“Marley came through in a pinch for me and my little guy when I needed a relatively last-minute booking and performed beyond my expectations. She is professional, personable, communicative, and flexible. And more than that she takes very good care of her precious charges. Thanks again, Marley!”

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.

“Kimberly is a great pet sitter! She is friendly, kind, and caring. She cares for the animals like one of her own, and has a great attention to detail. She’s also very communicative and responsible. One of my cats who she took care of is particularly shy and usually hides from the pet sitters, but with Kimberly, my shy cat Beans came right out. A testament of Kimberly’s skills as a pet sitter. 🩷🐱”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid. I love them and have a lot of patience for them. I’ve taken care of calm dogs and energetic dogs!!! They are guaranteed to be walked at least 3 times a day. We have a HUGE fenced yard where your pet can run wild!! My family will be helping out so they will never be alone for long :) We have 3 carers so your fur babies won't be left alone for long. We all take shifts so it's easy for us to make sure all pets are attended to throughout the day. If they are able to, we make sure to work them out by playing fetch until they get tired! If they are not potty trained we will give them diapers in between potty breaks to minimize accidents in home. We have a lot of toys for them to destroy so they don’t destroy furniture. We take away any possible toxic and choking hazard away from the area they will be sleeping/chilling. We also make sure they all have access to water all day.

About: I’ve grown up with animals of all kinds from as early as I can remember. Being the oldest of my siblings I was the first to have to take on the pet care chores, and this included both our dogs and our cats, and the other types of animals we had in our household. I have pet care experience with dogs and cats, as well as other pets too. When I moved out on my own with my previous partner (2012-2017) we had adopted three rescued cats, and I was the main administer of the diabetic cat’s insulin and late IV fluid treatments. My ex kept our cats in the split, but in 2018 I adopted my first dog completely on my own. She’s a rescue pit bull mix and now, with my current husband, she is joined by another rescued pit bull mix and a rescued cat. Last year we also adopted a red ear slider turtle off the street in Philadelphia and he now enjoys his aquatic terrarium with his guppy and pleco friends. In 2023 I briefly worked for a dog walking company in Ridgefield and was bit by one of the client’s dogs, unprovoked, and because of that I left the service after being blamed for the outburst and attack (despite telling the owners and the employer that the dog was getting increasingly aggressive with me and I wasn’t comfortable walking him anymore). It was the only time I had ever had an animal turn on me like that and it made me rethink working for a service where I wasn’t listened to or given proper protection. My husband and I have been Rover clients since we moved to Connecticut in 2023 and I am very happy to say we have never had a negative experience, which is why I have decided to lend my services to other pets and families in the area that are in need of an experienced pet caretaker. I am a professional actor so I have days that are marked off for auditions and work or rehearsals, however it is not a consistent time or place. I work throughout the Northeast, NYC, and the Mid Atlantic currently with my acting opportunities, but I am also open to short term travel as well. Because of that, my availability is very open some weeks and not as much on others, depending on what projects I am currently involved in and what the scheduling is like. I would love to spend more time your pets in my downtime and give them the attention they require, since mine are pretty saturated in it regularly. I have two dogs, which are extremely friendly and love other dogs, people, and cats! Our cat is very aloof so they wouldn’t be seen much in cases where pet sitting at my home is needed. Our yard is not fenced in but I am very accustomed to taking them out for walks, or having them leashed under my supervision in our yard. Because I live in Newtown, there are plenty of places to get some quality walks in, and we are also not far from open public dog parks either if that suits your furry friend! I also have my own car which I am more than comfortable transporting your pet in or coming to you for check ins or walks. Our dogs are up to date on vaccines so that is not a worry either, and I am diligent in making sure everyone has a great time when their friends (and our human friends) are over too!

“Jay is a very personable and responsible person who endeared him self seamlessly to our cats and dog with his calm and attentive approach. We were very comfortable leaving them in his care. Jay kept us updated on his drop ins, followed our protocol when a storm was approaching, setting our pup up to be comfortable despite his storm anxiety. My pets were very relaxed and happy on our return. Our senior dog was checking our front door anticipating Jay's arrival the first morning we were home, a clear indication that he very much enjoyed his visits. We highly recommend Jay.”

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.

I’m currently a proud dog and cat owner, so I understand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to have someone trustworthy care for them.

I’m responsible, dependable, and attentive, and I’ll make sure your pet gets the care, attention, exercise, and affection they need while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and will treat your animals like they’re my own. I’m a single stay at home mom, so I have lots of time to care for and walk your beloved pets ! I drop my kids at school in the mornings and pick them up in the afternoon, so my availability is very flexible ! I’ve loved and cared for pets my whole life! I grew up with dogs, cats, and just about every caged animal you can think of. I currently have a 3-year-old Maltipoo and a 5-year-old cat, so I understand how much our pets mean to us!

About: I’m a registered nurse from Colombia and a lifelong animal lover. Back home, I have a wonderful Bull Terrier who has been my loyal companion for 9 years. He still lives in Colombia with my sister, where he is well cared for and deeply loved. Since moving to the U.S. four years ago, I’ve continued sharing my love for animals by caring for cats, dogs, and even birds. I’m patient, responsible, and very caring. I truly enjoy spending time with pets taking them for walks, feeding them, playing with them, or simply keeping them company so they feel happy and safe while their owners are away. I can also help with light household tasks, such as watering plants or bringing in packages. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, gentle, and attentive to care for your pet, I would love to help! Hope to meet you and your pet soon, Milena T. As a part-time worker, I organize my schedule to have flexible hours during mornings and afternoons. Caring for pets fits naturally into my weekly routine — I enjoy taking walks, feeding, and spending quality time with them every day. Their well-being becomes part of my own daily rhythm. When caring for pets, I make sure they feel calm, safe, and loved. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep their space clean, and pay close attention to their behavior. Whether at my home or the client’s, I create a peaceful and trustworthy environment where pets can relax and feel happy.

About: I have grown so fond of taking care of fur babies the more years I do it. I enjoy working with all different breeds and building a connection to the pets I take care of. I’ve learn to work with all ages, breeds, behaviors. The best part? Knowing that people entrust me to bring their fur babies back to me, and knowing that the dogs are excited to return. I have a part time job currently so I have plenty of time to be with your pet(s) whenever I’m not at work, so it’s flexible. I like to thoroughly ask questions about the dog I’ll be taking care of (food, any medications? Exercise? Do they like to play? Etc.) I want to make sure not only yourself but the dog is as comfortable as can be.

Caitlin has been absolutely fantastic taking care of our cat June. June can be a bit shy around new people but instantly warmed up to Caitlin and was totally comfortable and happy.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Bridgeport

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Bridgeport on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 4,048 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bridgeport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bridgeport stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bridgeport. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
