“Devora did a great job watching our new rescue puppy for a week while we were away. We are still in training mode and Devora helped a great deal in getting closer to our goal. We highly recommend Devora for your pet sitting needs.”
“Thanks to Anita, I was able to have another weekend away from my cats and to receive regular assurances that they were happy and doing well. My transition coming back home could not have been smoother (the cats acted like I never left), so I definitely trust that they were well cared for. Anita is the best!”
About: I've had 3 cats and 2 dogs. My current dog is 13. They've all lived a long, happy life. I would be happy to share my love with animals other than my own. Working part-time allows me time to spend with my dog as well as others. I can accomodate any time Monday-Thursday and limited times Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Whether for the work day or a vacation, I understand that it is stressful to leave your animal alone. I will treat your pets and home as if they were my own. Let's chat to see if we are a good fit.
About: I speak Spanish, so feel free to communicate however is better for you! I have personally helped my family and friends with pet sitting since I was a kid. I’ve been scooping poop and petting animals for a long time. I love to be active and can easily adapt if your pet doesn’t. My availability is completely flexible and open to fit your needs! I can be up as early as you need or as late! I currently live with a dog so it is like first nature to provide for your pet’s needs :) As someone who loves animals and also children, certain safety precautions are necessary in my mind. I, also, love to update and share pictures with parents who miss their babies!
“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!”
“Kevin and Ana came exactly when they said, walked my dogs and dried them off from the rain, and were very communicative. When my new address was not updated in the system and they ended up at my old address, they contacted me right away and without hesitation went to my new address 20 minutes away. I will definitely get in touch again when I need a dog walker and sitter!”
About: Whether you need a simple walk, overnight care, or more specialized services (like drop-in visits for feeding and playtime), I offer a variety of flexible options to fit your dog’s routine and your schedule. I know how important it is to stay connected while you’re away, so I send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can see your dog enjoying their time, knowing they're in great hands. I currently have a rather flexible schedule because I only work freelance so I can make plenty of time for your pets and their needs. When I care for pets at your home, I make sure to stick to your pet's usual schedule—whether that’s feeding, walking, or playtime. This routine consistency helps reduce stress and keeps them comfortable in their familiar environment.
About: I’ve taken care of pit bulls, golden retrievers, and tabby cats! Entrusted by friends and family with their pets, I’ve learned that I have a great affinity for animals (maybe more than I do for people) I currently work evenings at a restaurant, and I’m searching for daytime employment as we speak. In the meantime, I’m open to daytime supervision of animals as well as overnights after work. 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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 9 years old. I’ve had two dogs that my sisters and I took care of making sure they got along well and played with each other. I’ve also taken care of my neighbors dogs while they were away on vacation. I’m currently on a long winter break from college, so I’ll have plenty of free time to care for your dogs! I have open availability from 11am to 8pm Monday through Friday, and open availability 10am to 9:30pm Saturday and Sunday. I can care for pets in a client’s home by abiding by a walking and feeding schedule, as well as playing with the pets and giving them lots of love.
“I was a bit hesitant leaving her with anyone, BUT SHANNIA is fantastic with my English Bulldog! She has a right shoulder injury and Shannia picks my dog up (weighing 54 lbs) up and downstairs! She wipes her 🐾 really good! She is amazing”
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.
“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!”
“It was my first time using Rover and Jenn did a great job taking care of my cat, Luna. Luna was a bit nervous and Jenn took the time to make her comfortable and they were best friends by the end! I would definitely book Jenn again in the future.”
“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.”
About: I truly understand dogs- their behavior, body language, and needs. 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. I make sure the home and the dog are taken care of
“I felt very comfortable going out of town and leaving my new cat in Kathy's care. He's very shy but she managed to see him. There was good communication and I found her to be very caring.”
“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.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Norwalk is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Norwalk
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.
Anita was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Mila, during her drop-in visits this past weekend. Mila is currently recovering from a tail injury and has to wear a cone, so we were especially nervous about leaving her, but Anita was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring throughout the entire stay. She went above and beyond what we booked her for — on Saturday she stayed extra time with Mila to make sure she was comfortable, and she even hand-fed her to encourage her to eat. It was clear from her updates that she genuinely cared about Mila’s wellbeing and comfort. Mila also clearly loved her and was excited to see her during the visits, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Anita provided detailed drop-in notes, great communication, and very clear photos after each visit, which we really appreciated. She also brought in our packages for us, which was such a thoughtful extra touch. We’re so grateful for the care and attention Anita gave Mila and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!
Emma is such a thoughtful and caring sitter. She communicates so well and truly stepped up and helped me out in a stressful time. Having a last minute, long trip come up was made easier knowing someone who loves cats and is responsible was helping me out in my apartment and with my cat. Emma even left some extra treats for both my pets and myself. She is so wonderful! Lulu loves her and we are so thankful to have found her.
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! 🐶

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Norwalk on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,472 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Norwalk. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Norwalk. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
