“Krista went above and beyond for our doggos during a 6 night booking. She was communicative, kind and completely loved on our babies giving us peace of mind while we were away. She also left the home as arrived and even laundered the bedding. She’s very passionate about animals and her role in caring for them. We LOVE Krista and she will be our go to Rover gal if possible.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Nick did a great job taking care of our dogs on short notice after our other dog sitter moved out of town. We will certainly use Nick again the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“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.”
About: I have always had pets growing up, so I learned at a young age how to care for dogs, cats, fish, and Guinea pigs. I have my own pet currently! I have a cat and her name is Willow. I take care of my cat every day, I check her food and water bowls twice a day and make time to play with her to give her a workout. I do have a cat, so if I end up taking car of your dog for the day I will most likely avoid bringing them to my home unless you tell me that they get along well with cats. I can take them for walks and to the park or for rides if they enjoy that too!
“I was at ease since the meet and greet! She is extremely communicative and makes sure to ask questions if she needs clarification. My dogs have special needs, including reactivity, medication, and a crate and rotate system, and she handled it all very well. I came home to a clean home and happy dogs!”
“We have used Cacy the last couple times for our three crazy dogs and she has been so wonderful! It is usually very last minute and she has been extremely accommodating and we have a special needs dog that she has taken very good care of. We couldn’t recommend her enough for your animals!”
About: I have both small animal and large animal experience. I love pets of any kind! I am currently a veterinary student looking to fill my afternoons with walks! I am currently a full time veterinary student so I am looking for afternoon walks after 3 pm and anytime on most weekends. I will absolutely work with your schedule! I currently live in an apartment so I am unable to board pets. I would love to take care of your pets in an environment that they are most comfortable and take them on long walks!
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of countless roommates dogs, before getting my own a couple years ago. Before getting my own I did lots of research on training so she could have a happy, healthy, and safe life. I am committed to a dog’s safety and happiness. I am big on positive reinforcement which is how I’ve trained Buttercup. I’ve worked with multiple dogs on leash training, off leash training (minimal), potty training, and other general commands (sit, stay, come, heel, etc.). I have a full-time job and love hanging out with all the doggos in my free time. A couple of my workdays are fairly long, so I am more available later in the week. Pups (6months+) and dogs are allowed everywhere in my house except my personal bed. It is a modest home, with a fenced back yard (dog castle included). My dog, Buttercup, loves other dogs and is eager to play and be friends when they are. She has had interactions with both younger pups as well as much older doggos (up to 11 years old) and all interactions have gone well. While she’s on the medium-large end (70-75lbs) some of her best doggo friends range from significantly smaller (7-12 lbs) to much larger (100+lbs). She interacts well with different sizes.
“Emma has by far been the best rover we have used since living here and would highly recommend her for your pets! She took great care of our two dogs who don’t like to make anything easy. We will definitely be using her again!”
About: The go-to friend if you need to go out of town to come in and check on your pets! Very flexible with house sittings and locations serviced. I do work full time Sunday - Thursday but I can use my lunch break to stop in! :) I work full time but I do have an hour lunch I can use to give your pet a break during the weekdays, free on weekends! (Fri/Sat) Pets are treated with care and respect. I understand they are the "boss" of the house while the owner is away and I will make sure they continue to follow a routine!
About: I will work your pets mind and body offering the all around best possible care. I love training and will uphold consistent training while they are in my care. I have full time availability. I am open to on going long term set schedules but I’m flexible and am willing to work with you on whatever your needs are. I have a nice fenced yard and I will keep your pet well cared for in my home or in your home. I am very dedicated to offering the best possible care for your needs.
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience having Kali stay with our dogs over the 4th of July weekend! She came by the house before our trip to meet our dogs, learn their routine, and get familiar with our home. Throughout the weekend she was an excellent communicator, sending regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. When we got home, the house was spotless, our dogs were happy and relaxed, and she even surprised us with the sweetest painted portraits of each pup. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be using her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog and house sitter!”
About: Me and my grandma spent a lot of time house sitting dogs together. I have experience bathing, feeding and providing basic care. I own two rescue puppies so I have experience in administering medicine and handling specific nutritional needs. I’m a pre-vet animal science student who is constantly learning new things about cats and dogs! I’m a full time student but I’m only taking 12 credit hours so I have plenty of time to visit between classes or stay overnight. I make sure the animal has all of their basic care needs all of the time but I also love playing with them, giving them attention and taking pictures to send to the owners!
The median cost per night for house sitting in Fairmont is $35
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairmont
Jade was the best sitter I’ve ever had! Easy to work with, flexible, and was very loving to my dogs. She sent plenty of updates and pictures which allowed me to enjoy my vacation knowing they were in the best of hands! I hope to rebook with her in the future.
Cacy was SO great! Very communicative and proactive in making sure to keep us updated about how the dogs were doing but also any issues that arose at the house while we were gone. We have older dogs, so I get nervous about leaving them when we go away, but I would absolutely feel comfortable using Cacy again.
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!
We were a little nervous, this being our first experience with Rover, but we got spoiled with Kailey! She immediately put us at ease with her authenticity, calm and friendly presence, and her knowledge of animal care and behavior. She was also patient with all our questions, our learning how to use Rover, and a schedule change. She went above and beyond, meeting our fearful dog without the other pets around, and won her over quickly! She also made good headway with our fearful kitty! She took excellent care of our home and all our pets' needs, and we came home to happy, stress-free fur-babies! We can't say enough good things about Kailey, and we would LOVE to have her pet-sit again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fairmont on Rover is $38.85 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 124 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
