“Sandra did a great job taking care of my cat! For a shy cat, Sandra made her feel comfortable quickly and spent a lot of time petting and playing with her. She also sent lots of photos while I was away and kept me updated in her reports. Would highly recommend booking Sandra!”

“I highly recommend Molly as a pet sitter! She took excellent care of my cat for two weeks with daily visit, which were always on time creating a nice routine for feeding and socializing. Molly was highly communicative, sent pictures daily, and went above & beyond to ensure my princess was happy & healthy. Snowflake usually doesn’t like strangers, but she opened up to Molly in no time which gave me peace of mind while being overseas. Molly also came for a visit ahead of the trip to meet us and get an idea of the task, and she even rescued my hydroponics when the water went low!”
“Love Rachel!!! She was so quick to respond and respectively adapt to my situation with a smile; and put me at ease immediately. Her photos of my 3 year old black lab Kai are PHENOMENAL and I always feel left out! She has already given me so many training tips and answered a million questions. Kai gets so excited to see her and I am thrilled having someone reliable and experienced giving Kai the quality time and exercise he needs while I am at work. 10/10 recommend!! Just not during Kai's time lol!! Thank you Rachel!!! <3”
About: I’ve been caring for my own dogs as well as pets of family and friends since a young age, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I treat every pet as if they were my own—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My dog is friendly, well-socialized, and enjoys playing with other pets. With your permission, I’m also happy to provide high-quality photos during each visit, so you can see your pet happy and content. I currently work full-time in a hybrid position, which means I’m home about 3 out of 5 weekdays. I’m also available most weekends and enjoy spending time outdoors. During the warmer months, I often take my dog to the dog park for play and exercise. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship, whether we're relaxing at home or enjoying time outside. I do my best to ensure each pet feels safe, happy, and part of the family during their stay. I have an open, unfenced yard, so for safety, all pets will be leashed while outside. We also have a spacious deck where your pet can relax and enjoy the summer breeze. Inside the home, your pet will be free to roam and play under supervision. My own dog is friendly and happy to provide companionship if your pet enjoys socializing. I have a medium-sized crate available if needed, and plenty of toys to keep your pet engaged. Fresh water will always be available, and your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities.
“Jamie and Danae were terrific caretakers for our "zoo" of animals including both fowl and feline. I would rebook them again! In addition the communication from them was regular, caring, and detailed. Five stars.”
About: I've always had dogs for as long as I can remember. At this stage of my life, I do not want a dog of my own, but would love to help you care for yours. I am retired and spend much time around the area. would love a companion for outside walks, cuddling on the couch or just hanging out on deck enjoying the sunshine. In my home, the guest is free to roam the house and go on any furniture or bed.....A full guest in our home. Water is always out and I will follow any requests from the owners. Never outside without a leash
“Diana is a great cat sitter. She loves our cat Kuma genuinely always petting her for a while. Kuma feels comfortable with her. We love the pictures Diana took. They’re artistic and cool. Thank you Diana for letting us travel relaxed without worrying too much about Kuma.”
About: I've done house/petsisting in the past & thought I'd get back into it. I can either come to your house (for dogs) or take your cat at my apartment. I currently work full time M-F 8-5. I can do after work or on the weekends. I live in Bethel...so local would be nice to have. I cannot care for dogs at my apartment. I can go to your house or I can take cats. I have a small apartment good for snuggling.
About: I grew up around animals, when my sister's and I were little we would take care of cats on the street. We also had cats and dogs at home. It's amazing to watch how smart these animals are and even better watching them open up after first being hesitant. I turned my passion for animals into a career. I have experience with all types of breeds, administering medications and problem behaviors. This is what I do full-time so I have tons of availability to care for, love on and play with your dog or cat (or any animal that may need attention). I take last minute calls, short term and long term jobs. My main concern is that my animals are well cared for, safe and loved while you are away. Integrity and reliability is what I stand by with my care. Dogs that I board in my home are taken on daily walks, if owners are OK I will bring them on outings to dog parks or hiking. When going to someone home for drop in visits they are also walked and played with, if there is a fenced in backyard then I'll play fetch to make sure they're able to expel energy and get exercise in.
About: Hi! My name is Eddy! I’ve had dogs my whole life, so I truly understand how much love, attention, and care they need. I’m always outside and active, which means your pup and I will enjoy plenty of playtime and fresh air—whether that’s walks, fetch, or just exploring new spots. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every dog like they’re my own. You can trust that your furry friend will get lots of exercise, affection, and belly rubs while you’re away. I currently work nights, so I have all the time during the day to walk your pup before 5pm! I’m available every Sunday as well I have a fenced yard with lots of space and shade for your furry friend to run around and to cool down if needed too!
