About: I have taken care of all sorts of dogs—young, old, big, small, pullers, you name it. I will take care of your pets as I do my own. I work from home, so I’m available around the clock for taking care of your pets. I live in the Fairfield County area, so I’m available to help you out with your pets! I live in a house with roommates, but I have a floor to myself. I have a cat at home, so I can provide a feline companion during boardings.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and now my love has grown even more. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for friends and family. I deal a lot with active dogs since I have two Siberian husky of my own and a Mutt mix. Im currently working part time-usually available every mornings, mid day depending on the week, weekends available all day once booked in advance sometimes flexible if booked late, and definitely available overnight at anytime. I can do anywhere in Greenwich, Stamford, Darien, Norwalk, Westport and Southport. I will treat your furry pets as they are like mine. I will communicate with you- if the dogs need extra attention, medicine, more walks, take them to their favorite place I will do it. I will always be transparent with you. I want your pets to not be stress when you leave the house - I will be another best friend that they can play with.
About: I’ve dog and cat sat for family and friends for years, and they always have a great time with me, lots of play, cuddles, and love. I’m responsible, very clean, and respectful of boundaries as a guest in your home. I have two dogs of my own (a pit bull and a miniature schnauzer), so I understand different personalities and needs. I don’t play favorites, I love all pets! Pet care fits easily into my routine since I’m home often and flexible with my schedule. I make time each day for walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles, so your pet always gets consistent attention and love. In my own home, I keep a safe, comfortable space where pets can relax and play, with my dogs for company if it’s a good match. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, keep everything clean, and double-check that doors and gates stay secure so pets can’t get out. Either way, every pet gets the same love, attention, and respect I’d give my own.

About: I've had three dogs in my life. One turned 17 this year. She's a happy old lady but does require some medications that I have learned to administer and I make sure they are given on time and properly. I enjoy taking my pups on long walks on nice days. Aside from my personal dogs I have spent time house and dog sitting for two other people with various different dog types with different personalities. For one of these people, she is also a dog sitter and I assisted her in one emergency situation where she needed needed me to stay the weekend and care for the five dogs in her care plus her two minor children. I work full time with set hours Monday - Friday. I'm free weekends. Early morning walks are easily done but afternoon walks are after 4. Depending on location, how close a location is to my job, I do have a 30min lunch where I can run out and give a quick walk. For my personal dog I tend to do a good long walk in the morning and another good long walk after 4 to make up for the long day. I've never worried about bathroom accidents with her. I love dogs. That's just a fact. I protect them anyway I can. I have gone out to look for neighborhood lost dogs, I have seen paw prints, but no shoe prints, in the snow during a snow storm and I went out searching for what I was sure was a lost escaped dog. Before leaving my house, I do a scan to make sure there's nothing dangerous out that my dog could access, hanging cords, small items, loose treats, etc... to make sure she's always safe.
About: I will take care of your dogs as if they were mine. I will become your doggos bff until your back home! I will also make sure to send lots of pictures :) I will be available on weekends and week nights. It would be very important to me to meet your dog before sitting so they know me before sitting. I do not have any pets. I recently lost my beautiful Choco to cancer. He was a beautiful brown golden doodle but looked more like a brown golden retriever. I have a small fenced yard and the neighborhood I am in is very quiet and pet friendly.
About: Since growing up, I have always had family dogs. I have always walked and watched my own dogs, as well as friends and family. Since returning home from Upstate NY, Im looking to get back into spending time with animals. I am a full time teacher, so my availability is afternoons, and all weekends! I am generally available from around 4pm until late at night, and any time on the weekends. If there are vacations or days off from a school calendar, I also can work around those. I treat all my clients homes with the utmost respect. i am there for one job and one job only, and I know that. I will make sure my clients inside and outside is just as they have found it. I treat my clients with the love I would give to my own fur babies!!
About: I love dogs; I treat them as if they were another child in my family. They are always by my side, and I make sure they are doing well. I have a morning job, so I'm free in the afternoon to look after your dog—I love sleeping with them. I’m also free on Fridays and Saturdays to care for them. I take them for walks and make sure they drink water and eat well. I give them plenty of affection, always looking out for their well-being and making sure they feel right at home.
About: Hi, I’m Lindsay! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs with a variety of personalities, needs, and energy levels. I understand that every dog is unique, and I love creating a safe, comfortable, and positive experience for each animal I care for. I’m also a proud rescue dog owner to my Chihuahua Jack Russell mix, who has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s individual personality. Through my own experience, I’ve learned how important it is to build trust, create a sense of security, and provide compassionate care. I have experience with daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding routines, playtime, administering medications, and providing attentive companionship. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and committed to following each pet parent’s instructions closely to maintain their dog’s normal routine. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, a calm visit, medication support, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pet and provide the dependable, loving care they deserve!
About: I have taken care of my neighbors, family's, and friend's dogs since I can remember. Whether it be feeding, walking, playing, or ensuring daily care and routine in their lives while their owner is away, I have always been able to shown the additional furry family member the love and care they deserve and need. I am currently a working part-time student on summer break from university. So I have the extra time to be the helping hand you need to help take care of your pets when necessary, whether it be drop-in visits or taking them on a much deserved walk. Ensuring the safety of your four-legged loved one is of the upmost importance and as a pet care provider I like to ensure their safety and comfort through proper care. Such as following any additional comments left by pet owners, taking the extra step to make sure your pet is comfortable while playing in their own yard or enjoying a nature stroll, and also taking the extra step as a pet care provider to watch out for any signs that your pet might be in distress and addressing the situation in a quick and calm manner which ensures the best experience for your loved one.

