“Izzy was a complete delight to work with! I booked her to house sit and care for our 3 dogs for a long weekend and she was extremely reliable, professional, and responsible. She went above and beyond her duty to care for our dogs and we returned to 3 happy pups and an immaculate house! We will certainly be requesting her services again and again!”
“I was out of town for 10 days I believe she did a great job with my dog except I came home my brand new coach bag was chewed up by the dog my dog cage was messed up the hinges are bent and twisted my furniture was scratched she put my plant outside and fried it 😢 I am not sure why she put my plant there its a house plant. I was very clear that the puppy should be caged and watched if not bc she is a chewer. I came back disappointed and now not only I have to replace a brand new bag and the dog cage and my planr. Im not sure what to say i don't understand happened she didnt let me know i just got home to discover it. I dont know what to do about the damaged stuff. She wasn't terrible but with these things I think id look for someone else.”
“Nichole is the best Rover out there! She is exceptionally kind and responsible. She went above and beyond caring for our dogs and our home while we were away. We received many updates and cute pictures - the love she showed our dogs was absolutely incredible and made us feel reassured they were in great hands. Our family will 100% be using Nichole’s services again. Thank you so very much, Nichole, for your care and generosity! Kiwi and CeCe are already missing you!”
“Cora was an excellent sitter that got Ozzy and Dee out for many walks. They loved her and she was attentive and an extremely good communicator which put our minds at ease. Definitely will look to book again and highly recommend to all pet owners!”
“Ashley was wonderful and I will definitely request her next time. She was willing to be very flexible with the hours since which was very helpful to me for this sitting due to a family situation. She seemed to really care about my senior dog and didn't want to leave her alone at all, which really put my mind at ease because my old gal keeps falling and is unable to get up on her own sometimes and it breaks my heart to think she may be home alone struggling. She sent photos and updates often which gave me peace of mind while I was away.”
“Connie came and stayed with our pup over the July 4th weekend. She was prompt and very responsive throughout the stay. She also periodically sent us pictures of our pup, which we loved. I would highly recommend Connie and plan to use her again in the future!!”
“Natalie and Edward were able to accommodate a day of (holiday at that) request for in home dog sitting of my two rambunctious dogs. Edward was timely, communicative, and playful with the dogs. I’d feel comfortable leaving my dogs with them again and would recommend!”

“Julianne became our fur babies' best friend from the moment she arrived. She took great care to maintain both Harley's and Blue's daily routines. Her regular updates throughout our trip brought us comfort while we were away. We really appreciated how attentive she was with both our dog and cat, and we would highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs.”
“Nya was terrific. Would 10 out of 10 recommend Nya and will be using Nya to watch our dog again. Nya took our dog for runs around the neighborhood, provided timely updates and made sure our dog was safe and happy the entire time.”
About: I love pets! I have experience house/dog sitting for clients that have taken vacations of up to 15 days. While house sitting, I can also bring in mail and water plants. In the past, I have been able to watch up to 2 dogs at a time. I love the exercise that comes from walking dogs, and I welcome dogs that have both high and low energy levels. When given specific instructions about caring for someone's dog, I always follow them, never letting my previous experience and "what I usually do" come before meeting the expectations of my clients. I have lived with at least one dog as a pet for 18 years of my life. Let me take care of your dog and be an extension of your love towards them when you cannot be there. I have graduate school classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, but I am free for pet care outside of those hours. I am flexible to work around your schedule. I’ve house sat and taken care of cats and dogs while I’ve lived in the house. I’ve also stopped by houses periodically to walk dogs and feed them. I’m open to both methods.
“Justin did a wonderful job caring for Queen and Isaiah! He sent daily updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. The dogs looked happy, relaxed, and completely comfortable snuggling with him—their favorite activity. We returned home to two happy pets and would gladly book Justin again. Highly recommend!”

