“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.”
“Simply fantastic. Nothing seemed to phase Andrea in the lead up to care of the drop off of Ziggy. I had an issue with refrigeration of food for after his stay with Andrea and Andrea, without batting an eyelash jumped in, solved the issue and made me feel at ease. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Andrea as a sitter again. Great person and knows dogs.”
“Irene was awesome, very good vibes, a peaceful home setting & my Shih Tzu loved staying with her, playing in her big enclosed yard & going on walks with her, etc. while we were on our family cruise. My fur baby was in good hands with her & I'll definitely board her with Irene the next time we go away!”

“Elaine took such good care of our new puppy when we went away for a long weekend! She got a lot of energy out with the other dogs and Elaine gave us some great puppy tips. Will definitely be using her services again.”
“Elvia is the best! Our dachshund loves her and so do we. Super reliable and takes such good care of our pup. We’ve used Elvia for both daytime and overnights and would highly recommend!”
“John is truly the best! He made me feel at ease leaving Asher with him for a week. I have so much anxiety leaving my dog with anyone and it was a breeze with him. He took care of Asher like his own. Great communication! So much outdoor time and buddies to play with! 10/10. Asher will be staying with him again in 2 weeks!”
“Kevin and Ana are the best. Our pup Bruce is officially obsessed with them after a few walks and one weekend stay- he didn’t want to leave! They were so great about acclimating our dog with their neighborhood and house, then slowly introducing him to their own dogs. We received pics and videos all weekend, proving that he was (more than) well taken care of. We will definitely keep booking with these two!”
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.
“This is our second time using Judy and first time with a second dog! This was a trial run for our new dog who is very nervous and shy and by the second day she was showing her belly to Judy! She did great with both of them and provided plenty of updates. We hope Judy will watch our pups as long as she'll have us (:”
“Clinton & his son were terrific. Our dog, Ripley, came home very happy. She got along very well with their dog and they kept each other company. We also received photos while we were away which was great.”
“Rich was great. We received photos daily of Bo who looked super happy. Rich was also very prompt to reply to any messages we left for him. We had a very good experience and will definitely consider using him again.”
“She got really good care from this home doggie day care. It was really amazing to watch her thrive around the new friends she made at doggie daycare. Really great communication and lots of updates, pics, and videos while I was away. It seemed every time I started missing my little Chihuahua I got a pic. Great experience and would definitely rebook.”
“Charlotte was amazing and we will absolutely use her again! Our older boy had a bunch of different medicines to take at different points throughout the day and she was so organized and great with communication. She even went out to multiple stores to find the right low fat wet food he ran out of! Thank you Charlotte!”

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!
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.

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.
