“Kenya was timely, communicative, and made me feel comfortable throughout my entire time away that my animals were cared for and happy. She sent pictures morning and night and reassured me that everything I asked of her was done!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Hailey was great for our dachshunds, readily available and house sitting while we had a weekend away. She kept us closely updated and kept the house very clean. She even sent us photos of the dogs!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Makenna is the bomb! She not only made our two k-9 girls fall in love with her, she also changed the bed, cleaned the house and left us a wonderful unexpected surprise!!! She is also a classy dresser and a delightful person! Thank you Makenna, we will definitely ask you to stay again. Kathy and Michael”
“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.”
“Marie took such good care of Genevieve while I was out of town! She stayed overnight with her, brushed her, and made sure she was well fed and played with. I was very grateful to not have to worry about Genevieve while I was away, knowing Marie was with her and keeping her company. I returned home to a very clean apartment and a happy cat. Communication was always easy and Marie sent pictures the entire time. Thank you for everything, Marie! It was so great to meet you!”
“Autumn was Fabulous!! She is friendly, a great communicater, and sent me pictures throughout her time in my house. I have 3 goldendoodles and they gave her a 5 out of 5 review. Just watching my girls interact with her gave me such peace. The pictures captured their personalities and their smiles. I highly recommend Autumn for your pets needs.”
“Dana was absolutely amazing with our pets. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were forced into our first experience with Rover. I feel so lucky that we were able to connect with Dana and that she had availability to watch our pups. Her communication was amazing. She was very easy to work with. She seemed very comfortable with both personalities of our dogs, which is something considering how different they are. The communication and pictures during our trip were outstanding. I couldn’t recommend Dana more. In fact, we have already sent her profile to some of our closest friends. Thank you so much for all the help!”
“Tori was amazing! Punctual, dependable and so sweet! We received daily updates from Tori showing how our fur baby was doing which gave us comfort while away. She is a fantastic pet sitter who we highly recommend! :)”
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.
“Peter came through for me last minute! He suggested a meet and greet the day before. Peter updated me daily with photos of penthouse. I came back a little later than expected due to my flight, and I'm so grateful I didn't have to worry about my dog because Peter came through last moment for me. Thank you so much!! I will be using him again 💖”
About: I grew up with two large German Shepherds, so I’ve been comfortable around big, powerful breeds my entire life. I’ve recently lived with a rambunctious Golden Retriever puppy & an elderly Boston Terrier. I'm active on another pet/house-sitting app called TrustedHouseSitters through which I've cared for 2 Australian shepherds (3yrs & 6yrs), 2 Goldens (5yrs & 5yrs), a Rhodesian ridgeback mix (2yrs), a a Boston terrier (3yrs), a yorkipoo (16yrs), a Chihuahua (15yrs), and a Shiba Inu (4yrs). I'm comfortable with all sizes, ages, and regimens. I work remotely which allows me to work around whenever your pet needs to be walked, fed, medicated, or entertained! I lead an active lifestyle myself, so if your dog thrives on long walks, runs, hikes, or endless games of fetch, I’m very down to be their exercise partner. If you have a couch potato who just wants to chill, I’m happy to match that energy as well. Following directions and communications are both strong suits for me! I am more than happy to jump on a quick call or video chat to answer any questions you might have, or arrange an in-person meet & greet to ensure we’re a great fit. Since I work remotely, I can fit my work schedule around any type of pet care - administering medicine, bathroom breaks, multiple meals, etc.. I exercise almost every day so adding walks/run or playing games of fetch acts as great exercise for both of us! If your pet comes to my place, it's a spacious apartment with a dog park and multiple green spaces or walking paths nearby. Communication is very important to me so you know your pet's routine is staying consistent. If I am to come to your residence, the majority of my experience has been full house-sitting for pet owners. I adhere to instructions well and quickly ask questions when needed!
“I am thankful and grateful to Katarina. She stayed overnight with my three dogs for the weekend. She was reliable communicated well and sent pictures throught her stay. My dogs can be a handful but were relaxed and comfortable with her. Would recommend her and look forward to using her again.”
“Kiri watched our dogs in our home and she did a great job. She was on time, took the time for our sometimes timid dogs to get comfortable and she sent lots of pictures. Our boys seemed happy when we came home!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Fairview Shores is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairview Shores
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! :)
Taylor was incredible! We recently traveled out of the country and we were really nervous about leaving our dog for the first time. From the moment we met Taylor all of our worries went away. She’s super sweet and made us feel really comfortable about leaving our little one. She sent us pictures and videos every day, and our dog loved her. We will definitely use her for all future travels, and would recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter. :)
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 3,162 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
