“Anne was just what my cats needed. When she first came over to meet them, I expected them to hide as they usually do with someone new. Instead, they came to visit with her and they let her pet them. Every day we were away we received pictures, which means they came down to see her each time. Anne has just become our favorite person to care for them when we go away!”
“Meghan is amazing and all over her time stamps are so detailed, they make me laugh as she describes our pups personalities so well! Thank you as always Meghan, we appreciate you more than you know!”
“Julianna was wonderful! She was communicative, quick to respond, and right on time for Georgia’s drop-in visits. She took great care of our pup and sent us the sweetest pictures and updates while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing Georgia was in good hands and can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Amy was dependable and knowledgeable about animals. She made sure our pet had every she needed. Amy made our pet feel comfortable and communicated with us each time she came to visit. Amy was also very thorough with communicating with us. I would definitely recommend Amy and use her again!”
“As always Tammy is awesome. The pictures the notes are always thorough. I always pull out the food for her and this time I just missed one... she contacted me well before the next visit and made sure my boys were happy and well fed. They love her!!!”
About: From puppies to older dogs, I've done it all: taking puppies out every 2 hours at night, specific medications at certain times throughout the day, to planned walks/runs. I have experience with puppy training fostering and now I'm training my own kitten. I'm a senior college student who has a lot of time to spare- especially on weekdays! I'm always available to take dogs on walks, jogs, or just for a quick little stop in. Treating fur-babies like my own has always been an easy feat for me. When it comes to home saftey, whether it be my own or a clients, simple communication goes a long way. House rules, schedules and specifications are always a big thumbs up from me!
“i have 100% confidence and trust in chelsea and john. they're the best! they really go above and beyond to ensure that our cat is well taken care of while we're away. the level of communication they provide is exceptional. basically, we couldn't ask for more. we're already repeat customers of chelsea/john and will continue to be. thank you so much!!”
“Rachel is wonderful!! She relieved so much anxiety I had after getting my pup and leaving him all day while at work! She stopped over and let him out and gave him lovies & snuggles each visit! My boy LOVES her!! She moved at his pace and never tried to force anything! Communication was also excellent, and she let me know of any minor changes asap! I highly recommend Rachel!!”
“Kristen took care of Rusty like I would take care of him. I am at peace knowing he is in good hands while we were away. She gave me so many photos to update me. Thanks, Kristen. I will definitely request her again in the ver near future.”
“Caroline went above and beyond for us when our vacation turned tragic with the sudden illness and passing of my grandmother-in-law that required multiple changes of plans to accommodate the changing situation. She was extremely flexible when our vet informed us that she recommends daily visits rather than every two days after a behavioural checkup right before our trip. Then, there was Grandma’s situation, where Caroline quickly accommodated adding one more day, and then, as the situation progressed, went to great lengths to ensure we were covered no matter what for an additional 3 days. Not only that, but she gave Lucy plenty of love and ensured she was well taken-care-of. To top it all off, she also took the cutest photos and brought in our packages. House was super clean when we got back. We’ll definitely be using her again”
About: I have been looking into doing petsitting for some time now and I know that from prior experience with pets and volunteer work, I am able to provide your pets’ needs in any way possible. I’m currently doing a art class until the 20th and is volunteering at the cat cafe from time to time so my availability may vary. I would clean up litters from my cats’ litter boxes and give food to them. I have been a volunteer at a cat cafe that a friend of mine was a part of for a while now. We would clean the cats’ litter boxes, food bowls, make sure that the cats are fed, and straighten up the cafe along with organizing the cats’ toys so it’s easy for the cats to navigate.
About: I love all animals, but dogs are my favorite. Nothing in the world makes me happier than spending time with a pet. If the owner can't be around once in a while there is no need for the dog to be lonely. That is why I make the perfect dog sitter, I treat each dog like my very own pet. I care for them and their individual needs the way I would hope someone would care for my dog if I weren't around. My profession includes making my own schedule which allows me the flexibility to care for pets in their owners absence. I try to keep my radius small so that I can stop by every couple of hours for a potty break and some time outside or for some snuggles. I have a dog and cat of my own and take their care very seriously. Both get an abundance of love and snuggles. Our dog goes out multiple times a day- while we don't have a fenced in yard we do have a lot of space and availability for walks at the park a block away.
“OLIVIA was awesome watching my kitty while I was away! She followed all the instructions I asked for which was important to me not only because Buttons is disabled/special needs, but the little guy is also a bit *needy lol. You can tell shes def an animal lover and from the many pics she sent me, Buttons absolutely loved her. I had such peace of mind knowing he was well cared for and I dont think my furbaby noticed I was actually out of town, well not too much, lol.”
About: Hi! My name is Dante and I absolutely love dogs. I do not treat this as a job but as a privilege to take care of pets. I have always had a pet in my household, so I am very comfortable with dogs. I am young and promise I will have just as much energy as your dog does. I am very good at butt scratches and belly rubs. I will be prepared for any situation and I am very easy to contact. I understand plans get altered and I am flexible with changing schedules. I will treat your dog as I treat mine and make sure everything is done to the best of my ability. I hope you allow me to make your dog’s day the absolute best I can. Thank you
About: Hi! I’m Simone. I’m a dog mama and I am available for frequent drop-in visits and boarding. I have years of experience caring for dogs and would love to help you out while making some extra money. Please let me know if I can help keep your dog company. Looking forward to meeting you and your dog! I have a very flexible work from home schedule so I’m available all day to be with your pet for as long as you need. I have a yard that’s not fenced but I live in a nice neighborhood with sidewalks and can take your pup on a long walk. I can also come to your home and give your pet long walks and potty breaks.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wallingford
I have a very large, loud, high energy dog, so finding a sitter can be a little nerve wracking for me. However, having Sophia watch him has been such a weight off my shoulders! She's communicative, punctual, great at photos, and willing to adjust for what your dog needs. Him being a barker and needing medication didn't phase her. Plus, you can feel the care she has for the pets she watches. She just genuinely likes hanging out with my dog, which is awesome! Whenever I need a sitter, Sophia will be who I reach out to first. I would recommend her to anyone.
Another wonderful experience with Anne Marie! Our kitties love her - they hide for other people, but routinely greet her at the door when she visits, sit with her, and get pets! We always appreciate the updates and photos, and just all-around kindness Anne Marie provides. She truly gives us peace of mind when we're away, knowing that our cats are well cared for. 💜
Kai & Devon are great - would highly recommend to anyone in the area in need of a sitter. Took great care of our crazy cat while we were out of town - the Rover Cards they shared always had some great pictures and a funny little note about what new craziness our cat was up to that day.
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 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!
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. They were so calm when I returned - relaxed and not anxious. She cared for all their food and personal needs - always checking in and keeping our family up to date! Thank you!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Wallingford is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 9,446 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wallingford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 .
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 , 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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
