Our kitties loved Tim, and they were very happy and calm when we returned home. He provided lots of play time for the younger cats, and lots of photos while we were away. I think they were disappointed it wasn't Tim when we walked in the door!

Absolutely wonderful. Never had to worry about what my girls were up to to or how they were doing. Rachael kept me well informed while I was out of town. Definitely, I will schedule again.

Absolutely amazing! This was my first time trying Rover and I look forward to using it again! Christina was amazing and responded quickly to my very short notice request. She was loving and caring to my 2 cats and my crazy high energy German Shepard. 10/10 would book with her again and will recommend to any fur parents I know in the future!

Molly was amazing with our two cats. She followed everything I outlined perfectly and was super attentive. Her updates helped us feel at ease while we were out of the country. I knew we left our cats in good hands. I highly recommend letting Molly look after your animals!

Troy was awesome with Asher!! Left very detailed feedback, and got him some much needed exercise during the day while I'm gone. Asher was very tired after, which is the goal! I have no complaints and would recommend to anyone looking to supplement some socialization and exercise for their pets.

About: I have cared for animals most of my life. I have cared for common house pets, rodents, birds, reptiles, and even live stock/ farm animals. My life goal is to become a vet and I have experience taking care of special needs animals. I currently work Monday - Friday 9 hours a day but will be home by 4. I live in a 3 bedroom apartment with 2 friendly cats that have both been raised around dogs most of their lives. There is also a park down the street that is just a few minutes walk. At the moment I do ask that if your furry family member will be a guest over night that a crate is provided for safety of your family and my own. I can care for your furry friends before I leave for work and after I return from work. I am also free most weekends and can watch them from Friday to sunday Your furry friends will not have access to anything harmful and will be allowed on my furniture. For their safety and mine at night I will have them sleep in a kennel.

William is a wonderful and very friendly pet sitter. He came to visit prior to the job and do a meet and greet. I was impressed with all his zoo background work and you can tell he loves animals. My cats were happy and he sent me a picture to update how they were doing. He followed instructions, and was prompt. I will be using his services again for sure. Highly recommend.

About: I am specifically good with cats, but I love all animals! I love playing with and walking dogs, as well as cuddling and petting kitties. I nanny Wednesdays and Thursdays 8:00am-5:30pm weekly, and also work part time at a retail store. My day-to-day schedule varies, but is fairly flexible. My typical shifts are 10-4, or 1-8 Fri-Tues. With enough notice, I can make most anything work :) I treat all pets gently, and approach with care and intention. I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable with me, so I'll do whatever needed to make sure they are at ease!

I’m very grateful for Timothy! He was able to check on my cat, Moose, with very, very short notice and was super flexible! He sent many pictures each visit and Moose loved him! I will definitely be reaching out again if I go out of town 😊😊

Jacob was exceptional with my cats. He has such a calm, gentle presence. My very skittish boy warmed up to him on the first visit. He followed my care instructions perfectly and communicated clearly and consistently during each visit, which made it so easy to relax while I was away. Jacob is dependable, thoughtful, and clearly a genuine animal lover. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again - we absolutely will.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Norwalk

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Norwalk on Rover is $16.05 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 507 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Norwalk. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Norwalk. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
