I treat every dog based on what it is that they need and truly have a genuine love for all animals I currently work during the day but I get out early most days with a flexible schedule. I am very active and love going to new places I make sure that they are comfortable, and that I familiarize myself . I am Punctual, responsible, and considerate in other peoples homes.

About: Iâve cared for a wide variety of dogs and cats, including pit bulls, golden retrievers, poodles, senior dogs, and tabby cats. Iâve also cared for pets with medication and dietary needs, including both oral and injectable medications. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while youâre away. Whether that means a long walk, plenty of play and attention, sticking closely to their feeding routine, or simply giving a nervous or senior pet some extra patience, Iâm happy to adapt to their individual needs. Iâll keep you updated with how your pet is doing and treat your pet with the same care and attention Iâd want for my own. I currently work evening shifts at my familyâs restaurant in Darien, so Iâm generally available for pet care during the mornings and afternoons, as well as some evenings. My work schedule does not interfere with housesitting, and Iâm able to provide attentive care throughout the day and overnight. For walks and drop-in visits, Iâm happy to work around my evening schedule and coordinate times that work best for you and your pet. I have a fenced-in yard and a very docile and friendly golden retriever. Sheâs 11 and gets along with every animal she meets. When taking care of a pet at clientâs homes, I prioritize leaving it in the same or better condition than I found it.

âAnastasia is the best! I'm new to the area and was very anxious about leaving my pets. Anastasia put me at ease from the moment we met. My pets were immediately drawn to her and she showed them an incredible amount of care and love. She's an excellent communicator and sent me regular updates to let me know they were ok while I was gone. She was very flexible with my schedule and overall just a joy to get to know. I highly recommend Anastasia!â
About: I have grown up around and taken care of my own and friends dogs over time. Always have had a love for dogs; I have never hesitated to care for the pets of my friends when they are in need of care. I am an online student and a volunteer at my church that has a very flexible schedule. I have reliable transportation and punctual. I am able to provide care for pets throughout my day and week. Regardless of the service I see to it that they have proper care with not only the basics of food water and bathroom/walks. I also love to play with them and make sure they are socialized and not feel so lonely when their owner is gone.
âCrystal is amazing! She was warm and kind and my fur babies were very well taken care of! The best part - she communicated updates and sent photos very regularly which is what I had asked for. I was very confident that my babies were in loving and caring hands! I highly recommend Crystal!â

âJessica was absolutely amazing at housesitting and taking care of our babies. She communicates wonderfully, sends tons of questions, is able to solve problems without freaking out, and doesnât hesitate to let you know if things happen.

About: Iâve taken care of all types of dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Maltese and Shih Tzu, and now Iâm the proud mama to my big AmBully, Captain! That being said, I have experience with dogs of all sizes ranging from the tiny guys to the big dawgs and all age ranges. Additionally, Iâve worked with highly experienced trainers in the past with my pup Captain so Iâve gained knowledge that is transferable to all dogs. I love dogs more than most so I can assure you your pup will be in the best, most caring hands possible! Feline friends are always loved and welcomed as well. While Iâve never had any of my own, Iâve had many friends with cats and I love them just the same! My special interest is bully breeds (Iâm totally not biased at all!) and especially older pups and pitties. I am also able to lift over 80lbs, so if your furry friend needs a lift I can make it happen. I have a flexible weekly schedule that allows me to care for your pets as needed and maintain as much of their regular routine as possible. I provide care based on the clients wishes! However you normally care for your pet I will continue that for you. If your pet needs crated, Iâm happy to do so. If there are specific areas they arenât allowed, Iâll make sure they stay out! If you have a specific place you like to walk, let me know and weâll go! You tell me and Iâm on it. Iâm huge on pet safety and respect, especially when it comes to being outside. When walking, Iâll always keep them away from the road and from other dogs and humans that pass by. If there are any other things to be aware of (i.e. scared of bikes, likes to chase squirrels, etc) please let me know so I can be extra alert!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Norwalk
Katherine took great care of our two senior cats and our dog. They all get stressed when we go away but we came home to happy, relaxed pets. She sent daily pictures and kept in touch so we knew everyone was doing well. Weâd be happy to have Katherine stay again and recommend her to others.
Sarah was so wonderful with our dog Piper while weâre away for a week. I felt so comfortable with her there, Piper immediately was drawn to her and she took great care of her. The communication was great, she provided updates each day. I would definitely (and plan to!) use Sarah again to stay with Piper.
Ginger was terrific taking care of our older dog while we were away for 10 days. She spent a lot of time with him during the day and slept over at night. We felt very comfortable with Ginger in our home. She had to administer his meds twice a day and also put on and remove his elbow cover . Would definitely use her again!
Briana was absolutely great! On time and attentive to all our wishes, Jax was so well cared for, Briana gave me updates with pictures which it was very important and appreciated. We came home to a happy pup, It was a great relief to know our boy was in good hands!
After communicating with a few different housesitters on this platform, Katlyn seemed to be the most responsible and reliable one. She was very friendly, easy to talk to and Jäger took to her immediately. We felt comfortable leaving her in our home to take care of our 8 year golden retriever for a little over a week. Katlyn texted and sent pics every day- they hung out at the house, played in the yard and went out for walks/hikes. Pics were great- brought a smile to our face every single time:) Katlyn was also very accommodating with a few little changes in the schedule. We felt very fortunate to have her care for our home and our dog. Will definitely like to hire her again in the future! Val Schuermann

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Norwalk is $71 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $126 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Norwalk walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Norwalk maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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.
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitterâs cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, youâll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
