“Monica took great care of my aging, somewhat needy pittie and her sister kitty, and kept me informed with messages and photos. Great communication! My house was left clean and linens washed. My deck plants were also well taken care of. Hope for a repeat someday.”
“Julianna was excellent at our home! She had to give our Calli some medicines, which is a challenge for me and I appreciate that Julianna had no problem in administering medications. I highly recommend her and plan on using her in the near future again!”
“Kelly was a fantastic sitter for my fur baby Onyx! She was in regular communication, sent lots of pics and kept me updated as necessary. Onyx was well taken care of and Kelly was loving, patient and kind with her. She worked with me on crazy changes to my flight schedule and even offered to stay late which I really appreciated. She left my house clean and fresh and was a pleasure to work with. She is reliable and a great communicator. She even checked on Onyx the day after my return. I’d definitely have Kelly again and am already trying to book her for a future date. Thank you Kelly for taking such great care of Onyx, for being so loving with her and for being willing to work with me on all levels!”
“Ron took care of our two dogs overnight. He initially came over for a meet and greet, which was helpful. He’s a great communicator and sent us lots of pics and updates. Highly recommend.”
“Darla did a great job with Rudy, Evie, Boo Boo and PepperJack! I was out of country for a week and nervous to be so far away and doing Rover.com for the first time. Darla has excellent attention to detail is cares about every nuance of taking are of my furry family. Thank you Darla for doing such an awesome job! Leah”
“Gina is awesome! She watched our dogs and house while we were away on a new years trip, and we couldn’t have been happier with choosing her from the Rover app. Updates, communication, and peace of mind were all on point. Coming home to two very happy dogs, and a nicely taken care of house was the best way to end our 5 days away. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: I've been around animals since I was a baby. I have a fondness for the senior pets, they are just the sweetest! I love having playtime and cuddle time and a good walk if you're pet enjoys walks. (My grand cat walks on a leash, so we go on walks all the time). It's a scary time when pet parents are away for both pet and parent and I'll be there to make all of you at ease! I have a very flexible part-time job, so that frees me up to spend as much time as needed with your fur baby most weekdays and weekends, even holidays! I have three indoor feral rescue kitties. It took time and trust on all sides, but all three are now the sweetest cats ever! Every fur baby that has been brought into my house over the years, was either a feral I rescued off the street or adopted from a shelter. Mine are indoor only, except for when I sit on the porch. They get to come outside, but they all stay on the porch and come inside when I do.So lots of toys and enrichment is important for them. They all love to play fetch and chase the laser! Whatever your pet requires or whatever their routine is, I'm there for it. It's all about your pet and putting your mind at ease that they are in the best possible hands!
About: What sets me apart is my patient, low-stress approach to caring for both cats and dogs. I let pets set the pace, offering gentle attention, interactive play, quiet companionship, or relaxed walks depending on their energy and mood, all while strictly maintaining their daily routines. I genuinely love animals, and nothing fills my cup more than spending quality time getting to know each unique fur buddy. I work from home with a highly flexible routine, which allows me to seamlessly incorporate pet drop-ins and house visits into my day. Because I set my own workflow, I can easily stick to strict feeding schedules, medication times, and midday check-ins without feeling rushed. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priority is maintaining their exact daily routines in an environment where they already feel safe. I follow your precise instructions for feeding schedules, fresh water refills, litter box maintenance, and medication administration. I allow cats and anxious pets to approach me at their own pace, offering gentle affection, interactive play, or quiet companionship depending on their mood. I treat your home with the utmost respect—keeping doors secure, handling mail or plants if requested, and sending detailed visit updates with photos so you have total peace of mind.
About: I have been around all types of animals, both big and small, since I was a baby, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I have a lot of experience working with different types of dogs and understanding their individual needs. I’m comfortable with daily care, giving medications, and providing basic first aid when needed. I’m always excited to take on a new challenge and to learn more about caring for your animal(s). I am almost always available all day, everyday of the week! Perfect for pet owners who may need a little more help while they’re away! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as much as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, medication, exercise, bathroom breaks, and cleaning up after them. I also give each pet plenty of attention and watch for any changes in their behavior or health so I can let the owner know if anything seems wrong.

