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!
“We hired Jocelyn to housesit our dog Arthur and she was fantastic! She was a great communicator from start to finish, sent us lots of photos, and went the extra mile to ensure he was well taken care of during our trip. She also left our house exactly as it was when we left and was a gracious guest. We would absolutely book her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 8 years old, and they’ve always been an important part of my life. I understand that pets aren’t just animals—they’re cherished family members who deserve love, patience, and dependable care. After a successful career building businesses in the financial industry, I now have the flexibility and time to dedicate to caring for pets—something I’ve always genuinely enjoyed. The same qualities that made me successful professionally—trust, reliability, attention to detail, and excellent communication—are the qualities I bring to every pet I care for. Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visits, companionship while you’re away, or overnight care, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. Every dog is unique, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs, whether they’re an energetic puppy or a senior companion who enjoys a slower pace. You’ll receive regular updates and photos during every visit, so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions, maintain feeding and medication schedules, and make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I take great pride in being punctual, trustworthy, and dependable. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member and earning your trust. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care, whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, evening check-ins, or overnight stays. I’m passionate about fitness and maintain an active lifestyle, so I have plenty of energy for long walks, playtime, and keeping active dogs happy and engaged. At the same time, I understand that some dogs prefer a slower pace, and I’m equally comfortable providing calm, patient companionship for senior pets. I carefully schedule my commitments so every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care while making your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Because I live in a townhouse, I focus on providing care in your home, where your dog is already comfortable and surrounded by familiar sights, sounds, and routines. I believe this creates a less stressful experience and helps your pet feel safe and secure while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and will care for it with the same attention and integrity that I bring to caring for your pet. You can count on me to follow your instructions carefully, maintain your dog’s routine, and provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your furry family member is doing.
“This was the first time we have used Kris and Angelica and everything went very well. Most importantly, we came home to a happy dog! We will definitely use them again in the future.”
“This was our 2nd time having Oscar come to our home and take care of our pets. We had an even BETTER experience this time around!! The confidence we had to leave for 2 full weeks was wonderful and empowering. A well deserved vacation was accomplished because Oscar is a trustworthy young man, who our finicky dog LIKES! Hoping Oscar will be available in the future - he's the best!”
About: I love dogs; I treat them as if they were another child in my family. They are always by my side, and I make sure they are doing well. I have a morning job, so I'm free in the afternoon to look after your dog—I love sleeping with them. I’m also free on Fridays and Saturdays to care for them. I take them for walks and make sure they drink water and eat well. I give them plenty of affection, always looking out for their well-being and making sure they feel right at home.
“Crystal was great. She was helpful teaching me about training a husky i recently adopted thos week. My doggie adored her and cat Jackie. She provided pictures. Great sitter who communicated keeping my anxiety at bay. I am using her again.”
“Samantha is amazing! She's very responsive, attentive, and took great care of our puppy, Gracie. She asks questions and makes sure she understands how best to take care your pet. We knew we were leaving Gracie in very capable hands. It was also clear how much Gracie loved her time with Sam!”

I work from home, so I’m available around the clock for taking care of your pets. I live in the Fairfield County area, so I’m available to help you out with your pets!

About: I have grown up around and taken care of my own and friends dogs over time. Always have had a love for dogs; I have never hesitated to care for the pets of my friends when they are in need of care. I am an online student and a volunteer at my church that has a very flexible schedule. I have reliable transportation and punctual. I am able to provide care for pets throughout my day and week. Regardless of the service I see to it that they have proper care with not only the basics of food water and bathroom/walks. I also love to play with them and make sure they are socialized and not feel so lonely when their owner is gone.
“Katherine is amazing! She is a loving caregiver who immediately bonded with my cat and my dog. My cat is often wary, but could immediately sense her loving presence. Katherine is also incredibly responsible, mature and responsive - from responding to texts, understanding my needs, and leaving my house in better shape than she found it. It is a gift to find someone who allows me to relax and not worry about a thing while I’m away - that is my experience with Katherine!”
“Lisa was amazing. She bonded with Precious, my rescue dog and handled a potential health scare with confidence and efficiency while communicating with me internationally. The condo was in pristine condition when I got home. Highly recommend her. A true gem! Already booked a return sitting.”

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

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
