“Jocelyn did a fantastic job with drop in visits for our cats Cacio and Pepe. She covered all their basic needs and favorite things on each visit. She even cleaned up when one of our cats got sick. Loved receiving photos each time she finished a check in! Would definitely book again in a heartbeat.”

About: I have lived with two lovely dogs my whole life with my family, and am now living with two cats in my adulthood. Even before then, I used to volunteer at animal shelters to feed, clean, and care for both cats and dogs: young, old, with or without dietary restrictions :) I’ve never known life without pets! Every pet I've had in my life has been my best friend, and rest assured your baby will be treated as such! I live with pets 24/7, so caring for them is like second nature. I also work from home most days of the week, so a lot of attention can be put towards your babies! My pets get enrichment time as well as a clean, calm environment 24/7 :) I do not use any physical conditioning on my pets at all (no spray bottles, and 10000% no violence policy!)
About: I’ve grown up with animals of all kinds from as early as I can remember. Being the oldest of my siblings I was the first to have to take on the pet care chores, and this included both our dogs and our cats, and the other types of animals we had in our household. I have pet care experience with dogs and cats, as well as other pets too. When I moved out on my own with my previous partner (2012-2017) we had adopted three rescued cats, and I was the main administer of the diabetic cat’s insulin and late IV fluid treatments. My ex kept our cats in the split, but in 2018 I adopted my first dog completely on my own. She’s a rescue pit bull mix and now, with my current husband, she is joined by another rescued pit bull mix and a rescued cat. Last year we also adopted a red ear slider turtle off the street in Philadelphia and he now enjoys his aquatic terrarium with his guppy and pleco friends. In 2023 I briefly worked for a dog walking company in Ridgefield and was bit by one of the client’s dogs, unprovoked, and because of that I left the service after being blamed for the outburst and attack (despite telling the owners and the employer that the dog was getting increasingly aggressive with me and I wasn’t comfortable walking him anymore). It was the only time I had ever had an animal turn on me like that and it made me rethink working for a service where I wasn’t listened to or given proper protection. My husband and I have been Rover clients since we moved to Connecticut in 2023 and I am very happy to say we have never had a negative experience, which is why I have decided to lend my services to other pets and families in the area that are in need of an experienced pet caretaker. I am a professional actor so I have days that are marked off for auditions and work or rehearsals, however it is not a consistent time or place. I work throughout the Northeast, NYC, and the Mid Atlantic currently with my acting opportunities, but I am also open to short term travel as well. Because of that, my availability is very open some weeks and not as much on others, depending on what projects I am currently involved in and what the scheduling is like. I would love to spend more time your pets in my downtime and give them the attention they require, since mine are pretty saturated in it regularly. I have two dogs, which are extremely friendly and love other dogs, people, and cats! Our cat is very aloof so they wouldn’t be seen much in cases where pet sitting at my home is needed. Our yard is not fenced in but I am very accustomed to taking them out for walks, or having them leashed under my supervision in our yard. Because I live in Newtown, there are plenty of places to get some quality walks in, and we are also not far from open public dog parks either if that suits your furry friend! I also have my own car which I am more than comfortable transporting your pet in or coming to you for check ins or walks. Our dogs are up to date on vaccines so that is not a worry either, and I am diligent in making sure everyone has a great time when their friends (and our human friends) are over too!
“Olivia is amazing! She watched our three high-energy dogs. We have a small Doodle, a medium Doodle, and a very large Golden Retriever. They loved her! She was always on time and shared great photos and updates during her visits. We will definitely rebook Olivia for future visits as she is wonderful with our boys and a great communicator. Thank you, Olivia!”

About: I’ve been caring for and dog-sitting for family, neighbors, and friends for over 10 years, including paid pet-sitting. I have experience with both small and large dogs with different personalities and love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and making sure they feel comfortable. I currently work as a private basketball coach, so I have plenty of availability during the day to hang out, play, and go for walks. I’m also available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting on weekends. I provide attentive, reliable, and personalized care in your pet’s home and during walks or drop-in visits. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while giving them plenty of one-on-one attention, exercise, and affection. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Our cats were very happy when we came back, we got consistent updates and photos, she was communicative and she did what we had asked regarding the care of our kitties as well as keeping our home secure. We recommend booking Patricia, and will use her in the future! Thank you! 😻😻”

“Lydia was a trustworthy, caring and communicative sitter for my cat while I was away for a week. She followed his routine to a T and I had no doubt that he was in great hands while I was away. Thank you!”

