“Valerie is amazing! I had never needed to hire anyone to look after my dog before, so I had a bit of anxiety about leaving him, but Valerie soon put me at ease. Norman looked forward to Valerie’s visits every day, and it was clear that she not only has plenty of experience but also is incredibly compassionate. My dog is older, and she was great about giving him the right amount of activity and attention based on his behavior each day. I’ll be recommending Valerie to everyone I know.”

If this is your dog- message me! I Have walked dogs, watched overnight, fed, exercised them too. Love them like they’re my own animals. Have sat for my cousins and also walked strangers dogs as well. Always adhere to the owners requests. :) I’m quite active so I prefer to be outside. I have a fenced yard that works for small to medium dogs. I always give belly rubs, listen to what the owner wants, and take care of a dog as if it were my own. I will respect whatever rules you implement upon your animal. There are pictures mixed in of the past dogs I have watched too :) all happy! I work FT at home. Your dog would be able to roam our yard and play with my dogs all day. Daily walks too. Woo ! Fenced yard. I always make sure they can’t get out if I’m opening a door. Always use a leash. Play ball everyday and pick up droppings daily.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I have experience with all breeds large & small ranging from Pitbulls, German Shepards, chihuahuas & more. I worked as an executive assistant for over 4 years to a family where I took care of a variety of animals, from training puppies to putting on diapers for senior dogs. My responsibilities included everything from feeding, bathing, training, cleaning & much more. I am currently a full-time Pre-Med student working online trying to save money for medical school. I have a class on Monday from 5:30-6:45pm and the rest of the week I am available for dog care. I am very open to anything! Working as an executive assistant for a family with over 10 cats and several dogs, I was responsible for cleaning their litters, picking up after the nets, washing bowls, providing the dogs with their snacks or medicine and changing the diaper of the elderly dog. I am very respectful of the homes of others, especially the ones that I work in. I clean up after myself along with the fur babies and will treat it as if it were my own too with the upmost respect.
“Jennifer has been helping my family with our new puppy for 2 weeks now by coming and giving him a daily potty/lunch/play break while we are at work and school. She goes above and beyond for our pup and even gives some love to our older dog while she’s here. We love getting the daily updates and pictures she sends. Jennifer is kind, responsible, responsive, and reliable.”
“Braxton showed up on time for each care session and took excellent care of our cat. We highly recommend his service and will definitely use his service again in the future and will request his services again. Thanks”
“Shanley was able to come to my house twice a day and care for my kitties. I really appreciated the communication and the care she gave while I was gone. I would hire her again!”
About: From pups to senior dogs and kitten to elderly cats, all pets deserve a little extra pampering when their people are away! I look forward to meeting your pet or pet crew and helping them live their best lives! I work a variety of odd jobs so I'm available when needed for your pets! During a typical pet sitting stay I aim to spend nor more than 2-8 hours away from the house depending on the needs of the animals. Keeping animals in a familiar routine is my main focus. Whatever their usual daily schedule looks like (feeding times, walks, bedtime, etc) is what I try to recreate. I have experience administering medication if needed and am happy and able to provide walks as far as your pet enjoys.
About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was 9 and I’ve taken care of cats since I was in kindergarten. When going to friend’s homes I am respectful of special diets for their fur babies and follow the family’s list of requirements for their pets. I’ve taken care of pets for both friends and family. I’ve helped feed, walk and administer meds. Im working part time so I will have plenty of time to spend with pets to play, feed, walk and help enrich their lives while you’re away. I am playful, caring and gentle with furry friends. I like to make them feel as comfortable as possible around me so they know they can trust me. I like to also get to know the family and how they care for their pet in different circumstances to make sure I am doing things that your pet is used to.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairfield
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Allyson did another amazing job taking care of our pets while we were out of town! We always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in her care. She is reliable, attentive, and truly treats our pets like her own. We came home to happy, well cared for pets and couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend Allyson!
Kristin was very communicative with updates on our cats. She was very sweet and took care of them very well. One of our cats who is a senior and is shy took to liking her very much. Also very prompt, on time with each visits, and great with the taking care of each individual cat's needs. As a first time user on rover, she was a gem.
Wow! Did we get lucky with Rocelyn!! We decided to leave last min out of town and we were soooo fortunate to have found Rocelyn and her having availability! Especially on 4th of July weekend! Our little pup freaks over fireworks so we also needed someone that could help her feel secure and that’s exactly what Rocelyn did! Plus she helped clean the doggies area which was a huge help, something we didn’t ask her to do but she did it out of kindness!! So sweet. We felt our pups were very happy and had a blast with her as she came in to check on them. There was a lot of communication, pictures shared and overall we very good experience! Will book again!
Cristina was wonderful!! We had a change in schedule at the last minute but, she was able to assist. She communicated extremely well through the whole process, took pictures and provided great notes. When we got home, we returned to what we expected, Excited Pets!!! We will be using Cristina again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fairfield is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $33 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 November 2026, there are 4,954 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fairfield. 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fairfield. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
