“Jen was absolutely fantastic! We did a house sitting and she was extremely conscientious and communicative. Dusty is a high energy, rascal of a dog and she was so great with him. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Sara was great with Bella this week. I felt very comfortable being away knowing Sara was caring for Bella. Through the week I got consistently updated with photos, videos and info on Bella’s daily routine. My pup was clearly very happy throughout the week. Will definitely book Sara again. Thank you for taking such good care of my girl!”
“Tara was amazing! She took care of our 3 dogs (all different sizes and breed) with much care and attention. She is an animal lover and you can tell. We highly recommend her and will be using again.”
“Stephanie was incredibly caring, communicative, and organized while taking care of our cat and dog for the weekend. She made sure our nervous pup felt safe throughout the weekend and gave us really helpful updates. Would absolutely have Stephanie stay with them again!”
“Gabby was attentive and caring for my Siberian Husky for the time I was gone. She sent daily updates that put my mind at ease, and loved him like one of her own.”
“Aliyah did an amazing job housesitting our dog and two kittens while we were away. She sent a bunch of great photos and did a very good job communicating with us - and reaching out when she had questions or needed to update us. In particular, our dog was feeling a bit "off" at one point, and she took extra care to get him back on track. We returned from our trip to a happy, healthy dog and kittens that were still up to their old tricks - and a clean home that had clearly been taken care of while we were away. I really appreciated all that Aliyah did and would highly recommend her!”
“Lakeisha was everything and more that you could ask for in a dogsitter. She was attentive, caring, and truly showed a passion for watching animals. I will definitely use her again and encourage everyone to do the same.”
“Jason was great with our animals. He sent some photos and kept in touch letting us know how everything was going and how sweet our pets were for him. We hope to be able to book him again in the future.”
“Cotter was great with our two dogs! He helped us out in a crunch over the holiday weekend, was extremely responsive and provided a ton of updates. Our dogs were very comfortable with him, we will definitely be using him again in the future. Thank you Cotter!”
“Kayla was super attentive from the beginning—very kind and polite! I’m sure my dog, Milo, felt completely comfortable with her. Throughout the day, she also sent me some photos, which made me feel even more at ease. Being able to go to work without worrying about our pets is amazing—I was able to focus on my job thanks to her care and attention!”
“Joe did a great job taking care of Luna. We felt comfortable that our dog and our house were in good hands. It seemed like Joe really bonded with Luna and that he genuinely enjoys working with animals.”
“Alisa did an amazing job all around! It was our first time leaving our pups with a sitter and we were very nervous. Our younger pup acted out a bit because of our absence but Alisa still took care of them SO well and even kept our home clean. She was extremely understanding to our younger one and was very knowledgeable on how to help the separation anxiety. We are so grateful we were able to find her last minute!”
“Carli was wonderful while watching our dog! She was communicative, proactive, and attentive, making sure that our dog Lucky was well taken care of. Would definitely want to ask Carli back, we’re very grateful!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Danbury
Maria was outstanding! She stayed in our home while we were away to watch our 4 year old Yellow lab--the house was left in great shape, and most importantly, our dog Callie was well taken care of. Long walks, meals, pictures and videos of activities...you name it, Maria covered all of it. Maria was very communicative throughout the whole stay which put our mind at ease while on vacation, and was extremely professional. Don't even give a second thought about booking Maria; she's the best and we would absolutely have her back to take care of our dog.
Kayla took great care of our house and pets while we were away for 12 days! It was clear when we got home that our dog and cat had been treated exceptionally well. Kayla was very responsible and left everything clean and orderly. We plan to hire her again next time we go away!
Jennifer took great care of our dogs, Mochi and Hana. She left our place exactly as she found it, which is much appreciated! We got photos multiple times a day and great communication. She listened, made sure the girls were comfortable and stayed on their schedule, and handled everything so we could enjoy our taime away!
Jenn has been our Layla’s BFF since she first walked into our house. The connection is so beautiful. This was the first time since we adopted our pup that we’ve gone on a “proper” vacation, and I really don’t know if we could have done it without knowing what capable hands she was in. Jenn remains communicative, responsive, responsible, kind and caring. She will always be our first choice to take care of our sweet girl. When we arrived back home after 10 days, Layla was over-the-moon happy, but kept checking on Jenn because she wanted her to be a big part of our “family reunion”…. That spoke Volumes. So grateful.
Isabelle is responsive, professional, friendly, and my dogs love her!! She responded quickly to my initial inquiry, was accommodating in our pre-meet, asked all the right questions to understand our preferences, and then communicated updates regularly during her visits. She exemplifies professionalism but with a warmth that makes us very comfortable entrusting her with our beloved furr babies. I cannot recommend her enough!!
Jordan has been great with our Hallie! She’s cared for her a couple of times now, and each time we’ve felt completely at ease. She's dependable, communicative, and mindful of Hallie's needs - while also being respectful of our home. It's such a comfort to know that Hallie is in such capable and caring hands!

FAQs for House Sitting - Danbury
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Danbury on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,123 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Danbury. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Danbury 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 Danbury 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.
Tip: 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 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Danbury. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
