About: I have had dogs my whole life and i truly love to bond and be with animals. I want to be a vet when im older so i will take this job very seriously and work to the best of my ability. I have pet sit for other dogs before and loved to spend time with some new animal friends. I'm currently a student in high school so i have a lot of time to come and take care of any animals that need. I love to go on walks so if your dog wants to walk, we could walk for hours. I do not have a fenced yard but i am used to having to walk big dogs that i've sat on leashes and they have plenty or backyard space to walk around and do their business. If they need a crate that is also 100% doable.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and have extensive experience with friends, family, and my own dogs! What sets me apart is the personalized care and attention I give to every dog, treating them like part of my own family. I have experience working with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to wise seniors. I am reliable and easily adapt to your dogs needs, whether that includes extra play time or gentle care. I am extremely attentive and focus on building trust—with both pets and their humans—so you can feel completely confident and at ease while you're away. I am currently a graduate student at Sacred Heart University. I am studying to get my doctorate in physical therapy. I am unable to work a full time job due to my rigorous class schedule and am hoping to earn some extra money through pet services. I am able to dog sit during the weekends and can offer dog walking or short pet care services in between or after my classes during the week. My top priority is creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that feels familiar and comfortable for each pet. I stick closely to their usual routines—feeding schedules, walk times, and playtime to reduce stress and keep them happy while you're away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and follow all instructions to the letter—from administering medication to reinforcing routines. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I have always loved animals. I’ve taken care of family and friends’ dogs since I was 16. I treat everyone’s pet as if they were my own! I am currently a graduate student taking classes online, asynchronously. My schedule gives me open availability to take care of your fur baby when needed! I live in a very friendly, safe, low traffic neighborhood. There is an abundance of local dog parks nearby as well. When going outside, I keep them leashed and make sure I can always see them.

About: Hi! I'm Rachel and I'd love to care for your pet! Willing to accept outside of my service range (rate changes may apply). 10% off if you live in the Huntington or White Hills area of Shelton. I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember - basically, if it has fur, fins, wings, or whiskers, I'm a fan. I've proudly been a cat mom since 2010 and my 3 current babies are my whole world (and let's be real, my personality too). Since 2023, I've been volunteering with cats and small animals at a local shelter (affectionately known there as "Cat Rachel"), working with cats of all different temperaments -from shy wallflowers, snuggly lovebugs, fur divas, and the “don’t-look-at-me” types. I've also been pet-sitting on and off since 2010 including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, bunnies, and tropical fish. If your trust your pet with me, I will: - treat them like they're part of my own fur-family - be patient while they warm up to me (I let them set the vibe) - follow your instructions and respect your home - give them dedicated quality time in the way they enjoy (whether that be play-time, cuddling, walks, quiet companionship, etc. - send regular updates and photos Basically, if your pet needs love, snacks, or someone to treat them like the tiny celebrity they are, I’ve got it covered. For full transparency I am a full-time working professional. I work in the Ridgefield area 4 days a week with Fridays as my work-from-home day. I'm really mindful about my schedule and only take on visits I can give my full attention to. While cats are definitely my specialty these days, I’m always happy to consider other animals too! Mondays through Thursdays: AM & PM visits before and after work, sometimes can do a lunchtime visit if in Ridgefield. Fridays: AM & PM visit, sometimes can do a lunchtime visit if in Shelton, overnight stays. Saturdays and Sundays: Flexible, 3 visits a day, and overnight stays. Safety is my #1 priority - ensuring your pets feel secure and comfortable. My goal is to provide a stress-free, trustworthy experience which is why I only accept bookings I can confidently handle based on each pet's needs and my experience. During my visits: - I respect your space and follow all care instructions and house rules. - I ensure doors, windows, and gates are secure. Doors are opened with extreme caution. - I ensure they have access to everything they need and their water dishes are full. - For cats, even if they sometimes goes outside, they must be and remain inside for the entirety of my visit. I will ensure their litter boxes are cleaned. - For dogs, there will be double checks of leashes, collars, and/or harnesses.

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is the personalized care and attention I give to every dog. I treat each pet like a member of my own family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I provide plenty of playtime, exercise, updates, and affection, while also following each dog’s unique routine and needs. With my experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, pet owners can feel confident knowing their furry friend is in a caring and reliable environment. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule. As a teacher, I have a structured routine and plenty of experience providing care, supervision, and attention throughout the day. During the summer, I am home full-time, which allows me to dedicate even more time to the pets in my care. This means frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of companionship throughout the day. Because I am home, pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy a safe, comfortable, and attentive environment while their owners are away. I have a fenced yard with a nice size backyard where the dogs can run around and enjoy the weather. And they will be supervised

