“Once again Carol helped us out with Cody and we couldn’t be happier! She is even sharing a few resources to help Cody with her separation anxiety. Carol goes above and beyond!”

“Elissa is the BEST! My poor girl was very anxious and confused when she first came over, and she handled her so well. She was patient and loving, and I appreciated that she kept me informed. An added bonus- When I got home, the house was spotless and looked like I never left! Your fur babies will be in amazing hands with Elissa!”

“Jessica was really great with our boys! They’re new to us and we didn’t know what to expect with a sitter but needed to attend a memorial today with short notice and reached out to Jessica just a couple days ago. Not only did she make herself available on short notice, she also made sure she could come by earlier today with her kids to see how everyone would interact. This was really helpful to familiarize everyone in advance and a big help to us to see how well our boys got along with “human puppies” - worked out so great! While we were gone, Jessica sent a bunch of FANTASTIC pics to keep us informed. Being new to our dogs and this being the first time we hired at home sitters for them, I think Jessica and I learned a few things simple we can do to clarify communication with each other in advance which went really well considering we had so little time to prepare! Would definitely welcome Jessica and the kids back again - our boys really loved them and enjoyed their time together - and they were happily exhausted when we got home still sleeping some 4 hours later! Thanks Jessica!”


“Janessa is amazing and so trustworthy!!! She watched our 2 dogs while we were away and we didn’t have to worry at all. She provided just enough updates and we came home to a clean house! Would highly recommend Janessa”

“Aiden did an amazing job with watching our dog and house while we were away for 5 nights. Dog was well cared for, happy and comfortable while we were away. Aiden was very communicative and we returned home to our house as clean as we left it. Thank you, Aiden!”

“Erin was so great with Banner. She made sure to get him out for a walk or an adventure each day - something no other sitter has done. My boy is very high energy so he needs that stimulation she was able to provide! She updated me with pictures and texts each day which made me feel confident that Banner was in good hands. Thank you Erin for a great first stay with Banner!”

“Having Julie G house sit and care for my 85 lb. hound Dave was dreamlike. She seemed to accept and appreciate Dave and his coonhound ways seamlessly from the jump. She took copious notes about Da daily needs and expectations at the meet & greet, asked intelligent questions about his routine and I was able to leave town completely confident Dave was in good loving hands. She sent me daily pics and reports while I was away, and left Dave mellower and the house cleaner than it was when I left. A terrific experience from my perspective Can't recommend Julie G strongly enough as a house and hound sitter.”


“Tashani was literally the best -- she was super communicative and sent through daily updates about Libby & Cinder! We got back from a week-long trip to a clean house, happy animals, and a flourishing garden. We'll definitely work with Tashani for future trips!!”

“Hailey was great with Banner! He was a little wary at first, but she was patient with him and eventually won him over. She took good care of him and left my house clean and tidy. Thanks Hailey!”

About: I have had all animals of all kind since I was a little kid. I first started dog sitting when I was 11 and have worked as a farm manger and farm sitter throughout the last four years of college in South Carolina with my one year old Vizsla Juno. I have just moved back to Massachusetts, where I grew up, to attend law school and would love to spend time with your pups! I am spending the year studying for the LSAT’s and will be available during week days and weekends for walks and overnight pet sitting whenever you need. I have two very friendly vizslas who love to play and go for walks of hikes with other dogs. I have cared for all kids of dogs including elderly, rehabbing, reactive, and puppies. I am completely committed to keeping your dogs safe and happy life they are my own.
“Chris took such good care of our dogs. During our initial meeting, he asked follow up questions so that he clearly understood the feeding routine. He asked other questions that let us know he read the profile ahead of time. His daily updates provided excellent information and great photos. We are so happy for what Chris did. We highly recommend him. We will always check his availability when we are going out of town.”

