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.
“Tara is so professional and reliable. Her warm personality comes shining through. This is the second time Tara looked after our very shy cat, Charlie. We came home to happy cat. Charlie's space was tidy and clean. My husband and I have every confidence in Tara. We cannot say enough positive comments about her. We will ask for Tara every time we go away.”
“Katie took such good care of my kitties! She stopped in prior to our scheduled pet sitting to meet my cats, which was much appreciated. She did everything I asked, and made an effort to give my kitties some playtime, even though they were being shy. She provided lots of pics and feedback after each visit, which I love to see, as I worry about my girls when I can’t be home with them. We will definitely be using her services again! ?”
“Caroline is great! She is friendly, takes great care of our dog, doesn’t leave any mess, and is super responsive to messages! We will definitely continue to use her to take care of our pets 😊”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for people my whole life. From shitzu’s, to lab mixes. I also have two rescues of my own who I’ve worked very hard with to make comfortable and feel loved after there trauma. I am currently a full time teacher so I’m available mostly weekends. Come summer time, other than a part time job I’ll be available often. I have two high energy dogs who love to play. We do not have a fenced in yard, but it is large with woods all around. We also have a lead set up for dogs who are a flight risk.
“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’ve taken care of dogs on and off for years and I’ve had a couple of my own. Would be happy to host your pet for a day or a few days, whatever your need is. I am fully retired at this time and will have plenty of time to play with and care for your pet. I am available weekdays and nights as well as some weekends. I am also available to watch them at your house as well if you’d prefer. I am happy to follow your feeding schedule and to take your pet for a daily walk. There are no young children or anyone else living in the house except me.
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.
“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.”
About: With over four years of experience working with dogs, I understand what it takes to keep them happy, safe, and well-cared for. I spent a year working under a professional dog trainer who also boarded dogs, which gave me valuable insight into dog behavior, training, and care. Beyond that, I’ve grown up caring for dogs—taking them on daily walks, making vet trips, and ensuring they get the love and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own, providing them with the care and companionship they need while you're away! As a university student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I can accommodate your pet’s needs while ensuring they get the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your furry friend will always be a priority in my routine! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I provide attentive care in their home, following all instructions. Unfortunately, I cannot offer at-home services due to accommodation regulations.

About: I have had dogs my whole life but 2 of my dogs gave birth to 11 puppies in October of 2022 and I helped take care of them all until they were ready to go to their new homes. I kept one of the puppies and have taken care of her since she was a newborn so I am very familiar around all types of dogs. I’m currently available most weekdays and weekends.

About: Hi everyone, I’m Amanda! Currently a stay at home mom raising my 5 and 6 year old human children, and my 7year old mix and crazy kitten! We’re all avid hikers and nature lovers, being outside is our absolute favorite! I grew up having dogs, mostly mixes and rescues, so I know how to gently approach pets that may have trust issues or who may be shy. With our mix having husky in her, I know all about high energy and how to get them relaxed and sleepy! Walking, running, and hiking are what we use to personally exercise our dogs so I can make sure whatever works best for your pup is what we’ll do! If needed I can be open to at home boarding, but I would first need to be sure they’d get along with my dogs :) Thank you for reading! I'm currently home full time with my kids in school, so I'm available from 9A - 2P (depending on distance) and after 5 during the week, as needed on the weekends.

“RaeLynn has been such a blessing. Tribe has major anxiety due to trauma he suffered as a puppy, As a result he requires a lot of patience and honestly he just needed someone to see the sweet and loving boy that he truly is. I was really nervous to try rover, but reading RaeLynns profile I felt confident that my baby would be in good hands given her experience and training. And I was absolutely right. We ran into a few bumps along the way but through each step Tribe was treated with patient understanding, love and kindness. I am so grateful and will 100% be contacting RaeLynn for our future sitter needs. Thank you so much”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Winsted stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Winsted 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.

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.

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.
