“Deborah did a fantastic job watching buddy. She kept us informed daily and even sent us photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. we will use her for sure going forward, thank you again Deborah”
“Kenya was amazing! She sent plenty of pictures and we came back to happy dogs. She allowed us to feel super comfortable while we were on our cruise. Highly recommend.”
“Our 2 Dachshund pups had a wonderful time and were well taken care of by Michael for 4 nights in our home. Thank you so much Michael!! We highly recommend Michael and will continue to hire him going forth!”
“Tori stepped in to help with my two dogs at such a crucial point for me. She completely lived up to all of her 5 star reviews. Communication in meeting the dogs, leading up to the stay and during the stay was excellent. She sent pictures and gave me the updates that were so important to me. I will always be grateful to her for helping me out this weekend. Thank you Tori!”
“Dwight is very reliable and the communication and updates while we are away are perfect! We have used him several times over the past two years for this reason!”
“I booked JaRavia at the last minute, and she was incredibly flexible with scheduling a meet-and-greet. During the boarding, she was patient and understanding with my shy dog, Bear, who can be a bit distant. She checked in frequently, and by the end of the visit, Bear had started to trust her. I highly recommend JaRavia for her kindness and love of animals!”
“Kiri was awesome at taking care of our pets and very communicative. Our dog is a little spicy and I get anxious when new folks watch her. Kiri helped ease that anxiety. Will definitely rebook!”
“Mariia was absolutely amazing with lotus and coco. Thanks to her I was finally able to enjoy a vacation worry and stress free. I’ve used Rover once in the past and had an awful experience with two different people canceling on me a day and two days before my trip and then the sitter that finally agreed to watch them, canceling on me after I left for my trip. My dogs can be super crazy at first and need some time getting used to someone new. Mariia came over once to meet them for a bit and then came over early the day I was leaving to spend some time with them before I left and that really helped my dogs get comfortable with her. I definitely over worry any time I’m away from my dogs and stress about whether they’re being good, but she stayed in contact with me every day sending messages and photos and it really helped me to enjoy my vacation and not worry about my dogs. I’m so happy I’ve finally found someone that I can rely on to watch them when I go on vacation. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Logan was absolutely fantastic with our dogs! Leaving them behind is never easy, especially because they are highly active and each have their own unique personalities, but Logan made the entire experience stress-free. He gave them plenty of attention, kept up with their energy levels, and made sure they were well cared for while we were away. We loved receiving updates and could tell our pups were happy, comfortable, and in great hands. It’s clear that Logan genuinely cares about the animals he watches, and that peace of mind is priceless. We came home to happy dogs and a well-cared-for home. We highly recommend Logan to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring dog sitter. We would gladly have him watch our dogs again!”
“Christina was great & took the time to get to know our puppy Coco before we went on vacation. She sent us regular photos, videos & updates (she should be a photographer 📷). She took Coco for walks & played with her. We highly recommend Christina for taking care of and loving on your pet. We will definitely have her watch Coco again.”
“Kailey was amazing! She took wonderful care of Diesel and gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated with photos, communicated quickly anytime I had a question, and was incredibly responsible throughout the entire stay. I also came home to a very clean and tidy house, which I really appreciated. I felt completely comfortable knowing Diesel and my home were in good hands. I would absolutely book Kailey again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Lia was great- Super friendly, great communication, and punctual. I think she took good care of Apollo and was engaging and playful. Will definitely contact again for future needs!”
“Anna was amazing!! She house sitted oliver for us while we went on a short vaca. She went above and beyond, putting away our clean dishes from the dishwasher, took out the garbage and even handled a complicated delivery for us. She was also extremely communicative and sent me multiple updates and pics a day. Thank u so much anna! Will be booking u again very soon!”
“Natalie took great care of Lily for 4 drop in visits! She sent me videos and pics and everything was just how I left it when I got home! Will be re booking her in the future….thank you Natalie!”
