“Anner is amazing!!! He is literally the dog whisperer. Lola is happy and with her doggy friends when with him. I love my baby dog and I really appreciate how clean, kind and attentive Anner is. You cannot go wrong choosing him as your sitter!”
“Angelimar is amazing! She watched our senior dog for over a week and was fantastic with her health needs, effortlessly managing a last-minute addition to her medication schedule. Our pup absolutely loved her stay and had the best time tagging along to work with Angelimar for extra companionship. Highly recommend!”
“John was great with our puppy Logan! He sent photos and updates each day and even offered some training tips. Logan seemed happy and exhausted after spending the weekend at John’s. Will definitely book John again!”
“Katia is very loving and warm, took great care of Mochi while I was away. She’s very communicative and sent me how Mochi was doing along with pictures every day. Mochi seemed to have had a wonderful weekend with her and her pup! We felt safe and comfortable with her and I would 100% ask her to look after Mochi again!”
About: Cary - 33, Conor 36. available to dog sit in Darien CT. Currently own a mini Australian shepherd named Rhett. Have both had dogs for the past 10 years. We have experience with puppies, high energy dogs, senior dogs, and dogs with special needs (medical issues, food aggressive, ect.) we’ve seen it all and love each and every one of them. I work from home full time and Conor works from home part time so we never have to leave dogs at home for an extended period of time. We have a yard that backs up to over an acre of open space which is great for dogs. But we always make sure to walk our dog at least twice a day on top of letting him out in the yard since he is very active
“I had a good experience with Alena and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable to care for their dog. She stayed in touch with me throughout Dewey’s stay and sent me photos and updates, which I really appreciated. I felt comfortable and confident leaving Dewey in her care and knowing he was being well looked after. I would be happy to have her take care of Dewey again in the future. Thank you, Alena! 🐾❤️”
“Laura did a great job of communicating throughout my dog’s stay and was very understanding when circumstances changed. Great experience overall and I could tell my dog was well cared for!”
About: I believe every dog is unique and deserves personalized care. I take the time to understand your dog’s individual needs, whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just a peaceful walk. With me, your pup will enjoy fun, engaging activities that keep them happy and healthy. I pride myself on being attentive, reliable, and treating every dog as if they were my own. You can trust me to create a safe, loving, and joyful experience for your furry friend! As someone who works part-time from home, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care for your dog throughout the day. My routine allows me to schedule plenty of walks, playtime, and check-ins to ensure your pup feels loved and comfortable. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I can easily adapt my schedule to accommodate your dog’s needs, making sure they get the care and attention they deserve without interruptions. My home is pet-friendly, safe, and designed to ensure your dog feels comfortable and relaxed. Located just two blocks from a beautiful dog park, I’m able to provide fun outings and plenty of exercise in a safe, dog-friendly neighborhood with great walking paths. Inside my apartment, your pup will enjoy a cozy, secure space where they can rest and play. If I’m caring for your pet at your home, I’ll make sure they feel at ease and maintain their usual routines to ensure a stress-free experience.
“Clinton and his son Lincoln were fantastic. Lots of pictures and videos along with walks and play sessions. Our pup might have had more fun on vacation than we did. Highly recommend!”
“Marilyn was fantastic! It was my first time leaving my 1.5 year old pomsky pup while going on a vacation out of country. I was worried about Loki, but Marilyn took such great care of her and sent pics of Loki playing and sleeping. Marilyn reassured me that Loki was eating and everything was going great. Marilyn took Loki out for long walks and even let her sleep in Marilyn's bed with her. I would recommend Marilyn to all---she is fantastic!! I will definitely ask her to watch Loki in the future! Thank you Marilyn!”
About: Have no fear Val is here! In addition to providing gentle care, I can also keep my clients informed, have an open yard with closed gates, and take regular walks for more fresh air. I can provide Full time care. This consists of 7 days a week from Monday through Sunday! This includes holidays as well. Do you have inquiries? Contact me anytime! My home is smoke free and clean. I have a room dedicated to dogs. In the summer it is cold, and in the winter it is warm. Camera surveillance is installed in the room so that it may be checked over at night.
