“Jennifer took great care of our kitty girl (and our home) while we were away. She was easy to get in touch with and gave us confidence our girl was in good hands. When we were delayed coming home from our trip, she stuck around for us and helped take care of our dog too. We are all looking forward to having her come back soon.”


“Jeffrey takes great care of our pup, Tia. We used him for visits and walks prior to our most recent week vacation. We recently went away for a week and Jeffrey stayed at our home. He followed any/all directions we had left for our dog and kept us in the loop daily when we checked in. We trust him to stay in our home and take great care of our dog. Our dog is typically anxious and when we got home from our trip, we saw that Tia ate very well while we were gone which is sometimes a struggle when we leave her. We were very happy with her care. We look forward to continuing to use Jeffrey for future trips and daily walks.”


“Samantha is fantastic, she has a gift. My dog is a senior, with difficulty walking and we have to pick her up to get on the sofa, the bed and the stairs, and she did everything with great care. She sent me photos and messages all the time. I will definitely hire her again when I need. to take care my dog. I highly recommend her.”


About: I have been taken care of animals since I’m 25 dogs and cats me and my wife love Animals we have French bulldogs and 2 cats I work full time but have a lot of spare time and looking to do something I love which is taken care of peoples animals Walk my dogs and have a big yard I take them out in to play and run around so I’m always with my dogs and cats

“WOW! Brandi was the BEST fit for my fur baby, Chaka. Brandi is an excellent caregiver, kind, patient, she followed our routine, took extra time and care to make sure that my anxious puppy was comfortable and got plenty of exercise, cuddles and playtime. I have never had a dog sitter take better care of my dog. Typically when I hire a sitter, they take her outside on a quick walk and just bring her back inside, but Brandi went above and beyond! She spent the entire day keeping her company and updated me with photos and videos of their adventures together around the house and at the park. I was blown away by her care and expertise. As far as Chaka and I are concerned, Brandi is family now and I am absolutely booking her again.”


“This our first time leaving our puppy for this long & Jess made it so much easier! The daily updates and pictures made us so happy! Will defiantly be hiring her again!”


“Kayla was absolutely amazing with our two dogs, Bash (6 month English bulldog) and Albie (4yo bulldog mix). We got multiple pictures and updates daily, and came home to two happy and well taken care of boys. She'll be our go to from here on out and would 100% recommend!!”


“Jason was great with our animals. He sent some photos and kept in touch letting us know how everything was going and how sweet our pets were for him. We hope to be able to book him again in the future.”


“Patricia was wonderful from the very first contact! She was willing to help us with everything, and we had a peaceful trip thanks to the way she cared for our dog, Milo. we were able to relax knowing he was in good hands. Patricia is definitely a kind and lovely person, and our dog loved being around her. His anxiety was much better, and we felt much more at ease.”


“Jolene took such good care of our dogs! We were able to enjoy being away at a family celebration without worry because we knew the dogs were in good hands. She brushed them thoroughly -- and even vacumed up the fur! Highly recommend her.”


About: Hi, I’m Dylan, and if you’re looking for someone to care for your pet like family, you’ve found them. I’ve been around animals my whole life. I started with gentle Labradors and now live with a high-energy Siberian Husky, so I know how to handle all kinds of personalities—from calm to chaotic. I’ve also raised cats and understand their unique needs, whether they’re playful, independent, or just want quiet companionship. My experience goes far beyond typical pets. I grew up on a safari park in Zambia, where I helped care for horses, elephants, cheetahs, and even lions. That background gave me a calm, confident approach and a deep understanding of animal behavior. Now based in the U.S., I offer dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits. I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, and almost any animal that needs care. Whether your pet is shy, high-energy, needs medication, or just wants company, I’ll meet them where they’re at—with patience, structure, and real attention. Safety is always my top priority. Your pet will be cared for with love, professionalism, and respect for their routine. Let me know what your pet needs, and I’ll take it from there. I work for Amazon and my shifts are Sunday through Thursday from 8 AM to 4 PM. That means I’m available for pet care during the day and on Fridays and Saturdays. I’m happy to work around your schedule and make sure your pet gets the time and attention they need. I live in an apartment in Wilton with my well-trained husky. I’m comfortable with all dog sizes and temperaments and can accommodate regular walks, potty breaks, and any specific care routines. I prioritize safety, stay calm under pressure, and have experience managing multiple dogs at once.

