and her care has been consistently outstanding, especially with managing our dog's specific needs. Her communication skills are top-notch; we always receive frequent updates. It's not easy finding someone you trust with your pet, but Sarah is the best. She is professional, and dependable. Our dog is always so excited to see her, which tells us everything we need to know. We come home to a happy, well-cared-for dog every time. We are grateful for her excellent service and the peace of mind she provides. Highly recommended”
About: Hi and thanks for visiting my profile! I've had dogs around me since I was a small child. My own dog, Nemo is 11 years old shitzu and I've had him since he was 6 weeks old so I know how important and loved dogs are to their parents. I will ensure your dog walking and sitting experience starts and ends with lots of fresh water and hugs. I look forward to meeting your fur-baby to ensure I am the BEST fit for both of you. It is so important that your dog trusts me to provide him/her with a positive and upbeat experience each and every time. Feel free to reach out to me about additional services such as meal preparation, and administering medication. Thanks again for visiting my profile!
“Nikki took care of my dog for two days, and this whole experience has been excellent. She is caring and gentle to my animals, and also watched over my cats even though that wasn’t included in her duties. Thank you very much for that! I think Nikki genuinely cares about animals, and I would highly recommend her services. She has walked my dog, fed my dog, and played with him during the visits. I received photos from her while I was away from my home, and I feel very safe to have let her take care of my dog. Also, Nikki was very friendly and professional. I definitely would hire her to take care of my dog again next time I have to be away from home.”
About: I am an avid dog lover who has had a dog for over 30 years. I love all different breeds of dogs, and currently have a Maltese, Bichon, and and a Shitzu. I also am a Certified Vet Assistant, and love being with all animal types. I live on a small farm and recently opened my own pet sitting business because of my love and knowledge of animals. If you need somebody reliable , loving, and vet certified I am the person you need.When you cant be there for your pet I Will. Safety, trust and love. Exercise, playing, and walking a must. Being respectful and having pet insurance, helps the customer be at ease. Care, love and dog communication at its best. Constantly paying great attention to whichever client is in my home along with some space, and getting the animal adjusted to a new setting. Having the pet be comfortable with the new surroundings is vitally important.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 4, and then when I turned 12 I began taking care of other dogs around the neighborhood. I have had the enormous blessing of making friends of both human, canine, and feline through pet sitting & Rover. The profile says I had only one repeat client but I’ve had over eight families (in addition to many others by word of mouth) that have repeatedly used my loving care for their animals and homes. I had a very successful and full pet care business in multiple states including; Illinois, Utah, and California. I have house sat for more families than I can remember and all were happy and safe experiences for the pets, families, and me! I’m working a little part time and spend a lot of time taking care of myself and writing. Pet care has always worked into my every day and weekly schedule very easily and with excitement as I love to be around animals. I make sure to be aware of the environment and the animal before I make any big steps. I check for fences and make sure doors are closed. I have a cat right now that is very warm yet shy so when I get the chance to house pets in my home I know they will be separate and safe. I ensure that each animal is safe and seen in all environments whether it is outside on walks or in the backyard or even just in the kitchen.
“Doreen was an amazing sitter for Sadie! She updated me with a lot of pictures, videos, and description of her visit every day. She is very communicative and it’s obvious she loves animals. I’m so happy to have met her and completely trust her taking care of Sadie. 😊”
About: There’s always been a dog in my house ever since I was born. Sparky, Bobo, Patrick, and now my Delilah. I’m a big fan of every kind of dog and love meeting new ones! I’m usually home all day, helping my mother take care of my grandmother. I have plenty of time to pop out and drop in on your dog! I’m capable of letting your dog out, either in a fenced yard or on a leash. As well as feed and make sure their water bowl is full!
