“Marina was wonderful! She was quick to respond to our booking request and was able to step up and help us out for a last minute booking. She went above and beyond for our pups. Our male Pit can be very standoffish when it comes to meeting new people and Marina had him on her lap and snuggling in no time. We will gladly book with her again!”
“I feel so lucky that we found Hannah! She is caring, patient, and so loving with my puppy. I know he will always be safe and spoiled when he is with Hannah so we will definitely be booking with her again.”

About: I’ve cared for many different kinds of animals since I was young, from dogs and cats to reptiles, birds, and rodents. I have experience understanding and providing for the unique needs of different animals, including feeding routines, handling, enrichment, and daily care. I also have a lizard of my own at home, which has given me hands-on experience with reptile care. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals. I treat every pet like my own and want to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. As a college student, I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I am not currently working another job, but I am looking for potential job opportunities, so my schedule is flexible and I can plan around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for regular visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule when needed. I’m dependable and will make sure your pets receive the care, attention, and love they need while you’re away I have a new house that doesn’t allow furry animals, but I do have a bearded dragon that I care for at home. Because I’m unable to have furry pets in my own home, I’m happy to care for them in their own environment where they feel most comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I would treat them like my own, follow their normal routines and care instructions, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, love, and companionship. I would also be respectful of your home and make sure everything is left just as I found it.
“Jennifer and John were such a blessing, on a seriously last minute booking! They were so responsive, made time in the less than 24 hour notice request to come over to meet our dogs. They were thorough in explaining the care they provide and very personable! As I was so nervous letting people I’d never met stay in our home they were reassuring and attentive to my multiple questions. While away, they sent many updates and pictures, again so reassuring to me! They also are so neat and tidy and took such good care of our home cleaning up after themselves, the dogs as well as washing the linens! Would absolutely recommend!! Thank you Jennifer and John!”

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!

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 .
