“Collette did a great job taking care of our two girls. We got multiple daily photos and small updates on how everyone was doing. They also made the girls comfortable and made them felt like we never left. Collette also made sure our house was clean and tidy before we returned. Highly recommend!”
“Lena was great! She sent updates with many pictures of Bosun and Ferry carrying on happily without us! She messaged us with questions as well, which we appreciated because it showed she cared about making sure things carried on as they would if we were home. We are booking her help again!”
“Noah’s the best! He took great care of our pup and sent regular check ins and photos while we were away. He always leaves our home clean and we never worry while we’re enjoying our travels! Thanks so much Noah!”
“My home and animals were clearly very loved and well cared for. Steven updated regularly with pictures and stories about walks. Left everything clean - animals are happy and healthy - so I’m happy!! Would trust Steven again. Thank you! ? Pix, Ed, Momo, & Thor!”
About: We have always had a family dog, starting with a small dog, rescuing a large dog, and then most recently adopting a puppy. This has provided me with excellent and well rounded pet care skills from training a puppy to elderly care. Although I have not owned a cat, I have taken care of many and absolutely love them. Currently, pet care is the primary goal so I can work my schedule around what clients need. On a more routine day I’d likely be able to check on the pet 2-4 times then the hours of 8-5 then could spend the evening with the animal. I can follow any care routine left by the pet parents! In my own home I would crate dogs for safety at night, but keep them free in my apartment while I’m home. I have plenty of green space in my neighborhood for extensive walks and places to play. I do not have any other pets, so your baby would be my full priority! I also enjoy house sitting, and would be sure to not only tend to your pet but your home. I always leave the place cleaner than I found it, and I have my own transportation so it’s okay if you live further out.
About: I have always loved animals and have had pets throughout my life. I have cared for my own dogs, as well as pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors. I had a Basset Hound who was part of my family for 10 years, and I also have a Golden Retriever who has been with my family since she was a puppy. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am a caring, responsible, and patient person who genuinely enjoys being around animals. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable while their family is away. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including puppies and larger dogs, and I am also happy to care for cats. I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same love and attention I would give my own. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medication if needed, and any other specific care. I will also keep you updated during my visits or stay so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I’m an animal care professional with a genuine love for pets and plenty of hands-on experience caring for animals. Through my work as a zookeeper, I’ve developed strong skills in understanding animal behavior, providing enrichment, following individual care routines, and making sure every animal feels safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love while you’re away! I am able to help during the days/evenings Sundays to Tuesdays and any other day after 5pm for taking out on walks, hanging out, administering any specific medical care, or anything you may need!

I will make sure to always properly follow instructions on how you would like your animal cared for, and can also provide expertise from personal experience in animal care if you need assistance.
“We highly recommend Riley. Our little Calli Has some anxiety issues, but she seemed to relax and accept Riley easily. She was in excellent spirits when we returned home, and was well cared for. Riley’s knowledge of pets and her love of them is obvious.”
About: I've been pet sitting since I was a little kid and grew up with dogs and cats, and since I work from home full-time, I have a flexible schedule. I love getting outside for walks and tend to walk 10k steps daily, so if you have an active dog, I’m your girl! I don’t currently have pets of my own, so I love getting to spend quality time with yours! My ultimate goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home from 9am - 5pm, so I’ll be very available during the week. I have set evening plans on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but I have no standing commitments all other days of the week. I will follow whatever protocol you have for your pets. Whether that’s a specific routine, individual needs, and/or keeping you up to date with pics / messages. I want you to feel like your furry friends are in good hands!
“Vanessa took great care of our four pets! She stuck exactly to their usual schedule, even though that meant waking up very early every morning to feed them breakfast. She was communicative and provided regular updates. Vanessa took good care of the house too, leaving it as tidy as she found it. Would definitely book with her again!”

We knew that we had left them in great hands. When we came home, all of our pets seemed so happy, loved, and well taken care of. We can’t thank him enough and would recommend him to anyone! We will definitely be using his services again in the future.”

“Kaity was such a great companion for Kiki and Lenny. She was responsive to messages, came for a meet and greet and the arranged time, and took great care of our dogs. We will definitely book her the next time we are out of town!!”
“Kim did an outstanding job dog sitting our two pups in our home. We have a young, somewhat quirky, mix and a senior daschund, and she quickly adapted to both their needs. When our mix seemed a little stressed and didn't want to play, Kim did training sessions with her and she loved it. She played with our senior dog and even hand fed her when she needed coaxing to eat. Kim provided detailed updates several times a day with lots of pictures. She even went the extra step of getting our mail and tidying up the dogs' things. We will definitely book her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,543 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Doggetts Fork. 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 Doggetts Fork 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 Doggetts Fork 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 Doggetts Fork 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.
