“Sarah is the best! She is always on time, cares about my pup and sends pictures! You can tell my dog likes her just by how comfortable she looks in her pics. We appreciate her so much !”
“Erin instantly made us feel comfortable leaving our 3 kitties for a week. She offered to come meet us and the cats before booking, and we loved her. One of our cats takes time to build trust and sometimes won’t eat for a bit while we’re away. Erin took the time to build a relationship with her and tried a few different things to help her feel comfortable eating for someone new. Erin spent time with all three cats, played with them, and helped them feel comfortable trusting her. We got pictures after every visit, and excellent communication about how they were doing. Our selective eater was coming out of hiding and eating her food consistently much quicker than she has for others who have come to feed them while we were away. Erin went above and beyond for our babies and made us feel so much better about being away from them. We have already rebooked with her for another trip. Thank you for much for everything, Erin!!!”
“I highly recommend Rebecca! Everything went very smoothly and she made my family’s time away stress free. She took care of my two dogs and it was clear they were in good hands! She sent several pictures with her updates which was awesome!”
“Hailey does a fantastic job with our dogs! She is punctual, professional, and follows all of our instructions to a T. With our special needs dog it’s difficult to find someone who he connects with. She also sends photos and video updates. She is a natural with both our boys and we will continue to use her as our permanent sitter!”
About: I started taking care of pets when we got a family dog when I was a kid. Since then, I help my mom with her pet-sitting business and have sat for her 3 dogs for a week+ at a time. I genuinely love taking care of dogs of all ages. I work a full-time job 7-3 M-F, and have afternoon pilot classes about twice a week, always scheduled in advance. Occasionally I go out of town for a weekend, again, scheduled well in advance. I would treat a client's pet as if they were my own, which is to say with lots of love, care, patience, respect, and kindness. And a lot of head pats (if and when applicable).

“Such a nice couple! They were so sweet to our Sammy and even set up a new litter box for us! They also cleaned up and vacuum. They sent us lots of pics which was amazing because we were worried about our boy! Thanks!”
“Alex is great! She was very responsive and happy to accommodate my changing schedule and my feisty little puppy! Would highly recommend her for anyone needing care for their fur babies!”

