“Whitnee was great. So responsive and warm. She provided care during my wedding weekend and I couldn’t be more grateful for the help she provided so I could enjoy my special day!”
“This was my first time booking a cat sitter through Rover - Jen is phenomenal! She is so kind, and was consistent, reliable, thorough, and thoughtful in taking care of my two cats and home. She went the extra mile by showing care about understanding the cats’ routine, bonding with them, sending updates, and keeping things clean in my absence. It was so nice to trust that the cats were being well cared for while I was away at a research conference, and Jen was perfect with communication/updates. I will definitely be a repeat client of hers!”
“Katie did a great job taking care of our temperamental rescue dog. She was on time and communicated really well. She did an overnight stay at our house and I would definitely recommend her. She made everything really stress-free.”
“David was a professional from beginning to end. Connected beautifully with my dog, was on time, and did everything needed for Jasmine’s we’ll being. Will definitely be hiring him again at some point.”
“Pauline is so phenomenal with my dogs. She sent me multiple photos and videos, which I absolutely love. She is patient and caring with them. She is also very responsive and attentive to detail. This is my second time using her for dog sitting and I hope to be able to use her again for dog sitting needs.”
“Camryn was absolutely amazing. Thorough, respectful, kind, and my dog immediately liked her. She stayed in contact as needed and took great care of my home. I was able to enjoy being away knowing my dog was well taken care of at home! 10/10”
“Ian's first housesitting with Carson went very well. He was dedicated to Carson's health and safety especially since there were unexpected thunderstorms. Ian comforted Carson throughout the day and night with lots of care, hugs and belly rubs. Ian was in communication each day and sent pictures as well. Carson had an added play date with Hailey too. Ian was respectful in our home and left it clean. All great qualities when someone is caring for your pet and staying in your home.”
“Our first time with Zach and hopefully not our last. He was punctual, reliable and so attentive to our older dog who needs some extra care and patience. Zach sent lots of updates and photos throughout his stay. He followed Kona’s schedule to a T and even came back for an extra walk last minute the next day.”
“I needed a live in cat sittter on short notice and Alex came through! First time having her care for my cat who was recently diagnosed with a heart condition. I had an important out of town trip. Alex wasn't intimidated and successfully gave him his meds twice a day and kept in regular contact.I would recommend Alex and will gladly have her care for my pets in the future.”
“Steph was absolutely amazing with our two dogs and cat. She stayed over with them while we got married and we couldn’t have asked for more! She kept us fully updated and even left us a sweet note. We would definitely use her again and highly highly recommend her!!”
“Madeline was simply amazing! she loved, cuddled, played with and was wonderful with Ruby. she kept me updated and took lots of pictures too. i will book her again in a heartbeat - i’ve never felt better about leaving Ruby in someone’s care!”
About: I've grown up with animals since I was born and have gained the largest appreciation for pets of all shapes and sizes. Besides this, I have watched numerous pets for friends, family, and neighbors and ensured all pet's needs were met. Whether this was special diets, long walks, hours of play time, I love spending any and all time with animals. I do work a full time job usually M/W/F/Sun from 4 until about 12:30pm. I am also a full time student working on getting her bachelors. I always make plenty of time for drop ins to care for pets. Saturdays are usually always free so I have the time to really care for your pets needs! I’m willing to discuss what availability you’re looking for. I am open to almost all special requests you might need for you pet! Whatever practices/care needs you are looking for, I am willing to adjust to.
“If I could give Kimberlee more than five stars, I would! From the moment we met her, it was clear she was incredibly conscientious, detail-oriented, and genuinely cared about giving Scooby the very best care. Our dog, Scooby, is anxious around other dogs and does much better staying in her own home with a trusted person. Kimberlee was absolutely perfect for her. She was accommodating, thoughtful, and went above and beyond in every way. She kept us updated with wonderful photos, and honestly, you could see in every single one how much Scooby adored her. As pet parents, that kind of peace of mind is priceless. Knowing she was not only safe but truly happy allowed us to completely relax and enjoy our time away. It takes a special person to earn the trust of an anxious dog, and Kimberlee did just that with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. We are beyond grateful that she was Scooby’s person while we were away. I cannot recommend Kimberlee highly enough, and we will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you, Kimberlee, for taking such incredible care of our girl!”
“Korin was wonderful to work with and took great care of our dog, Roxas. We got daily pictures, and she was very communicative with everything and flexible with times to help make sure he wasn't locked up all day. She was wonderful to have watching Roxas and would recommend others have her watch their pets!”
“Christine is a wonderful dog sitter! She stayed 9 days with our 2 high maintenance dogs and took excellent care of them. Christine’s communication both before and during our trip was exactly what we needed to feel comfortable. She sent pictures of our boys daily and sent us updates on their behaviors, eating, sleeping, and general wellbeing. It allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip!”
“This is the second time we have used Michelle to sit for our 4 large fur babies! We were gone for 8 days and didn’t have a worry. Michelle is so good with all of our dogs, sends regular updates and pics and again she meal prepped for our pups. She is amazing!!!”

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Steph! This was my first time ever leaving Happy with someone I didn’t know and allowing anyone into my home while I was away, so I was definitely nervous. Steph COMPLETELY put my mind at ease from day one. She kept me updated every single day with pictures and messages, and I could tell Happy was happy, comfortable, and so well cared for. He even took his medication on a regular basis for her which at times he can be very stubborn about. Steph truly went above and beyond—not only taking amazing care of Happy, but also bringing in my mail and packages every day and even making sure my garbage cans were brought back in. Those little things meant so much to me while I was away! I was able to actually relax and enjoy my trip knowing Happy and my home were in such good hands. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust and will absolutely be booking with Steph again. Happy and I can’t wait to have her back! ❤️🐾
Hunter is amazing! Hunter has done drop-by visits for us before but this past week, Hunter house sat while we were away so we could leave our dog. Hunter was amazing! We got loads of updates and our animals seemed so happy the entire time. We’ll keep booking Hunter whenever we need support with our pets!

FAQs for House Sitting - Naugatuck
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Naugatuck on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,804 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Naugatuck. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Naugatuck 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 Naugatuck 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 Naugatuck 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Naugatuck. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
