“Kendall did a great job caring for my dogs. They loved her!! She took them on adventures and treated them to pup cups at Starbucks! Yes, my dogs are a little bougie 😊. I highly recommend Kendall to care for your pet(s).”
About: I have 9 years of experience caring for animals and have worked at two boarding kennels for over 3 years. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, cleaning, giving attention, and keeping pets safe and comfortable. I work part-time, but I have a flexible schedule and can make time for pet care. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and boarding depending on my work schedule. I graduate in December so my schedule will free up even more! I have over 3 years of professional experience working at boarding kennels, so I understand how important safety and supervision are. I provide a clean, calm, and comfortable environment and treat every pet with care and patience. I unfortunately cant really have pets over at my house due to having a reactive dog and a bird
About: I grew up taking care of several cats, and as a mom I helped my 4 daughters raise and train for obedience 3 dogs. Recently, I worked for 3 years at a (small animal & equestrian) veterinarian clinic in the front office. I take care of walking,feeding, and loving on my neighbors’ pets on a regular basis. My own Labrador, Nico, passed in December 2025. Boarding other pets give me the opportunity to still feel the joy of having a pet around. My day job is somewhat flexible on start and end times, most afternoons I work from home and I can fit in breaks when neeeded I will adapt to your pet’s personality and level of desire for interaction. When taking your pet out, I am mindful of whether or not to let them interact with other pets and people.
“Megan was great! My timid and anxious rescue pup was at ease with her. She was very thorough about what we needed to cover prior to her stay and kept my home orderly and clean. I definitely recommend Megan!”
About: Hi, my name is Ashlea! I am a fur momma to a beautiful little pomsky and a german shepherd!! I know how stressful it can be when you are busy or on vacation and you need someone to look after your pet. I’m here to help! A little about my background in dog sitting.... Whether it’s my families dogs, friends or neighbors dogs, they can always count on me. I absolutely love dogs and I am extremely dependable. I will treat your pup as one of my own. I love being outside and going on adventures! Cooper, Tampa and I go on multiple walks per day so it’s part of our everyday routine! Let’s be honest, dogs are better than most people. I love hanging with the dogs! 😊🐶 Available most evenings and during lunchtime. I have two dogs of my own and we take multiple walks a day as part of our daily routine. Care for them just like my own. I know how stressful it can be to leave town or have long days at work and have to worry about your pups!
“Couldn't have asked for a better first experience using Rover. Allison was amazing and my dog adored her. She sent great video updates which made me feel completely comfortable knowing my dog was having a great time with her. Thanks Allison!”
“Lisa was great! This was the first time we’d ever had anyone watch Ivy so we were so nervous. Lisa took all the anxiety away for us, AND Ivy which was the real concern. Definitely will use her again. Thanks Lisa!!”
About: I have 4 years of pet sitting experience and genuinely love caring for animals. Whether it’s a walk, drop in visit, or occasional overnight stay, I provide dependable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently in graduate school online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop in visit, or an overnight companion, I’m happy to work with your schedule. I strive to provide dependable, loving care and regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. I prefer to watch the animals in the clients home. I feel it makes them more comfortable when they’re in an environment that they know! I will follow any instructions given and will be just a phone call or text away if you want to check on your pups!
About: I started to house/pet sit in 2012 and have been doing it 2-3 times a year ever since. I mostly have taken care of dogs, but have taken care of a couple of cats. I have a full time job on the south side of Indy. I work Monday through Friday, 7:30-4:00. I’m able to feed and take outside before heading to work (if staying at a client’s house) and after work, can take out, feed, and hang out with the pet(s). At a client’s home, I make sure dogs go out and potty and run around if they want to. I always check to see if the pets have plenty of water and give treats, per client’s directions. If a pet has an accident in the house, I will clean it up.
“Abbi is so sweet and was so nice with my dog!! He is a handful but Abbi took great care of him and was so kind and patient with him. She even called me to tell me that my ceiling was leaking and stayed over while the guy fixed it. I highly recommend Abbi and will be asking her for any of my pet-sitting needs :)”
About: I have watched dogs both young and old. They are truly beautiful animals, and I love being around them. I know how to communicate with them and make them feel comfortable and loved:) Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I work approximately 10 hours a week, so I have plenty of time to care for animals and love on them. My life is pretty simple and uncluttered so being able to care for your animal would be a perfect fit for both me and your pet. I live in the country on 2.5 acres. My 2,300 square foot house is open concept and there is plenty of room for pets to roam. There are many large windows to look out and watch the wildlife. I love to take walks and there is next to no traffic in my area. My spare room has a large tree house for cats to enjoy.
“Olivia did a great job with both dogs and house was clean when I got home and dogs were very well taken care of. She sent me messages right when she got to the house and kept me well informed of how they were doing. I would absolutely hire Olivia again.”
“Nicole is very patient and sweet. Even though my dog is anxious with new people, he was comfortable with her from the start. She took him on several walks and gave him lots of love. I highly recommend Nicole!”
“Evelyn was great with my pets and they enjoyed her. I got lots of cute pictures and updates. She worked great with my schedule that was based on how quickly I was driving through not good weather and we got back almost 12hrs later than intended. I came home to my house cleaner than I left it too which was a great surprise after driving 1800 miles in under 48 hours. She even watched a couple of my clients pets that had last minute bookings!”
“Hi Christopher, Thank you so much! This was our first time using your services since our regular pet sitter was unavailable, and we could not be happier. You treated our three Miniature Schnauzers as if they were your own, communicated daily with updates, and sent wonderful pictures. Your professionalism is top-notch. When you came for the meet-and-greet the week prior to our trip, we knew we were in good hands by how our boys reacted to you. We were also so pleased to see how wonderful the house looked when we arrived home; it was in better shape than how we left it. Leaving a nice thank you card was such a thoughtful added touch. We will definitely use your services again and will highly recommend you to our friends. Thank you again for your kindness and professionalism. Regards, Patrick and Rich”

The average cost of House Sitting in Fayette is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $72 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 1,385 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fayette. 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 Fayette 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 Fayette 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Fayette 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.
