“Debbie did a fantastic job taking care of my 4 dogs over the weekend. She was so personable, was excited to meet each dog, and lived on them like they were her own dogs. Debbie also took care of the house, straightened up prior to our return, and even washed the cloths I had left in the washer. I will definitely request Debbie next time I need a sitter.”
About: I have take care of many different pups of all breeds and personalities. This includes my own, family and friends, volunteering at shelters and even the local dog wash. I'm currently starting school part-time so I'll have plenty of time to walk, take care of, and play with your pets! I'm mostly available with flexibility and depending upon my schedule, some days I'm fully free! I'm very cautious in following instructions and needs of any pet. I'm good at keeping pups at a good walking pace, I love playing with pets to keep them active, and I'll set extra timers and keep set schedules for your pet's eating habits.
About: Experienced dog-sitter looking to serve clients in the North Alabama area! My father has a senior boxer mix whom I care for on my parents' vacations and my aunt has a West Highland Scottish White Terrier that I drop in daily to take care of on their vacations, all with walks, potty breaks, feeding and watering, and accident cleanup! Message me to book a service today 😊 I'm currently self employed and will soon be working on a training program for Spanish to English medical interpreting so generally, I can make time in any schedule to care for your pet! I treat your home as though it were my own and your pet as though he or she were my own. I've been taking care of my aunt's Westie for 2 years without incident and so I'm your guy if you want an attentive carer that isn't going to just be "in and out."
“Maria took excellent care of my babies and house. She provided daily updates with pictures. My house was left in perfect condition. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her for future visits.”
“Victoria is a nice lady and the dogs like her okay. But my roommate said that you did not do what I paid her to do. As in she did not walk the dogs one day and she had a hard time staying at the house if nobody was hanging out with her. If I had wanted to pay her for drop-ins I would have.”
“Sara was an amazing sitter for our senior dog Wiley over a week-long stay! She was very patient and understanding with Wiley's vision loss, gave her her daily eyedrops, and sent us updates and photos throughout the sit. She also left our apartment super clean and tidy, which was much appreciated when returning home after a long day of travel!! Thank you so much Sara!”
“Our dogs and our family loved Bethany. She put all our fears at ease, as we have never used a dog sitting service before. Scheduled a meet and greet before hand and was able to see personally that our dogs loved her as well as photos during her stay and updates. Our babies have a new best friend when Mom and Dad can’t be home. ❤️”
About: I've had a familiarity with animals since a child. I enjoy speaking( even though they dont speak back) and giving attention to pets to build a loving, trusting, bond I Am not very busy in general so am able to take care of companions at almost any time of the day or night as needed. I do not offer services pertaining to bringing the pet to my home, however, on our first meet, I will learn and cater to the best interest you have for your pet's care in your absence
“Aunya watched my dog for me while I was out of town. My dog is an anxious rescue, and Aunya did so well with her! I’m glad I could have someone trustworthy and reliable to care for my fur baby.”
About: Hello! I’m a life long animal lover and owner who understands that every furry friend has their own specific needs. Whatever your pet needs, I’m always happy to accommodate and ensure they feel safe, happy, and taken care of. I’ve taken care of family and friends animals all my life. From bunnies to Saint Bernard’s I’ve seen just about everything. I’m a college student that lives close to campus, so even with classes, I’ll be able to ensure your furry friend is taken care of! I am currently a softball player in college. While my weekdays can be a little busy, I live close to campus and have few in-person classes. Because of softball practice, I am not home for 3-4 hours most afternoons. I have an open yard and live walking distance from the Pulaski dog park. Your pet will have inside and outside time with ample opportunities to play, potty, and relax. I have a 2 year old female Lab in the home that loves to play and is quite energetic. Your pet will be cared for as one of my own and will be blessed with toys, treats, company, and love. I will openly accommodate your pets needs as I know every pet is different.
“Lauren was AMAZING!! One of my dogs can be a little timid with new people and she barked for maybe 10 seconds which was so insane to me. Her communication was amazing, the dogs absolutely loved her and she even made me ornaments with my pups paw prints on them!! 10/10 will be using her anytime my pups need a sitter!🤍”
“Stephen is awesome! He was able to accommodate us even though it was very short notice. We have 2 dogs, a small Maltese and a big Weimaraner. The big one can be imposing when you walk through the door and she barks at you with her hair standing on its ends, but Stephen immediately sat in the floor and let her get it all out of her system without a flinch. He knows how to put the pups at ease! My wife works from home and the dogs are used to someone always being there, Stephen is the first sitter we’ve had (and we’ve tried out several) that showed up with a suitcase! We knew immediately that this guy was what we have been searching for, someone that would basically live in our home while we were away with the sole purpose of watching over our furbabies. And he did his job impeccably! He sent lots of pics and video without us having to ask and was always prompt with a response if we ever needed him. When we returned home the house was still tidy and in order and I’m pretty sure the dogs looked past us trying to figure out where Stephen was, LOL. If you need a drop in visit or someone to come by and walk your dogs this guy can do it all and I promise your pets will look forward to him returning, and if you need someone that will basically live in your home with your furry loved ones while on vacation then look no further you have found the pinnacle of dog sitting! We will definitely use Stephen for any dog sitting needs we have in the future.”
About: I’ve been taking care of family and friends’ pets for years now. I’ve always been around different animals my whole life so I want to get out more and give my love to more pets! I’m currently working under a scholarship program during my college experience, so please take this into consideration when looking at my availability. My schedule changes weekly for now, however it will be Tues and Thurs during the fall and winter months, getting off around 4 pm. I strive to give them all the needs and wants through my visit. Giving treats when needed awarding and special loving attention to the sweet babes.
“Two, no FOUR paws way up!!! 🐾 Brooklyn was amazing. Communication is fabulous and our rowdy crew just adored her. She’s a lovely house guest, very clean and respectful. We would absolutely 10/10 recommend! Five ⭐️ !! I think my dogs (and cat who hides from everyone … but hung out with Brooklyn) can’t wait for us to leave town again so they can hang out with their favorite sitter!”

“Ren did a great job watching my guys. I appreciate her punctuality and following of care instructions. When I returned home my guys were relaxed and happy which gave me a good sense of contentment while I was away.”
About: I've had dogs and cats and taken care of dogs and cat all my life. I've had experience with puppies, Rottweilers, Great Danes, German Shepherds, Blue Heelers, Herding breeds, and small and medium sized mixed, rescue dogs. I also have a baby of my own, his name is TikoMan, and he is an energetic, loving border collie. Tiko is very smart and knows all kinds of tricks that I taught him, he is a picky eater, gets lots of cuddles, loves to run and play, and goes on all the trips we take. He loves the water! I have experience teaching puppies tricks, dealing with multiple dogs and cats at a time, understanding their overall needs (based on breed differences as well), and handling senior dogs and cats that may need additional care needs, medications, and assistance. I'm currently looking for full-time pet care for your needs - available at any time! I have a 3 bedroom home with an acre worth of yard if you need me to sit in my home. I can walk your pets, sit in your home for you to make your pet(s) most comfortable, and adhere to any feeding schedules, play, cleaning, and other needs to keep them happy! I have a big home and yard (it is unfenced but your dog will be okay if able to be off leash, or I can make sure he/she is leashed for peace of mind. I will adhere to any feeding, walking, and other needs per requested schedules, and am available to come to your home if preferred as I understand many would like to watch cameras and make sure all is well with your fur baby!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fayetteville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fayetteville on Rover is $29.97 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 326 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.
