“Oscar was very professional and quick to respond. Our two boys felt very comfortable with him. If we ever need someone to help out with them again we will definitely choose Oscar. We told all of our friends and family in the area that they should reach out to him if they ever need assistance with their dogs.”

“A fantastic relationship through and through. Kim is extremely responsive to communications. Her interaction with my little dog Fred - who is very shy and tentative with new people - was great. She reassured me during my trip that Fred was doing well and interacted with Kim very well. I am grateful for the sitting / home visits Kim provided. I would not hesitate to use Kim in the future.”

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.

I never leave pets unattended and I follow any feeding or medical instructions provided by the owners. I also love sending frequent photo updates so you can see your pet is happy and safe with me!

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.

I am mostly available Sunday, Monday, Friday, and Saturday. I always ensure safety for your pet. Following your instructions and wishes are important for the job.

About: Hi! I’m Vanessa, a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to two pups of my own, Leo and Daisy. I know firsthand that pets aren’t “just pets”—they’re family, and I’ll care for yours with the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want someone to give my own. I have extensive firsthand experience caring for medically complex animals and understand the extra trust that comes with leaving a pet with special health needs in someone else’s care. I’m comfortable closely following established care instructions and paying attention to changes in behavior, energy, appetite, mobility, or condition. My background as an EMT and emergency medical provider has also given me years of experience staying calm under pressure, recognizing when something isn’t right, communicating clearly, and responding quickly in emergencies. Whether your pup needs a long walk, plenty of playtime, a slower senior stroll, or just some extra love and company, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs and personality. Safety, communication, and trust are incredibly important to me. I’ll treat your pet, your home, and your instructions with respect—and you can always expect plenty of pictures! 🐾 P.S. I have a personal connect for Aussie wiggle butts and busy brains! I’m currently a full-time stay at home mom. My availability is Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 9am- 5pm. Weekends are for emergency fill ins or once in a while needs. I have 2 loving and socialized miniature Australian Shepherd. I have a fenced in backyard. Will utilize crates for safety and independence. If boarded overnight, animals will stay in their own room with a video/audio monitor.

About: I began pet sitting for neighbors in Boston and continued building my network after moving back to Connecticut. I now care for dogs throughout the year for friends and their families, usually four to five weeks annually. I work fully remote, so pets get steady company and attention throughout the day. I enjoy having animals around and treat them like part of the routine, not an interruption. I have an indoor cat who is fully vaccinated, so dogs are still welcome. If your pet needs a calm home, a reliable schedule, and someone who is present, I am a strong fit. I work fully remote, so pets are with me throughout the day. I start early, which leaves time for morning routines before work, and I take regular breaks for walks and check ins. Evenings are for longer walks, feeding, and downtime. If a pet has specific needs, I adjust my routine to match them. Pets stay in a calm, tidy home where I am present throughout the day. I work fully remote, so dogs get steady company, regular walk breaks, playtime, and a consistent routine. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, medication needs, and any rules you share. My indoor cat is fully vaccinated and comfortable with visiting dogs. I introduce pets slowly and make sure everyone has their own space. If your dog has specific routines or preferences, I adjust to match them.

About: I have over 40 years experience caring for dogs and animals. My experience includes employment with a veterinarian, employment at a kennel, and a lifetime of dog ownership. We custom built our home to be a perfect paradise for a dog's life. We have a beautiful fenced in private backyard that offers a grass area, deck area, and a woods area for those adventuresome puppies! We have a dog door for those dog guests that want frequent outings or door service by us for those less ambitious doggies. A typical day at doggy paradise includes numerous supervised romps in the fenced in backyard, walks in the neighborhood, lots of love, and plenty of water and meals as per owners instructions. As a little background we just lost our last two dogs within the past two years, one to old age, and one young to cancer. We still want dogs in our life so we are now boarding. Note: An additional daily surcharge will be collected for dogs over 55lbs, details will be addressed at booking depending on dogs weight and age. Thank you Full time care. We will take great care of your pet in our home and fenced in backyard. Typically there is an adult present for full 24 hr care. I have a fenced in yard where dogs are let out. I follow your specific dogs instructions and routine, depending on what they are used to.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Westport

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Westport is $25 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $32 per visit. 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.

As of October 2026, there are 4,815 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Westport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.

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.
