“Sara was fabulous! Our dog was snuggled and cared for by Sara so beautifully. She communicated with us on the daily, and made sure our dog got good exercise and outdoor time. She also house sat and took amazing care of our house. Would highly recommend her and rebook her in the future!”
“Jen took excellent care of our boys during our 7 day vacation overseas. She was communicative and thorough right from the start, triple-checking to make sure everything was understood. She sent happy, active pictures and messages everyday, which added a sense of comfort while we were far away from our pooches. I would not hesitate to book Jen again. Thank you, Jen!”
About: I volunteer in animal shelter constantly, I have taken care of dogs from friends and coworkers multiples times. I wanna be a vet one day!! I am currently out of school for summer so I got a lot free time that i would love to spend with cats and dogs I am really responsible and I have lovely cat that would love to have more fur friends, and I also have yard which they can play in it
“Stephanie was great and super communicative- She provided regular updates and photos which gave me peace of mind while I was away and I can tell she genuinely loves animals! I highly recommend!”
“Hailey did a great job pet sitting for our cat when she was in a cone and having some health issues. She sent photos and updates so I could relax knowing my baby was well taken care of. She was also on time and very responsible.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and currently have two dogs and a hedgehog of my own 💗 Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to help with walks, feeding, check-ins, and giving their pets attention when they need it. I have experience with different personalities from energetic pups to shy or older pets, and I always take the time to understand what makes each animal comfortable. I work part-time during the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care 🐾 I’m available Sundays and around my shifts for walks, feeding, check-ins, playtime, and overnight stays. I’m happy to keep pets active with walks and play or spend quiet time with pets who just want company 🤍 I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family 🐶🤍 I’m patient with nervous pets, comfortable caring for senior pets, and experienced with following specific routines. I can administer oral medications, ear drops, and eye drops when needed, and I always make sure owners’ instructions are followed carefully.
“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.”
About: I have cared for multiple dog, cat, and rabbit breeds. Friends and family have relied on me numerous times to care for their pets for extended periods of time (days-weeks), including walks, baths, feeding, grooming, and overall patience with their furry family member. I will stick to the same routine you have for your pet as to not further stress the animal. I offer drop-ins, and dog walks! 🐾Walks are usually between 30-60 minutes in your neighborhood. 🐈 Litter box will be cleaned and they’ll have good company, even if they don’t come out I’ll stay just to make sure they’re safe and not getting into trouble. Please let me know if your pet has any medical issues/ special diets. I am experienced with elderly pets and can administer topical treatments as well as oral/fluid medication. You will get updates while I am with your pet, expect pictures and notes. If anything out of the ordinary occurs you will be contacted immediately (if you’re not available please leave another emergency contact that lives close by) I am free most days of the week, and I am currently very flexible. ‼️‼️For house sitting I cannot sleep over but I can stay all day! I usually go to the client’s home to care for the pet as I live with my parents still. I make sure bowls are washed after every meal, treats are given, litter is clean and ensure the pet is comfortable (even in their own home because a new person may cause stress). I’m an early riser and a night owl so morning and night walks are easy (so is breakfast and dinner), and I love being outside.
“Jason was fantastic with my pups. He was aware of how to interact with them, seemed to enjoy walking them, feed them as directed and walked them as requested. I am very happy and pups seem to be also.”
About: I have owned cats my entire life and have had my own beloved dog for 11 years. Working as a private instructor and teacher, I routinely enter clients' homes and have mastered the art of reading animal body language. I consider myself a bit of a dog and cat "whisperer"—I have zero fear or nervousness around animals, and pets quickly sense my calm, positive aura. I treat every animal I care for with the exact same love, respect, and high-quality attention that I give to my very own pets. As a teacher, my summer schedule opens up beautifully! While I will still be working with a few students, I schedule my lessons earlier in the day to ensure I have maximum flexibility for your pets. My weekends are 100% completely free and dedicated to pet care, and my late afternoons and evenings are entirely open as well. I am highly organized and communicative, so you will always know exactly when I am coming and going. Security, safety, and a calm environment are my top priorities. Because of my professional background as an in-home private instructor, I am deeply respectful of my clients' spaces, privacy, and household rules. I know how to keep a home secure, stick to strict feeding and medical routines, and handle any unexpected situations calmly. I excel at maintaining a stress-free environment so your pets feel completely relaxed, safe, and loved while you are away.
“Thank you Jeffrey for taking such good care of all of our fur baby, especially our 15 year old, Fred. It was so comforting to know that someone as capable and loving was here to attend to their needs. We won’t hesitate to call u again!!”
“Sarah - was amazing! Our two dogs were so happy with her and were so happy when we got home. In addition, she was unexpectedly snowed in with them and took wonderful care of them and the house. We will be using her again and if anyone needs a personal recommendation, we are more than happy to endorse Sarah!”
“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.”

I understand that each dog has a unique personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved—just like they would at home. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, including playful puppies who need extra attention, consistency, and basic training reinforcement, as well as senior dogs who require patience, gentle care, and close monitoring. I’m reliable, attentive, and detail-oriented. I follow routines carefully, whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, or simply providing companionship. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, so they feel confident and at ease while away.

“Kayla came to babysit our new puppy and our two other dogs! We felt very safe having her in our home to hang with them all day while we had to be away at an appointment. It made us feel so much better knowing she was there to give then love and attention. Thanks so much!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Danbury
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!
Jolene is a "pro" dogsitter. She is very organized, lots of fun, observant, thorough, great @ tummy rubs and pets, and loves dogs. She asked for information before her stay and followed the directions that we offered before we left on our trip. We received daily photos and reports from her about Luna. Luna had a wonderful time with Jolene. We wholeheartedly recommend her for your pets!

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 2,136 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.
