“Booked Stephie last minute and she was super flexible for us when we needed it most! Our sweet girl Chica was taken care of and able to stay in the comfort of her own home. We will definitely be keeping her in mind for future bookings!”
About: I've taken care of friends and families' dogs and cats since highschool. Including full house sitting as well as dropping in for quick walks, potty breaks and feeding times. I'm currently working 35-40 hours a week weekdays and I'm off work on weekends. I'll have plenty of time in the evenings and mornings to take care of your pets during the week and I'm very available for them during the weekend "I provide safe care in your home by sticking to your pet's regular schedule. I make sure doors are locked, clean up any messes, and send you daily updates and pictures."
“Katie was great and extremely flexible with our travel delays. She took care of our lazy dog and grumpy cat and had excellent communication with us our entire trip. She took care of our house like it was her own.”
“Lauran did an excellent job! She was very communicative and took great care of our dogs and the house. She sent pictures and videos along with updates. Would book her again!”
“There are not enough words to praise Emily for the care she gave our baby!! It was the first time we ever left our dog with someone, and we were very nervous. That all disappeared the moment we met Emily. She was so good with our baby (and with us), that we knew we chose the perfect person. While we were gone, we received numerous photos and videos of our baby that proved to us that not only was she doing well, but she was happy, content, and was getting all the attention she needed. Emily stayed in our home; and when we returned, it was just as neat and clean as when we left it. Emily is the number one choice ALWAYS!!”
About: I’ve always been a dog lover, being a dog mom myself! I’ve taken care of dogs for my family, friends, and friends of friends for several years. Tending to every feeding, walk, fetch, cuddles, and dog park run! I work full time as a teacher and am a dog mom myself! I would love to help care for your furry friends on the weekends or in the evenings! I love walking and enjoying time outside with a furry friend to tag along! I have a fenced in backyard for the 3 furry friends in my home as well as a roommate with dog experience! Also experienced in crating if needed!
“Madison went above and beyond in every way. I cannot recommend her enough. She took such good care of our dogs while we were away, communicating throughout, and treated them like her own.”
“Ross was great! We requested a meet and greet before we set up an appointment and he was more than happy to come to the house a month ahead of time and meet our dogs. Our dogs welcomed him like he was one of the family. We knew then it was going to be a good match. Ross was outstanding when it came to communication. We were getting a little worried a few days before our vacation as we had some plans fall through with previous pet sitters. Then I received a text from Ross the following day just following up on what we needed from him. He did daily check ins with us and sent us a picture each day of our puppies. I remember saying on our last day of vacation - that I never felt so relaxed on a vacation because I for once didn’t have to worry about my dogs while I was gone. If we go on vacation, we would love for Ross to come to the house again - but if not able to - we surely hope the next person meets the standards he set in place. Thank you Ross!”
“I highly recommend Emmelea! This was our first time using her for an overnight stay, and she exceeded all expectations. Her communication was top-notch; we received regular updates and so many cute pictures that showed how happy and well-cared-for our pup was. She truly treated him like her own. We feel so lucky to have found her and will 100% book with her again!”
“We didn’t get to use Diane this time. Our 14 year old Border Collie, Mouse, passed right before Diane was supposed to sit. My husband ended up canceling his trip and stayed home with our cats. However, Diane was very professional and friendly during our meet and greet and extremely empathetic upon finding out about Mouse.”
“Joanna was amazing! She's a great communicator, sent lots of pictures and took great care of the boys! She's neat and trustworthy and we will definitely have her back!”
“Madison did an amazing job pet-sitting for our golden retriever, Charlie, and our cat, Beesly. She followed all of our instructions carefully, gave both pets excellent care, and treated our home with respect while staying there. We came home to happy pets and everything exactly as we left it, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and we would absolutely book with her again!”
“Desiree is awesome! I greatly appreciate her being available last minute, working with my schedule for a meet and greet the day before, and taking amazing care of my 2 pups! The love and attention she showed them was exactly what I hoped for. Will definitely use her in the future.”
About: I absolutely adore animals and have a lot of experience with them. I have owned many birds, small animals, rodents, and cats and have taken care of other people's dogs since childhood. I have rescued and rehabilitated many animals including cats and various wildlife. I have experience with baby animals that require bottle feeding around the clock and that require help to urinate and defecate. I have administered medications to all sorts of animals and provided care after surgeries. Any animal under my wing receives the absolute best care. I am home every single day of the week and am able to provide your pet/s with the undivided love, attention, and play they deserve. I have kennels, cat toys, litter boxes, bird cages, treats, leashes, harnesses, and collars for all sorts of animals, as well as medical equipment on hand.
“Kaitlyn was absolutely a saving grace staying at our home and taking care of our fur babies. She is so amazing with our young dogs, energetic, bratty, and crazy as they are. She is patient and our chiweenie (who does NOT like strangers) was napping in her lap within 2 days. (We were SHOOK) She sends pictures several times a day along with any funny moments or important updates. (Which put our minds at ease our entire trip). Our fur babies are our children and having someone who we now trust and is so amazing with them… it’s such a weight lifted. It’s a miracle to find someone like Kaitlyn. 11/10 recommend her!”
“Catherine was great with our pups! She saved us in a pinch and booked us last minute so we could make our concert! She was very tentative when we gave her instructions and had no issues bonding right to our 3 babies. If we are ever in Louisville again and need our pups watched, she will be our first call! We also got video and picture updates the entire time we were gone! Top tier service!”
“Shawn was great and I've already booked her again for another upcoming trip. Came home to a happy puppers and a clean house. She kept him in his routine which is a big plus for a rescue.”
“This is the second time we have used Kai as a sitter and she takes fabulous care of our fur baby!! You can tell he is spoiled with attention and I get plenty of photo updates while I am gone so I am not stressed!”

We had a great experience with Saraia and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care. From the start, communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring. We received regular updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. It was obvious our dogs were being treated with genuine care and attention—not just watched, but truly looked after. We came home and our dogs were happy, relaxed, and well taken care of, which says everything. Saraia followed all instructions perfectly, including feeding schedules, walks, and other needs. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and feel very fortunate to have found someone so dependable and kind.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fern Creek
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fern Creek on Rover is $44.4 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 770 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fern Creek. 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 Fern Creek 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 Fern Creek 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 Fern Creek 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.
