“Hannah was great - she checked in daily and always sent us photos. Ralph can take a while to warm up to people but she gave him his time and by the last day he was her pal! She did everything we asked and even picked up the mail and brought a delivered amazon package inside! I would definitely request Hannah’s services again and I highly recommend her to other cat people!!”
“Erin is amazing and Atlas loves her! She is extremely receptive to requests and available when I need her. Having Erin check on Atlas makes leaving him less stressful since I know I can rely on her to take care of him as if he were her own! I would highly recommend her!!”
About: I’ve had my own dog, Lily, for 12 years—she’s been with me since she was just 2 months old. Caring for her throughout every stage of life has given me hands on experience with everything from puppy training to adult dog care. I genuinely love dogs and feel comfortable with their different needs and personalities. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve also dog sat for several families in my neighborhood. I’m now looking to continue dog sitting over the summer before starting my career as a Physician Assistant in the fall. I’m excited to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care for every dog I look after. This summer I am only working in the morning on Saturdays and afternoon on Sundays, making my schedule free and flexible for your pet’s needs! I am expected to start my full time job in September, but I am happy to continue dog sitting for you when time allows : ) I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, crate use, and any special needs or medications. I understand that every dog is different and has individualized needs, and I am happy to help them in whatever way I can. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines. I also provide regular updates and photos, so owners feel confident their pet is safe and happy while they’re away.
“Jesey checked in on my cat for a week and I couldn't have been happier with his drop-in visits. I appreciated how thorough his Rover Cards were and had great peace of mind knowing my cat was taken care of in my absence. I would definitely hire Jesey again!”
“Rachael was great with Cali. She communicated incredibly well with me prior to, during, and after her visit with my puppy. I would absolutely use her services again and highly recommend her”
About: I've had 3 cats 2 dogs 2 horses and 3 rabbits in my life time, returning to my original passion for a career. Working towards animal rehab specialist to help pets return home after a serious injury. Dearly fond of my babies, and yours as well! I currently have a ton of free time, in the process of choosing my next steps and courses. Ready whenever you or your fur baby needs me! I will monitor your pets needs closely, as well as take potty samples, give medication and update photos as needed! Your baby is important to me, an eye will be kept on them at all times. If an accident happens I will clean it no issue. Time spent playing with them is important to me so they feel fully enriched as well as the perfect environment to rest while you're away. I'm entirely flexible to their needs.
“This is our second time using Austin. He is always promt and on time for his visits. We never have to second guess if he will be there. Very respectful and responsible. He also sends out his daily report immediately after every visit. Keeps us informed and updated. We have found our sitter.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs almost my whole life, and finally decided to branch out and get more clients on my roster. I am a nineteen year old college student studying to become a music teacher, and I have two small dogs of my own. I have experience with large dogs, medium dogs, tiny dogs- you name it! I’ve worked with puppies to seniors. I can’t wait to help take care of your furry friends! I’m currently attending community college in Enfield during the week (except Friday’s) and spend the weekends with my parents and my sister in their summer home. When I’m not in class, I am taking care of my dogs by doing things like feeding them, brushing their teeth, brushing my long haired dog, and any other needs they might require. I have experience in dog training which includes basic commands, resource guarding, and crating. My female cocker spaniel was fully trained by me, and my male dog knows a few tricks.
“Jillian always takes such good care of our Peanut! She gives great updates and photos of our sweet girl when we are away and makes sure she is cared for, would recommend her highly to everyone!”
“I had an excellent experience with Jalah and couldn’t be happier with the care they provided. From the very beginning, she was punctual and arrived exactly at the scheduled time, which immediately gave me confidence and peace of mind. Jalah followed all of my instructions carefully and paid close attention to the details of my pet’s routine, which I truly appreciated. It’s clear she takes her responsibility seriously and genuinely care about the animals she look after. What stood out the most was their communication.Jalah kept me consistently updated, especially during my pet’s transition to being with someone new in my home. Those updates made a huge difference and reassured me that everything was going smoothly. Overall, I highly recommend Jalah to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and communicative. I would absolutely trust her again in the future!”
About: I have always had a pet dog and ever since I was a teenager, I’d dog-sit for family and neighbors. Since college, I’ve been pet-sitting ajd dog walking on a more professional level. I’ve babysat for a few hours, simply for a walk, but have also watched multiple high energy dogs for up to two weeks. I’ve cared for dogs under a year old and up to 13 years old. I’ve always loved dogs and find them very easy to get along with and care for no matter their size, age, or personality. I have also cared for kittens a few weeks old, senior cats, administering medication orally, grooming them if they have long hair etc. Cats have a very different energy than dogs but I enjoy taking care of them just as much as dogs. I am currently in between jobs so I have a lot of free time to care for other dogs, whether it is a short walk or a multi-hour play date, etc. I always follow whatever guidance I am provided by pet parents. This means if you are only comfortable with your dog on a leash or lead while in your yard, I strictly follow that. If there are specific commands to use, certain behavior to watch out for or discourage, particular toys or activities they enjoy, I always follow what information I am given and am always open and communicate well about any issues or concerns that might arise on my end.
