About: Pending on parents wishes, we take walks, play, I will have doggie toys or they can bring their own. I can do medication, including injections, give them breakfasts and snacks pending parents bringing what the babies like Im currently available everyday, once I start my daily job, I can still stay at your homes, and walk, feed and play. And all day onweekends, mindful that I am available now 24/7 I have a fenced yard, no other doggies on property. I always say less is more when it comes to meeting a new pup no matter the age. This is to gain trust with myself and them.
“Gileen was very caring and loving to my dog who is often anxious with strangers. I could tell my dog was very comfortable with her. She will be dog sitting for us again tomorrow and in the future. Gileen is great! 👍🏼 ☺️”
“Rebecca is a fantastic sitter who took great care of both our house and our new cat Baby Lizard. She sent us lots of photos, did face time calls when asked, stuck to our vet's dietary instructions, and gave Blizzard lots of cuddles but also just chill time and space. She also helped out with managing our home, taking out trash, cleaning litter boxes and making sure the house stayed safe while we were on our trip. We will DEFINITELY be booking Rebecca again to watch our Baby Lizzy!”
“Amanda looked after my two dogs and house for 12 days and did an incredible job. She sent photos every day and when I returned the house was spotless. Will definitely use her in the future and highly recommend.”
“We love Alex! Alex takes beautiful care of our fur babies and tortoise and our home. We never have to worry, they are in great hands while we are away. Alex sends wonderful photos and makes recommendations that we greatly appreciate. We highly recommend Alex.”
About: I've been surrounded by animals since I was 6 years old and have always had a deep love and admiration for them. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I'm very familiar with daily care routines including feeding, walks, play time, basic grooming, administering medications if needed, and giving lots of attention and affection. I also care for a chinchilla and grew up spending time with my grandparents' cat, so I'm comfortable around different types of pets and their unique personalities. Although I'm new to professional pet sitting, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I've even once considered becoming a vet tech because of how much I love spending time with animals. I'm responsible, attentive, and very detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. As someone pursuing a career in healthcare and BLS certified, safety and attentiveness are extremely important to me. Your pet's comfort, well-being, and happiness will always be my top priority. I am currently in school but when I am not in class I am more than happy to use some of that time to take care of your fur baby. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their established routine as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walk times, medication instructions if needed, and any specific area preferences. I provide plenty of playtime, attention, and affection while also making sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I'm very respectful of clients' homes, keep everything clean and organized, and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.
About: I have been around dogs since before I could walk! I've always had dogs while growing up. I work at an animal clinic and have been in the vet field for 9 years. As of right now I am very open and flexible with my current schedule. I am available almost any day / time of the week. I make sure to know where all pet supplies/medication and emergency contact numbers are located. I make sure to familiarize myself with the pets feeding/walking schedule. I also make sure to know whether the pet has any aggression issues towards other animals so I know how to handle the pet if I need to walk them or what not.
“Olivia is the best dog sitter in town! Truly a gem! We were so blessed to have Olivia care for our Teddy while away on a 6 day vacation to Hawaii. She was always available and provided all of Teddy’s needs. I can’t express my gratitude with just words. She went above and beyond caring for our Teddy while away. Teddy has found a new best friend in Olivia. My trip was care free because I left my pup in good hands. Theres nothing better than to have peace of mind that my Teddy was being fed, walked and played with daily. I recommend Olivia for your furry friend. You will not be disappointed. Thanks again Olivia! 🐶”
“Sabrina was great. I was quite nervous leaving my dog but she sent me photos and updates everyday which really helped. She took care of everything I asked and when we got home the house was just as we left it. I would highly recommend her.”
“Ashley took great care of my dogs Hank and Penny, with excellent communication and regular photo updates. She was courteous and diligent in caring for my house, following all instructions I left. I highly recommend her for your pets!”
About: Hello! My name is Layla and I am currently a full-time college student with extra time on my hands, my schedule can be extremely flexible on the days that I am available. I feel being a pet sitter suits me because a. I love animals, b. I’m very attentive and organized, and c. Earning a wage by hanging out/taking care of your fur babies sounds like a dream! I currently have two big dogs and one cat that I care for almost every day. I take the dogs for walks, play fetch with them, and take them out to go potty. I love spoiling my cat with new stimulating toys, cat trees, and lots of cuddles 🥰 I’m currently a full-time student with some spare time, a part-time job seems too much for me to handle while also engaging in school. I adore animals and it would be amazing to earn money while spending time and caring for them 🥲 A list offered of how you want me to care for your pet is preferred. I understand pets can have different quirks and I’m totally adaptable to anything that’s thrown at me. I love animals and their unique personalities! I’d like to follow your routine to care for your animal, just like you never left!
“Nansi was such a pleasure to work with. She was very attentive and sent me constant updates of my kitty! She also took amazing pictures and videos of him and sent them to me. She kept the house very clean and organised as well. I’d highly recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life! This includes, dogs, cats, birds and small rodents such as hamsters! I have even trained my dog to learn simple commands. My overall goal is safety and to ensure that your pet is taken care of like one of my own. Skills: * Pet feeding and fresh water care * Dog walking * Administering oral medications (if you’ve done this) * Basic grooming (brushing, etc.) * Cleaning litter boxes and pet habitats * Monitoring pet behavior for changes * Caring for senior pets (if applicable) * Following detailed care instructions * Providing companionship and playtime * Maintaining routines to reduce pet stress * Reliable communication with pet owners I am currently a full time student at CSULB, but I am available to work during the week as my classes are only in the evenings Monday through Thursdays. I am open to both weekdays and weekends. I have done overnight stays and I am comfortable doing so. I am very flexible and will communicate with my clients in more detail to make sure that I am a good fit for them. Qualities I know about myself and my care: * I Follow care instructions carefully. * I am dependable and don’t like cutting corners. * I Pay attention to details. * I Care deeply about animals’ wellbeing. * I ask questions when I am unsure rather than guessing. My pets are well fed, walked, groomed and cared for. Honestly they are like my children haha!
