About: I’ve been surrounded by different types of animals my whole life! No breed is too big or too small, I love them all. I’ve taken care of furry friends ever since I was a child and want nothing more to ensure that they are given the necessary love and affection that they deserve. I currently do work and go to school but I can always make time to care for your furry friend. I’m available for boarding, sitting, and walking! I am mostly available Sunday, Monday, Friday, and Saturday. I always ensure safety for your pet. Following your instructions and wishes are important for the job. Each pet has different needs and care. Getting your pet comfortable and to trust me is very important for great service. Your pets are safe with me!
“Annabelle was an excellent match for my 15 year old Spaniel. She was conscientious, neat and tidy (she stayed overnight), reliable and trustworthy. My dog’s age brings challenges (vision and hearing issues) yet Annabelle never skipped a beat. I was nervous about leaving my dog with a stranger but it worked fine.”
“We could not have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left, she was incredibly communicative, sending multiple updates every day with pictures and videos that truly put our minds at ease. Shelby always looked so happy and comfortable, which meant everything to us. When we returned home, it was spotless. On top of that, when there was a possibility of a flight cancellation, she immediately offered to stay an extra day without hesitation. She is kind, responsible, and genuinely wonderful. We feel so lucky to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional care for their home and pet. We look forward to her watching Shelby again.”
“Kris watched our dog Finn for two days at our house and did an awesome job! He sent photos and kept us updated throughout the stay. We had complete peace of mind that Finn was in good hands while we were away! We'll definitely book with them again”
About: Despite being bitten by a dog as a child, an event I can hardly remember, I love dogs. As a nanny, the fur children relied on me just as much as the hooman children, especially after bedtime. While I don’t have my own (yet), I’ve taken care of various breeds and a few senior dogs, this includes feeding, bathing, cuddling, snuggling, walkies and dog park visits. I’ve sat in on a few training classes and can start with puppy training. During the summer time. I’m working part time so I’m available all afternoon or weekends to play and take care our your dog. My schedule will change in September. I’m not available for boarding right now, but can take care of your pet in the space they’re most at ease, in their home. I do my best to follow the instructions left to me by clients and essentially follow the pets around to get the lay of the land, ie., their favorite spots of the house and where all their favorite things are.
“Oscar is a good choice for house sitter. He makes the effort to put us at ease during our 10 day vacation. When there was a problem with our dog getting out of the yard while he was at class, he patched the hole in the fence our "escape artist" used to get out. More pictures and text would be better, but we had confidence in him that everything was being taken care of.”
“Claire is absolutely the best dog sitter you could find. We came home from an extended trip to find out senior dog calm and happy after Claire’s overnight stays at our home. Claire sent photos, videos and text updates daily which were lovely and reassuring.”
About: I’ve dog and cat sat for family and friends for years, and they always have a great time with me, lots of play, cuddles, and love. I’m responsible, very clean, and respectful of boundaries as a guest in your home. I have two dogs of my own (a pit bull and a miniature schnauzer), so I understand different personalities and needs. I don’t play favorites, I love all pets! Pet care fits easily into my routine since I’m home often and flexible with my schedule. I make time each day for walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles, so your pet always gets consistent attention and love. In my own home, I keep a safe, comfortable space where pets can relax and play, with my dogs for company if it’s a good match. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, keep everything clean, and double-check that doors and gates stay secure so pets can’t get out. Either way, every pet gets the same love, attention, and respect I’d give my own.
About: I've worked as a dog bather at two different dog grooming salons, where I gained experience handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My partner and I have also owned and cared for pets our whole life—we have 5 cats and regularly dog sit our family members' dogs.

We take a daily run and would be happy to bring an energetic dog along if it’s something they’re comfortable with. We also go to the gym each evening from 8–10 PM, but outside of that we are home and available. Because of our flexible routine, we can provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, feeding, and lots of love and attention to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away, at work, or just need a break for the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel at home. We have experience caring for both dogs and cats and currently have 5 cats of our own, so we’re very familiar with daily pet care routines.

With our flexible schedule, we’re able to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.

“I am so glad we went with Katharine to take care of our dog while we were away. She was very thoughtful, caring and asked the right questions. You can most certainly trust Katharine with your pet, and home should you need care in the form of house sitting. Communicative and professional, we would look to hire again. She was terrific”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Norwalk
Katherine took great care of our two senior cats and our dog. They all get stressed when we go away but we came home to happy, relaxed pets. She sent daily pictures and kept in touch so we knew everyone was doing well. We’d be happy to have Katherine stay again and recommend her to others.
Briana was absolutely great! On time and attentive to all our wishes, Jax was so well cared for, Briana gave me updates with pictures which it was very important and appreciated. We came home to a happy pup, It was a great relief to know our boy was in good hands!
After communicating with a few different housesitters on this platform, Katlyn seemed to be the most responsible and reliable one. She was very friendly, easy to talk to and Jäger took to her immediately. We felt comfortable leaving her in our home to take care of our 8 year golden retriever for a little over a week. Katlyn texted and sent pics every day- they hung out at the house, played in the yard and went out for walks/hikes. Pics were great- brought a smile to our face every single time:) Katlyn was also very accommodating with a few little changes in the schedule. We felt very fortunate to have her care for our home and our dog. Will definitely like to hire her again in the future! Val Schuermann

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in East Norwalk is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $122 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred East Norwalk walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in East Norwalk maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in East Norwalk choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Norwalk. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
