About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 8 years and currently have cats of my own, including a Maine Coon and a Siberian. I have experience caring for cats after surgery, administering oral and eye medications, grooming, and trimming nails. I’m comfortable caring for shy, senior, energetic, and independent cats, and I provide attentive care including feeding, refreshing water, scooping litter boxes, playtime, and lots of love. As a cat owner myself, I understand how stressful it can be to leave your cat in someone else’s care. I know how important it is to find someone you trust who will treat your pet like family. I take the time to learn each cat’s unique personality and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. After every visit, I’ll send photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is happy, healthy, and receiving the best care possible. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits throughout the day and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. Because I have a flexible work schedule, I can often adjust visit times to fit your cat’s routine and provide consistent care while you’re away. I understand that cats are happiest when they can stay in their own environment and maintain their normal routine. During each visit, I’ll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention based on their personality and comfort level. I’ll treat your home with respect, follow any care instructions carefully, and send photo updates after each visit so you can feel confident your cat is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Raquel was extremely professional and is a natural when it comes to taking care of our cats. They opened up to her on the first day, and she sent us daily photos. We would strongly recommend booking her if you’re looking a a solid sitter with a great heart.”
“Avery was awesome, she took such good care of Lulu. Giving us may updates while we where away and ensuring our home was left in perfect shape. Would highly recommend Avery and will be booking her again in the future!”
“This was our first time using Jessica, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met her, we felt comfortable and knew our dogs were in good hands. She was incredibly communicative throughout our trip and never made me feel like I was being a worry wart. She understood that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful and was always kind, responsive, and reassuring. Jessica took excellent care of our dogs, especially our French Bulldog, who requires extra attention in the Utah heat. She clearly took her responsibilities seriously, made sure they had plenty of potty and outdoor breaks, cleaned up after them, and paid close attention to their needs. She also took great care of our home, brought in our packages, and left everything just as we had hoped. We truly lucked out finding Jessica. We would absolutely book with her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy Rover sitter.”

I have a nice dog that loves to play and also chill around, she’s 6 years old.

“Tiffany did an amazing job for us. She spent the week with my cat and dog and she sent me updates and photos everyday. She was also quick to respond to my texts. I plan to hire her the next time we leave town if she isn’t already booked. You won’t go wrong with having Tiffany stay in your home with your pets.”
“Mark did a great job taking care of my pets. I felt safe leaving them with him. I especially liked receiving daily videos. It was reassuring to see my sensitive dog smiling. Mark also left left the house clean which I appreciated.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all kinds since I was young, and neighbors, friends, and family have always trusted me with their pets. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, bathing, and giving pets the attention they need to feel safe and happy. As a retired military veteran and stay-at-home dad, I bring responsibility, structure, and patience to every pet I care for. Your pets will be treated like part of my family. I recently retired from the military and am currently a stay-at-home dad while I attend school online. This gives me plenty of flexibility and time to care for pets throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I make sure every pet gets lots of attention, playtime, and care. provide a calm, safe environment with a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who enjoy having company. I’m responsible, dependable, and always make sure pets feel comfortable and loved. I can crate your dog if needed and follow any routines or instructions you prefer to keep your pet safe and happy.
“Haydyn was wonderful with my anxious goldendoodle, Poppy, who's scared of most people and doesn't like being petted. She let Poppy warm up at her own pace and kept me updated throughout the weekend. Poppy soon became comfortable and cuddly with Haydyn, who took her for walks, played, and kept her company. Haydyn respected my home and communicated well with me. I'd love to have her watch Poppy again!”
About: I grew up in a rural Southern Utah farming town and helped with horses, cows, pigs, sheep, goats and chickens. As well as family pets, mostly dogs and cats with some bird and small mamal experience. I have experience in caring for animals with special needs and medical issues, and I'm comfortable administering most medication. I have genuine love and passion for animals that has followed me through life, and I'm excited to meet you and your best friend, fur baby, love of your life, pain in the butt, adventure buddy, etc. 💜 I have a 5 year old Corgi named Valkyrie, and a 16 year old Devon Rex cat called Muppet. They are both friendly, if not apathetic toward other animals and are very calm. Currently living in an apartment, so medium to small animals would work best for my home. In your home, your rules, and I'm ready to learn them so your pet is most comfortable and happy.
“Sarah is so good with my shy girl. Diane loves Sarah and gets excited enough to do zoomies. Very glad to have found Sarah. It's nice to get updates and pictures and know Diane is in good hands. Thanks Sarah!”
“This is the second time we've engaged Liz's services and once again we are more than pleased. Liz is a perfect fit for our nervous dog, because Liz has a calm and loving nature that Stella quickly trusts. Stella spends a lot of time snuggling with Liz during our absence, thus we know Stella is comfortable and happy. The house is in perfect order and clean when we return. Both house and Stella do well under Liz's professional care. We will be using Liz's service again, and we highly recommend her to others for her honesty and excellent care.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Fairfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,589 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.

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.
