“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.”
“Noelle was fantastic with our babies! We will definitely reach out to her again for our next weekend getaway! She was attentive to their needs, patient with our pug's disability, cognizant of their comfort throughout the weekend, and kept them on their schedule/routine. She checked in often and kept us informed of their activities, leaving us to a stress-free, mostly unplugged weekend. We are very happy to have found Noelle!”
“I cannot recommend Logan highly enough. From our very first interaction, he was professional, communicative, and genuinely invested in making sure my dog felt comfortable and cared for. What impressed me most was the level of attention and care he provided. He was consistently reliable, arrived when expected, sent thoughtful updates, and clearly took the time to get to know my dog’s personality, needs, and routines. It gave me tremendous peace of mind knowing my dog was in such capable hands. My dog absolutely adores him, which says more than I ever could. It’s obvious that he genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were his own. Every walk left my dog happy, exercised, and excited for the next visit. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, dependable, kind, and truly exceptional with dogs, look no further. Finding someone you can confidently trust with your pet is rare, and Logan has earned my highest recommendation. I would not hesitate to book with him again and will continue to do so whenever I need help caring for my dog.”
“Dwight is extremely accommodating and friendly. He goes above and beyond to take care of our dog, Keaton. We know Keaton will be in amazing hands when Dwight is taking care of him. We hope to have Dwight care for Keaton for more vacations and long days of ours in the future!”
“We always receive exceptional service from Hailey! Daily photos and updates - it makes traveling so much better knowing that someone is caring for our babies.”
“Wonderful house sitter & took terrific care of our cat Oscar. Deborah leapt in to help us on short notice when another Rover sitter bailed the night before she was due to start. My wife and I highly recommend Deborah and would be happy to use her again.”
“Let me start off by saying that I highly recommend Heather for any of your pet related needs! We had a trip planned prior to knowing we'd have a little pup in our lives. Given that he was only 11 weeks old I was undecided as to whether to cancel the trip or find a sitter to stay in my condo with him while we were gone for the weekend. We found Heather on Rover and after an day of exchanging messages I felt comfortable enough to book and meet Heather the day prior to our departure. She took care of Linkin as if he was her own. She was 100% responsive to all of my texts and sent lots and lots of pictures of my little man having fun in the condo, while he was out for walks and even when he was exhausted from playing and fell asleep. If it's a friendly, reliable pet sitter you're looking for...look no further, Heather is great and I've personally found my go to sitter for Linkin from here out.”
“Michael was great with Archie! Plenty of photo updates and handled his food/meds/walk routines like a pro. Would highly recommend Michael especially for anyone with a Doodle.”
“I can’t recommend Peter enough! Leaving your home and fur babies with someone you don’t know is never easy but Peter exceeded every expectation. My dogs were clearly happy, relaxed, and loved while I was away. It was obvious Peter gave them plenty of attention and care, treating them like his own. And my house was left spotless! Finding someone as reliable, respectful, and genuinely caring as Peter is rare. We’re already booked again 🫶🏼”
“Autumn was absolutely phenomenal! She stayed at our house over the Thanksgiving holiday and took incredible care of our two dogs. She sent daily photos and videos, kept them active with walks, and gave them so much love and attention. On top of that, our home was spotless when we returned. We felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in such caring hands. We’ll 100% be using Autumn anytime we go out of town — and the dogs give her all the tail wags! 🐾”
“Marie is the BEST! I am so thankful that I left my sweet, sometimes challenging, senior dog with Marie during my trip to Europe. Marie is confident with all kinds of medications and based on all of the photos she sent, my dog enjoyed was beyond loved and happy the whole time. Traveling with the comfort, knowing that my pup was taken care of meant everything to me. Thank you, Marie!!”
