“Sarah was great! She did in-home pet sitting for our dog and cat while we were on vacation. She sent daily picture updates which is nice when you are missing your pets. We were first time users of Rover which was a bit nerve-wracking but Sarah was recommended to us and we couldn't be happier with how smooth it went and how good she was to work with! We hope Sarah is available next time we need pet sitting.”
“Kirk took great care of our dogs and house while we were out of town. They seemed content upon our return and everything was in order. He communicated well and sent some pics during our trip. Would absolutely hire again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Perfect communication and care for our dog. Took great care of our home while we were away. Sends just the right amount of photos, not too many not too little. Easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Our third time with Liz and each time as been great. Thanks Liz!”
“We have had Karen watch our pups several times and every time has been a wonderful experience! She is incredibly responsible with them and our house. We always come home to happy pups and a clean home. We just love her!”
“Brody was professional, responsive, and communicative. He got along so well with my big, energetic dogs and took good care of our home. I’ll definitely book with him again!”
“Isabelle took great care of our dog and our home. Everything was immaculate when we returned and our dog was happy and healthy. We will definitely ask Isabelle to stay in our home with our dog again!”
“Mark was awesome with our three dogs! He was kind and patient, particularly with our fearful rescue. He had to navigate some very nervous evenings with fireworks going off and did so with so much compassion and care, including administering medication. He managed their complex relationships and personalities without missing a beat and we will be eager to have him back for future housesitting for our pups!”
“Josh was amazing to our girl, Anela! With the fires happening around the area, he kept us updated and was even so kind to stay the night to ensure we were comfortable until the fires were contained. We appreciate you!!”
“Mckenzie took great care Housesitting for our energetic retriever. She did a nice job of communicating with us which made being away easy. Definitely will be asking her to sit again.”
About: Hello! My name is Michael. I absolutely LOVE animals, especially dogs and cats. I would love to care for yours, and attend to their needs. Book with me today! I work full time Monday - Friday, but I have a flexible schedule during the week and can work remote if needed! I can move my schedule around to meet your pets needs for pet sitting, walks, etc! My typical bookings are drop-ins or house sitting. I’m pretty flexible on the schedule! I don’t have the capacity to board animals at my current residence, but I specialize in house sitting, drop ins, walks, etc. I have experience administering topical and oral medications to both cats and dogs, and I do my best to keep their routine the same while you are away, so they are comfortable and happy! I’m all about giving them the calm, loving, positive attention they are used to.
“I had such a wonderful experience with Payton! They truly went above and beyond, giving updates, extra love and attention, and making me feel completely at ease while i was away. I came home to a happy, calm, and well cared for pup. I am incredibly grateful and would absolutely book with them again!”
“I am a new tender hearted dog owner who was so nervous to leave my pup. Nichole put me at ease and took wonderful care of Red. Daily updates and pics were great and kept me from worrying. She took great care of my house too. I will be asking Nichole again anytime I need a dog sitter!”
About: I grew up around dogs and never miss the chance to offer a walk. I learn and adapte fast to your dog’s needs and personality. I love being active and outside. I’m saving up for a PT certification, so be one pet at a time! I’m currently waiting for w-2 job to start so have a lot of free time in my hands. I know leaving a pet with someone new can be stressful. My goal is to give you some peace of mind and keep you informed on everything we do and how it’s going. Typically fresh bowl of water, litter box is clean at least three times a day (if not more). Grooming every week and brushing their teeth two times a week, playtime outside at least twice a day.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,594 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:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
