About: I have been taking care of dogs since we brought one into our home 3 years ago. It's important to me that a pet feels safe and cared for while their owner is away. I'm currently a stay at home mom with school aged children so I have plenty of time to make visits to see your cat or dog. It's important to me that I follow all instructions and guidelines for feeding, play time, potty etc. I make sure to clean up after myself and leave your home the way it was when I entered.
“Was great to have such a lovely caretaker take care of my kitty while I had to travel. Came out before the scheduled time to meet my cat and the reliable communication was great peace of mind! Would recommend and will absolutely use again.”

“Ginger was an excellent sitter for my cat while I was away for an extended trip! She provided helpful updates following each drop-8! visit and I so appreciated the level of attention & care she provided for my pet.”


About: I have two years of experience caring for a senior dog and a young cat, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, energy level, and needs! I love making sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m also a full-time grad student with a flexible schedule and an active lifestyle. I love staying on the move, and I’m always looking for a furry walking buddy to help me hit my daily step goal! Who says we can’t both get our steps in? As a full-time grad student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for your furry friends! I’m available seven days a week, with early mornings and mid-afternoons being especially convenient for me. That said, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and accommodate other times whenever possible. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or weekend visit, I’d love to help! I’ve cared for pets in different home environments, from houses with backyards to apartment buildings. I always make it a priority to respect your home, follow your pet’s usual routine, and ensure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away!
“Hallie was just an amazing caregiver for my cats while I was away! The photos she sent of the girls and details of each visit added to my peace of mind. She watered my plants, took in my mail and brought my trash to the curb, as well. I would recommend Hallie without hesitation and hopefully can utilize her expert services in the future.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for years and have experience with both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and giving them lots of love and attention. I’ve also helped care for my family dog for 6 years and have experience caring for cats. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾💗 I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide your pets with plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I love to go for walks during my breaks and in the evenings so please let me know what time frames work best for you so that I may work around them! I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and will follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. 🐾
About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember since my family members and I have always had pets (my family in Colombia also has a farm so I’m used to being around all types of animals all the time)! I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, rodents, birds, reptiles, horses, etc...I’ve also worked at pet hotels in the past so I am very familiar with following instructions for both feeding and medication administration. I am also very familiar with pet supplies since I’ve worked at pet stores in the past as well! I am a very active person so if your pet enjoys running around, going on hikes, or anything of that nature, they’ll have lots of fun with me! I also DO allow fur friends on my bed and couch for cuddles and naps :) Walks: Saturday - Tuesday: 5:30 am - Any time Wednesday - Friday: 5:30am - 8am, 3:30pm - Any time Pet Sitting: Please message me so that we can further discuss options keeping in mind that I work in an office 9:00 am - 2:00pm Wednesday - Friday, however there is usually someone always home. Boarding: Message me so that we can further discuss options keeping in mind that I work in an office 9:00 am - 2:00pm Wednesday - Friday, however there is usually someone always home. I have two locations in Stamford where me and my team (my family) pet sit. The first location is right next to a dog park and near Cove Beach if that’s something your pet enjoys! I also currently own a cat, his name is Binx, however, if your pet is boarding with us, Binx will go stay with his aunt who he loves very much (and gets lots of treats from). The second location is conveniently located in downtown Stamford where your pups could go for walks and get puppuccinos and where your kitties can happily watch from the windows. If you have a feathered friend, they're free to roam within the apartment safely and if you have a friend with scales they can also roam freely and safely if you'd like.
About: I'm Steven, a former science teacher who turned a lifelong love of animals into full-time pet care. I've cared for my own dogs for years (John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, my senior Chihuahua) and have looked after friends' and neighbors' dogs, cats, and small pets for as long as I can remember. I'm Fear Free Certified and Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR certified, and I'm fully insured and bonded. Teaching taught me patience, routine, and how to read what someone needs when they can't say it in words, which is exactly what good pet care takes. Every booking is handled personally by me, so you'll always know who's showing up at your door. I do this full-time, so your pet is a priority, not a side gig. For house sitting I keep your pet on their normal routine, same feeding times, walks, and bedtime, and I send photo and text updates throughout so you can relax while you're away. I follow feeding and medication instructions exactly (I give my own senior dog her meds on a strict schedule, so I take it seriously). Every booking starts with a free meet & greet so your pet and I are comfortable before anything is confirmed. Since I come to you, your pet stays in their own home, familiar surroundings, their own bed and yard, which keeps them calmest, especially seniors and anxious pets. I treat your home with respect: doors locked, mail brought in, plants watered if you'd like, everything left as I found it. I have two dogs of my own, John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, a senior Chihuahua, so I'm comfortable with everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior care.
“I can’t say enough good things about Dimitri! Pepsi absolutely loves him and I always feel completely comfortable knowing she’s in his care. He’s reliable, genuinely loves dogs, and always follows her routine and care instructions. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring for their dog!”
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: In my early life, I had bunnies. I then got a bearded dragon when I was 15 and got my first dog in my senior year of high school. My first two pets were not traditional pets but taught me the responsibility of caring for one just the same. I have also worked with puppies and done obedience training with them. In addition, I have experience in adminstering medications I am very skilled with animals, and I've also been around cats and dogs my whole life as well as have 2 cats of my own. I'd be a trustworthy, reliable, and responsible sitter! I have experience with all sorts of dogs and cats, big and small, shy or outgoing, and even dogs or cats that have been rescued from tough backgrounds. Feel free to message me and I will try to get back as soon as possible! I work part time (usually Thursday-Sunday) as a bartender. I usually go in at around 7/8 pm, meaning I can make it for pet dinner time! During the day, I work from home so I have flexibility there. I would care for your pet in your home and follow any directions provided. I would keep the space the way it was when I arrrived and only access pet care areas.

