“Harry is absolutely amazing with my dogs and I cannot book him enough. My pets are happy and calm and I am super calm being able to leave him with my fur family and my home. He is overly communicative and flexible.”
“This was our first time booking with Laila and we are so glad we did. She is truly an animal lover and we cannot thank her enough for taking such a good care of our two pups while we where out of town. One of them is a very sensitive dog, and Laila made sure to keep her busy, so she wouldn't miss us. Her daily updates were on point, as if she already knew them from before. Again, Thank you for giving us a peace of mind while away! we will for sure be using her services again.”
“Nicky was an absolute pleasure to work with, she was very responsive. Came to meet my girls before sitting for them. They were very happy and comfortable, which is a must for me. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation because I knew they were in good hands. There were even a few situations that came up, not due to her, but she handled it perfect even though she could not get a hold of me ( I was on a cruise ). Not only did she take good care of my dogs but also took good care of my house. She cleaned and did laundry/dishes. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much Nicky !”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 8 years old. Friends, coworkers and neighbors have all called me to watch their pets and walk them reliably for years. I work a normal 9-5 job Monday through Friday but have all the time and attention to give your pets walks afterward and remain free on weekends! I have a spacious backyard that is fenced off for play time and potty use with two friendly pets of my own. I can crate your pet if needed.
About: I have a dog of my own who I absolutely adore, and spending time with animals has always brought me joy. I’m eager to expand my knowledge in animal care and love being around all kinds of pets—it’s truly where I feel most at home. I’m currently a college student and a baseball player at Solano community college. I’m available for dog walking in the early mornings until 11am, after 4:30pm on weekdays, and most weekends. I’m reliable, active, and love spending time with animals! I’ll make sure your pet is well-fed, has fresh water, and gets plenty of attention. Whether it’s walking, playing fetch, or just getting in their daily exercise, I’ll help keep your dog happy, healthy, and relaxed by the time they’re home.
“Karci did a great job! I loved her attention to detail in asking and carrying out what our dog's routine and needs were. This helped maintain her days with consistently. Highly recommend her service.”
About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of and being around pets my entire life! Since I was a child, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, and fishes as well as other large animals! Over the years many friends, family members and neighbors have relied on me to care for their pets. I have over 6 years of experience with all dog breeds. I currently have a two-year-old Yellow Lab who is the sweetest pup I have ever had. She is extremely friendly and loving and is great with other dogs and cats. I currently have a pretty open schedule with my online classes, so I am home most of the time, dogs have access to the backyard at almost all times and are always being watched and monitored for safety. Dogs are taken on walks to nearby parks and around the neighborhood and rides around to the dog park. dogs are fed separately and are fed on a schedule and always have access to lots of fresh water. I have a fenced yard and a pool in the back yard. I am able to crate your dog if needed or per your preference. My lab is always ready to play or nap with your pup and will always keep them company!
About: I've been the go-to sitter for my everyone in my circle of friends. I've been petsitting for 5 years. I've taken care of pets with medicinal needs such as diabetes, seizures and daily medication. I'm comfortable with most breeds; I've taken care of dogs as small as a Yorkshire Terrier to a dog as large as a Newfoundland. I work a 9-5 job, but if the home is close enough to where I work regularly, then i will stop by and check on the pets on my lunch. Outside of my work hours, I usually strive to keep their routines as close to their normal as possible. I typically send photos or updates throughout the day--either in the morning when we wake up and in the evening before bed--to provide the assurance mom and/or dad need for their babies. For cats, I typically make sure their litter boxes are cleaned out before bed, every night during my stay. To make sure the pets are comfortable with me, I usually like to request to see the pets a week before I am scheduled to watch them. For dogs: I will ask for the dog to be spayed or neutered. If the dog is reactive, I will not take them out on walks for both mine and the animal’s safety. However, like my own pet, I will designate a play time to help expend energy in the safety & familiarity of the home. For cats: it's really whatever the cat is comfortable with. I will make sure that they have a clean litter box every night. Regardless of pet, I make sure they are fed on time with fresh water available. To ensure a stress-free time while mom and/or dad are away, I am willing to adapt to cater to the pet's comfortability.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. My friends and relatives trust me with feeding and caring for their pets as I am passionate about pets especially cats and dogs. They are my best friends and we start to share a bond after spending some time playing with them. I will be home 24/7 to care for the pets. Guaranteed! I don’t won’t outside anywhere so this is my only source of income and passion and hobby First we will meet and spend some alone time with your pet so we can get to know each other better. After getting comfortable, we will meet other pets in a secure environment slowly and steady. After we are tired of playing, we will kennel feed your pet only because we don’t want your pet to eat other dogs food due to any allergies they may have to be on the safe side. Putting water down for them. Putting food bowl down for them at there specified times. Potty breaks are given every 1-2 hours. Nap times and rest times encouraged. Play time encouraged several times a day. Walking service is up to you but we do offer dog walking for little extra charge.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since a young age. Ever since my family came together with our first Chihuahua, Gito, my parents imbued me with strong morals of care and respect for animals. I take primary care of our golden, chihuahua, and shitzu. Every dog is unique, and my care style with pets is individual to every pet I meet. Dialogue with me will always begin with discussing the unique needs and personality of your pet. While at home, pet care requires feeding the dogs, taking them on walk, and care for our Chihuahua, as he is getting older and has arthritis and impacted by urinary incontinence. Everyone’s situation is different; I’m comfortable in new environments and respecting personal boundaries. I have experience working different family friends and acquaintances in their homes for extended pet sitting stays, always a pleasure. Reach out to me if you’d like to connect more about my approach.
“I couldn’t recommend Frances enough. She is a great communicator. She made sure she understood all the needs of my dog before I left for my trip. She contacted me when she had a question about my dog’s behavior. All of these things helped me to relax and enjoy my time away knowing my dog was in super capable hands!”
“Fiona was great with nightly updates and pictures of our pups. She even made sure to leave our house in excellent shape when she left. We look forward to booking with her again.”
“Alexis was absolutely amazing! She was so loving and caring for my 4 month old pup. Sent multiple updates, many videos and I could tell Sonny was taken care of. I was able to be at peace knowing he was taken care of and loved while I was gone. I highly recommend Alexis and will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“Xaniah took wonderful care of our two dogs, Ella and Mia, while we were away on vacation. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We especially appreciated all of the photo updates throughout our trip—they made it so much easier to relax knowing our girls were happy and doing well. Thank you for taking such great care of them! We wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again and highly recommend Xaniah to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“We highly recommend Elenys for housesitting with a pup. She is a great communicator and cares a lot. When our dog needed a little extra attention while we were away, she was able to give him the time and comfort he needed.”
“Ori did an excellent all around job. We went on a long trip and she did a great job on taking care of my house, but most importantly, taking care of my spoiled and timid dog. She connected very well with my doggy and sent photos of my dog while I was on the trip. My baby was happy when we returned back. She is super recommended!! 🙂”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, routines, and giving lots of attention and affection. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family and always make sure owners feel comfortable and updated while they’re away. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they need. I’m available for drop-in visits throughout the week and can work around your pet’s normal feeding, playtime, walking, and daily routine. I always follow your pet’s normal routine and respect their personality, comfort level, and boundaries. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, playtime, walks if needed, and a clean, safe environment. I’ll also keep you updated so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

