“As always, Stefanie was great. Our pups and cats are always happy to see her! Another sign of how great Stefanie is occurred to me recently: our cats eat food that she serves without missing a beat, even from the first visit!”
“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).”
“Highly recommend!!! Anne followed our instructions, kept good care of our house, cleaned up after herself & made our pup feel SO LOVED! Daily updates & quick responses. Already have her booked again.”
“Kristen was AMAZING!! She house sat from Friday-Sunday and took such great care of my dog Swae. She sent constant pictures and updates, which was extremely comforting, and she followed all of my Instructions to a T. It was clear while away and when I returned home that both my fur baby and home we’re well taken care of. Kristen is an extremely considerate caretaker - this could not have been a better experience. I am so grateful and will absolutely be booking again!”
“Josh took care of our dogs while we were gone for a long weekend. Unfortunately one of our dogs became ill the night before we were due back. Josh did an excellent job informing us of her symptoms so we could figure out best plan for her. He cared for her and kept us up to date on how she was doing until we could get a family member to come take her to the vet. We absolutely trust Josh to take care of our dogs!”
“Kyla was a fantastic pet sitter. She took care of our two dogs and cat while our family was on vacation. She kept us updated with pictures; she gave our animals plenty of love, and she made our vacation better because we knew our animals were cared for. No issues. We would absolutely invite her back to watch our animals again. Highly recommend!”
“Allison is phenomenal! My pup can be quite a challenge, but Allison has always gone above and beyond in making him feel comfortable while we're away. I'm always very thankful for the frequent updates, the patience, and the attention to detail to give me peace of mind. I don't often leave home, but I always feel confident that he's in good hands with Allison!”
“Courtney is an excellent pet sitter! She gives daily updates and responds quickly. She was also able to give our senior dog medication easily. Will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Emily awesome. Great communicator and sent pictures throughout our trip. She handled three dogs with no issues including daily walks. House was spotless when we arrived. Hope to see her again.”
“Faith did a great job she showed up on time and followed my instructions perfectly. Ozzie is a little nervous in his old age and she made sure to spend time with him and keep a close eye on him to keep him settled. I would use Faith again for sure.”
“I would highly recommend Sara for a sitter (she deserves more than 5 stars)! I was very nervous to leave my pup for the first time, but Sara put my worries at ease. She met my puppy before we left so she could get accustomed to him and took notes on everything that was discussed so she wouldn’t forget a thing! When showing up to my house, she was very punctual and had great communication with me throughout. I would get several pictures and messages a day from her when I was gone. By day one, my very nervous and anxious pup felt comfortable with her! She was absolutely fabulous with my dog, and I would recommend her to anyone with a pet. I could just tell that she truly cares for the pets she takes care of! Not only did she take very good care of my dog, she had my house looking better than when she got there. She took out the trash, did dishes, and tidied up the house! I look forward to Sara taking care of my puppy again in the future!”
“Abby did a great job taking care of our dog Gunner and our house while we were on vacation for a week. She was always responsive and professional with communication, from the first outreach until the end of our trip. Abby also texted pictures of him a few times, and he looked happy and relaxed, which helped to reassure us of his well-being. We'd definitely have Abby come over again!”
“Danielle was very responsive in making arrangements for her to house sit my dog, Loki. While staying with Loki, she kept me up to date with pictures, videos and comments. Loki received lots of attention, affection and playtime/exercise from Danielle. I don’t think Loki missed me at all! I definitely want to have Danielle house sit again.”
“Gigi provides first class pet sitting. We have three dogs and they all did very well with her (even the anxious chihuahua). She took wonderful care of all three! For once I didn’t worry while we were away!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fayette on Rover is $52.5 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 1,442 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.
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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fayette. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
