“For anyone looking for a sitter go ahead and just hire Jacqueline now! Jacqueline dropped everything to come and meet my cat and then take over watching her for 10 days when our previous sitter cancelled at the very last minute. She truly loves animals and was so happy to take care of my cat! She provided amazing detailed daily feedback on my kitty, was immediately responsive to any messages I sent her, and really just made me feel that my cat was in great hands when I was away. I can’t recommend her more! Absolutely hire her now!”

About: We've had dogs and cats in our family for years and miss hearing the patter of paws! We treat our pets well and enjoy playtimes and grooming dogs. Either my son or I are home to be with your pet. I work part time and my son is here when I work. He is working on his master's in business and loves to walk and play with the dogs. We do not have any pets of our own at present. This is a pet friendly home and yard on a quiet cul de sac. We dog sit other family members pets at time. Dogs are welcome in most rooms of the house.

“Stephen and Donna did an excellent job walking our Great Pyrenees mix several times over a few weeks. You could feel their love for dogs from the moment we met them and they were very communicative and kind throughout the whole process. Our boy enjoyed and looked forward to his walks with them and we would definitely recommend and use their services in the future.”

About: I have a half Australian shepherd half poodle named Luna! She’s been with me for 13 years since she was a puppy. I’ve grown up around dogs and cats since a young age and have lots of love towards them. They’re awesome and I’d love to help care for yours! I’m currently working a full time position that is predominately remote, with me having to go into the downtown office once a week. My schedule varies week by week. I am responsible and can hopefully get any special requests executed. I follow directions super well and am trustworthy. It’s scary having a stranger take care of your pet, I get it. They will be in special hands!

About: I have been around dogs since I was 6 years old and love them! I have experience with miniature Schnauzers to Labrador/ German Shepard. I owned two wheaten Terriers over 20 years. I currently do not have any dogs even though my profile states I have 2. Those are my grand dogs! My nickname is Gogo and friends, family and neighbors all trust me with their dear pet. I am reliable, honest and go the extra mile to assure a dog is living their best life! I will be working until 2:45pm and will be available during the week after that. I am generally available on the weekends all day and available for overnight care. I am an avid exerciser and love to walk dogs, play with them and give them the time and attention they need. The dog is welcome to be in the home free to choose where they are comfortable, or if you prefer them in their own crate at all please provide that. My neighborhood is safe and has wonderful paths very close by the dogs love to walk on and sniff away!

About: I just graduated from UMass Amherst with a degree in Pre-Veterinary Science. I have grown up with pets and taken care of them for years! I’ve had dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish! I have a lot of experience taking care of animals as I’ve interned at a zoo and volunteered at shelters and vet clinics. I’m very comfortable giving medications to pets as I’ve had a lot of practice with this with my own pets and while sitting! PLEASE READ** I am currently traveling in Europe and will not be home until October 10th. I am available after that for meet and greets or I can do virtual meet and greets as well! I am looking to move states in the coming months so I will not be available for long term sitting. My house has one kitten, and my backyard is not fenced in. I’d love to take care of your pet in either your home or mine, whichever is easiest!

About: I've always loved caring for dogs and enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, from tiny breeds and small dogs to large breeds, including pit bulls, as well as energetic puppies. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I'm happy to provide the care they need. I've provided overnight house sitting for families, cared for pets in their own homes to help keep their routines consistent, and offered drop-in visits and dog walking. I'm comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I understand that every dog has unique needs and deserves patient, individualized care. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I'll always treat your home with respect and your dog like they're part of my own family. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages while you're away, giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention I am a full-time kindergarten teacher, and caring for others is a big part of who I am. My job has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of creating a safe and loving environment — qualities I bring into caring for pets as well. Outside of school, I have time for early morning walks, check-ins, evening visits, and overnight stays. I truly enjoy spending my free time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to follow each pet’s routine and give them the attention, exercise, and love they need. I treat every pet like they are my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I make sure to follow their normal routines, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from puppies and small dogs to larger breeds, including pit bulls. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: Hi! I’ve been a lifelong animal lover, and I’ve had pets all my life — so I know how much pets mean to their families. My girlfriend introduced me to Rover, and since then, I’ve been all in. I currently walk up to 10 dogs a day and board around 2 dogs each month, and I truly enjoy every minute of it. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs long walks or a shy cat who just wants a quiet companion, I treat every pet like my own. I know how important trust is when it comes to pet care, and I always go the extra mile to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I’d love the chance to meet your pet and give them the care and attention they deserve! Pet care is a major part of my daily routine. I work in real estate, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of control over my time. This flexibility allows me to dedicate consistent blocks of time each day to walking dogs, doing drop-in visits, and boarding pets comfortably in my home. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and trust always come first. In my home, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I make sure there are no hazards within reach, keep any unfamiliar pets separated as needed, and provide plenty of space for relaxation, play, and personal time. I follow any routines or rules you provide so your pet feels comfortable and secure—just like they would at home. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I follow all instructions closely, keep your pet’s schedule consistent, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. I’m always attentive to their behavior, energy levels, and comfort to make sure they’re safe and happy throughout the visit. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, or quiet companionship, I’m committed to providing a trustworthy, low-stress experience for both you and your pet.

Beyond grateful that I connected with Lauren and Lauren, and they could help with our cat while our entire family traveled together. Communication is always quick, clear, and helpful. They flagged every visit, and kept me updated with all the details from each house visit for our cat. Will absolutely keep them at the top of the list for any future needs!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Techny

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Techny is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $44 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 12,551 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Techny. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
