“Sara is phenomenal. She's a wonderful dog sitter and kept me in the loop with pics and news reports throughout her stay. Shes conscientious, kind, gentle, nurturing and left my home with no sign of her presence. My pups were so happy while she was here. I'm grateful to know her.”
“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!”
“Isabelle took excellent care of our dog while we were away on vacation. She communicated often throughout her stay and made sure our little guy was well taken care of. We'll definitely be requesting her services again!”
“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 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!”
About: I am a dedicated animal lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, including dogs, cats, and ferrets. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s needs. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, built around consistent feeding times, walks, and play sessions. I set aside dedicated time each day and week to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. This routine helps pets feel secure while allowing me to provide reliable, high-quality care. I provide attentive, compassionate care by following each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, fresh water, exercise, and playtime. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free in a familiar environment. I also monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior or health and provide regular updates to give owners peace of mind.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care that Hailey provided to our cat, Max. This was our first time using Rover and we got lucky finding Hailey. We liked her when we met for the in-person interview. She did a fantastic job taking care of Max for the two weeks we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing that he was being well cared for and loved. She kept us updated with pictures of Max. Because of her, we were able to truly enjoy our vacation without worry. We are so grateful for her and will absolutely be reaching out again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I could walk, so caring for animals has always felt second nature. I also volunteer as a dog walker, socializer, and trainer at Danbury Animal Welfare Society, where I work with dogs of different temperaments, energy levels, and needs. My style is calm, patient, and attentive, whether your dog needs a real exercise walk, your cat needs a quiet check-in, or your older pet just needs someone gentle and consistent. I know trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big deal, so I take reliability seriously. I’ll show up when I say I will, pay attention to your pet’s routine, and send clear updates so you know they’re safe, happy, and cared for. I currently work full time, but my evenings and weekends are often free. I’m a good fit for weekend walks, evening check-ins, drop-in visits, and occasional pet care when your regular routine needs extra support. Because I value reliability, I only accept bookings I know I can show up for fully and on time. I pay close attention to each pet’s body language, comfort level, routines, and boundaries, and I never force interactions with people, dogs, or unfamiliar situations. For walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, avoid unsafe areas, and adjust the pace to the dog’s age, energy, and temperament. I’m comfortable with shy, anxious, energetic, and older pets, and I believe patience and consistency go a long way. For drop-ins, I’ll respect your home, follow your instructions carefully, check food, water, litter, doors, and gates, and send clear updates so you know how your pet is doing.
“Erin and her sister Caitlin did an Amazing job taking care of my two sweet dogs over a crazy busy holiday weekend. On a night with both fireworks and thunderstorms, I worried about leaving the pups, but Caitlin kept them calm and happy and comforted for several hours. The dogs loved her and so did my family. I'd hire this pet sitting team again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend.”
“Once again, Kayla took great care of our Luna, as well as our home, while we were away. We have found Kayla to be responsible, dependable and very responsive. We appreciate how she sends photos and keeps in touch. Luna misses her when she leaves! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and to use her again in the future.”
“Marcella was on time, was attentive to all our instructions, and she and Sadie got along really well. Marcella responded to my texts and did a great job taking care of Sadie. Thank you!”
About: I have been called Dr. Dolittle my entire life. I have a knack for connecting with animals of all kinds. My very first job was working at a local farm with all different types of animals like horses, goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, etc. It was one of my favorite jobs, I got lucky! I also worked at a dog boarding facility which gave me experience working with multiple dogs at once. I always give animals the space to have their specific personality and the respect they deserve, as I would treat a human. Animals are often misunderstood, I’ve always tried to meet them where they stand. If there is one thing I am confident in, it’s making an animal feel safe and comfortable. And they do the same for me :) I would love to meet your faithful friend and see if they find me worthy of a tail wag or a belly pet! I currently work a very flexible part-time job. I have a lot of availability and can be very flexible. Working with animals is more than a job to me, I very much enjoy it. I will find ways to work with you and your pets personal needs. I love to schedule a meet-up before providing pet care. This is just to see that we are all on the same page and everyone feels it's a good fit. I do not offer home services. I will travel to your home so your pet can be where they are most comfortable. I work around you and your pets comfort. As a pet owner myself, I understand it can be hard to leave your companions in someone else’s care. I want to do what it takes to make you feel 100% safe and at ease when leaving your furbabies in my care.
“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.”
“Jeffrey came early to meet Kashmir and was absolutely wonderful with her. He was very sweet and attentive. Clearly understands dogs. Jeffrey even cleaned up in the kitchen. Thank you for taking such good care of her!”
“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!”
“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!”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Danbury
Jennifer was an exceptional pet sitter. Our 13 yr old dog had some health issues while we were away and Jennifer went above and beyond to look after her. I am very happy with the amazing care she provided for our pet. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She was incredible.
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 July 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 July 2026, there are 2,172 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.

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.
