About: Ever since I was little I've always had a special connection with animals. My life has always been with my lovely pets. I love animals so much that I used to be a pet groomer just because I was so passionate about spending time with dogs and cats. I've taken care my family's pets before, provided full care: feed walk, bathe and even taken them to their vet appointment. Me and my husband are remote workers 100% we can fully dedicate and watch over your cute pups. We're off during the weekends and that's no problem because we have more time to provide attention to your pets I live in a nice and quiet neighborhood. I have a fenced backyard which is very spacious for potty and play time. My house is comfortable and accommodating if a kennel is required to be set up for your pet
“Tori was amazing! Punctual, dependable and so sweet! We received daily updates from Tori showing how our fur baby was doing which gave us comfort while away. She is a fantastic pet sitter who we highly recommend! :)”
“Deborah did a fantastic job watching buddy. She kept us informed daily and even sent us photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. we will use her for sure going forward, thank you again Deborah”
“Kailey was amazing! She took wonderful care of Diesel and gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated with photos, communicated quickly anytime I had a question, and was incredibly responsible throughout the entire stay. I also came home to a very clean and tidy house, which I really appreciated. I felt completely comfortable knowing Diesel and my home were in good hands. I would absolutely book Kailey again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Bailey takes such good care of our pups, she is responsive, ensures all needs are met and we have never had any problems after multiple sits. We will definitely continue to have her sit in the future.”
“Anastasia always does a great job taking care of Tomi. Tomi is very stubborn but Anastasia is very patient with her. She also communicates well with me while I’m away.”
“Sonal was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly thorough and detailed, and warm & attentive to our babies. She kept us updated with photos and reports, and kept us at ease during our vacation. 10/10 will try to book again. :)”
About: I have had chocolate labs my whole life. From crazy puppies to gray seniors, so I am very comfortable with all the stages of a dog's life, including puppy energy and older dogs who need a gentler pace. One of my labs was 100+ lbs, so I am confident handling bigger, stronger dogs too, not just small or medium breeds. I also had a cat for 10+ years, so I am comfortable around other pets and know how to help dogs and cats coexist peacefully if needed. Beyond my own pets, I dog sit for family friends, so caring for animals outside my own home is second nature to me. Whatever size or stage your dog is in, I will treat them with the same patience and love I give my own. I recently graduated from college, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am home most days, which means I can give dogs lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I also have my own dog, so caring for pets is already part of my daily routine—from feeding and potty breaks to making sure they get plenty of love and exercise. I am happy to work around your pet's schedule and provide the care they need, whether that's early mornings, evenings, or throughout the day. Your pet's safety and comfort will always be my top priority. At my home, I have a fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get some fresh air while always being supervised. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will do my best to keep them on their normal routine with consistent feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I know every pet is different, so I am happy to follow any instructions you leave to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I also will not leave pets alone for long periods because they deserve companionship and quality care while you are away. If your dog needs to be watched inside my home, it is important to know that have chocolate lab. He is 8 years old and he is super friendly and gets along well with other dogs.
“Charity was punctual, communicative and shared photos throughout her stay. I felt confident that my pups were loved and well taken care of during her stay, and didn't worry the entire time I was gone. Thanks, Charity! We look forward to seeing you soon!”
“We had an emergency midway through a weeklong stay and had to come back and leave again. Gwen was absolutely amazing and extremely accommodating to the last minute change in plans. So SO grateful to have her and Trevor here in an emergency and to be SO flexible! I never have to worry about the dogs when they are here!”
“I booked JaRavia at the last minute, and she was incredibly flexible with scheduling a meet-and-greet. During the boarding, she was patient and understanding with my shy dog, Bear, who can be a bit distant. She checked in frequently, and by the end of the visit, Bear had started to trust her. I highly recommend JaRavia for her kindness and love of animals!”
About: I’m a dog mom to two miniature Goldendoodles, Haze and Haeming, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. My experience comes from caring for my own dogs, including feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping up with their daily routines. For walks and house sitting, I’ll follow your care instructions, respect your home, and send photos and updates so you know how your pets are doing. I’d love to meet you and your dog beforehand to learn about their personality, routine, and needs. I have a flexible schedule for dog walks and overnight house sitting. I’ll agree on care times with you before booking and follow your pet’s usual feeding, walking, and bedtime routines. I’ll respect your home and follow your pet’s care instructions closely. On walks, I’ll keep your dog leashed and avoid unfamiliar animals. I’ll check that doors and gates are secure and send photos and updates throughout the stay.
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a child. My dog passed and since have focused on helping friends, family, and associates care for their beloved pets. I work full time but have a flexible schedule and the ability to work remotely if needed. I am an early riser but also happy to accommodate late night visits and over night stays. I currently do not pet sit in my home but am happy to make as many trips as needed to your location, work from your location during the day, or stay overnight if preferred.
“Tara was very prompt with responding to messages , and kept us updated (including pics) on our pup while she was sitting for us. She has a very easy going manner, which I'm sure helps keep an anxious pup like ours calm.”

I can provide care before work, during my break when location and timing allow, and after work. In the evenings, I can stay at your home to give your pets plenty of love, attention, playtime, and companionship. I am also saving for PTA school, which I plan to start in January.

Peter did a fantastic job watching our pets while we were out of town. He was quick to communicate and kept us updated on how they were doing. Our dogs warmed up to him super quickly too, so we know that they felt very comfortable with him. We would definitely recommend him for anyone looking for a kind, caring sitter for your pets!
Anneke was a literal dream! This is the first time I've ever had a non-family member watch Rocco and she was so communicative and understanding. She was so good with Rocco and I felt so comfortable with her there. 10/10 all around. We will definitely be booking her again and again!
Ashlee is an incredible pet sitter who truly cares! We have three senior pets with special needs. We were afraid to leave them for the weekend so we needed someone who we knew would do an amazing job. Ashlee was amazing. She stayed at our home with the pets and checked in with status updates constantly so that we were not left wondering how they were doing. She was able to give all three senior pets all of their medicines, including our two cats, and that is never an easy task. She was loving with our pets because when we came home, none of the animals were stressed and acted like we’d only been gone for an hour or two. The house was immaculate and she gave us updates before leaving and sent us pictures all weekend. We will definitely keep having Ashlee care for our pets. Highly recommend!!
Wynn took excellent care of our pets! We have a big fur crew and I get nervous giving the responsibility to someone, but I had peace of mind on my trip which made a world of difference. She Did everything I asked her to do and sent me detailed updates and photos daily. Communication was great and our cats and dogs got plenty of attention. We have already booked her again. She is a 10 star sitter!!

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 Park 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 Park 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 Park 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
