“This was my first time using an app to find someone to watch my furbaby and Dana definitely made me feel comfortable and relieved. We lucked out finding her! She’s got a calm demeanor which matched perfectly for my old girl. She sent me an update midday with a couple pictures that eased my anxiety. She was willing to work with me on the schedule when things changed on my end. And like other reviewers said she even tidied up a bit, which was completely unexpected and very kind. The best part is my pup really seemed comfortable with her from the beginning. Definitely look forward to rebooking with her in the future!”
“I currently have an energetic 3.5 month old yellow lab puppy. Sydney was easy to work with and was good with socializing my pup during the stay. I will definitely be utilizing Sydney in the future.”
“My first time using Rover I didn’t know what to expect having a stranger stay in our home with our kitty. Shelby was so friendly and sweet and sent updates, our kitty loved her! I will definitely rebook with Shelby again! Can’t say thank you enough for such an awesome job. ❤️🐱”
“Dominique was great! She responded quickly to my last minute request and took great care of my pup. This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with how it turned out.”
“Charish watched my little guy again while I traveled for my job. My pup was calm and happy when I got home and house was spotless! She even took care of some house stuff when weather was coming in. Thank you Charish for being the most awesome pet/house sitter!!”
“First time using Rover, but this was a wonderful experience for our senior girls. Kaitlynn helped us to have a stress free weekend by giving our girls lots of love and attention. She sent pictures too. We will be contacting her again. 🐶🐶”
“Laurie was fantastic! We have never had anyone but family watch our dogs so we were hesitant. We have 3 dogs- 2 are extremely active. Laurie came to meet them a few days before and we went through their routine. She arrived promptly on her scheduled day and sent pictures per request. The dogs were very happy! I highly recommend Laurie!”
“JaNiya is an angel! She came to save the day when I was all the way in California and a sitter bailed on me. She came in and loved on my puppy, helped put my house back in order and get him on track with his meds. She gave me very helpful updates to ease my worry and also gave some flvery helpful insights as a new dog mom. I will definitely be a repeat client.”
“Reagan was so wonderful! My dog can is nervous around strangers and is a senior. Reagan was so patient and kind and it made me feel so much more comfortable leaving my pup. Reagan is definitely someone you can count on and she will treat your animal like her own!”
“Just moved to the area and we were nervouc leaving the dogs for the weekend so soon after moving... But we were put to ease! Communicated very well and my pups loved her! On time, responsive, and reliable. Loved all the updates she sent through the day :)”
“Justin was wonderful with our sweet senior girl. He came over for the meet and greet and she loved him instantly. He was prompt and sent us pictures of their time together. We will definitely request Justin again as we travel over the summer months.”
“Nicole was so awesome willing to stay till very late hours, very easy to work with, I felt very comfortable with her in my home with my babies! i'll definitely reach out to nicole first when I need a dog sitter, you should too!”
About: I’ve cared for and raised dogs for most of my life. From crate and potty training puppies, to caring for my now senior pup of 14 years, Luna Bear. Time, consistency and positive reinforcement has always been key. So whatever your pup needs and is accustomed to is what they’ll get when hanging out with me as well as tons of love. 🤙 I’m currently a professional photographer that gets to pick a choose when and how I want to work. So I have plenty of free time to spend with your pup. My goal is to keep your pup (or pups) as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away. I believe this is done by keeping things consistent. If your pup goes on a walk at 7am every morning, no problem. Eats at a specific time, I’ve got it covered. Let me know their routine and needs and it will all be met.
“Very pleased with Ryan once again he took stellar care of my Furry Kids! He sent pictures of them letting me know they were comfortable with him! All around great Vibe from Ryan, Ryan checked in with me making sure my travels brought me back on time before he departed! 100% positive will continue using Ryan!”
“Hunter was absolutely amazing! He took great care of our two spoiled dogs and house while we were away. Our house was spotless and our pups were happy upon our return. He sent pictures and updates of our boys and was very respectful of our home. I would definitely recommend and use Huntter again in the future!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairmount
Maria was the BEST. We have had many dogsitters over the years, and she was the best sitter we have ever had. We were going out of the country and on very different timezones, so we were very hopeful she was going to be really communicative. She knocked our expectations out of the park. She sent so many pictures (and as an aside should be a professional pet photographer - the photos were fantastic!), frequent updates, walked our boy a LOT (he thrives on exercise, so we really appreciated this more than we can say), and even took him to her own home during a tornado warning, so he was not here alone. We could not have asked for better care and communication. As an added bonus, Maria kept our house in lovely shape - everything was clean and organized when we returned. She even washed, dried, and remade the bed so that we had clean sheets when we arrived late at night, all without ever being asked!! I cannot recommend Maria enough!! She is so kind, caring, compassionate and overall lovely. We feel SO lucky she was able to sit for us. You will adore her and so will your pets!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
<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 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
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.
