“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!”

“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 ❤️”

“Alex was incredible. She just gets it!Great with four dogs who never missed a beat with Alex. Alex stayed three nights and left the house impeccable. She graciously agreed to vacuum and pick up poop in the back yard. We came home to a house that looked as good as when we left. Thank you, Alex!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs in many ways, including: dog walking, play dates with other dogs, overnight dog sitting when the family is traveling and need help to stay with the dog those days they are away from home, or sometimes I have the authorization to bring them to my house, and daytime care. Through those years taking care of dogs I had a privilege to take care of 3/4 dogs at the same time, providing individualized attention and care to each furry companion. Dedicated to providing love and affection, I ensure that every dog in my care receives utmost comfort and attention. Prioritizing your dog's happiness and safety, our time together includes enjoyable walks in the park, fun playdates with other pups, and plenty of cuddles. Rest assured, your furry friend will always be in capable and caring hands with me. I'm currently working part-time, having time to dedicate to the dogs under my care. I prioritize their well-being by scheduling regular walks, play sessions, and ensuring they receive the attention they need throughout the day. I adjust my schedule to fit their needs, whether it's taking them for walks in the morning before I start work, checking in on them during the day, or spending quality time cuddling with them in the evening. Taking care of these furry friends isn't just a duty for me, it's a source of joy and fulfillment that enriches my daily life. In my house, I provide secure, worry-free environment for your beloved pets. I have a medium fenced backyard where I can take the dog to go potty and a great and friendly dog neighbor. My priority is to give the pet attention and make sure they will have love, and protection the whole stay!
“Kim did a fabulous job house sitting for our cat. She gave her lots of love and attention and took great care of her. I was very relaxed while away knowing that our Bunny cat was in good and reliable hands!”

“Alondra did such a good job taking care of my baby Nuve. I truly appreciate her flexibility in working with my schedule and keeping me updated all day throughout with pictures and messages. Being in a new town for vacation it was important for me to be updated and she gave me peace of mind. Definitely recommend Alondra. 👌”

“Rose was amazing with Oreo! So attentive and loving, with a strong attention to detail. We did not have any worries while we were away for a week with Rose in charge. In addition to taking such good care of Oreo, she also took great care of our home. We would highly recommend Rose.”


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.

“Alex was awesome housesitting for us and our two rescues. He was accommodating and has a soothing way about him which is great for the dogs. He administered pills and even hand fed our fussy girl. We are definitely using him again … if he will have us!”

“Lindsay is amazing with my two dogs! They are deaf which is a challenge in itself and Lindsay handles them with ease! She’s very communicative and the girls seem to love her. Would recommend Lindsay for your next booking.”

“I absolutely appreciate how such good care she took of my dog , My dog is normally bad behaved and he behaved amazingly for her. He was walked 3-4 times a day , every thing went according to plan and everything went smoothly. I plan on booking her once 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.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid. I love dogs and can't wait to have my own one day. I have dog-sat for both family and friends and always treated the dogs like my own. I will always go above and beyond to ensure their needs are met and to show them love and care. I am currently an undergraduate student. Other than classes, which normally do not take up more than two hours of my day, my schedule is flexible to spend time with your dog! I am also available on most weekends! I will ensure that your dog is well cared for in their home. This includes regular walks, following a feeding schedule, time to play, and other specific needs they might have. I always follow the rules set out by the owner!

“Hannah was fantastic! We have an elderly, small dog who is always anxious around new people, but somehow she warmed up to Hannah immediately. Hannah did her oral and eye medication daily without difficulty, and kept in great communication with us throughout the whole stay. We will definitely be asking Hannah to dog sit in the future!”

