“Mikayla was awesome with our girls and very professional with our house while we were out of town. We came home to happy dogs and a clean home, she was also very good about communication both before and during the trip. Will absolutely use her again.”
“Wren is phenomenal. He went above and beyond providing care for our dog while we were gone on a family vacation. My dog is visibly sad that Wren is no longer hanging out with him since our return. Wren comes with our highest recommendations- if you are looking for a dependable, experienced and kind hearted care giver for your pet, he is your guy.”
“We would highly recommend Jess. She took excellent care of Roxie, our yellow Lab, while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. She kept in touch with photos and any questions we had were answered promptly. The house was cleaner than when we left it! Roxie was in wonderful shape and her fur was so soft she must have been brushed daily! We would use her again without reservation.”
“Taylor was a wonderful pet sitter and took excellent care of our two small dogs and our house! She is very warm and friendly and was great with our pets. When we came home after our weekend away, our pets were relaxed and happy. She even baked some cookies for us!”
“Theo is amazing! He sent photos and updates frequently. Most importantly he knew what charly needed and provided lots of TLC! He also left our home cleaner than when I left! 5/5 stars!!! ⭐️”
About: Vacation with peace of mind knowing your beloved canine family member will be safe and happy; and perhaps, a bit overly loved. There’s always lots of play and pamper time and all walks are free! I’ll gladly keep in direct contact with you providing pictures and videos throughout each. I will lay with your fur babies, play outside, go on walks/adventures, relax and watch movies. I love all animals and believe they deserve to have a good time even when their owner cannot be home. I have always been an animal lover, i never felt like watching them was work, just fun. I respect the owner's wishes for anything they need me to do in order to give their animal the best experience while I am watching them. I am always home since I’m a full time grooming student @ Animal Behavior College. My long term goal is to open up a pet and spa resort one day! 🐾 I believe that daily exercise, games, mental challenges and proper socialization is necessary for your pup to live a long and happy life! We think it’s so important that we do it for our pup and of course yours while you are away. I have a fenced in back area and 2 fur babies myself to keep your pup company. We have extra crated if needed and loads of toys to keep them happy! If alone time is their thing, they are always allowed to cuddle with us on our furniture! If a drop- in, I am very good at following concise instructions to insure happy and safe animals while you’re away! I am always home as I’m a mom of three. Your pet will get lots of one on one attention from me. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I have a fenced yard outside area and lots of toys. Also, I have a pool for my fur friends to play and cool off in during the summer! Your fur baby will feel at home and will receive lots of love and cuddles.
“Philip did a fantastic job caring for our fur baby Nugget and accommodating our unique requirements. He impressed us with his professionalism and approach toward Nugget right away making us feel comfortable entrusting Nugget to his care. We especially appreciated Philip’s easy communication style, updates and photos. We highly recommend Philip for anyone’s pet-sitting needs.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with a dog trainer for a parent, aside from our own dogs, we would have clients’ Dogs stay with us as a kenneling alternative. Im super comfortable around them and can’t wait to fill my house with them one day! I am not in a position to have my own, yet, and this is a wonderful way to get my “fix”... kind of like my nieces and nephews, have fun with them but give them back ;) I would love to take care of your baby and give them love and attention in your absence. I love walking and am active! I’m a full time hairstylist and have a range of availability. Thank you so much!
“Jenny took wonderful care of our dog Millie while staying at our house. She left the house super clean and Millie seemed very happy when we returned. We are booking her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“This weekend trip was our first since moving to NH in 2023. Prior to that, after a disastrous experience with a housesitter (not Rover) in 2018, we did travel but to places where we could take our dogs. I share this as background to explain my apprehension for having another house-sitting experience. I am happy to tell anyone reading this that Liam restored my faith that there are caring and diligent housesitters for people like me! Liam's caring manner and awareness of potential problems (he let me know that one of our dogs had not eaten yet; knowing my dogs, I suggested a solution and said dog ate everything!) Additionally, despite our telling him we were enroute home and he could leave, he chose to wait until we returned home! I would say this was above and beyond providing great service!! If you are PARTICULAR like me about who takes care of your fur babies, I would highly recommend allowing Liam to sit for you!”
“Hollyn took exceptional care of my three dogs for two days while I was away. She put in the time to get to know each of my three dog’s personalities and offered to meet with us multiple times before the date of the booking to allow the dogs to get to know her! She took the time to read through all of the dogs’ care instructions and the home rules and made sure to ask me any questions she had before I left. She kept good communication and sent me pictures daily. Hollyn made sure my dogs got lots of outdoor time and that they were loved and cared for.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have hands-on experience caring for them through family, friends, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic bathing, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and always try to understand each pet’s personality so they feel comfortable and relaxed with me. I’m lucky enough to do pet care full-time, so your dog or cat will be my main priority all day long. Since I don't have a typical 9-5, I can basically be a 'stay-at-home pet parent' for your furry family member. My day usually starts early with a long walk and breakfast, followed by plenty of playtime and snuggles throughout the afternoon. I’m rarely away from the house for more than a quick errand, so your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I really pride myself on keeping their routine exactly like it is when you’re home. I specialize in caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel most secure. I’m extremely respectful of your space and follow all house rules and safety protocols to the letter. Because I don’t have a fenced yard at my own place, I prefer to focus my energy on yours—ensuring doors are always locked and pets are never left unsupervised in unsecured areas. I prioritize high-quality one-on-one time, follow strict feeding and medication schedules, and love sending daily photo updates so you can see how much fun we’re having!
“I have used Rover twice now and both times with Erin. It was strange having someone you do not know stay in your house. Like I said, I never used the service before but I really wanted to be able to keep my dogs in their own home. Erin is unbelievable. She is great with the dogs and with my home. I’m not sure I would be able to adjust well in a strangers home, but she does a great job. When I get home, everything is in place as I left it and the dogs are happy and safe. Both of my experiences with Erin have been great. I would trust her again and again with Levy and Frank. ❤️❤️”
About: I can’t remember a time when animals were not a part of my life. From rabbits and birds, hamsters and gerbils to dogs and cats. Currently I have three older rescue cats who are huge snugglers During the school year I’m available before and after school as well as weekends and holidays. Summers are wide open to love new pet friends I am able to drop in and make sure food, walks and clean up Is done before school. After school I can spend time with longer wonder walks, playtime, and snuggles. Weekends are available as needed
The median cost per night for house sitting in Litchfield is $65
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Litchfield
We had such a great experience with Julie caring for our dogs while we were on vacation. She followed all of our instructions really well and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Julie was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about our dogs, which meant so much to us. It’s not easy leaving your pets, but knowing they were in such good hands gave us real peace of mind. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and everything just as we left it. We would absolutely book with Julie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Litchfield is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $63 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,516 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Litchfield. 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 Litchfield 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 Litchfield 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Litchfield 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
