“Jennifer handled my scared and confused Great Dane beautifully. My dog is not aggressive, but she is timid and she repeatedly got herself scared and in tough situations and Jennifer stayed and above and beyond and handled the situation. She made me feel like my picky, sweet Giant dog was safe, and I can’t ask for more than that.”
“Our three dogs with very different needs can be a lot to manage (a rambunctious 18 month old, a five year old, and an elder dog in significant decline), and Adriana took great care of all of them simultaneously. She asks the right questions and communicates clearly and quickly to resolve anything that comes up. We could not be happier with how she works with us and cares for Maddie, Olaf, and Otter.”
“Julie is incredibly kind with Romina and treats her as if she were her own cat. She kept me updated with photos throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. She made sure Romina was well fed, spent time playing with her, and even slept beside her. It was clear that Romina was loved and cared for the entire time. I’m so grateful and would absolutely trust Julie with Romina again.”
“Riley was very good and I would recommend him to annyone and use him again! I texted him daily to check on the pups and he always responded back! Very nice and I’m a nervous dog mom so he was great!”
“Kendra was so lovely to work with - she was friendly, understanding, and communicative. She was great about checking in with regular updates, and she took excellent care of our dogs and our home while we were away. Would definitely love to work with her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a child. Golden retrievers and labs. My first childhood dog was Rusty. Dog lover all ages and breeds. I’m very nurturing and most animals sense my care and compassion. I have a somewhat flexible schedule currently. I work as a physical therapist and Pilates instructor. Please message me for times/availability and happy to assist in your dog needs. Currently I am available for dog walking and drop ins. I am very loving, caring and nurturing and will provide great care of your pet.
“We are so grateful for Lee and completely confident that our kiddos were in good hands while we were away! Not only did she keep us updated daily but we came home to a very clean home. We will definitely be repeat clients!”
“Diana was fantastic and we would 100% book her again. Our two dogs took to her quickly at our initial meeting, which put me at great ease. She stayed in our home for 3 nights with our 11 month old puppy and our 14 year old dog. They both have completely different personalities and needs. Diana sent us videos and photos of the dogs, and little updates each day. The house was also well taken care of and looked as if no one had been here. We were able to enjoy our trip without worry and knew the dogs were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”
“As always the dogs were well taken care of and Emalynn was a joy to have stay here. They miss her already! It is great to come home from vaca to happy fur babies. Thank you”
“She was so amazing! Leah loved her so much I dont think she was as happy to see me lol She sent photos very often and i never wondered how Leah was doing.. Shes awesome and We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Alyssa was absolutely amazing! She stayed with my very energetic dog for 3 nights. She sent updates and pictures throughout and kept my mind at ease. My house looked better than when I left it. Highly recommend and will be reaching out to Alyssa again in the future.”
“Nick's level of care and communication was great! Our pup was not feeling well when we left for our trip, but Nick made him feel comfortable and updated us on his progress. Would reccomend him for any in home sitting needs.”
“Amber was very patient and caring for our 2 dogs. One a senior lady who needs a lot of special attention and medications. She kept us updated and didn't hesitate to ask questions about their needs. Will definitely recommend and would love to have her take care of our doggies again.”
About: I’ve always felt a special connection to animals and I love spending time with them. I grew up with 4 dogs, 5 cats, and 2 rabbits, so I’m comfortable around lots of different animals! I accept pets of all breeds, sizes, and ages, and my top priority is caring for your pet and keeping them healthy and happy! I have a part-time job where I work in the afternoons, so I’m really able to be flexible in when I care for pets! I would be able to work with you and your dog for whatever works best for the both of us! I will ensure the care given to your pet is up to your standards as well as keeping your pet healthy and happy while you’re away! I love and accept all breeds, sizes, and ages!!
“We had an excellent experience with Yelitza as dog sitter and would happily book with her again. From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, sending frequent updates and lots of photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. What impressed us most was how quickly our dogs warmed up to her during the meet and greet. One of our dogs is extremely shy and nervous around new people, so seeing Richard immediately comfortable with our sitter was remarkable and spoke volumes about her calm, caring demeanor. She also went above and beyond throughout the stay. Not only did she take wonderful care of our dogs, but she cleaned up after them without being asked and even brought in packages that arrived while we were away. Those thoughtful extra touches were such a pleasant surprise. We returned home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and felt completely confident that they were in great hands. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter.”
“Our dog seems happy and well cared for and the house is clean and very well looked after. Tommy even cleaned the things he used and left the house looking very clean! We would love to use him again!”
About: I've been working with animals since I was little. I've worked with all sizes of dogs and also have taken care of cats. I've watched senior pets and pets with specific health needs. I also have a formal education in animal behavior as a nice added bonus! I'm currently working part time during the summers and I'm in college the rest of the year. I have plenty of free time to watch your cats. I can do drop in/walks during the week and if you're pet is okay alone more than 4 hours I can also pet sit during the week. I can dog sit any weekend. I only do dog sitting as my home isn't suitable for boarding. I do however reliable transportation and can watch your pet at your home. I also maintain plants and some smaller reptiles/amphibians so I can help keep your house in order while you're away.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Fayetteville is $50

Maggie was AMAZING with my pups. She was in constant communication with me while I was out of town and provided plenty of pictures too! I will definitely be using her again. Not to mention I came back home to a clean house, happy pups, and a very nice note! 11/10. I absolutely recommend Maggie to anyone who wants someone to love their pups like their own.
Jennifer handled my scared and confused Great Dane beautifully. My dog is not aggressive, but she is timid and she repeatedly got herself scared and in tough situations and Jennifer stayed and above and beyond and handled the situation. She made me feel like my picky, sweet Giant dog was safe, and I can’t ask for more than that.
Chris was a great dog sitter! He was accommodating to a last minute change, a meet and greet before hand, and respectful of my home! He was punctual and caring for my little Fry Guy. I did not have any worries about my pup while Chris was watching him. I would recommend his services to anyone in need of a sitter!
Abigail watched house sat with our dogs and cats. They liked her from the start and even the shy cat came out for her. It was her 1st time here. She caught on quick, great communication and reached out for questions we did not cover in our meet and greet. We would definitely try to book her again! We highly recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fayetteville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fayetteville on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 365 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fayetteville. 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 Fayetteville 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 Fayetteville 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 Fayetteville 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.

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.
