“Alex did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs! They were happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable in her care. She provided regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, the house was spotless when we returned, and she even took the time to bring in our mail and packages. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—highly recommended!”

About: Responsible, caring, and dependable pet caregiver and proud dog mom with experience providing loving care, walks, feeding, and companionship. I am CPR certified and work as a medical assistant, so safety and attention to detail are very important to me. I treat every pet like family and always provide reliable communication and care. I currently work full time during the week, but I am available on weekends for dog walking and pet sitting. I have flexible availability on Saturdays and Sundays and can accommodate different times as needed I treat all pets as if they were my own. I give them the care and attention they need. I am trustworthy, loving and caring.
“Gloria was fantastic! She took care of our puppy and cats like her own and sent us tons of picture updates which made us feel so much better being away from home. You can tell she really cares ❤️”
About: I've taken care of a neighbors dog by giving them walks, playtime, and monitoring their water and food while the family was on vacation. I'm a college student and will be back in late May from school and will be in Fairfield CT until early August when I go back to school. However I'll be back for the holidays and will update my schedule for hiw long I'm staying. I plan to take care of pets in clients home by finding g a time to meet with the owners to discuss if there are any specifics their pet may need. This would also be a good time to learn more about the clients and what their expectations are. As well as taking time to be around the pet for some time before the initial job begins, for each new client.
“Destiny was fantastic! She accepted our request on short notice and was amazing with our new puppy and older cat. She was very communicative, responsive and sent lots of pictures. We will definitely reach out to her again and recommend her highly!”
“Booked Alondra for the second and third time to take care of Nuve and as always she did a phenomenonal job. Thanks so much Alondra!! I feel safe leaving my babygirl in your hands. She loved her walks and I appreciated the updates throughout the day.”
“Alex was great! He made my dog Lady feel very comfortable right from the start. He was very attentive to her. I received constant updates on Lady and pictures. I will absolutely be using Alex again sometime soon.”
About: I’ve had and watched lots of different pets. I own two large rescue dogs, and have watched many others. I’ve also cared for small dogs like Yorkers and bichons as well. I have owned 3 cats so I have experience with cats as well. I don’t know anything about caring for bunnies, rodents or reptiles. I work part time. My days off are Mondays, Wednesdays and every other Sunday. I am happy to do overnights within a 30min drive from Trumbull, CT. Tues 2-8pm Thurs 10-4 Friday 10-4 Saturday 10-3 Every other Sunday 10-2 I offer in-home care, walks around the park or local neighborhood, hikes, and/or play time in the yard. I prefer not to bring your pets into my own home as my dogs don’t always like having other animals visiting.
“Oscar is so responsible and is a hard worker. He shows up on time and will text and communicate and follow thru on your instructions. I highly recommend him. My grand dog Koda was very comfortable with him in the house.”
“We had a great experience with Alexis this past weekend! She was friendly, reliable, and communicated with us consistently throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was clearly well cared for and happy when we returned, and it was reassuring to know our home was also in good hands. Everything was just as we left it. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
“Alex did such a great job taking care of our pets! She watched our beagle who is 11 and has anxiety and hearing loss and did a great job taking care of her needs. We have 2 cats that she took equally good care of. She sent pics and gave updates, great communication. Alex is very friendly and reliable. We are so happy we left our pets in good hands and would definitely love for her to sit for them again!”
About: I have provided pet sitting services to friends and family and now i'm offering my services on rover. As a pet sitter I will do the best I can to make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and always tail waging. I currently have everyday available to spend time with your fur babies. I have two kids that I drop off and pick off from school Mon-Fri. I have a 5 year old tabby cat who likes to spend time in her room when doggies are around so it's an easy fix if your cat isn't cat friendly. I also have a fenced yard for your dogs to play in. My two kids love all animals, and are eager to help out if possible.
“Our first and certainly (hopefully!) not last experience with Claire was wonderful in every way. From start to finish, she was polite, friendly, communicative, and responsive. She went out of her way to make sure our senior pup got the exercise and special attention she needed during our week away from home and provided regular and thorough updates. Any pup would be incredibly lucky to be in her company and care.”
About: Im comfortable working with friendly dogs of different ages, including puppies who need extra attention and older dogs who may need a slower, more gentle approach. Plus, my dog is very friendly and enjoys the company, which can help other dogs feel more comfortable and social. I’m currently in school for ultrasound, so with my full-time schedule, I’ve been looking for a flexible way to earn some extra income. I really enjoy walking my dog, and I’m interested in turning that into a small business to help others who need dog walking services while also building connections with other dogs. My dog is very friendly and would definitely enjoy the extra company. I care for pets in both my home and my client’s home, depending on the service. I make sure they have a safe, clean space, follow their feeding and walking routines, and give them plenty of attention. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep their pet comfortable and cared for.