About: I have taken care of and walked many types of dogs since I can remember. Neighbors have relied on me to take care of their pets when they were away on vacation. I am currently searching for work but I am able to walk animals on the daily. I am also able to drop into peoples homes on the daily I will ensure the safety of the animal following the instructions of the owner. I currently am living away for college so I my dog is not with me currently.
About: Hi there! I’ve mostly taken care of cats, but I’m open to taking care of dogs & god walking if they are good with people. I work from home so having a pet to play with on my breaks will for sure keep me entertained all day! I’m a young, energetic man who works a remote corporate job. Looking for a pet to love & play with during the day so I don’t stare at my screen all day. My schedule is pretty flexible since I work from home. I do usually eat dinner with my family, so it would be ideal if I could go back home for a couple hours in the evening to eat with them. I’m an affectionate person who loves to play with pets because they get exercise & I get to destress. Especially since I work from home, I definitely have the time to give your pet the care & attention that you request. Lastly, as someone who loves to talk, I talk to pets all the time, of course in a sweet tone because I truly believe that dogs & cats can understand the things we say to them!
About: I love spending time with all animals. They make the most wonderful companions. I feel I have a knack for connecting with all types and I try very hard to understand their unique personalities and needs. I work remotely, so I have a very flexible schedule for pet care , I have full availability. I genuinely enjoy being able to take care for your pets while I work. I love the companionship. I pay special attention to each animals, eating, play and walk schedule and try really hard to accommodate that. I like to make any transitions as easy as possible for them so your pets are at ease and happy.
“This is our third booking with Christyna. When our heater went out due to the snowstorm, she didn’t hesitate to head back and help reset it. Thanks to Christyna, we came home to a happy and healthy Mai.”

About: Animals are my life! They literally flock to me and I've always had a way with my furry friends. In my childhood my German Shepard, Flash, was the love of my life and always loved energetic play, beach runs, and playing in the dunes. I handle dogs both big and small and my current client has a tiny teacup mix, Riley, who despite his ten years of age, will play fetch for hours on end. He does have a heart condition and problem with his trachea, so being careful during walks (not letting him pull the leash too hard) and making sure he doesn't overwork his little heart are two safety concerns to always be mindful of. I also regularly dog sit Riley for weekend stay overs and make sure to stay with him in the bed so he is comfortable. Having grown up with all kinds of pets like parakeets, dogs, and guinea pigs (just to name a few) I've literally learned to "talk to the animals" and it's easy for me to familiarize with new pets and their needs very quickly. I'm very high-energy and can take your dog for an energetic walk at a comfortable based based on their health or general needs. And If you want your pup in tip top shape I can jog with them for hours and incorporate other fun games and exercises in the mix. I'm currently a full time "Rover" so my schedule is fairly open. I'm flexible in terms of last-minute bookings as well. The same flexibility applies if you would like to book a day or overnight sitter. I live on High Ridge Rd in Stamford near the Merritt so I'm only about 10 minutes away from the Mianus River State Park and 7 minutes from the Stamford dog park

About: Big dogs and little dogs are all happy dogs. I enjoy taking care of and spending time with animals. I have had experience since my childhood I will be more active in my life physically walking them and taking care of them. It’s a perfect job cute animals and taking care of them for money. It’s perfect. I will take the best care of your pet at your home. Just let me know if they need something or have a certain routine and I got it!
“Annabel did a great job for my 2 cats while I was away for a week. She sent great pictures and even cleaned up when they got into a treat bag one day. Highly recommend!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fairfield
Caitlin has been absolutely fantastic taking care of our cat June. June can be a bit shy around new people but instantly warmed up to Caitlin and was totally comfortable and happy. We needed a rover fairly last minute and Caitlin was super accommodating. Most importantly she was thoughtful, caring and attentive to June! Cannot recommend her more!

Grace is a kind and caring person. She takes such great care of my 2 cats while I'm away. The guilt of leaving them, while not gone completely, is dramatically lessened when I know Grace will be there to look after them. Great communication and daily photos and videos. Thank you Grace!

Katie did an excellent job taking care of our two cats when we were out of town for a week! Great communication, very reliable and personable. It was fun to get to see the cats warm up to her in the pictures as the week progressed. We would definitely book her again.

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 .
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.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