About: Hi there! My name is Kat, and I have a deep, well-rounded background in animal care. With 3+ years of hands-on experience in animal rescue and 10 years of personal pet sitting (and 22+ years of animal-loving!), I bring calm expertise, safety awareness, and specialized care that goes far beyond standard pet sitting. I'm also a certified Wilderness First Responder and American Red Cross CPR Certified. Rescue Training: My time in animal rescue taught me to read subtle animal body language, prevent stressful situations, and keep pets safe and relaxed in any environment, while also serving as a friend and comfort to animals in need! Medication Administration: I have experience giving oral, topical, and routine medications to a wide variety of animals, ranging from kittens to senior dogs. Experience in All Sizes & Energy Levels: From toy breeds to giant dogs, I understand how to handle different temperaments and physical needs. I love taking high-energy dogs on extensive, engaging walks (especially on our local hiking trails!) to keep them physically exercised and mentally happy. I am a full-time student supporting myself while working toward my paralegal certification. I take my courses online from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (Monday-Thursday), so I am available for in-home sitting, drop-in visits, or whatever your pet may need! Since I offer only In-House Sitting, Drop-In Visits, and walk services, your pets will receive 1-on-1 attention without leaving the comfort of their familiar surroundings. My priority is maintaining their daily routine while keeping your home secure and your pets safe. With every visit, I will provide consistent photo updates and detailed reports after each drop-in/day! Flexible, personalized pet care (drop-ins & sitting): Regardless of whether it's a quick 30-minute stop-in for food, meds, play, and potty breaks, or an overnight stay, I adapt entirely to your pet’s individual needs and routine. I strive to keep homes tidy, secure, and maintained, reducing travel stress for everyone and helping pets feel their best! Outdoor Safety: During walks and outdoor breaks, safety is paramount- I practice attentive situational awareness and strive to maintain large distances from any off-leash dogs, as well as ensuring your pet is safely and securely harnessed/leashed. Overall Safety Precautions: From my rescue experience, animals are curious!- In this, I ensure all doors, gates, and deadbolts are latched securely during every entry and exit, double-check that food and medications are sealed out of reach, as well as keeping a watchful eye out for subtle changes in pet health or behavior. Home Maintenance/Overall Peace of Mind: During house sits and drop-ins, I am happy to bring in mail, water plants, keep your living spaces spotless, or help with any other tasks.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - New Canaan
Sarah was an excellent sitter for my shy cat while I was away for a couple of days. She came over to meet him and learn the ropes, took care feeding him and cleaning up after him, and was perfectly communicative and trustworthy. I knew he was in good hands the whole time I was gone. Thank you Sarah!

Samantha was very detailed about her care and I felt safe leaving my girls with her! My husband and I are always so anxious leaving our cats and have an obnoxiously long list of to-dos but Samantha was patient and followed through with it all. Thank you again.

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our two cats! She took care of them for 6 weeks and was absolutely wonderful the entire time, reliable, flexible, and clearly treated our cats like her own. She kept the litter boxes clean, fed them on schedule, and made sure they got plenty of playtime so they never felt lonely. What really stood out was how communicative she was, she sent us photo updates every single visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, healthy cats. Highly, highly recommend her, we’ll definitely be booking her again!

Brooke is fantastic! I highly recommend her I left so many confusing instructions about my not-so-friendly, finicky cat and Brooke just rolled with it. Absolutely no judging when I explained that she’d need to open the door, wait a few seconds… then close the door and repeat numerous times until my cat finally agreed to go outside. (My cat is obnoxious) She came to the house even in a snow storm. Brooke really is wonderful and I hope you’ll be lucky enough to have her !

Mark was great with my boys. He was very attentive and kind. Me being away for a week is real stressful for my cats, but he made them feel at ease and comfortable. He even took quality time to play with the kitten, which made the kitten so happy. Mark was great with communicating and keeping me updated with the visits. I would use Mark again and highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a professional sitter who is kind, gentle and caring.

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.

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 .
