“This is the second time Tim has watched our dog, Emory, and I couldn't recommend him more! He's incredibly flexible, easy to communicate with, and truly loves dogs. Emory absolutely loves staying with him, and he and Tim’s dog, Oliver have become the best of friends. Tim kept me updated regularly with photos and messages, and I never had to worry about travel delays because he has always been so accommodating. It's such a relief knowing Emory is safe, happy, and so well cared for.”
“Perri is a fantastic house/dog sitter!!! We received countless photos every day of our dog Murph looking very content, happy, and well taken care of. We would highly recommend Perri!!”
“Carolann did a fantastic job caring for our dog while we were out of town. Her expertise with foster and rescue dogs was a huge asset, as our dog is recently adopted and still very shy with new people. Carolann's patience and gentleness with him set him at ease and allowed her to give him a high level of care. We would definitely work with Carolann again!”

“Lindsey did a great job taking care of our 3 fur babies while we were gone. She kept in contact with us everyday when she was leaving and returning as well as some adorable pictures of them all snuggling together while watching a movie. Lindsey left everything the way she found it and took great care of everything in our home as well. The pups were very happy when we returned home and were not stressed out at all. We will definitely use Lindsey again and highly recommend her.❤️”
“Katie is nothing short of amazing. There is always a little anxiety when leaving your pets to go away but I have never felt more comfortable with any other dog sitter than I did with Katie. She gave constant updates and pics to show us our little guy was be well cared for and having a blast! Katie is so sweet and kind and you can tell she has a true love for animals. We are so thankful we found her and will definitely be using her again!!!!”
“We had a great experience! Claire was easy to communicate with, kept us updated with photos throughout the stay, and took wonderful care of our dogs. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands while on vacation. We would definitely book with Claire again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Words cannot explain how at peace we were with Gabriella being at our house for 2 weeks and taking care of our fur babies! The boys were well loved and taken care of, the house was spotless and the communication was top notch! Don't hesitate for a single second, she is the best one out there!!”

About: I’ve been caring for cats for many years and have experience pet sitting for both cats and dogs for friends and family. While my background is stronger with cats, I’m comfortable handling the day-to-day needs of dogs as well, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and maintaining routines. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I make it a priority to carefully follow any instructions regarding feeding, medications, dietary restrictions, routines, or other special care needs. Because I work remotely, I’m also able to spend much more time at home with pets than many sitters can, which means more company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I currently work remotely on a typical Monday–Friday daytime schedule and am able to work from anywhere within the state, which means I can comfortably set up my work-from-home station while house and pet sitting. This allows me to be much more present and attentive throughout the day compared to sitters who may be away for long periods of time. My work is also fairly flexible, allowing me to adjust meetings and tasks as needed to help accommodate feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, and other routine care. Weekends are typically very open for me as well, giving me even more flexibility and availability for your pets’ needs. I currently have two cats of my own: Draco, an 11-year-old part Manx, and Loki, a 6-year-old black American Shorthair. I’ve had both of them since they were kittens, and caring for them has given me years of hands-on experience with maintaining routines, monitoring health, and creating a calm, safe environment for pets. Draco previously needed some extra attention with his weight and diet, and through a consistent feeding routine and focused care, he was able to lose over 10 pounds and maintain a much healthier lifestyle. That experience reinforced for me how important consistency, patience, and closely following care instructions can be for pets. Loki is a rescue and can be a little shy at first, so I also understand the importance of giving pets time to adjust, respecting their comfort levels, and helping anxious pets feel safe and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to maintain their normal routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Katie was exceptional. My dog was a handful and she called me when necessary to work out problems. She gave the appropriate medication when necessary, went out and found her a t-shirt and socks and bought her wipes and medicated oatmeal for itching. The house was in very good condition when I arrived.”
“Not everyone loves Velcro dogs but Becca clearly gave our fur kids all the snuggles and pets they demanded. She was communicative, did a meet and greet ahead of time, and I would not hesitate to book her again! Gilly and Logan (and our house) were well taken care of!”
“Rusul handled a long-term stay in our home with our two dogs with the greatest of ease. Our dogs thrive with her care and our home was well watched after as well!. She kept us well informed with great photos.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Fenton is $50

Samantha is absolutely amazing! She is so sweet and flexible, which made booking with her incredibly easy. After meeting her, we felt completely comfortable having her stay with our hounds. She sent us daily updates with photos and even brought a package inside for us. We will definitely reach out to her the next time we go out of town. Highly recommend Samantha! ❤️
Carolann did a fantastic job caring for our dog while we were out of town. Her expertise with foster and rescue dogs was a huge asset, as our dog is recently adopted and still very shy with new people. Carolann's patience and gentleness with him set him at ease and allowed her to give him a high level of care. We would definitely work with Carolann again!
Ryan was AMAZING!! She took such great care of our cat and dog for a week while we were gone. She went the extra mile for us in several ways and always provided excellent communication. I cannot recommend her enough - our pets immediately took to her. We will definitely use her again.
Maya was amazing! She checked in on Joey multiple times throughout the day and was great at updating me with pictures of them playing, going on walks, or just hanging out at the house. She was very trustworthy and did a great job communicating. Joey loved her and was in great spirits when I got home from my trip. I will definitely be rebooking Maya for future pet care.
Amy was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs, bunny, and fish while we were away. She went above and beyond to make sure all of our pets were well cared for, happy, and comfortable. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. Communication was excellent, and it was obvious she truly cares about animals. Out of 10, she is definitely a 10! We would absolutely have Amy as our sitter again and 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fenton on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,581 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fenton. 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 Fenton 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 Fenton 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 Fenton 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.
