About: Hi, pet parents! 🐾 I am Meagan, and I absolutely love animals! Caring for pets isn’t just a job to me—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take a lot of pride in. I am also a proud cat mom to two very spoiled cats of my own, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for them. Whether your furry friend needs a fun walk, a cozy check-in, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’m attentive, patient, dependable, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same love, kindness, and care I would want for my own. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, quirks, and comfort level, so I’m happy to follow your instructions and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re gone. I also know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing that your babies are in caring, responsible hands—and to make their time without you as happy and stress-free as possible! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! 🐾 I currently have open availability and am caring for pets full-time, allowing me to be flexible and accommodate your pet’s needs and schedule I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort by following your pet’s routine, maintaining a clean environment, and providing attentive, loving care in your home or mine

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years now! I have had a pet for over 10 years now and I frequently dog sit for friends, family, and neighbors. I absolutely love interacting with all sorts of animals, it brings me so much joy. Your pet will be in great hands and will have the most fun!

“This was my first time using Rover so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Cleo was great to work with. She was super responsive and attentive to my cat. My Goldie typically doesn’t like people. She hides. I love that she provides pictures. Goldie didn’t hide and watched Cleo. That’s really a good start. This service was easy to use and I will definitely use Cleo again.”

“Stefanie is AWESOME! You cannot find a better pet sitter! My family and I were looking for a professional pet sitter who had experience working with senior dogs with special needs. My dog, Athena, requires a specific diet with medications and is almost blind. I booked Stefanie for three afternoon "drop-ins". She came a week before our booking for a meet and greet and the years of experience working in an animal hospital and taking care of pets became evident instantly. Stefanie knew how to to help my blind dog feel comfortable by allowing Athena to approach her and initiate the interactions. She is such a professional, taking notes, asking questions, and going over my instructions, helping to ensure that the drop-ins were going to go as smoothly as possible for Athena. Stefanie has a very strong work ethic. She is extremely punctual and reliable. Athena requires a specific diet and medications have to be given in a specific amount and order. Stefanie followed my instructions perfectly. She kept me regularly updated with detailed texts and many photos, including how she prepared Athena's food. She even cleaned her water bowl every day. Stefanie did so many wonderful things for Athena and went above and beyond the booking. My family and I are not only impressed with her sense of responsibility, but her patience and kindness towards our precious girl is priceless. Athena showed how much she trusts Stefanie by wagging her tail when she arrived and allowing Stefanie to give her a belly rub. This is huge for a blind dog. Athena was even looking for her the next couple of days. Clearly, Athena trusted Stefanie with her care and so do I. My family and I plan to book Stefanie again and again! She is a rare gem and (we are) so grateful to her!”

About: I have raised two puppies of my own, a German shepherd and a border collie mix. I have been there through their training and was there to take care of them during their neutering aftercare. Both are the sweetest and most lovable pets to me and my family. I also have dog-sat for family members and friends and all of them left me good reviews. They relied on me to play and feed their dogs accordingly. I would consider myself a golden retriever sitter as I have so much energy to run and play with my fur friends. Don't get me wrong though, I also enjoy a good lazy day to stay inside and cuddle! I am on summer break and am available to pet set whenever is needed! I love being outdoors and with nature but I can also just stay inside and have a comfy day! I live in a small apartment so my place might only be ideal for smaller dogs. However, I have no problem staying nights with pups who need someone. I will base my energy off of each individual pup. I know some love attention more than others and I will do my best to make sure your pup feels comfortable with me. I am always ready for play time and walks! I can am also very aware of my surroundings and won't let them out of my sight if needed.

