“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!”
“Irene was wonderfully communicative and took great care of our Chihuahua mix. It's such a relief having someone close by who can look after our dog like her own. I definitely plan to leave Pinky with Irene again in the future!”
“I was so fortunate to have found Anastasiia to watch our dog Axel when we traveled to Europe. We had booked a sitter who cancelled - leaving us with very little time to find another over the holiday season. We had Anastasiia was reasonably priced compared to some of the other sitters available (watch out for price gouging during the holidays). I had booked someone who was less expensive but when we did the meet and great, I saw that they were using Rover to run a kennel: 10 dogs kept in an 8x6 garage - with no one home! I took a chance on Anastasiia because she is new to Rover. When I met her in her home, I could tell right away that Axel would be in good hands! The home is charming and so was Anastasiia's partner :-). During Axel's stay he got to go to the park and play and even got to go on a hike. Anastasiia asked me if it was ok to take him and how he was in the car. The pictures of their adventure made me smile :-). I was sent lots of pictures during Axel's stay - most either playing or lounging lol Axel was in good spirits when we picked him up. I felt comfortable and confident that my family member was being given good care while we were overseas. I highly recommend.”
“First time using Rover and had a great experience working with Andrea. She was very communicative and flexible understanding my needs. My pup seemed to have had a great time!”
“Great Boarding experience - Our two 8 year old golden retrievers boarded with Kevin and Ana for 11 days. After a successful meet and greet followed by a doggy daycare visit to acclimatize our dogs to Kevin and Ana and their dogs, we opted for the pick up and drop off service to make the separation process less stressful for our dogs. Kevin asked thoughtful questions about the contingent medication during pickup. Straight away we could tell from the videos after their arrival at Kevin and Ana's house that our dogs were more relaxed vs. the initial daycare visit. Kevin and Ana provided video and updates of our dogs during their stay. The best endorsement of Kevin as a boarding host was provided by one of our dogs at drop off time. After cheerily greeting us, she kept returning to Kevin for more attention as we chatted, clearly signaling a top-level canine approval rating.”
“Arly is always great for our anxious little dog Hazy. She is reliable and flexible and we have used her services many times now. We’re so happy to have someone we can trust with our pup. Definitely recommend!”
“Robin took great care of our dog. She sent updates throughout the day and when we picked him up, I could tell he was very relaxed and happy and enjoyed his time with her and her family. We will definitely use her again for our dog!”
“I left my dog, Rory with John for a week while on vacation. He showed his interest and care for the dogs in his many daily walks and play time. A video showing all the dogs playing was sent to us at the end of each day. John talked to the dogs and called them each by name, and they all seemed happy and relaxed. The dogs he accepts are not aggressive and are very social. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation feeling confident that my puppy was being well cared for. My dog came home from a week at John’s both happy and tired. I would highly recommend John for dog sitting and definitely plan to utilize his services in the future. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> My name is Rory. I spent the week at John’s house while my family went on vacation. I was a little nervous. But I had a great time! John took good care of all the dogs there. We went for a couple of daily walks all together, that was fun. Toward the end of the day, we had play time in the yard that John video-taped and put to music. I felt like a star! I would love to go back again. Thank you John and all my dog friends for a fun week!”
“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!”
“I have a bit of a nervous dog that immediately connected with her and didn’t seem in the hurry to leave I expected when I picked her up…that says a lot! She was also very thorough in making sure she could meet Daisy’s needs”
“Very nice gentleman. He had a lovely small fenced in front yard, perfect for my small, elderly dog. He sent pictures daily and took good care of her.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a young girl. From working in pet stores, to boarding places, dog walking and sitting watching/walking friends and families pets. I started vet school but having children I had to put it on pause for now. I know to give medication, prepare meals bathe and so on. My love for animals is very strong and I’ll treat them just like my own . I’m currently working part time at a day care so which I have mornings and evenings open to take care of them and the weekend are available to watch your pets. I have a full fence in yard which is safe for your dogs to go out to use the potty and play. Inside is a safe environment as well with lots of love and playtime . We do have a older cat , a Guinea pig and a rat terrier who loves other dogs and cats.
