“Laquitta and James were wonderful taking care of our Duncan. They kept us posted with frequent texts and pictures of our dog enjoying their company. We highly recommend their services.”
“Maria was great and the house and yard were perfect for Henry. Maria sent pictures and updates every day we were gone. I could tell he was very happy and well cared for while we were away. I highly recommend Maria and would not hesitate to rebook (actually we already have)!! Thank you Maria!”
“Adam was a fantastic sitter! He sent lots of photos and updates and took great care of Charlie. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Adam and will be using him again in the future :)”
“Thank you so much Lorraine! Our Buddy's first time being boarded. He has some anxiety issues so momma was very nervous. The videos and pictures were great for me to relax and enjoy my time away lol.. Buddy looked to be just fine for his first time. We appreciate it and will definitely board him with you again!”
“This was the first time we left our puppy with someone and we are happy to say manny and Jessica were both amazing we had constant updates along with many pics of our little guy”
“Julia and Alllen took a good care of my two beautiful cata They responded to my messages , sent me pictures everyday , and hand fed my cat when she was anxious and refused to eat They are a great pet care giver and i will use their service again”
“Absolutely wonderful people! I had just adopted my dog a few days prior and needed to find him a last minute sitter and they were perfect for him! Very thorough and quick communicators. They sent pictures if I asked for them and even allowed him some pool time which I’m so grateful for, especially in this summer heat. I even think they helped with his crate training again because he’s not as afraid of it since we’ve gotten home. Overall, Merlin clearly enjoyed his time with them and I’m so grateful. Thank you so so much! I would 100% book again and highly suggest others do as well.”
“My sister lives in the area but is not a dog lover so I needed to find someone to take care of my 5 year old Bichon. I read the feedback for all of the Pet Sitters and Laura stood out since she had had many repeat customers saying nice things about her mannerism with dogs. So, we took a chance and had Teddy boarded with her. She was FABULOUS! Every day, I got several pictures showing what fun Teddy was having at her house, with her dogs and taking walks around the neighborhood. I felt very at ease knowing Teddy was being well taken care of. I will definitely use Laura again the next time I am in Palm Beach Gardens. She is terrific!! Thank You from Teddy and me!”
“I am so grateful to Paula and family for taking such good care of my baby. I had a last minute trip and she was so accommodating .She was sitting and enjoying petting when I walked in. I highly recommend Paula.”
“We’ve used Danielle for drop in visits for a couple of years now but with one of our dogs being 12 years old, we decided to try boarding while we were away for 10 days. I couldn’t recommend Danielle any more for drop in visits & boarding. Both of our dogs were so happy to be at her house and I felt at peace knowing they had someone loving on them 24/7 while we were away. Thank you again Danielle! I’m so thankful we found you on this app :)”
“Thank you Taylor and Wes! As always, Mocha had a great time! Thank you for the short notice booking. Anyone locally that needs a sitter, I highly recommend Taylor and Wes!”
“It was really great having Vanessa taking care of my dog. She was really great informing us of how our dog was doing through the day and she was really sweet with our dog. We are truly grateful for a peaceful trip knowing our dog was being taken care of.”
“Nicholas was a great sitter for my cat. He was very communicative giving updates on my cat everyday with photos and notes. Extremely polite and well mannered with a very clean living space. He was able to accommodate for pick up and drop off. Would highly recommend him to anyone.”
“I left my dog Sequoia with Cyndi while I was away for a week over Christmas visiting my relatives. Cyndi and her family took care of Sequoia as if she were a regular member of their household. Cyndi sent me photos and some videos that showed what wonderful care she was getting. If I go away again for a short or long time I will absolutely use Cyndi's service. And I highly recommend her to other pet owners!!!”
“Joseph and his dad took great care of Mia. I was worried about her being around his dog, Luna, because she is a big dog. Normally, Mia doesn't get along well with big dogs. She loved Luna, and they did well together. I had an emergency the night I was supposed to pick up Mia. Joseph was gracious enough to let Mia stay until I could pick her up the next day. Joseph is very kind, understanding, and compassionate. You can tell that Joseph and his dad really love dogs.”
“Maria ia awesome! We were very happy with Bella"s stay. Bella looked awesome when we picked her up and very excited. I recommend Maria to anyone looking for a great sitter. We will be using her in the future”
About: I have 5+ years of experience caring full time for my own furbaby + friends/family's precious pups! I also have experience with potty training and crate training. You can expect your pup to be treated like my own during their stay with me! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays so I can be home with your pet throughout the day these days. I also am completely free on weekends :) Depending on your pup's preferences, we might go on some fun nature hikes near our neighborhood or just chill at home and let them enjoy our large fenced backyard! I have a large fenced in backyard, a lovely neighborhood for walks, a dog park nearby, and several hiking trails nearby as well. We have a large doodle named Elvis who will be in the house. He is super friendly and loves to play with other dogs! He is also crate trained so if your pup needs some alone time during the day or prefers to sleep alone at night, we can accommodate that.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid! I love them so dearly and would love to look after your babies! I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs big and small, high energy and couch potato’s, as well as senior dogs. Most recently lost my own senior dog to cancer so rest assured I am well versed in caring for our sweet elder babies with medical needs who require a bit more supportive care. I love being around animals and would be happy to help care for yours. I work from home and live with my partner who also loves animals! Outside of work I have availability after 5 pm Mon-Fri and am available most weekends. Caring for pets would depend on each independent pet's needs so I’d be happy to discuss what that looks like :) I also live right next to a beautiful and big park which is perfect for walks!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Fairfield is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $68 per night. 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 of November 2026, there are 471 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Fairfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Fairfield can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Fairfield home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Fairfield.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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
- 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.
You and your Fairfield sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
