“Tara is the best! She has watched our cats many times now and takes such good care of them. I can tell she really enjoys spending time with them and giving them the attention they need while we’re away. We know we don’t have to worry about the cats while we’re away because they’re in good hands!”
“Carlie was fantastic with my very elderly cat, Molly. I was so afraid to leave her but Carlie left me confident. Molly is starting to miss the litter box and Carlie had no hesitancy about clean ups. She sent the best pictures and reports that always made me smile. Highly recommend!”
“Annmarie took care of our two cats while we were away for the holidays. She did a great job taking care of them, kept their litter boxes tidy, and was communicative and helpful throughout our time away. She helped us out by bringing in packages, alerting us to a beeping sound in our boiler room, and keeping our kitties cared for. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Great cat sitter! Linda was super attentive and such a loving caretaker for our two cats. She not only followed our instructions, but also provided daily notes and pictures that made the time away feel a lot easier. I would definitely get Linda’s services again!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and grew up with 3 dogs and 5 cats. I’ve also owned a dog and currently help care for my aunt’s diabetic cat, including giving him insulin twice a day. I’m responsible, caring, and dependable, and I would treat your pets like they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members! 🐾❤️ I work full-time as a paraeducator for Danbury Public Schools from 8 AM–3 PM. I’m available after work and would love to provide loving, reliable care for your pets in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. 🐾 I’m happy to care for your pets in my home or in your home, depending on what works best for you and your pet. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Jen did drop in visits for us with our cat while we were on vacation and kept her well fed and cuddled. She was reliable and trustworthy. We received daily photos to reassure us she was doing well. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter. We’re very grateful to have found her to care for our cat so we could relax on vacation.”
About: I've been taking care of my own dog since we first got her 7 years ago, and I also used to volunteer at the New Milford Animal Shelter. My family fosters animals (both cats and dogs) from Because 4 Paws in New Milford, so I have some basic experience with administering medicines and helping others administer medicines. I've also been a dog sitter for 3 different families. I recently moved back to the east coast and am looking for some side work while I hunt for a full time job. I'm not sure when that will be, so I'm trying not to set my availability too far out, but am still flexible for now! Depending on what the owners are comfortable with, I would love to take the dogs out for a walk at a nearby park or walking trail. We have four cats at our house that are wary of new animals, so I am unable to pet sit at my residence. However, I am willing to spend time with your fur babies at your house or preferred location, and will follow whatever instructions necessary to ensure the comfortability of you and your pets.
“We were very pleased with Nicole’s service! She was easy to work with and provided tender, loving care to our cat while we were out of town on a short trip. Being a cat owner herself, our cat took to her immediately and jumped right onto her lap. Nicole followed our feeding instructions precisely and sent periodic photo updates, which really eased our anxiety since this was our first time using a pet-sitting service. We came home to a happy, calm cat, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Nicole again in the future!”
About: Big dogs and little dogs are all happy dogs. I enjoy taking care of and spending time with animals. I have had experience since my childhood I will be more active in my life physically walking them and taking care of them. It’s a perfect job cute animals and taking care of them for money. It’s perfect. I will take the best care of your pet at your home. Just let me know if they need something or have a certain routine and I got it!
“Xena is a cat person! She took such good care of our two kitties! We had planned a 10 day trip for our 20th wedding anniversary and were unable to book our usual sitter. We found Xena on Rover and couldn’t be happier. She really gave our two Siberian cats loving attention. She followed our instructions / requests for Beau our 1 year old boy, and Bella our 10 year old girl. She played with Beau and let him burn off some energy. Bella with extra long fluffy fur needs brushing to prevent hairballs and she also loves affection. We had some feeding instructions such as giving calming probiotic to Beau and hairball remedy to Bella. Xena addressed their individual needs. We scheduled her to come twice per day because Beau can get a bit hangry. He’s not ready to be left for 24 hours between visits. Xena was able to visit the kitties morning and evening each day. She sent us detailed notes and photos after each visit. The way she wrote about them, and described her time with them, told me she was doing a great job because I could see their individual personalities shining through her words. This really put us at ease while we were so far away from home. We were able to enjoy our trip without any worries about how our kitties were doing. When we returned both kitties were happy to see us, but they were clearly happy in general. Believe me after a lifetime of having cats, they find a way to let you know when they haven’t had a good experience with a sitter. They had a good experience with Xena and so did we!”
