About: Animals have been a big part of my life since I was a child. I have always loved dogs and cats and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I studied Veterinary Assistant in my home country and worked for one year at a veterinary clinic. This experience taught me how to care for animals, pay attention to their behavior, and understand that every pet has different needs and personalities. I currently have a 2-year-old rabbit and a 3-year-old turtle, so caring for animals is an important part of my everyday life. I have a pet in Colombia whom I miss very much, and spending time with animals here brings me a lot of happiness. This is one of the reasons I decided to join Rover. I would love to spend more time with animals while giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve. I will treat your pet as if they were my own. I am patient, responsible, attentive, and always focused on making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you are away. 🐶🐱🐰❤️ I currently work from 7 AM to 4 PM, so I am available for pet care before or after work depending on the service and location. On Wednesdays and Fridays, I have much more flexibility and can spend the whole day with your pet. I am happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in their home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions about feeding, walks, routines, and any special needs. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. I also keep their space clean and organized. My goal is to give every pet plenty of attention, companionship, and care while their family is away. I want them to feel happy, relaxed, and comfortable in their own home. 🐾❤️

“Anita is simply the best! Since the first time she house sat and took care of my Missy, she has been my number one go to! The level of care she takes to bond with my dog, Missy is way above and beyond what I would ever expect, but it comes so natural for her. I think this is probably the fifth time she’s watched my Missy and she will continue to be my first choice. Plus Missy absolutely loves her!”

About: Well to begin with, I have experience walking numerous dogs since the day I could remember. My love for animals in general is immense, contributing to the positive well being of animals is my passion and being able to focus that into a career is something I would have never imagined simply by making sure dogs go when they need too. It all began by simply watching over my own dog, and then it lead me into walking my neighbors dogs and eventually I took it upon myself to walk others in the neighborhood. The first dogs I took care of was a chunky miniature pincher and a 70 lbs pit bull terrier, I am not prejudice towards animals specifically dogs since they are in my field and I have years of experience with different breeds of all sorts. As I am a new LLC on the rise I am in the midst of obtaining my ARC certifications for the health and general knowledge of animals, considering on a professional level I take this accordingly and not enough dog walking companies supply this for their walkers. Being trustworthy, reliable, respectable, caring and cautious are few of the many traits I carry and endorse for my business in which I believe are critical in the dog walking business. Every dog is unique, just like a person I would not want to disrespect their space and have them catch an unapproachable vibe from me. I like to make sure I build comfort and confidence with the dogs I will work with, considering not many may be comfortable with letting someone unfamiliar walk them, my specialty. Walking dogs for me personally is never something I like to do in a haste, I enjoy in executing my job correctly and efficiently. I make sure every walk is special at times they come back home with a better attitude than the dogs left in. My main goal for the dogs are exercise, safety, fun and making sure they are able to do their business enough. I am a full time dog walker and lifetime animal lover so meeting accommodations for him or her is never a problem. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile hopefully I gain the opportunity and trust of being able to walk your furry child! Taking care of pups is my daily life. I have my own pups so it comes to me naturally. To do what needs to be done to make sure our pups are well taken care of! I do this full time! First of all, i make sure the pup is as comfortable as possible make them feel as if the parents are home. I walked them as many times as possible, keep all their needs up to date & give lots of love.

“I had Arin watch my dog & cats for a few days while I was gone and she was so great! I met up with her prior to leaving and I immediately felt comfortable with her and trusted her to take good care of my pets/ be in the house. She was super sweet and my dog took to her right away. She sent me daily updates and pictures and I felt completely comfortable while I was away. Would definitely rebook :) thank you Arin!”

About: Thank you for your interest in booking with me for your pet care needs 🤍 I offer boarding for cats and dogs, daycare and drop-ins throughout the year. Since younger. I've had the joy growing up in my household with various pets, including cats, dogs, fishes, and birds. Over the years, I've become the go-to person for family and friends when they need someone to love, protect, and take care of their pets. If you ever need a reliable pet caretaker. Im the one!🙋‍♀️ I provide three to four walks daily: morning, afternoon, evening and before bedtime. I'm home a good amount of time. I work around your fury baby schedule. All doors to the outside are closed at all times. The house also has two doors to the entrance. I have acess to the backyard with fence. For cats, we keep our windows closed. We also have a gate that separates the living room and the kitchen so when we are cooking and eating the gate is to keep the dog/s in the living room area in order to prevent them from eating anything that might fall on the ground. Dogs are truly easy to manage when it comes to safety as they tend to be obedient and I’m able to entertain them easily. However, with cats as we know get into everything, on everything and it’s much difficult to know what they do overnight since they are free spirits 😁 Nonetheless, I do my best to ensure the safety of everyone, your pets and my family. Please read the Rover Guarantee for further details.

