About: Hi there! I’m a nursing student with a lifelong love for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up surrounded by animals taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand each pet’s unique needs. I’ve also gained personal experience caring for pets with serious medical conditions. One of my dogs has CHF, and another is currently living with liver failure, so I’m very comfortable managing medications, monitoring symptoms, and staying calm and attentive during more complex care routines. This background has made me even more compassionate, detail-oriented, and confident when supporting pets with special needs. I’m an excellent problem-solver, calm under pressure, and attentive to detail skills I’ve strengthened through my nursing studies and bring into every pet care situation. Whether your pet needs walks, snuggles, medication, or just a dependable friend while you’re away, I’m here to help. I truly love all animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first! I am currently working part time. I am available after 3pm and off on the weekends. Feel free to message me and we can figure something out! 😊 I have a high fenced yard and 2 cats. Very clean home, nothing for them to get into. And I am very vigilant and will see if anything happens.
About: My daughters Myracle and Sally and I are both big animal lovers. I have a bit of experience in pet care and so does my daughters which in case you are wondering my daughter Myracle is 23 yrs old and Sally is 22yrs old. This is a mother and daughters business so it will either be myself or my daughters but know that your animal /furbaby will be in great hands. We understand for fur babies and any babies are part of the family. We will treat them just as our spoiled babies that we have at our home. We will show them love and care just as they would from anyone in the home and also care for them as they are part of your family for animals are special. We will do our very best. I work full time but my daughters are not currently working at this time so they will be the ones that will spend the most time with your pets and being the one to take care of them. We do not have a fenced in yard and barely have a yard so they will be taking your babies for walks to go potty.
“Sara, I took excellent care of my dog and my house. She was very communicative during the stay and sent lots of pictures. She is very conscientious and very caring towards animals.”
About: Hello! I have two kitties and a dog of my own! I have worked at shelters and vet clinics since I was a freshman in high school! I have just recently graduated from my undergraduate in animal and veterinary studies at University of Idaho! I take care of my own babies plus I work at the animal clinic and hospital taking care of other animals! I’ve always got more time for more little fur babies. If I am sitting for pets in your own home I would walk, feed and play with them. Plus any other extras you might need! Like cleaning up after them or house sitting.
About: i’ve had animals in my life since I was three years old and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, ducks, chickens, indoor birds, like cockatiels, reptiles, amphibians, fish, small animals, including mice, and insects! Ducks are my all-time favorite animal. 🦆😊 I have experience Pet Sitting everything from a Boston terrier to a St. Bernard! I’m not afraid of a challenge and love critters of all kind! Pet/House Sitting is my main job, so I am super available for more intense jobs like taking care of puppies or kittens! I love spending time with animals, which is why I make this work my main source of income. I have a friendly older boxer myself and live in a trailer home. I am okay with pets being on furniture, and I can easily crate your pet if needed between spending time with them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Torrington on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 16 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Torrington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