“Crystal was absolutely amazing!!!! She was attentive to detail, reliable, kind & professional! She truly went above and beyond! Plus her photos and updates were top tier! Lol I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting/dog walking needs!”
About: Hi! I’m a pet sitter with 3 years of experience as an emergency vet tech and a lifelong animal lover. I’ve worked in fast-paced ER environments, so I’m calm, confident, and trained in handling pets of all personalities and medical needs. Also, I have a cat of my own who inspires me to give every pet the same love and attention I give at home. With 1 year of pet sitting experience, I provide reliable, compassionate, and knowledgeable care you can trust. I currently work part time so I am very flexible. I am driven to keep your pets comfy and happy. I will work with you on your schedule. I have a backyard and a safe friendly neighborhood to take your animals on walks. I do own a cat, but if needed, I will keep her in my bedroom.
“We absolutely adore Julie. She took her time and not only had no problem with our cat's semi complicated meal routine, but she sat with our very needy cat and gave her undivided attention while we were away. We will absolutely be contacting Julie anytime we are going to be away and need our pets to be taken care of.”
“Carly is a very professional and caring person. Her love for animals and the care she gives them really shows. The attention she has given Daisy and the updates she gives me daily shows how committed she is to giving the best service possible. I would recommend her to anyone if they need a hard working professional to look after their animal companion.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life. They're such a big part of me and I absolutely love meeting them. I'll follow any specifacation you may have for your dog. I love taking walks and playing with them. I will also feed additional pets that you may have or clean yards if needed. I am currently in college in the afternoon for an few hours on monday through thursday. I can stay at the owner's house if needed. However, I can also do visits to feed and let out if that is more comfortable for the owner. I often like to go on walk with dogs I am taking care of, they are always on the leash on these walks. I also enjoy going out in the yard to play with them. I am not opposed to crates.
“This was our first time with Jen and it definitely wont be our last. She was thorough and wonderful with our two cats while we were gone for several days.”
About: I rescued my own dog from a shelter, and she required a lot of special training and patience. I worked with her on socialization, leash walking, and reducing pulling and barking around other dogs, and I have successfully helped her improve in all of these areas. Since she was a puppy when I adopted her, I also have experience with the patience, consistency, and care that younger dogs require. In addition, I care for a senior dog, so I am experienced in recognizing when a dog has reached their physical limit during walks and understanding how to adjust care based on their needs. Having experience with both younger and older dogs, as well as both large and small breeds, has taught me how to handle dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and training levels with confidence and care. I am currently in school but there are only three days a week I am completely booked with classes. My Mondays and Fridays and weekends are completely open and would love to spend my free time around more dogs! I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets while they are in my care. Since I live in an apartment, I make sure the space is pet-friendly, secure, and free of anything that could be harmful to animals. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, exercise, and any special instructions from the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety during walks, monitor pets closely around other animals, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, and affection. I also provide updates and communication so owners feel reassured while their pets are in my care.
About: I currently volunteer at an animal shelter and love working with dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and demeanors! I also have some basic training experience through my dog trainer, who also specializes in service work and behavioral training. My personal dog, Toffee (basset hound!), lived to be 16, and my favorite time with her was the patient walks and TLC needed as she got older--happy to support your senior animals too:) A couple other tidbits: I have experience working with farm animals (chickens, ducks, goats, and alpacas!) and majored in Environmental Science in college. Looking forward to meeting your furry ones! I balance my full-time job (8:30-4) with pet care through Rover and at the animal shelter. I am happy to work with you to find good times (evenings and weekends included, depending on when). I prefer to meet or provide care at your home, but I also live in a very walkable neighborhood and have a dog park nearby. My house has a fenced-in yard and a sprinkler for the hotter days. While I do not currently have a crate in my personal vehicle, I am happy to get one if you are more comfortable. I also have close friends with dogs and cats if play dates are helpful too!
“Tatum was soooo great with my quirky dog! She totally went above and beyond to make sure my nervous nelly was comfortable enough to eat and do her business. She also kept me updated on everything that was going on with my pup and my kitty. I’ll definitely work with Tatum again!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Wallingford is $25

This was the second time that Erin watched our furbabies for us and we are still so thankful that we found her. She took the time to build trust with all three of our cats, and they warmed up to her so quick. We love the pictures that she sends, and appreciated the open communication throughout our trip. We felt completely comfortable being away from them, fully knowing and trusting that they were in good hands. Erin, thank you for everything. We will definitely be reaching out again the next time we need someone to watch the kitties!
I had a great experience with Crystal and would definitely book her again! My dog absolutely loved her, and she was attentive, communicative, and followed all of my instructions. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even stayed longer than I had booked to make sure my dog was comfortable, which I truly appreciated. On top of that, she left me a thoughtful card and even washed my dishes before she left. She really went above and beyond, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🐾💕

Camryn did an amazing job watching my dog, Kardi, over the weekend. She was very thorough, paid close attention to detail, and made sure everything was taken care of exactly how I asked. I was actually able to enjoy my vacation without worrying, which says a lot because I’m usually very anxious leaving my dog. Kardi clearly loved her, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I’m definitely looking forward to booking with her again and would highly recommend her.
Kristen was simply the BEST!!! Communicative, accommodating, caring, kind and just all around FABULOUS. She was so helpful for this nervous “Mom” with her puppy. This was my first time leaving her alone in unfamiliar surroundings. She send updates, complete with photos. So fantastic!!!!!!
Tracy is great! She has dropped in on our two cats multiple times and is great at following instructions, checking for changes in their routines, and providing great pictures and updates to keep us connected while we're gone. She clearly likes spending time with the animals and cares about making them comfortable and happy.
Emese has been a terrific friend to our older, shy and deaf cat. He tends to be very cautious around people and generally hides, but he clearly feels safe around Emese. We have appreciated the photos she has sent of our senior cat lounging in his favorite spot and posing for her. Thank you, Emese!

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 August 2026, there are 2,969 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wallingford. 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 Wallingford 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 Wallingford. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
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.
