“Brandy was great! Our dog is very shy and has some recent decrease in mobility so we needed someone we could trust was up to the task and Brandy definitely met her needs. She was great with our cat, too, and very respectful of our house. Very grateful to her and would definitely book her again.”
“I'm so happy I found Rebecca to care for my 2-year-old German Shepherd/Border Collie Mix. Pepper is a rescue and is always tentative around visitors and guests. I'm rarely separated from her and was worried about separation anxiety. But after a short time, Bernadette and Pepper were getting along very well. She is very gentle and loving and the only problem was Pepper wanting to shower her in affection! :). Rebecca stayed in my home and took care of everything while I was away. She is 100% trustworthy. I am happy to recommend Rebecca and won't hesitate to use her services again.”
“Sydnee took very good care of our dog, Gabriel while we were on vacation. Sydnee sent daily pictures and updates about our dog. I will definitely be rebooking with Sydnee in the future!”
“We have had Kaylee watch our dog and cat numerous times and we couldn’t ask for a better caretaker! She is hands down the best, we never have a worry when we are gone and our animals absolutely adore her. She sends the best pics/updates, and treats our animals as if they were her own. If you are in need of someone, no need to look any further, Kaylee is the perfect person to watch over your furbabies. We are so lucky! Thank you Kaylee!”
“Rosa is a fantastic house sitter and cat sitter. She went above and beyond to care for my cat and take care of my home. I felt at ease the whole time I was away.”
“Had a great experience with Gabriela staying the night at our place both my dog and my cat! Came home and everything was clean, and the pets were clearly well taken care of and happy :)”
“Olivia was really wonderful. She took great care of our pups and send regular updates and photos. She was great and communicating with us and very responsive to our messages. Will definitely hire her again!”
“I'm very happy with Maggie who stayed at my home with two dogs and a cat for 3 days, 2 nights. She's obviously an animal lover and they all like her. My home looked great on my return and all the pets were happy. I am using Maggie again in the near future and am comfortable recommending her for overnight stays.”
“Elizabeth was AMAZING!! She would send us updates on the regular, even when we did not ask her too but it was so welcomed since we were very nervous to be away from our two little dogs. She would send us videos and pictures! She left our home extremely clean as well. She is friendly and polite as well. I can not even begin to say one negative thing about her, I wish I could so no one else would want her lol just kidding! Please use her!! She is fantastic!!!”
“Caralisa took such great care of our kitty, we are definitely booking her again!!! Thank you for going the extra mile and giving us peace of mind while away on vacation🤍”
“This was our first booking with Marla. We scheduled a meet and greet and Marla was available and punctual. She has a very calm demeanor and our 3 dogs were very comfortable with her. We have a large German shepherd that has an intimidating bark and Marla was very calm with her. Marla sent me updates and photos everyday and took our dogs for walks. I came home to happy dogs. Marla also kept everything tidy in the house and dog poop was all picked up in the backyard. Marla also watered our plants and vegetables. I would definitely recommend Marla and rebook her again to watch our dogs.”
“Julia house sat for our dog while we were out of town and really put our mind at ease with daily pictures and updates. She was very communicative and Daisy seemed to really like and be comfortable with her. We’ll definitely use Julia as our sitter in the future!”
“Alivia did an amazing job with my reactive, 60 lb Old English Sheepdog. Willa took to her immediately, which is rare and means she has the BEST vibes. She stayed with Willa in our apartment while I was out of state, gave regular updates, wasn’t afraid to ask questions, and I arrived home to a happy, healthy sheepdog and a clean apartment.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Alyssa and Eve, our amazing pet sitters! From the moment they arrived to the moment we landed back safely in Cincinnati, they exceeded our expectations in every way. Their communication was exceptional, keeping us constantly updated with messages and loads of pictures. They stayed at our home and maintained everything wonderfully, showing incredible love and kindness to our three pets, each with their own unique personalities. One of our dogs is particularly anxious and doesn't handle change or thunderstorms well. Alyssa and Eve took special care of him, even turning on purple lighting and playing calming music to help him relax and cuddle. This thoughtful touch made a world of difference for our stressed pup. Our home was treated as if it were their own, and their attention to detail and respect for our space was evident. They spent time outside playing with the dogs, ensuring they got plenty of exercise and fun. They also made special time to play with our cat, ensuring every pet felt loved and attended to. Both Alyssa and Eve dedicated their days and evenings to our pets, providing them with constant companionship and care. Their dedication, compassion, and professionalism have truly set them apart. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such wonderful pet sitters and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of exceptional pet care.”
“Kaitlyn wall did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and three cats for an overnight. I would definitely recommend her. When she came to return the key, our dog went happily up to her and lay down at her feet—there’s the proof right there! Plus she sent pics of the animals and was a great communicator before, during, and after her stay.”
About: I have lots experience caring for dogs. I would help my neighbor with feeding, walking, and taking letting them out to potty! I also have had multiple overnight pet sitting jobs. I absolutely love helping take care of pups! I’m currently in college so I have lots of free time to go for walks or come over and play with them! I love physical activity and even more when animals are involved! I always but the dogs safety first! I know how to stay calm in emergency situations and I’m very responsible. I can send updates on the pups well-being however often you would like!
About: Hello I’m Bianca! I am entering my senior year at U of O, barista at Dutch, and I want to love/care for your fur kids! I grew up with 3 corgis in my family, so I learned daily dog care early on with walks, feeding schedules, and playtime. Since then, I’ve taken care of family dogs and dogs belonging to close family friends, and I even dog sat for a breeder with more than 10 dogs at once, so I’m familiar with managing multiple dogs with different personalities, and busy households. I treat every pet like my own and can’t wait to be their new bestie 😋 I work part-time at Dutch Bros, so my schedule shifts week to week and I don’t have fixed days off. That said, I’m generally very flexible and can definitely work around my shifts to fit in walks and drop ins. Just send me your dates and I’ll let you know what works! 😊 Since I’ll mostly be taking care of pets at your home, I like to stick as close as possible to their normal routine, feeding times, walks, and whatever you’re used to doing. I’m careful about stuff like keeping doors and gates shut, giving meds if needed, and just making sure your pet feels comfortable the whole time. I love sending updates and photos so you’re not stressing while you’re away!
“Ada was so good with my pup! She stayed overnight and sent picture updates while I was gone. She also left my place looking immaculate. Fantastic sitter - will definitely rebook!”
“It can be a bit scary to trust a brand new person with your house and your dog, but upon meeting LJ I knew I could be at peace while I was away. LJ was a fantastic dog and house sitter, easily reachable, and always providing updates on our baby girl. Our dog can have issues with other dogs but LJ and LJ’s pup both really navigated Leia’s dog insecurities and helped her feel safe while we were away. I will definitely be going back to LJ for future dog and house sitting!!”
“Felix was amazing would 10/10 recommend having them watch your pets, one of our cats broke his leg a few days before going out of town and Felix did a wonderful job keeping up with meds, feeding him with the cone on and keeping us updated through our trip so we had peace of mind! They left everything clean and tidy and I would not hesitate to re book!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Fern Ridge Shores
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fern Ridge Shores on Rover is $38.85 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 838 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fern Ridge Shores. 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 Ridge Shores 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 Ridge Shores 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 Ridge Shores 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
