“Repeat client here- Hannah has adapted very well to the fluctuating needs of our cats over the many months of visits, including being willing to (and successfully!) administering daily medications to our somewhat difficult cat. Always appreciate the enthusiasm to care for our kitties!!”
“Taylor was an excellent house sitter and care giver for our dog! From our first engagement through messages, she communicated promptly and clearly. For our meet and greet, Taylor asked great questions that showed she was knowledgeable with dogs and well experienced. During her stay, she communicated updates and photos regularly. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing everything was well cared for. It was clear she was a good fit for our dog and family. We will definitely have Taylor back and would be happy to recommend her to others!”
“Once again our pup was well cared for during our vacation. We received regular updates and pictures of her relaxing or playing. Highly recommend!”
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: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years, caring for everyone from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m comfortable giving medications, cuddling with cats, walking with dogs, keeping pets company, and following routines that make them feel at home. And I keep it fun because pets are funny, and I genuinely love hanging out with them. I am here for your pets! I work remotely as a writer so can keep them company, play, exercise, couch chill, give meds, send you way too many photos!! Up early. Happy to follow your preferences in your home. Every pet is different and I will make sure they get the TLC, meals & more that they need.
“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!”
“Lindsay is amazing with my two dogs! They are deaf which is a challenge in itself and Lindsay handles them with ease! She’s very communicative and the girls seem to love her. Would recommend Lindsay for your next booking.”
“Olivia followed all of the instructions and Bella was happy and well cared for during our absence. She sent pictures and kept us well informed during the week and she went above and beyond what was expected of her.”
“Camila was great with our Rocky. She took him for walks and sent us at least 2 pictures a day. The pictures always put me at ease because he either looked happy as he was in the middle of a walk or playing or content as he snuggled near her. He clearly enjoyed having her stay with him while we were away because he was looking for her in our spare bedroom later that night!”
“Steve was great house sitting our 4 month golden retriever. Steve was able to accommodate us on short notice. As new dog owners we did not want to leave our dog home alone especially since she was experiencing some gastro issues. It was a bit worrysome leaving both our dog and home to someone we didnt know. Steve respected and took good care of our home and dog. Our dog Harley was happy when we got home giving us confidence he took good care of her. Steve sent us pictures. I recommend Steve and we will be using his service again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for many years. I have taken care of my neighbors dogs and would let them outside or take them for a walk everyday. Many family and friends rely on me to take care of their pets when needed. I am available on the weekends and after work hours Monday-Friday. I am also available throughout the summer due to my job as a teacher. I care for pets in their home by sticking to their routine to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable. I follow all specific instructions given by the pets owner for feeding, medication, walking, etc. Overall, my goal is to provide reliable, attentive care so pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Ian was the absolute best! He stayed at our house with our 2 dogs for 5 days. I received regular updates and pictures of them- which was so appreciated and needed being so far away from them. I’d have Ian back in a heartbeat!”
“I recently went away for 4 days and Laura watched my cat Felipe for me. As a first time cat owner and adopting Felipe almost 3 months ago, I was very nervous about leaving Felipe alone especially over night. Laura kept me updated the whole time, sent me pictures at every drop in to ease my worries and even did some extra drop ins to give him a little company. This was my first time using Laura as my cat sitter and she was absolutely amazing with Felipe. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby”
About: I have lived with two lovely dogs my whole life with my family, and am now living with two cats in my adulthood. Even before then, I used to volunteer at animal shelters to feed, clean, and care for both cats and dogs: young, old, with or without dietary restrictions :) I’ve never known life without pets! Every pet I've had in my life has been my best friend, and rest assured your baby will be treated as such! I live with pets 24/7, so caring for them is like second nature. I also work from home most days of the week, so a lot of attention can be put towards your babies! My pets get enrichment time as well as a clean, calm environment 24/7 :) I do not use any physical conditioning on my pets at all (no spray bottles, and 10000% no violence policy!)
“Lilli was a great help with Abby. She was very through with her questions regarding Abby’s care. Very dependable as she arrived when she said she would, kept in contacts with us until just before we arrived home. We arrived home to a clean house and a happy dog.”
“Booked Alondra for the second and third time to take care of Nuve and as always she did a phenomenonal job. Thanks so much Alondra!! I feel safe leaving my babygirl in your hands. She loved her walks and I appreciated the updates throughout the day.”
About: I travel to different homes to take care of dogs. I have fed them. gave them walks, and ultimately give them the love that they deserved. I have taken care of small dogs. Medium dogs. Dogs who were sick. I am a teacher, so I use the weekends and holidays to give people the help they need. Usually, I go over to the owner's home and care for them. Sometimes the owner drops the dog off to me, and I will take it from there. Whatever their preferences, I will work with them. I have the puppy pads set up, refill their food bowls and their water bowls. Pet them. Walk them. Play with them. Give them the love and affections that they deserve.
“Maxwell could not be left in better care! Thank you Angelica & Kris for taking such good care of him! He was not stressed out when we came home just super happy to see us! You both are wonderful to take such good care of Max and our home - which was spotless! We appreciate you and super glad we hit a “match” on River for Max! We are glad you make yourselves at home and feel comfortable staying here. Thanks again for cleaning up after the raccoon or was it a bear? Accept our “Trash Tip” 😉 as our thank you for the extra trouble!”
About: I’ve taken care and grown up with different kinds of dogs all my life. I can handle multiple dogs. Fun fact: My family has five dogs and six cats! I currently have a pretty flexible schedule and can usually accommodate a variety of times throughout the week. Although I work part time, I make pet care a priority and always make sure pets get the attention, care, and consistency they need while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for them. I also have access to a fenced yard if needed, and I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, supervision, exercise, and care while they’re with me.

Emily was amazing! I’m so glad she was able to watch my boys. She was amazing with updates and keeping me up to date with my dogs medications and his condition. I came home to a spotless house and two very happy boys! I would definitely recommend her and plan to reach out again with future dates. Thanks for everything Emily!
Leonne was absolutely amazing with our dog, Meelo, for an overnight sit. She was extremely professional, communicative and clearly has a deep love for animals. My dog is large and high energy and she seemed confortable and confident. I came back to a very happy pup and a home exactly as I left it. I would not hesitate to reach out to Leonne again for a future sit!
Miranda did an excellent job taking care of our pups and keeping an eye on our house. She was professional and maintained great communications. We really enjoyed getting the pictures while we were gone. The dogs all seemed to like her, including our one who normally takes awhile to trust people.

The average cost of House Sitting in Trumbull is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $110 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.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
