“Hillary was great at handling all my questions since the day I was leaving my cat started having issues with his eye. She followed my snack and medicine request perfectly and made sure everything in the house was secure before she left. Both cats were happy and well taken care of.”
“Mark was great with my boys. He was very attentive and kind. Me being away for a week is real stressful for my cats, but he made them feel at ease and comfortable. He even took quality time to play with the kitten, which made the kitten so happy. Mark was great with communicating and keeping me updated with the visits. I would use Mark again and highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a professional sitter who is kind, gentle and caring.”
About: I have had pets my whole life that I’ve cared for and loved for many years . I also have experience professionally from working at kennels , pet daycares , pet hotels and animal hospitals/clinics . I’m very passionate about animal care and just animals overall as I am even studying to enhance my skills. Pet care is already what I do professionally for work and study , there will always be time for me to fit them into my daily routine. In my home I have caged well behaved pets and I have a large yard and walking trails nearby to my home for walks and enrichment .
“Our cats were very happy when we came back, we got consistent updates and photos, she was communicative and she did what we had asked regarding the care of our kitties as well as keeping our home secure. We recommend booking Patricia, and will use her in the future! Thank you! 😻😻”
About: Originally I am a full-time professional nanny, a certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant, Postparum Doula and currently in Lactation Education training. I also had a business within childcare but currently taking a break as I am pregnant! Starting from age 11 I have volunteered with many local organizations including Greenwich Hospital. At the age of 18, I formally started my nannying career with children. But over time with various families, I have fed and taken care of many dogs and cats and have eventually started doing pet sitting on the side with that new found experience. I currently adopted a few stray cats of my own, one of which has IBS, allergies and another with FIV. My Fiancé and I have helped the local community in spaying/neutering stray cats in unsafe neighborhoods that no other rescue feels comfortable in aiding and later on giving the cats for adoption with trusted individuals. We are huge animal lovers and are in process of creating our own non profit to further aid the stray animals of South Norwalk! I adore taking care of both human babies and fur babies 😊 I am only working as a nanny 8:30 am to 1:30 pm on Wednesdays with a family in Norwalk, CT. I have practically full availability as I am currently taking a break from working full time as I am currently pregnant. I currently care for pets within the client's home as I have my own pets at my apartment that my remote working fiancé takes care of when I am working for other families. Will be moving to a large house soon so I will be able to do boarding in another month or so! Our future home has a large basement that we will dedicate solely for boarding cats (to keep our cats separated in the case the boarding cat is not friendly) and we are planning on building a cat room with a catio with cat toys.
About: Fair warning: Pets are a little spoiled in my house! 😊 I've cared for animals my entire life and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've cared for my own senior dog throughout her final years, large and small breed dogs, rescue kittens, and adult cats, including raising my own two cats since they were kittens. I've trained all of my own pets and understand the importance of consistency. If your pet has specific routines, commands, or training practices you'd like maintained, I'm happy to follow them closely so their progress and structure continue seamlessly while they're in my care. I have a genuine soft spot for animals, and every pet in my care receives the highest quality treatment. Whether your furry friend enjoys treats, walks, playtime, or cuddles, they'll receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care and are sure to have a great time while you're away. The day is dedicated to taking care of the fur babies. I'm available 7 days for check-ins, walks, home visits, and boarding. Let's connect and set up a time! My home is a relaxed space for cats or dogs to roam freely. My community offers a fenced in dog park and in my unit I have plenty of vertical space for your cat to rule over, including 2 cat towers and plenty of enrichment toys. I also have a catio on my balcony for some fresh air. If needed, I will separate my cats from more reactive animals while in my care.
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog enthusiast with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all shapes and sizes. I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life- currently, I share my home with the light of my life, Apple - my sweet pup of 4 years. I attend dog training classes every Sunday with her and use top-quality treats to reinforce positive behavior with love, patience, and play. I am also familiar with reactive dog training and advanced tactics to help dogs feel at ease, especially when in their own home environment. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, safe, and well-loved! Whether it's a quick walk or extended care, your pup will be treated like one of my own! I am an elementary school teacher during the school year, so my schedule is very flexible in the summertime. I'm not available for overnights, since I have my own dog at home, but I am available the rest of the day, including most weekends! I am a firm believer in a walk at least every 4-5 hours and ample play and exercise throughout the day. Dogs need stimulation, whether that be through tug, fetch, training through tricks, or sniffing walks. Oh, and lots and lots of belly rubs! I can also take care of any hygiene requests including, but not limited to baths, brushing, and teeth brushing depending on the dog.
