About: I’ve spent the last 9 months caring for pets and homes while traveling around the country, completing extended house and pet sits through other platforms. I am now settling locally in Connecticut and looking to build a regular base of nearby pet-care clients. My experience includes dogs and cats, multiple-pet households, medication, homemade food, detailed feeding instructions, and pets with specific daily or nighttime routines. I’m comfortable following detailed care plans and keeping pets on the schedule they know. I do work during the day, so I’m best suited for pets who are comfortable being home during normal working hours. I’m available in the evenings and on weekends and can provide dependable overnight care, companionship, walks, feeding, and plenty of attention when I’m home.

“I truly cannot recommend her enough! She went above and beyond every single day and cared for Benji like he was her own. She even stepped in during an unexpected situation at home and made sure not only Benji, but my daughter and our cat were safe and taken care of. Her kindness, reliability, and genuine love for animals and people are unmatched. I feel incredibly lucky to have found someone I trust so much with my home and my family.

About: What sets me apart is my practical, real-world experience handling a wide variety of animal needs and environments. Working behind the scenes in a veterinary clinic taught me how to keep pet spaces clean and safe, while my time on a goat farm gave me the hands-on confidence to administer injections.

On Fridays and Saturdays, I am available strictly for daytime walks and drop-in visits, as I stay out of town those nights. I provide pet care exclusively inside the client's home, keeping your pets safe and comfortable in their own familiar environment. When house sitting or dropping in, my priority is maintaining their exact daily routine. Thanks to my clinic helper and farm background, I am completely confident following complex instructions, keeping spaces clean, and administering oral medications or injections. You will receive regular updates, and you can rest assured your home and pets are cared for with a professional eye.
“Pros: Professional , flexible & timely My dog seemed to really enjoy cuddling with him. No cons: I’ll ask more next time for feedback how she was, what activities they did (play or walk?) etc.”
“Gina was very kind and watched our 2 mini aussies and house sat while we were on vacation. She left the house clean and exactly how we left it. Was a very respectful house guest. We will definitely book her again.”

An added bonus- When I got home, the house was spotless and looked like I never left! Your fur babies will be in amazing hands with Elissa!”

Connor is truly an amazing dog sitter and we could not be happier with the care he provided. He was incredibly attentive, thoughtful and committed to maintaining our dog’s routine which gave us a tremendous peace of mind while we were away. What really set Connor so awry was his outstanding communication. He kept us updated throughout our trip, sent photos and made sure we knew how our dog was doing. It was a comfort to see our dog happy, relaxed and well cared for each day.
Alex has been an amazing addition to our dog and bearded dragons lives. Between her willingness to come do check in visits with Duke to keep him use to her since he developed stranger danger in his old age (he is 14 years old) to her house sitting both of them when we go out of town. She is always communicating with us while we are gone to let us know of things that she finds in the yard of our house while walking Duke or when Duke decided to slide down the stairs this last trip and the bearded dragon laid some infertile eggs. She has taken amazing care of our pets. Duke even gets sad when she leaves. He truly loves his time with her. We couldn't have been more blessed to have found her.
Catherine was an amazing cat sitter and I would absolutely rebook with her again. She followed all of my care instructions very carefully and was extremely attentive to my cats’ needs while I was away. One thing that really stood out to me was how quickly she noticed an issue with my cat Bruce, who has chronic constipation. I had explained the warning signs to look out for before I left, and the very first night I was gone she noticed he was trying to use the litter box but couldn’t. She contacted me immediately, made herself available for a phone call, and followed all of the care steps I walked her through. Thankfully, Bruce improved a lot after that, and I was so grateful she caught it so early. She also sent constant updates and photos throughout the trip, so I was never left wondering how my babies were doing. Catherine house sat for two nights as well, and when I came home my apartment was exactly as I left it. I felt like my cats and home were genuinely cared for while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter.
Jillian is absolutely amazing with our dog and cat, and they can be a mischievous pair. She stayed at our place with these two for the longest we’d been away so we were nervous. But Jillian made it so that we never worried while away. Lots of updates, photos, walks, and left our place well taken care of too! Couldn’t recommend her more!!
I don’t doubt that Thomas doesn’t absolutely bring a smile to Quilly’s face & that he dotes on her. My only feedback is that I would encourage more sitter initiated communication (using the Rover chat function or close to real time check in & out functions on the app, there’s a function where it lets me know she’s used the bathroom or got fed in the app report. I definitely panicked today because I wasn’t sure if Thomas had arrived and saw Quilly yet. He had been at my home for a bit but I wasn’t sure. I don’t have camera inside. )

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 Unionville 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 Unionville 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Unionville 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.