About: About Me Hi! My name is Martin. I recently graduated from Fairfield Prep and will be attending Penn State University this fall. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and currently have a Black Labrador of my own, which has given me years of hands-on experience caring for, exercising, feeding, and understanding dogs of all personalities and energy levels. Friends, family members, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs while they travel, work, or need an extra hand. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, playtime, feeding, or simply making sure a dog feels comfortable and safe, I take that responsibility seriously. As a very active person, I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors and making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and companionship they need. My goal is not just to watch your dog, but to make them feel happy, comfortable, and at home while you’re away. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust. That’s why I prioritize communication, reliability, and providing regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident your dog is being well cared for. Every dog is treated like family, and I will care for your pet with the same attention and respect that I give my own. I work weekdays from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, which allows me to dedicate the rest of my day to pet care, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. On weekends, I have full availability and can provide flexible care throughout the day. I am also available for overnight stays and house sitting, and I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routines so they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I respond quickly, communicate clearly, and provide regular photo and video updates for peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing proper exercise, and creating a calm, positive environment. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, and owner preferences. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, I treat every animal as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, supervision, affection, and exercise. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication throughout every stay so you always know your pet is happy and doing well.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, I helped care for my family’s Shih Tzu, Kelly, who lived a long life and gave me experience caring for an older dog and understanding the extra patience and attention senior pets need. More recently, I had my Frenchie, Tyson, who recently passed away. We spent so much time together going on daily 3-mile walks, cuddling, playing, and simply enjoying each other’s company. Caring for him taught me how important consistency, love, patience, and attentiveness are when it comes to pets. What sets me apart is the genuine care and connection I build with animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them with the same love, comfort, and attention I gave my own dogs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just calm companionship, I’m happy to adapt to their personality and routine. I’ve always had a dog in my life, and I truly enjoy the companionship, activity, and happiness they bring every day. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time with dogs. I’m available every morning for walks and again after 5:30 PM for afternoon/evening walks. I love starting the day with long walks and giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I’m also available for boarding on Fridays through Sundays. On weekends, I enjoy spending extra time with pups, whether that’s relaxing together, grabbing a pup cup, or visiting the dog park if that’s something your dog enjoys! I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. In my home, pets will have lots of attention, supervised outdoor time, and space to relax. We have a small fenced-in yard, and I love spending time outside with dogs for fresh air, playtime, and walks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m happy to follow their normal routine and any instructions they provide to help their pet feel comfortable and secure. If crating is part of their routine, I’m comfortable using a crate both in my home or the client’s home when needed. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I always try to make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while in my care

About: Socialized dogs will absolutely have a great time staying with me as we spend time at the dog park and make new friends! High energy pups are my favorite as I'm a long distance runner and can handle extended walks/runs with your buddy. I've had 3 years experience at dog kennels and was responsible for monitoring group play of up to 20 dogs in one yard. Puppy group play was my favorite and most intensive role as I was trained to recognize dog body language and maintain safety when pups were getting too ruff. During my time in kennels, I also was able to provide scheduled feedings and administer oral medications daily. My family owns an elderly dog with arthritis, and during cold months I am willing to carry dogs up/down stairs to avoid slips on snow/ice. During a long-term stay I will gladly spend time with your pooch for walks, play time and socializing, naps, massages, and feedings. Observing dog behavior during each of these parts of our day is important to me. This allows me have a detailed report of your pet's stay when you return. Keeping track of any behavioral, digestive, or sleep-related issues is always made a top priority for my guests. I typically begin my day with walking any dogs that are staying overnight with me, could be at the dog park, then feeding them, and then heading out for 1-2 hours to walk my regular clients on weekdays. With winter approaching, we may need to minimize time spent on walks during heavy snow/rain. However, larger breeds who can handle snow days are encouraged to stay with me for extended outdoor play. It's very important to me to establish trust with new dogs at their own pace. This is easily done by giving the typical commands and rewarding with treats, as well as affirming trust on leashed walks. In my apartment building there are other dogs who live on my floor, and I'm very vigilant about who is in the hallway or stairwells when I am taking a dog outside. Within my apartment unit, your pet can freely relax on the couch or large rugs I have. Smaller breeds are also welcome to relax on my bed along with me when its time to sleep. I do my best to keep dogs calm and like to be hands on with lots of belly rubs and ear scratching as most dogs seem to really enjoy that. Its also important to me to clean my apartment before and after I have pets staying overnight.

About: Full time dog walker for the last four years off Rover. My summer schedule thins out a bit as college kids get home and teachers have summer break, so looking to pick up a few services. I am a lifelong Fairfield resident, former 15 year FPS teacher, and a dad to two boys. I am a full time, professional dog walker. I own my own sitting/walking business and use Rover to fill in the gaps. I’m primarily available weekdays between 9:15 am and 3:00 pm, some evenings after 5:00 pm, and varying weekend hours (just ask!). Please see my calendar for house sitting availability. At the moment I’m using Rover only for drop-in visits and house sitting opportunities. For drop-in’s, your pet will have fresh water, treats (if desired by you), and 20 to 30 minutes of play outside. For house sitting, I will be at your house between the hours of 9 pm and 7 am, with two to three drop-ins/feedings throughout the day.

About: I have always had at least two dogs in my life since the day I was born until attending college and currently have two living at home in Florida with my mom. I’ve been dog- and cat-sitting and walking on and off for years, both in NYC and around the world. I also have extensive experience with senior dogs and puppies, having owned and cared for both. I’m that person who stops to smile at and pet every dog I pass by. I just moved to Connecticut and want to continue to spend time with animals. I will treat your pets like my own! :) I work part-time, remotely, and on my own schedule, so I have lots of flexibility and time to care for and play with your furry friends! I have cared for pets of all ages and sizes throughout my life, from dogs, cats, horses, and more, and I love being around animals! I am comfortable with high strung puppies, low key older animals, administering medications, going on walks and to play times, and everything in between. I just adore time spent with animals. If you have any specific concerns please don’t hesitate to ask me.

We are so happy to have found Charlie! Our chocolate lab is full of energy and tends to pull on walks. After meeting Charlie and learning about her experience working with larger dogs, we felt very comfortable leaving him in her hands. She kept us updated and even sent over photos of the visit. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Trumbull

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Trumbull on Rover is $20.33 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 3,656 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Trumbull. 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 Trumbull 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.

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 Trumbull 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!

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 dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Trumbull with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

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.