About: I have utmost respect (and lots of love!) for all animals. I truly view them as real friends and equals. With experience, I have also learned how to set and maintain good (and firm - when necessary) boundaries. Dogs have been trusted members of my family since I was a child. I have cared for senior rescue dogs; I have socialized puppies; I have taught reserved dogs new tricks; and I have taught stubborn dogs to sit and wait. I have admittedly less history with cats, but just as much respect and care for them as any other animal. I do currently have one close cat companion (we used to be roommates, and have been best buds ever since). As with all animals, I find that the respect and love I give to the pets I interact with is reciprocated - and often multiplied! As a person who is both adventurous and empathetic, I am generally very well attuned to the health and wellbeing of those around me, and I really enjoy taking dogs for walks almost as much as they do! I also like to play, and I can handle all kinds of doggy games. Big dogs welcome! I am an early riser - morning walks are my favorite! From day to day, I am generally very flexible; I work part-time as an independent handyman (furniture assembly, TV mounting, etc). I can make almost anytime work, as long as we can agree in advance. All requests are welcome! I enjoy long walks (with lots of 30-second stand and sniff breaks). I am both energetic and patient I love to play Always send updates when leaving
“Makenna was amazing! Very communicative and sent lots of sweet photos during the stay. We could tell our pup loved her. Don’t hesitate to book with Makenna!”
About: Hi! My name is Jack :) I have spent the past several years working as a veterinary technician, caring for animals in a professional medical setting. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets with medical needs. I love building trust with animals and helping them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets, so you can travel with confidence knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 I strive to be flexible and accommodate your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Whether your pet needs morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight care, I will work with you to ensure their feeding, exercise, medication, and enrichment schedules are maintained. Consistency is important for both cats and dogs, and my goal is to keep their day-to-day routine familiar and stress-free while you’re away. I am happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs and create a care plan that works best for them. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. As a veterinary technician with several years of experience, I am trained to recognize signs of illness, injury, or distress and respond appropriately. I provide a calm, patient, and low-stress environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires medication, I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. You can expect reliable communication, regular updates, and peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for by an experienced animal care professional.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all exercise needs and breeds for years. I care deeply about giving our pets the best life possible and meeting their needs. I am a university student with a flexible, active schedule. I can help your animals during weekdays, in the mornings and afternoons, and most hours on weekends. I have a proven track record in assisting many close friends and neighbors with their dogs. I am a trustworthy and responsible person who will keep your pets safe.
About: I've grown up with pets my entire life and caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I have hands-on experience with senior dogs and understand the extra patience and care they need. Friends and family have trusted me for years to walk their dogs and provide reliable, loving pet sitting. I treat every pet like my own—whether that means long walks, belly rubs, or just keeping them company while you're away. I’m a college student on summer break, so I have a lot of free time and a super flexible schedule right now. Pet care fits in really easily for me—I’m available most days and happy to work with whatever routine your pet is used to! Whether I’m watching your pet at my place or yours, I make sure they’re safe, comfy, and happy. I follow your instructions and give them lots of love. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own and always be watching them with my full attention!
“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.”
“We just had Carolina stay at our house for 7 nights to watch our 12 year old golden retriever and our cat, and she did a great job. This was actually the first time we’d left our house with someone else too since buying it, so we were a bit anxious, but Carolina made it easy. She was super responsive from the start and really seemed to want to do the work, which we appreciated. While we were away, she kept us updated with photos and videos, and always got back to us quickly if we had any questions. When we got home, the pets were happy and the house was just as clean as we left it, which was really nice to come back to. We’d definitely hire her again and would recommend her to anyone needing a reliable sitter.”
“Highly recommend Isabella. She always goes above as a beyond and I completely trust her with my pets. She is a great communicator and sending lots of pictures.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Fairview Shores is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairview Shores
I'm so grateful for Isabella taking care of Prim! She took on the job last minute and took such great care of her. When I got home Prim didn't seem to even notice I left. I could tell she was taken great care of her. My dog is a senior 14 year old dog and I know she can't always be the easiest. Isabella also stayed in communication with me which was absolutely appreciated! I highly recommend her.
Dwight was outstanding! Our dogs were well taken care of and completely happy and worn out (in a good way)! He truly cares for dogs. Dwight’s communication was excellent and we ad zero concerns the entire weekend. Our house was also well maintained. We would absolutely recommend Dwight to anyone!
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.
We love Taylor! She took the time for a meet & greet beforehand to get to know my kitty and his routine. She is responsible, trustworthy, compassionate towards animals, communicative, and detail oriented. I had no stress while I was away for several days as she took great care of him, and sent updates daily. Would definitely recommend and book again :)
Couldn't have been a better experience, we will 100% have Carolina stay with our four babies again. She’s very organized, very knowledgeable, wonderful communication and clearly loves animals. Carolina understands how important it is for pet parents to have their babies cared for. Can’t say enough, thank you for taking such good care of our pups.

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 3,235 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.

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.
