“Julia & Noah were nothing short of excellent. They communicated a lot and set photos of our furry friends throughout. This was our first time using pet sitters, and they made the experience seamless and put our minds at ease. We will definitely be asking them for help in the future and recommend them to anyone looking for pet sitting.”
“I highly recommend Marisa. She took great care of our dog in our home. She sent daily updates and photos while we were away. We returned home to a happy dog and a clean house. Marisa is responsible, reliable, kind and it is evident that she loves animals.”
“Jesse is THE BEST. After requesting the booking, he came out to meet us and our two boys, taking his own personal time to make sure it was a good fit. During his stay, he kept us informed with pictures and notes on the pups. He left our house just as he found it and, most important, we came home to 2 happy, sleepy dogs, tired after a vacation of their own! Jesse is reliable and incredibly knowledgeable and hardworking. Can’t wait to have him back!”
About: I grew up with as many as 5 cats and two dogs at a time. I am familiar with caring for most pets including rodents and fish. I work from home so taking a break to walk or feed pets is not an issue. There is even some extra time to give them some attention too! My dog has free roaming permission in the backyard and we also have a cage for large dogs available. For visiting dogs we walk them on a leash since they are not familiar with the area.
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience and genuine love for dogs of all ages. I worked at a dog kennel for two years, where I cared for dogs with all kinds of temperaments, ages, and needs. I’m experienced with senior dog care and I’m comfortable with puppies too—whether it’s crate training, potty breaks, or just keeping up with their energy! Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine since I have a pretty open and flexible schedule. I’m most available Tuesday through Friday between 11:30 AM and 4:30 PM, which works great for midday walks or drop ins. That said, I’m always happy to discuss and make arrangements that work best for you and your pet! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality to make sure they feel secure and loved. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and follow any instructions you provide whether that’s feeding schedules or favorite toys. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you're away.
About: What sets me apart is the amount of genuine care and attention I give every pet. I’ve always had animals growing up, so caring for them comes very naturally to me, and I truly love being around them. I understand that every pet has a different personality, comfort level, and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, whether that means keeping up with an energetic puppy, giving extra comfort and gentleness to senior pets, or simply making sure pets get plenty of affection and companionship. I also keep owners updated regularly with messages and photos so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are being well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and consistency throughout the day. I make time for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and one-on-one attention, while also making sure pets have a calm and comfortable environment to relax in. I’m organized, flexible with routines, and able to adjust care based on each pet’s individual needs and energy level. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I make sure they have a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and a consistent routine. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and comfort level, whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel comfortable while they’re away. In clients’ homes, I respect both the pet’s routine and the home itself. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special preferences or behaviors. I try to keep pets as comfortable and stress-free as possible by maintaining their normal routine and giving them lots of care and companionship.
“We came back to happy, calm dogs and a well organized house. Really appreciated the daily updates and pictures and Coors and Ryder look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for allowing us to go away without worrying.”
“Midori is amazing! She really cares for animals in a sincere way. We were traveling for a week and she gave us daily updates with pictures, and even brought extra special treats from home. We came home and the animals were all well adjusted and happy, even our cat who is very anxious. I will most definitely be using Midori again!”
“She was great with Rolly and caring for our home when we were away. I'd highly recommend her to anyone that is looking to get away for a few days but may be afraid to leave their loved pets behind. Highly recommend Anastasia!!”
“Carol was absolutely wonderful with our senior German Shepherd! She sent lots of photos and communications. She left the house in pristine condition and also put our trash out on the curb for us! Highly recommend her as a sitter 😊”
About: I’ve been taking care of the family pets for as long as I can remember! Now I’m the dedicated friend and family pet sitter. I am currently in between jobs at the moment so I would love to dedicate as much time as possible taking care of your precious pets In clients home I offer endless love and patience I love going on walks and cuddling with pets if they allow haha. I have experience administering medication as well.
About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, birds, chickens, fish, and horses since I was little. Anything from feeding to exercise to medical needs I can handle. As I am taking online classes for college as well as commuting from home, my schedule is super open and I’m ready to care for your animals! I have a large fenced in yard with a park right next door for easily accessible walks and exercise. I also have two dogs who are very friendly and love to be around others. I can easily separate if necessary
About: I have owned a cat for seven years, and I enjoy brushing him, feeding him, giving him treats, cleaning the litter box, and cuddling. Sometimes he comes into my room, jumps on my bed, and sleeps with me. I also walk a puppy, a bulldog, named Buckiss. I clean up after him, and enjoy spending time rubbing his belly, and playing catch. At the end of our walk, I bring him back to his house, feed him, and give him water. I follow strict feeding instructions on how much food to give, and what kind of food he's allowed to have (no more than 2 treats a day). When walking in the winter, I make sure Buckiss has dog booties so his feet don't get hurt. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time in my schedule to care for your pet! I have a pretty flexible schedule. When I come to take care of a pet in my client’s home, I make sure that they are cared for with love and I do everything I can to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable with me. I also make sure that when I end the stay, the client’s home is in the same or better condition than when I first came. I will make sure to clean after myself and leave the place looking as spotless as I can. I try to be a considerate and clean house guest.
“Jennifer was super great with our pups! She was responsive and communicative and sent photos of the dogs having fun :) We really appreciate her spending time to make sure they got a lot of exercise and socialization while we were away.”
About: I have had my wonderful dog for a little over three years. I will do anything for her and the same goes for your pets. I love all animals and enjoy caring for them. Outside of my day to day job, I volunteer at my local fire department. My experience and training will ensure your pet(s) will stay safe, happy and healthy. I have lived in the New Milford area for about 4 years now. I am available for extended overnight stays and walking/feeding around mid day. I ensure all necessary needs are met. I make sure they are fed on time and have plenty of time to play and get belly rubs.
“Kelsey was wonderful with Shelby. Instead of being anxious, Shelby seemed to be calm and relaxed the whole time. Kelsey sent pics and vids during the visit, and everything went smoothly. In talking to her, I could tell Kelsey has a lot of experience with dogs, and knows how to keep them happy.”
About: I have over 4 years of experience pet sitting for dogs, cats, and small animals. I currently house sit regularly for a family in South Kent, which has helped me build strong routines and trust with both pets and owners. I currently work in the Washington/Kent area pet sitting monthly for a family in Kent and babysitting in Washington. I am looking for additional work whether that be walking/feeding or overnight stays. I’m very respectful of my clients’ homes and keep everything clean and organized, just as it was left. I also prioritize safety by making sure pets are secure and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health.

Julia & Noah were nothing short of excellent. They communicated a lot and set photos of our furry friends throughout. This was our first time using pet sitters, and they made the experience seamless and put our minds at ease. We will definitely be asking them for help in the future and recommend them to anyone looking for pet sitting.
Katie was great with our animals and our home was well taken care of. She has helped us with multiple vacations and she is extremely respectful of our space and we trust her completely. Our animals adore her and she takes great care of them and stays in communication with us. She is a total gem and we are lucky to have her to help us when needed!
We booked Angela to house sit with our dog and cat for a week while we were away on vacation and she was fantastic. We traded several texts during our week away. She sent us some pics of our animals and she has always been extremely responsive. Very happy to have found her. Great peace of mind when leaving our 2 boys with her.
Jesse did a great job looking after our three dogs for 10 days. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip and our dogs still had their normal routine without a hitch. He was great with updates and pictures . I highly recommend Jesse and will definitely book him the next time we need a house sitter.

The average cost of House Sitting in Torrington is $78 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $133 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Torrington walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Torrington maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Torrington 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Torrington. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
