“Destiny was a great sitter for my aging pup. She kept me well informed as to what they were doing, her walks, play and rest. She followed my instructions, sent photos and responded to any questions I had while away. My house was clean and well cared for, too. My dog, who usually gets very sad when I'm away, was happy and her regular self when I returned. I would definitely recommend!”

“Hillary was awesome! I’ll definitely be booking her again. She was very communicative and sweet to my dog Misu. During our meet and greet, she also really took the time to get to know my dog and ask about his needs.”
“We had a great experience with Alexis this past weekend! She was friendly, reliable, and communicated with us consistently throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was clearly well cared for and happy when we returned, and it was reassuring to know our home was also in good hands. Everything was just as we left it. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
“Alex was incredible. She just gets it!Great with four dogs who never missed a beat with Alex. Alex stayed three nights and left the house impeccable. She graciously agreed to vacuum and pick up poop in the back yard. We came home to a house that looked as good as when we left. Thank you, Alex!”
“Kris watched our dog Finn for two days at our house and did an awesome job! He sent photos and kept us updated throughout the stay. We had complete peace of mind that Finn was in good hands while we were away! We'll definitely book with them again”

“Valeria stayed with our Chancey for a full week. She sent frequent updates of their walks and play together. Apart from taking such great care of Chance, she communicated very well when there was an issue with our ACs. She also went above and beyond to ensure we returned to a tidy house. Thank you Valeria, we are lucky that we can count on you with our fur baby 🐕.”
About: Hi! My name is Sam and I'm here to help ease your anxiety 🩷 I'm all too familiar with the constant cloud of worry that can follow you around when you're not with your dog, so I will do anything I can to help alleviate any anxiety you have about leaving your best friend at home for the day (or while you go on that much-needed vacation)! I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have been taking care of them since I was in high school. From raising a puppy to caring for a senior, I've been there through every stage of life. I have experience managing chronic conditions that require medication multiple times a day, dietary restrictions, and administering sub-q fluids. I understand what it means to care for a dog both physically and emotionally - dogs are family, end of story. What to expect when you book with me: ✔️ solid communication: I love to send photo updates and will respond to any texts as soon as possible ✔️ undivided attention: your dog is my #1 priority, always ✔️ reliability: I will arrive on time and follow any directions you leave to a T ✔️ endless patience: your dog and your worries are never an inconvenience Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and I can't wait to meet your fuzzy family members! I work from home full-time on my small, handmade business, so I'm almost always able to rearrange my schedule to fit in your dog's needs! I'm extremely attentive to your dog to make sure they are always safe and well-cared for. I listen to their needs and follow any schedule you leave for me.
“Rose was amazing with Oreo! So attentive and loving, with a strong attention to detail. We did not have any worries while we were away for a week with Rose in charge. In addition to taking such good care of Oreo, she also took great care of our home. We would highly recommend Rose.”
“Tatiana looked after our dog Delilah whilst we were in England for a week. She did a truly wonderful job- taking great care of Delilah and of our house and kept in touch with the loveliest photos and videos. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“She stayed at my house and took care of my dog she did a fantastic job! I am so pleased with her! She made sure she didn’t leave a mess in my house and took pictures of the dog all the time it was great I am so pleased I would definitely use her again”
About: I've taken care of a neighbors dog by giving them walks, playtime, and monitoring their water and food while the family was on vacation. I'm a college student and will be back in late May from school and will be in Fairfield CT until early August when I go back to school. However I'll be back for the holidays and will update my schedule for hiw long I'm staying. I plan to take care of pets in clients home by finding g a time to meet with the owners to discuss if there are any specifics their pet may need. This would also be a good time to learn more about the clients and what their expectations are. As well as taking time to be around the pet for some time before the initial job begins, for each new client.
“Our first and certainly (hopefully!) not last experience with Claire was wonderful in every way. From start to finish, she was polite, friendly, communicative, and responsive. She went out of her way to make sure our senior pup got the exercise and special attention she needed during our week away from home and provided regular and thorough updates. Any pup would be incredibly lucky to be in her company and care.”

I’m in my second year of PA school and I live at home with my parents and 3 siblings, we all love animals and spend time with the pets we pet sit! I have a fenced in yard with tons of space and live at the end of a quite street, if you’re pet does not do well with other pets that’ll never be a problem since there are no other dogs being walked on our street.
“Kim did a fabulous job house sitting for our cat. She gave her lots of love and attention and took great care of her. I was very relaxed while away knowing that our Bunny cat was in good and reliable hands!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairfield
Samantha is amazing! She's very responsive, attentive, and took great care of our puppy, Gracie. She asks questions and makes sure she understands how best to take care your pet. We knew we were leaving Gracie in very capable hands. It was also clear how much Gracie loved her time with Sam!
OMG Angie & Chris I can't thank you enough for caring for my little girl, correction, my Queen, while I was out of the country. You are naturals at this! Thank you for the daily photos and updates and thanks so much for taking care of the apartment and leaving it totally spotless.

Katie was amazing with our highly active Australian shepherd and senior cat. She their food and medications instructions perfectly and took our dog on long walks every morning. She is punctual and super tidy, leaving our house just as we had left it. It’s obvious that she truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel cared for when their families are away!
Caitlin was a perfect sitter! Pictures, movies, reports, all I needed to be sure my girl was safe and happy. Caitlin was very accommodating, doing little extras I needed done for the impending snowstorm. She was also very flexible about changing dates. Highly recommend!!
Cece is the best! Her love for cats is genuine and I didn’t worry at all about my 2 cats while I was away. She took such good care of them, and one of them is diabetic and needs insulin twice a day, so not always easy. I highly recommend Cece and will definitely book with her again!
Chloe was fantastic! She looked after our dog and two cats during our international move from the UK to the US, including being there when they arrived before us. Her communication was excellent throughout, and we felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such good hands. Highly recommended!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fairfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fairfield on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,756 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fairfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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 Rover Guarantee , 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.
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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fairfield. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
