I hold multiple degrees and professional certifications in animal related fields. I am an Animal Behaviorist, Primatologist, and certified in canine rehabilitation, first aid and CPR. I am the founder of a non profit that provides wheelchairs for rescue dogs, Aprile’s Memorial French Bulldogs Special Needs Support Services. I have been entrusted with the care of dogs for many prominent families and celebrities who value my deep love of dogs and devotion to treating every animal in my care with compassion, patience and understanding.

I have a rescue French Bulldog Mildred. I have had French Bulldogs for 30 years before they were the most popular breed. I have a very diverse skill set caring for dogs with special needs and behavioral issues. Working with the rescue and rehabilitation of animals as long as I have allows me to not only care for dogs basic needs when they stay in my care but also allows me to offer them extra support in understanding their individual personality and behaviors.

“Jen did drop in visits for us with our cat while we were on vacation and kept her well fed and cuddled. She was reliable and trustworthy. We received daily photos to reassure us she was doing well. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter. We’re very grateful to have found her to care for our cat so we could relax on vacation.”

About: As long as I can remember, I have been around dogs. My best friends growing up were a pair of black labs named Tillie and Jodi and my little jack russell named Widget. I grew up feeding, walking and caring for these dogs and I'll always consider them family. In my late teens I worked for Millstone Farmstead in Wilton, CT. There I cared for a variety of animals such as llamas, sheep, pigs, and chickens. I am very comfortable caring for and hanging out with animals (even if they are significantly larger than me like those llamas...) I am currently working as a freelance musician and audio engineer. My schedule is very flexible and I am open to making accommodations for clients. I believe in respect and transparency when it comes to being in someone else's home and especially when caring for their animals. I am happy to send frequent updates and abide by any and all house rules.

About: We will take care of your pet like it's our own. The house here has a large fenced yard with grass and woods to explore. Have raised Labs and German Shepards all my life - now have a friendly chihuahua mix who would love some company. I will take excellent care of your dog just as if s/he were mine. My dog is on a special diet so I am used to special feeding and pill requirements. I'm home working during the day so it wouldn't force me to change my schedule. I'm new on the site but have pampered dogs my whole life so another dog would be welcome company. There are several parks close that I can take your dog for a walk (Cranbury, Cherry Lane and Devils Den to name a few). Tell me about your dog and needs and let's discuss if it makes sense for you. I work online part-time and spend a lot of time with my dogs or any animals that stay with us. Our dog loves other dogs and we often go on walks (either trail or gravel). I spend most of the day hanging out with the dogs - very light work schedule. I have a fenced yard, there are lots of toys for your dogs. We only take care 1 or two dogs at a time so your dog will get extra special care. We have taken care of dogs for weeks as the owners went on vacation. My girlfriend is currently home with a broken foot so we are not traveling at this time.

About: Im comfortable working with friendly dogs of different ages, including puppies who need extra attention and older dogs who may need a slower, more gentle approach. Plus, my dog is very friendly and enjoys the company, which can help other dogs feel more comfortable and social. I've always loved being around animals, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. Whether it's walks, sticking to their normal routine, I'll treat your pet with the same love and attention I'd give my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I'll keep you updated with messages and photos while you're away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way. I care for pets in both my home and my client’s home, depending on the service. I make sure they have a safe, clean space, follow their feeding and walking routines, and give them plenty of attention. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep their pet comfortable and cared for.

I have a 16 year old dog that doesn’t like strangers and is incontinent, so I was worried about finding compassionate care. Nicole was perfect! She made me feel comfortable with her warm personality and didn’t seem surprised at all when I noted this visit may involve cleaning up floor poops. I came home to a relaxed and unbothered elder gentleman and couldn’t be happier.

Paul was able to come, with very little notice, to sit with my 2 dogs while I had to run some urgent errands. He was prompt, friendly, communicated well, and was patient and kind with my nervous dogs who had been traveling and were in a new environment. I am so grateful to Paul for helping me out and I look forward to hiring him again!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Danbury

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Danbury is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $40 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 3,226 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Danbury. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Danbury 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!

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Danbury with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
