“Angela did a wonderful job watching our dog. She came 3 times a day for walks and feeding. We could tell that Leine was well taken care of. Definitely will use Angela and River again.”
“Ann was fantastic with our pups. At just a year old, they're still learning so much and she has a natural way with dogs. They (and we) really enjoyed meeting her and we're looking forward to future visits!”
“Caraline was absolutely outstanding. She was reliable, professional, communicative, and took excellent care of Luna while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Luna and treated her as if she were her own pet. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and caring, I highly recommend Caraline. Luna and I would gladly book with her again in the future. Thank you for everything! 🐾😊”
“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.”
“Stephanie is great! She was able to relax my kitty before giving him ear drops, she gave him his pills and takes great care of my kitty. Her communication eases any anxiety of leaving my pet when I travel, and I always know he’s in great care.”
“Amanda saved the day when we had a sitter back out. She was flexible and took wonderful care of our dogs while we were away by visiting. She sent some of the best photos we have of our dogs. They were well cared for and we will definitely trust Amanda again in the future!”
“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!”
“Tracy such a sweet person, she always takes such good care of buddy and I am very fortunate to have found her through this app. She has been a huge help for me with my very hectic work schedule.”
“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!”
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!
“We know our kiddos are in good hands with Juliana; she takes great care of them and is always sure to give them loves and pets and playtime while we are away. Thanks, Juliana!”
“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.”
About: I specialize in reliable morning pet care that fits busy work and school schedules. I’m available weekdays from 9 AM to 12 PM, which makes me a great fit for mid-morning dog walks, drop-in visits, and consistent weekly routines. I’m especially good at caring for dogs who need calm, patient handling and a steady routine. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, comfort, and safety, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I’m also comfortable with senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or medication reminders (as directed by the owner). I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and not rushed during visits. What sets me apart is that I focus on consistency and trust—many pets do best with the same walker on a regular schedule, and I aim to build that long-term relationship with both pets and owners. Pet care fits into my routine during weekday mornings from 9 AM to 12 PM, which is my dedicated availability window. During this time, I focus on dog walking and drop-in visits, making it easy for pet owners who need help while they are at work or busy with the day. I plan my schedule around consistency, so I can provide regular weekly visits for the same pets whenever possible. This helps animals feel more comfortable and keeps their routine stable. I’m organized and reliable, so I make sure I always arrive on time and give each pet full attention without rushing between visits. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. My focus is always on safety, trust, and following each owner’s instructions exactly. I make sure doors, leashes, and gates are secure at all times and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. During visits, I supervise pets closely, especially during walks, feeding, or outdoor time. I respect each home and keep everything clean and organized, including cleaning up after pets during walks or drop-in visits. I also pay attention to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate immediately with the owner if something seems off. I understand that trust is very important when entering someone’s home, so I am responsible, respectful, and careful with both the pet and the property.
“I know Millie is in good hands when Jessica comes over. Jessica will always leave me a note and pictures of Millie which I am grateful for. She is reliable and prompt and takes great care of our fur baby.”
“Anna has been amazing to coordinate with and scheduling drop in visits on our 4 month old puppy during our long work days. She is excellent with communicating with us and has made us feel completely safe with entrusting the care of our puppy to her. We will continue to use Anna for our future pet care needs.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Darien
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
- 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.