“Bethany was an excellent caretaker for our pets. She kept me updated on them while we were away, and even the most finicky cat came out to play with her. She's terrific, and I will definitely book her again.”
About: Hi! My name is Elizabeth, but you can call me Liz. I grew up with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I’ve also pet sat for family friends over the years, giving me experience caring for pets while their owners are away. I’m organized, dependable, and a strong communicator. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos to give you peace of mind. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and always aim to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a substitute teacher, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accept pet care requests on many afternoons, evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. Since my work schedule can vary from day to day, I do my best to keep my calendar updated and communicate promptly about my availability. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit or consistent care while you’re away, I’m organized, reliable, and committed to making sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I always care for pets as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their pet’s normal routine by following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they get the exercise or playtime they need. I also keep their living area clean and tidy and provide regular updates so owners know how their pet is doing. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to earn their trust and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I understand how nerve wracking it can feel to leave your pet with someone that you don’t even know! That’s why with me I’m gonna send daily updates, photos, and I’m gonna make sure your pet is able to stay in the same routine they’re used to so they don’t even realize that your gone! What separates me from others is the bond that I have with the pets when I care for them. I just don’t simply do my job, I go beyond the limits of what it takes to be a pet care provider. I build a bond, I show that I care, and I treat each and every pet that I meet with the love and respect that their own family members would. It shouldn’t be any other way, and when you pick me to care for your pet you won’t regret it!
“Denger was fantastic and I am so lucky to have found them on here! Our pup Missy absolutely loved them, they were instant friends and made me feel so comfortable putting her in Denger’s care. Denger carefully reviewed all of Missy’s needs, behaviors, schedule, and asked thoughtful and insightful questions. They sent us photos and our girl was happy and content when we got home! They also took excellent care of our two kitties, who took to Denger right away - even our shy one. Absolutely would recommend!”
“Lissi is amazing! We were impressed with her knowledge and caring attitude she brought when looking after our puppy! She was very attentive and gave us update regularly. She also included some photos and videos of our puppy during her stay. Can’t thank her enough!”
“Jennifer was the perfect puppy sitter for our dog! Besides being wonderful with our buddy she was flexible and kind and very conscientious of what we needed. I highly recommend her!! Five stars for Jennifer”
“Jack was a complete professional during his recent dog sitting of our two dogs. He stayed at our home and was extremely attentive and respectful. Jack followed all care instructions and went over and beyond by taking our dogs to the park and playing with them frequently. He provided us daily updates and photos during our vacation that kept us at ease, especially while traveling out of state. I cannot recommend him enough, a gentleman in every way.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Norwalk is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Norwalk
Ashley was the best person to care for our pet, Leo. She was responsive which allowed me to be reassured trying Rover for the first time. She provided daily updates. We secured boarding in our home and she was attentive with the care she provided Leo and our home. She brought us peace of mind during our trip. Highly recommend, Ashley!
I was thoroughly pleased with Cheryl! She was honest, responsive, and very kind. This was my first time using Rover so I had asked her to meet with me before I even booked. She used her time to come and meet with me and my dog which put my mind at ease. Cheryl kept in contact with me sending sweet pictures and any concerns she had for my dog. She went above and beyond and cleaned my home before she left. This was the first time I’ve ever gone on vacation and was completely comfortable that my dog was being loved and well taken care of. I will definitely use Cheryl in the future.
Vyanh is a wonderful dog sitter. She sat for us for 3 days. She is responsible, punctual, kind, reliable, cleans most important our pups loved her. I will be requesting her services again. She provided updates and made an effort to walk our pups, play with them and connect with them!
Alivia took wonderful care of our 2 dogs--giving them their daily medicine, taking them on just the right amount of walks (one of ours is a young active dog and the other is a senior dog with arthritis). She also sent us lots of updates and photos. Will definitely book again!
This was the 2nd time Nansi watched my BB. She is very professional, communicative and sweet. My dog loves her and it really shows how much she loves dogs! She sent me videos and pictures to keep me updated and she took good care of my house. I would definitely ask Nansi to pet sit for me again!
This was my first time booking through Rover in hopes of finding someone that can care for my puppy while I’m away and I found Alyssa. She was very kind and patient. I feel like she tried her best even though my puppy is a high energy stubborn puppy. She tried to make him as comfortable as possible. I did have a slight suggestion and that would be just to communicate better and interact with the puppy as much as possible to make it a smoother process. Dogs feed off our energy.
Tayanna was amazing! She made my kitty feel so comfortable and loved on while I was out of town and gave me updates throughout the entire time. I’m very protective and particular with who watches my girl, and I know I absolutely made the right choice with Tayanna.

FAQs for House Sitting - Norwalk
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Norwalk on Rover is $39.96 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 15,142 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Norwalk. 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 Norwalk 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 Norwalk 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 Norwalk 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 Norwalk. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