“First of all, I must say that Brenda and Dwain are great ambassadors for Dog setting. Prior to us going on vacation our dog Molly suffered two seizures in one day and we were about to go on vacation in a month and a half, having Brenda and Dwayne taking care of Molly and ensuring she got her medication while we were on a cruise in the Caribbean. There was a point during the vacation. Molly didn’t want to take her medication with the pill pockets. Dwayne and Brenda got some peanut butter and insured that Molly had her medication the entire time we were gone. I plan on using Dwayne and Brenda more often because of the care that they gave Molly, also they took pictures and gave us daily reports and how she was feeling while we were on the cruise. I would highly recommend if you have a pet that you love very much hire Brenda and Dwayne.. I want to thank both Brenda and Dwayne for taking care of our puppy. I highly recommend them. David & Denise. 🙏”
About: Your pets deserve more than just someone to stop by and fill a food bowl—they deserve someone who truly cares. With professional veterinary hospital experience since 2020 and training in canine and feline CPR, your pets are in knowledgeable, capable hands. I treat every dog as if they were my own. That means plenty of playtime, cuddles, enrichment, and one-on-one attention—not just the basics. I also love capturing adorable and funny moments, so you’ll receive photo updates that let you see exactly how much fun your pet is having while you’re away. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel loved, safe, and happy, and to give you complete peace of mind knowing they’re receiving the same care I’d want for my own furry family. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I help care for my two Shibas, so my days naturally revolve around walks, playtime, feeding, enrichment, and making sure they’re happy and healthy. Working in a veterinary hospital since 2020 has also made caring for animals second nature. Spending time with pets isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s something I genuinely love and look forward to every day. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I provide plenty of love, playtime, walks, enrichment, and one-on-one attention, while making sure they’re comfortable and feel safe in their familiar environment. I also send regular photo updates, so you can see your pet happy and enjoying their time while you’re away.
About: Hands on experience caring for animals I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with a wide variety of animals from large to small. I am retired and I do Uber on the side. I have very flexible hours and I’m available from dog walking, spending time with your animals to staying with them in your home to house sitting. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal is different, and I will take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs that they may have. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime, quiet, companionship, medication or extra patience, I provide loving a attentive care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is for both you and your pets is to feel completely comfortable, knowing they’re in experienced, caring and trustworthy hands.
“Nathan took excellent care of our dog and cat, making sure to clarify instructions for medications, etc. When our flight was cancelled last minute, he was kind enough to stay another night at very short notice, which we greatly appreciated! He left the house very clean and tidy. We will certainly book him again.”
“Marie was wonderful and already feels like a part of our family after staying with our two Goldendoodles all weekend. She spent quality time with them and took amazing care of them. We are very thankful we found Marie and will absolutely have her back again!”
“Colleen was wonderful with our cats while we were away for the weekend! She communicated really well throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind, and she left our house spotless. We came home to happy cats. We would definitely book her again and highly recommend her!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Fairview Shores is $45

Christina was a huge hit with both of my pups from their first meeting. Having her housesit for us for a long weekend was fabulous- she was very communicative, sending lots of pictures, and made sure the pups were comfortable. We’ll definitely work with her again!
We had a fantastic experience with Shauna! The level of care is 5 stars across the board. We extended our trip and she was even able to accommodate last minute. When we got home we can tell the fur babies and house was well cared for. So glad we found her and beyond grateful!
Can’t express enough how well Hailey takes care of my pup! I have a very high maintenance German Shepherd that doesn’t warm up to people quickly, but Hailey has been able to befriend and gain his trust. The communication is excellent and she is very attentive during her time with him. 5 stars all the way!
Isabella was AMAZING with our cat, Finn! She made sure he was taken care of and gave him lots of cuddles while we were away overnight for my birthday trip. She’s very attentive and always asked what our preferences were while she stayed at our home. We will definitely be booking her again! :)
Nathan took excellent care of our dog and cat, making sure to clarify instructions for medications, etc. When our flight was cancelled last minute, he was kind enough to stay another night at very short notice, which we greatly appreciated! He left the house very clean and tidy. We will certainly book him again.
Logan was GREAT! He provided good communication with frequent updates and was super friendly. Most importantly, Scrappy loved him! Scrappy appreciates the company of people and Logan truly gave him that. Thank you for the service and keeping Scrappy good company.
The clearest review I can give is the fact that we will be using Kaya each and every time that she is available. She was prompt, responsive, professional, and treated our house and our dog as if they were her own. I can highly recommend her, and as I indicated, we will be using her again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fairview Shores
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fairview Shores on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,212 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fairview Shores. 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 Shores 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 Shores 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 Shores 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 Fairview Shores. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
