“Ann provided outstanding care to our two cats. Both needed meds and she administered them perfectly. She sent notes and pictures on every day of her visits. She kept the house and cat boxes neat and clean. I totally recommend Ann and hope she can help us in the future.”
“Hande cared for my elderly calico while I was hospitalized andkk no in rehab. My cat, who is shy, loved Hande’s gentle ways and thrived in her care. She ate well and was happy while I was gone and happy when I returned. I would recommend Hande to anyone!”
About: I love animals and want to help you care for them the easiest and most efficient way possible. If you are looking to book or schedule me please note I can only do any clients that are at least 35 minutes away or less. (Unless I am positive I can walk your pal if you are a bit farther than usual and I am able to do bookings) In prior to booking me please let me know your furry friends quirks, habits, personality and any kind of other information I would need to know about your pet pal! I can work any time between September 14-September 24 and then I am unavailable from September 25- October 2. After October 2 I am available again any time and day of the week. Please tell me what you’d like for your dog/cats walk or drop in and let me know how they are with strangers. As well let me be aware if any animals don’t get along or shouldn’t get out and to inform me if your dog is aggressive/ shy/ nervous / or playful to other dogs. I will make it clear I do not do off leash walking for safety of your dog other dogs and myself. :)
“Stephanie is great! She’s goes above and beyond for your pets and their safety. Our remote garage closer wasn’t working so she drove back to manually close it. Extremely grateful for her professionalism and kindness.”
“Amanda took excellent care of our two cats! She kept us up to date with pictures and details during each visit. It’s such a relief to not have to worry about our pets while we’re away. We will definitely be booking Amanda for all our future trips!”
“Melanie is absolutely amazing with my cats! My younger shy-guy kitty is very skiddish/nervous around people & he warmed up to her very quickly. She always relays the sweetest updates & I feel so lucky to have found her this summer as every trip I felt so assured that they were well-taken care of with Melanie :)”
“Sam was very kind and helpful! Gary warmed up to her right away. She was able to help us out last minute so we could spend time with family for the holidays! Thank you, Sam!”
“Great experience with Tracy! Cleo, the cat, would lie on her back with legs outstretched during Tracy's visit demonstrating trust and affection. She was well cared for with petting, food, brushing and play. The house was in good order when I returned home. I highly recommend Tracy.”

I treat every pet with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available for drop-in visits on weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. With advance notice, I can also accommodate special schedules and multiple visits per day.

About: I have taken care of my family dog and cat for 13 years. We had a yorkie and bengal cat growing up and recently got a lab. My family cat had epilepsy and I helped administer a pill he takes twice a day. I am currently working full time and would love to spend my extra time watching your pet. I absolutely love dogs and cats and would have a great time caring for your furry friends! I will utilize all tools needed in caring for your pet. I will play with, feed, and care for your pet.

I will feed your pet, provide regular bathroom breaks, and plenty of time to get out their energy and run around.
“Lauren was an absolutely stellar pet sitter and went above and beyond in making sure our kitties were well cared for when we were on vacation. Would absolutely recommend and use her again!”
“Rebecca was great with my sweet but somewhat temperamental cat! I hadn't been away from the cat for multiple days before so I couldn't help being a little preoccupied with how that would go, but Rebecca was great with her and gave me updates that made it clear she was doing well and I needn't worry.”
About: I'm an active animal lover who loves the company of dogs. I've grown up surrounded by animals-- two chihuahuas and a french bulldog.

I am a student with a car and a very flexible schedule. I have no problem coming to your house frequently to provide all the care your pet(s) need! I abide by the rules and routines set by the pet owner to ensure the pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in my care. I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific instructions related to medications, grooming, or behavioral needs to create the best experience possible!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Darien
Stephanie is absolutely wonderful!! She took such great care of our cat while we were gone for 10 days and was so good about updating us and letting us know how he was doing. She made us feel completely at ease with the whole process and with knowing that our kitty was being so well taken care of. We will certainly be using her again and cannot say enough terrific things about her!
Sam helped me out when I went out of town for 5 days and watched my two bunnies for me! She was great very friendly, had no issues and she listened to my request and sent me updates of how my bunnies were doing, she gave me reassurance and she gained my trust and would definitely be booking her again in the future!
Caraline was absolutely fantastic with my kitty Kiki! We had never left her alone before, so I was a little nervous, but Caraline was so wonderful about giving her the space she needed. By the end, Kiki absolutely loved her! 🥹❤️ She was incredibly attentive the whole time, and I loved getting photos of my sweet girl every day. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Kiki was in such great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! 🐱💕
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Darien on Rover is $20.33 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,890 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
