About: I grew up with dogs. I had a Great Dane that lived to be 12. I currently have a mini bernedoodle that is almost 5 years old. I also have a bunny. I currently work full-time and am available on Saturday and Sunday for boarding and dog walking. From late June through August, my schedule is more flexible. I will be available daily. I live in a quiet neighborhood in a cul-de-sac with a fenced-in yard. I have a very friendly mini Bernedoodle. I love dogs that play and lazy dogs that just like to chill.

About: I am a former United States Marine, retired law enforcement officer, firefighter, and paramedic with decades of experience protecting and caring for others under pressure. Throughout my career, trust, reliability, situational awareness, and compassion were essential parts of the mission, and I carry those same values into pet care today. Whether your pet needs daily walks, drop-in visits, companionship while you’re away, medication support, or attentive overnight care, you can feel confident knowing they are in calm, capable hands. I understand how important it is to trust someone entering your home and caring for members of your family, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, as well as cats and senior pets. My background has taught me patience, consistency, and how to stay calm in unexpected situations — useful skills whether handling an energetic shepherd, a stubborn bulldog, or a cat that operates like a tiny furry insurgent. I provide attention, cuddles and playtime for your fur babies- Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a retired Marine and first responder, I'm accustomed to maintaining a structured schedule and being dependable. I have the flexibility to provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, companionship, and attentive care throughout the day. I enjoy staying active, and spending time with animals is something I genuinely look forward to. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine to reduce stress and keep them comfortable. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication administration if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are doing well. If pets stay in my home, they will be treated like family in a safe, clean, and supervised environment. I'll follow their feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided by the owner. My goal is to ensure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and cared for whether they're staying with me or I'm caring for them in their own home.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 10 years old, and I learned early on that pets are truly part of the family. Growing up, my mom regularly opened our home for dog sitting, and I’ve been helping care for pets alongside her for over five years. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving dogs the attention and companionship they need to feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re my own pets. Pet care fits well into my routine because I’m open and flexible with making time for the animals I care for. I currently work part time, which gives me availability to schedule walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and quality time with pets throughout the week. I enjoy spending time with animals, so I’m happy to adjust my routine to make sure they feel cared for, comfortable, and not alone while their owners are away. I care for every pet like they’re part of the family because that’s how I’ve always treated my own dogs. My pets are truly my babies, and I love spending time with them, whether that’s playing, relaxing together, or just keeping them company. Now that my dogs are seniors, they enjoy lounging in the sun, relaxing around the house, and spending time with their people and companions. When dogs stay in our home for boarding, we treat them like they’re our own pets. They get lots of attention, love, companionship, walks, and time to relax and feel comfortable. They spend time with our dogs, lounge around together, and are never made to feel alone. We create a calm, loving environment where pets can feel safe and at home — many even sleep on our beds because we want them to feel as comfortable and cared for as possible while their owners are away.

Jennifer did an awesome job with my 2 cats. Jennifer is dependable and provided detailed daily reports and pictures of the cats. She followed my instructions to the letter which really put my mind at ease as one of the cats is very old and I was apprehensive about leaving him alone all day. She kept the feeding area and litter box areas very clean and tidy. I wish I can give her 10 stars!

There are so many things I could say about Mariah, but it still wouldn’t be enough. She bailed us out after a one day notice. I had to go to work and she took care of our beautiful puppy teddy. He was happy having fun running around and he really enjoys seeing other people. Teddy wasn’t feeling good, yet she wrote us a card saying he’s a lot better and she just went beyond all of our expectations. If you are looking for a sitter who goes above and beyond, look no further than Mariah. We will be using her again!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 16 years old. I am now 22 with three cats of my own and a love for taking care of furry friends!!🐈‍⬛🐕 I am currently a college student available from 1-6:30 every weekday. After 4 pm on Saturday I am available and all day Sunday! My whole life I have been called an animal whisperer, as I get along with any animal I interact with. It brings me a lot of joy to care for pets and make owners feel secure in their decision to hire me. I am very detail oriented when it comes to their routine and will ask questions to confirm I am taking care of your pet correctly.

About: Will feed, walk, and love your animal companion. Will bathe and groom upon request. I treat all animals as my children. I believe that they deserve respect and love. I have a passion for caring for all living things. I have worked in an animal rescue and animal kennel in the past. I also have experience with special needs and abused animals. If your little one needs extra or specific attention I am more than able to accommodate you. If you have any questions or concerns don't be afraid to text me anytime. It's important to me that both pet and owner feel comfortable. If the animal has specific medical needs or handicaps that won't be a problem either. My home is stress free and calm. This is my full time job so I will be able to be and play at home the whole time with your pet. I usually never leave for more than an hour or two. I only have 1 cat that will be separated from all dogs coming into the home. She will stay I. Her room and the dog will have full run of the home while he/she stay here.

I am also available on weekends to care for your pup! My husband and I have two friendly pups to keep your dog(s) company whenever he or she visits. And in addition to our large backyard where the pups love to play, we also have plenty of safe roads and trails nearby to walk your dog for exercise and potty breaks.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Weatogue on Rover is $26.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 2,365 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Weatogue. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Weatogue 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 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 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 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:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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.
