“Taylor is fantastic with our dog! She takes great care of her, is on time and communicates clearly about her visits! Cheez is always happy and calm when we come home from her time with Taylor and we love that we have someone we can trust to care for her while we’re away!”
About: I work at a doggy day care, and spend over 25 hours every week there. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and believe every dog deserves all the love and care they can get. I work part-time with dogs, so pet care naturally fits into my schedule. I’m used to early mornings, mid-day breaks and evening cuddle sessions. I’m happy to fit my schedule around your pets needs. I make sure they are always supervised, comfortable, and in a secure environment. I follow any special instructions provided and I’m used to keeping dogs happy, healthy, and stress-free! With lots of love and care included!
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’ve taken care of pit bulls, golden retrievers, and tabby cats! Entrusted by friends and family with their pets, I’ve learned that I have a great affinity for animals (maybe more than I do for people) I currently work evenings at a restaurant, and I’m searching for daytime employment as we speak. In the meantime, I’m open to daytime supervision of animals as well as overnights after work. I have a fenced-in yard and a very docile and friendly golden retriever. She’s 11 and gets along with every animal she meets. When taking care of a pet at client’s homes, I prioritize leaving it in the same or better condition than I found it.
“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’m a hard working professional who works remote and looking to spend some time with animals. I’ve always had a dog growing up and am looking to pet sit until I get a dog of my own again. I’ve worked with animals for years and am very fond of them. Always a very courteous person and flexible. Willing to help with anything you need. Would love to have your dog in my home and am willing to travel to yours. Have experience caring for both dogs and cats, open to either. Will love your animal like it’s my own. Please reach out if you have questions. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I currently work remote and have all the time needed to care for your pet like it’s my own. Looking forward to meeting your pet! I have a spacious house and yard for your pets to enjoy. Walks will be every two hours and many trips to the park for a good time!
About: I’ve had both a dog and cat of my own and have taken care of neighbors’ pets for years! I am an animal lover and will give your fur babies the love they deserve :) I am currently a full time graduate student, but I have lots of availability on weekends if you go away on a trip, and I can do drop in visits on most weekdays! I am unable to board your pets but can stop by as often as needed. You can trust me to keep your pets safe, healthy, and happy in your home while you’re gone!
About: Growing up with cats and various household pets, and loving dogs all my life has lead me to care and appreciate pets into my adult life. Looking to take care of the ones who love us the most for you. I am currently a full time music educator during the weekdays so I am available after school to walk and pet sit on an hourly basis. On Fridays and weekends I am also available for over night care as needed. In your home I will abide by all rules and routines you may have already. I can also ensure consistent care and attention to your pet’s needs.
About: I’ve had and watched lots of different pets. I own two large rescue dogs, and have watched many others. I’ve also cared for small dogs like Yorkers and bichons as well. I have owned 3 cats so I have experience with cats as well. I don’t know anything about caring for bunnies, rodents or reptiles. I work part time. My days off are Mondays, Wednesdays and every other Sunday. I am happy to do overnights within a 30min drive from Trumbull, CT. Tues 2-8pm Thurs 10-4 Friday 10-4 Saturday 10-3 Every other Sunday 10-2 I offer in-home care, walks around the park or local neighborhood, hikes, and/or play time in the yard. I prefer not to bring your pets into my own home as my dogs don’t always like having other animals visiting.
About: Responsible, caring, and dependable pet caregiver and proud dog mom with experience providing loving care, walks, feeding, and companionship. I am CPR certified and work as a medical assistant, so safety and attention to detail are very important to me. I treat every pet like family and always provide reliable communication and care. I currently work full time during the week, but I am available on weekends for dog walking and pet sitting. I have flexible availability on Saturdays and Sundays and can accommodate different times as needed I treat all pets as if they were my own. I give them the care and attention they need. I am trustworthy, loving and caring.
About: I have grown so fond of taking care of fur babies the more years I do it. I enjoy working with all different breeds and building a connection to the pets I take care of. I’ve learn to work with all ages, breeds, behaviors. The best part? Knowing that people entrust me to bring their fur babies back to me, and knowing that the dogs are excited to return. I have a part time job currently so I have plenty of time to be with your pet(s) whenever I’m not at work, so it’s flexible. I like to thoroughly ask questions about the dog I’ll be taking care of (food, any medications? Exercise? Do they like to play? Etc.) I want to make sure not only yourself but the dog is as comfortable as can be.
About: With personal experience raising my own 5-year-old dog and caring for neighborhood pets, I understand the importance of dependable, attentive pet care. I’m comfortable with daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, and providing updates so you feel at ease. I aim to create a calm, positive experience for every dog in my care! I am currently a physical therapy student home for summer break. I usually have full availability on weekdays and weekends. Once my clinical starts in mid July my availability will shift to only weekends. Whenever I am watching dogs, I make sure they have a collar on when going outside, make sure all gates and fences are closed, and that they have used the bathroom before I leave the house.

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 Fairfield 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 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!
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 Fairfield with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
