“Kailey took amazing care of my dog, cat, and home while I was away on vacation. She sent daily updates and photos that let me know everything was going well during her week long stay. I highly recommend her.”
“Love how much Brandy loves our dog Lucy!!! This is the second time we had Brandy watch over Lucy and again it was the best experience we had with someone watching Lucy while we were away.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every age size and breed since I was 20. I grew up around dogs and throughly enjoy and care for each and everyone of them like they are my own family! As they are yours and deserve to be treated with as much respect and care when you’re outside the home! I do have my own pup who is very friendly and loves to play we come as a pair who will love to play with your animals! I work full time and do pet sitting/ walking part time! I’m willing to do drop in visits or staying in home to help the dog/cat acclimate to you being gone! Staying in home I will play with the animal dog or cat and take them outside for potty breaks (dog) sand will clean the litter box daily (cat). I understand each animal has their on personality so I would prefer to meet the animal prior to sitting so that we may get used to each other! I’ve watched and cared for many pets in the manhattan junction city area for years and would love to give your pet the love and care needed when you’re away!
“Isabel was great! She stayed overnight with our two pups. Sent pictures and updates and the home (and bed) were left just as we left it. Would love to have her back again any time. Thank you!”
“Presley was incredibly communicative and professional throughout the entire booking process and was always quick to answer any questions we had. This was our first time using in-home care for Cooper, and she made us feel completely comfortable and confident leaving him in her care while we were away. She took such wonderful care of him, every photo update she sent had him literally smiling! It was clear he was happy, relaxed, and well loved the whole time. We will absolutely be re-booking with Presley and highly recommend her to all of our friends and family looking for someone to care for their fur babies!”
“Makayla took such great care of our pups and our house when we were out of town! She was always very responsive and sent pics throughout her time here. We will definitely use her again; our pups loved her!”
“We have a special needs pup that needs a lot of care, and she had no problem taking on the chaos! We did a meet and greet, she was so friendly! During the stay, she was so good about checking in as well as sending multiple photos, which I loved. If she wasn’t sure about something she asked, and she followed all of our directions perfectly! My pups loved her and we will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have had a dog within my household my entire life. Family and friends have asked me to watch their fur babies. I have provided drop in care and overnight care. I am a college student, so my schedule is very flexible to be able to give your fur babies all the love and attention they deserve/want! I can easily crate an animal when needed, I am always watching the clock to make sure I am on time for feedings and medicine. Walks are something I love to do if the animal permits. I am also comfortable transporting dogs, weather that be to a daycare or grooming appointment.
About: I grew up around dogs, cats, horses, and livestock and currently have three dogs, three cats, and a horse of my own. I’ve pet sat for families for several years, volunteered at Prairie Paws in Manhattan for three years, and worked at a dog boarding facility over the summer. I also have experience with puppies and senior dogs, including both of my own, so I’m comfortable with different ages, routines, and needs. Outside of classes, I have a flexible schedule and am available most days and evenings. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I’ll always treat yours with the same love and care I give my own! I am a junior in college this year at ksu and have plenty of free time during the day and night to come over and watch your animals! I have two classes sometimes three during the day but all of my days are pretty flexible. While being up here at KSU and not being able to see all of my fur babies I would love to come and see yours and provide all the care they need to them! I have two puppies, one old dog, three cats, and a horse back at home. I am very good with animals. I would love to come hangout with your fur babies while you are gone or busy at work! I have worked at four horse boarding facilities so I know what it is like to make sure the care is perfect for peoples animals. I enjoy taking care of animals and making them feel loved and safe, I would love to provide that for your pet.
About: I’ve had a dog my whole life and take great care of them. Also have dog/animal sat for many friends and family, always so fun! I am currently am a student at Kansas State, but most days my classes are over by 2 pm and I also have breaks before that. I am very good at following directions so I will follow those that you give me to a tee. I treat everyone’s house with respect and care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairmont
Isabel has taken care of our two dogs on 2 separate occasions now, and both times we have been so pleased! She is loving and affectionate with the pups, very conscientious about their health and wellbeing, communicating with us promptly if any questions or concerns arise. We also felt so comfortable having her stay overnight. She’s done one 7 day stay and one 2 day stay. She is trustworthy, reliable, and easy to work with.
Kali was amazing watching out dogs for 10 days. She followed all our instructions and wasn’t phased at all with our dogs routine. She gave us regular updates with pictures and was super responsive to messages. And when we got home she had left us paintings of each dog. Would highly recommend Kali for dog sitting.
ade did a wonderful job house sitting and taking care of Penny while we were away! She was very accommodating with our schedule, took Penny on walks, and made sure both she and our home were well cared for. It gave us such peace of mind knowing everything was in good hands. We would absolutely recommend Jade and would happily have her watch Penny again! Thanks Jade!
Bella was great! She stayed at the house over the weekend to watch my dog, George, and took great care of him. She was communicative throughout the stay and sent pictures and updates. Most importantly, George loved her! Would gladly book with her again and highly recommend her to others.
We have a special needs pup that needs a lot of care, and she had no problem taking on the chaos! We did a meet and greet, she was so friendly! During the stay, she was so good about checking in as well as sending multiple photos, which I loved. If she wasn’t sure about something she asked, and she followed all of our directions perfectly! My pups loved her and we will definitely be using her again!

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.