“Lauren was Amazing! She loved and cared for Biscuit as if she was her own. She kept Biscuit on her usual schedule with exercise, feeding, potty breaks, and daily play time with our neighbor’s pup. She moved Biscuit’s bed in to the guest room with her so Biscuit could sleep right next to her; which she did each night, and even with a snuggly blanket and toys. Lauren sent up cute pictures each day of Biscuit chilling and/or playing. Our neighbor said that Biscuit hung tight to Lauren’s side when they would stop over to play. I know they formed a special bond! We will be asking Lauren back whenever we go away, as we feel confident in her care taking of our fur baby! Lauren cleaned the house, mopped the floor, did all dishes, and changed and washed bedding, blankets, and all towels…including dog towels (rained a lot). We were able to thoroughly enjoy our week long vacation knowing that Biscuit was being very well cared for. Also, Lauren left a summary note for us to come home to. And a very kind special note card as well! Many Thanks to Lauren!!! Sincerely, Tammy and Toney”
“Claudia and Omar were just great. They stayed with my dog for 5 days and I was was concerned at first that since my dog didn't really know them it might make her anxious. Not at all. She seemed like she barely noticed I was gone when I returned:(. My house was in the same shape as when I left so hard to know they were even there. Highly recommend them and will use them again when the occasion arises.”
About: My name is Tiana Palmer. Born & raised in Baltimore, MD by way of Dallas, TX. I travel back and forth from both areas for work and open to welcoming new clients as the fall/winter season is approaching. I have always had a passion for taking care of animals, especially canines. I have plenty of clients who can vouch that at all times their dog, cat, even a turtle can be trusted in my hands.

“Eric did a great job watching our dogs and our house. He kept us updated on the the dogs with plenty of pictures and in general went the extra mile with the dogs. I am sure they look forward to the next time he dog sits.”
About: As a teacher, I am organized, dependable, and attentive to details. I have experience caring for cats and walking dogs, and I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets are safe and well cared for while they're away. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, providing updates, and maintaining a pet's normal routine. As a teacher, I am used to maintaining a consistent schedule and following routines. During the summer, I have increased flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. During the school year, I am available before and after work, evenings, weekends, and for overnight house-sitting arrangements.

About: For my 6th birthday my dad gave me a Black English Cocker Spaniel, I named Jordan after Michael Jordan. My dog quickly became the heart of my family and the reason why I love dogs now. Myself and my family cared for Jordan until he passed away a few days after my 18th birthday. Since his passing I have not had any animal in my life and I really miss having a dog, especially now. I am so very excited to be able to spend time with some loving dogs. I love to give lots of love, attention, and scratches under the chin or neck to a furry friend. Whether it was spending time with friend’s or family’s pets or stopping in on some pet sits with friends, I have quickly learned that being around a dog really makes me happy, uplifts my spirits, and is a form of selfceare for me. I seek to meet the needs and wants of dogs and assure that we are both happy during the time we spend together. When I am not going into the office for work 2 times a week, I spend most of my time in my apartment. During my days I have time to give scratches, cuddles, food and go on walks while doing some work and at night I have time to give some bedtime cuddles, quick potty breaks, late night treats before bed. I live in a ground floor apartment that is pet friendly in a quiet safe family neighborhood. I am dependable, caring, loving, affectionate, attentive, and love to spend my days and nights with dogs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairland
Isabelle was wonderful staying with our pups!! She took them for extra walks and brought in our trash and packages, kept the whole house clean, sent a ton of pictures and was in constant communication. 10/10 want to use her again the next time we go out of town.
Nichole is absolutely amazing! My dog Lilo, is very skittish and is very slow to warm up and trust people but she warmed up so quickly to Nichole and even allowed her to take her out on a walk which is a win bc it can be difficult to get Lilo to go with someone she doesn’t know. You could tell that she definitely knows dogs really well and how to interact with them which is super important to us because Lilo is a rescue dog. Nichole was also super communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout the stay and is very warm and nice! We’ve already booked her again to watch our pup during our next trip. Thanks so much again Nichole.
Steven did an awesome job with our very elderly pup while we were out of the country for over a week. He followed his food, walk, and medication routines, and gave daily updates with pictures. We came home to a pup who had been well-cared for. Thanks so much Steven!
My dog loved Alexis, he just stared at the front door when she left. Guess he didn’t miss us as such as I missed him. He had lots of walk and MANY treats. From all the pics he looked very chill. Can’t say enough good things about Alexis and the care she gave my dog.
Marina was incredible! Our regular sitter wasn't available and we managed to catch her on some available days. Not only did she handle our very high energy dog very well, but she even washed and replaced the bedding she used - definitely goes above and beyond!
Zoe was fantastic! I’m always worried about Prince when I leave, and have not had the best experience with overnight Rovers staying at my house ie keeping it clean etc. and Zoe was nothing short of a dream. She kept me updated, sent me so many pictures of Prince, was patient with him because he can be super energetic and let me know if he accidentally ate anything. I came back and my house was just how I left it. Hopefully she is available for my week long trip at the end of July because I will be booking again!
Elizabeth has performed housesitting on several occasions for our two Golden Retrievers. We make sure that she is available when we schedule vacations that require onsite care for our fur babies. She provides frequent updates including pictures. We trust her to make the appropriate decisions regarding household activities.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Fairland is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $75 per night. 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 11,186 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fairland. 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 Fairland 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 Fairland 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 Fairland 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.
