“Ryan was a wonderful companion for our dog Bailey. She played Frisbee and tug with her daily. She communicated with us every day with pictures. I felt very confident that Bailey was well cared for while we were gone. I'm so happy to have found her!”
“Nicki did an outstanding job housings sitting and watching both of my pups. She walked them, cleaned up after herself and the pups (including the backyard), and communicated regularly. Highly recommend!”
“Total peace of mind! It’s hard to find someone you trust with your home and your pets, but Samantha exceeded all expectations. Our dogs were happy and calm when we returned.”
“Emily was wonderful with my slow-to-warm up little dog. She asked questions about his needs beforehand, took great care of him while I was away, sent pictures and updates, and left my house just the way I left it. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
About: I love and treat my dogs like family, and will do the same for yours! Growing up, I had experience with all types of dogs in my household! From hyper, playful and energetic, to calm, quiet, and shy, there was no shortage of variety as to the type of dog my family adopted, and was definitely no shortage of unconditional love I gave them! My experience with dog walking and sitting goes back to high school. I was always that family friend you'd call to care for your pets while you were on vacation! Whether it's 1 dog or 3 dogs at a time, no pup is ever left out, and I always balance my attention to each dog and their needs, ensuring their safety and well-being at all times. There is no shortage of love and attention from me when it comes to your dogs! Having 2 large dogs of my own, I understand the need for finding someone you can wholeheartedly trust to care for your fur baby (or babies). I am comfortable around dogs of all shapes and sizes! Both of my dogs have anxious tendencies, and one in particular can be very reactive, nervous, and sometimes aggressive, but through trust, patience, and love, I have been able to develop a loving and nurturing bond with them both, and have no doubt I can do the same with yours! I hope to meet your dog(s) soon! 🫶🏼🐶🐕 I can provide daily care for your dog(s) or cat(s) - whatever their needs may be! My schedule is very flexible and can easily be worked out to whatever your needs may be! I trust and understand the importance of keeping people’s homes their safe spaces for their pet(s)! I will follow any and all guidelines or expectations you have for your home whenever I am there to care for your furry friends! I always treat other’s homes like my own - with love and respect!
“Kat was great! I was in a last minute crunch to find a sitter and she came through eager and experienced! 🙌🏽 The meet and greet went well and she handled my big 97lb baby beautifully. Plenty of updates and the house was clean upon return. Would definitely recommend. Thanks Kat!”
“Jennifer was a fun, attentive, affectionate and responsible caregiver for my 7 month old kitten. She played with her a lot, fed her and cleaned out her litter regularly, and sent me lots of pictures and messages updating me on my kitten’s days. She also went above and beyond on cleaning my house and laundering the linens before I got home. Totally unnecessary, but very much appreciated. I would highly recommend her services.”
“Maya was great! She made sure to get all important information beforehand and even offered to meet Winston before watching him. She communicated throughout the time and sent a picture. She is very nice and you can tell she really cares about your pet :)”
“I cannot recommend Alex enough. We had just moved to St Louis and had a family emergency which took us out of town last minute and for quite some time. Alex went above and beyond while we were away. He sent so maybe updates and truly loved our dogs while we were away. Thank you so much, Alex!!”
“Lindsey was great with our girls and cat. She communicated with us daily when she was leaving the house and getting home. She sent photos and kept us updated on how the dogs and cat were doing. It put us at ease knowing they were being taken care of. We will definitely be using her again.”
“We were very upfront with Marsha that our rescue dog can be slightly aggressive and does not like strangers—we had almost given up on finding a sitter. Although Marsha never rushed the process, always listened to our concerns, and used techniques that helped our pup build trust slowly. She’s a great communicator with lots of messages, pictures and video. It was so nice to be away and not feel concerned. She’s a great sitter for anxious pups!”
“Lesley takes such good care of our pup! She stays in contact, sends pics and gives updates. I appreciate how respectful she is of our home and the care she took for a few extra tasks while we were away!”
“Katie did a wonderful job dog sitting for us. She kept us informed of how the dogs where doing and what they were up to. The dogs looked healthy and happy when we returned home. We would definitely book Katie again.”
“Eleanor did a fantastic job looking after my little princess Pom while I was out of town for the night. Bea was happy when I got home, and Eleanor left my place neat and tidy. Eleanor is great with communication and sent lots of pics. We’re already booked for my next trip!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Fenton is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fenton
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.
Carolann 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.

Abby is great! My dogs are a little skeptical of people they don’t know but accepted Abby pretty quickly. This is the second time I have used her to house sit and have been very happy with her. She is friendly, reliable and respects your property. I would highly recommend her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fenton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fenton on Rover is $48.84 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 1,644 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.

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.
