“Alex was incredible. She just gets it!Great with four dogs who never missed a beat with Alex. Alex stayed three nights and left the house impeccable. She graciously agreed to vacuum and pick up poop in the back yard. We came home to a house that looked as good as when we left. Thank you, Alex!”

“Katie was a wonderful house/dog sitter for our two dogs. They were well cared for and loved while we were away. That was very evident when we came home to two happy and relaxed dogs. It was very clear that Katie spent a great deal of time with them. Such a plus! We really appreciated the updates/photos, and she was so kind to answer all my questions. This was the first time we used Rover. We were very apprehensive and had some trepidation prior to leaving. However, Katie far exceeded my expectations. We’s absolutely have Katie (if she would agree) watch our dogs again. Thank you, Katie! 🐶”


“Our pup was in great spirits when we arrived home - Alex did a fantastic job caring for our older pup in our home and we have already reached out to Alex with additional pet sitting requests.”

About: I have provided pet sitting services to friends and family and now i'm offering my services on rover. As a pet sitter I will do the best I can to make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and always tail waging. I currently have everyday available to spend time with your fur babies. I have two kids that I drop off and pick off from school Mon-Fri. I have a 5 year old tabby cat who likes to spend time in her room when doggies are around so it's an easy fix if your cat isn't cat friendly. I also have a fenced yard for your dogs to play in. My two kids love all animals, and are eager to help out if possible.
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.
“Taylor was fantastic! She was reliable, dependable and very wonderful with our dog. Our dog Marci felt comfortable with her right away. Taylor was respectful of us, our dog and our home. Will 100% use her again!”


About: I have taken care of many dogs since I was 14. I can take care of a high energy puppy who needs to get all of their energy out. I love spending time with older, calmer dogs as well who need just as much love. I am very on top of it when taking care of your pets and will make sure they get the best care possible. I also have experience with cats and can make sure they are as comfortable as possible. I am also very flexible in the type of care and the times you need! i’m not really busy during the summer so I have plenty of time to watch your pets. I do have a part-time restaurant job, but I only work once to twice a week. I have a big yard for your dog to roam around. I would need you to provide a crate or a leash for your pets.

“Josh was a fantastic sitter, and we had a great experience with him. He house sat for us and took excellent care of our cat. What really stood out was how quickly he bonded with our cat who is typically very shy to meet new people. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly very comfortable around animals. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and a house that was just as we left it. Overall, Josh did a wonderful job, and we would definitely hire him again in the future!”

About: Im comfortable working with friendly dogs of different ages, including puppies who need extra attention and older dogs who may need a slower, more gentle approach. Plus, my dog is very friendly and enjoys the company, which can help other dogs feel more comfortable and social. I’m currently in school for ultrasound, so with my full-time schedule, I’ve been looking for a flexible way to earn some extra income. I really enjoy walking my dog, and I’m interested in turning that into a small business to help others who need dog walking services while also building connections with other dogs. My dog is very friendly and would definitely enjoy the extra company. I care for pets in both my home and my client’s home, depending on the service. I make sure they have a safe, clean space, follow their feeding and walking routines, and give them plenty of attention. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep their pet comfortable and cared for.

“Hannah was amazing! She responded any time I contacted her, was punctual when meeting the dogs for the meet and greet, and during her stay she sent photos and kept me apprised of how the dogs were doing. I have a very elderly high-maintenance dog, and she handled him with grace and compassion. She truly went above and beyond to make them comfortable and less anxious. She is welcome in my home anytime!”

“Gloria took perfect care of my pups Drake and Nylah. Nylah is 10 months old and still adjusting to the house but Gloria was sweet and made sure she was comfortable and of course Drake adored her! Can’t wait to book her again!”


About: In addition to caring for rescued animals, I have experience working in a daycare setting, where I developed strong skills in supervision, patience, responsibility, and maintaining a safe environment. This experience has strengthened my ability to recognize individual needs, follow routines, and provide attentive care, skills that I also bring to working with pets. I am looking to have a laidback summer since I have just recently graduated high school but I am always available! Mornings, afternoons, and nights! I’m open to any requests and don’t mind clingy fur babies. I like to keep things tidy and clean indoors but don’t mind getting messy outdoors.
“Destiny was a great sitter for my aging pup. She kept me well informed as to what they were doing, her walks, play and rest. She followed my instructions, sent photos and responded to any questions I had while away. My house was clean and well cared for, too. My dog, who usually gets very sad when I'm away, was happy and her regular self when I returned. I would definitely recommend!”

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: Having grown up with a dog and a cat and a hamster, my love of furry friends started young! I sat for neighbors for years and then began sitting for families whose kids I taught swim lessons at the town pool. I went to college pre-vet and worked at a vet’s office for several years before getting into restaurant work. Now I’m looking to get back to my animal-loving roots and can’t wait to make your best friend’s day! Cats, dogs, horses, ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits and many others are all creatures I’ve comfortably cared for short or long term. I can check on, feed, play with or administer medications (including injections) to all your pets. As an avid reader, I’m also happy to just sit home with your shy friends so they aren’t alone in the house, even if they’d rather not come out to play! I’m currently looking to make this my full time job so I’m completely available to you! My routine will depends mostly on your needs, but I’m completely flexible on timing. I can drop in or hang out or stay over, all depends what you need for your friend! Since leaving my restaurant work behind, I don’t have any daily commitments at the moment but I’m very used to flexible hours and happy to work with you to find the best routine!

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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Trumbull
We recently had Charlie stay with our dog, Autumn, while we were on vacation, and she was fantastic. Autumn is high energy, and Charlie kept her active all day with walks and play. A neighbor even ran into them on a walk (their dog is one of Autumn’s friends) and told us afterward how nice Charlie was. Charlie also sent frequent photo updates and communicated with us consistently, which gave us real peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely use Charlie again.

Madalys is amazing, so appreciative of her. She stayed in our home while I was overseas, and I felt so comfortable with her in our home and she was wonderful with our fur babies. She was always on time and communicated well, sent us pictures while we were gone as well. Highly recommend and will definitely will use her again.

Cailyn came to our home and watched our puppy for a day. She was wonderful to work with, my wife and I really appreciated how she came once earlier in the week to do a meet and greet. Cailyn sent us plenty of photos through out the day and followed the schedule and details we provided her. This was our first time using Rover and leaving our pup with somebody else for an entire day, so it means a lot that the experience went so well. We look forward to working with Cailyn again in the future!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Trumbull
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Trumbull on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,371 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Trumbull. 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 Trumbull 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 Trumbull 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 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!
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.
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 .
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 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.
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
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