“Marcella’s mom, Ivana, stayed at our home with our dog for several days and nights. She is a wonderful, warm person and I was comfortable with her immediately. She was great with CiCi (our loving-but-stubborn 70-lb hound pup) and gave her lots of exercise and attention. She kept in touch with us daily and sent photos and status reports 💜 Amazing capable dog/house-sitter, hope to work with her again!”


About: I’ve always enjoyed spending time with animals and I have over 5 years of experience caring for my own cats, and hands-on experience with small to medium- sized dogs. I am comfortable with basic care routine like feeding , walking, and playtime, and I enjoy learning each pet’s unique personality I offer both drop-ins and in-home pet sitting. Since I work remotely full-time, I am flexible with when I can come over to care for your pets I care for pets by creating a calm, safe environment. I understand the importance of routine, gentle handling, and observing subtle behavior changes to ensure pets are happy and healthy.

“Kelsey was awesome with our two dogs (both under 3) Sadie the lab and Charlotte the King Charles! Kelsey worked right through a power outage and as a result my family had a terrific vacation worry free!”


About: Nice to meet you! I go by my middle name, Amelia. I'm a local physician (with many years of animal care experience) who is looking to pet-sit or house-sit in the Danbury area. I am honest, responsible and attentive. I love playing/walking/jogging with dogs, enjoy some more peaceful time with cats. If you have horses that need care, please let me know as well (I used to care for 30 horses)! I have experience giving medicine, feeding new puppies, caring for older pets etc. I'm open to caring for any kind of pet, so long as the situation is safe for everyone involved. I am very punctual and respectful. I am a good listener and follow directions well. Gigs within 15min drive of Danbury hospital will take precedence unless I specify otherwise here as my sched changes. During the week, 6am-7am and 5pm-9pm is walking availability for individual dog walks and drop ins. Essentially full availability for house-sitting (this is where I shine most)! I work locally, usually in Danbury. I will take excellent care of your pets and/or your home. I am very conscientious about ensuring gates/doors are locked, and that your instructions are followed.

“Rafaela is wonderful! Don’t hesitate to book her to care for your pets. She will treat your dog/cat like one her own. Her sweet dog, Mel was a welcome companion for my little toy Papillion. I will most definitely call Rafaela again.”


About: Hello Pet Parents! I'm available for pet sitting, dog walking, and house/plant sitting on a one-time or recurring basis; I am available for boarding only if your pets are dog-friendly & potty trained. Certified by the American Red Cross in Pet First Aid for cats + dogs, fully insured by PCI, and experienced with my own 3-legged 11yo rescue dog's medical needs, I am prepared for any emergency situation life may throw our way. I always travel with a first aid kit for pets (and humans too). I have no problem carefully administering food and medicine (including insulin injections) alongside other care for senior and special needs animals. I am local to Cross River (where I was raised) and can travel up to 12 miles from 10518. I can do overnight stays but cannot be present in the home 24/7, as I have my own dog to feed and walk as well. I only host pets in my own home if they are dog-friendly and potty trained. I will always make sure to leave the home leashed (unless going into fenced in area) and ensure your pet gets back home safely & happily.

Ridgefield pet parents share their Rover experiences
We LOVED Abigale. My dog was unfortunately sick and had multiple accidents in the home and needed medications at meals. This is not something we anticipated when we hired her. She was still willing to care for him. She did the job with great care and patience. I am forever grateful for her obvious loving and caring nature which my senior dog needed. AND she also cared for my cat❤️
