“We loved having Allie with our 2 small dogs while we were away for our 11 day vacation! We appreciated getting daily messages and photos of our pups having a great time. Our house and dogs were well cared for- it seems like they really miss having her here! She was able to work remotely and stay over with our dogs, which was perfect for their routine. They had their usual walks and play time, meal times, treats, etc. while she was staying with them. We had multiple deliveries, trash days and an interior painter visiting during our trip, and she managed all of that easily. We would definitely use her again!”
“Absolutely fantastic sitter! He took care of my two dogs from 9 AM to 10 PM and kept me completely at ease the entire day. He sent the absolute cutest photo updates constantly and maintained great communication. My dogs loved him and were in excellent hands. 10/10!”
About: I have a great, rambunctious 6-year-old Golden Retriever named Cobie, and previously had another wonderful, loving Golden Retriever named Max, who we cared for well into his old age--17! I have taken care of dogs for friends and family all throughout my life, and always shower them with all the love in the world! I am currently in graduate school, but I am available for late afternoons or evenings and nights during the week, and anytime during the weekend! I always ensure safety of the dog and the home, whether that be crates, blocking off parts of the house, and following set rules and routines. Just as important is love and gentleness, doing my best to build a dog's trust.
“I recently went away for 4 days and Laura watched my cat Felipe for me. As a first time cat owner and adopting Felipe almost 3 months ago, I was very nervous about leaving Felipe alone especially over night. Laura kept me updated the whole time, sent me pictures at every drop in to ease my worries and even did some extra drop ins to give him a little company. This was my first time using Laura as my cat sitter and she was absolutely amazing with Felipe. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby”
“Whitnee was great. So responsive and warm. She provided care during my wedding weekend and I couldn’t be more grateful for the help she provided so I could enjoy my special day!”
“I don’t have enough words to give Thea on how well she took care of my babies. I’ve never had anyone be so attentive and caring for their well being. Not once did I have to worry that my pets weren’t being taken care of for the week we were away. She even went above and beyond and bought a new pot for the plant that my crazy kittens broke. I won’t ever be using another sitter again. Thank you Thea!”
“Hailey took care of my adult large dog and my place for 2 weeks while I was away. She asked great thoughtful questions at our meet and greet and during the sit. I appreciated the cute photos she sent too.”
“Michele was amazing with my babies! I got multiple photos each day of them and they looked happy in every one. The house was exactly the way I left it and she was very easy to work with!!”
About: I've owned and cared for dogs ever since I was 12. I also have pet store experience, so I know about specific foods and treatments where they may be relevant. I am currently jobless, so I can head over for your dog pretty much any time. I take public transportation and Lyft to get around, hence the 3-day notice so I can plan for travel. I can walk and play with dogs for as short as 5 minutes, or as long as 60. I am willing to follow whatever guidelines the owners have for their pets.
“Sabrina and Daniel were awesome - super easy to communicate with, flexible when I needed to make a schedule change, and they sent the best ever photos of my pup along with their newsy daily updates. 5+ stars!”
“Nancy was a joy to work with from the moment I contacted her. She is very responsive when you contact her. We had a meetup with her so we could show have her meet our two dogs and she asked many questions about what the dogs needs were and liked, dislikes etc. while we were on our vacation, she updated us daily with pictures and and what the dogs were doing that day etc. It was very comforting to see photos of my dog, snuggling with her and enjoying their walks. When we returned home, our house was immaculate! Nothing out of place and everything clean as a whistle. I can’t say enough positive things about Nancy. Try her you’ll love her!”
About: My name is Allison, and I live in Litchfield with my two adorable dogs - Jackson, who is a 12-year-old Boston Terrier, and Mojo, who is a 12-year-old Boston Terrier/Pug mix. I have been providing pet care services for more than a decade now, and I take great pride in offering compassionate and loving care to all animals. It all started in 2010 when I launched my own Pet Sitting and Dog Walking business. Through this business, I have been able to offer pets superior care services in the comfort of their own homes. Five years ago, I decided to expand my knowledge and education on the canine mind, and I became a certified dog trainer. My training is focused on using positive reinforcement to improve the quality of life of both the four-legged fur babies and their two-legged parents. I would like to be able to share my love and compassion for animals with you and your fur babies. Wags, Allison My business is working with animals and as a dog trainer I love to enrich the lives of other animals in any way I can. Compassionate Canine Care is my goal with every animal. I believe in establishing a genuine connection with all the animals I train or take care of. Providing them with the best possible care is crucial to me, as it helps them lead a happy and healthy life for as long as they are with us.
“Jennifer was super great with our pups! She was responsive and communicative and sent photos of the dogs having fun :) We really appreciate her spending time to make sure they got a lot of exercise and socialization while we were away.”
About: I grew up being around dogs since I was a young girl. I also have a boxer mix that I rescued 7 years ago. She’s my best friend and we love relaxing at home and going to dog parks also! I have a lot of experience and the heart for taking care of fur babies! I am available all weekends for boarding/sitting/drop ins as I work full time during the week but I can also do drop-ins in the evening if needed Monday-Friday I have 1 fur baby of my own. She gets along great with other dogs/animals. I have a crate if you require/prefer that in certain situations.
“Another great experience with Kim! She cares so much for our dog. We got pictures and updates as well. Kim has stayed in our home with our dog many times. She is the best.”
“Ashley is a caring, knowledgeable, and fantastic dog sitter who went above and beyond in her care for my older dog with joint problems. She was always available to provide updates and regularly sent photographs of their walks. From the moment she met Max, she was highly attune to his needs and focused on supporting him. I highly recommend her as a dog 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 Woodtick 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 Woodtick 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 Woodtick 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!

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 .

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.