“Ebony took great care of my 2 kitties while I was away. She’s gave them lots of love, attention, and treats to make sure they were happy while I was gone. She was very communicative and sent me lots of photos of my babies which I loved and gave me peace of mind.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s energetic pups who love long walks or senior cats who prefer quiet companionship, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. As a proud pet parent to two dogs, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust. I treat every pet like family—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also experienced with administering medication, handling special diets, and sticking to detailed routines. I offer reliable house sitting and pet care in the Fairfield County area and pride myself on excellent communication and peace of mind for pet parents. Whether you’re heading out for a weekend or an extended trip, I’ve got you—and your pets—covered! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability throughout the day to focus on walking, playing with, and caring for pets. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or extended overnight stays, I’m able to dedicate the time and attention your pets need to feel happy and comfortable. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I love being able to make it a meaningful part of my week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely—whether that means feeding schedules, medication, walk times, or playtime preferences. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own space. I also keep the home tidy and always provide updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away. While I currently focus on house sitting and drop-in visits in the Fairfield County area, I treat every home with respect and every pet like part of the family. Whether it’s a quick check-in or an overnight stay, I bring a calm, caring presence that pets can trust.
“Kailah has been great with my dogs! I have 2 rescues who are super nervous around new people. This was our 3rd time booking with Kailah, she has been super patient and they are starting to warm up to her. I would recommend Kailah and will definitely be using her services again.”
About: I enjoy walking a lot, hiking, being very active in general I take caring for animals. I am Olivia, I am 27 and just moved to Connecticut from NY with my husband. I have done animal care for years. I have a cat of my own who is 15, he is an odd ball, very skittish and has help me gain an understanding of how to care for cats. During my cat sitting visits, I will first say the cat's name/names and see if they seem interested in interacting with me. I will ignore them if they seem shy or until they decide they would like to interact with me. I will feed them, clean the litter and whatever else is asked of me for housesitting or care. I have extensive childcare experience with plenty of references upon request, to show my ability to care for people as well as animals. I am looking for this as part time employment as I nanny 3 days a week, so I will be free to provide the best possible care. I recently came back from being a nanny in The Netherlands for 2 years. In regards to my own pets, I keep a consistent feeding and walking schedule, for their sake and so I get used to stay consistent in keeping my dog healthy with plenty of walks and hiking. I like to greet my animals early with cuddles and pets, mid to late day I and my cat will sometimes play with a feather toy or laser. My dog like to dance with me and play tug of war or just run together in the field by the end of my road. In regards to your animals, I make sure to follow the instructions carefully and pay great attention to details. If in your home, I will always make sure to take off my shoes, not make any messes, respect your personal things, and treat your sweet babies as if they were my own! (and play/care for your animals in a way you and them prefer it best)
About: Animals are my life! They literally flock to me and I've always had a way with my furry friends. In my childhood my German Shepard, Flash, was the love of my life and always loved energetic play, beach runs, and playing in the dunes. I handle dogs both big and small and my current client has a tiny teacup mix, Riley, who despite his ten years of age, will play fetch for hours on end. He does have a heart condition and problem with his trachea, so being careful during walks (not letting him pull the leash too hard) and making sure he doesn't overwork his little heart are two safety concerns to always be mindful of. I also regularly dog sit Riley for weekend stay overs and make sure to stay with him in the bed so he is comfortable. Having grown up with all kinds of pets like parakeets, dogs, and guinea pigs (just to name a few) I've literally learned to "talk to the animals" and it's easy for me to familiarize with new pets and their needs very quickly. I'm very high-energy and can take your dog for an energetic walk at a comfortable based based on their health or general needs. And If you want your pup in tip top shape I can jog with them for hours and incorporate other fun games and exercises in the mix. I'm currently a full time "Rover" so my schedule is fairly open. I'm flexible in terms of last-minute bookings as well. The same flexibility applies if you would like to book a day or overnight sitter. I live on High Ridge Rd in Stamford near the Merritt so I'm only about 10 minutes away from the Mianus River State Park and 7 minutes from the Stamford dog park

Jodi was just awesome! My pups and kitty loved her. Kodi went above and beyond making sure my 3 doxies got plenty of time out in the yard running around mot to mention a plethora of hugs and kisses. She even cleaned up a few unfortunate accidents. I would recommend Jodi highly, can’t wait for her to watch my guys again.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in New Fairfield is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $31 per visit. 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