About: I'm a dog whisperer with a heart! I specialize in personalized playtime and cozy cuddles, making sure your pup feels loved and happy. Whether it's adventure walks or snuggle sessions, I cater to their unique needs! I’m currently unemployed by choice, but I run a few side businesses and have plenty of hobbies. I have my own baking business, along with a custom crafting business. I’m a huge reader and enjoy cooking and cleaning while my partner is working. I make sure to set aside time for walks, playtime, and training sessions. I also keep a flexible schedule to accommodate any special needs, like feeding times or medications. It’s all about keeping the pups happy and healthy while fitting it into my day! I make sure to stick to their routine, keep things safe and clean, and give them lots of love and attention! Plus, I send updates to the owners so they know their pets are happy. 🐾
“Amanda is kind and caring. I trust her to care for my precious pets. We’ve used her services twice and are quite pleased. I highly recommend her. Thank you Amanda/Rover.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I highly recommend Dina to care for your loving animals. She is responsive and easy to communicate with. She even sent pictures. It's not often that you find someone that makes you feel at ease knowing your animals are cared for and Dina did just that. Moving forward she is my preferred pet sitter!!!”
About: Hi! My husband and I are home full-time with our sweet dog, Susie—she loves having friends over. We’re in a duplex in Norwich with a private yard for safe play and potty breaks. Your pet will get attentive care, a comfy routine, and frequent photo updates so you can travel worry-free. We’re animal lovers who’ll send frequent updates and follow your instructions so your pet’s routine stays as normal as possible :) Any questions? Please reach out anytime! We’re home full-time; our schedule is flexible: walks, feedings, playtime, and meds fit easily. We can mirror your pet’s routine and send updates throughout the day :) At our home: We start with a slow, supervised intro with our dog, Susie, and can offer separate spaces if needed. Pets enjoy our private yard for supervised potty/play and neighborhood leash walks. Meals and meds follow your schedule; crates are welcome if that’s their routine. Expect calm naps, toys/enrichment, and frequent photo/text updates. In your home: We mirror your pet’s routine exactly—feeding, meds, walks, crates/litter—while prioritizing safety with harness/leash checks and weather-aware timing. We respect your home (lights/locks, tidy bowls/litter) and can bring in mail or water plants. You’ll get an update after every visit with pics and notes, and we happily tailor care for shy or special-needs pets.
About: I don’t have my own pet anymore as he passed from old age. I like to take care of other people’s pets when they are on vacation and care for them with as much love as if they were my own. I will stay at your home if needed , schedule potty break services as well. I work at a school so let out before I go to work and right after, evenings and bed time. I will take care of pets in clients home with care plan that fits the pets needs. Give them plenty of attention and care to take away any worries when you are away.
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals. If they have four legs, I pretty much enjoyed to be around. Zoos are my place to experience all breeds of life. I currently work from home. This has allowed me to have all the time needed to bond with pets. I also enjoy my 3 acres of space. I want to have it used by any pet who loves to roam outside. Just alot of space to entertain pets. My yard is not all fenced in. However its away from any sort of traffic. Very quite and alot of pet friendly homes. I can assure to put safety first at all cost.
About: Hi All!! I have personal and professional pet care experience! Not only have I had the pleasure of owning a variety of my own animals (dogs, cats and small animals such as chinchillas) I also have spent many hours volunteering at the humane society preforming all different types of animal care for whatever was assigned to me! I love learning and expanding my knowledge of animals regarding different behavior types based on breeds and I think working with Rover will provide me a fun experience and help me do that! My availability is semi-flexible depending on the location of your home, as I do work Mon-Friday at Backus Hospital. In my own personal free time, I enjoy staying active and traveling with my friends, but I also enjoy staying in with a glass of wine and a good book! I currently work full time at Backus Hospital, do depending on location of your home, I could provide a mid day potty break! Unfortunately, anything outside of the Norwich area, makes mid day check ins challenging. I have one chunky orange cat named Murphy! He roams the house freely but is mostly found on the back of the couch! I have a lot of experience with free roaming pets, crated dogs, and other small caged animals and have the space to house them!
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Taftville is $24

Charlene was wonderful! Today was her first time taking care of our Jack, including walks and feeding him dinner. She was punctual, followed the instructions we left, played with him, and provided us with updates every step of the way! Charlene- you are a natural. Thank you for easing our worries while we were away today and keeping our boy happy. <3
Tirzah was absolutely fantastic with Chorizo! From the initial meet and greet all the way through the scheduled drop-in, their communication was excellent — always prompt, clear, and reassuring. I could tell Chorizo was in great hands. I appreciated the update and photos, and it was obvious they genuinely cared about making sure he was comfortable and happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommended!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Taftville 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 Taftville 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 Taftville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