About: I’ve grown up taking care of many household pets (dogs, cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, etc) I’ve taken care fully of my own kitties for the last 3 years and I’ve been walking/sitting my parents puppies since they were 8weeks old(they are now 6months old) I currently work part time, Sunday-Thursday for 5 hours a day. So I will have lots of free time to come walk and play with your fur babies! And I’m available pretty much every weekend, any time. I absolutely love caring for any and all household pets and will always make sure your baby is well taken care of and follow any safety instructions needed.
About: I have experience with all kinds of dogs of all sizes. I have owned 3 pitbulls so I for sure know how to handle dogs that size. I also have a park near my house that is very discrete where the dogs can come roam around. It is fenced and barely anyone ever goes to. I used to bring my dogs over there when I had them. I am available full time if needed. I work from home. I can do pick up & drop as well. Please let me know, it would be my pleasure! I care for the dog as if they are my own. I know animals can become family, just as mine have became family. I will go accordingly to your dogs schedules and make sure they have the best care.
“We couldn’t be happier with Alexandra! We needed a last-minute dog sitter for the 4th of July weekend, and she was absolutely amazing with our 10-year-old German Shepherd, Gus. She came by twice a day for drop-in visits and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Gus can sometimes take a little time to warm up to new people, but he quickly became comfortable with Alexandra, which says a lot about her calm, caring approach. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly treated Gus like he was her own. We loved receiving updates and knowing he was getting plenty of attention and care. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dependable, we highly recommend Alexandra. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs of my own my whole life and taken care of neighbors pets as well. I’ve done drop in visits and walks for neighbors dogs and cats while they were away. I currently have a dog of my own named Leo he’s a super sweet boxer lab mix who’s great with all animals and people. This summer I am free a lot and can make my schedule work around any drop ins and walks. I just need a day or two notice so I can plan around everything but I look forward to working with your pets. I love animals especially dogs. I’ve always been very kind to animals making sure they feel safe with me and know I want to care for them. I like to make sure dogs understand me and that can create some trust and build a good relationship.
“Brittany’s amazing and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my cats were in great care! She took the time to go out of her way and stop over for a meet and greet before we left which made me feel at ease. Great communication and sent pictures of our cats snuggling up. One of my cats is shy to warm up to new people but she truly is an animal whisperer and he was laying down right by her feet the second he met her! Thanks Brittany!”
About: I've had a passion for caring for animals ever since I can remember. I would often pet sit for friends and family and I quickly learned I wanted to spend my life working with animals. Fast forward to the present, I am a full-time pet sitter that keeps a special place in my heart for each and every four-legged friend I've been able to care for! Pet care is my full-time job, so your pet is my top priority! I am available every weekday, weekends, and most holidays. I am available for overnight stays and drop-in visits. Overnight stays allow your pet to have someone there all day and all night to get the love they need while you can't be there; and drop-in visits allow your pet to get the care they need at the times they are used to at a frequency you pick. Feel at ease knowing your pet is in the comfort of their own home able to carry out their normal routine- whatever feeding, potty, and walk times your furry friend is used to.
“Talia did a wonderful job taking care of my 4 y.o cat while I was out of town for a few days. My cat can be very skittish around new people but he became comfortable with her much faster than I anticipated, even allowing her to pet him! Talia is very kind, patient, and attentive to an animal's needs and comfort. She did a fantastic job of feeding him promptly, providing him attention and playtime when he needed it, and keeping his food area/litter area tidy. She is professional, prompt with communication, and it's clear she really enjoys caring for your animals. Thank you so much, Talia!!”
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.

We are new to the area and needed someone to drop in on our dog Beau. Liz was great. She came on time, made sure Beau was fed and let out and provided plenty of pictures of their time together! I will definitely be reaching out when we need some help with Beau again!
Mary is an amaaaaaaazing person and was extremely helpful with Bhairava. She was super flexible and always there to help, even with my last minute changes. She has been a great support for me and I am glad to have found her. I will definitely recommend her highly, and I look forward to having her take care of Bhairava again, soon!

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 Windsor Locks 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 Windsor Locks 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.

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

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.
