About: Growing up with cats and various household pets, and loving dogs all my life has lead me to care and appreciate pets into my adult life. Looking to take care of the ones who love us the most for you. I am currently a full time music educator during the weekdays so I am available after school to walk and pet sit on an hourly basis. On Fridays and weekends I am also available for over night care as needed. In your home I will abide by all rules and routines you may have already. I can also ensure consistent care and attention to your pet’s needs.
“Samantha provided drop in visits for our 3 cats while we were away on vacation. She was super friendly, reliable and an excellent communicator. She was also accommodating to our specific requests and we were able to relax knowing that our cats and house were in amazing hands while we were away. We will not hesitate to book Samantha again in the future.”
About: Hello! My name is Skyler and I am currently a mammal trainer at an AZA accredited aquarium with a background in veterinary care. I would love to help walk your dog, whether you have certain training goals or just needing extra help while you are at work! I started my career by walking my friend’s crazy, (but adorable) puppy in high school. I was able to help train the puppy during every walk, and left her tired out when her owner got home. I am off two of the busiest days of the week- Monday and Tuesday. I have full availability to do drop ins, daycare, or dog walks! I have an unfenced yard and plenty of grass out front. I take frequent trips to my local park that has tons of room to play.

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!
“Cam took great care of our cat Sylvester! He was very professional, communicative, and followed all our normal routines which kept Sylvester happy! He also took the time to have a meet and greet with us which we really appreciated!”

“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.”

“Ginger is such a great dog sitter! She was communicative about her visits with our pup and spent lots of time petting and playing with her. We would definitely recommend Ginger and plan on booking with her again in the future!”
“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: Hi there! I’ve mostly taken care of cats, but I’m open to taking care of dogs & god walking if they are good with people. I work from home so having a pet to play with on my breaks will for sure keep me entertained all day! I’m a young, energetic man who works a remote corporate job. Looking for a pet to love & play with during the day so I don’t stare at my screen all day. My schedule is pretty flexible since I work from home. I do usually eat dinner with my family, so it would be ideal if I could go back home for a couple hours in the evening to eat with them. I’m an affectionate person who loves to play with pets because they get exercise & I get to destress. Especially since I work from home, I definitely have the time to give your pet the care & attention that you request. Lastly, as someone who loves to talk, I talk to pets all the time, of course in a sweet tone because I truly believe that dogs & cats can understand the things we say to them!
About: I owned and adored many animals from the day I was born until I was 21 when my beloved golden retrievers passed away. It wasn't until my dad began walking and boarding dogs for Rover that I realized how much I wanted to help. He started at a local senior living home, where we met Clouseau, a dementia patient's dog we adopted. I also worked there for two years, serving food to the residents. Clouseau was the first of many dogs my dad took in for his Rover job. There were usually up to 7 dogs in the house at a time, including ours. I love dogs, so naturally, it was heaven to me! I assisted my dad with daily walks and took on one of his client's dogs. His name is Scout, and I've been walking and boarding him for three years since he was a puppy. I have consistently been a dependable dog walker for Scout and a trusted and reliable resource for pet-sitting services during other friends' vacations. I enjoy working with Scout so much that I started my Rover account to expand my knowledge of animals and spend my time aiding in their healthy, happy lives! I aim to treat every animal as my own since I don't own any pets. I guarantee safe, loving, and attentive care. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate early morning, lunch, and late afternoon walks. I am also available throughout the week to suit your pets' needs. My home is a secure apartment with ample space for pet care. I ensure their safety by using proper equipment and maintaining clean, well-supervised areas. While there isn't a fenced area for your pets, numerous safe spaces are available for walking and play. Rest assured, your pets will be in a secure and comfortable environment under my care.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life, with my first dogsitting gig being when I was just six years old! I am now a dog mom myself, as well as a full time teacher and part time dog groomer. I love all kinds of animals and would love to help you with your dogsitting needs! I’m a teacher, so I have the summers off but I am working part time as a dog groomer to bide my time. During the school year, I am home by 3:30 every day. After work, I take my own pup on walks or hikes, to the park, or do enrichment activities inside! I strive to maintain an open line of communication with clients, as my dog sitters have always had with me. My priority is keeping your pup(s) safe, happy, healthy, and tired!

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.

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.
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.