“Destiny was terrific! I had a last minute work trip and needed extended care for my cat. She was extremely accommodating and took wonderful care of him. He took to her immediately which is rare for him. Destiny was extremely flexible as plans changed due to a blizzard that impacted the area. She followed all instructions for the cat and treated my place like it was her own — it was spotless when I got back. Thank you, Destiny!”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, I helped care for my family’s Shih Tzu, Kelly, who lived a long life and gave me experience caring for an older dog and understanding the extra patience and attention senior pets need. More recently, I had my Frenchie, Tyson, who recently passed away. We spent so much time together going on daily 3-mile walks, cuddling, playing, and simply enjoying each other’s company. Caring for him taught me how important consistency, love, patience, and attentiveness are when it comes to pets. What sets me apart is the genuine care and connection I build with animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them with the same love, comfort, and attention I gave my own dogs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just calm companionship, I’m happy to adapt to their personality and routine. I’ve always had a dog in my life, and I truly enjoy the companionship, activity, and happiness they bring every day. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time with dogs. I’m available every morning for walks and again after 5:30 PM for afternoon/evening walks. I love starting the day with long walks and giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I’m also available for boarding on Fridays through Sundays. On weekends, I enjoy spending extra time with pups, whether that’s relaxing together, grabbing a pup cup, or visiting the dog park if that’s something your dog enjoys! I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. In my home, pets will have lots of attention, supervised outdoor time, and space to relax. We have a small fenced-in yard, and I love spending time outside with dogs for fresh air, playtime, and walks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m happy to follow their normal routine and any instructions they provide to help their pet feel comfortable and secure. If crating is part of their routine, I’m comfortable using a crate both in my home or the client’s home when needed. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I always try to make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while in my care
About: I have been surrounded by animals for most of my life and truly believe they are some of the most loyal and loving companions. I currently have a 16-year-old Papillon, and I was blessed to have my Pit Bull for 13 wonderful years before she passed away last year. Caring for senior dogs has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of providing gentle, loving care. I also have experience caring for my sister’s two Bengal cats, whom I lived with and helped care for over the course of two years. This has given me experience with both dogs and cats and an understanding that every pet has a unique personality and needs. In addition, I worked at Dogtopia, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. That experience strengthened my ability to multitask, remain calm in busy environments, and ensure every dog received the attention, affection, and care they deserved. During the school year, I work as a substitute teacher, which gives me a flexible schedule. I adapt quickly to new routines and understand how important it is for pet owners to know their furry family members are in safe, caring hands. When caring for your pets, I will treat them as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, respect, and lots of love. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, cuddling on the couch, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make them feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect that I would expect for my own. I’m a substitute teacher during the school year, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to make time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. My day usually starts at 5:30am or 6:00am and ends by 4pm, with my weekends being free and many holidays off. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions exactly as provided to ensure their routine stays consistent and stress-free. I’m very neat, organized, and respectful of the home, and I always treat it as if it were my own. I make sure doors and gates are securely closed at all times, keep a close eye on pets when they’re outside, and stay alert for any wildlife or other potential hazards. My goal is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy while maintaining a clean and well-cared-for home environment.
“Valeria stayed with our Chancey for a full week. She sent frequent updates of their walks and play together. Apart from taking such great care of Chance, she communicated very well when there was an issue with our ACs. She also went above and beyond to ensure we returned to a tidy house. Thank you Valeria, we are lucky that we can count on you with our fur baby 🐕.”

Sam is an amazing pet sitter! She updated me daily with lots of photos and videos. Knowing she was taking care of my pup I wasn’t anxious at all leaving her behind. She followed directions beautifully and she’s a very clean person, you could barely tell she was at my house for 4 days. I will 1000000% contact her for my next vacation. Thank you again Sam!

Hillary did a great job taking care of Mipha while we were away. She was communicative throughout the entire stay, keeping us updated and giving us total peace of mind. We came back to a happy, well-cared-for pet, and the house was left in great shape. We would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

HIGHLY recommend Alondra for looking after your pets!! We booked her to look after our two cats and a dog (and our home) for 10 days while we were out of the country and couldn't be happier with how well she cared for our animals and respected our home. We'd never had someone stay in our home to look after the animals before, so we were very nervous, but Alondra immediately put our minds at ease when we met her. We could tell straight away that she adores animals and cares for them deeply. She was extremely gracious with her time, providing a thorough meet and greet at our home before we booked, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the whole booking. If you're looking for someone to look after your pets, look no further - you've found them! Hit that "book now" button. Thank you, Alondra! We'll be in touch again soon! - Paul & Cait

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.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bridgeport on Rover is $51.13 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,521 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:
- 89% 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.
