“Steve was great with Miss Hazel. He was timely and attentive to her. Followed our instructions well and gave us lots of updates. In fact when we came home, she expected him to be there. When she didn’t see him, she went looking for him all over the house! We were only gone 2 days and already she loved him! Thanks for the peace of mind while we were away from our girl!”

About: Hello I am Julieanna. I have been working with dogs for the past 8 years and I have been a dog trainer/sitter for the past few years and now I’ve worked at a veterinary hospital for the past 2 years. I know how hard it can be to balance taking care of your pet(s) and work/life. I have a dog and a cat myself and I would want someone I can trust taking care of them. I hope to be the person you ask for help. I’m currently working full time so my schedule isn’t completely free but I am fairly flexible with my schedule. I am off on Fridays and have some availability on Saturdays depending on my work schedule. I will ask the client if there are any rules in their homes for their pet. I will listen to directions and make sure the pet is safe and happy.

About: Having grown up in a household bustling with three dogs and three cats, I've been immersed in pet care from a very young age! My hands on experience ranges from raising a German Shepherd to managing the boundless energy of a Husky and the loyal companionship of a Lab—each breed presenting its unique challenges. As a college student, I continue this passion with my beloved dog, Dewey, who is a constant companion. My specialties include embracing long walks (hiking is a favorite), potty training, and dedicating quality time to ensure pets are happy and healthy. As a recent college student with a vast amount of flexibility, I find more time to dedicate to my passion for pet care. Though I work part-time nannying , my free moments are often spent on long walks with my dog, Dewey, or those of my friends. These outings range from early morning walks to peaceful nighttime walks, seamlessly integrating into my daily routine. In my home, I create a welcoming environment for pets by ensuring they have a safe, comfortable space for their little vacation! I prioritize routine, from feeding and exercise to play and rest in my acred fenced backyard, adapting to the individual needs of each pet. When caring for pets in a client's home, I maintain their familiar routines to minimize stress. Since each pet is different, I have to adapt to what they are used to at home to make them comfortable. I also keep thorough communication with owners, providing updates and seeking guidance to tailor my approach according to the pet’s habits and preferences. Whether in my home or theirs, I am committed to providing a nurturing and attentive care environment that meets each pets unique personality!

About: As someone who knows that your pet is a part of your family, you can trust that I will do my absolute best to take care of them. I have been a pet sitter for 4 years, providing exceptional care to the pets of neighbors, family, friends and clients. I have experience caring for pets with special needs, dietary restrictions, and medication. I’m currently working full time, but I’m available for overnights with any pet! I’m okay with traveling the distance to your house to watch your pet as well as house sit if needed! I understand that animals feel most comfortable around familiar surroundings, and wouldn’t want to displace them. I’m very flexible, just let me know when I’d be needed. The environment will be your own home. Your pet will not feel displaced, and will remain comfortable in his or her own bed. I understand that familiarity is key when owners are away.

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.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - New Fairfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in New Fairfield is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 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. 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 3,009 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across New Fairfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 New 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!

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 .

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.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in New Fairfield with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Fairfield. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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 , 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.
