“We love Kassidey and will be using her again. She was so attentive to our babies and never left them unless absolutely necessary. Her communication was top-tier and we knew our babies were safe with her. Consider her first if you’re near Oxford!”
“This was the first time Tammy sat for us. She did a great job spoiling our girl Glady's! Tammy sent so many pictures and videos, we felt very comfortable and well informed. upon returning home, everything looked amazing! Clean and tidy, which was truly appreciated. We take Glady's with us on most trips, but when we can't, we have a trustworthy sitter. Thank you Tammy.”

“We loved Corinne! She was absolutely fantastic! She took amazing care of my pets and my home while I was away. She was extremely attentive, responsible, and clearly has a natural connection with animals — my dogs and cat adored her from the start. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. I came home to a spotless house and happy, relaxed pets. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and professional. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“I used Ashleigh for my first time using Rover, and I had THE BEST first experience! Traveling while having pets is tough. I'm such a nervous fur mom. Ashleigh made us feel at ease from the beginning to end! We recieved lots of pictures & videos, my kids & I were SO grateful for those!! We were able to relax on a 7 night trip knowing she was watching our pets in our home. Ashleigh went above and beyond. 100/10 Highly recommend !!!!”
“Noa was absolutely amazing!!! Her communication, fantastic!!!! Pictures of all my babies, memeable and cute!! My animals loved her even my shy senior cat came to hang out with her! My St. Bernard can be dog reactive and she handled her perfectly!”
“Jackson was fantastic! He did everything as I asked and followed my “rules”.. I received updates everyday. I never had to worry about my girls. When I got home, they both were very happy. I normally can tell if they have had a bad few days and they definitely did NOT with Jackson!”
“Sydnee was absolutely spectacular watching our 3 dogs! She was very attentive to all of them and made sure they got all the outside time and lovings they wanted! She sent updates, pictures and videos, which I absolutely loved. I highly recommend her and will definitely have her watch my dogs again.”

“Serenity was wonderful. So communicative and there for my animals around the clock. I had a friend drop out at the last minute and was unable to take care of our animals but serenity was ready to take care of them the second I reached out. She has done a great job of taking care of my dog pets needs and making me feel secure in her care. I would definitely recommend her and would love to use her services in the future!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Fairhaven
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fairhaven on Rover is $42 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 584 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fairhaven. 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 Fairhaven 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 Fairhaven 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 Fairhaven 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
