House Sitting in Darien

“Sarah was amazing with our dog who isn’t always the easiest! She followed instructions and was so great with communication and sending lots of pictures. Our house was spotless when we returned as well. I feel like our dog was in great hands the entire time we were gone. She is such a professional and we will definitely contact her in the future when we need a dog sitter!”

“Jess was right on time and took good care of our babies! Our dog got plenty of exercise and seemed very content when we returned. We’ll definitely use her again!”

Rachel B.

“As a first-time River user, we were a bit nervous but Peggy was terrific! She was knowledgeable, patient and understanding with our little nervous guy and they ended up being friends by the end of the weekend. Will definitely use Rover again!”

Elizabeth H.

“Sarah was amazing! Our pup felt very comfortable with her and was treated great! Sarah provided awesome updates and made us feel really comfortable. Will definitely use her again!”

Jalena H.

“Allie had such a great week with Jessica! Was so nice to get updates and pictures while we were gone and came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Definitely recommend Jessica and will definitely be using her again!”

“Deja provided exceptional care for our two dogs over an eight-day period and also took great care of our home. She consistently kept us updated with photos and videos, ensuring we felt reassured that our dogs were in great hands. Upon our return, our home was spotless, reflecting her attention to detail and professionalism. We will be rebooking Deja for all our future travels.”

“Honestly, Sam was amazing and one of the best sisters we had in the last ten years. We love the picture updates and could tell that our Chihuahuas and Corgi loved her. It sometimes take a little time for small dogs to feel secure with a new person. They warmed up to her so quickly. We definitely recommend her Sam to anyone. 🥰🥰🥰”

Justin C.

“Mac and Gio seemed to have a really great time! They seemed happy, they ate well, and they were able to stay with their daily routine which really helps with 2 of them.”

Stefanie S.

“Arianna was the BEST! She stayed at my home to watch my 12 year old dog and housesit. My dog had some digestive issues, and Arianna went over and beyond to clean up the messes. She was in constant communication with me and I would highly recommend her for any job. Very pleased with her and will be happy to provide her a reference!”

Judi S.

“Danica is consistent and professional throught the Rover experience. I've been burned before with previous dog sitters that have been inconsistent and unresponsive, but Danica is always punctual and quick to respond to any concerns/needs. I trust her to be with my pups when they are most stressed and take care of them when I'm away. That peace of mind is priceless and I love having Danica over to watch my pups.”

Edward H.

“My dog and cat loved Stephanie right away. She was punctual, responsive, and kept me updated. She was also very flexible.”

Pablo N.

“I can’t thank bill enough for taking such great care of my dog, tom, who is definitely not the easiest pup to handle! He was incredibly patient, calm, and communicative throughout the entire stay. Tom can be difficult to handle, I was so impressed with how quickly Bill made him feel comfortable and safe. On top of that, he also helped with administering eye drops—which is no small task with my dog! I really appreciated the updates and photos—it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend, especially if your dog needs a little extra TLC.”

Yada P.

“Cannot say enough good things about Amanda. I have a pretty anxious and reactive pup who struggled with Amanda in the beginning. She didn’t let that phase her, and she was more than willing to work with building a relationship with him. She watched my dog for a week while on vacation and was very good with communication and sending pics to ensure everything was going well. Def recommend her as she is sweet, patient and attentive to dog/owner needs. Thanks again!!”

About: I have taken care of family and friends dogs for the past 10 years. I am comfortable walking, checking in and house sitting dogs as needed. My schedule does change but open to working out something as it comes up. Currently I am unavailable for the most part from 7am -5 pm on weekdays. I have never had any issues with animal sitting in the past and make sure to put in the same care and safety with others pets as my own.

“Rachel was wonderful. She spent uninterrupted time with my high maintenance dogs. Made the dogs feel relaxed and cared for. Rachel was very good in keeping us up to date on the daily happening's. I will most definitely be using Rachel again for our next vacation.”

“Grace was our pet sitter over the Thanksgiving holiday. She was an excellent pet sitter and our pets loved her immediately. She was an great communicator from the meet and greet until the time the stay ended . She kept me updated on my pets during our time away. She took in our mail, took out the trash and left our home in perfect condition. We definitely recommend her to anyone that loves their pets. Thank you again for being our sitter, KAW”

“Everything worked out perfectly with Heidi! She is great with dogs and very trustworthy. Her communication was great from our first meeting with our dog through her pet sitting visit. She asked great questions before we left and we felt in touch with pictures and updates during our vacation. She stayed with our dog, walked her, played with her and loved her while we were away. She was a very tidy house guest, cleaned before she left and our house was just as we left it. I would absolutely recommend Heidi for someone looking for a pet sitter.”

About: Hi there! My name is Natasha, and I’ve been a passionate pet caregiver since high school. I adore all animals and treat each and every one as if they were my own. I recently graduated from Illinois State University and will start teaching this fall. This allows me to have a flexible schedule during the summer and around holidays, perfect for spending quality time with your pets. I provide pet care in my clients' homes, catering to each pet’s unique needs. I truly believe in treating your pets like family, which means animals with anxiety or special requirements thrive under my care. I also have an amazing cat named Loki, who will be turning 3 this fall. You might spot him in some of my photos! I ensure he stays mentally and physically stimulated, which keeps him fit, smart, and happy. I would love to offer the same level of care and attention to your pet! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I am currently working part time which allows me a flexible and open schedule to work with. I will be teaching full time in fall, but will still be available for after work/weekend care! I am extremely respectful of your home, following any and all instructions you have for your furry friend to ensure they are as comfortable as possible at home!

I’m very energetic, caring and compassionate so I know your pet will enjoy it’s time with me. I like to stay fit so walking with your pet won’t just be a job but a fun enjoyable activity.

I’m a naturally caring and nurturing person so giving your pet any type of special care won’t be a problem for me.

About: Not seeing the availability that you need? Send me a message and let's see if we can figure something out. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments—my own pets, fosters, and the beloved companions of friends and family. I’ve also worked in the pet food industry, where I brought my own dogs to work daily, gaining insight into animal nutrition and behavior in a professional setting. I specialize in pets under 100 pounds, especially those with gentle, couch-loving personalities, but I’m always open to meeting a new furry friend who might win me over. I take safety seriously—for both myself and your pet—and I’m happy to follow specific routines, instructions, or preferences to keep everyone comfortable and cared for. Senior pets have a special place in my heart. When I’m not pet sitting, I work full-time in the museum world. Caring for animals allows me to blend my professional life with one of my lifelong passions—making sure pets feel loved, safe, and relaxed while you're away. I’m also comfortable caring for small animals like rabbits, rats, and hedgehogs. Whether your pet needs a calm, reassuring presence or just a buddy to hang out with, I bring patience, kindness, and decades of experience to every visit. I am working full-time, Monday through Friday. I have some flexibility with my schedule which allows me to work remotely on Monday's and Fridays. When I am not working, your pets can expect my full attention. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I take great care to follow your pet’s routine and respect your home as I would my own—keeping things tidy, secure, and low-stress for both you and your pet. I understand how important trust is when inviting someone into your space, and I always aim to communicate clearly and reliably. I’m happy to provide updates during each visit so you feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for. My focus is always on creating a calm, predictable environment where your pet feels safe, whether that means quiet companionship, structured playtime, or simply keeping their routine intact
