“Saint loved her as soon as he met her, which was a great sign! She was so caring, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated with pictures. We really appreciated how great she was with him and would definitely recommend her! 🐾❤️”
“Alexys did a great job with our kitten and puppy. She kept us updated on how they were doing. Our puppy is skittish around new people and things and she was able to win him over. She was also very professional and our home was as we left it. We will be using her again in a few days after having her here for the past week.”
“Shannon saved us this weekend taking care of our cat and dog! Due to some unforeseen circumstances we needed Shannon at a moments notice and she so graciously cared for our animals and home all weekend. She was very communicative and both our animals loved her. Pretty sure my dog had the time of her life this past weekend. Would definitely recommend!”
“Gabe is always great with our pup! So grateful for his care and professionalism. He gives Jax all the attention he needs and always leaves our home spotless!”
“Makaylah was great for Marcus. I really appreciated that she stuck to his puppy routine while I was gone so that he right away felt comfortable and safe with her. Even the staff in the front office of my building remarked how happy Marcus looked whenever they saw her coming in and out of the building with him on walks. She also went the extra mile and washed the sheets and remade the bed before she left. I will definitely request her for Marcus again!”
“Ceara was an outstanding caretaker for our pets (and our home!). We sincerely can't say enough positive things.....she gave our pets their medicine on schedule, tolerated their following her around incessantly, cared for our home including watering our plants, and her daily communications were always positive and friendly. We would request Ceara again without hesitation. Thank you to Ceara and Rover!”
“Julie accepted my last-minute booking without hesitation, and I'm so grateful she was available! She was incredibly responsive, kept me updated, followed every instruction perfectly, and took the sweetest pictures of my dog. It was clear my dog felt comfortable and loved being with her. I highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring. I truly wish I could give more than 5 stars!”
“Nicolle was fantastic. We were in a pinch for a sitter and she checked all the boxes and left our apartment just as we left it. Great pairing for our slightly anxious dog. Highly recommended!”
“Quanece and Malik were wonderful pet sitters for our senior cat with medical needs! They texted us each morning to let us know that our cat took her meds and frequently sent us pictures of her. They arrived promptly and were very clean and respectful of our home. We will 100000% be using them for our next extended vacation!”
“Hanna was everything you’d want in a sitter. Communicative to your preference, experienced, caring, loving and cleanly! We immediately clicked with Hanna and so did the animals, most importantly. She took care of our two dogs and I could tell how happy they were just from the pictures. She was also extremely respectful and cleanly during her stay. I have two happy loved dogs and I can’t wait to rebook. Cannot recommended enough!”
“Olivia was great! My pets all seemed very happy when she sent pictures, and our house was in great shape when she left. I would definitely hire her again!”
About: Hello!! I've always had animals in my house (dogs, cats, guinea pigs...) and I also have experience dog, cat, and house sitting back in Austin. I have big golden retriever energy and can tire out the most hyper of animals but also love a cozy night in and can love on a quieter, shy dog/cat. Additionally, I have experienced all ages of dog through growing up with and caring for my dog, including: managing puppy rules and regiment and later administering medicine and staying alert for signs of stress or discomfort. I work part-time right now, so my schedule varies. But around my work, I have a lot of free time to care for yall's pets! I am very flexible and have had experience with a range of animals. And I always make sure to stay communicative and ask lots of questions so that your animal gets great, curated care.
“This was our second time having Brittany care for Bleu, and I couldn't have felt more confident leaving her in Brittany's hands. While we were away, Bleu had a seizure, and Brittany handled it calmly and with excellent judgment. She stayed right with her, kept me informed throughout, and even sent me a video so I could see exactly what was happening. Being away in Mexico, it was enormously reassuring to know that if something unexpected happened, Brittany could handle it. She is incredibly conscientious and caring. She also went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and newspapers, taking out the trash, and even filling the bird feeder. I feel completely secure knowing Bleu is in her care, and that peace of mind when we're away is invaluable.”
“Vivi was great, took such good care of Nushi! They went on a lot of walks and played a lot and I just know Nushi had an amazing time. Vivi was also really communicative and sent a lot of updates and pictures which was great. I would definitely recommend her and I hope to have her care for Nushi again the future.”
About: I’m not sure yet as this will be my first time doing this type of work so hopefully I will get to learn what sets me apart from other sitters by doing this I’m currently working a part time job so I will have plenty of time to take your pup on walks everyday from 10 through 3 I don’t own any pets unfortunately but if I did I would make sure to keep anything that would get them hurt or sick away from them
“Katherine was excellent with Gracie! She gained her trust quickly and sent me lots of updates and pictures which I really appreciated as a new dog parent. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Maddie was wonderful! I have been able to enjoy my vacation, knowing that my fur babies were safe and loved while I was gone! Will definitely use Maddie again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fern Rock
Nicole is so great with my anxious dog. Not only is she intuitive with animals, but she diligently follows care instructions (even long ones, like with my dog!) and provides the best updates during stays. My family is lucky to have found Nicole, and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pet!
Hillary was great! Our dachshund Toby loved her and she gave him all the attention he needed! She made sure he got his potty breaks and walks and did everything possible to make sure his schedule stayed consistent! Very pleased with the service, and most importantly Toby loved her!
So glad Sareyah was able to help us out with Oliver despite the short notice! She took great care of him, was able to administer his meds successfully, and was very communicative and responsive with us throughout our time away. We’ll definitely hope to work with her again in the future and highly recommend her to others in the meantime!
Kendra was amazing! I've never used a dog sitter and was reluctant at first, as I have very anxious dogs; one being a pit mix who is very attached. After our first meeting, he ran right to her, which I've never seen him do with a stranger. Kendra sat for us while away for our daughrers wedding. She was so detailed and provided so many pictures and updates throughout the day. It eased me so much. I would highly recommend Kendra and cant wait to use her again. Bronx and Bella absolutely loved her.
Our pups Sundance and Grace had a fantastic time with Ryan. He is great with them. Patient playful and always takes them for walks his trustworthy and careful in our home and when we are away, he sends updates and photos this allows us to relax and enjoy our vacations and times away.
Hanna K was great. She stayed at our home & it looked better then when we left. She send lots of photos/videos and updated us on our 3 little babies. Two of them need shots and she was a pro at doing it. I highly recommend her and would leave my puppies with her again. Thanks Hanna for all your help and kindness to our girls.
Anna is an outstanding dog and house sitter. And a lovely & kind person :) She bonded with our newly adopted pup right away - becoming his first safe person outside of my husband & I. That meant the world to us. She took great care of our home, cleaning above and beyond! And sent us pictures / updates often about our dog. She kept him on the same schedule that we have when home. Would highly recommend her services !
Absolutely incredible. Sent lots of pictures and showed my pup so much love while I was gone. Abigail was very easy to work with. Easily hopped in the phone to establish care needs and was very attentive to my pup. Highly recommend and will definitely be rebooking with them !
Juntae R. Did an amazing job with Levi. Levi very shy/scary and Juntae allowed Levi to warm up to him in his time. I received updates and plenty of pictures which help me to feel relaxed. This was my first time using the service. Definitely was use Juntae again. Levi approved.. Lol

FAQs for House Sitting - Fern Rock
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Fern Rock is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $89 per night. 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.

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 Rock 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 Rock 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 Rock 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.