About: I grew up with pets all my life especially dogs. whenever my family has went on vacation they would call me to watch and take care of their pets. I also have a 16 year old shih tzu. my dog has allergies so I am well rehearsed in caring for dogs with allergies and administering oral medication or cream/ointment medication. He is also going blind so I have experience on handling dogs with vision impairment as well as neurological issues. I work full time during the week. tuesdays and thursdays i would be available after 4, monday wednesday and friday after 6. my weekends are completely open! my dog is a rescue so I have a lot of experience with anxious animals. I'm also very good at keeping a set schedule for the animals if needed for food or play time.
“Katherine was amazing with Sam. She was super patience in learning his schedule and was on time. I was super impressed he felt comfortable being around her, he usually hides. That means she have a good energy haha i will def be booking with her again.”
“A fantastic relationship through and through. Kim is extremely responsive to communications. Her interaction with my little dog Fred - who is very shy and tentative with new people - was great. She reassured me during my trip that Fred was doing well and interacted with Kim very well. I am grateful for the sitting / home visits Kim provided. I would not hesitate to use Kim in the future.”
“Anna was great! Made sure my kitty had his medicine on time and gave good cuddles to both of my kitties. She sent amazing photos and had great communication the whole time. Thank you so much Anna!”
“Alysa was one of the best pet-sitters we have ever had! I would most definitely recommend her. She was communicative, timely, asked questions to confirm, and paid attention to details. Thanks for taking care for our Bailey!”
About: I have my own love bug-Nilla! She is a miniature schnauzer who is scared of everything but does really well with other dogs! Looking to dog sit to give her a friend and more play dates! I treat your dog like my baby 🫶🏽 they are in great hands! https://www.rover.com/sit/jaylas45069 Get a discount using my link! I currently work in office and a few days at home every week and this is noted in my availability dates! I am only available when I’m working from home. I have a ton of space for the pets to roam around and explore. They are more than welcome to numerous pet beds, the couch, and my dog’s favorite—the window seal for views of birds going by! I will be able to take your pet out according to your schedule and I am used to taking my pet out frequently to potty and usually a longer walk mid-day for exercise and to get some energy out!
About: I have taken care of various dogs since I was 12 years old. I have walked dogs from 3 months old to 14 years old, each with unique love and care catered towards the pup! I am currently working part time, so I have lots of free time to spend with some fluffy friends. I have a 9 year old havanese at my home who I love and care for as well. I'm happy to go off what you as the pet owner think is best for your pet. Every pet has their own quirks and preferences. I'm flexible to do long or short walks, dog park visits and playtime.
About: Dogs are my world! I care for five of my own, groom, train, and teach tricks. I love dog sitting for friends and family, making sure every pup gets playtime, belly rubs, and lots of love. From wiggly puppies to wise seniors, I keep tails wagging and spirits high! Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I care for my own dogs every day through feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, and basic training. I also regularly dog sit for family , so I’m used to planning my schedule around pets and making sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and care. The pups I watch will have their own cozy space in my room with a fun playpen and lots of toys! They’ll get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. My own dogs stay downstairs, but if the owner is okay, their pup can safely hang out and play with my friendly fur babies. Every dog gets a happy, safe, and tail-wagging environment while in my care!

Lilly is absolutely amazing and the perfect match for our family! I had to find a new sitter last minute and was hoping for someone who kept their calendar updated, had a flexible schedule, responded quickly, and offered reasonable rates. Lilly checked all the boxes and more! She responded right away, agreed to stay at our home with our sweet (but needy!) pitty, and even scheduled a meet-and-greet the same day we reached out. Throughout the week, she sent daily updates and photos, helped with a little walking training, and didn’t mind our 60-pound dog snoring on her head at night! To top it all off, she left the house spotless and tidy before we returned from our trip. I can’t recommend Lilly enough—she went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful!
Kevin & Ana are a great team. My dogs warmed up to them very quickly. They gave the full attention to both my energetic jack Russell Terrier and my old timer 12yr old pitbull. This was our second booking and my dogs are sure looking forward to seeing them again.
Micheal did such a wonderful dog with Daisy. The report cards let us know that walks were timely, a great length and loved that we could keep up with the photos he provided. Daisy is “newly” adopted and we are still learning her ways and with Micheal’s skills we could see how helpful he was with advancing Daisys own comprehension of commands. We will absolutely be using Micheal in the future as long as he’s not already fully booked.
Wendy Johanna was really great watching our dog for a few days! Our dog is usually anxious and timid with new people but she seemed to warm up to Wendy quickly. Wendy was great at communicating with us and sending lots of updates, photos and videos that really helped us relax knowing our dog was being looked after. I’d definitely recommend Wendy and will use her again in the future! 🐶
Daniel was the absolute BEST! We could not have asked for a better dog watcher. My family and I were away, leaving our pups alone for the first time. Daniel was super reassuring before, during and even after his time with us. He is very responsive to messages, sends check in messages with every visit and even did some extra efforts to make sure our pups felt comfortable. 10/10 recommend.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Norwalk stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Norwalk with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
