“Ann is so kind. She’s able to help my boyfriend and I out on a weekly basis when we have work conflicts. We are new to the area so she has been extremely helpful in our work/life transition. She has never failed to be there for our pups to let them out and give them love. Wonderful woman!”
“We needed someone to drop by the house and let our 2 big dogs out for several days and wanted to give Rover a try. I met with Stephanie beforehand and exchanged a house key. She was courteous, respectful and responsible! I highly recommend booking with Stephanie! She sent daily pics of the dogs and gave a glowing review of their behavior and how her visit went. This made me so happy that they were well taken care of while I was away. I was reassured that my dogs were in great hands and that Stephanie was capable of handling these bullies. Thank you a million!”
“I’d give Ashton 10/5 stars if I could… this was my first time booking with her and I honestly could not be more impressed with her updates, communication, and problem solving. Thank you, thank you, Ashton!”
“Caraline is amazing, we were so happy with how she took care of my two cats and are so excited to have her watch them again later this month. She is so patient, always sends photos and updates, follows every care instruction and brings so much peace of mind while traveling or being anxiously away from your pets. Her calm energy and love for animals has even made my extremely timid cat open up and initiate contact and play with her. She left areas cleaner than they were found and was eager to help outside of what was initially asked, including cleaning up cat litter/waste my cats dragged outside of their litter boxes without asking. I definitely recommend her and will be using her as a regular cat sitter!”
“Sam is our regular dog sitter now and we are so happy to have found her. Her drop in visits are so busy for the time she is with our puppy- he gets so much attention and love.”
“As always, Veronika went above and beyond for our boy. He recently got diagnosed with asthma, and before this trip, since she previously had not worked with an asthma kitty, she came over to learn how to give our cat his inhaler, and from what I have heard, he tolerated her giving him his inhaler twice a day very well. She is always so gentle with him and he loves her!”
“Amanda is always so reliable and helpful. She took great care of our cat this trip and brought our cans back up on trash day. We definitely strongly recommend her!”
“Erin always provides exceptional care for our 6-year-old greyhound, Happy. Erin showers Happy with affection and makes sure she has fresh water, a treat, and clean feet. During this muddy weekend, I really appreciated that. Erin was kind enough to alter her visit time when my schedule changed at the last minute. Because Erin is kind, professional, and flexible, I can confidently recommend her services. Erin is always our first choice for care.”
“John was wonderful with our energetic boxer puppy! I highly recommend him. When we came home, she greeted us with excitement and love as usual. Then she ran around our house looking for her new friend, John!”
“Julie is so great to work with. We had a complex case with a pup having a recent broken leg, and everything went well. We immediately felt confident and comfortable having Julie in our home while we were away!”
“Tracy was great with drop-ins for our two dogs. One of our dogs is dealing with a medical issue and she helped us out with our feeding schedule. She was great with the dogs. They loved her and Tracy was very reliable.”
“Juliana took great care of our 4 cats while we were gone for a week over the Christmas holiday. While it's hard to be away from our furballs, knowing they are in great hands with Juliana makes it bearable. She ensures our oldest gets his medicine twice a day and takes time play and snuggle with each of the kiddos when she visits. She also keeps all the litter boxes immaculate, which we know the cats very much appreciate. When we have questions or concerns, Juliana is responsive and quick to work through anything. Do not hesitate to book her--she will care for your babies as if they were her own!”
“Jessica was wonderful! Super great with communication, very sweet, and took really great care of our kitties and especially at late notice! We’re really glad to work with her and will be using her again soon! Thank you Jessica!! 🩷”
“Lauren is so fantastic! She is always on time, treats my dog like her own, and gives great reports & pictures at each visit. I highly recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs!!”
About: I am a happy owner of 3 large dogs- goldendoodles and a labradoodle, along with a cat and a rabbit! I love animals and love being around them and playing with them. I used to co-own an in-your-home pet care business called Mollycoddles. I make trips daily to people's houses to take care of their pets while they're at work or on vacation. I have experience with dogs off all sizes, ages, and conditions. I took a break during 2025 to focus on a new career and just moved to the Darien area from Lisle- so I’m ready to meet some Darien/Willowbrook/DG pups and cats! I work from home most days and care for pets in the mornings or during your lunch breaks! Late night visits can also be arranged with repeat clients! During the summer. Hours can be flexible for visits, especially on weekends. All services will be done in your home- I will travel to you and your pup or cat and take care of them there! No worries of having to pack bags or overnight items. Potty breaks and walks are the best for working paw-rents!
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Darien is $21
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Darien
Caraline was great with our two cats! She was very responsive the whole time and provided great updates and pictures! She also saw that our cats have very different personalities and she tailored her care for both of them. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!
Hande has always been consistently amazing and we can rest assured that she takes fantastic care of our cats. I can keep talking about everything she diligently does, but I feel the greatest compliment that I can give her is the fact that our cats are always excited to see her!
Megan is the best! She has watched our two dogs, two cats and leopard gecko multiple times. She is super reliable, very communicative, and just a delight with the animals. My only hesitation in writing this review is that she will book up and won’t be available for our numerous last minute requests!
As always, Veronika went above and beyond for our boy. He recently got diagnosed with asthma, and before this trip, since she previously had not worked with an asthma kitty, she came over to learn how to give our cat his inhaler, and from what I have heard, he tolerated her giving him his inhaler twice a day very well. She is always so gentle with him and he loves her!
We hired Anna to care for our cat while we were on vacation and she exceeded our expectations! She was very easy to work with, very trustworthy and professional, and very communicative. Anna sent us daily updates with photos, which gave us peace of mind that our cat was in good hands, and she took the time to make our cat felt comfortable while we were away. I would definitely recommend Anna if you are looking for a reliable and experienced pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Darien on Rover is $21.09 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 5,877 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

- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
