“Tori was absolutely wonderful. Our dog is very skittish and does not warm up to people easily, but within minutes of meeting Tori, she was affectionate and clearly comfortable. Tori was incredibly responsive, responsible, proactive, attentive, and respectful throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated, took amazing care of our dog, and treated our home with real care. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing both our dog and house were in such capable hands. We cannot recommend Tori highly enough and are already planning to book her again to stay at our house when we travel later this summer.”

“My chihuahua and sisters German shepherd/black lab mix loved having Angelique stay with them during our weekend away. Angelique was so kind to do a visit ahead of time, was very communicative, and organized her schedule around our dogs. My dog loves to cuddle and definitely got all of the love from Angelique. We’d love to have her back to stay at our place with cooper in the future.”

About: I've been raised to love animals since childhood, and we've had numerous dogs and cats at home growing up. My mother taught me a great deal about treating animals with care and love. I am retired and am available for cat sitting on weekdays between 8 am to 5 pm. I look forward to doting on and pampering your precious ones when they are under my care. With utmost care and attention in your own home. I know that cats are happiest in their own home, doing their own routines. Their comfort is my top priority.

About: All animals tend to love me, I have not met a animal that has never liked me, even the most timid animals feel comfortability when come in contact with me I do online schooling, so dog walking would be the best side hussle to take on to earn that extra money on my own time. I care for pets like any other owner would, which is feeding, playing and walking. May even bathe them if they are needed after playing or walking

About: I've loved and cared for dogs for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've gained experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities.

The pets have been very happy in her very experienced hands and we received the cutest pictures a few times a day. Michaela went above and beyond with our pets and with taking care of our home - leaving stunning flowers on the way out. We personally connected with her and would love to have her back.

She took good care of my pets and my home. If I could give her more than 5 stars I definitely would!”

About: Currently working from home full time! I own a 4 year old shihtzu terrier named Cooper. He’s a super friendly little guy who gets a long with basically any dog. On my free time I enjoy taking my dog to dog parks and interacting with other dog owners. I have experience handling all types of dogs and sizes. Seeing a dog's tail wag super fast is one of my joys! Aside from working and loving dogs, I do enjoy being a foodie and eating at the newest hot spots that open up. Let me know if there is anything else you need to know about me! Working from home full time so I can drop in to walk your dog during the day time if needed! Otherwise usually available weekends as well. I live in a apartment complex on the first floor so there is some room for your dog to roam around. There is also a dog park nearby.

I truly enjoy meeting and making friends with your puppies, kitties, and a variety of 1-4 legged loved ones! I prioritize safety and care for every pet as if they were my own and love sending updates about your pet each visit.

I currently work for the school district part-time and have early mornings, later afternoon and evenings available. I am also available for overnights. I have made visits before work, after work, evenings and throughought the day on weekends.

About: I’ve spent 24 years around animals, including dogs and cats of my own, so I know that trusting someone with your dog or your house key is a big deal. I don’t take it lightly. I’m the kind of sitter who wants to know your dog’s whole personality—their favorite route, the treat that instantly gets their attention, the weird way they ask for dinner, and the little routines that make them feel safe. Tell me everything. The more details, the better. Whether your pup needs a good long walk, help sticking to a routine, gentle senior care, or just company while you’re out, I’ll meet them where they are. I pay attention to body language, keep safety front and center, and send photos and updates so you’re never left guessing how they’re doing. At the end of the day, I want the same thing you do: a happy, relaxed dog and a sitter you feel good about booking again Busy workday or a trip coming up? Send me the dates and times you need help. We’ll go over your pet’s routine and confirm what fits before booking, so you have one less thing to sort out. I’m organized and flexible, and I can build visits around your pet’s schedule rather than expecting them to adjust to mine—whether that means morning walks, midday potty breaks, evening feedings, or weekend coverage. Before a booking, I like to confirm the exact routine so there are no surprises. I’ll be clear about my availability, arrive on time, and communicate promptly if anything changes. Leaving your pet with someone new can feel like a big deal. I want you to feel comfortable telling me every little detail, including the instructions you worry are “too much.” I’m happy to have them. I’ll stick to their routine, double-check doors and gates, keep your space tidy, and send photos and updates. If your pet needs a little time to warm up, we’ll take it at their pace. You’re always welcome to check in. In your home, I’ll follow your house rules, keep fresh water available, and closely follow feeding, medication, and exercise instructions. I’m mindful of anything that could stress your pet—loud noises, unfamiliar people, other animals, or changes to their normal routine. For dogs, I use a secure leash and pay attention to their body language around other dogs, people, traffic, and unfamiliar situations. For cats, I let them set the pace: I won’t force interaction, and I’ll make sure their litter box, food, water, and favorite hiding spots are taken care of. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep you updated, and reach out right away if I notice anything unusual.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 18. I also helped my grandparents deliver , and give immunizations to new dog litters. I also had to help train them prior to them being sent to their new homes. I have dog sit seniors dogs and puppies. I have a huge trail behind my house for some outdoor play and walking and a downstairs balcony in my townhome as well. I own 3 cats as well! Have experience with cat medication , and care . I’m currently available weekend and holidays! I am an Animal Vivarium Manager and can work pet care mostly during those times. However if a week day is needed I can definitely fit that in and work my schedule around it :) I have a fenced patio for playing and a huge hiking trail behind my house with two parks. My current cars are indoor cars but I also let them play on the balcony from time to time for fresh air and outside play.

Vivian was an excellent pet sitter who took care of our two furry family members, even at the last minute! From the beginning, she appeared attentive to the dogs' needs such as their medication, feeding, and bathroom break schedules and we felt a terrific first impression. Vivian did an excellent job of taking care of our home while we were away and she not only took daily photos of our dogs and their activities, but communicated her schedule and our dogs' happy behavior throughout each day. Upon our return, our dogs were energetic and cheerful to see us, and relaxed in our home; they appeared well taken care of. We would hire Vivian again to watch our dogs and highly recommend her for other households and overall pet care! Her house and pet sitting is nothing short of a credible five star review.

I have never used Rover before or had an in-house dog sitter so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised how quickly I was able to find Amelia and arrange a date for a dog sitting. Amelia arranged a meet and greet a few days before the appointment which allowed all of us including our dogs to become comfortable with each other. The actual sitting worked perfectly and Amelia exceeded our expectations. She sent us pictures of the dogs with an update and did everything we asked of her. I would not hesitate to ask her to watch our dogs again.

Left for almost four days out of state for my brother wedding. Bella took good care of my animals while I was gone, and would recommend to anyone looking for animal care. She stayed in my home with them, and everything was clean and animals were happy. Nova is a large dog ~100lbs and doesn’t appear she had any troubles with her. Would look to rebook if I ever had the need again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fairview

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Fairview is $55 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 9,615 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fairview. 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 Fairview 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 Fairview 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 Fairview 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 Fairview. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
