“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”
“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.”
“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!”
“Christina was absolutely amazing with my boys. Very caring and considerate. Thank you for taking such good care of them. I'm so glad to have found such a trusting sitter for my dogs.”
“Makenna dog sat for us for 4 nights and was great! She sent pictures daily and kept me in the loop. Dogs seemed happy as ever! She also was a great guest - stripped the bed before leaving and kept the house tidy. Will be rebooking. Thanks again!!!”
“Mercedes was amazing and I can’t say that enough! My dog recently had a major surgery on his front leg for cancer right before I had to leave for a work trip. I can’t thank her enough for monitoring his movement, giving him medication, and being present with him as he is recovering. Thank you again!”
“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!”
“Domenique was professional, on time, and great and keeping me updated while she watched over my dog and puppy while I was out of the country. She is a pleasure to work with and will like to have her watch my dogs in the future.”
“Ashlee came out to do a meet and great with our dogs the day I messaged her about a possible over night stay. The day of arrival to see how the dogs acted towards her was greatly appreciated. She sent me more photo updates than I think any other dog sitter we have used before. She also let us know how often they went out and how they did with eating our food. Then she texted later that day to make sure we arrived home and to ask how our dogs were when we arrived home. Very thorough and thoughtful, we would use her again.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and genuinely love animals. I’m attentive, dependable, and treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care I’d want for my own. My remote, flexible work schedule makes pet care easy to fit into my daily routine, allowing plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and quality attention. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, spending time outdoors, going for walks, and keeping them happy and cared for.
“Sara took amazing care of Prim. My dog had a vacation while I was away and it was very clear that she enjoyed herself. My dog is 14years old so she can't be easy at times but Sara had patience with her and took great care of her. Thank you.”
“Colleen did an amazing job caring for our 2 cats and house for almost 2 weeks! Also, she kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip, which gave us peace of mind. We came home to happy cats and a spotless house. We will definitely be booking with Colleen again!”
“Omg Danii was AMAZING! She was so kind and loving to our dogs and our dogs loved her from the beginning. She kept in touch with us and was quick to respond to messages, she sent pictures and updates, and kept our dogs happy and healthy. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Julia is amazing! She really was a life saver!! We were able to relax on our trip knowing that our dogs were safe , she sent us updates and pictures. One of my dogs is not a fan of humans and she ended up loving julia! I would 100% call her again for the future!”
“Devona was fantastic. Really responsive and gave continual daily updates while I was out. My dog looked calm and relaxed with her care, highly recommended her and will rebook for future needs.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 6 years, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love doing. I started by helping friends, neighbors, and family with their pets, and over time I became the person everyone called when they needed someone they could trust. I’m also a Frenchie mom, so I understand how important it is to have someone who treats your pets like family. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities.. Whether a dog is shy, playful, or a little stubborn, I have patience and experience working with different personalities. When I come for a visit, I don’t just do the basics and leave. I make sure your pets get love, playtime, and real interaction so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re gone. Over the years, I’ve helped with feeding routines, medication, crate time, potty breaks, walks, and keeping pets entertained and comfortable. I’m reliable, gentle, and always focused on making sure pets feel safe and cared for. Your pets will be treated like my own with plenty of affection, attention, and care at every visit. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I currently work part-time from home and make my own schedule. This gives me plenty of flexibility to stop by for visits and walks throughout the day. Whether your pet needs morning, afternoon, or evening care, I’m able to adjust my schedule to make sure they get the attention and love they need. I’m also available on weekends and can often accommodate same-day requests if something comes up unexpectedly. As a Frenchie mom, I know how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. At home, my own dog gets plenty of attention, playtime, and walks throughout the day, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow your routines and instructions so your pets feel secure and comfortable. I take my time during visits, make sure they have fresh water, food, exercise, and lots of love. I’m gentle, patient, and treat every animal as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety and happiness will always come first.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life and have had my own dog since I was 6 years old. From daily walks and feeding to bathing, playtime, and comfort care, dogs have always been a big part of my life—not just pets, but family. I have extensive experience caring for large breeds, including Rottweilers. I’m confident handling strong dogs and understand the importance of structure, consistency, and calm leadership. I’m attentive to body language and individual needs to ensure every dog feels safe and respected. I also have hands-on experience with puppies, including newborn care. When my Rottweiler had puppies, I helped care for them during their early stages—monitoring feedings, cleanliness, socialization, and supporting a healthy routine as they grew. I understand the patience and consistency puppies need and enjoy helping reinforce positive behaviors. In addition, I have experience caring for senior dogs, including those who need a slower pace, extra comfort, and close monitoring. I’m attentive to mobility needs, medication routines (when applicable), and making sure senior pets feel secure and loved. I regularly care for family and friends’ dogs while they are away, providing in-home and overnight care while keeping pets on their normal routines. I prioritize communication and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, affection, and careful attention to safety. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. I work part-time during the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to be present and engaged with your pets. I’m able to plan my schedule around their needs, ensuring they receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I have open availability on weekends, allowing me to provide extra care, longer stays, walks, and plenty of one-on-one time. Whether your pet needs frequent check-ins, structured routines, or just extra love and playtime, I’m able to accommodate. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal schedules so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Your pet will never feel rushed or unattended—I truly enjoy spending quality time with them In My Home: Pets staying with me are treated like family. I have a large fenced-in backyard for safe play and exercise, plus a cozy converted garage space for quiet, comfortable sleep time. I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, play, and rest to help them feel at home. In My Client’s Home: I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their usual routine. I spend at least two hours per visit to provide quality time, including walks, play, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship. I always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairview Shores
Thank you so much, Nathan, for taking such wonderful care of our doggies and our home! It was such a relief to know they were in good hands while we were away. The doggies were happy when we returned, and our house was clean and tidy. We truly appreciate your kindness, care, and thoughtfulness. We will definitely reach out to you again whenever we need help with our doggies and home. Thank you again for everything!
The best pet sitter we've ever had. Hands down. We felt totally comfortable leaving our fur babies in her care. She kept in regular communication with us, shared photos of our babies enjoying their time, which allowed us to relax, and enjoy our vacation worry-free. Would hire her again in a heartbeat.
Deborah is wonderful! I was really nervous about going to NYC for 7 days and leaving my kitty Chloe alone….who has never been left alone before. My aunt and a friend were available during the day to check on her, but I really wanted someone to stay overnight for a min of 2 nights. I discovered Rover and was very impressed with the app, reviews and pet sitter screenings. As soon as I met Deborah the day before my departure, she put my mind at ease and I knew that my little Chloe was in good hands and would be given some affection. When Deborah spent the night, she touched base with me via text and provided updates and photos of her interactions with Chloe. I highly recommend Deborah and will definitely hire 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!
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! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Fairview Shores is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $1 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 October 2026, there are 3,190 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