Nicky was great. This was my first time using a pet sitter and she was really helpful throughout the process. She put my mind at easy and sent pictures and updates throughout our trip. I will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to someone else as well.
We are so grateful to have found Kristin to house sit/dog sit while we were on a five day trip. During our “Meet and Greet” she asked questions that showed her knowledge of dogs and her respect for their individual needs and personalities. She took such good care of our Bichon, Bodie! She read our notes carefully and followed his daily routine of walks, play, naps and medications, all while giving him plenty of affection and attention. She sent pictures and an overview each day. And…our outdoor potted plants were all in great shape when we got back! Thank you Kristin!
Ellen was amazing! She stayed with our 2 large girls for 12 days and took amazing care of them. She was very communicative on any day to day activities, changes, she kept us very informed. She left our home spotless and even did some cleaning for us so our return home was smoother. Would definitely book with her again!
Laila was fantastic! She was reliable, communicative, and kept us updated throughout her stay, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from her updates and photos that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with our pup, and our dog looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We came home to a content dog and a great overall experience. We’d gladly book with Laila again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Laura is one of the warmest and friendliest people I've ever met. I immediately felt at ease upon meeting her. She helped care for 2 of my dogs while I was out of the country with my husband. One of my dogs is particularly a handful because he's reactive and needs extra care when outside, but she was so sweet and patient with him. Even before meeting her, she was very responsive to all my messages. She also sent me pictures and updates regularly while we were away. I'm so glad I met her.

The average cost of House Sitting in Fairfield is $45 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $133 per night.

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 Fairfield 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 Fairfield 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 Fairfield 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.

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.
