“Jason is an excellent dog sitter, patient, kind and reliable. He encouraged our anxious, blind dog to go for walks, kept us informed of each visit and sent pictures. Our dog liked him and was happy when we got back.”
“Was great to have such a lovely caretaker take care of my kitty while I had to travel. Came out before the scheduled time to meet my cat and the reliable communication was great peace of mind! Would recommend and will absolutely use again.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals, starting at an age 12, I looked after small, medium, and large dogs, as well as parrots and fish. Family and neighbors have always trusted me with their pets because of my dedication and patience. Also, I provide a calm, one-on-one environment. My building has green areas downstairs for frequent potty breaks, ensuring your pet gets plenty of fresh air and personalized attention. As a student, I have a very organized routine. On Tuesdays and weekends, I am available all day for daycare. I’m Fridays, my pet care schedule starts at 3:00 PM, which is perfect for evening daycare or overnight stays. During these times, I am mostly at home studying, so your pet will have my full attention and frequent potty breaks in my building’s green areas! Safety is my top priority. In my apartment, I ensure all areas are dog-proofed and free of small objects. Since I live in a building, I always use a leash when taking pets downstairs to our private green areas to ensure they are safe and secure. I never leave pets unattended and I follow any feeding or medical instructions provided by the owners. I also love sending frequent photo updates so you can see your pet is happy and safe with me!
“Pam was so great with our two kitties while we were away. She was on time every day and we truly appreciated the extra steps she took like vacuuming and offering to take out the trash. Would definitely book again. Thanks!”
“Lydia is exactly what I was looking for in a cat sitter-- reliable, communicative, flexible, and kind and patient with my shy cat. I felt I could rest easy while I was away knowing my cat was in good hands. Thank you so much, Lydia!”
“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.”
“Caitlin has been so wonderful to our boy Wally! He’s an active little guy with some bad puppy habits and we really appreciate Caitlins patience and time with him. We’re excited to work with Caitlin moving forward for regular drop in visits. We’d totally recommend her to any and all prospective clients!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by different types of animals my whole life! No breed is too big or too small, I love them all. I’ve taken care of furry friends ever since I was a child and want nothing more to ensure that they are given the necessary love and affection that they deserve. I currently do work and go to school but I can always make time to care for your furry friend. I’m available for boarding, sitting, and walking! I am mostly available Sunday, Monday, Friday, and Saturday. I always ensure safety for your pet. Following your instructions and wishes are important for the job. Each pet has different needs and care. Getting your pet comfortable and to trust me is very important for great service. Your pets are safe with me!
“I am a new Rover user and was nervous about entrusting my 8-month-old puppy to someone I didn't know. But Samantha exceeded expectations in many ways! She clearly loves dogs and was excited to meet my Yogi. She gave him a wonderful walk, made sure he had plenty of water, and even adjusted her schedule to meet our preferred timeline. Yogi was happy as a clam when we got home, and we are thrilled that we now have a reliable sitter to call for future needs.”
“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.”
About: In my early life, I had bunnies. I then got a bearded dragon when I was 15 and got my first dog in my senior year of high school. My first two pets were not traditional pets but taught me the responsibility of caring for one just the same. I have also worked with puppies and done obedience training with them. In addition, I have experience in adminstering medications I am very skilled with animals, and I've also been around cats and dogs my whole life as well as have 2 cats of my own. I'd be a trustworthy, reliable, and responsible sitter! I have experience with all sorts of dogs and cats, big and small, shy or outgoing, and even dogs or cats that have been rescued from tough backgrounds. Feel free to message me and I will try to get back as soon as possible! I work part time (usually Thursday-Sunday) as a bartender. I usually go in at around 7/8 pm, meaning I can make it for pet dinner time! During the day, I work from home so I have flexibility there. I would care for your pet in your home and follow any directions provided. I would keep the space the way it was when I arrrived and only access pet care areas.
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 until 5 during the week but some days i work from home and would be able to step out during those times. my weekends are 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.
About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a small kid! If you have 3 pups or more, I just charge for 2! When I turned 17 I worked at a doggy daycare called rover retreat, where I fell in love with taking care of dogs! I went to school in Colorado, my native state, for a couple of years, where I dog sat off and on. I decided to pick my life up and move to the city of Stamford with my to be closer with my girlfriend's family. I love to teach pups tricks and enrich the lives of all animals! Even if your pup is difficult or different, I can work with it:) I am experienced with puppies, seniors, diabetics, pets with medication. I've taught dogs how to run with a bicycle and how to do new tricks like handshake and wait. If you choose me, you're guaranteed someone with lots of experience and a big heart for your furry friend(s). My schedule is currently completely open for your pups' care!! I was in school for a couple of years in boulder, met a wonderful girl, and moved with her out east to the city of Stamford. I doordash other than dog sitting so I can easily accommodate. I watch over the client’s pup and give it all the affection and attention it needs while also maintaining decency and care for the space and all beings and things within.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Norwalk
Sarah was an excellent sitter for my shy cat while I was away for a couple of days. She came over to meet him and learn the ropes, took care feeding him and cleaning up after him, and was perfectly communicative and trustworthy. I knew he was in good hands the whole time I was gone. Thank you Sarah!
Patricia went above and beyond! We felt so comfortable having her stop by to care for Riley. She was prompt, communicative, and went above and beyond making sure everything was good for Riley (and us) while we were away. Will definitely be using her again if we need and highly recommend to others!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our two cats! She took care of them for 6 weeks and was absolutely wonderful the entire time, reliable, flexible, and clearly treated our cats like her own. She kept the litter boxes clean, fed them on schedule, and made sure they got plenty of playtime so they never felt lonely. What really stood out was how communicative she was, she sent us photo updates every single visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, healthy cats. Highly, highly recommend her, we’ll definitely be booking her again!
I can’t say enough good things about Dimitri! Pepsi absolutely loves him and I always feel completely comfortable knowing she’s in his care. He’s reliable, genuinely loves dogs, and always follows her routine and care instructions. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring for their dog!
Sofia has done drop-in kitty visits for us two years in a row now for our week long summer vacation and did and excellent job with all of the details. We got daily pics, everything was kept clean, and our kitties were content when we returned. She was even able to accommodate a last-minute request to visit earlier on our day of return, which was a big help to us. Having someone as reliable and caring as Sofia really put our minds at ease so we could enjoy our time away.
I can’t recommend her enough! As a first-time dog sitter user, I was a little nervous, but she made the whole experience so easy and stress free. She’s kind, caring, and trustworthy. Benny is a huge fan too, which says it all! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing dog sitter.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Norwalk is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s 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.
As of October 2026, there are 5,371 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Norwalk. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter’s 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, you’ll 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.