About: As a dedicated dog owner since 2020 and a current medical student with flexible hours, I bring a high level of responsibility, attentiveness, and genuine compassion to pet care. Having managed my own dog’s health, routines, and daily needs for years, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to look after your furry family members. I always prioritize your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness, which is why I only prefer walking or sitting one dog at a time! Whether they need a high-energy walk to burn off steam or gentle companionship while you are away, your pets will be in safe, loving hands. My routine with school allows me to be flexible with midday walks, feeding schedules, and play sessions, ensuring your pups get all the attention and exercise they need right when they need it. While I prefer bookings ahead of time, I can do my best to accommodate last minute walks/care! Your dog’s safety and well-being are my absolute top priorities. I do not overlap bookings to provide undivided attention and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience and vigilance I would give my own pet. I am careful with secure leash handling, attentive to environmental hazards, and strictly follow any dietary, medication, or behavioral guidelines you provide. You can count on reliable communication, prompt updates, and peace of mind while you're away.

Now if I have to travel, I know my cat and my home will be well looked after.”

About: I’ve had a deep passion for engaging with and taking care of animals since I was a kid; specifically with dogs & cats. I’ve been fortunate enough to have become a reliable sitter for several families and neighbors that I grew up with on Long Island, and have been able to continue serving many different owners across Manhattan while I attend university here in the city. My apartment is perfect for in-home boarding requests as this has become my favorite form of pet-care. Personally, I’ve yet to find anything in my life that I enjoy more than getting to play with and look after dogs and cats; over the years I’ve learned such a great deal about the type of engagement that dogs really need throughout their daily activity, as well as providing a safe and protected environment for cats that wish to roam. I’ve have solid experience administering medication, following strict meal plans, and even training as needed - all animals are different and require different types of care. It would be my privilege to watch over yours! I’m currently enrolled asynchronously at Touro University to pursue my Masters in Education which provides me with plenty of time and availability to be present and engaged with the animals I’ve been fortunate enough to work with. I have a spacious apartment with a full trained & vaccinated Labrador puppy of my own who’s incredibly docile, but quite playful! I am fully stocked on food, toys, treats, vitamins, an Animal First-Aid Kit, and even HeartGuard + Symperica Trio supplements (just in case.) Ofcourse, watching your animal in your home would be no problem either and I have extensive experience in doing so - it all really just depends on your need. Committing to your pet’s regimen and ensuring their comfort will always remain my highest priority.

About: Passionate and responsible dog caregiver with 8 years of experience in providing loving and attentive care to dogs of all breeds and sizes. As a dedicated pet lover, I ensure that every dog feels safe, happy, and well-cared for in my presence. My daily routine might include scheduled walks, feeding times, play sessions, and check-ins with pet owners. I start the morning with a few dog walks, visit pets who need midday care, and have evening check-ins for feeding and companionship. Also, I offer overnight stays for clients who travel, basic training or even dog daycare services. In my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment. I ensure they have a clean space to rest, plenty of exercise, and mental stimulation through play and training. I follow their feeding schedule, provide fresh water at all times, and offer companionship throughout the day. In my client’s home, I maintain the pet’s routine to reduce stress while their owner is away. This includes scheduled walks, feeding, playtime, and any special care they require. I also provide updates and photos to reassure pet owners that their furry friends are happy and well cared for. My goal is to make every dog feel loved, safe, and comfortable, whether in my home or theirs!

Katherine was awesome, very communicative, and did a great job watching Griff during my time away for a work trip. It hasn't been easy finding a sitter for a larger, energetic dog like Griff who's a 3 year old German Shepherd/Husky mix. Seeing Katherine's experience with German Shepherds growing up gave me confidence that she would be a good fit for Griff as we've only been in the city for a few months and hadn't yet found an option outside of boarding. I highly recommend her (except for the days I need her)

FAQs for House Sitting - Fairview

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Fairview is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $117 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 19,301 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.

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.
