“Sara is wonderful! Easy to communicate with, sent me plenty of pictures that showed not only that my baby was doing well, but that she was being her normal self and doing her normal routines. If your pet is your family you can trust Sara will treat them that way!”
“Another great stay with Lori! We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups, and her regular updates while we were away gave us peace of mind. It’s wonderful to have someone we feel comfortable trusting with our dogs and their individual needs. We’ll happily book with Lori again!”

At the moment; this is my Full-time job, so that gives me flexibility to work around your schedule and your needs.

“Thank full for Susan, who from the beginning has been a joy to communicate with, always responding warmly, promp, direct, and concise. Susan prioritized a meet n greet, at a time that worked for us, in our home. Susan's engagement with the dogs, follow up questions about their care routine, and how to appropriately care for my 18 year old senior dog, made me feel excited and confident in hiring her to care for our pups while not in town. Her first 4 day weekend with the dogs, we weren't able to go out of town due to vehicle issues, and still Susan stopped by mid day to visit with the dogs while we were taking care of the vehicle, which was such a help. I appreciate the photos she took of the pups, and all the love and care she pours in. Makes a loving dog owner's heart and mind be at ease, which is saying alot. Thank you Susan 🙏 The pups look forward to seeing you again soon.”
“Ash was so great with our dogs and cat! This was my first time using Rover for pet sitting so I was a little nervous about leaving them, but I quickly realized they were in great hands with Ash. She made sure to give them so much love and attention while we were away and I think they made a new best friend!”
“Abby did an amazing job! She is prompt with her responses and is an excellent communicator. She kept us updated with our dogs and our home and even helped troubleshoot our AC after a brief power outage. She was patient and understanding through it all! She took excellent care of our home and left it cleaner than we left it haha. I would highly recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Briana picked up my last minute job and she was a livesaver! She did a fantastic job, communicated well and my animals liked her. It's such a relief to have a responsible pet sitter that I know I can trust! I would definitely love to hire her again and will highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was 8 years old, ranging from Pitbulls to Doodles. I have experience with training puppies and older dogs, as well as caring for doggies when they’re sick. As a therapist with a flexible schedule, I can fit plenty of time to caring for your pets! I am available at most times during the week, and accommodate changes when needed! When staying at your house, I treat your home with care, keep the space clean, and respect all household rules! Pets will never be left unattended and I will be under consistent supervision, along with potty breaks, walks, and fun play time! For walks, I avoid high traffic areas and avoid pavement during hot weather. I have access to emergency vet contact information and reliable transportation.
About: My Personal Approach & Passion for Pets My genuine love for animals is what drives my pet care style. I am patient, trustworthy, and naturally observant, making it easy for me to connect with pets of all temperaments. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a task; it is about providing a warm, low-stress environment where your animals feel entirely safe, happy, and treated like family while you are away. What Sets Me Apart:I offer a highly adaptive environment for all pets and life stages, including dogs, cats, and puppies. I easily handle the high energy and training support needed for playful youngsters, as well as the gentle comfort, slow pace, and strict medication schedules required for senior companion animals. I customize my daily routine to mirror yours, ensuring your pet enjoys a seamless transition with plenty of interactive play, cozy naps, and affection. Pet care is the main focus of my daily routine because I work from home full-time. This flexibility allows me to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks every 2 to 3 hours, and interactive playtime throughout the day. My weekly schedule is highly consistent, meaning your dogs, cats, or puppies will enjoy a reliable routine with plenty of companionship and zero long periods spent alone. I create a safe, pet-proofed environment where your dogs, cats, or puppies are treated like family. They have full access to comfortable resting spots, fresh water, and supervised play. I follow your exact feeding schedules, crate routines, and potty windows to keep their days consistent and stress-free. In Your Home (Drop-Ins/Sitting): I respect your space while prioritizing your pet's comfort. During visits, I handle feeding, refreshing water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and administering any required medications. I make sure to include plenty of quality playtime or belly rubs, and I always send you photo updates so you know they are safe and happy.
About: Hi! I’m Jaclyn, (please message for most accurate prices and discounts) and I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to care for your pets while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, reptiles, and other pets with clear care instructions. I’m happy to work with shy, anxious, energetic, or special-needs pets and will always discuss any behavioral concerns before boarding. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and keep you updated while they’re in my care. Please message me with any questions or special requests. I’d love to meet you and your pets! 🐾 I work three days a week, so I have plenty of time to take care of all the fur babies. Especially Thursday through Sunday each week. I have a small fenced in yard for quick outside time, but a quiet side street for walks! They would be able to get plenty of excerise as long as they are ok on a leash.
“Amanda was great with all 3 of our large breed dogs! She provided frequent updates and our dogs seemed to really feel comfortable with her. We highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“We decided to try house sitting for the first time. My dog has trouble adjusting and trusting new people and Brittney was amazing with him, she did several meet and greet to make sure my dog was confortable with her!”
“Janelle was great with my boys! When we got home, we found super happy dogs and a very clean house! She is easy to communicate with and kept us very informed on our dogs/house while we were away. We will definitely book her again!”
“Jessica did a wonderful job with our pups! She kept us updated and informed. Not to mention she spoiled our bully rotten.I would highly recommend her if you want your pets cared for to help you have a stress free time away from home.”
“We’ve used Genna a couple of times for housesitting our dogs and she has been great. Good communication and photos/updates which help make us feel more at ease while we are away knowing that the dogs are in good hands. Our dogs can be a handful around strangers, but both took to her quickly and she was very good with them. We would definitely use Genna’s services again.”
About: Very particular about who takes care of your pup, huh? Look no further! Whether it’s a million photos a day, a raw food diet, poop reports, or scheduled tummy rubs, I’m here to fulfill both you and your pet’s needs, down to the very detail. As a dog mom myself, I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone who isn’t as obsessed with them as you are. But with me, your pup will be safe, sound, and spoiled, while you remain at ease. 🙂 I work from home full time, and have an extremely flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the week to meet you and your pet’s needs, including on weekends! When your pet is in my care, you can anticipate: • Potty breaks every 2-3 hours. • 2-3 walks for fresh air and stick hunting. • Play time! • Cuddles and tummy rubs! • Snack time (can be structured around training) • Car rides + Visits to parks and nature trails.
About: I’ve taken care of two large dogs and one mini poodle. I have experience in bathing, feeding and and providing medical care. I live next to Astoria park and can provide the necessary stimuli to make sure your pup is entertained and happy😁 I have a 2 year old poodle that needs daily allergy medication. I provide special care for her and monitor her very closely. I also administer shots for allergy related issues. I treat my pets as I would my own child. I understand that pets are part of the family and I promise to treat them as such. I have a pup of my own and my wife and I love her dearly. I promise i will treat your pet as if he/she were my own because I know how important they are to you and you’re family.
About: Animals have always felt like family to me—and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ve spent over 5 years looking after dogs of all sizes—from bouncy pups to gentle seniors. Walks, belly rubs, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and loved are all part of the care I provide. Whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, or just being their favorite human for the day, I’m here for it. Caring for animals truly brings me joy—I genuinely believe pets are just furry kids, and they deserve all the love. I work from home and set my own schedule, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care for your pet throughout the day. Pet care fits in perfectly! Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I aim to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment that feels familiar. I stick closely to your pet’s routine—feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. In my home, pets have a cozy, calm space with plenty of attention and supervision. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away. I treat every animal like family, no matter the location.

The average cost of House Sitting in Fairplay is $27 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $30 per night.

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 Fairplay 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 Fairplay 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 Fairplay 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 with handling special pet needs in Fairplay. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