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have one dog, and three cats at the moment. I love how they show their love and how they can really brighten up our days. I work at a school as an instructional assistant. So the pet care will have to be before and after work. I have weekends off. I care for my pets at home by walking my dog, playing outside with my dog, playing inside with my cats and their toys, they love the laser toy. I feed my animals morning and night and sometimes they get an afternoon snack. I love to relax with them on the couch while watching TV. I also allow them on my bed when it’s time to go to sleep.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who had the privilege of caring for my own dog for 14 amazing years. Through that experience, I learned how important patience, attention, and love are when it comes to caring for pets. I understand that dogs are family, and I will treat your pet with the same kindness and care I gave my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I want your dog to feel safe and happy while you’re away. My sweet dog recently passed away after 14 years together, and caring for other dogs is a meaningful way for me to continue sharing that love. •Dog Care Skills• 🦴🐾 Feeding and maintaining pet routines Dog walking and exercise Sending photo and video updates to owners Providing companionship and playtime Quick communication with pet parents •About Me• I am currently a college student and a huge dog lover. I had my own dog for 14 years, so I understand how important pets are and how much care they need. I enjoy walking, playing with dogs, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I always follow your pet’s routine and send updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to caring for pets throughout the day. I enjoy going on walks, spending time playing with dogs, and making sure they get the attention and exercise they need. I make pet care a priority in my daily routine and plan my schedule so that pets are never left without proper care and supervision. When pets are in my care, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding schedules, walks, and any specific routines their pet is used to. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm environment so they can feel relaxed while their owners are away. I also send updates and photos to keep owners informed about how their pet is doing.

“Allen was great! We were looking for someone to drop on on our dog while we were out all day. He arrived exactly when scheduled and took care of her and spent some quality time with her. The photos were great - seeing her play and getting fed made a big difference. Knowing that our dog was being cared for while we were out for a long day helped us enjoy the day. Highly recommend Allen :)”

About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur baby. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also enjoy keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages for extra peace of mind! My schedule allows me to provide pet care on Wednesdays and weekends, when I have plenty of free time to give pets my attention and care. I work Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays until 6 PM, so I’m also available for evening visits and walks on those days. I’m organized, reliable, and happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that fits their pets’ needs. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow their usual feeding schedule, provide fresh water, take them on walks, and make time for play, cuddles, and attention. I respect each pet's routine and personality, keep their space clean.

About: I’m planning to pursue a pre-veterinary path in college, and I’ve had the opportunity to intern at a local animal hospital where I gained hands-on experience in a professional pet care setting. Through this internship, I learned how to monitor animal behavior and it has given me exposure to a variety of breeds & personalities. In addition to my clinical experience, I’ve grown up caring for my own dog who has now passed and have pet sat for family friends’ dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, and running/walking energetic dogs (my pup was a puller) My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind knowing their animals are in capable and caring hands. I am now on summer before I start college at the end of Sept, so my schedule is very open and flexible! I drive my own car so transportation will never be an issue. I live in a gated community in a three-story townhome, which does include stairs. For dogs staying in my home, I always monitor pets closely and keep a clean, pet-friendly environment. However, I typically prefer house sitting in a client’s home, as it allows pets to remain in their familiar space and routine. I find that most animals feel less stressed when they can stay in their own environment, and I’m committed to maintaining their normal schedule, safety, and comfort.

We’re so glad we found Andrea! She took wonderful care of our three cats during our trip and made the experience much less stressful for us. Our cats are sensitive to changes in their routine, and one of them has special needs and lives separately from the others. Andrea handled their different needs with patience and attention, kept us updated with photos, and was always responsive and accommodating when we had additional requests. We especially appreciated that she took the time to interact with our cats rather than simply completing the basic tasks. One of our favorite moments was seeing photos of Leo affectionately rubbing his face against her hand. It was reassuring to see him so relaxed and comfortable with her. What touched us most was something Andrea did entirely on her own. When she learned about Tom, a stray cat we feed outside our home, she offered to leave him some food and made sure he had fresh water. We never expected her to take on that extra responsibility, and her thoughtfulness meant a great deal to us. Andrea is dependable, considerate, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We’re grateful for the excellent care she provided and would happily book her again. We highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! ❤️🐾

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Norwalk

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Norwalk is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $38 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 November 2026, there are 21,239 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Norwalk. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Norwalk. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
