About: From our family pets to neighbor pet sitting. I walk, play, bathe, and relax with pets at their homes or at the parks. I want them to enjoy the day and be able to explore around town on their walks. I’m currently working full time hybrid office opportunity. I am able to work from home and can spend time with the pets while working. I do have tax seasons where I am in office but can walk dogs during lunch time or on the weekends I am working from home and work is flexible with this. I follow any instructions given to me by the client on how to make their pet comfortable at their own home and be able to enjoy their time at home

About: As someone who knows that your pet is a part of your family, you can trust that I will do my absolute best to take care of them. I have been a pet sitter for 4 years, providing exceptional care to the pets of neighbors, family, friends and clients. I have experience caring for pets with special needs, dietary restrictions, and medication. I’m currently working full time, but I’m available for overnights with any pet! I’m okay with traveling the distance to your house to watch your pet as well as house sit if needed! I understand that animals feel most comfortable around familiar surroundings, and wouldn’t want to displace them. I’m very flexible, just let me know when I’d be needed. The environment will be your own home. Your pet will not feel displaced, and will remain comfortable in his or her own bed. I understand that familiarity is key when owners are away.
“Nicole saved my butt with a last minute notice of needing someone to come let my dog out.. She had never even met my baby who tends to be very skittish around new people for a few seconds.. but she handled it like a pro and we came home to a content happy dog,so she must have been good to him!!! she even sent me an adorable photo.. she kept me informed.. she asked all the right questions.. I couldn't recommend her more! she was great..”
“Jill was amazing. I contacted her at the last minute and hired her sight unseen based on her reviews. My puppy Charli is everything to us and I am SO excited as I feel we hit the jackpot having found her!!! I have peace of mind knowing if I need to be away from Charli, Jill is the perfect fill in for Mommie?”
“Maddie is a reliable, responsible pet sitter and is very attentive to our pets. I feel safe with her in my home and my pets just adore her. Maddie is polite, courteous and I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Melony was perhaps the best sitter I have hired. She was super responsive anytime I contacted her. She went above and beyond in her duties, even taking out the trash and ensuring everything was tidy before we returned. She was patient and kind to our less than friendly cat and never lost hope that they will eventually become friends, while also respecting her boundaries. I will absolutely be a return customer.”
About: My name is Katie and I have dogs of my own. With that being said, I understand that each pet truly needs unique and individual care. I am a teacher and have been for the past 13 years. I take care of pets in my spare time in order to earn some extra money. I can provide references upon request from families who had me take care of their dogs and cats in the past. Thank you for considering me as a potential care giver for your pet! I am a teacher so during the school year I am available late afternoons during the week and am also available on the weekend. I am more available during the summer. I care for pets of my clients the same way that I care for my own. The pets’ safety and well-being are my top priority.
About: I have owned a cat for seven years, and I enjoy brushing him, feeding him, giving him treats, cleaning the litter box, and cuddling. Sometimes he comes into my room, jumps on my bed, and sleeps with me. I also walk a puppy, a bulldog, named Buckiss. I clean up after him, and enjoy spending time rubbing his belly, and playing catch. At the end of our walk, I bring him back to his house, feed him, and give him water. I follow strict feeding instructions on how much food to give, and what kind of food he's allowed to have (no more than 2 treats a day). When walking in the winter, I make sure Buckiss has dog booties so his feet don't get hurt. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time in my schedule to care for your pet! I have a pretty flexible schedule. When I come to take care of a pet in my client’s home, I make sure that they are cared for with love and I do everything I can to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable with me. I also make sure that when I end the stay, the client’s home is in the same or better condition than when I first came. I will make sure to clean after myself and leave the place looking as spotless as I can. I try to be a considerate and clean house guest.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Kaylee for our dog Nikko while we were away for two weeks. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make sure he was not only cared for, but truly loved and engaged. Kaylee spent extra time with Nikko, took him on car rides (which he loves!), and made sure he had both fun and comfort while we were gone. It was clear from the photos and updates—and even more so when we returned—that he really enjoyed his time with her. She treated Nikko like her own, and that kind of care is priceless. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We highly recommend Kaylee and would absolutely book with her again!”

Taylor was so wonderful to our two dogs while we were away for the evening. She was also kind enough to work with us on a last-minute schedule change. Our dogs loved her and she communicated with us often while visiting. We can’t wait to have her visit next month as well!
Kailah has been great with my dogs! I have 2 rescues who are super nervous around new people. This was our 3rd time booking with Kailah, she has been super patient and they are starting to warm up to her. I would recommend Kailah and will definitely be using her services again.
Steph was soo amazing and such a sweetheart with my dogs. My Bella is weary of people but warmed up to Steph extremely fast. Her updates and photos of our dogs during her visits made it all the more heartwarming and comforting knowing they’re in good hands. Definitely highly recommend and will be coming back when needed. Thank you again for being so wonderful! 🤍💕

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 Waterbury 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.
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 Waterbury 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Waterbury with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
