“Alex really went above and beyond in every respect. This was the longest time away from our dogs and we were halfway around the world. It’s clear Alex really cares about animals and went out of his way to keep them entertained, loved, and exercised. He gave us frequent updates with pictures and videos giving us great peace of mind. While we were away he had to contend with the unprecedented East Coast blizzard and cold ensuring that the house was protected and the dogs were safely handed off to a sitter that took over once the storm passed. He even stayed an unplanned extra night until the roads were passable. Will use him again without hesitation and really appreciate how much he cares.”
“Hannah was super sweet and took great care of our pup! Communication was excellent throughout, and we felt very comfortable leaving him with her. We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Samantha is amazing! She's very responsive, attentive, and took great care of our puppy, Gracie. She asks questions and makes sure she understands how best to take care your pet. We knew we were leaving Gracie in very capable hands. It was also clear how much Gracie loved her time with Sam!”
“Once again our pup was well cared for during our vacation. We received regular updates and pictures of her relaxing or playing. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Betsey was the perfect sitter to our pup, Frankie. She came over for a meet and greet ahead of our planned booking, and then handled the overnight stays with ease. She’s a great communicator, shared lots of pictures. She made us feel so comfortable that Frankie was in her care. Will definitely book her again!”
“Dahn stayed at our house with our pups while we were out of town for 2 nights. We felt very comfortable with Dahn here and everything was exactly how we left it. More importantly she took great care of our dogs and sent constant updates and pictures. Our Marley gets scared when it’s storms and there was a storm while we were gone. Dahn gave her extra love and made sure she felt safe! We will definitely use Dahn again and would highly recommend her”
“Alondra did such a good job taking care of my baby Nuve. I truly appreciate her flexibility in working with my schedule and keeping me updated all day throughout with pictures and messages. Being in a new town for vacation it was important for me to be updated and she gave me peace of mind. Definitely recommend Alondra. 👌”

As a student and a dog owner, I understand the importance of having a trusted caretaker to help ease your mind when you have to be away from home. Safety and personalized care are my top priorities. I have direct experience caring for a dog with IMHA (Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia), so I am very comfortable and experienced with strict medication schedules, monitoring subtle health or behavior changes, and following precise care instructions. I create a safe, low-stress environment with appropriate enrichment suited to your dog's specific energy levels and medical needs.

“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.”
About: Between 10 years of fostering dogs and assisting with Rover boarding, I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. This background taught me how to read body language, introduce pets safely, and help new or nervous dogs settle comfortably into a routine. My hands-on experience covers everything from puppyhood to the golden years. Having raised and trained my own dog from a puppy, I am very comfortable with early training foundations, structure, and positive reinforcement. I also have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, administering medications, and managing attentive post-surgery recovery care with a gentle, patient approach. I treat every dog with the same dedication, comfort, and safety-first mindset I give my own. You can always count on prompt communication alongside frequent photo and video updates throughout the day, so you have complete peace of mind while you’re away. Because I work part-time at Fairfield University, I have a ton of flexibility throughout the week. My Fridays through Mondays are completely open for house sitting and extended visits, while my mid-week schedule is easily adaptable for walks and drop-in check-ins. Pet care is a genuine priority in my day rather than something squeezed in. When I am caring for your dog, their daily rhythm for walks, meal times, play sessions, and plenty of cuddle breaks comes first. Your pup will get consistent company, regular potty breaks, and lots of dedicated attention. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is keeping their normal routine as seamless and stress-free as possible. Staying in their familiar environment keeps anxiety low, so I strictly follow your specific feeding times, walking routes, and house rules. Safety and trust always come first. On walks, I keep dogs securely leashed and stay alert to our surroundings. In your home, I make sure doors and gates are properly secured, keep anything dangerous out of reach, and treat your living space with complete respect. You can always count on regular photo and video updates so you know both your pets and your home are in dependable hands.
“Alex was great! She stayed at my house and took wonderful care of Bentley. He was a happy guy when I got home and it was clear he really loved her. I’d absolutely book with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of elderly dogs that required medication multiple times a day, reactive dogs, and very large dogs. I don’t mind working with challenging dogs. I’m currently in school to be a vet tech so I will be unavailable wednesdays. Other than that I have an open schedule. Prefer 1 week notice. I can do whatever the client needs including walking, feeding, administering meds (including topicals and injectibles) and I have absolutely no problem playing with your pup all day.
About: I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including senior pets and those who require medication or special routines. I’m also comfortable with crate training, leash training, and socializing dogs in a calm, safe way. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which gives me the ability to offer care throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and some holidays. Whether your dog needs a slow, relaxing walk or an energetic play session, I adjust my care style to meet their needs. I’m happy to stick to your pet’s feeding, potty, and medication schedule exactly as you outline it. In my home, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your furry friend can feel safe and comfortable. I keep my space tidy, supervise pets at all times, and make sure they have access to fresh water, cozy resting spots, and lots of affection. I maintain their regular routines as closely as possible—whether that’s mealtime, walks, potty breaks, or downtime—so they feel secure and at ease even while away from home. In a client’s home, I treat the space with complete respect and care, as if it were my own. I follow all instructions closely and stick to your pet’s usual routine so they experience minimal disruption. Whether it’s administering medication, preparing special meals, or managing multiple pets, I make sure everything is done exactly how you prefer. I always provide updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, their safety, comfort, and happiness come first.

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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
