“Tara was an amazing sitter! It was my first time using Rover and was naturally hesitant, but she made it a great experience. She sent many pictures, was very responsive, and really spent quality time with my pet during the visits. I would definitely recommend her and plan on reaching out to her in the future.”
“Rachael was incredibly responsive and was so wonderfully flexible helping me out in a last minute scramble. She was very attentive with my cats and they loved having her drop in! Would definitely recommend.”
About: I have over 7 years of hands-on experience in animal welfare, working with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. In my role as an animal care and transport coordinator, I’ve been responsible for feeding, administering medications, maintaining clean and safe environments, and monitoring overall health and behavior. I have extensive experience with special needs pets, animals with behavioral challenges, and rescue animals, and I approach every situation with patience, confidence, and compassion. My background has strengthened my ability to read animal body language, manage high-energy or anxious pets, and respond quickly to their needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits easily into my routine as I’m a local UConn student living in the area. I have a flexible class schedule, which allows me to plan my days around visits, walks, or check-ins. This flexibility also makes it easy for me to accommodate different times and provide consistent, reliable care throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, litter box cleaning, and providing plenty of attention, playtime, and enrichment. I also make sure the home stays clean and secure, and I send frequent text updates with lots of pictures to help ease owners’ minds and keep them connected while they’re away.
“Isabelle is a special caregiver. We hired her. To help care for our 2 German Shepherds, one of which is recovering from brain surgery to remove a tumor. With that, her and her partner have provided amazing care and shown love , compassion and patience to our guy. I highly recommend her if you need someone to provide that extra level of support.”
“Tinaclem was awesome! Annie is my “dogter” and I am extremely careful about where I leave her. From the beginning, I felt comfortable with Tinaclem, her family and her backyard 😍. Annie has a great time at her relaxation escape! I got daily updates, she went on walks, and kissed Tinaclem goodbye. I am so grateful I found someone trustworthy to watch her in the Danbury area … now I just need someone for my human daughter 😂. I full heartedly recommend Tinaclem! Thank you!!”
“Jodi is the best! She’s watched my cat a couple of times, and every time, she goes above and beyond. Seriously, my cat might love her more than me at this point! If you need a pet sitter, she’s the one to call.”
“Sarah saved my behind! She was able to come last minute and spend some time with my dog during the day. He was able to get his exercise and a some cuddles as well. Thank you!”
“Melissa made us feel so comfortable knowing our dog was being so well taken care of. Her updates and pictures are great. She is reliable and compassionate. Thank you Melissa!”
About: I’ve lived with pets my whole life. I’m a biology major pursuing animal science and conservation. I love everything about them and I will be volunteering at the animal shelter this summer! I have experience taking care of old dogs, and hyper ones, from helping out my family and friends over the years. I work on campus, so with my semester ending, I am completely free this summer to focus on caring for these pets! Weekends can be busy but I will account for that in my availability. This isn’t just an opportunity to make money, it’s a way to help and give back to my community. I will care for pets in the clients home by offering play to have fun and be ready to sleep at bedtime! I will also care for them by respecting their space and boundaries when needed. If they are in need of a friend, I am there.
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.
“Veronica is a very sweet woman who is punctual, caring, and communicates well. She cared for my two cats while I was away. I’m very thankful I met her! She is great at what she does and I’ll absolutely hire her again. Thank you!!”
“Being new the area we're glad we met Richie. Flexible and accommodating are two words that come to mind. Our "girls" look forward to his afternoon visits and we have piece of mind knowing we can count on him”
“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!”
“Kelsey is great! It was clear our pup loved her at their first meeting, and Kelsey took great care of him during a check-in visit. It turns out I didn’t have service while she was with him, so even when I was unable to get back to her question in a timely manner, Kelsey problem-solved and took care of Felix perfectly. We’re glad to have her as part of our pup’s care team!”
“Carlie is FABULOUS! She had quality visits with my two dogs, and provided thorough, insightful honest feedback about how each was doing. One is an elder requiring heart meds. He showed some signs of stress on one of her visits which she described to a T. She had the good judgement to give him a pee and poo break but forego the walk with him. Next visit he was great. Based upon her feedback I felt completely confident that they were in the best possible hands. Carlie is a vet tech, and this added skill/ experience was obvious in how she handled things. She is a woman of kind and gentle temperament and great skill. I could not recommend her more highly. THANK YOU CARLIE!”
About: I’ve had 3 dogs in my life. A puddles to German Shepherd and husky. I’ve always had an natural instinct for animal since I can remember I work Monday to Friday from 8 till 430. I’m free afternoons and weekends. I can always make accommodations to meet the need required for the pet. I live in a half acre home which is fenced. I do have a female German shepherd who is very friendly. My daughters love dog so your pet will always feel as they are in their own home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in New Fairfield on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,418 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across New Fairfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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 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.