About: Hi! I’m Meghan! Lifelong animal lover, experienced pet sitter, nurse, NP student, and very proud mom to a house full of four-legged chaos aka my “zoo”. 🐾 Animals have quite literally always been part of my life. I have 25+ years of experience caring for dogs and 18+ years caring for cats, and I’ve been pet sitting through Rover since my early college days. At home, I have four pets of my own: three cats and one dog, so I completely understand that our pets aren’t “just pets.” They’re family, and leaving them with someone else requires a whole lot of trust. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting, and I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, personalities, sizes, and energy levels… from wild little puppies who think everything is a snack to sweet senior pets who prefer a slower pace and some extra TLC. ❤️ As a registered nurse, I’m calm, dependable, detail-oriented, and very comfortable following specific care instructions. I can administer oral AND IM medications, accommodate special feeding routines, and provide attentive care for senior pets or animals who need a little extra patience and monitoring. My schedule is also a little different than your typical 9–5! I currently work about 24 hours per week as an ER nurse while also attending school, which gives me flexibility for daytime visits, odd hours, walks, and varying schedules. If your pet has a routine, I’ll do my best to keep it feeling as normal as possible while you’re away. And yes, I’m absolutely the sitter who will send you way too many pictures and updates. 😂📸 I want you to be able to enjoy your trip, workday, or time away knowing your babies are safe, happy, loved, and probably being spoiled. What you can expect from me: 🐶 25+ years of dog experience 🐱 18+ years of cat experience 🐾 10+ years Longtime Rover sitter 💊 Comfortable administering oral & IM medications 👵 Senior pet care 🍼 Puppy & kitten care 🦮 Dog walking & exercise 🏡 Drop-ins & house sitting ⏰ Flexible availability, including odd hours 📸 Plenty of photos and updates ❤️ Lots of patience, cuddles, playtime, and individualized attention Every animal has their own personality, routine, quirks, and favorite things and getting to know those little details is honestly one of my favorite parts of pet sitting. Whether your dog needs an adventure buddy, your cat needs someone to respectfully earn their approval from across the room, or your senior baby just needs a calm companion while you’re away, I’d love to be their new favorite sitter. 🐾❤️ I truly couldn’t imagine life without animals, and I’ll care for yours just like I do my own. I also promise to send you an obscene number of adorable photo updates, because let’s be honest, your pets are way too cute not to share. 🐶🐱💕 Pet care is truly built into the rhythm of my everyday life! I start each morning with breakfast for my crew. Everyone has their own food, routine, and needs (including medications), so I’m very used to managing individualized care. Dinner is served right at 5PM, and I take pride in keeping everything consistent and stress-free for them. My favorite part of the day? Cuddle time—whether we’re curled up on the couch or relaxing outside together, those moments are pure magic. For my dogs, daily walks and park trips are a must! We’re lucky to have a great open space nearby where they can run freely, sniff everything in sight, and just be dogs. Caring for pets isn’t a chore for me—it’s one of the most joyful, grounding parts of my day. Whether they have paws, whiskers, or wagging tails, they’re family. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets, whether I’m stopping by for a quick visit, going on a walk, or staying overnight in your home. In your home, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible. I follow all care instructions to the letter, from feeding schedules and medications to favorite hiding spots and potty routines. I always double-check that doors are locked, gates are secure, and your pet is happy and safe before I leave. For walks, I use secure harnesses or collars, avoid high-traffic areas, and stay alert to your pet’s comfort level. No matter the service, I treat your home and your pets with the same respect and care I give my own. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment that your pet feels safe in—because when you’re away, they deserve to feel at home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Granby
Amber stayed overnight to care for our home and our two dogs, and we couldn’t be happier with her care. She paid close attention to every detail we shared, especially for one of our dogs who is still a puppy, and was thoughtful about their individual quirks and routines. She took them on walks, followed all of our requests exactly, and clearly made them feel comfortable and loved...they adored her. Our home was spotless and well cared for when we returned. Amber truly went above and beyond when our flight was unexpectedly delayed, stopping by to care for our dogs even though that was not part of the original plan. That level of reliability and kindness gave us such peace of mind. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, attentive house and pet sitter.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred West Granby walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in West Granby maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 West Granby 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
