“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!”
“I rebooked Diana’s service. Again she took care of our cat carefully. She always spent sometime with our cat. It seems she has an ability to let Kuma, our cat open and close to her and show the sweet side. Thank you for letting our travel more relaxed without worrying Kuma alone at home.”
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.
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.
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.
“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! ❤️”
“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!!”
About: I’ve taken care of people’s pets over the past 15 years happily and willingly. Building a connection with them so they feel safe while you are away is a priority! I also work with kids, so I spend my time taking care of others loved ones every single day! I am currently off of work for the summer. I am doing very part time work during the week- so before or after that is when I am available! I am also open weekends I am no stranger to getting to know the ins and outs of others routines, habits, and schedules. I will happily follow along with what works best for you and your pets
“Linda was absolutely wonderful!! She got to know Luna and gave her lots of care when I was away. Taking into account all her favorite toys, treats and care to meet her so she would feel comfortable. Would definitely rebook!! Thank you!!”
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
“FANTASTIC. took so much love and care to my fuzzy babies. Will be using her exclusively to check on our babies as needed 🫶🏻 even was able to give my difficult kitty her oral medications.”
About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and experience caring for pets of all kinds. I previously worked at a veterinary office, have house sat for friends and family, and volunteer at my local shelter in my free time. Along with cats and dogs, I also have experience caring for chickens, ducks, and reptiles. I am available in the mornings from 6am-10am and afternoon starting at 3pm. Free all day Sundays and can make time in my schedule for all day availability on Saturdays with advanced notice. I also make my own schedule at work so i am pretty flexible. I respect animals and am very attentive to their body language and individual needs. I love spending time and playing with them, and I’m comfortable handling all pet care responsibilities, including cleaning up outdoors or maintaining litter boxes. I can also follow specific feeding schedules and dietary instructions to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy.
“Melissa made us feel so comfortable knowing our dog was being so well taken care of. Her updates and pictures are great. She is reliable and compassionate. Thank you Melissa!”
“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!”
“Rachel was awesome and kept us updated while we were gone and appreciate all the love she gave our cats. It allowed us to enjoy our trip without stressing about our two cats.”
“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

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!
Lily cared for my kitty, also named Lily while I was out of town. My kitty needed medication twice a day, and Lily did a great job of making sure all doses were administered as needed. I was able to relax without worry. Lily was kind enough to even water my outdoor plants during the heatwave. I truly appreciate her help, she is very responsible, provided great feedback, followed all directions, is very nice and flexible. I highly recommend Lily as a sitter for your beloved pet.
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!
Margaux was so great at dropping in to check on our cat, Danny, while we were away. She gave comprehensive report cards and diligently followed directions given. On top of that, she asked thoughtful questions about our pet that indicated she truly understood and cared about animals. We would love to have Margaux care for our Danny again!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Danbury on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 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 .

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
- 96% 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.
