“Elton had a fantastic time! 🖤 She kept me updated throughout the entire booking and sent pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Elton was well cared for, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I really appreciated her communication, kindness, and how attentive she was to his needs. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Brenda was great with my animals and I was able to enjoy my time away knowing they were being well cared for. I would highly recommend her. I look forward to her caring for my pets in my home in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of my friends and family’s cats and dogs. I do not have any of my own but love being an auntie to all of my furry friends! I work from home at a very chill remote job so as long as you have wifi in your home, I will love to take care of your pets! I have alarms for taking pets out to use the bathroom breaks, walks, and feeding time. I also love to chill and play with dogs and cats when needed!
“Annie is always great with our senior dog Samson! Happy to be a repeat client of Annie's and to be able to relax while we're traveling with Annie taking such great care of our senior dog and house. Thanks again!”
“Jessica is the BEST! It was the first time having somebody take care of our dog, and my wife and I were really nervous at first, but after meeting Jessica, we knew our dog was in great hands. She texted us with updates, pictures, and communicated with us the entire time. We will definitely have Jessica watch our dog in the future. Thank you, Jessica!”
“Jennifer was great! She is very easy going, reliable and you could tell she has experience with animals. She is very nice and friendly! Our furbabies seemed to like her and trust her, which is very important to us. We will definitely be booking with her in the future.”
“Kristine was absolutely incredible with our large dogs. They loved every minute with her and she was so incredibly patient and loving towards them. I will feel so incredibly safe leaving town the next time we get to book her.”
“Kyle and his fiancé did a wonderful job watching our pups in our home for a weekend. They were present, communicative, and left our home in great shape. Lots of cute pics and the pups seemed really happy!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and recently raised and trained my own dog from puppyhood, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I work from home, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and of course lots of cuddles! I genuinely love being around dogs and spending time outdoors, whether that’s going for a walk, a hike, or just hanging out together. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. ☺️ I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can give your pet lots of attention throughout the day. I’m very active and love to walk, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and outdoor time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick to their usual routines—like feeding times, walks, and play—and always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions to keep your pet happy and stress-free while you’re away.
About: I have 3 dogs, the oldest is 16, 7, 3 years old. They are furry family members that we love dearly!!! I can pet sit any age and love to cuddle and also taking them for walks. I have no problem picking up after them. I’m a Trusted Pet Sitter Who Treats Your Dog Like My Own! ❤️ I currently work from home so I can work from anywhere to keep your pups company while you work. Weekends and nights can be discussed. I can pet sit from your home to not make big changes to your best friend that way they can stay in their own environment, caring for them following your specific instructions.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog and cat received! From the start, Yeilin was reliable, communicative, professional, and clearly loves animals. Our dog was happy, well-exercised, and relaxed when we came home, and our cat, who can be quite difficult was calm and content. Yeilin provided great communication throughout the entire experience, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s such a relief knowing our pets were treated like family. We highly recommend Yeilin's services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional pet sitter. Five stars all the way!”
“Melissa always takes great care of my pets, and is super reliable. I use her frequently over the past year, all my pets are so happy to spend time with her when I am away”
About: I have always enjoyed caring for other’s pets. Although I don’t have any of my own I never pass up the chance to care for a family member or friend’s pet. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, big, and small dogs, cats, and even birds! I truly enjoy bonding and creating a comfortable space for whoever’s pet I watch. I am currently working part time and go to school part time so I have the capacity to take care of your pet’s needs. I am available most of the week except Thursday and Saturday after 2pm. I have a fenced yard and no pets so all my focus will be on your fur baby. I am patient and loving and willing to help with any anxiety issues the pet may have.
“Yessica is absolutely amazing with our dogs. She was incredibly kind, reliable and made us feel completely at ease leaving them with her. She kept us updated, took great care of everything and you can tell she genuinely loves animals. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will 100% be booking her again. Highly recommend Yessica to anyone looking for someone they can genuinely trust with their pets and home!”
About: I'm currently working from home part time and working in a restaurant part time, so I’m able to give your pup plenty of attention and take them out as often as needed when at home. I sometimes will need to be gone for around 6-7 hours a few days out of the week for my other job so I ask that your pup is okay on their own occasionally. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated like a member of the family, with lots of love, care, and playtime. I live in a one-bedroom apartment that’s cozy and safe for dogs. If your dog is crate-trained, I’m more than happy to set up their crate in the living room to ensure they feel comfortable and secure during their stay. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I'm committed to providing the same level of care and attention I would give to my own pets. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I’m here to make sure your pup feels right at home. I am working from home during the day so I have plenty of time to take your pup out whenever needed! Let me know their schedule. We will go out on walks, we can go to the park if you’re okay with it, I will feed them according to their normal schedule, and of course plenty of cuddles.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fairmont
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,628 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fairmont. 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 Fairmont 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 Fairmont 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 Fairmont 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 Fairmont. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
