“Naomi has been so supportive related to our needs for a kitty caregiver. She visited with our two Siamese cats who can be a bit anti-social and picky eaters.

“We found Nicole a few weeks ago, after bringing our rescue dog home. She has visited with him 1-2x/week and her visits have made all the difference! She is so kind and gentle with him. He has some quirks due to being an adult rescue dog. She sends very thorough updates and takes extra time with him. Since her visits started, we've noticed an improvement in his behavior and it helps break up the day while we're gone for work. We would absolutely recommend Nicole!”
“Repeat customer with Bre and she continues to be awesome! My plans changed a lot and she continued to work with me on the day of to fit our schedule. Highly recommend her!”
“Juliana was amazing! She was available last minute which was a huge relief. She took care of Scottie as if she were her own and was so sweet with her. 10/10 will be reaching out to her for future needs!”
About: Hi, I'm George (nickname Trey), I have fostered dozens of dogs, mostly puppies, and have two rescue pups who live with me. My lab mix is everyone's best friend, while my shepherd mix is often reactive, so I manage the greetings with her separately. After she settles down she loves to play with her new friends. I have a big yard and some woods with trails that the dogs love to walk and sniff. If you need a dog sitter in the Wallingford area please reach out, I would be happy to host your dog and give them a safe, fun place to stay! On work days I still have the option to be at home sometimes, the flexibility is nice when I need to care for dogs. I walk my dogs all the time and we enjoy meeting new walking buddies. Our lengthy walks and playtime are essential to our daily life. My home is a cozy little house with a 4 acre yard, I spend lots of time outside so if your pup likes to be outside they will love it here. Let me know what your pup needs, I am very flexible.
About: I’ve owned dogs for the past 10 years. I helped raise my family’s dog and then got a puppy of my own at the end of 2023! I’m a very active person and absolutely love walking and running. Whether you've got an energetic dog that needs a lot of exercise or a relaxed dog (or cat!) that enjoys a chill stroll, I'm ready for it! My schedule during the day is very open right now, looking to fill it with lots of walks and games of fetch! My weekends and evenings tend to be a bit busier, but I can accommodate special requests if you let me know in advance! I’m happy to provide what ever care your dog needs in your home. Whether that is walks or simple play and pet time, I’m happy to be there.

Nicole is amazing! I was gone for 3 weeks and needed someone reliable to check in on my cat. She was so responsive and brought in any packages we got. We got updates and pictures of our baby daily. I definitely will be asking Nicole to watch our kitty in the future.
I booked with Kai and Devon for my two cats while I was away for the week. Not only were they responsive, they took the time to come and meet us and the cats prior to booking. They are caring, professional and went above and beyond. I had peace of mind knowing they would take care of my pets while I was away so I didn't have to worry. When I came home everything was in it's place. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for experienced pet sitter.
I can’t say enough great things about Sara! She is so very considerate and plays so well with my cat, she totally tires him out when she’s here! :) Very thoughtful too!!! I highly recommend her! She goes above and beyond by being so helpful! She is truly the best!

Carol did a wonderful job caring for our cats. She was prompt, thorough, and very responsive throughout our time away. We especially appreciated how well she kept us updated with photos and regular check-ins. We felt confident knowing our cats were in great hands and would definitely recommend her!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

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 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.
