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.
“Absolutely fantastic Sitter (what every one of his 50+ reviews says & more. Actually deserves a 6th or 7th Star!). Jade is extremely communicative. Even did research on my pet prior to showing up for the walk-thru). - Recognized the cat was 12 years old & asked if he needed any medication or dietary needs (very impressive)! Jade has a way with animals - my cat (normally a little skittish of people he isn’t familiar with) warmed right up to him. Even checked the mail for me (without being asked). Can’t recommend high enough & I will definitely call upon his services again!”
About: I try to take parts of Cesar Milan's strategy with dogs specifically. Trying to not reward bad behavior. Making sure a pet can respect my boundaries. Currently have a dog walking client at Winding Brook Condominiums in Meriden. I’m there twice a day for 30 minute walks and play. I bought some balls for her so she can play. Have videos and lots of photos. I work flexible hours as an independent contractor so I make my own schedule. I am building my pet care business so I am signing up for a drone pilots license for pet recovery. I am also working on upgrading my vehicle to a minivan. I am offering pet sitting in your home until that can change to my home. I am needing different things done to my home before I can bring pets to my house.
“Acadia ... was great! She sent pics and updates regularly. She was always courteous and professional and from the moment that I met her, I knew I could count on her to take care of Buddy in our home. She left everything clean and neat, followed directions, asked questions when she wasn't sure about something and more. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and I'm sure I will.”
About: Hi, my name is Tiffany, and I recently moved into the neighborhood. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share a bit about what I do. I am an animal rescuer and a Connecticut-licensed wildlife rehabilitator, and I also offer dog walking and in-home pet sitting services. Animals are truly my passion, and I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members. We also offer pet waste removal services for your yard. I work from home and dedicate my life to the care of pets of all species. This is my passion. I am very flexible and will take care of your baby as though they are my own. I have a large fenced in yard. I have a safe home. I also am available to take care of any pet within their own home as I know this is the most comfortable and stress-free for your fur baby.
About: I’ve had dogs of all sizes myself, and have friends and family whose cats I’ve watched as well. I am extremely active and can walk/run dogs all day long! I’d love to help your dogs be more active with me! I am a college student who works on campus, but I do have afternoons and weekends free. I have a reliable vehicle so I can make it to appointments. I’d love to get on a weekly schedule of dog walking to make activity normal for their lives and mine! I’m very respectful and professional about being invited into someone’s home to care for their pet. I’m a stickler for rules and standards, and will always communicate what the proper care is before I arrive for your pet.
“Ace did a wonderful job with our 2 cats! They both loved him, he gave them lots of attention and helped keep things as normal as possible for them while we were away. Ace had no issue giving my older boy medication and followed all directions perfectly. Will definitely use him again.”
“Courtney is an absolutely wonderful, trustworthy, caring cat-sitter. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her and to continue working with her as my periodic sitter. She has a lovely presence and a calming energy that my cats absolutely gravitate to--she immediately gained their trust and mine. Courtney is responsive and communicative, which really sets me at ease--especially when I've needed to take longer trips away from my two cats. I cannot recommend her more highly!”
About: My first “job” was dog sitting when I was in first grade. I included snuggling them every night in my promise to owners, and to this day nothing has changed. I work at the children’s hospital as a pediatric audiology extern from 7:30 am-6 pm every day. I would love to dog walk on weekday evenings and I am available to pet sit and dog walk on weekends. Pets’ safety is always the number one priority. With me, your pet will never be unattended or in dangerous situations. I also value other people’s space and home.
“We love continuing to book Bella. She is so accommodating, responsible, and trustworthy. We could not be more comfortable with any other sitter in our home and looking after our cat. She is so gentle and patient with our scaredy cat. He has really grown to love her and come out of his shell with her. Thank you so much Bella! Ru looks forward to seeing you soon!”
“Julianna took the best of care of my shy cat, Nina. She was responsible, dependable, and loving. Nina did not hide when Julianna came in, she embraced and welcomed her with love. This was an enormous relief given I was out of the country. Julianna removed all worry and anxiety.”
About: Hello! My name is Shelby and I am a recent grad from Georgetown University! After years of volunteering at LaMancha animal rescue and dog walking / pet sitting on the Wag app, my favorite way to spend my spare time is with furry friends. I would love to meet some new fur babies on Rover!! I work from 8:00-4:30 every weekday, but my weekends are very open. I’m an early bird so I have no problem stopping by before work, and I have access to a car so I don’t mind a long(ish) journey :) I am comfortable crating dogs and attentive to feeding/medication details. As a pet lover, you bet I’m comfortable playing with and giving lots of belly rubs to your furbaby !
“My cat took instantly to Michelle during our get acquainted meeting. I felt very secure leaving Betsey in her care. She did not disappoint! The photos she sent showed a happy cat. I should mention that normally Betsey is very skittish. That did not show while Michelle took care of her”

I am pursuing a degree part-time and have a flexible work schedule. I am centrally located in Middletown, CT and am willing to drive within about an hour of there to provide care. I like connecting with you and your pet before sitting to develop rapport and to get an understanding of their routines. I like to mirror the way you provide a safe environment for them within your home. This offers a sense of consistency and calm in what may sometimes feel like a stress-inducing situation for your animal. Their safety and health are the priority while they are under my care.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have three cats of my own—Venus, Ivy, and Floki. Floki is a Maine Coon, giving me experience caring for larger felines with big personalities! I understand that every pet has unique needs, whether that means playtime, cuddles, walks, medication, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. Outside of pet care, I love hiking, thrifting, scary movies, and spending time with friends and family. I am currently a counseling intern, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 One of the benefits of being a graduate counseling intern is having a flexible schedule! I currently have full-day availability Friday through Monday and additional flexibility Tuesday through Thursday, allowing me to be available when your pets need care, attention, and companionship. My schedule makes it easy to provide consistent visits and reliable care while you’re away. 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I strive to provide reliable, attentive care while respecting your pet’s routine and individual needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, cuddles, or simply having a calm presence around, I am committed to creating a safe and positive experience. I will care for your pets with the same patience, compassion, and attention that I give my own animals, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Rate: $110/day Going away or need an extra hand with your pets? Message me with your dates and tell me a little about your pet—I’d love to provide them with loving, personalized care while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m an Airbnb host and property manager, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to manage my time around the pets in my care. I’m accustomed to being organized, responsive, and attentive to details while managing a property, coordinating guests, and maintaining a welcoming, well-kept environment. I also have 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, fish, and reptiles. I’m comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, providing exercise and playtime, handling daily routines, and giving pets plenty of companionship and attention. Because my work is flexible and largely self-managed, I can accommodate daytime visits, walks, extended stays, and overnight care. I’m able to structure my schedule around each pet’s routine rather than expecting them to fit around a rigid workday, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care while their owners are away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, walks, playtime, medications, rest, and bedtime, while giving them plenty of attention and companionship along the way. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and take pride in leaving things just as I found them. As an Airbnb host and property manager, I’m accustomed to being responsible, organized, and attentive to the details that make a home feel comfortable and well maintained. Most importantly, I take the time to get to know each pet individually. Some thrive on activity and attention, while others prefer a quieter pace and a little space. My goal is to provide thoughtful, dependable care that keeps your pet happy and comfortable—and gives you peace of mind while you’re away.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
