“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!”
“She stayed at my house and took care of my dog she did a fantastic job! I am so pleased with her! She made sure she didn’t leave a mess in my house and took pictures of the dog all the time it was great I am so pleased I would definitely use her again”
About: I’ve taken care of Cats and Dogs growing up. Some of my best memories came from my Yorkie-Terrior named Billy and Beagle named Ruby. Bonding with your pets is such an invaluable experience that can be life-changing for all those involved. Currently between jobs, searching for part time work. I’ll have loads of time to provide quality care for your precious pets. I’m available for House Sitting, Drop-In/Out visits and Walks. :) I follow instructions listed by each client to the T. I take my time to read carefully written instructions. I may ask for clarification on any request, solely to ensure I know the best way to properly look after, walk and take care of each pet, (family member,) as if they were my own.
“Alex was great. First time using her and everything was great and the dogs liked her! She took them out for walks, potty breaks, and was great to them. She stayed over at our house and everything was perfect. I would use her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for and dog-sitting for family, neighbors, and friends for over 10 years, including paid pet-sitting. I have experience with both small and large dogs with different personalities and love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and making sure they feel comfortable. I currently work as a private basketball coach, so I have plenty of availability during the day to hang out, play, and go for walks. I’m also available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting on weekends. I provide attentive, reliable, and personalized care in your pet’s home and during walks or drop-in visits. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while giving them plenty of one-on-one attention, exercise, and affection. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Thank you for taking such good care of Trapper...and for taking out the garbage and putting the sheets in the wash. I sure hope you didn't give Trapper your address as he most definitely would try to follow you home. I can't remember the last time he had so much fun and loving.”

“Gloria took perfect care of my pups Drake and Nylah. Nylah is 10 months old and still adjusting to the house but Gloria was sweet and made sure she was comfortable and of course Drake adored her! Can’t wait to book her again!”
“Rose did an excellent job house sitting our dog while we were away for the weekend. She is great at communicating and sending updates on how everything is going. Rose always leaves the house clean and the dog happy! Thanks Rose!”
“Alex did a great job, staying with Meir for a full week. He kept us updated every day and sent photos. Alex is a nice, responsible guy and we thank him very much for his wonderful job. Thank you Alex!”
“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!”
“Hannah was super sweet and took great care of our pup! Communication was excellent throughout, and we felt very comfortable leaving him with her. We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“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!”
“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.”
About: Having an anxious & very needy dog myself, I’ve been in the position where I’ve had to vet (no pun intended) boarding facilities and dog sitters. Unfortunately, each time I’ve left with sub-par experiences. For me, when I part with my pup, a place for them to stay is bare minimum! I want my baby to have their own vacation! I want them to be attended to with the best of care. Think: All inclusive spa resort but for your furry friend. At this Doggy Oasis, there is endless enrichment, attention, play, and pampering for them, so that you can have the peace of mind you’ve been looking for. I am a part-time student taking classes locally on weekends. To afford school, I am looking to start a small dog boarding business. This leaves my week open, and ready for your pup! Lucky for your pooch, I keep a very clean, tidy & "dog proofed" home. 🐕 All human food hidden. 🐕Back yard fenced in. 🐕My dog will always be there and he is very well behaved with other dogs.
About: Having raised a young, active dog, I’m very comfortable managing high energy, playful routines, and keeping dogs entertained and happy. I understand how essential structured play, regular exercise, and gentle guidance are for younger or spunky pets. You can count on me to give your dog plenty of physical activity, mental stimulation, and lots of cozy affection so they feel right at home! I am a junior at Fairfield University, so I am available whenever I don’t have class and am not doing school work! I am a certified animal-lover and I would love to help make your pet comfortable and happy. As a student and a dog owner, I understand the importance of having a trusted caretaker to help ease your mind when you have to be away from home. Safety and personalized care are my top priorities. I have direct experience caring for a dog with IMHA (Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia), so I am very comfortable and experienced with strict medication schedules, monitoring subtle health or behavior changes, and following precise care instructions. I create a safe, low-stress environment with appropriate enrichment suited to your dog's specific energy levels and medical needs.
About: My name is Katiana Thoby and I have been dog sitting since 2017. I am able to watch your cute pets any time of the week (unless the day is marked off)! You will love my patience, kindness, and affection towards the dog. I've watched my friends' dogs before and learned how to work with them and take care of them properly. I enjoyed playing some games like fetch and running around with them. Since my parents don't like animals, I can't have my own dog. When I have my own house, I want a dog of my own so this will be a good experience for me. Thank you and I hope to work with you soon.. I am currently working full time so I will be available to dog sit on the weekends or tuesdays after 5:30pm! Just let me know in advance and I can open a booking for you. I will be available on some holidays but I will let you know in advance! Please make sure to book at least two days in advance. That way, I can make sure I don’t have any other appointments that day. I may accommodate some last minute bookings if I am available the whole stay period. Most of the time, they stay indoors and I attend to them as much as possible! They will be fed on the times provided and well taken care of! If you would like me to provide a bath as well, please let me know. I love playing with them so I usually bring your pets to the park as long as the owner is okay with it (also provides a leash)!
“Oscar stayed at our home for five nights while we were away. He was respectful of our house, reliable, and took good care of our dog. Our dog enjoyed spending time with him, and we returned home to a relaxed and happy pet.”
“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.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Bridgeport is $65

Caitlin took excellent care of our baby while we were on vacation. She updated us every day with photos and videos and we could tell that Luna was having a great time. Caitlin also cleaned our apartment (which she did not have to do) so when we got back we could relax. I highly recommend Caitlin for all of your pet sitting and walking needs. She is an absolute pro and we feel so lucky to have found her!
I can't say enough good things about Destiny. We were gone for nearly a week and Destiny's communication and care for our dog, Sydney was wonderful. Daily, sometimes more, updates, pictures, videos and always information about what was happening. The peace of mind knowing that our pet was being well-cared for is priceless. She took amazing care of our house and when we arrived, it was spotless. You'd never know anyone was there. Do yourself a favor and if you need to leave your pet or your house, book Destiny!
Leonne was absolutely amazing with our dog, Meelo, for an overnight sit. She was extremely professional, communicative and clearly has a deep love for animals. My dog is large and high energy and she seemed confortable and confident. I came back to a very happy pup and a home exactly as I left it. I would not hesitate to reach out to Leonne again for a future sit!
Hillary took amazing care of our two dogs for a week and a half while we were on our honeymoon, and we’re so lucky to have her. She is extremely communicative, thoughtful, and caring to our dogs. She leaves no stone unturned and always follows care instructions.
We were extremely satisfied with Sam’s care of our 15-month-old Chihuahua, Max. He is very active and requires a lot of attention, and I left Sam with quite a few notes about his care, including administering his ear drops. She followed everything perfectly and took excellent care of him while staying in our home. Sam was responsible, attentive, and clearly wonderful with Max. She also left our home absolutely spotless, which we really appreciated. We will definitely be rebooking her services and highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring 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!
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!

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.
<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 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
