“Julie is incredibly kind with Romina and treats her as if she were her own cat. She kept me updated with photos throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. She made sure Romina was well fed, spent time playing with her, and even slept beside her. It was clear that Romina was loved and cared for the entire time. I’m so grateful and would absolutely trust Julie with Romina again.”
“Maria is reliable, communicates clearly and often, and noted all the details we had left her to care for our pups. She handled them with care and learned each one’s nuances. The transition back home after our extended vacation was smooth and our pups were in step with their regular routine. We would highly recommend Maria to anyone!”
“Kendra was so lovely to work with - she was friendly, understanding, and communicative. She was great about checking in with regular updates, and she took excellent care of our dogs and our home while we were away. Would definitely love to work with her again!”
“Diana was fantastic and we would 100% book her again. Our two dogs took to her quickly at our initial meeting, which put me at great ease. She stayed in our home for 3 nights with our 11 month old puppy and our 14 year old dog. They both have completely different personalities and needs. Diana sent us videos and photos of the dogs, and little updates each day. The house was also well taken care of and looked as if no one had been here. We were able to enjoy our trip without worry and knew the dogs were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Kaylah is very responsive and dependable. She did a great job with my very nervous rescue dog, putting my dog right at ease. We’re looking forward to having her back!”
“Emalyn was fantastic. I felt I could trust her from the time she walked in the door and the pups took right to her. She did a fantastic job. It was the first vacation I had in years and although I missed my dogs horribly, I knew they were safe and sound. I will continue to use her as long as she wants to pupsit. Also, it just wasnt my dogs, she had the utmost respect for my house. I believe she took better care of everything than I left it for her. I am so grateful for her.”
“We were new to the area and needed a new sitter for our three cats when we were out of town. Kristin was amazing!!! It was so comforting to know that our cats were in such good hands. We received daily photos and updates and the cats seemed genuinely comfortable with her since the first visit. We’re already rebooking.”
“Kristi was amazing with our crew !! She knew we had just taken in our Gracie as a rescue pug and gave her all the extra love and snuggles that she needed to feel safe and loved ....she spent lots of extra time in our home to ensure they didn't feel our absence even working remotely at our place which was great for our pugs/cats. She kept us informed of daily events and sent lots of snuggle snaps which made us feel better. Kristi even left us homemade biscotti for our return home. I can say with full confidence that Kristi is motivated by love of animals and helping others...we will most certainly hire her back to our home for all our Rover needs :)”
“Nora went above and beyond what we expected from her. Not only did she immediately put our minds at ease in taking care of our 2 dogs but she also took care of other things at the house while we were gone like collecting the mail and watering our plants. We knew that our dogs were in good hands and didn't worry whatsoever the week that we were gone. All the pictures and videos she sent showed us that our dogs were being well taken care of and more importantly they looked SO happy!!! Would definitely recommend her to anyone and would book her again in a heartbeat! Thank you Nora once again!!!”
“We had an excellent experience with Yelitza as dog sitter and would happily book with her again. From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, sending frequent updates and lots of photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. What impressed us most was how quickly our dogs warmed up to her during the meet and greet. One of our dogs is extremely shy and nervous around new people, so seeing Richard immediately comfortable with our sitter was remarkable and spoke volumes about her calm, caring demeanor. She also went above and beyond throughout the stay. Not only did she take wonderful care of our dogs, but she cleaned up after them without being asked and even brought in packages that arrived while we were away. Those thoughtful extra touches were such a pleasant surprise. We returned home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and felt completely confident that they were in great hands. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter.”
“Macenzie was absolutely wonderful with our pup! She was super communicative, sent photos throughout the day & kept us informed with her coming & going though it was not requested. Left the house is wonderful shape as well! Highly recommend !”
“Quinn took wonderful care of our two German Shepherds, Pablo and Leo, while we were away for the day. She was attentive, patient, and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after. It was obvious they were in great hands, which gave us real peace of mind. She kept us updated throughout the day with messages and photos. When we got home, Pablo and Leo were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Our house was also spotless, and everything was exactly as we left it. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets and home. We’ll definitely be booking her again. Thank you!”
“Riley is great! He met with our Poppy girl and even with her being such a leash reactive dog and very shy, he chose to sit her. I’m so grateful for him. She did great with him and he was giving us updates regularly. Thanks Riley!”
“Adrianna stayed at our home to watch our two dogs at our cat while we were out of town for several days. She kept us updated daily with messages and pet photos, giving us great sense of peace that our home and pets were looked after. Thank you again for your wonderful service, Adrianna!”
“Lee was great. We met twice prior to leaving town just so we were on the same page. We have a senior pup with some health issues which always concerns us when we go away, but Lee made us feel very comfortable while we were out of town. Our pup and kitties were well taken care of and we appreciate the care she gave all of them. Also, our house was nice and tidy when we returned which we really appreciated as well. Overall, a very good experience working with Lee. Just great. Thank you!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fairmount on Rover is $47.18 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 350 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fairmount. 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 Fairmount 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 Fairmount 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 Fairmount 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 Fairmount. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