“Charlotte was amazing with our shih tzu, Noodle, and really came through for us when we had a last minute weekend getaway and needed a dogsitter. She was super communicative, responsive and easy to coordinate drop off/pick up with. Will definitely book her in the future!”
“Tina and Jon went above and beyond to ensure we felt completely at ease leaving our 5-year-old Italian Greyhound in their care while we traveled to Canada. They provided consistent updates throughout our entire trip, sending a plethora of videos and photos that kept us connected to our pup. The fenced-in backyard was a fantastic perk, and we loved seeing all the adventures she went on with them. If you are looking for a five-star pet sitter, Tina and Jon are the ones for you!”
“I travel often and have been using Michelle for over 3 years. Java is always excited to see her. I never worry about how Java is doing when she is with Michelle and her family. Her setup is ideal with a fenced yard and a sweet dog for company. I recommend her highly!”
About: I began pet sitting for neighbors in Boston and continued building my network after moving back to Connecticut. I now care for dogs throughout the year for friends and their families, usually four to five weeks annually. I work fully remote, so pets get steady company and attention throughout the day. I enjoy having animals around and treat them like part of the routine, not an interruption. I have an indoor cat who is fully vaccinated, so dogs are still welcome. If your pet needs a calm home, a reliable schedule, and someone who is present, I am a strong fit. I work fully remote, so pets are with me throughout the day. I start early, which leaves time for morning routines before work, and I take regular breaks for walks and check ins. Evenings are for longer walks, feeding, and downtime. If a pet has specific needs, I adjust my routine to match them. Pets stay in a calm, tidy home where I am present throughout the day. I work fully remote, so dogs get steady company, regular walk breaks, playtime, and a consistent routine. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, medication needs, and any rules you share. My indoor cat is fully vaccinated and comfortable with visiting dogs. I introduce pets slowly and make sure everyone has their own space. If your dog has specific routines or preferences, I adjust to match them.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Norwalk
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.
Melissa was wonderful! She sent me lots of photos every single day, and it was clear from them that my dog was happy, comfortable, and having a great time with her. She was very responsive throughout the stay and took excellent care of all his needs. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with Melissa again!
Wendy was very attentive and a great communicator throughout Cinnamons Stay. She sent lots of pictures and it looked like Cinnamon was having a great time! When cinnamon got home she slept almost the whole day she was so tired. If Cinnamon could talk I'll bet she would say that she had a great time and cant wait to go back! We have already booked another adventure for Cinnamon with Wendy!
Irene was wonderful with my two dogs. Even Sasha who is extremely shy warmed right up to her. Both even ran back to give her a farewell when I picked them up. I was attending a family wedding in Connecticut and I am living in Florida. Irene made me so comfortable leaving them so I could enjoy myself. She even met with me before-hand since I am from out of town and was nervous leaving them. It was a great experience for my pups and myself. thanks Irene and Rover!

John was great with our dog while we were away for vacation. We got daily videos to see how she was doing. We always saw a wagging tail! We also really appreciated that he took the time for a “meet and greet” before our vacation to make sure she was a good fit with Pizza and all the other dogs.
Olivia was extremely professional and took great care of my dog. Since it was my first time booking with her, I really appreciated the daily updates and photos she sent while I was away on vacation. She made me feel comfortable and reassured knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! 🐾💕
Jackie took good care of Maggie, our Catahoula mix, over a long weekend. Jackie sent frequent photos, and Maggie looked happy in all of them. This was the second time we've left Maggie with her, and we'll be happy to ask her to watch Maggie again the next time we go away.
Azucely S. was amazing with Chewy and took such great care of him. Her communication was excellent, and she kept me updated the whole time, which really gave me peace of mind. Chewy looked so comfortable and happy with her, and it truly felt like he was right at home. I would definitely trust her with him again and highly recommend her.
Amazing experience from start to finish. You can tell right away that they are clearly experienced dog handlers who genuinely understand and care about the dogs in their care. We felt completely comfortable leaving our pup with them. They even gave her a bath before dropping her off — such an unexpected and appreciated touch. Truly full service. She came home happy, clean, and well cared for. We will absolutely be using them again!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Norwalk sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Norwalk landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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.
