About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I’m an animal lover who understands that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to following your pet’s routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or extra cuddles. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently part time working! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals are a big part of my life. I make time each day for feeding, playtime, walks, attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. Since I have two cats of my own, I understand the importance of keeping a consistent routine and providing companionship, even when owners are away. I’m able to incorporate pet care into my schedule by dedicating time for visits, walks, check-ins, and giving each pet the attention they need. I enjoy spending time with animals and love being able to provide reliable, loving care for pets and peace of mind for their owners. I care for pets by creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while respecting their normal routines. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime, walks, and any special needs their pet may have. I understand that pets feel most comfortable when their routines stay consistent, so I do my best to make the experience as stress-free as possible. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, calm space where they can feel comfortable and receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Whether at my home or a client’s, I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they feel safe and loved.
“This was our 2nd time having Oscar come to our home and take care of our pets. We had an even BETTER experience this time around!! The confidence we had to leave for 2 full weeks was wonderful and empowering. A well deserved vacation was accomplished because Oscar is a trustworthy young man, who our finicky dog LIKES! Hoping Oscar will be available in the future - he's the best!”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life, with experience caring for breeds of all sizes.

“Laura took our 3 year old Corgi Jack into her home and did an incredible job taking care of him. She is so responsive and a natural with dogs. She treated him like her own and sent us updates and pictures several times a day.

We will trust Laura with all of our dog sitting needs in the future and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Brandon completely went above and beyond to care for our two cats and home while we were gone for a week and a half! He asked thoughtful questions, followed all directions to a T, and often sent some greatly appreciated picture/video updates (and prompt responses). We were SO grateful to return home to find our cats in amazing spirits after clearly having some solid companionship, and to find our house exactly as we left it. Would absolutely book with him again!”

“If you want to leave your dogs with someone and never worry at all about their mental well-being, their feeding needs, their exercise then you need to hire Jesse as your sitter. He's taken my care of my dogs for many days and I will say there is no better. Not only were my dogs, completely relaxed and happy, but my house was also immaculate and every instruction was followed to the tee, including the complicated medical things that one of my dog needs to have followed. Jesse is all around the best I've had!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stamford
Nicole recently took care of our dog Buster for a week. She has stayed with Buster many times, and it's always a great experience. She sends videos or photos daily, along with an update. Nicole is easy to reach if we have any questions. We do not worry about Buster while she is there, and we will not plan a trip unless Nicole is available!
Allison did a great job taking care of our senior dog, Bob Barker. It was our first time working with someone through Rover, and very happy we did. She stopped by to meet him before our trip and walk through his routine, then communicated with us during the trip. Bob and the house were in great shape and we look forward to booking with Allison again this month when we're out of town for another weekend.
After a last minute cancellation Crystal came in like a super hero! She had valid concerns with our older girl and worked with us via messenges to make sure she eats. Handled all the extra care of 3 dogs and one with many health issues. Had a few other thing pop up and she handled like a pro. 10/10 would recommend and if needed I will get her again!!!
Janine was the BEST! She took excellent care of the dogs - she genuinely loves dogs. I hate to leave my dogs with anyone, but they are so happy with Janine it made my trip possible. I didn’t worry for a second. She also took excellent care of the house. I will only ever leave them with Janine from now on.
Nicole did an amazing job at watching our dog Georgi overnight in our home. It was our first time leaving him overnight and we felt completely comfortable and at ease knowing Nicole was there with him. She communicated a lot throughout her time in our home with how things were going and included many pictures. She was polite to our space and kept it clean when she left. We would definitely recommend her and will be rebooking in the future!
Matt cared for my 10 month-old puppy this past weekend, and was absolutely incredible. He was kind, communicative, punctual, and took great care of my (high energy!) pup and of our home. I highly recommend working with Matt if you’re looking for someone to look after your furry friend. He’s wonderful!
Leca once again took excellent care of our cat and home. Our shy girl warmed up SO quickly thanks to Leca’s cat whisperer energy and therefore was able to enjoy lots of pets, brushing sessions, and playtime. Leca went above and beyond by watering our outdoor plants every day so our tomatoes didn’t die in the hot and humid weather. She is all-around an excellent sitter whom we recommend highly!
Emma was fantastic to work with from start to finish. We came home to find the house exactly as we left it, and she sent plenty of updates with pictures throughout our stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was incredibly responsive and responsible the entire time. We had zero hesitation leaving our girls in her care, and it was clear they made a new friend — they were so happy with her. Highly recommend!
I am simply amazed at the care that Chris gave to my 2 havanese dogs and 2 kitty’s. It was beyond my expectations. Not only is he a fabulous person himself but he takes care of not only your pets but your home as well. Five stars does not explain his level of service. 10000 out of 10. Chris is truly one of a kind. He is simply fantastic ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Stamford is $78 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $104 per night. 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 8,177 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stamford. 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 Stamford 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 Stamford 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 Stamford 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 , 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 .
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 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.
