“Having Hunter stay with our pets was a great decision. My dogs (pandemic puppies) get VERY excited when people come by so they were extra happy to have Hunter with them for a few days. I was at ease while she was staying with them and would book her again if the need arises.”
“David stayed in our house with our dog and rabbit for a week while we were traveling and I could not recommend someone more highly. He was attentive to the needs of our pets and took my dog out on long walks at the park on a daily basis. He sent us pictures and updates frequently and took excellent care of our house. He took out the trash and even vacuumed our house before we came home! David is a one of a kind sitter who goes above and beyond. I will definitely ask him to come back in the future!”

“Sabrina and Daniel were great! They took such good care of my pups, communicated well, and left me feeling confident that my dogs and my home were in good hands while I was away. They also took some of the cutest photos of them that I've seen. :) Who knew I'd have souvenir photos of my dogs in addition to my vacation photos? I would recommend them highly. They are experienced dog-people who love what they do.”
About: I’ve had cats since I was 13 and have many years of hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs with different personalities and needs. I was able to help an older rescue cat become comfortable and affectionate over time, which taught me patience and how to build trust with shy or nervous cats. I currently have a tortie of my own, so I understand how important routines, playtime, and a calm environment are. I treat every cat and dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away.

I’m available for pet care visits in the late afternoons and evenings after 4:30 PM, as well as weekends and school breaks. For cat sitting, I’m happy to stay for extended visits and can sit with your cat while I complete my schoolwork so they have calm companionship and supervision while you’re away. My schedule is consistent and dependable, and I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable and on their normal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routines closely so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I provide feeding, litter box care, playtime, and calm companionship during visits. As a paraprofessional and graduate student in elementary education, I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to details and instructions. I also communicate regularly with updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe, cared for, and relaxed.

She was kind, caring and skilled at making sure he ate and had his medicines. Mason took to her immediately and Catherine also made us feel comfortable. We cannot express how grateful we are for her help! We look forward to working with her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Naugatuck
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Naugatuck is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $67 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 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 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.