About: I work at a doggy day care, and spend over 25 hours every week there. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and believe every dog deserves all the love and care they can get. I work part-time with dogs, so pet care naturally fits into my schedule. I’m used to early mornings, mid-day breaks and evening cuddle sessions. I’m happy to fit my schedule around your pets needs. I make sure they are always supervised, comfortable, and in a secure environment. I follow any special instructions provided and I’m used to keeping dogs happy, healthy, and stress-free! With lots of love and care included!
About: About Me Hi! My name is Martin. I recently graduated from Fairfield Prep and will be attending Penn State University this fall. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and currently have a Black Labrador of my own, which has given me years of hands-on experience caring for, exercising, feeding, and understanding dogs of all personalities and energy levels. Friends, family members, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs while they travel, work, or need an extra hand. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, playtime, feeding, or simply making sure a dog feels comfortable and safe, I take that responsibility seriously. As a very active person, I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors and making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and companionship they need. My goal is not just to watch your dog, but to make them feel happy, comfortable, and at home while you’re away. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust. That’s why I prioritize communication, reliability, and providing regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident your dog is being well cared for. Every dog is treated like family, and I will care for your pet with the same attention and respect that I give my own. I work weekdays from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, which allows me to dedicate the rest of my day to pet care, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. On weekends, I have full availability and can provide flexible care throughout the day. I am also available for overnight stays and house sitting, and I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routines so they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I respond quickly, communicate clearly, and provide regular photo and video updates for peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing proper exercise, and creating a calm, positive environment. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, and owner preferences. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, I treat every animal as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, supervision, affection, and exercise. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication throughout every stay so you always know your pet is happy and doing well.
“Hannah was amazing! She responded any time I contacted her, was punctual when meeting the dogs for the meet and greet, and during her stay she sent photos and kept me apprised of how the dogs were doing. I have a very elderly high-maintenance dog, and she handled him with grace and compassion. She truly went above and beyond to make them comfortable and less anxious. She is welcome in my home anytime!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Bridgeport is $65

Samantha is amazing! She's very responsive, attentive, and took great care of our puppy, Gracie. She asks questions and makes sure she understands how best to take care your pet. We knew we were leaving Gracie in very capable hands. It was also clear how much Gracie loved her time with Sam!
Our first and certainly (hopefully!) not last experience with Claire was wonderful in every way. From start to finish, she was polite, friendly, communicative, and responsive. She went out of her way to make sure our senior pup got the exercise and special attention she needed during our week away from home and provided regular and thorough updates. Any pup would be incredibly lucky to be in her company and care.
Alondra took care of our special needs dog for a week and we couldn’t have asked for better care. She sent us lots of photos, which we loved, and followed the medication plan perfectly. Our dog was happy and healthy in her care. we will definitely be hiring her again.
Katie was amazing with our highly active Australian shepherd and senior cat. She their food and medications instructions perfectly and took our dog on long walks every morning. She is punctual and super tidy, leaving our house just as we had left it. It’s obvious that she truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel cared for when their families are away!
Caitlin was a perfect sitter! Pictures, movies, reports, all I needed to be sure my girl was safe and happy. Caitlin was very accommodating, doing little extras I needed done for the impending snowstorm. She was also very flexible about changing dates. Highly recommend!!
Anhelina is an angel!! she took the absolute best care of my kitties overnight, including one who was a little ill. I felt completely at ease from the moment I met her and thru her whole stay and will use her again without hesitation. i’ve been using Rover for years and have been lucky to find some wonderful pet sitters, and Anhelina is right up there. I highly recommend her to you.
Marley did a fantastic job with both my dogs! She is very attentive to the specific details per dog, per personality, habits and all! They had a nice time with Marley, she had a calming effect on both of them! I highly recommend Marley for both dog and cat sitting!
Cece is the best! Her love for cats is genuine and I didn’t worry at all about my 2 cats while I was away. She took such good care of them, and one of them is diabetic and needs insulin twice a day, so not always easy. I highly recommend Cece and will definitely book with her again!
Josephine was amazing with Bentley!! She kept me updated with pictures throughout the day and always responded quickly. She even brought him a new lamb chop (his favorite) and squeaky toys which I thought was the sweetest touch! My dog got stung by a bee and was really spooked/uncomfortable. She stayed with him and kept me in the loop the whole time. It really gave me peace of mind knowing he was with someone who truly cared!! I’d absolutely recommend Josephine and will definitely be using her again! Bentley loved her!
Chloe was fantastic! She looked after our dog and two cats during our international move from the UK to the US, including being there when they arrived before us. Her communication was excellent throughout, and we felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such good hands. Highly recommended!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bridgeport
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bridgeport on Rover is $48.42 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,555 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bridgeport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Bridgeport 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 Bridgeport 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.
Tip: 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 Bridgeport 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.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bridgeport. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
