“Cassandra stepped into caring for our two dogs seamlessly with lots of TLC:) She handled changing a bandage and administering daily medication in addition to posting photos and updates. Her professionalism and caring attitude toward our pets helped us enjoy our time away with family even more:)”


About: Hello all pet lovers! You're in luck! You have found a pet sitter with lots of experience. I love animals so much I want to become a Vet-Tech. My dream is to retire on an Alpaca ranch and raise them. I grew up on a ranch raising cattle and LOTs of other animals. Right now, I care for my Mini Schnoodle Grayson who is very spoiled and a big love bug! I provide lots of loving care for your fur-babies. I can walk your puppy, babysit at your home, or pop in for walks while you are away. Since I love animals, I have rescued countless animals and have nursed them back to health. I've also raised animals via bottle feeding. As a result, that led to healthy pets that eventually went to a happy home. My dog Grayson is a very sweet dog that has been through professional training. We spend a lot of time at the dog park where he is a social butterfly! Grayson is excited to make new friends all the time. I'm excited to meet your fur-baby and are for them as if they're my own. FYI, my Grayson is VERY spoiled :-). My schedule is pretty flexable with only working part-time. I can be available for walks and taking care of your treasured fur baby daily! I will watch your baby, feed them assigned food and take them on long walks. Of course we have to play! I often play fetch with Grayson.

About: I always grew up with dogs and got in to the dog industry 6 years ago. I started at a doggy daycare and eventually got a job training protection dogs. Throughout my professional experience I managed multiple dogs in both a home and facility setting. Ensuring each dog in my care is fulfilled every day is my top priority! I am currently able to provide full-time care for the pets in my home. My life revolves around my dogs and any guest would fit right into my rotating schedule. I have a room dedicated to the pets I am sitting as well as a securely fenced backyard. I will crate and rotate guests with my dogs, unless explicitly friendly, to ensure the safety of all. Any pet in my home is treated as my own!
About: I am a well experienced vet nurse now in undergrad with high hopes for med school! I've been a dog trainer all the way up to ICU nurse. I can handle most any situation so you can leave your home and your babies comfortably with me! I'm going to school online on a self paced basis so pet care is a perfect fit for me and my schedule. My 86 year old neighbor loves my 1 year old miniature poodle Boseman and loves her little farm so long stays away are okay with the both of us. I have my sister's cat for now. She has full range and loves to lay on me and get pets (I'm a professional)
About: I’m a 21‑year‑old college student with experience caring for dogs, cats, and puppies, offering reliable routines, patient support, and attentive, loving care for every pet. As a full‑time college student who only serves one night a week, I have early mornings and night flexibility to give your pets consistent, attentive care. I’ve grown up with many cats and cared for dogs of all ages, including pets with medical needs. In clients’ homes, I follow their routines closely—feeding, playtime, litter or potty breaks, meds if required, and plenty of attention. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and relaxed by maintaining the environment and habits they’re used to.
“Michelle did an amazing job pet sitting/housesitting while we were gone for about 16 days. She would check in with us and send us pictures and videos and made us feel very reassured while we were gone. Even handled the chaos well when things went wrong with our water pump. Very kind and dependable and I would definitely recommend her!”

“Ariella was absolutely fantastic with our dogs and extremely personable throughout this process. She was attentive to their individual needs and quickly built a bond with them. She was proactive in her communication sending photo and text updates daily. We came home to find our dogs and house were incredibly well cared for and the trash was even taken out to the curb. We'll be recommending her to everyone.”

“My husband and I were traveling to Texas for a wedding and I needed a pet sitter for our 2-1/2 year old dog and 5 month old puppy. I found Wendy on Rover and was impressed by her reviews. They were right on! Wendy arrived on time and sent photos and text updates every hour. Our pups were well taken care of and sleeping soundly next to Wendy on the couch when we returned from the wedding. I would highly recommend Wendy and would not hesitate to book her again if we are in the area. Thanks, Wendy for taking such great care of our pups!!”


About: I have my dog since he was a puppy, he is 9 years old now. As a dog owner and cats, I don’t mind to babysit the other owner pets when they are busy. I currently work from home allowing to have time to spend caring for your pet. I am excited to spend time with your pets. We will go on daily walks and I will work to maintain their routines from home while you are away from your furry friend. I have a spacious fenced in yard where I can take your pets to safely play. My home has an extra pet room that they can have for themselves during their stay.
“Jahci did an amazing job with our two girls. One of them is super shy and timid, but warmed up to Jahci right away. She is timely and the communication was great. She took amazing care of our place as well (pretty sure she left the house cleaner than we did!) We have already booked her for a second time and our girls are looking forward to seeing her again!”

