About: I have been training and caring for animals professionally for 16+ years, and doing so for my own animals for even longer. I strive to treat guests like my own dogs with individual care, frequent potty breaks, snuggles as needed, a pleasant bedtime routine, and daily exercise and entertainment. Safety is at the forefront of everything that I do. That includes but is not limited to keeping your dog safe and healthy. In addition to 24/7 video monitoring and professional handling while outside on leash, there are some medical records I require to be up to date for the health of my guests and my own dogs. This includes: Rabies and Distemper vaccines (Bordetella and Canine Influenza vaccines are strongly recommended but not required) Negative fecal exam and heartworm test from within the last 12 months If you have proof of these up-to-date records or can get them up to date before your boarding request, I would be happy to get you on the schedule! Booking as early as possible is the best way to get this accomplished. My boarding operation is also fully insured. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend =) I am an adjunct college professor. This means my schedule does not fit the typical 9-5 schedule, which allows me to work from home often or pop home in the middle of the day if I am working on campus. I see my own dogs frequently throughout the day, which means I will see yours too! When boarding at my home, guests have their own personal spaces in a converted bedroom. The room is climate controlled and has 24/7 video monitoring.

About: I campaigned to my parents to get our dog for years and paid for his adoption fee. I have watched several dogs while babysitting children as well, and used to watch my neighbors and friends cats and dogs often when I was younger. I have also recently looked after a few gerbils and used to own 4 guinea pigs! I would love to watch or walk anybody’s cats or dogs because I really just enjoy the experience of being around animals so much, they bring everyone around them so much peace and joy and are the purest creatures! I’m currently a sophomore in college, so I’m looking to fill up my breaks by spending time with animals! I am available from now December 27th through January 20th as well as most weekends because I come home from school. My semester ends in early May so by around May 10th I should be free until the end of August! I will walk and play with dogs, give dogs and cats food and water, pet and show love to dogs and cats I’m watching and anything else requested you usually do with your pet at home so long as it’s reasonable!

“Enrik was awesome! We were away for 10 days and were so much more relaxed knowing our dog was being taken care of. He went above and beyond what we asked for, checking on the dog multiple times a day, and even taking down our garbage on collection day. I would recommend Enrik to anyone who needs someone to look after their furry pet when they are away. Thanks Enrik!”

About: When I was 10 I joined a dog training program through my school, that’s where my training experience began. I provide a premium, low-volume dog care experience for owners who want their dog to have more one-on-one attention in a calm home environment. Your dog won’t be just one of many in a crowded space. I keep my care more personal so each dog gets plenty of attention, supervision, and outdoor time. I have a big yard for dogs to enjoy, but my indoor space is smaller, so I am very intentional about keeping the number of dogs low. That means I can focus on your dog’s comfort, safety, and overall experience much more closely. This is a great fit for dogs who do better with a quieter setting and for owners who value quality of care over high-volume boarding or daycare. I generally only take one to a few dogs at a time unless they are from the same household. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs. I took care of my childhood dog for 17 years of her long, beautiful life. I have experience working with small senior dogs specifically and I know all the little things that they appreciate. I also have experience with large dogs and can handle very big strong dogs. I also love hiking with dogs so if you have an energetic dog you need to burn off energy I am your guy. I have an acre yard with a fenced in front yard in a nice area. Any dog that boards with me would be treated like my own dog and let out very frequently to go to the bathroom and play outside. I would always remain home with your dog. Thank you for considering me and I hope to meet your pet soon! I’m currently a fully remote student so I am fully available. If I board a pet I will be with them full time to make sure they receive the care they deserve. I have a fenced in front yard, and a good amount of unfenced land in the back. My dog is very friendly and would keep your pet great company. He loves dogs and cats. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but would love to give your dog the pet experience and treat them like my own. I live in a nice are and have great access to the woods nearby as well.

“Sam is the best!! She’s such an incredibly caring and dedicated pet sitter. Even on a shorter visit, she sent multiple updates and pictures of my cat. My older, nervous cat absolutely loves her, and my cat will probably be disappointed when it’s me who comes home & not Sam! She made sure to send updates specific to what I was worried about (my cat being reluctant to eat her new, vet-prescribed food), and she even used some tricks to convince my cat to eat more! She even took out the trash and did more with the litter box than I had asked her to do. She’s the best pet sitter I’ve ever hired, and I’m really looking forward to hiring her again!!”

About: I have experience with dogs, working at a doggy day care for about 2 years. I learned a lot of skills from that role, like patience, how to handle aggressive behavior and de escalating situations between dogs. I also did some grooming as well (baths & nails trims) and administered medications. I have a free schedule for the rest of the summer so I'll be available pretty much any time until late august. I’m available every morning and evening, except Sunday mornings but are available Sunday evenings and afternoons for dog walks. Morning times are open to your preference but I’d say about 7am-11am and in the afternoon-evening 12pm-6pm. I am also available for overnight stays for as many days as you need! I would make sure to understand your pets individual needs and clarify those things with You before sitting. I like to know what the schedule is so I can adjust accordingly. I'd make sure they are fed and walked and played with.

About: Your dog is more than a pet — they’re family. We provide a warm, loving, and secure environment where your furry friend feels safe, happy, and cared for. Whether you’re away for a day or a week, you can rest easy knowing your dog is in trusted hands, getting belly rubs, playtime, and the personal attention they deserve. Because peace of mind isn’t a luxury — it’s a promise. Consider me as your on-call pet sitter. I have currently moved to California all the way from the east coast. Whenever you need me, I’m here ! How I Care for Pets in Your Home – With Safety, Trust, and Comfort at the Heart of It All When I care for your pets, whether I’m house sitting, walking them, or simply dropping in, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has a unique routine, personality, and needs — and I take the time to learn and follow your instructions closely to ensure they feel secure and loved in your absence. In your home, I maintain a calm, respectful presence, keeping your pet’s environment clean, stress-free, and familiar. I provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and gentle companionship, always with an eye on their behavior and well-being. For drop-ins and walks, I show up reliably and treat your pet like my own — keeping them on safe routes, away from hazards, and paying close attention to their body language and comfort. I always prioritize secure leash handling, water breaks, and positive reinforcement. Your trust means everything to me, and I care for your pets and home with professionalism, love, and integrity.

About: Welcome, y'all! I love watching dogs. We watch kitty cats too 😁. Cheapest rates around! Let me make it easier for you to celebrate your vacation and holidays! Let me sit for your pup. I...love... dogs! My parents were dog breeders for years. As a youngster, I was responsible for many of the chores. As an adult, I have always had pets. I know how important your dog is to you. Your dog is your 'baby'. We are definitely dog lovers in this house! Big dog specialist. I love the little dogs too, though! ☺️💪🎄🎁❤️‍🩹 I will treat your pup like my own. I am a teacher during the day. I'm usually home by 3. I'm home every afternoon and every night and every weekend. I do have flexibility in my work schedule should they need arise. I have a dog lead hooked up to the house and it goes all the way back to the maple tree on the back of the property. 20 ft in either direction gives Fido plenty of room to go to the bathroom. Otherwise, your pup is in the house with me and my family. I am offering dog boarding services. This is a friendly Christian home. Lots of love to share.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Weatogue

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Weatogue on Rover is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. 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 2,341 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Weatogue. 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.

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 Weatogue 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 .

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.

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 .

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 Weatogue with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Weatogue. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
