“Michelle saved us after a last minute cancellation with another sitter. She was ready to take in our boy within an hour and kept him overnight. We will absolutely be using her again!”

About: Hi!! My name is Steph! I am a registered nurse but I love to pet/house sit and walk dogs on the side ! I am pet CPR and first aid certified (see in my pictures)!! I would love to help you out and care for your dog(s), cat(s), any animal! As a registered nurse, caring, kindness, reliability, and good communication are all in my nature. I am conveniently located in Middlebury and can service areas in a 20 minute radius! I can travel outside this radius for a travel fee. I offer dog walking, drop in visits for any pets, overnight house sitting, and I can accommodate small dogs for doggy day care and boarding in my home. I am happy to provide house sitting because it allows your pets be comfortable at home versus in an unfamiliar and scary kennel. It also gives you peace of mind knowing they are happy and safe at home and that your home is being responsibly cared for. My style of housesitting is making your home my new home base for the length of the booking. I work three overnight (11pm-7am) shifts a week. So other than work, errands, check ins on my house and family, I will be at your house with your pets :) I can also dog sit/doggy day care (smaller-medium dogs) at my house. I only take up to two dogs from the same family at a time, so they will get my full attention and you won't have to worry about how they may get along with other dogs! Please feel free to contact me with questions and let me know what your specific needs are for your pets/house sitting. I always do meet and greets, free of charge, with new clients to meet my new animal friend(s) and discuss a customized care plan in person :) Thank you for looking at my profile! Hope to hear from you soon ! I always try my best to accommodate last minute requests from new clients. And my regular clients know my flexiblity and can reach out to me anytime! I follow the feeding schedule/any instructions you provide. Fresh water given frequently. I make sure using the bathroom is a priority, so for dogs, being let outside as much as possible, for cats, clean litter box(es). All medications are given safely. I make sure I spend quality time with your pet. Whatever their needs are.... Playing, cuddling/petting, going for walks, treats, etc, I make it happen ! I make certain your pets are safely inside and your house is secure before I leave.
“Hailey was wonderful and a dog loving person. She updated me with pictures and took care of Tucker’s medication needs. She will be my first choice when in the area again. She has a lovely home and yard.”
“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! So helpful with our last minute booking modification. Took great care of King and sent us so many updates while away (pictures included)!! Highly recommend!”
“Araceli was very sweet and accommodating with my dog Bella. This was my first experience using rover and she made it as seamless as possible. She provided photo and video updates which I appreciated! I would definitely book with Araceli in the future for doggy care!”
“It was a pleasure working with Dawn. She kept us informed of how Rocco was doing for the day he was with her, he was taken good care of and Dawn was very understanding considering we got delayed owing to traffic. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for dog care when you are out and want just the best. Thanks Dawn, will be in touch”
“Melanie is amazing! She made us feel so comfortable with leaving our pup for the first time. Her level of communication was perfect and I think Shasta was genuinely sad to come home.”
“Tatyana was amazing, she took such good care of our puppy. Tatyana communicated to us during the whole weekend and went above and beyond for Charli, I would absolutely recommend.”
“It was our first time leaving our puppy Misha with a sitter for 2 nights, and we are so grateful to Catherina for her thoughtful care. She was very organized, responded promptly to my messages, and sent photos of Misha at home and during walks. She gave Misha his prescription medication on time, and he had fun playing with Catherina's puppies. We are so happy with Cat's great care, and highly recommend her.”
“Sherry provided wonderful care for Denver and Bronco while we were away for 11 days. She spoiled them so much and allowed our family to truly relax and enjoy our vacation.”
“Lindy had such a great time with Laurie's family, both human and canine. She had so many friends to play with and got even better exercise than she normally does at home - she's looking forward to seeing them all again!”
“Nickimmy was great-totally recommend. She was super responsive when communicating about a nd treated Milo like he was her own family pet. My fiancé and I were very nervous to leave Milo with someone new to him, as we are anxious pet parents, but we both felt immediately comfortable leaving Milo in Nickimmy’s care. She provided frequent pictures and check ins, lots of walks and time outside, and she even comforted him when he woke up in the middle of the night howling bc he missed us! We will definitely leave Milo with Nickimmy again and can’t recommend her and her sweet family enough.”
“Had a great experience with Kristin! Our two pups stayed for a week - our boy suffers from seizures which Kristin had experience with. Kristin was wonderful at keeping us updated on his condition during their stay. We received daily reports and pictures. I appreciate how well Kristin took care of our pups!”
“Baxter loved his stay! He was very well taken care of. Spoiled actually! Communication was excellent and I knew he was in great hands. Especially thankful that he was accommodated at short notice. Thank you!”
“Jayme is amazing! I appreciated her attentiveness to Jazzy’s idiosyncrasies . She texted whenever she had questions in a way that I knew she really cared about him. Thank you for taking such good care of my little boy!”
“Rocky had a great stay with Kevin and Brian! He came home nice and tired from all his playing and he was cared for well! This was our second time with Kevin and Brian and we recommend them for any of your fur babies!”
“My dog, Atticus, age 2, had his first full day with Margaret a few days ago. He was very well taken care of including a couple of walks. He was happy to play fetch and take naps after walking. It was easy to tell by his face and composure that he had a great day...there was no visible stress when he returned home. Another dependable companion 'star' in his young life when I am not around! Many thanks, M :)”

I’ve left my Lubear (55lb Kintamani Mix Dog) with Yajaira multiple times and she was nothing but the best. She took care of my baby girl like she was her own. She was very responsive to my questions and let me know updates if I mentioned anything worrying about my baby. Forever will continue to book her! 1000% recommend.
Victoria did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Kujo! She made sure all the pets were safe, gave him plenty of love and attention, and treated him like one of her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!
This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! She took wonderful care of my dog, kept me updated with messages, and gave me complete peace of mind. She was also incredibly accommodating when I realized I had forgotten to include an extra day on my original booking, and she made the process so easy. On top of that, she patiently helped me navigate the Rover app as a first-time user, which I really appreciated. Kind, reliable, and communicative—I would absolutely book with her again!

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.

There are 1,047 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Waterbury. About 90% of Waterbury sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