About: Dogs have always been much more than pets to me they’re genuinely one of my biggest interests. Along with caring for my own dog, I have professional experience working at a dog boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, routines, and energy levels. I’m especially interested in canine wellness, enrichment, and nutrition. With my own dog, I enjoy making homemade treats, preparing enrichment activities, and finding creative ways to keep him happy, active, and engaged. I bring that same level of attention to the dogs I care for. Whether I’m walking your dog, checking in, or staying with them, I want their time with me to actually add something positive to their day not just meet the bare minimum. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to make plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine for walks, feeding, playtime, and check ins. I can also discuss specific times and availability depending on what you and your pet need. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, especially in your own home. I’ll always follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, boundaries, or routines. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

“We had a great experience with Jessica. She's reliable, responsive, and clearly cared about Hana. We really appreciated the updates and photos. Would absolutely book again and recommend to others!”

“Caitlin has been so wonderful to our boy Wally! He’s an active little guy with some bad puppy habits and we really appreciate Caitlins patience and time with him. We’re excited to work with Caitlin moving forward for regular drop in visits. We’d totally recommend her to any and all prospective clients!”


“Sonia did a great job with Scout on her drop-in visit. She sent us a photo as well as their walk path and made us feel reassured that he was happy. I would definitely use Sonia again!”

“Loren was awesome. We were away for 3 days and she took such great care of our Apollo who got sick while we were away and he loved her upon meeting her. We were happy to have found her. Book her!!”


About: I bring several years of professional pet-sitting experience to every visit. I worked as a cat sitter with Katie’s Kitty of New York City before becoming the company’s Queens manager, where I helped oversee both pet care and a team of sitters. In the time I have lived in Fairfield County, I have had three rescue cats and two large breed dogs. I’m experienced with cats of all personalities, from outgoing and playful to shy, cautious, and independent, and I understand how important it is to respect each animal’s individual routine and comfort level. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs, including large breeds, and have plenty of firsthand experience with the needs and personalities of big dogs. Most importantly, I know that having someone care for your pet means trusting them with a beloved member of your family and with your home. I take that responsibility seriously. You can expect dependable, attentive care, good communication, plenty of updates and photos, and lots of affection when your pet wants it! I currently have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate morning, daytime, and evening visits throughout the week. I keep my service area relatively close to home so I can be dependable, punctual, and give each visit the time and attention it deserves. My availability can vary with my professional schedule, but I keep my Rover calendar up to date and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to. Once I’m booked to care for your pet, you can count on me to be there! I love and care for the pets I sit for as if they were my own. I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s beloved pet and home very seriously, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they are in caring, capable hands. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and maintain the routines their pets know, from feeding and medications to walks, playtime, litter care, and companionship. Safety is always a priority. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, food restrictions, and anything else that could affect your pet’s well-being. I also pay close attention to behavior and will let you know if I notice anything unusual. My years working professionally in pet care have taught me how much trust is involved in giving someone access to your home and putting a beloved pet in their care. I treat both with tremendous care and respect. You can expect reliable communication, plenty of updates and photos, and most importantly, a pet who is genuinely loved and cared for while you’re away.
About: Hi everyone!! My name is Elizabeth, and I have been surrounded by animals from the day I was born. I grew up with a Yorkshire terrier, and then by the time I was 8, my parents got me a dog of my own. I have also had several hamsters and gerbils during my childhood, as well as a Russian tortoise. In high school, I did my senior internship at PAWS in Norwalk, CT where I was responsible for taking care of the cats. Through PAWS, I also fostered 5 kittens at my house for a few months during the summer. Now, I have 2 dogs, a hamster, and a tortoise, and I am very caring and responsible for my pets. I also have lots of experience with dog walking and pet sitting! I graduated from college in May, so I have lots of free time to walk dogs and pet sit during the week and on the weekends. I am very capable of catering to any sort of pet situation. I am very responsible with my animals and other people’s animals, and I am also very trustworthy.

Patricia went above and beyond! We felt so comfortable having her stop by to care for Riley. She was prompt, communicative, and went above and beyond making sure everything was good for Riley (and us) while we were away. Will definitely be using her again if we need and highly recommend to others!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Darien 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!
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
