“Mikayla stayed with our active Jack Russell for 2 weeks while we were away. I never worried about our pup, knowing that she was being taken care of and played with. Mikayla shared updates and pictures, and answered promptly when I checked in with her. I recommend her without hesitation, we have never been so at ease while away.”
“Again, Sarah was wonderful in taking care of Lucy. She was available for my last minute request and managed everything well. She even watered my plants! Sarah always goes above and beyond. Lucy always seems very happy and content upon my return. I would highly recommend her.”
“Andrea was able to watch our dogs very last minute before Labor Day. Very seamless. Great communication and dogs enjoyed her around. Will definitely use again in the future.”
“Wren was very communicative with me and asked lots of good questions about Moose. He sent us lots of pictures and updates. Moose is very sensitive but Wren was very patient with him and took care of his extra needs. We’ll definitely be working with Wren again!”
“Jessica T. is fantastic. Our dog Buttercup loves her and is always excited to see her. We have used Jessica a couple times while we were away on vacation. She stayed in our house with our dog and couldn’t ask for a better sitter. She is great with getting back to me and keeping us updated on Buttercup with photos. I would highly recommend Jessica!”
“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!”
“April is amazing and made some new friends! Gave Lilly her meds that she had just received the day before. Managed to get Molly to give up some socks (a task I struggle with!) and and sent Proof of life pics ! I would definitely recommend April”
About: Hi! I’m Alanna, a lifelong dog lover with both personal and professional experience caring for pets. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid and I’ve worked as a shift lead at a pet store for over 2 years, where I also handle dogs in the grooming department. This means I’m very comfortable working with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments including anxious or high-energy dogs. I have experience with handling, basic grooming support, and reading dog behavior, so your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work part-time and take most of my college classes online, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to be available throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and care. I always adjust my care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal schedule to minimize stress, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment and provide regular updates. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment with constant supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. My experience working in a pet store and handling dogs in grooming has made me confident with a wide range of temperaments, so safety and comfort are always my top priorities.
“Christine did her usual wonderful job taking care of our Bobby. She has such patience with our almost 15 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She is very responsible and reliable! We so appreciate her and highly recommend her as a petsitter/housesitter.”
“I had a last-minute adjustment to my vacation schedule and needed a sitter and found Shayna. She was super flexible and accommodating, and came to meet my dogs and learn their routine the same day! Shayna provided excellent care for my dogs who are anxious and can sometimes be difficult to care for. I would absolutely use her again for overnight services or walking anytime that we are traveling and she is available! Thank you for taking such good care of my girls💙🐶”
“Brandon was great!! Would love to have him stay with out dogs again. He was super communicative, and sent picture updates. He even let Olive sleep in bed with him hahaha. We were nervous with Harvey since he’s a new addition, but he was great with Harvey off leash, and seemed to really enjoy him. He even came back to let our dogs out one last time when we got stuck with airline issues. I Was very thankful that we left our dogs with someone who treated them just as we would. Cannot suggest Brandon enough!”
“Keirsten was great with my dog Odin. He can be reactive on leash and so we are cautious when having new sitters. Keirsten followed our instructions closely and made sure we were comfortable which was so appreciated!”
About: Walking your dog will probably be the highlight of my day!I’ve spent my whole life helping raise dogs small to large, as well as helping friends and family out often. Even though in college I was a Health Science major, i took elective animal psych and behavioral classes that i feel really helped my understanding and knowledge about dogs and cats! I make my schedule to fit my pets needs, so in the morning I let my 2 dogs out for potty and little exercise before breakfast.My mom works from home so she will come let them out around noon and at 5 one of them goes on a walk with me while the other stays back in the yard (he doesn't like the outside world)! I will make sure your dogs needs are met depending on breed, size, age, etc. I have worked and owned dogs from 12lbs to 105lbs so I feel well equipped. If your dog is a breed I am not familiar with I will look into the breed beforehand to better understand the dog. Im used to reactive dogs, and am careful to read their body language at all times.
“Veronica was fantastic! The girls really loved her and she kept us updated with pictures. It was a great comfort to know the girls were in such good hands. We and the girls look forward to you babysitting in the future.”
About: We are an animal loving family who would love to provide all the love and care for your dog while you’re away. Your pup will truly be treated as apart of the family when they are with us. We will be sure to make sure they are comfortable and happy during their stay! We are located in a great neighborhood in north Nashua and are always taking walks around the neighborhood and trips to the park. We have one friendly cat and two animal loving kids. No kennel required, your dog is free to make themselves at home! We are comfortable with administering meds as well. We hope to meet you and your four legged family members soon and hope to make your time away stress free!
“Kirsten was fantastic with Izzy! I had to be out of the house for a very long day, and Kirsten was great about coming over to walk Izzy several times and play with her. I really appreciated her communications and I would definitely book with Kirsten again!”
“Jennifer was great - she came to our home for 3 nights that we were going to be out of town to take care of our 10 lb. chihuahua mix. The house was left spotless and our dog seemed like she had a really great time while we were away (which isn't always the case). We'll definitely be booking again for our in-home pet sitting needs.”
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 for House Sitting in Litchfield on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,581 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.
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 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 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.