About: Hi, my name is Stacy and I am an avid dog lover and owner! Hi! My name is Stacy, and I’m an avid dog lover and proud dog owner! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child, with most of my experience centered around dog walking and providing attentive, reliable care. I’m also a proud owner of a four-year-old Border Collie–Lab mix, so I understand firsthand the importance of keeping dogs happy, active, and well cared for! I am available during the mornings, afternoons, and evening or overnight dog sitting. I also have transportation, so happy to take your dog to the park or beach!

“Leslie does a fantastic job with all of our pets! She has been our go-to first choice sitter since our first booking with her over a year ago. She's thoughtful, plans ahead, and keeps us in the loop.”
“I'm very impressed with the Sophia and the care she gave my pets while sitting. I will definitely be using her again. She watched over my cat Riley and my dog Lia. They both warmed up to her quickly. My dog does not normally do that. After the first night Lia warmed up to her and they became friends. Sophia always stayed in touch and sent plenty of photos for me to see how they were doing. She left my house clean and neat. I highly recomend Sophia to anyone who is looking for a conifdent, respectful, caring pet sitter.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me! From walks and playtime to cuddles, feeding routines, and making sure they feel safe and loved, I’m comfortable with all the little things that make a dog happy. I’ve also had a cat for about four to five years now, so I understand the different personalities and needs that come with caring for pets. I’m attentive, reliable, and the kind of person who will probably take way too many photos of your pet while you’re away(yes I am happy to send them and keep you updated:)). My goal is to make sure your fur baby feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re gone! I joined Rover recently because I work from home and have extra time on my hands throughout the week to dedicate to your pet. I am flexible and am happy to drop in and or walk your furry friend/s. I live in an apartment, so I ensure that I lead an active lifestyle whether I'm working remotely, running, checking out new places with friends, or in the gym. I'm looking to add pet care onto my list once again. If I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I respect your privacy and follow your instructions whether it's feeding, walks, play, meds, bedtime routine aka whatever your pet needs to feel happy and secure. I try to keep everything as normal as possible so they feel right at home even when you're away! And finally, I am responsible! I make sure to follow all instructions with receipts! :) (meaning if I'm scheduled to give meds at specific time/ add vitamins or take a walk, I will give photo updates as well)
About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and have over 2 years of experience caring for cats and dogs. My experience ranges from caring for high energy foster puppies who require lots of play time and long walks to providing more patient gentle care to calm senior dogs who just want to be in your company. I am extremely reliable, passionate and trustworthy. I currently work full time in the wine industry and am off from work at around 4:00 pm daily. I am free any day of the week for afternoon walks and care! When caring for your pet in their own home, my top priority is maintaining their normal routine to keep them stress free. I follow your instructions carefully and diligently for feeding, watering, walking etc… Each visit includes a walk, potty break and dedicated play time. I also ensure your home remains tidy and secure while you’re away.
About: My background as a Holistic Practitioner allows me to bring a calm, nurturing presence that helps even the most anxious pets feel safe and loved. I have 10 years experience in pet sitting and specialize in senior cats and dogs. I am comfortable with administering medications and managing specialized care. I also offer frequency therapy, which is a wonderful gentle way to soothe separation anxiety and support them through any health issues. I will treat your place as if it were my own and ensure that you return to a clean and well cared for home. I’m a digital nomad I work remotely from my laptop which gives me the freedom to work from anywhere. Your pets will have constant companionship and minimal disruption to their routine. I have most recently been traveling as a house and pet sitter on Trusted Housesitters and have many wonderful reviews. I have fallen in love with the animals and the freedom it has given me. I have decided I would like to do this professionally and have just signed up with Rover. Looking forward to meeting you.
“Taylor is responsible for, kind, smart, and wonderful with dogs! We have a Blue Heeler mix who is picky about who he likes and he bonded with her immediately. She took him on the long walks that he needs and also gave him the love he needed to be happy and relaxed when we came home. Our home was left spotless and our dog was happy. What more could we ask for?! We will definitely engage her again without hesitation!”
“Angela is a terrific sitter- very chill and experienced with dogs, good communicator, punctual, took good care of the house and was overall considerate. She followed care instructions well. Our boxers took to her immediately and they were soon playing with her in the yard and hanging out on the sofa. Great experience!”
“Linette took great care of our dogs! We appreciate that she sent updates and pictures everyday to let us know that our girls are safe, active and happy. We will definitely ask her to come back.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Fairville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 7,065 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fairville. 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 Fairville 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 Fairville 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 Fairville 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fairville. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
