“Allison was amazing!! We hired her to drop in and take care of our pet cat and she did such a great job. She set up a meet and greet to get to know our cat first, and I could tell by the questions that she was asking that she truly cares about animals. Even our skittish cat took to her right away. We felt such peace of mind knowing Allison would be caring for her while we were gone. 5 stars, would definitely book her again!!”
“Carlie was fantastic with my very elderly cat, Molly. I was so afraid to leave her but Carlie left me confident. Molly is starting to miss the litter box and Carlie had no hesitancy about clean ups. She sent the best pictures and reports that always made me smile. Highly recommend!”
About: I love to know and celebrate the unique personality that each dog has. Every dog has their own needs and quirks, and I make it a point to meet them where they are. I work with dogs of all ages and temperaments. I make sure to show each one how special they are and to give them enriching and comfortable experiences. I have two dogs who I adore who have taught me the importance of quality time, thoughtful care, and patience. I know what it’s like to want my dogs to be well taken care of in the times I’m away, and so I make it a priority for my clients’ dogs to have that same care and attention that I give my own. I am available Tuesday evenings; most Wednesdays and Thursday (morning-evening) and Friday mornings/early afternoon. Friday evening-Mondays are my busiest days, but I am happy to work with clients to make these days/evenings available as they are needed. I work with clients’ preferences and needs within their homes for animal care. When working with new clients I ask for information about what they prefer and require.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tori did a fantastic job pet sitting for us while we were away last week. Our kitties were happy and well cared for, and we came home to a house that was spotless—which I REALLY appreciated, especially since I’m very particular about litter being tracked around!! 😜 She was reliable, attentive, and clearly took great care of both our pets and our home. We felt totally at ease while we were away and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Wonderful! Took extra time to spend with my cats and play with them and made sure they had their food and treats and gave them lots of attention. Will definitely work with again. Thank you!”
About: Hi! I’m Sierra — I graduated with my M.S in elementary education and I am currently focusing on nannying/dog walking. I have over 6 years of pet care experience in Fairfield County. I’ve worked with a variety of families through both a professional pet care company (for 5 years) and on my own. I absolutely love animals and have a dog and five cats of my own, so I really understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I’m responsible, flexible, and always make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s walks, feedings, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ve got you covered! I also have amazing references that I can send over.😊 I’m currently available during the day during the week and anytime on weekends. I am also flexible when needed. I can’t wait to hear from you! When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and exercise routines. I make sure the home stays safe and secure, sticking to the pet’s usual schedule to keep them comfortable. I give plenty of attention and monitor their health, while keeping their space clean and respecting the client’s home. I also send regular updates to owners and quickly communicate any concerns. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care that puts both pets and owners at ease.
“John did a great job taking care of our pets. He was responsive, easy to talk to and genuinely cared for our crew of 2 cats and an energetic dog. We will utilize his services again soon.”
“Mia is lovely and personable. She has much experience with cats, dogs, raising chickens, etc.! She dropped in to feed and play with our cat, Seamus. He was relaxed when we returned home from our trip. Mia left Seamus's accoutrement clean and very organized! We've already booked her for another drop-in week this summer. :)”
About: I have taken care of many different animals for years. I have taken care of dogs big and small, cats, and reptiles! I am home for a year until Ieave for grad school and I am open to help! I am open to boarding however I do have a dog as well! I am looking for something part-time, as I am a college student at Roger Williams University! I have classes during the day but I am free by the early afternoon! I always make sure to have an eye on them, that they have everything they need, follow instructions given, and make sure to give them love and attention!
“We were very pleased with Nicole’s service! She was easy to work with and provided tender, loving care to our cat while we were out of town on a short trip. Being a cat owner herself, our cat took to her immediately and jumped right onto her lap. Nicole followed our feeding instructions precisely and sent periodic photo updates, which really eased our anxiety since this was our first time using a pet-sitting service. We came home to a happy, calm cat, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Nicole again in the future!”
About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting all my life. I also fostered a mid-size mixed terrier. I have two cats of my own. I love how all animals have amazing personalities! I can do dog walking, cat check ins with waste clean-up or over nights which ever you may need. I know how to administer meds to both cats and dogs. It is so important to have your furry loved ones pampered while you are away! I am retired so my availability is flexible. I also enjoy sending photos of your four legged loved one while you are away! I have also watched chickens, turtles, guinea pigs, snakes and iguanas. Looking forward to hearing from you! (I do not charge for additional dogs or cats!) I am retired so I have a flexible schedule! I can go during the day or stay overnight at your home. Whichever you feel most comfortable with would work! When I come to your house, besides walking/feeding, I do waste cleanup as well. Of course, playing is a must! I will definitely send photos and videos so you know how your furry family member is feeling!
About: I’ve been walking dogs since I was a kid, and have cared for several senior dogs while their families were away in recent years. I’ve also house-sat for kitty families and multi-pet homes. Whether your pet has special requests or just needs some company, I’m excited to meet them! I’m a Park Ranger who works seasonally and I am currently in the off-season until March. Thus, I have a very open, flexible schedule for all your pet care needs. My approach is very thoughtful and considerate of your space and what you prefer your pet be allowed to do. Before entering anyone’s home, I like to check in with the home owner to ensure I’m aware of all rules and preferences so I can provide the excellent service you’re looking for while respecting your boundaries as well.
