“We have been booking with Tara for almost a year now when we travel and she is the best! She is so loving to our cats and was even able to help us out with an extra unplanned visit when our flight home was cancelled this weekend. We are so glad we have her to take care of our boys when we’re away! ❤️”
“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!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life! My family and then myself have adopted and taken care of dogs and cats of all ages but more recently, I have adopted senior dogs and taken care of all their needs. I work at Western Connecticut with lots of flexibility in my schedule! I’m usually available to come and go during the day if needed and only live a few minutes from work. The complex I live in is very dog friendly! I had my dog with there until she passed. There are lots of designated dog walking areas, dog grooming and wash rooms.
“Allison was amazing!! We hired her to drop in and take care of our pet cat and she did such a great job. She set up a meet and greet to get to know our cat first, and I could tell by the questions that she was asking that she truly cares about animals. Even our skittish cat took to her right away. We felt such peace of mind knowing Allison would be caring for her while we were gone. 5 stars, would definitely book her again!!”
“Diana is wonderful with my two dogs. They love her and I feel so comfortable that she loves them as her own. She always sends notes and pictures and is very responsive. We love her!”
“Sara is literally the best. She follows all instructions, is super communicative, and takes such great care of my cat! She goes above and beyond to make sure he is well cared for. I won’t leave home unless Sara is available ! I can’t thank her enough xo”
“Hayley is wonderful. She is amazing at communicating each visit with an update about how the cats were doing. She was also very flexible and gracious- My elderly cat takes oral medication and Hayley was very comfortable about administering it, but was understanding and willing to help when the day before her visit we had to add eye medication for a scratch. I will definitely reach out to Haley again to pet sit.”
“Sarah did a great job caring for our two cats! She was responsive to texts and requests and we loved seeing the pictures of them while we were away. Sarah was also great with giving one of our cats his medicine. We would hire her again!”
“Isabelle is so sweet and she was great with our boy Boone! We didnt have enough time for her to meet Boone prior to booking so our boy was nervous when she first got there, but she made sure to give him his space and time to warm up to her. It paid off because they spent the evening on the couch together 😊 She followed the schedule we provided and she sent photo and picture updates throughout their time together, which was great. Boone made a new friend so we’ll be sure to book Isabelle again!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give to every dog in my care. 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. For me, pet care is more than a job—it’s something I truly enjoy and care about. 🐾 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and any specific care each pet may need, always making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I’m also organized and reliable, so following routines, schedules, and special instructions is something I take seriously. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love creating a safe, loving, and calm environment for them. 🐾 I provide attentive, loving, and reliable care in my client’s home, always making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, routines, and any special needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship, as well as calm time when needed. I also respect the client’s home by keeping everything clean, organized, and as it was when I arrived. I pay close attention to details and make sure pets are well cared for at all times. My goal is to give pets the same love and care they would receive from their owners, so they feel happy and secure while their family is away. 🐾
“Amy visited our house daily to feed and play with Tilly while we were out of town. She provided prompt and friendly communication and made sure everything she needed to care for Tilly was addressed. Amy’s reliability allowed us to relax just that much more on our vacation knowing that our pup was happy in good hands.”
About: Over the past 10 years , I have gained extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I have developed a strong understanding of canine behavior and needs. I am currently a para at preschool. Off for the next 2 weeks will be working summer program Monday -Thursday 8-1 am very flexible with any time I’m not working. I can crate dog if required but we do have outdoor leash with long distance. Normally we take dog to park to play or stay in the ac to play
“She was amazing! Stress free during our trip, because of her. Excellent with dogs. Just a good person that's skilled with animals and you can trust!! Highly recommend!!!”
“Carlie is FABULOUS! She had quality visits with my two dogs, and provided thorough, insightful honest feedback about how each was doing. One is an elder requiring heart meds. He showed some signs of stress on one of her visits which she described to a T. She had the good judgement to give him a pee and poo break but forego the walk with him. Next visit he was great. Based upon her feedback I felt completely confident that they were in the best possible hands. Carlie is a vet tech, and this added skill/ experience was obvious in how she handled things. She is a woman of kind and gentle temperament and great skill. I could not recommend her more highly. THANK YOU CARLIE!”
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.
“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!”
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.

Sarah was a life saver!! The day I had to leave for NH my babysitter had to bail, I scrambled to find someone to care for my sweet little lady Penny 🐈 and Sarah came that SAME afternoon to drop in and take care of her for us. Amazing! Penny takes a long while to warm up to people, but within a few days she was giving Sarah head bumps, which really proves that Sarah has great vibes!! I’m so relieved and thankful! 😌 💜
Hayley’s care for my elderly cat Alvin was extraordinary. Her visits to my home and her excellent care allowed me the freedom to truly be on vacation. Hayley was reliable and her care exactly as I would do when home! I recommend her highly and will definitely rely on her care in the future!
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!
This is our first time using Isabelle. She's wonderful! Our dog is elderly, mostly deaf and quite neurotic. He's also a picky eater. When we met to go over the arrangements, after a few minutes of shyness, Luckie decided Isabelle is his new best friend. She showed up on time, fed him and walked him, and played with him. When I arrived home, Luckie sprang to his feet and raced towards the door but when he saw that it was me instead of Isabelle, the spring in his step and the wag in his tail went away immediately. The fact that my dog was disappointed not to see Isabelle again is a testament to the great job she does!
Autumn is an amazing cat sitter. She is reliable, caring, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our cat was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for when we got home. She kept us updated, paid attention to the little details, and treated our pet like her own. We would absolutely recommend Autumn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tori did a fantastic job pet sitting for us while we were away last week. Our kitties were happy and well cared for, and we came home to a house that was spotless—which I REALLY appreciated, especially since I’m very particular about litter being tracked around!! 😜 She was reliable, attentive, and clearly took great care of both our pets and our home. We felt totally at ease while we were away and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Kayla was truly phenomenal taking care of our cats. She was on time for every appointment and very communicative each day. She even got one of our cats, who never comes out for strangers, to come out for the visit and ensure she was cared for. We are very happy with Kayla and would absolutely book her in the future.
Jamie was excellent with our 2 cats while we were away for 2 weeks. He came for daily visits to care for their needs and provided us with updates and pictures after each visit. This is at least our fifth time using Jamie and Danae and we would highly recommend them.
Will is kind, communicative, punctual and trustworthy. He was great taking care of my pets and I wouldn’t hesitate to have him again. I felt great knowing he was taking care of them when I was far away traveling. I’d highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a great pet sitter.
Nicole is BY FAR the best care provider we have EVER met! She’s always prompt, polite, professional, & friendly. Her expertise & skill-sets in Veterinary Care are added benefits for piece of mind to have, and incredibly rare to find. We will only be asking her to care for our dogs & cats in the future; whether it be a single drop-in, multiple visits, or anything else. 5 stars is not enough!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,373 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Danbury. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Danbury stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Danbury. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
