“Amazing serves as always. I so thankful to know when I have to be out town all the babies are well taken care of and loved. They always go above and beyond for our family.”
“Raven did an outstanding job of watching over our five cats while we were on vacation. One of them was a new addition that had some GI issues (I guess we didn’t catch it before we left) that she cleaned up after, and kindly offered to take to the vet. We got photos and updates every time she went over, she was very responsive and good with the cats. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone else in town!”
“Kaylee was wonderful with my two cats while I was out of town. She communicated with me and sent pictures each time she was at the house with them. I will definitely request her services again.”
“Absolutely wonderful! Brooke was easy to meet with and very diligent in checking on our fur babies. She definitely made it easier to go out of town when I didn't have to worry about them.”
“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!”
“Lahra is amazing and very caring. This is the second time using her and I always feel very comfortable knowing Hank is in great hands. I will definitely keep using her.”
About: In my 30 years, I have owned and taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, birds, and reptiles. I have always been an animal lover and often watched pets for neighbors and family friends. I started Rover while I was in college. I work full-time, so while I am happy to take your pet for an evening walk, my work schedule does not allow for walk-only potty breaks during the day and works best with a home that has a backyard for potty. I am still willing to stay in your home and/or stop by before and after my shift, and if time allows during my lunch break. Not only do I take care of your pets, but I be sure to take care of your home as well and leave it cleaner than you left it. *If you are booking boarding with me, please note that there are cats present at my home that will be kept separately upstairs. Your pets will stay in our downstairs area and may be taken on walks if requested. We have a backyard with a short fence. If your dog escapes or likes to dash, I need to be aware of this. Thank you!

About: I grew up taking care of dogs and spending time with other animals such as birds, reptiles and rodents. When I was a 10 years old my father and I partnered together to train a service dog for a family friend. I am an expert in animal behavior and training. As I got older I have been a very reliable and trust worthy person my family and friends have depended on for pet care. I can provide affordable, quality pet care for both dogs and cats. I promise my utmost attention and excellent care to each pet I sit. I am working a part time job and actively taking college courses. I am available for house sitting Sat-Tues, however I work Wed-Fri only being available in the evenings for sitting. I understand how important safety is to every pet owner. I do not board pets but I will take every precaution to ensure your home and pet are safe and secure.
About: I’ve taken care of animals all of my life honestly. I was always told I had a “bee charm” because I’ve never had a bad experience with any animal, even ones others have labeled aggressive or unfriendly. I treat my animals like my babies. They’re people who just don’t speak English to me. I work in the restaurant industry so I don’t work long hours and I’m flexible. My sister is also a rover sister and she spends a lot of time at my house. I have a fenced yard in the back that my dog loves to sun bath in and do his business. I have a nice quiet neighborhood that we love to take walks around. My house is full of love. Me and my children love animals. Some would even say we baby them. My sweet boy sleeps at the end of my bed and when I leave I like to put on a movie or pandora so he doesn’t feel alone.
About: A lifetime pet lover, I have over 20 years' experience caring for cats and dogs. I have fostered both cats and dogs, including puppies, kittens, and senior animals. I was also a volunteer at the Humane Society where I used to live in WA state. Your furry friend(s) will receive customized care in my home or yours. I am home all day, so your pet will receive my complete attention and you will receive lots of communication in the form of pictures and messages. Complete with walks down the river or beach, games and playtime, I will keep your furry family member's tail wagging the whole time you are gone. I am available for pick ups and drop offs as well. As I'm working remotely and with a flexible schedule, I can offer my complete attention with multiple walks and potty breaks throughout the day. This is ideal for anyone still in the training phase. When at my home, your babies will be inside with me or with me outside on a leash, unless we are at a dog park or off-leash friendly area. Cats will stay inside my home. Pets do not need to be in a kennel unless that is your preference.
About: I’ve been working with dogs for years and am currently enrolled in the CATCH Canine Trainers Academy, where I’m expanding my skills in positive reinforcement training, dog behavior, and care. I have hands on experience walking, sitting, and caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including reactive, senior, and anxious pups. I’m passionate about creating a safe, peaceful space where your dog can feel relaxed and at home, whether you need me for an overnight trip, a weekend away, or something longer. I’ll treat your pup like my own and make sure you feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’m a full-time pet care provider with a flexible schedule, so your dog will always have someone present, attentive, and loving nearby. I’m usually home throughout the day, making it easy for me to provide consistent care, potty breaks, and companionship. Your dog becomes part of my daily rhythm, calm mornings, enrichment time, relaxing evenings, and lots of love in between. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and a low stress environment. I provide a quiet, structured routine that works especially well for sensitive or anxious dogs during your time away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 12! Neighbors, friends, and family relied on me to watch, walk and feed their pets. As a fitness enthusiast I enjoy daily walks and runs, especially when I can bring a furry friend along! I’m currently working from home so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I can take breaks as needed to go for walks, feeding and play time any day, all day. I have an apartment home that is pet friendly with a friendly cat of my own! I can easily separate my cat from your fur baby as needed. There is a gated dog area within walking distance from my home!
About: Hi! My name is Jordan, and I would be honored to be your pet sitter. I am a passionate animal lover with experience providing both overnight/in-home pet sitting and drop-in visits for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I have had a blast caring for my neighbors’ dogs, friends’ pets, and other local families' furry companions. Through positive experiences and word-of-mouth referrals, I have continued to gain pet-sitting opportunities by networking and building relationships within my community. In addition to pet sitting, I have hands-on experience potty training puppies from raising two of my own. I am also especially comfortable working with anxious dogs, as I have an anxious dog myself and understand the patience, consistency, and reassurance they need to feel safe and comfortable. I take pride in making sure every dog feels happy, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away, and I treat each pet as if they were my own. I am currently working a very flexible job, so I would have lots of time to check on your pups! I have pretty much full availability for the summer except for one trip from June 29 through July 2. When caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, potty breaks, fresh water, and feeding according to the owner's instructions. I also make sure pets receive lots of affection and companionship so they feel secure while their family is away. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including puppies who are still learning routines and anxious dogs who may need extra patience and reassurance. Because I have raised two puppies and have an anxious dog of my own, I understand the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and individualized care. Communication is extremely important to me. I value keeping owners updated with messages, photos, and check-ins, and I want pet parents to feel confident that their dog is receiving excellent care. I always follow the owner's preferences and instructions, and I make sure any decisions regarding their pet are discussed with them whenever possible. My goal is to work as a team with each owner to ensure every choice is in the best interest of their pup's health, happiness, and well-being.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Darien on Rover is $22.2 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 169 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Darien. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Darien 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