About: I have experience with all dogs sizes, especially large breeds. I watched my childhood dogs go from puppies to seniors. From this, I’m able to administer medicine. I currently work from home remotely, so it is very flexible for me. With my current houses, I am able to bring my laptop and work there to allow no interruptions into your pet’s daily routine I care for your pets as if they were my own. When I’m in your home, I tried to make it as if I was never there to allow you to feel fully relaxed up upon coming home from your time away.
“*Great with puppies!* *Keep reading to find out how she went above and beyond!* I would definitely recommend Nicole for a "drop-in" visit for your pet! She responded to Rover messages in a professional and timely manner and she was open and honest about availability before we even met. Nicole came for a meet and greet and listened to all my particular requests as l am a (new!) puppy parent. Nicole "dropped-in" 2x / day for 2 days. She was to let my brand new, 3 month old puppy, out of the cage and outside while practicing “go pee pee,” "sit" and "down" with Lucy. She followed all my directions perfectly as I wanted Lucy's care to be consistent with mine, since she's just a puppy and new to our home. I appreciated the detailed notes she wrote about her visit and the photos she included on the Rover card! It put my mind at ease while I was at work. Thank you, Nicole! Want to know how she went above and beyond in just 2 days? 1) Nicole taught 3 month old Lucy how to walk down stairs.. in just 4 visits! 2) Nicole taught ME a trick to easily put on wiggly Lucy’s harness! Thanks for everything, Nicole! Hopefully you’ll be able to come help us out again soon!”
About: I'm very patient with animals. I love spending time with them. I often pet sit for people in my social circle and enjoy it very much. I work from home 3 days a week. I'd be happy to spend my work day keeping your pet company during your work day away from home. I follow the wants of the pet parent. Whether it be no more than 2 goodies a day. Make sure they get some fresh air and snuggles.
“Stuart took great care of my kitties Mags and Leela while I was away for work -- feeding them, scooping their litterboxes, spending quality time with them, and sending me daily reports with photos. It really put my mind at ease to know they were safe and well cared for. I'll definitely book with Stuart through Rover again, next time I need to take a trip.”
“Jenn is an outstanding dog walker. She has great training skills taught our puppy how to ‘leave it’ and reinforces other good behaviors. She is reliable and trustworthy. We strongly recommend her!!!”
About: I have cared for cats and dogs of different ages and breeds for friends, family, as well as my own. Pets are amazing and it's tough to not be happy when you have something that gives you unconditional love. I have a very open and flexible schedule which makes it easier for visits, or walks and dog sitting in general. I am always in and around the Danbury area. I currently do not have any pets in my household. But I have family with pets that I help with, whether it is going over to feed and play with a kitty or talk a dog on a long walk or run outside and take to the bathroom and just spend time with them when their owners are traveling.
About: Ive always walked my personal dogs since I was young. I know how time consuming it could be. Here to help! Open to anything dog care. It fits perfect. I wake up early, so i can look forward for any bookings I may get. I have more time than I need during the day for Dog care I live at a house with a backyard that is fenced which also has a patio. A ton of grass space with shade & my nice flowers are safe.
“Aliyah is amazing, so flexible and always gives me updates throughout her stays. I feel much better knowing she’s there watching out for my dogs while I’m at work. My puppy and older dog both love her!”

Danbury dog parents share their Rover experiences
Danae and Jamie were fantastic dog sitters for our two pups, Emma and Jackson. They were always punctual, provided regular updates and photos, and clearly cared about our dogs' well-being. We especially appreciated their focus on safety and their deep understanding of how pets can behave differently when their owners are away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Emma and Jackson were in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommend!
Linda was so great with my husky, Reggie! My family was out of town for the weekend and she was so communicative with photos and checks in.. We extended our trip by another night at the last minute and she agreed to check in on his additionally to what was already booked. She sent photos and great updates on all of her drop in visits.. Highly recommend!
Nicole was absolutely fabulous! She was so sweet and attentive with my pup (who is very old and reactive). Nicole handled her like a pro, always kept me up to date with pics, and was very responsive in messaging. This was my dog’s first experience with a dog sitter and everything went very well thanks to her experience and professionalism. I would definitely hire Nicole again in the future!
