About: I have cared for dogs my entire life and have experience with dogs of different ages and needs. I am dependable, attentive, and passionate about animal care. I enjoy spending time with dogs and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently work from home so I have a lot of free time. Why not spend time with furry friends! It’s also a great opportunity to take a breather and get fresh air during daily dog walks. When caring for pets in a client's home, I ensure that their daily routines are maintained to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I also make sure the home remains clean and secure while providing pets with plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I am attentive to each pet's individual needs and committed to creating a safe, loving environment while their owners are away.

Cassidy was a stellar sitter for my two cats! We were gone for 10 days which was the longest in a while that they’d been on their own and we came back to very happy, well-taken-care-of buddies, even our stand-offish diva cat who only came out a few times for her. Cassidy’s daily updates were sweet and thorough and she even let us know about a small issue with the house. Absolutely wonderful experience!

Aaron has been an amazing sitter for my pets. I have an older lab and he has worked with him on several behavior issues and I see such a dramatic change in my dog! I highly recommend Aaron not only for pet sitting but training as well.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I’ve trained multiple puppies, cared for senior dogs, and have years of experience looking after cats. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always make sure each pet feels safe and loved. I currently work from home, so I have a flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. At the moment, I’m not able to offer boarding, as my own pets may not adjust well to new animals in the home. My approach is calm and understanding. I like to respect each pet’s unique personality and habits. I don’t believe in being overly strict, but I always make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

We feel so lucky to have found David; truly, we only wish that we had found him sooner! He is reliable, considerate, and, most importantly, our dog LOVES him. Our dog is older, with some medical issues, and can be standoffish to new people but David won him over almost immediately. We always have complete confidence and peace of mind that our dog is well cared for.

About: I truly enjoy caring for animals and treat every pet like family. I have experience looking after dogs and other pets for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playing, and providing lots of attention and affection. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, or require extra care. I’m also comfortable following specific routines and instructions to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Whether your cat needs a quick check-in, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I can adjust to their routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where your pet can feel relaxed and secure. I always follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, and any special instructions. I’m attentive to behavior and make sure your cat feels comfortable, whether they prefer playtime or quiet space. In your home, I respect your space and ensure everything is left just as you expect.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and grew up with three cats, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. During college, I was hired by local families to pet sit while they traveled, often caring for their pets for extended periods. Today, I continue to pet sit for friends and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m comfortable caring for cats, dogs, and other animals, and I always take the time to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know every pet is different, whether they love to play, go for walks, or just want a calm companion. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so I have plenty of flexibility for daytime drop-in visits. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’m available in the evenings. I love fitting pet care into my routine and enjoy spending time with animals throughout the week. I’ll always communicate with you and provide updates so you know your pet is in good hands. I know how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pet. I’ll always follow your care instructions carefully, make sure doors and windows are secure, refresh food and water, clean up after your pet, and give them the attention they need. Whether your pet is energetic or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll respect their routine and personality while treating your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

Kamila was truly the best cat sitter I could’ve asked for. She sent me lots of pictures and details from each visit and went the extra mile to do things to make my cat more comfortable while I was away. I had some plans change unexpectedly and Kamila was extremely accommodating and was able to adjust her schedule to help me out. She was super flexible and kind and I felt much better about leaving my cat knowing she was in such good hands! Would absolutely recommend

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Stamford on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 12,381 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Stamford. 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 Stamford 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 Stamford. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
