“My husband and I knew upon meeting Tara for the first time that she was the perfect fit with our cat, Charlie. Charlie is very shy and usually hides when people come to visit. However, this was not the case when Tara entered our home. Tara did a top-notch job taking care of Charlie during her drop in visits over a period of one month. We were so happy when she sent up pictures and updates. Tara is reliable, kind, professional, and a true animal lover. Cats can be messy with the litter, etc. But with Tara on the job, we came home to a very neat home and well-fed, content cat. We will definitely seek Tara services again. Furthermore, we highly recommend her. Thanks a million, Tara.”
“Ashley was an excellent sitter and visited our 3 cats, at our home, over Christmas! Excellent communicator and took great care of our pets (including one with special dietary needs). Our house is in the same condition as we left it and our cats are stressed free and happy. Thank you for taking such good care of them and taking time to play and send photos!”
About: I provide, as well as top-notch care,a uniquely adaptive music therapy session for your pet so that even the most high-strung pets can feel relaxed and reassured by the sound of live classical piano music. A professional musician,I have also raised a litter of 10 puppies and have owned at least one dog at every point in my life.I am a consummate pet lover with 2 dogs currently. If your animal is a bit of a loner I can provide sequestered accommodations. I have a 16 year old who also loves animals; she as well has never lived without a dog. One of her passions is horseback riding and through this activity she has achieved a gentle but commanding demeanor around most animals. Between the two of us your pet will never lack a playmate! My work schedule allows for either me or my daughter to always be at home, so the pets have round the clock love and attention. I have a fenced in yard, and a house with plenty of space for pets to hang out. My 2 dogs are very friendly and are used to visiting dogs.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life, I took animal science in High school and worked in dog related jobs for about 5 years. I currently have five of my own fur babies. 3 pups and 2 cats I currently am out of work for the summer and I have open availability. Late August I will return to work as a preschool teacher and will be available evenings and weekends. I will take care of your dog as if they were my own, following all the requirements that you set up before hand. Giving your dog all my attention and love.
About: I enjoy the outdoors and taking a walk. Your dog will have lots of play time, as well as fun, treats, food and water. I just like having a dog around to keep each other company so they are not home alone for long time period, you know getting into mischief we can do that together and have more fun haha. I currently do not have any dogs but will get one when the time is right. I have enjoyed and attended dog shows showing for obedience and agility(Dalmatians). I also attended and passed the canine good citizenship test with my first dog. My second dog was adopted and we did agility and was a lot of fun. A dog is a companion in which you meet other dog friendly people. I'm currently working full time but would have time to care for your fur kid/s before and after work, get mail, water plants, check house. I do not have a fenced yard so would take your fur kids out on a leash at your home or if fenced and you chose for them to be loose at your home.
“She did a wonderful job eith my cats. They did hide on her but if I had her a few more days I am sure they would have liked her. If there is ever a time when I need a cat sitter again, I will hire her again”
About: I grew up with as many as 5 cats and two dogs at a time. I am familiar with caring for most pets including rodents and fish. I work from home so taking a break to walk or feed pets is not an issue. There is even some extra time to give them some attention too! My dog has free roaming permission in the backyard and we also have a cage for large dogs available. For visiting dogs we walk them on a leash since they are not familiar with the area.
“Ashley was amazing! We were in constant communication, she sent a ton of pictures, and I could enjoy being away knowing my three kitties were well taken care of. There was inclement weather and she still found a way to get to my place and take care of my kitties. Thank you so much Ashley!!”
“Samantha is amaizing!!! I'm a nervous nelly pet mom and she made my first pet sitter experience with my doggo a breeze. My dog is a big dog who has some anxiety issues and she was willing to meet him first and get to know him. She was very professional, flexible, punctual, and her report card was very fun and reassuring to read as a helicopter mom to a 80lb fur baby. I am hoping to use her as my pet sitter for a long time and simply cannot recommend her enough. Thanks Samantha!”
About: Hi! I’m Nicole, a 27-year-old animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m confident in providing attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m friendly, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time playing, walking, and bonding with animals. I look forward to meeting you and giving your pet the care and attention they deserve! I am normally available Wednesday and weekends, For more descriptions and availability check my profile information, can’t wait to meet your family! ! ! I am currently available on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays only, and I make sure to dedicate focused, quality time to each pet during those days. At the moment, I don’t offer care in my own home since I have multiple pets. However, I’m happy to provide care in your home or take your dog out for walks. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment while sticking to their usual routine.
“Tara is so sweet and kind to our kitties! She hung out with them and gave them lots of good pets and attention I can tell that she’s spent time there because they seemed calm when I got home. I highly recommend Tara!”
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.
About: I have years of hands-on pet care experience, starting with caring for family dogs and continuing professionally at a doggy daycare. I work with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments, ensuring safe play, proper routines, and individualized attention. As a dog owner myself, I understand the trust involved in pet sitting and treat every dog with patience, consistency, and care. I can do Mornings from 5:30 or 6am to 11am, I work from 12-6 pm so after work I can do 6:30pm-whenever is needed. from Monday-Friday. Weekends I can do anytime. I always make sure that the pets are safe, are always feed, always have water, and I take them out on walks very frequently. If the parents are ok with it I also like to take them to dog parks to learn socialization and to be able to run around and have fun without possibly breaking anything in the house.
“Amanda was great! She was consistent and made sure my cats had everything they needed. Including taking care of cleaning the cat bowls and picking up after one of them got sick. She gave good updates. Would use again and recommend to others.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Torrington
Elaine did a truly amazing job dropping in to check on my cat Chomsky! She was so reliable, provided excellent care, and kept me updated the whole time. It gave me peace of mind knowing my baby was in such great hands. I highly recommend her and will absolutely book her again!
We had the pleasure of working with Meaghan for our first time using Rover. Opening your home to a stranger and leaving your fur babies with someone that you don’t know can be nerve-racking. However, we were ultra pleased to find our puppies home, safe and happy and we would use both Meaghan and Rover again 8)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Torrington is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $34 per visit. 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. 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 November 2026, there are 1,873 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Torrington. 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.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Torrington. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
