“Samantha was very communicative and took adorable pictures of our pup. She also was kind enough to come and meet our special needs girl before the first drop in. I highly recommend her!”
About: Having raised a young, active dog, I’m very comfortable managing high energy, playful routines, and keeping dogs entertained and happy. I understand how essential structured play, regular exercise, and gentle guidance are for younger or spunky pets. You can count on me to give your dog plenty of physical activity, mental stimulation, and lots of cozy affection so they feel right at home! I am a junior at Fairfield University, so I am available whenever I don’t have class and am not doing school work! I am a certified animal-lover and I would love to help make your pet comfortable and happy. As a student and a dog owner, I understand the importance of having a trusted caretaker to help ease your mind when you have to be away from home. Safety and personalized care are my top priorities. I have direct experience caring for a dog with IMHA (Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia), so I am very comfortable and experienced with strict medication schedules, monitoring subtle health or behavior changes, and following precise care instructions. I create a safe, low-stress environment with appropriate enrichment suited to your dog's specific energy levels and medical needs.
“Kim is wonderful —very reliable and caring. She always arrived on time and took great care of my pet. She even helped bring in my packages, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend her and book again.”

I am a former veterinary technician who is now working full time at the mystic aquarium. I would absolutely love to care for your pets in my free time. I am available on my lunch breaks (1 hour), before and after work and on weekends. I am available for dog walking, house calls and house sitting! I am very organized and maintain a schedule within my work and everyday life. I will tailor my time according to your pets needs, making sure they get their walks, meals and enrichment properly in a way that suits them best!
About: As a school teacher, I bring patience, structural routines, and high energy to dog care. I have lived with dogs, dog sat for various breeds, and love being around them. Whether your pup is a high-energy athlete who needs a long cardio walk or a gentle soul who just wants to curl up on the couch, my calm temperament helps dogs feel completely safe, secure, and relaxed in my care. Cat Care Expert: Six years of hands-on experience managing everything from playtime to specialized schedules for my own two cats. Dog Sitting: Experienced with various dog breeds, sizes, and temperaments, ensuring they stay happy and active. Teacher Instincts: Natural caregiver, highly responsible, punctual, and excellent at following precise routines or medical instructions. Trusted by homeowners to maintain a clean, secure house while providing dedicated, overnight pet care. Being that I am a teacher on summer break, I have a lot of time to care for your home environment and pets!
About: I’ve taken care of Cats and Dogs growing up. Some of my best memories came from my Yorkie-Terrior named Billy and Beagle named Ruby. Bonding with your pets is such an invaluable experience that can be life-changing for all those involved. Currently between jobs, searching for part time work. I’ll have loads of time to provide quality care for your precious pets. I’m available for House Sitting, Drop-In/Out visits and Walks. :) I follow instructions listed by each client to the T. I take my time to read carefully written instructions. I may ask for clarification on any request, solely to ensure I know the best way to properly look after, walk and take care of each pet, (family member,) as if they were my own.

Caitlin has been absolutely fantastic taking care of our cat June. June can be a bit shy around new people but instantly warmed up to Caitlin and was totally comfortable and happy. We needed a rover fairly last minute and Caitlin was super accommodating. Most importantly she was thoughtful, caring and attentive to June! Cannot recommend her more!
Grace is a kind and caring person. She takes such great care of my 2 cats while I'm away. The guilt of leaving them, while not gone completely, is dramatically lessened when I know Grace will be there to look after them. Great communication and daily photos and videos. Thank you Grace!
We had Lauren do drop in visits twice a day and stayed overnight with George for 16 days and she worked well with the schedule of the rotation of like 2 days drop in, three days overnight. She has watched George every time that we have gone away and she has built a nice relationship with George. We traveled to Austria and Italy during that time of late August and early September, and felt very comfortable and relaxed that she was responsible, very kind and responsive. We appreciate her and feel so lucky to have her for our George and he loves her too. Thank you you again Lauren💕🌺

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Fairfield on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,398 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fairfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
