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 wonderful with our cat, Leo! She visited twice a day to take care of his feeding and cleanup, and she did an amazing job. She was incredibly reliable, punctual, and kept us completely at ease while we were away. It’s always tough leaving your pet behind, but knowing Cassidy was checking in made all the difference. Leo was happy, well-fed, and perfectly cared for. We will absolutely be hiring Cassidy again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for years and have experience with both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and giving them lots of love and attention. I’ve also helped care for my family dog for 6 years and have experience caring for cats. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾💗 I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for pet care in the evenings after work and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide your pets with plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and will follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. 🐾
“Stephanie did a remarkable job taking care of our shy kitty (that we rarely leave alone) and giving us complete peace of mind for our week away. I was concerned she wouldn’t see much of him, but he emerged quite often for pats, treats and interaction. We are so relieved and appreciative!”
“Ashley and Mauricio did a great job caring for Turmeric/Ric the cat. They sent lots of pictures playing with him and petting him each night we were away. I know he was very well cared for and it set my mind at ease! Will definitely book them again!!! Highly recommend!”
“Maria was extremely attentive and caring to my two cats. They both really enjoyed her company and play time. Also my one very shy cat opened up to her very quickly. Overall, Maria was a great cat sitter and a very pleasant person.”
“Annabel is an excellent sitter; she hit it off with our cats right away, and took great care of them while we were away for 3 nights. We would have her take care of our cats again!”
“I am very grateful Emma was available last minute to drop in and take care of Honey. She responded immediately and followed through. She is very reliable and professional.”
“Great photos! I could tell my cat felt comfortable around him. My cat’s water fountain broke while I was gone so he put a bowl of water out for him instead. Thanks Ryan!”
“i never met elvia, only spoke on the phone, making arrangements for my dog. Having never met her, leaving my house keys was honestly a bit uncomfortable for me. however, given her excellent reviews, i decided to just trust and go for it. elvia came exactly on time, fed and played with my dog for a half hour and then left. everything went just as planned. her communication was great, which was essential, and put me at ease. i had a postive experience.”
“Nina is wonderful. She made me feel so safe leaving my 7 month old puppy. I was able to enjoy my vacation and my dog loved her. She has great character and is an educated woman. I was blessed to find her . I wish she lived closer to me.”

Stefanie was absolutely wonderful taking care of my cats! She was very patient, caring, and attentive with them. Every day she kept me updated on how they were doing and sent me pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My cats felt very comfortable and relaxed around her, and that means a lot to me because I really care about who I trust with them. I could tell that she treated them with genuine love and care. I’m very grateful to Stefanie and would definitely trust her to take care of my cats again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone responsible, patient, and loving with their pets! ❤️🐾
Maria Helena was amazing! Our cats warmed up quickly to her and she sent us so many amazing photos of our cats while we were away. I’m an anxious parent when away from my cats but this was the least anxious I’ve felt in a while. Really happy to have found such a great person to watch our girls
Nina is absolutely fantastic! Her communication was excellent, and she provided detailed daily updates with pictures. My cat needs special care, and Nina was extremely responsible and paid close attention to detail of the care routine. She went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again!
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
Daniela took good care of the cats. Setting up are communications are smooth and easy. Ad hoc requests on unexpected incidents were well taken care of. The house is clean after the sessions. Overall it was a great experience. Will request their help again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Stamford on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 12,368 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
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
