“Thank you Taylor for caring for Einstein. I appreciate your efforts and understanding regarding his nervous behavior. He acts this way with others who he is not familiar with so it was not a surprise. I was hopeful he would be playful since he met you yesterday. I will reach out again to you to book next month for a few dates. Please let me know if any issues.”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was a kid, my own as well as, friends and neighbors pets. I love being outdoors playing and taking walks with my girl, Lilli. I’ve had experience with a senior dog on medication and know they need special care and attention. I will play with and love on your pet as if they were my own. I'm currently living on a farm and helping take care of the animals. My schedule is flexible so I'm able to help with notice the same day. I can do house-sitting as well as drop in care to feed and let dogs out, change litter boxes, play for a bit, then come back later. We can work out details according to your pets needs. I will feed, play with and take your pets out according to what you want. All pets have special needs or routines and happy to accommodate those needs.
“Ian was great to work with! He was able to help out with multiple visits during a last-minute emergency. He was on time, clearly communicated, and gave my dog plenty of love and attention! 10/10 would use Ian again for future needs!”
About: I have taken care of family and friends dogs while they are away! I am comfortable with any size, age, breed, etc! I love to stimulate the dogs according to their personalities and how they would best thrive. I love to radiate love onto them and I am open to bathing and other requests. I have fed, walked, and loved them. Hello! I currently have a few part time babysitting gigs so I would have plenty of time to help out with any pet needs! I am currently enrolled in classes on Tuesdays and Thursday's but am available after 4 pm those days. Besides that I am pretty much open and would LOVE to help out! I would care for your pets in your home by taking them for walks, feeding, etc. If there were to be a fenced in backyard I would play with them there, or take them for a walk, or occasionally I would love to take them to a trail or park and play with them there!
About: I’ve been in the industry since I was 15! I’ve worked in daycares and have my own personal clients from friends and family!! I am very serious about dog and cat care because I’d want my own pets to be with a kind and compassionate human! I am detailed/ time oriented ! This is my passion and will put 100% in every client to provide the best possible care. I currently have open availability Monday- Sunday! I will have your pets interest at heart and will devote my time accordingly to fit their schedule. At your home I will follow protocol that you have listed to insure their safety. As well as just being more present with their potty breaks so I know that they are 100% doing their business and that they are okay.
“Megan was great with our cat, overcoming Ophelia's shyness and getting her to interact. Prompt and did extra things like watering plants and feeding the squirrels (which Ophelia likes wat hing). Highly recommend her!”
“Olivia was absolutely wonderful while we were away! She dropped in twice to let our dogs out, feed them, and make sure they were well cared for. She treated our home with so much respect and care, truly like it was her own. One of our favorite parts was all the beautiful pictures she took of the dogs while we were gone, it gave us so much peace of mind and made us smile seeing how happy and comfortable they were. You can really tell she genuinely cares about animals.”
“Allison is an incredible pet sitter. I was very nervous to leave my babies for a few days, and they helped me feel at ease. Very communicative, and I really appreciated all the photos. Thank you!”
About: I have had dogs and cats in my home since i was born. I currently live with roommates who have two dogs, and I am the one they rely on when both are gone or away for long periods of time. I work full time, I work mornings mostly and occasional afternoons but they are only about 4 hours. I am able to come in before mornings but I work at 6:30 am. other than that I can stop by anytime I am not working I take dogs out often, and love to play with them. I also enjoy playing with cats and will always make sure they have fresh litter.
“Jennifer is our go-to whenever we need someone to take great care of our kitties. We really appreciate her attention to detail and her genuine care for our crazy cats! She’s more than patient with our difficult diva cat in particular.”
About: Grew up around dogs and cats (and some farm animals) but currently living in an apartment that doesn’t allow them! Need my fix of pet love! I am a teacher so I am available more in the summer. During the school year I am available before 7 am and after 3 pm. Available most weekends. Although I can’t keep your pet(s) at my home, I’m happy to visit yours and/or do any other house sitting needs! Former babysitter, dog sitter, and house sitter.
About: Had cats all my life and dogs for last 12 years. Animals have a sixth sense about people and I'm one of those they seek out for rubs, cuddles, playtime, snacks and love... I'm working FT so im only available evenings after 5 and all times on the weekends. I'm also available for overnights at your location and can leave for work from anywhere. I will only be able to care for pets at your home as we currently have 2 cats (one who is very persnickedy) and a senior dog rescue who is going blind and is afraid of everyone.
“Kaylee is great to work with; I've had no issues with her all the visits she’s made to take care of my cats. She’s quick to respond and doesn’t miss any scheduled visits. I recommend her as your local pet sitter.”
“Renee did a fantastic job with in-home visits with my dog Rookie. It was my first time ever using Rover and Renee went above and beyond. She made the process very easy and Rookie had a great weekend with her!”
About: I’ve been around dogs forever now! I’ve had all kinds of experiences with all different breeds. I can’t wait to love your pet almost as much as you do! I’m currently working from home and would love to have an excuse to get out of the house a little more often. I also love taking walks! I have a fenced yard and cameras set up around my house. I also have a security system in my house for doors being left open and so forth.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 299 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:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
