“Peter came through for me last minute! He suggested a meet and greet the day before. Peter updated me daily with photos of penthouse. I came back a little later than expected due to my flight, and I'm so grateful I didn't have to worry about my dog because Peter came through last moment for me. Thank you so much!! I will be using him again 💖”
“Alicia stayed at our home for the weekend and took care of our 2 small dogs. They can be barky but they seemed to relax around her pretty quickly. She sent several pix -our doxie was snuggling up to her the same night we left and our nervous chihuahua was in out in the yard wagging away the next day. The house was the same as we left it. We would definitely book Alicia again 😀”
“Nathan took excellent care of our dog and cat, making sure to clarify instructions for medications, etc. When our flight was cancelled last minute, he was kind enough to stay another night at very short notice, which we greatly appreciated! He left the house very clean and tidy. We will certainly book him again.”
“Autumn was Fabulous!! She is friendly, a great communicater, and sent me pictures throughout her time in my house. I have 3 goldendoodles and they gave her a 5 out of 5 review. Just watching my girls interact with her gave me such peace. The pictures captured their personalities and their smiles. I highly recommend Autumn for your pets needs.”
“Wonderful house sitter & took terrific care of our cat Oscar. Deborah leapt in to help us on short notice when another Rover sitter bailed the night before she was due to start. My wife and I highly recommend Deborah and would be happy to use her again.”
“Chris was amazing! He took great care of Anubis and kept an eye on our home. We feel comfortable continuing to travel knowing we can leave our pet(s) in reliable hands. Thank you and we look forward to requesting you again!”
About: Hello! My name is Victoria, and I’ve had a passion for animals for as long as I can remember. I volunteered with a local dog rescue where I fostered many dogs, helping them feel safe, loved, and prepared for their forever homes. Growing up, I also volunteered in both dog and cat shelters, giving me experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends since I was little and have also built my own client base through Facebook and other dog walking apps. I truly love animals and treat every pet with the same love, patience, and respect I would give my own, so you can feel confident they’ll be in caring hands. I have a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine! * Monday & Tuesday: I work from home, so I have flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care throughout the day. * Saturday through Tuesday: I’m available for walks and visits at almost any time. * Wednesday through Friday: I work in the office, so morning walks are available around 6:30–7:30 AM, and evening walks or drop-in visits are available starting around 5:30 PM. If your pet has a specific schedule or unique needs, feel free to reach out—I’m always happy to see if we can make it work! Safety, Trust & Environment Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and daily routines to keep your pet happy and comfortable in their own home. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Please note that I provide care in clients’ homes only and do not offer boarding in my home.
“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.”
“Christina was great & took the time to get to know our puppy Coco before we went on vacation. She sent us regular photos, videos & updates (she should be a photographer 📷). She took Coco for walks & played with her. We highly recommend Christina for taking care of and loving on your pet. We will definitely have her watch Coco again.”
“Christi was FANTASTIC!! Our dog and cat both loved her. She is a very nice person and a great pet sitter. We will be using her services again in the future!”
“Lucia was lovely. Very friendly, punctual, and responsible. Also, the cats enjoyed her company. ;) There was a cat left outside in the hallway, and she helped them; that's how kind she is. I highly recommend her.”
“Sara took amazing care of Prim. My dog had a vacation while I was away and it was very clear that she enjoyed herself. My dog is 14years old so she can't be easy at times but Sara had patience with her and took great care of her. Thank you.”
“Natalie took great care of Lily for 4 drop in visits! She sent me videos and pics and everything was just how I left it when I got home! Will be re booking her in the future….thank you Natalie!”
“We love Taylor! She took the time for a meet & greet beforehand to get to know my kitty and his routine. She is responsible, trustworthy, compassionate towards animals, communicative, and detail oriented. I had no stress while I was away for several days as she took great care of him, and sent updates daily. Would definitely recommend and book again :)”
“Zach house sat for us and took great care of our two American Bullys (Zeus and Brinks). He pays close attention to detail and has great communication. He goes above and beyond to keep the house clean and tidy. We will definitely be using him in the future!”
“As always had another great experience with Lexus dog sitting our senior dog. Can’t say enough positive things about her professionalism and attention to detail.”
“Sydnie was very easy to communicate with and reached out with any issues. Our home is as we left it and the animals are in good shape. We thought it would be hard to find a sitter with only 2 weeks notice after our original fell through, but Sydnie was a great match. She literally saved our vacation. Thanks for staying at the house and watching Moose, Sydnie!”
“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! :)”

Victoria took great care of our dogs while we were traveling, she communicated with us, sent pictures and videos. We would get updates to know the dogs were well taken care of care of, and if she had a concern, she would ask. We would definitely use Victoria again!
We’re so happy to have found Maria! From the very beginning, she was kind, caring, dependable, and genuinely attentive to our pets’ needs. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our furry family members are in such good hands. We’re incredibly grateful to have found another Rover house sitter we can trust!!
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!!
Taylor was incredible! We recently traveled out of the country and we were really nervous about leaving our dog for the first time. From the moment we met Taylor all of our worries went away. She’s super sweet and made us feel really comfortable about leaving our little one. She sent us pictures and videos every day, and our dog loved her. We will definitely use her for all future travels, and would recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter. :)
Ashlee came out to do a meet and great with our dogs the day I messaged her about a possible over night stay. The day of arrival to see how the dogs acted towards her was greatly appreciated. She sent me more photo updates than I think any other dog sitter we have used before. She also let us know how often they went out and how they did with eating our food. Then she texted later that day to make sure we arrived home and to ask how our dogs were when we arrived home. Very thorough and thoughtful, we would use her again.
Nathan took excellent care of our dog and cat, making sure to clarify instructions for medications, etc. When our flight was cancelled last minute, he was kind enough to stay another night at very short notice, which we greatly appreciated! He left the house very clean and tidy. We will certainly book him again.
Izzi did a phenomenal job caring for our SIX cats and TWO dogs a puppy golden retriever and senior Shiba Inu ! And cats of all ages including senior kitties. We truly felt at ease and relaxed on vacation knowing our babies were in amazing hands. She spent a lot of time with them, followed instructions exactly, asked questions, was extremely communicative, and she took many photos and videos that helped us feel relaxed on vacation. We are very attached to our babies and protective and it has been a long time since we have been on vacation but Izzi made us feel comfortable to do more trips since we trust her with our babies fully. She is a true animal lover and we highly recommend her!
We could not have been happier with our decision to use Rebecca. She took amazing care of our senior pug, Tater. Her responses were always timely and she was awesome about sharing pictures throughout our time away. This was a great first experience with Rover and we cannot recommend Rebecca enough.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fern Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fern Park on Rover is $33.3 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 3,072 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fern Park. 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fern Park. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
