About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have had one or two dogs of my own for most of my life. I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds and personalities and have experience raising dogs from puppyhood, which has given me a lot of patience and confidence with all kinds of behaviors. I’m especially comfortable with high-energy and strong-willed dogs. I’m an active walker and runner, so I’m happy to give energetic pups plenty of exercise through long walks or even jogs. I also have experience with gentle, compassionate leash training for dogs who are still learning. I’m currently puppy-less for the first time and would love to pour that extra love, attention, and energy into caring for your dog as if they were my own. I work from home as a travel advisor and maintain a flexible, self-managed schedule. This allows me to easily accommodate daytime drop-in visits, and I keep my availability updated on a weekly basis. While I’m not able to board pets in my own home, I’m happy to provide frequent drop-in visits or overnight pet sitting in your home, as trust allows. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to follow your established schedule and activities so your dog or cat can maintain a sense of normalcy while you’re away.
“My first time using Rover as I recently moved. What a blessing for Katia P to have looked after my feline ladies these past 4 days! She is very professional, prompt, caring, responsive care giver for my felines ladies. I will ask Karia to oversee my felines ladies again!”
About: My family and I have taken care of two Chihuahuas over the past 20 years. My extended family was raised around dogs so we are always around them. I usually take them on walks as I enjoy doing that myself. I am currently applying for work around the greater Brunswick area. I wouldn’t mind starting with a part-time job which would give me plenty of time to help people with their pets. We have three dogs at home and they are all rescue pets so it brings me joy to take care of them daily. I usually take them on walks when it’s not too hot.
About: I am a local college student with a focus on Early Childhood Education. Animals have been my safe space for as long as I can remember. I have two dogs and a bearded dragon that I consider my family. We love to go for walks and play outside in the sunshine! I am happy to assist with any of your pet needs as my schedule is very flexible! I am a full-time college student and currently only have classes on Tuesday and Thursday. Even with classes two days out of the week, my days/evenings are flexible. I have a fenced in yard and the dogs and I enjoy getting outside to sit in the sun and throw the ball. I also enjoy taking my bearded dragon outside for some natural basking. The dogs and I go for daily walks and we have our daily routine feedings. Baths are given every one to two weeks (depending on how stinky they are).
About: My flexible schedule and love for animals is what sets me apart. I guarantee your pet will be very loved and cared for. I also have experience with taking care of senior dogs that have a hard time walking. Along with experience with younger pets. (If needed: I also have reptile experience) I have a flexible college schedule but I am not allowed to have pets in my dorm. There forth I’ll have plenty of free time to pamper your pet! In order to care for the pet at the owners home; I would alternate my services depending on the pet and owners needs. Every pet is different so I’m willing to do whatever is needed.
About: I have always loved animals and caring for them. I started animal care in highschool starting with pet sitting moving into shelter work. I really enjoyed being able to play with and care for animals of all kinds. Though I have a special love for cats, having three of my own. I truly just enjoy getting to meet and spend time with different animals. I also love being able to get in some exercise of my own while going on walks with dogs.. I’m currently working part time at a doggy daycare. Which gives me plenty of free time to fill! I look forward to filling it with your fur babies! I have a large fenced in yard to spend plenty of outside time in safely with your pet. All dogs must be cat friendly. We are no strangers to couch snuggles too!
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have been caring for pets for over 10 years.

About: I'm 35 years old with 2 dogs myself. I have had a great deal of professional and non-professional pet care and training experience since I was a child on a farm in Northern Vermont 🙂. From raising different horses, pigs, ducks, geese, goats, chickens, and rabbits, I enjoy animals of all shapes and sizes. I can handle big or small and am happy to accommodate and take suggestions 😊 & recommendations anytime. Thank you, looking forward to helping with your safe, healthy & happy pet care experiences. ~Willow I work from home & I can accommodate drop-in visits, dog walks, and more. If you choose my place, I'm proud of my clean one-story home, free of stairs, perfect for older or disabled pets, and an open interior for the more playful ones, too. My pets and I are by nature very routine, and I understand the need to keep your pets' schedule the same to minimise stress, separation anxiety, or any unwanted behavior. I want you to as the pet parent, to feel comfortable just as I want your pet to feel comfortable. If visiting your place, i.e., drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, I will share pet updates and follow all your recommended asks. I am newly located in Sain Marys, Georgia, from Maryland. I am happy to accommodate any special needs your furry friend may have at home. I will follow all your recommendations while being happy to accommodate any special needs. A key to a successful pet care experience is not only maintaining the animal's basic needs but also overdelivering in compassion, time, effort, and patience. All this while keeping your pet's normal routine, just adding me as their guardian at the time of care.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Darien is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $20 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 173 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Darien. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 .
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.

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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