“I’m not entirely sure where to start but Lena is incredible! If you have any trips planned or honestly just want to send your dog to someone that is very kind, caring, attentive and can train your dog while you’re away, Lena is your person. She kept us updated every day as we are maybe more neurotic than some but we knew our Ruby was in great hands as she had plenty of outdoor exercise, exploring, cuddle time and puzzles! Lena was super organized, communicative and made sure we had peace of mind while we were away that our dog was in the best care. I’m not sure she wanted to come home when we came to pick her up! Needless to say, we’re huge fans of Lena and give her the highest rating. She’s the best!”
“Jorge and his two dogs were fantastic with my Bernedoodle! Excellent communication and regular photo/video updates of all the fun. My dog got lots of exercise and play time, and Jorge even went above and beyond by giving him a bath. Highly recommend and will definitely stay again!!”
“We love Jay! Goose had a great time. He kindly sent us pics of her, which was so nice to see while we were missing her. He treated her like she was his own pooch. I highly recommend Jay and will book with him again.”
“We love, love, love Lily and her whole family, including Speedy. Our dog Flynn is so happy they’re running and playing and feeling like he’s at his home away from home. We can’t recommend Lily enough!”
“Gwynne did a great job with my pup. She has separation anxiety and she made sure that my dog was comfortable. She sent regular updates and my pup came back happy and well cared for. Thanks Gwynne!”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I treat every pet in my care like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and entertained while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or would rather curl up for cuddles and belly rubs. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, walking routines, crate routines, and other care instructions you provide. I also understand that puppies may need extra patience, consistency, frequent potty breaks, and lots of positive attention, while senior pets may need a slower pace, extra comfort, and a little more TLC. Most importantly, I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new. My goal is to give your pet plenty of love and attention while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for by someone who truly cares. 🐾❤️ I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! 🐾 I’m available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and check-ins. Since my schedule isn’t tied to a traditional workday, I can be flexible with early mornings, daytime care, evenings, and weekends. Your pet won’t just be squeezed into my schedule—they’ll be an important part of my day! ❤️ Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. 🐾 I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, boundaries, and any special instructions so I can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable to them. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll keep their environment clean, secure, and stress-free. I’ll carefully follow feeding, walking, potty, crate, and medication instructions provided by you, and I’ll never force interaction with a pet who needs extra time or space to feel comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m also respectful of your space and privacy. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, loved, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. ❤️🐶🐱

AMAZING! We recommend Jordyn highly. She is a great communicator and kept us updated throughout. When she was worried about something she contacted us right away. She has a great home with private fenced backyard. She was kind and loving with RIley and connected to her personality right away. We will use her again for sure!
Melissa took wonderful care of my Cavapoo Mia for three weeks, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. She was extremely caring, reliable, and flexible, and her pick-up and drop-off service was incredibly convenient. Melissa kept me updated throughout the stay with frequent pictures and messages, which gave me great peace of mind. Her backyard was also a huge advantage for Mia, since she loves running outside without leash! I highly recommend Melissa and would absolutely have her care for I again!
Wendy was an absolute blessing. I’m so incredibly thankful for the care she gave my little girl while I was recovering from surgery. I had so many things to worry about, but Boo wasn’t one of them. Wendy sent multiple updates and the most beautiful pictures every day, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Wendy to anyone looking for someone who will care for their fur babies like they’re her own. ❤️
Lily is caring and attentive. We boarded our dogs with her while we were traveling. She took excellent care of the dogs (including administration of medicine), communicated frequently and clearly and put us at ease from the start. Highly recommend! We welcome having her care for our dogs again.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Norwalk can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Norwalk home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Norwalk.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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
- 93% 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.
You and your Norwalk sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
