“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! ❤️”
“Rachael was incredibly responsive and was so wonderfully flexible helping me out in a last minute scramble. She was very attentive with my cats and they loved having her drop in! Would definitely recommend.”
“Hayley was an amazing cat sitter!! My shy, special needs kitty is certainly not an easy one to manage, but she handled everything like a pro! She kept us updated and made sure to send lots of photos. Highly recommend her for your sitter needs!”
“Tinaclem was awesome! Annie is my “dogter” and I am extremely careful about where I leave her. From the beginning, I felt comfortable with Tinaclem, her family and her backyard 😍. Annie has a great time at her relaxation escape! I got daily updates, she went on walks, and kissed Tinaclem goodbye. I am so grateful I found someone trustworthy to watch her in the Danbury area … now I just need someone for my human daughter 😂. I full heartedly recommend Tinaclem! Thank you!!”
“Diana is a great cat sitter. She loves our cat Kuma genuinely always petting her for a while. Kuma feels comfortable with her. We love the pictures Diana took. They’re artistic and cool. Thank you Diana for letting us travel relaxed without worrying too much about Kuma.”
“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: I’ve always loved animals and grew up with 3 dogs and 5 cats. I’ve also owned a dog and currently help care for my aunt’s diabetic cat, including giving him insulin twice a day. I’m responsible, caring, and dependable, and I would treat your pets like they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members! 🐾❤️ I work full-time as a paraeducator for Danbury Public Schools from 8 AM–3 PM. I’m available after work and would love to provide loving, reliable care for your pets in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. 🐾 I’m happy to care for your pets in my home or in your home, depending on what works best for you and your pet. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“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!!”
“Rhea was absolutely wonderful with my cat while I was away! She visited twice a day, sent me lots of adorable pictures, and always left little notes with updates. She spoiled him with extra playtime and treats, and I could tell he was so happy and comfortable in her care. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. I would definitely book with Rhea again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter!”
“Sarah was wonderful. She was great with my cats and I felt reassured while on vacation knowing that they were being taken care of while I was out of town. I will definitely be booking Sarah again in the future.”
“Stephanie is amazing! She's super attentive, does everything you ask, goes above and beyond, and treats your babies like her own! I will definitely be re-booking her in the future.”
“Keely was great with our pups. Calm and patient and understands not every dog is the same. Was great at communicating and will be booking her again. Thank’s for everything Keely and best of luck!”
“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!”
“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.
“We had a great experience with Linda ! She was incredibly reliable and kept us updated with pictures and messages after every visit, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for Lola and Lia and we came home to a happy, well cared for our fur babies . We would definitely recommend her and plan to use her services again”
“Jenn is an outstanding dog walker. She has great training skills taught our puppy how to ‘leave it’ and reinforces other good behaviors. She is reliable and trustworthy. We strongly recommend her!!!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Danbury is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Danbury
This was our first time using Bell through Rover, and we couldn’t have had a better experience! 🤍 Ocean immediately felt comfortable with her, and I could tell right away how much he liked her. She was so sweet, caring, and attentive with him, which made me feel completely at ease. It’s such a great feeling to find someone you can trust with your pup. We would absolutely love to have Bell watch Ocean again! 🐶🤍
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! 😌 💜
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Danbury on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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.
