Stephanie did a great job taking care of my 2 pups! She fed them, let them out, and gauve them meds. She kept in touch and made our day away even more enjoyable, knowing our furry family members were well taken care of. Will definitely use Stephanie again!

We had such a great experience with Mckenzie! From the very beginning, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our puppy was in good hands. We also loved the photo updates. We came home to a relaxed, happy puppy, and that says everything. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

About: My name is Katie and I have dogs of my own. With that being said, I understand that each pet truly needs unique and individual care. I am a teacher and have been for the past 13 years. I take care of pets in my spare time in order to earn some extra money. I can provide references upon request from families who had me take care of their dogs and cats in the past. Thank you for considering me as a potential care giver for your pet! I am a teacher so during the school year I am available late afternoons during the week and am also available on the weekend. I am more available during the summer. I care for pets of my clients the same way that I care for my own. The pets’ safety and well-being are my top priority.

About: Hi there! My name is Ellie, and I’m a passionate animal lover with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have pups of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your furry family member — and I treat every pet I meet with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. Whether your dog needs a fun walk to burn off energy, a drop-in to check on meals and snuggles, or full-on overnight care, I’ve got you covered. I’m reliable, patient, and fully committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and give them the care they deserve! I currently work full-time during the day, but pet care is truly a passion of mine and a fulfilling part of my daily routine. I’m available for check-ins and walks in the early mornings before work and in the evenings after I get home. In some cases, I’m also able to swing by during my lunch break for a quick visit, depending on location and timing. I also offer overnight stays, which allows me to spend quality, uninterrupted time with your pet — perfect for dogs who need extra comfort or company while you’re away. While my weekday daytime availability is limited, I’m dependable, communicative, and always make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve when I’m with them! When your pet is in my care, their well-being is my top priority. I understand that every animal has their own unique needs, routines, and personalities — and I take the time to get to know them so I can provide care that makes them feel safe, seen, and loved. You can trust that I’ll treat your pet like one of my own, with patience, affection, and respect. I’m mindful, responsible, and always keep safety at the forefront — whether that’s making sure harnesses are secure, sticking to feeding instructions, or giving them their favorite toy at just the right moment. I believe animals know when someone truly cares for them — and I make it my mission to create a peaceful, loving environment where your pet can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

Melony was perhaps the best sitter I have hired. She was super responsive anytime I contacted her. She went above and beyond in her duties, even taking out the trash and ensuring everything was tidy before we returned. She was patient and kind to our less than friendly cat and never lost hope that they will eventually become friends, while also respecting her boundaries. I will absolutely be a return customer.

About: From our family pets to neighbor pet sitting. I walk, play, bathe, and relax with pets at their homes or at the parks. I want them to enjoy the day and be able to explore around town on their walks. I’m currently working full time hybrid office opportunity. I am able to work from home and can spend time with the pets while working. I do have tax seasons where I am in office but can walk dogs during lunch time or on the weekends I am working from home and work is flexible with this. I follow any instructions given to me by the client on how to make their pet comfortable at their own home and be able to enjoy their time at home

About: I've taken care of dogs my entire life. I started off with a resuce pitty/lab when I was one and we grew up together. Since then, I've never not had a 4 legged freind in my life. I have experience with cats, dogs, reptiles, and fish; all with different personalitys. I am very well versed in senoir pets and energetic puppys! I am very understanding of the diffent needs and bounderies required by different pets! I am currently working receiving treatment Mon-Thurs form 9-12 and go to class Tues and Thurs from 6-9:30, beyond that I am typically completely free and am available in between those times. My dog is't very freindly with other animals, so I wouldn't be able to take any pets into my own home, but I can certantly follow all instructions given in your home. I have experience crating dogs and maintaining a schedule.

Kailah has been great with my dogs! I have 2 rescues who are super nervous around new people. This was our 3rd time booking with Kailah, she has been super patient and they are starting to warm up to her. I would recommend Kailah and will definitely be using her services again.

Steph was soo amazing and such a sweetheart with my dogs. My Bella is weary of people but warmed up to Steph extremely fast. Her updates and photos of our dogs during her visits made it all the more heartwarming and comforting knowing they’re in good hands. Definitely highly recommend and will be coming back when needed. Thank you again for being so wonderful! 🤍💕

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Waterbury

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Waterbury on Rover is $16.65 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 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 September 2026, there are 2,777 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Waterbury. 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 Waterbury 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 Waterbury 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 Waterbury 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 Waterbury. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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.
