“Chris was great with my puppy! Very attentive to both my needs and my puppy’s needs during his visits. Great communication and photos to ease my nerves. I’m would highly recommend him for any of your pets needs!!”
“Pam was so great with our two kitties while we were away. She was on time every day and we truly appreciated the extra steps she took like vacuuming and offering to take out the trash. Would definitely book again. Thanks!”
“i never met elvia, only spoke on the phone, making arrangements for my dog. Having never met her, leaving my house keys was honestly a bit uncomfortable for me. however, given her excellent reviews, i decided to just trust and go for it. elvia came exactly on time, fed and played with my dog for a half hour and then left. everything went just as planned. her communication was great, which was essential, and put me at ease. i had a postive experience.”
“Aaron has been an amazing sitter for my pets. I have an older lab and he has worked with him on several behavior issues and I see such a dramatic change in my dog! I highly recommend Aaron not only for pet sitting but training as well.”
“Nina is wonderful. She made me feel so safe leaving my 7 month old puppy. I was able to enjoy my vacation and my dog loved her. She has great character and is an educated woman. I was blessed to find her . I wish she lived closer to me.”
About: I speak Spanish, so feel free to communicate however is better for you! I have personally helped my family and friends with pet sitting since I was a kid. I’ve been scooping poop and petting animals for a long time. I love to be active and can easily adapt if your pet doesn’t. My availability is completely flexible and open to fit your needs! I can be up as early as you need or as late! I currently live with a dog so it is like first nature to provide for your pet’s needs :) As someone who loves animals and also children, certain safety precautions are necessary in my mind. I, also, love to update and share pictures with parents who miss their babies!
“Our cats were very happy when we came back, we got consistent updates and photos, she was communicative and she did what we had asked regarding the care of our kitties as well as keeping our home secure. We recommend booking Patricia, and will use her in the future! Thank you! 😻😻”
“Devora did a great job watching our new rescue puppy for a week while we were away. We are still in training mode and Devora helped a great deal in getting closer to our goal. We highly recommend Devora for your pet sitting needs.”
“Ashley and Mauricio were polite, very easy to communicate with and extremely professional. They were so sweet with my dog and I would 100% recommend using them!”
About: I care for dogs of all different sizes and temperaments and have specialized experience caring for reactive and skiddish doggos. I know how hard it can be but it’s also that much more rewarding. Booking with me you will have peace of mind and your dog will be cared for as if they were my own My schedule is fully flexible so your pets have my complete attention while they are in my care. I try to maintain their typical routine while you’re away to minimize their stress. I provide as much TLC as possible and as a bonus I can reinforce any training you’d like while you’re away. All pups tend to feel very comfortable around me and my experience with even “challenging” temperaments has prepared me to love every unique personality. Regardless of whether you’d like me to spend the night in your home I will be with your dog at least 3 times a day and spend quality time in the home together and exercise outside twice a day in addition to potty breaks
“I am a new Rover user and was nervous about entrusting my 8-month-old puppy to someone I didn't know. But Samantha exceeded expectations in many ways! She clearly loves dogs and was excited to meet my Yogi. She gave him a wonderful walk, made sure he had plenty of water, and even adjusted her schedule to meet our preferred timeline. Yogi was happy as a clam when we got home, and we are thrilled that we now have a reliable sitter to call for future needs.”
About: I've had 3 cats and 2 dogs. My current dog is 13. They've all lived a long, happy life. I would be happy to share my love with animals other than my own. Working part-time allows me time to spend with my dog as well as others. I can accomodate any time Monday-Thursday and limited times Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Whether for the work day or a vacation, I understand that it is stressful to leave your animal alone. I will treat your pets and home as if they were my own. Let's chat to see if we are a good fit.
“Kate is the best! She was very caring to our dog during a weekend trip out of town. She came by promptly and updated us with detailed rover cards. Sunny was very comfortable with Kate- likely due to her kind and calming demeanor. Thank you Kate for treating our baby like your own !!”
About: I have been caring for my clients dogs for over 10 years. I love walking and playing with all animals. I also have my own dog who can be a companion if your dog needs a playmate. I am a fulltime dog walker, have a very flexible schedule and can generally be available on short notice for drop-ins and walks or even on hikes! I am also available for overnight dog/house sitting! All services will be at my clients houses or in their neighborhoods for walks. This allows dogs to be in environments that they are already comfortable with while meeting somebody new.
“Annabel did a great job for my 2 cats while I was away for a week. She sent great pictures and even cleaned up when they got into a treat bag one day. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life — four dogs, a cat, hamsters, and even reptiles, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of animals and personalities. Since I was 10 I’ve taken care of neighborhood dogs, from quick walks to full days of care while owners were away. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I’m currently home for the summer with a flexible schedule, so I can offer consistent care — whether it’s a single walk, daily drop-ins, or a longer house sit. I always leave the home exactly as I found it. I’m currently home for the summer with a flexible part-time schedule, so I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. I’m generally available afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and can often accommodate short-notice requests as well. I’m not able to host pets at my own home, so I focus on drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting at the owner’s home. When caring for pets in their own environment, I follow the owner’s routines and instructions closely, make sure all doors and gates are secure, and keep a close eye on the pet at all times to ensure their safety and comfort.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Darien
Brooke is fantastic! I highly recommend her I left so many confusing instructions about my not-so-friendly, finicky cat and Brooke just rolled with it. Absolutely no judging when I explained that she’d need to open the door, wait a few seconds… then close the door and repeat numerous times until my cat finally agreed to go outside. (My cat is obnoxious) She came to the house even in a snow storm. Brooke really is wonderful and I hope you’ll be lucky enough to have her !
Jill has watched our cats several times over the last few years, and she is always our #1 pick on Rover if she's available. She sends us tons of pictures, plays with them, communicates throughout, and our cats really love her (they are typically shy with strangers, but they always remember Jill). She's the best.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Darien on Rover is $33.3 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,898 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Darien. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Darien. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
