“Peter is wonderful to work with. He has sat our pittie a few times now and is loved by our pup! Peter was on time and this time I forgot to leave instructions out so he confirmed our pups care prior to anything. We will definitely use his services again thank you Peter!”
“Jennifer was WONDERFUL!! 💕👍😊... After having a horrific experience with a supposed 'Star Sitter', Jennifer came to the rescue ❤️🎉. I will be eternally grateful that she was able to jump in and show her kindness and care for my elderly pup. A million thank you's Jennifer! I would definitely use your services again!”
“Christi was great with my dog and sent multiple pictures of her while she was out on walks. My apartment was just as clean as what I left it too. Definitely recommend her!”
“Christina did great with the drop-in visits for my kittens! She made me feel comfortable being away and she followed the instructions left for her perfectly. Would definitely recommend her and use her again :)”
“Maria and Jose were great with drop-ins. They were very friendly, timely, and professional. I definitely plan on using them again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone.”
“Zack has been amazing! He is very thorough and wants to do a good job. Great communication, reliable, and responsible. Sends pics and video and keeps you update on how the visits went. We will definitely continue to use him.”
About: Extremely grateful to be able to do this for work, I’m very passionate about animals and my love for them. I’m very responsible and reliable, I have been watching houses and pets since I was a little girl. I have experience with puppies as well as kittens, and senior dogs too. I have experience bottle feeding, and administering medicine. It’s something I feel very comfortable with! I love watching and keeping your home and fur babies safe! Hope to see you soon! Currently I have class Mondays and Wednesdays but I am available after and before! For the rest of the week I am available and open to being flexible! I would treat your home and family just as I would my own. I’m neat, organized, and high energy so I don’t mind long walks. I also am extremely aware of my surroundings, and vigilant. Happy to help any way I can!
“Jennifer was awesome! She showed up right on time, took such great care of our pups, and didn’t miss a beat cleaning up after them. She kept us in the loop the whole time, which we really appreciated. We’d definitely book her again!”
About: I have experience petsitting and working at a doggy dagcare. I've cared for pets with different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for puppies and understand the patience and attention they require. I have also recently started fostering with a local rescue! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate walks and visits at different times throughout the day. And I am available for any overnight! I am super careful with watching your pet and making sure they do not get into anything they are not supposed to get in to. I am such a helicopter mom to my pets so I will treat them as my own and always keep my eyes on them and stay engaged!
About: The passing of my beloved Birch, a 9-year-old shepherd x border collie mix, in February of 2025, was a turning point in my life. After losing my marketing job in August of 2024, I decided to follow my passion for animals and look for ways to bring in income while focusing on what truly brings me joy. Rover allows me to dedicate nearly unlimited time and flexibility to the care of your cherished fur family—and beyond. With over 15 years of animal care experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs, cats, small critters (like rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and ferrets), horses, goats, chickens, and I also specialize in cleaning and caring for aquariums and aquascapes up to 150 gallons. From puppy training and basic manners to providing senior care and managing multi-animal households, I have the skills and knowledge to cater to the unique needs of your pets. I’m experienced in recognizing animal body language, offering wound care, and performing basic grooming tasks such as paw trimming and nail clipping. I offer not only the essentials of pet care but also specialized services, including training, fun outings, and overnight stays (both in your home or mine). I believe in building a strong foundation of trust with your pets, allowing them to feel comfortable and secure in their environment. As a secondary passion, I’m also a baker and offer homemade dog treats by the dozen, as well as fresh food meal prep. For meal prep, I ask that you provide the ingredients, and there is a small additional labor charge for the preparation. I can tailor the meals to your pet's dietary restrictions and preferences, ensuring they get exactly what they need to stay happy and healthy. My goal is to treat your pets like my own—with kindness, patience, and an unwavering commitment to their well-being. I look forward to meeting your furry, scaly, and feathery companions and providing the loving care they deserve! I work part-time with flexible hours, which allows me to offer tailored care for your pets. While I generally do not offer early morning visits on weekdays unless I’m already at your home, I am available starting at 11:30 AM and onward. I have the flexibility to accommodate midday, evening, and overnight care. As I do not currently have pets of my own, I’m able to offer both hosting and overnight stays at your home, either during the week or on specified weekends, ensuring your pet is in a comfortable and familiar environment. I’m happy to work with your schedule to provide the care and attention your pets deserve! Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, whether they’re in my home or yours. I live in a spacious one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment, all on one level—no stairs involved—providing a comfortable and secure environment for your pets. My apartment is located in a complex that is extremely pet-friendly, with designated pet areas and a community that is welcoming to animals. The neighborhood is well-maintained and safe, offering plenty of clean and secure spaces for walks and potty breaks. While my home is cozy, I can only accommodate up to two pets at a time to ensure each one receives the individual attention they deserve. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly space, free from hazards, and I create a calm and relaxing atmosphere for pets to enjoy. They have plenty of space to move around, whether they prefer to lounge or play. I also ensure close supervision to help your pets feel safe and secure. When staying at your home, I respect your pet’s routines and environment to minimize any stress and ensure consistency. I take the time to familiarize myself with their daily habits, preferences, and any special needs to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for, just like they would in their own home. Whether I’m offering overnight stays, hosting, or daily visits, I’m committed to providing a safe and trustworthy experience for both you and your pets. You’ll receive daily updates to ensure peace of mind, knowing your pets are in good hands.
“I was concerned about hiring someone to watch my cat for 10 days and found Gwen. She was awesome, kept me updated with pictures and texts of how my cat was doing, which made me more at ease. Gwen is very kind, considerate and I will definitely be using her again.”
About: Pet parents love leaving their dogs in my care because they know they don’t have to worry. I take the time to learn your dog’s routine, send regular updates with quality photos, and provide a cozy home sanctuary where your pup will be loved and cared for like my own. I provide exclusive and personalized care by hosting dogs from only one family at a time, ensuring a true home-away-from-home experience. I’m an artist working out of my home studio, allowing plenty of flexibility throughout the week to offer hands-on care. I’m also available most weekends for boarding. Your dog will spend the day in a calm, loving home with a large, fully fenced yard — perfect for play, sunbathing, and safe exploration. Inside, pets enjoy a relaxed environment with cozy rest areas and plenty of attention. We will enjoy multiple walks per day in a quiet and safe neighborhood.
“Sarah is fabulous and our little Nikita looks forward to seeing her on every visit! Very reliable, great at reporting back on how the visit went, and really a great find. She loves our pup almost as much as we do!???”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fern Park
Maria was super accommodating with my last minute booking and time adjustment. The boys were so excited to see her!! Chewie was so happy to have a nighttime walk, and Oreo enjoyed a leisurely dinner and yard time. She left them with relaxing music and lighting, so they could rest peacefully until our return! I always trust Maria to take great care of our boys 💕🐾
I cannot recommend Isabella enough! From the start, she blew us away during the meet-and-greet by arriving early and taking her genuine time getting detailed instructions and getting to know the pups. We needed someone for a drop-in visit for our three dogs, including our senior dog, Odin, who is usually very hesitant and doesn't like new people. Isabella effortlessly tended to all of them—Odin, Clemson, and Tiger—at once. She was incredibly patient, gentle, and knew exactly how to approach Odin to make him feel safe. I was so relieved to see how calm and comfortable he was in the updates, and Clemson and Tiger were just as happy and well-cared for. It is rare to find someone who can manage multiple dogs while winning over an anxious senior pup so quickly. If you have a multi-dog household or a sensitive pet who needs a truly professional, compassionate touch, book Isabella immediately!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fern Park is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,385 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fern Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fern Park. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
