“Kim provided exceptional care for my 2 dogs while I was away, and I couldn't be more pleased with her services. She showed genuine affection and attention to detail in every interaction, ensuring my furry friends felt loved and comfortable in my absence. Kim’s professionalism and reliability were evident throughout, from our initial consultation to the daily updates she provided during her stay. I highly recommend Kim to anyone seeking a dedicated and trustworthy dog sitter.”
“Destiny was a great sitter for my aging pup. She kept me well informed as to what they were doing, her walks, play and rest. She followed my instructions, sent photos and responded to any questions I had while away. My house was clean and well cared for, too. My dog, who usually gets very sad when I'm away, was happy and her regular self when I returned. I would definitely recommend!”
About: I have taken care of my neighbors, family's, and friend's dogs since I can remember. Whether it be feeding, walking, playing, or ensuring daily care and routine in their lives while their owner is away, I have always been able to shown the additional furry family member the love and care they deserve and need. I am currently a working part-time student on summer break from university. So I have the extra time to be the helping hand you need to help take care of your pets when necessary, whether it be drop-in visits or taking them on a much deserved walk. Ensuring the safety of your four-legged loved one is of the upmost importance and as a pet care provider I like to ensure their safety and comfort through proper care. Such as following any additional comments left by pet owners, taking the extra step to make sure your pet is comfortable while playing in their own yard or enjoying a nature stroll, and also taking the extra step as a pet care provider to watch out for any signs that your pet might be in distress and addressing the situation in a quick and calm manner which ensures the best experience for your loved one.
“Kenisha is the sweetest, most thoughtful soul who gives you peace of mind and goes out of her way to be helpful. Thank you for making it possible for me to enjoy my wedding Kenisha!”
“Oscar was kind, dependable, easy to work with, and a great communicator. While away, he was quick to respond to texts and even sent us updates, videos, and pictures of our cat throughout the day. I’m so happy to have found someone like him to help us when we travel, and our fur baby seemed to have really enjoyed his company too!”
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.
“Wendy recently watched my 2 dogs while I was away in Europe for 11 days, and I couldn't be happier with her service. She did a wonderful job taking care of my babies ensuring they were happy and well-cared for.Wendy sent pictures and was very communicative during my time away. When I returned home, I was pleasantly surprised to find the house clean and tidy, which was an added bonus. I highly recommend Wendy for anyone needing a reliable and caring pet sitter. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Tatiana looked after our dog Delilah whilst we were in England for a week. She did a truly wonderful job- taking great care of Delilah and of our house and kept in touch with the loveliest photos and videos. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of dogs and cats, including pit bulls, golden retrievers, poodles, senior dogs, and tabby cats. I’ve 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 you’re 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, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I’ll keep you updated with how your pet is doing and treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I currently work evening shifts at my family’s restaurant in Darien, so I’m generally available for pet care during the mornings and afternoons, as well as some evenings. My work schedule does not interfere with housesitting, and I’m able to provide attentive care throughout the day and overnight. For walks and drop-in visits, I’m 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. She’s 11 and gets along with every animal she meets. When taking care of a pet at client’s homes, I prioritize leaving it in the same or better condition than I found it.
“We hired Jocelyn to housesit our dog Arthur and she was fantastic! She was a great communicator from start to finish, sent us lots of photos, and went the extra mile to ensure he was well taken care of during our trip. She also left our house exactly as it was when we left and was a gracious guest. We would absolutely book her again!”
“This was our third trip with Nicole staying with our dog Buster, and we could not be happier with her! Buster is a sweet and friendly dog, but he has stomach problems and he also barks a lot. Nicole handles all of this beautifully. I can see on her photos that she has developed quite a relationship with Buster! He likes her and he is his crazy self with her! It is great to leave for a trip with such confidence in a pet sitter!”
About: As a dog mom of 3, I understand the value and importance of quality pet care. My own dogs are truly my family, and I will provide the same care for your dogs that I give my own. My goal is to make sure that you have peace of mind while you’re away by giving your best friend the love, care, and attention they deserve. I’m currently in between full time jobs so I have pretty open availability right now! I am happy to be flexible for what will fit best in your schedule. I currently live in an apartment with my own dogs, so apartment living is no problem for me! I’m happy to learn your dog’s typical route to keep them in their routine! I understand that every dog has their own needs and quirks, so I will do my best to make sure that your dog’s routine stays as typical as possible. I am happy to accommodate anything they might need!
“Emma provided frequent updates with photos while we were gone, letting us know our pup was happy and well taken care of! We could tell our dog was comfortable with Emma from the first meeting, and she was relaxed when we got home, so we know their weekend together went well. Would definitely book with Emma again!”
“Valeria stayed with our Chancey for a full week. She sent frequent updates of their walks and play together. Apart from taking such great care of Chance, she communicated very well when there was an issue with our ACs. She also went above and beyond to ensure we returned to a tidy house. Thank you Valeria, we are lucky that we can count on you with our fur baby 🐕.”
“She stayed at my house and took care of my dog she did a fantastic job! I am so pleased with her! She made sure she didn’t leave a mess in my house and took pictures of the dog all the time it was great I am so pleased I would definitely use her again”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Norwalk
Sarah was so wonderful with our dog Piper while we’re 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
Makenzi was amazing! She watched our two dogs while we were away for a week, and it was so reassuring to know our dogs were in such great hands! Makenzi sent us pictures and updates throughout our trip, which we loved to see their pictures!! We’re so glad to have met her and to have her watch our dogs again for our next trip!

FAQs for House Sitting - Norwalk
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Norwalk on Rover is $73.26 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,359 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Norwalk. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s 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 home’s security or appliances.
It’s 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 they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s 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 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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
