This was our second time having Kaitlyn watch our dog, and we couldn’t be happier! She took him on lots of walks, sent tons of pictures and updates, and it was obvious he was having the best time. Our dog absolutely loves her, and it’s such a relief knowing he’s excited to see her when we leave. Kaitlyn is always on time, communicates really well, and makes the whole process so easy. We never have to worry because we know he’s in great hands. We’d recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable who genuinely cares about your pet, and we’ll definitely keep booking with her!

About: Hi! I'm a passionate animal lover with over 4 years of professional experience working at a pet daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I have specialized training in safe dog walking techniques and canine behavior, allowing me to confidently handle everything from energetic puppies to shy or reactive dogs. I'm also certified in Pet CPR, so your pet's safety and well-being are always my top priorities. Whether your furry friend needs a fun walk, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention while you're away, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I'm committed to providing reliable, compassionate, and personalized care that gives you complete peace of mind. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I currently work a full-time job from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, but I have a very flexible schedule and can easily take time off when needed for pet care. I'm also able to come home during my lunch break to provide potty breaks, walks, feedings, or check-ins, so your pet won't be left alone for long periods. I do my best to accommodate each family's needs and will always communicate my availability clearly. Whether it's daily visits, overnight stays, or last-minute requests, I'm committed to making sure your pet receives the attention, care, and love they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. With over four years of professional experience in a pet daycare and boarding facility, I've cared for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs. My specialized training in dog behavior and handling, combined with my Pet CPR certification, allows me to respond calmly and confidently in any situation. I always maintain a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment, whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care routines to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. During walks, I use safe handling techniques, stay alert to our surroundings, and prioritize your pet's well-being at all times. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, and I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and the highest level of care.

5 Stars for Nelson! Nelson is hands down the best pet sitter out there! I recently had the absolute pleasure of trusting Nelson to care for my pets while I was away, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very start, he showed deep concern and thoughtful attention—not just to tasks, but to the emotional and physical well-being of my pets. He kept me consistently updated with sweet photos and messages, took initiative by changing the cat litter without being asked, and played wholeheartedly with the dogs. He even took Missy on multiple walks—completely unprompted—simply because he cared. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. What really blew me away is how Missy, who doesn’t warm up easily to people (especially men), loved Nelson. That’s practically a miracle in itself—and speaks volumes about his gentle energy, patience, and kindness. Nelson gave me genuine peace of mind. His heart, intuition, and respect for my pets’ personalities make him incomparable. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond and truly gets animals, Nelson is the one. Missy already misses him—and honestly, so do I!

About: I’ve always had a pet at home, so caring for animals has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and even a frog, and I currently share my space with a friendly 3-year-old Yorkie and a curious little lizard. Every animal I’ve cared for has taught me something new about patience, communication, and love. As a college senior, I balance my studies with daily walks, feeding schedules, and playtime for my Yorkie. Managing school and pet care has helped me become extremely reliable, organized, and attentive to every detail, qualities I bring to every pet I watch. What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and my ability to make each pet feel comfortable and safe. Whether it’s a shy dog, an energetic puppy, or a pet with special routines, I take the time to understand their needs and make them feel at home while you’re away. Now that my soccer season is over, my schedule is much more flexible, even though I still work part-time at Petco. I have classes during the day, but I’m free after 3 p.m. on weekdays and completely open on weekends. I’m also off on Fridays, which gives me extra time for longer walks, drop-ins, or weekend stays. Even with a busy schedule, I make pet care a top priority. Balancing school, work, and caring for my own Yorkie has taught me how to stay organized and dependable. You can always count on me to be punctual, communicative, and attentive to your pet’s needs. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I live in an apartment, but I make sure my 3-year-old Yorkie, Zeus, stays active and happy, he gets walked 2-3 times a day and we go to the dog park as often as possible. That means visiting pets can expect plenty of outdoor time, walks, and safe play under my supervision. When caring for pets in my home, I keep the space clean, calm, and pet-friendly. Zeus is social and gentle with other dogs, which helps create a relaxed, welcoming environment. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect as my own. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, make sure doors and gates are secure, and send regular updates with photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is safe, loved, and cared for.

Claudia did a great job dog/house sitting for us. She took the time to give us updates and photos while we were away which we really appreciated. Our dog was happy and healthy upon our return and she treated our home with respect. We will definitely rebook.