“Tatiana was wonderful with our dogs. Would definitely love to use her again. She met us ahead of time to get information and meet the dogs. She took notes to make sure everything was done how we wanted. Lol ckybto have had her watch our fur babies.”

About: Look no further! I have a geniune love for dogs. I understand the importance and relability for your baby. Your pet's safety is my priority. I have been a dog lover my entire life. I recently lost my beloved Mr. Jackson November 2023. We both enjoyed our morning /evening walks together. I can walk you fur baby Monday-Thursday mornings between 7:45 and 8:45 a.m. and some evenings after 6pm. I work remote and will never put your pet in a kennel. Your baby will be able to walk around as if he were in your home. I maintain a clean and secure environment.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for 8+ years, and my passion for animals has grown into a career in veterinary medicine as a veterinary physiotherapist. My professional experience has given me hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, including senior dogs and pets with special needs or mobility challenges. I currently offer house sitting and dog walking. I work a regular daytime schedule Monday–Friday, so my house-sitting routine is built around morning and evening care during the week, with full-day availability on weekends. I’m a great fit for families traveling for vacation who want their pets to stay comfortable in their own home and maintain their normal routine while they’re away. While you’re gone, I’ll keep you updated with daily photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll follow their normal feeding, potty, walking, medication, and exercise routines and treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I work full-time Monday–Friday as a Veterinary Rehabilitation Technician. I provide morning and evening care around my work schedule during the week, and I’m available all day on weekends. I’m especially happy to care for pets while their families are traveling, keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I treat every pet in my care like they are part of the family while respecting their individual needs and routines. My experience working in veterinary rehabilitation has taught me to be attentive to changes in behavior, mobility, energy, and overall comfort. I follow your instructions carefully and prioritize keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and happy in their own home.
“Sarah took great care of our cats while we were on vacation for almost 2 weeks. She stayed at our house and was very responsible and left everything in great condition. She texted us updates while we were gone which made us feel good and reassured! The cats seemed calm and well adjusted once Sarah left. Thank you Sarah for taking such good care or our boys!”


About: What sets me apart? Don't know really.. but I love to sing to your fur babies. As for senior dogs, I can administer any medications they are on. I enjoy massaging pets to sleep! Currently, I work part-time from home and can care for your pets daily, nightly or weekly if necessary with a couple of days of notice. I have a fenced yard and a large crate if your fur baby is crate-trained. Whether in my home or yours, your pet will have my undivided attention.

About: Dogs have been a consistent and meaningful part of my life for years, and caring for animals is something I approach with intention, structure, and deep respect for their individual needs. I began walking neighborhood dogs in high school, cared for my own dog, Lady, for 15 years, and began fostering in 2024 in her honor. Since then, I have fostered 8 dogs, including multiple litters of puppies and adult dogs with a wide range of behavioral, emotional, and medical needs. My experience includes bottle feeding, potty training, basic training, senior care, medical recovery, and working with shy, anxious, reactive, and high-energy dogs. This has given me a strong ability to read behavior, adjust my approach, and create a calm, structured environment that supports each dog’s wellbeing. I currently have cats in my home, and any boarding or in-home care is thoughtfully considered in advance to ensure safe and appropriate compatibility. I prioritize slow introductions, supervision, and clear routines so animals feel secure and stress is minimized. I live an active lifestyle, and dogs in my care receive consistent walks, enrichment, and attention. I am comfortable with crate training, medications, and caring for multiple pets when appropriate, always prioritizing safety, structure, and stability. My approach is simple: thoughtful care, clear communication, and a calm environment where animals feel safe, understood, and well supported. Pet care is intentionally built into my daily routine, and I approach each booking with structure and consistency so pets feel secure and settled. I organize my day around feeding schedules, walks, enrichment, and check-ins, creating a predictable rhythm that supports each animal’s comfort and behavior. I am typically present throughout the day, with occasional short absences for workouts or errands, and I plan my schedule in advance to ensure I can fully meet the needs of each pet I take on. I only accept bookings when I am confident I can provide attentive, reliable care and maintain a calm environment. I provide calm, structured, and highly attentive care rooted in extensive hands-on experience with fosters, reactive dogs, puppies, seniors, and medically complex animals. I currently have cats in my home, so any in-home care is thoughtfully evaluated in advance to ensure safe, appropriate, and stress-free compatibility. I prioritize slow introductions, supervised interactions, and consistent routines to create stability and reduce uncertainty for every animal in my care. I am comfortable with crate training, medications, and supporting a wide range of behavioral needs, and I take care to ensure each pet’s environment is calm, predictable, and well-managed. When caring in a client’s home, I follow established routines closely to maintain continuity and reduce stress, treating each home with respect and professionalism. I accept bookings when I can fully support the needs of the pet and provide the level of care I would expect for my own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,609 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work 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.
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.
