“Sydney was the best sitter we’ve ever had for milo. She sent us frequent updates and photos of our little guy and I felt complete peace of mind knowing Milo was so happy and safe with her.”
“Johnna did a fantastic job with my 2 dogs, kept me updated and sending proof of life photos…which I appreciated!! She showed such respect for my home as well. Would highly recommend her and for sure will be using her again in the future. 🙏”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Maddison was incredibly responsive and respectful of my home. She took such great care of my dog, and I could tell my pup was happy and well looked after. On top of that, she was super kind. Highly recommend!”
“Riley did amazing with Kilo! He kept me posted with pictures and followed his eating schedule. Riley was respectful of my phone and allowed Kilo plenty of pool time. Will definitely book with Riley again in the future!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alexandra was absolutely wonderful with our two doggies, Olivia and Ollivander! Olivia is still a puppy and definitely requires some extra attention, patience, and care, and Alexandra handled her beautifully. She was equally attentive and loving with Ollivander, making sure both of them felt comfortable, happy, and cared for while we were away. She followed all of their routines and instructions carefully, kept us updated, and gave us so much peace of mind knowing our babies were in such good hands. We came home to two happy, relaxed doggies, which says everything! We are so grateful to have found Alexandra and would absolutely trust her with Olivia and Ollivander again. She will definitely be our first choice whenever we need someone to care for them. Highly, highly recommend her! 🐾❤️”
“We hired Brandy for the first time to stay at our home with our 2 cats and 1 dog for 3 nights. She was fantastic! She came to the house the week before to meet my pets and go over the instructions. I am very particular about things and she was so nice and accommodating to all the details. She sent pictures and videos each day of our animals (who all loved her btw) so we loved seeing their happy faces. Brandy is a great communicator too so I felt we were always on the same page. My husband and i didn't worry AT ALL during our trip which was so nice! We will definitely rebook.”
“Mariah did a wonderful job with our senior dogs. She was attentive and followed all instructions. We got pictures showing how happy and well taken care of they were. We will definitely book Mariah again.”
“Niiyah took great care of our cats while we were out of town. We received lots of photos and updates and it was clear that she gave our pets and home a lot of care and attention. We highly recommend Niiyah!”

“Brooklyn was wonderful! She is so kind, compassionate, and truly loves dog sitting. She sent detailed updates with lots of photos daily, making us feel completely at ease while I was away.

“My first time using a pet sitter and service. Raina responded to my inquiry within minutes and set up a meet and greet for the following day. Raina accepted the in house sitting for 5 days. Raina sent at least two photos every day showing Ralphie being himself which put me at ease. When I returned, the house was clean and taken care of. I'd definitely rebook with Raina again.”

About: Welcome to Woof avenue My name is Beija and I am happy to meet the person reading this . I have had family pets so I'm very familiar on how to care for pets and I also took in a stray kitten and once I had owned a Siberian mixed husky around 5 years old. Let me assure you that your pets are in very good hands. I'll take care of your pet like it was my own pet with both love and care.

My schedule is focused on caring for your baby and that's the sole responsibility as a pet sitter I as a Pet Sitter will always document the day with your paw family member and will provide photos and videos just because if it were my baby that someone was watching I would wonder how the care takers were handling them
“Mike house and pet sat our three fur-babies for four nights: 1 senior miniature poodle, 1 senior cat, and one young labradoodle. When he came by for the meet-and-greet, he was very attentive to how we interact with our pets and asked lots of questions about their personalities and individual quirks. Our two senior pets had multiple eye drops and an oral medication, all which Mike administered like a pro! He was very communicative and sent us updates with photos regularly. Our house was in perfect condition upon our return. We highly recommend Mike and look forward to hiring him again for our next trip!”

Johnna is the best! By far one of the Best pet sitters I have had. She is someone you can trust to take care of your pets and your home. I completely trust her and know she will be there always. I Don’t have to worry if my pets or my home is being taken care of. My pets love her and I will Always reach out to her first before anyone else
We could not have asked for a better person to care for Remi and our home while we were away. Nancy truly went above and beyond in every way. She didn’t just take care of Remi—she made sure Remi had a great time! She took her on walks and to the dog park, played endless games of ball, prepared her special meals of chicken and quinoa, and even took her to the store to buy new balls. She also brought some unique balls from her own home because she thought Remi would enjoy them—which, of course, she did! Nancy kept us updated every day with texts, photos, and videos. Being away from Remi is never easy, but those updates gave us such peace of mind. We could see that Remi was happy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoying herself, and we never had to worry about whether she was being well cared for. Nancy stayed in our home every night and treated our home with the same care she gave Remi. We came home to a clean house, dog hair picked up, and she had even gathered the linens and put them in the laundry. None of that was expected—it was simply Nancy going the extra mile. Most importantly, we came away knowing we can completely trust Nancy with two things that mean a great deal to us: Remi and our home. We were so pleased with her that we have already booked her for our next trip. We highly recommend Nancy and feel very fortunate to have found her. Remi may be the happiest of all—she gets to have Nancy come back! 🐾❤️
Thank you Brandie for taking care of Bruce and all his boxer energy! He had a blast and it was very heartwarming to see Bruce being so happy in Brandie’s care. I appreciated all the photos and videos of Bruce while we were away for the day. Thank you so much for everything, Brandie!
Laura is amazing! She loves my pets as much as I do and leaves my home better than I left it! She is thoughtful and sends daily pictures. She also communicates when she has a question or concern and is always keeping me in the loop. I highly recommend Laura!
Danika is an excellent pet sitter in all respects. She was on time to our meet and greet and to our house when pet sitting started. She had great communication and gave daily updates with photos. She left our house clean. I’d add my voice to the others that highly recommend Danika!
Noelle was amazing! We would definitely have her back and recommend her highly. We have a more reactive small, rescue Velcro-dog, Bichon who is pretty cute and she immediately took to Noelle. My mom also noticed how calm our dog was when we came home which is great because she is anxious. Our home seemed cleaner than before we left! Thank you so much, Noelle!
Amanda has always provided excellent pet and house sitting for us! We are able to leave for a few days knowing that our ragdolls will be cared for and loved! House is always the same as we left it and truly appreciate that Amanda respects our home as if it was hers.
Brooklyn was amazing. We have never used Rover before due to someone we don’t know watching out pups, but she made the process so easy. She adjusted her schedule to be able to watch our two dogs and was so quick to respond with any questions or provide photos of our boys! She left the house in great condition and even did the laundry that was used during her stay which was so unexpected! I will definitely have Brooklyn back in the future when we need help with our dogs!
We had an amazing experience with Olesia! She was kind, patient, and incredibly understanding with our young puppy, Bubbles. From the very first meet-and-greet, she made us feel comfortable and confident that he would be in great hands. Bubbles is still a baby and can be quite energetic and mouthy, but she handled him with so much patience and care. It was clear that she genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and understands puppy behavior. She was attentive, gentle, and made the whole experience stress-free for us. We would absolutely trust her with Bubbles again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of our little guy! 🐶❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fair Oaks 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 2,733 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fair Oaks. 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 Fair Oaks 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 Fair Oaks 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 Fair Oaks 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.