About: Hello! I’m a long time pet lover and house sitter (of my own place) I have interacted with many pets of my friends and worked at animal shelters. My experience with pets starts in high school when I volunteered at the local animal shelter cleaning out kennels, grooming and playing with cats and dogs. I then graduated to being a pet auntie for my friends animals and then pet sitting for various clients. I love pets, they are adorable and I can’t wait until I can have my own! Until then, I guess I’ll just pet sit…. I work from home on most days, so my schedule is flexible enough to allow me to look after pets such as spending quality time, potty breaks, exercising via walks and playing with cat toys. When I care for pets in their home, I take care to read all of the instructions and look after the home. This can include administering medications, accommodating different diets and walking styles (such as the slow walkers, the sniffers, the neighborhood watchers). I make sure to leave the home the way I found it because that is what I would like if I was the pet parent.

Jasmine stayed with our 2 dogs while we were on vacation for 4 nights! Our dogs are picky about who they like and they warmed up to her super quick during the first meet and greet. She took great care of them and the house as well. We got updates each day and she responded quickly when we reached out to her!

Monika house-sat for our Husky, Pitbull and our cat for 17 nights while we were overseas, and she was outstanding. Daily photo updates without us asking, consistent cleaning and feeding schedules, and all animals were calm and healthy when we got home — which says everything after two-plus weeks. Zero worries the entire trip, and for an international trip that peace of mind is worth more than the booking fee. We'll rebook her without hesitation.

I had a great experience with Gaby (Shannon)! This was my first time using Rover and having a house sitter for Belford, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. She made the whole process easy and reassuring. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. On top of that, Gaby went above and beyond by washing the bed sheets—even though it wasn’t required—which was such a thoughtful touch. My home was left in great condition, making coming back even better. I’d absolutely book with Gaby again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive pet sitter!

About: Your fur babies will feel at here. I have many years of experience with working with small pets from after birth until the stages of adulthood. I work mostly nights. So I am available to interact with your pets throughout the day. I do have a helper in my home (my mom). Who helps to take care of the pets with me. I take the pets for walks and allow them to free play throughout the day. I have a room set up for the pet boarding. The pets are allowed to roam in my home.

About: Growing up in the country, I cared for pets and farm animals. My experience and love for all creatures began there! Interacting with them has always been the highlight of my day. From cats, dogs, small animals, aquatic life and reptiles, to horses, dairy goats, birds, pigs and chickens, I have you covered! I've owned most, and cared for the rest. No matter what, I keep critters close! As a child was rarely seen without an animal or flock in tow. I raised pigs, chickens, dove, rabbits. As well as trained dogs and horses. Later on In Edna, I was a ranch hand on a small dairy farm. Now living in the city, I care mostly for cats and dogs, but I still love them all! I wouldn't imagine my life any other way! I have a very open and movable schedule. I can pretty much work with anything. The safety and care of your pup is always at the top of my list. I have a fenced yard with a large shaded area. Indoor and crate training is also great. I will make sure they are comfortable and safe.

Lanette took wonderful care of my two pups! She was very accommodating- One of our dogs is very protective of me and doesn't get along with new people for a while, but Lanette did come over a few times before the stay to help get him more comfortable with her. During the stay our protective little pup came out of his shell, fell in love, and wouldn't leave her alone! She was very patient with him and that was exactly what he needed! We got lots of pictures and videos, which was very comforting for my boyfriend and I. We highly recommend Lanette!

Jasmin has watched our dogs before and she always does such a great job. One of our dogs is on a raw diet with probiotics galore and she does great with all the instructions. Such a lifesaver to have her stay in our house as our senior dog has never stayed anywhere else. We are blessed to have found her as our go-to gal! She gets our mail and keeps our plants alive which is just an added bonus! Thank you!

About: Since I was a little girl I been around dogs. My brothers dad had a Rottweiler so growing up Tyson was always around us. As I got older either friends or family members had pets. Weather it was cats, guinea pigs, hamsters or fishes you name it. I love being around animals it’s so therapeutic and joyful to me. I am available for dog walking Monday-Friday hours btw 8am-8pm. Pet sitting at least a week in advance sometimes last minute is ok with me. I make sure they are fed have they water are taken out for the day twice maybe even three times of the day. If it’s nice out we can go to the park play run around hey active. If we are indoor I can still play and interact with your pet to make sure they are happy.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fairchilds

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 1,723 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fairchilds. 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 Fairchilds 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 Fairchilds 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 Fairchilds 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.

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

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
