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.

About: I've worked as a dog bather at two different dog grooming salons, where I gained experience handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My partner and I have also owned and cared for pets our whole life—we have 5 cats and regularly dog sit our family members' dogs. My partner and I work well as a team to make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and the best care possible. We also have experience working in the cleaning industry, so we understand the importance of keeping spaces safe, clean, and comfortable for animals. We currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows us to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. We take a daily run and would be happy to bring an energetic dog along if it’s something they’re comfortable with. We also go to the gym each evening from 8–10 PM, but outside of that we are home and available. Because of our flexible routine, we can provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, feeding, and lots of love and attention to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away, at work, or just need a break for the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel at home. We have experience caring for both dogs and cats and currently have 5 cats of our own, so we’re very familiar with daily pet care routines. We follow each pet owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, and special needs. With our flexible schedule, we’re able to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I have several years of experience caring for both pets and children. While working as a nanny for multiple families, I was also responsible for their dogs, making sure they were well-fed, exercised, and happy. This gave me hands-on experience with daily walks, playtime, and maintaining routines. At home, I am a proud cat owner, so I also understand the unique needs of cats and how to provide them with the right care and attention. I am patient, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether it’s walking a dog, keeping a pet company, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. have a very flexible schedule. Sunday Mondays and Tuesdays I am super available. Most mornings before 10 am I’m free and I sometimes work from home. My schedule is adjustable, I can often adapt to different needs during the week. The care I provide always depends on each pet parent’s instructions, since every animal has unique needs and routines. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them regular walks, fresh food and water, playtime, and lots of attention. Safety is always my first priority whether that means keeping doors secured, watching carefully on walks, or following special feeding instructions. I also keep the home environment tidy and respectful, so pet parents can feel fully at ease while they are away.

About: The love and respect I’ll treat your furry family with is based on my expertise in Yale-trained Canine Cognition and Pet Therapy experience with Tails of Joy. As a remote policy analyst and consultant without a dog of my own, my availability is flexible enough to accommodate you and yours! Reach out when you’re in need of trusted care(: I care for dogs in my clients’ homes by prioritizing their comfort, safety, and routine. Whether I’m house sitting, doing drop-in visits, or walking, I make sure each dog receives personalized care based on their energy level, temperament, and any special instructions you provide. For house sitting or drop-in visits, I respect your home and make sure your dog feels safe in their familiar surroundings. I follow feeding schedules, administer any medications if needed, and give them quality time and affection. During walks, I ensure your dog gets physical exercise and mental stimulation in a safe, controlled environment. I pay attention to leash manners, local weather, and your dog’s pace and preferences. No matter the service, I treat every dog like they’re my own—keeping you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pup is in good hands.

“I couldn’t be happier with the amazing care Gabriella provided for my feline companion, Chinnu! 🐾❤️ Chinnu is our sweet grey tabby girl, and knowing she was in such loving and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Gabriella was incredibly caring, attentive, gentle, and patient with Chinnu. It was obvious that she genuinely loves animals and treated Chinnu with the same warmth and affection she would give her own pet. She made sure Chinnu was comfortable, happy, and well cared for, and her thoughtful updates were so reassuring. I’m truly grateful for the love and attention she gave our little girl. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely wonderful with cats. We will definitely be asking her to take care of Chinnu again! ❤️🐱”

About: I have been watching others dogs by walking, stopping in or house sitting for 10+ years. I am comfortable with all breeds and working with multiple animals at once if you have multiple pets. I enjoy going on long walks and playing games with high energy, as well as being able to accompany those who just enjoy a good brush. Whether you need me to walk or to assist when you are away, you can trust me with your pet care. I work from home and in downtown Stamford so I am able to take breaks during the day to walk, feed or entertain the animal in another way. Also allows me to stay with the animal during working hours if needed. I live in an apartment building that is pet friendly. If it is needed to host your pet, they would be able to stay as long as they are comfortable in a high rise/downtown area.

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.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - North Stamford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in North Stamford is $30 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $42 per visit. 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.

As of October 2026, there are 2,915 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across North Stamford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 .

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