“Xena is a cat person! She took such good care of our two kitties! We had planned a 10 day trip for our 20th wedding anniversary and were unable to book our usual sitter. We found Xena on Rover and couldn’t be happier. She really gave our two Siberian cats loving attention. She followed our instructions / requests for Beau our 1 year old boy, and Bella our 10 year old girl. She played with Beau and let him burn off some energy. Bella with extra long fluffy fur needs brushing to prevent hairballs and she also loves affection. We had some feeding instructions such as giving calming probiotic to Beau and hairball remedy to Bella. Xena addressed their individual needs. We scheduled her to come twice per day because Beau can get a bit hangry. He’s not ready to be left for 24 hours between visits. Xena was able to visit the kitties morning and evening each day. She sent us detailed notes and photos after each visit. The way she wrote about them, and described her time with them, told me she was doing a great job because I could see their individual personalities shining through her words. This really put us at ease while we were so far away from home. We were able to enjoy our trip without any worries about how our kitties were doing. When we returned both kitties were happy to see us, but they were clearly happy in general. Believe me after a lifetime of having cats, they find a way to let you know when they haven’t had a good experience with a sitter. They had a good experience with Xena and so did we!”
About: I've been taking care of my own dog since we first got her 7 years ago, and I also used to volunteer at the New Milford Animal Shelter. My family fosters animals (both cats and dogs) from Because 4 Paws in New Milford, so I have some basic experience with administering medicines and helping others administer medicines. I've also been a dog sitter for 3 different families. I recently moved back to the east coast and am looking for some side work while I hunt for a full time job. I'm not sure when that will be, so I'm trying not to set my availability too far out, but am still flexible for now! Depending on what the owners are comfortable with, I would love to take the dogs out for a walk at a nearby park or walking trail. We have four cats at our house that are wary of new animals, so I am unable to pet sit at my residence. However, I am willing to spend time with your fur babies at your house or preferred location, and will follow whatever instructions necessary to ensure the comfortability of you and your pets.
About: Big dogs and little dogs are all happy dogs. I enjoy taking care of and spending time with animals. I have had experience since my childhood I will be more active in my life physically walking them and taking care of them. It’s a perfect job cute animals and taking care of them for money. It’s perfect. I will take the best care of your pet at your home. Just let me know if they need something or have a certain routine and I got it!
About: Hi! My name is Courtney, and I’m a registered nurse with a lifelong love for animals. Caring for others is what I do every day—both professionally and personally—and that same level of compassion, attentiveness, and responsibility carries over into how I care for pets. I grew up surrounded by animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, goats, rabbits, chinchillas, hamsters, and birds. Because of this, I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, needs, and care routines. I currently have a one-year-old dog who means everything to me, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I will treat your animals with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or pet sitting, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow any specific instructions to maintain your pet’s routine.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love and compassion for animals. I have a naturally calm, patient personality and a true desire to make every pet feel safe, understood, and cared for. I pay close attention to each animal’s individual needs and routines, and I’m dedicated to giving them the same level of affection and respect I give my own pets. I currently work at a part time job as a hairstylist in training and a bartender some days but i’m very flexible with my schedule I have a safe pet fence around my garden, i never let my dogs out my eyesight when they are going outside (they are small maltese dogs). When i will take care of clients pets I will ask if they have any preferences such as food, certain treats, allergies, or medication i need to be aware of. If any of the pets have a certain medical condition I will make sure the dog or cat is safe in my care and is comfortable with me

Isabelle is a sweet and lovely person with a real gentleness toward animals. My cat bonded with her quickly. I appreciated Isabelle’s reliability and detailed check-in messages and photos. This was my first time having a pet sitter (other than family) and I felt reassured my kitty was being so well cared for. If I could give Isabelle a 10 rating, I would!
Maria did a wonderful job of caring for my sweet, nervous cat, Lily. Lily has some medical needs and Maria followed my instructions and administered Lily's meds well. I was initially nervous about leaving Lily under someone else's care, however, Maria did a great job and answered my questions, kept me informed. I appreciate the help from Maria, thanks so much! I would hire Maria again.
Sarah was a life saver!! The day I had to leave for NH my babysitter had to bail, I scrambled to find someone to care for my sweet little lady Penny 🐈 and Sarah came that SAME afternoon to drop in and take care of her for us. Amazing! Penny takes a long while to warm up to people, but within a few days she was giving Sarah head bumps, which really proves that Sarah has great vibes!! I’m so relieved and thankful! 😌 💜
Autumn is an amazing cat sitter. She is reliable, caring, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our cat was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for when we got home. She kept us updated, paid attention to the little details, and treated our pet like her own. We would absolutely recommend Autumn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tori did a fantastic job pet sitting for us while we were away last week. Our kitties were happy and well cared for, and we came home to a house that was spotless—which I REALLY appreciated, especially since I’m very particular about litter being tracked around!! 😜 She was reliable, attentive, and clearly took great care of both our pets and our home. We felt totally at ease while we were away and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Kayla was truly phenomenal taking care of our cats. She was on time for every appointment and very communicative each day. She even got one of our cats, who never comes out for strangers, to come out for the visit and ensure she was cared for. We are very happy with Kayla and would absolutely book her in the future.
Will is kind, communicative, punctual and trustworthy. He was great taking care of my pets and I wouldn’t hesitate to have him again. I felt great knowing he was taking care of them when I was far away traveling. I’d highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a great pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Danbury is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $50 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 472 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Danbury. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
