“Lynsey was absolutely sensational!!!!!!! Her care of Pooh Bear (my cat) was outstanding, as was her care for my home. She followed directions to perfection and was incredibly polite and professional. I highly, highly recommend her!!!!!!!!!”
About: I provide, as well as top-notch care,a uniquely adaptive music therapy session for your pet so that even the most high-strung pets can feel relaxed and reassured by the sound of live classical piano music. A professional musician,I have also raised a litter of 10 puppies and have owned at least one dog at every point in my life.I am a consummate pet lover with 2 dogs currently. If your animal is a bit of a loner I can provide sequestered accommodations. I have a 16 year old who also loves animals; she as well has never lived without a dog. One of her passions is horseback riding and through this activity she has achieved a gentle but commanding demeanor around most animals. Between the two of us your pet will never lack a playmate! My work schedule allows for either me or my daughter to always be at home, so the pets have round the clock love and attention. I have a fenced in yard, and a house with plenty of space for pets to hang out. My 2 dogs are very friendly and are used to visiting dogs.
“I immediately felt confident about choosing Kimberly for my cat Mako after reading her profile and reviews. During her first visit, everything went smoothly, and I’m relieved knowing he’ll be well cared for while I'm away longer in July. Thank you 🐾”
About: I love being with animals and have experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, jumping sliders, and lizards. I enjoy learning each animal’s personality and making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I am a student who goes to college out of state but is home for the month of January and is also working part time. Since losing a dog of my own I figured this would be a great opportunity to help others with their pets and still have a great time with animals. I do have a fenced in yard if I take dogs into my home but in other peoples homes, listening to the guardian is most important to me on how they coexist with their pet and respecting that. At the end of the day I want to help people care for their pets.
“Laina was amazing. She came in the heat of a very hot day and took our dog out while we were gone for the evening. She was timely with responses and very friendly. Communication was a breeze. Will definitely use her again!”
“Angela did a great job taking care of my boys while I was on a fishing trip. I got plenty of pics and an update. She was timely and reliable which is extremely important to me. I will definitely use her services again. I highly recommend her.”
“Tara is so professional and reliable. Her warm personality comes shining through. This is the second time Tara looked after our very shy cat, Charlie. We came home to happy cat. Charlie's space was tidy and clean. My husband and I have every confidence in Tara. We cannot say enough positive comments about her. We will ask for Tara every time we go away.”
“Theresa was so wonderful with our 2 dogs. We had her do drop-in visits at our home while we were away. She fed them, let them outside, gave them treats, played with them and sat with them for a while. She left pictures and videos each time and she was so great, highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for people my whole life. From shitzu’s, to lab mixes. I also have two rescues of my own who I’ve worked very hard with to make comfortable and feel loved after there trauma. I am currently a full time teacher so I’m available mostly weekends. Come summer time, other than a part time job I’ll be available often. I have two high energy dogs who love to play. We do not have a fenced in yard, but it is large with woods all around. We also have a lead set up for dogs who are a flight risk.
About: Throughout my years in high school I was a caretaker of 3 dogs and 2 cats after school everyday of the week. I grew to care and love these pets like they were my own. I had so much fun taking them outside for their daily walks and playing catch around the yard, it was the best job I have ever had because it was loads of fun! Unfortunately, I had to retire my pet sitting job when I went to college back in 2012. Now I work from home and would love to start pet sitting again. I live in a house with a big backyard so it is the perfect place to play catch with them and I live in a residential area that loops around perfect to go for a nice walk too! I am available to start immediately and I am available every day of the week. Looking forward to hearing from you! I work from home so I am able to be home to watch, take them out and play with them most of the day. I work from 3-9pm but have several breaks in between. My yard is partially fenced in but I take safety very seriously when it comes to my own dog, so I will be just as safe with yours as well!
“Meaghan was incredible babysitting our, at times, difficult and needy cat Ashley. Despite a few growls and a hiss at first, Meaghan kept earning our cat’s trust with each visit which is a huge success when it comes to our kitty. Having Meaghan watch our cat while we were away helped our stress levels immensely and I will certainly be hiring her for our next trip.”
“Katie took such good care of my kitties! She stopped in prior to our scheduled pet sitting to meet my cats, which was much appreciated. She did everything I asked, and made an effort to give my kitties some playtime, even though they were being shy. She provided lots of pics and feedback after each visit, which I love to see, as I worry about my girls when I can’t be home with them. We will definitely be using her services again! ?”
“Courtney was great! She sent me pictures every visit, checked in and out when she dropped in, took care of my plants, and when she dropped off my key, my cats ran to greet her, obviously having enjoyed the play time with her. I will definitely book Courtney again.”
About: My entire life I’ve taken care of dogs from tiny Shih Tzu’s to large and in charge Cane Corso’s and everything in between! (I’ve helped with litters too!) I’ve also taken care of Bearded Dragons, Ferrets, Rats, Fish, Persian cats, etc. so I’m most definitely comfortable with the large variety of animals! I’m also a certified dog groomer!

I live on a pretty quiet road therefore traffic shouldn’t be a concern with your pups safety. I also have a large yard therefore there’s plenty of room to run around & get some energy out!

This is the third time that Tara took care of our treasured cat, Charlie. It is not easy to leave your pet for weeks; but when Tara is on the case, we can rest easy. Tara is dependable and a true animal lover. We adore her spirit and positivity. Charlie usually makes a mess, but we always come home to a tidy home. We plan to book Tara again and again. Thanks, Tara.
Marissa was absolutely great! We have two cats with big personalities and she was patient in getting to know each of them. She was quick to respond, polite, and left very detailed feedback! We loved all the pictures she shared too! Marissa went above and beyond to make sure our babies were well taken care of and comfortable while we were away. We are looking forward to working with her in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Torrington on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,142 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Torrington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Torrington 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.
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 Torrington. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
