“Always such a great caretaker for our animals. They have provided so much help with last minute assistance with our animals. TreDerica is incredibly communicative and has always shared so many pictures with us while we are away. Will happily book multiple times !”
“This is the first time I had someone stay in my home to care for Chica. Alexys was great. She came by the house the day before we were leaving for a meet and greet. She arrived on time, stayed one night overnight, washed the sheets and made the bed. That was above and beyond. And Chica was happy. I would definitely use Alexys again and recommend her to anyone need pet sitting/walking services.”
“Naomi was extremely patient, attentive, and caring with my dog, cat, and 4 foster kittens. She was flexible when I had to last minute add the kittens to the mix, and handled my dog's nerves on the fourth of July. Plus, she left my home very clean and neat. I highly recommend her!”
About: I bring a strong veterinary background to pet sitting, with 4 years of vet tech school and 4 years of hands-on experience working as a vet tech. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets who may need a little extra patience and care. Because of my experience, I’m confident with things like giving medications, monitoring health and behavior, and following detailed care instructions. I know what’s normal vs. what might need attention, which helps keep pets safe and gives owners peace of mind. I also understand that every pet has their own routine and personality. I focus on keeping things as familiar and stress-free as possible, whether that’s sticking to feeding schedules, giving calm overnight care, or spending extra time with shy or anxious pets. I send regular photo updates and treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full-time Monday through Friday, so I plan pet care around early mornings, evenings after work, overnights, and weekends. This makes me a great fit for overnight stays, weekend care, and travel bookings. On weekdays, I’m available for evening walks, feedings, playtime, and medication after work, and I can provide overnight care starting in the evening through the morning. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and can dedicate extended time to pet care, including multiple visits, longer walks, and full overnight stays. I’m very organized and plan ahead to make sure each pet’s routine is followed closely. Whether it’s caring for cats, dogs, or pets with special needs, I make sure they get consistent attention, affection, and proper care built into my daily schedule. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. Before each booking, I make sure I understand feeding schedules, walk routines, medication needs, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, medications if needed, and overnight supervision. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I also send regular photo and text updates so owners know how their pets are doing. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and downtime. I monitor behavior closely, keep pets separated if needed, and stick to their routine as much as possible. With my background in veterinary medicine, I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs, including puppies, senior pets, and those with medical needs. Safety, consistency, and communication are always my top priorities.
“We’ve used Bill several times to watch our pup, Lincoln and he’s been fabulous every time. He communicates, sends cute photo updates and takes care of the house for us when we’re gone. Would use him again and recommend him to anyone that would like a reliable pet sitter for their pets! Thank you, Bill!”
“We didn’t get meet Dana as we needed an emergency dog sitter when I went into labor. Dana responded quickly, got there as soon as he could, and kept us updated. Thanks so much Dana!”
“Shannon was incredible! She was great with our dog, sent pictures and comments about their stay together often and then left a really cute card! Highly recommend, will be using her again for dog sitting duties in the future.”
“We used Ari for 5 days for our dog Freddy , we had a destination wedding for my sister who was getting married and we interviewed with Ari in oct and we had a meet up with him and Freddy to just make sure he would be able to watch him for 5 days in our home because our Fred is comfortable in his own home and Ari has no problem accommodating and staying with him each night at our home. He was attentive and communicative lending up to his arrival day and while we were on vacation he made sure to send update and answer and of my million calls just to check in on our dog. I made sure to ask Ari if he wanted any food stocked in the house for himself to have while he was here and his only request was simple just lemonade . Once arriving home today our Freddy was as happy as can be our house looked the exact way we left it and we are already in talks to have him back again in May for our Mexico Trip !!! I can not recommend Ari enough to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter for a vacation trip or wedding or just to walk your dog !! We provide him also with a tip via Apple Pay for him because of him going above and beyond for our Freddy and for us .”
“Ava took care of my two dogs when I was abroad for work. One of my dogs had a nasal tumor and Ava was comfortable handling her daily meds and a nosebleed that happened during the week. She sent me updates and took them for pup cups. She also made sure to leave my place as she found it. She was flexible and helpful. I recommend her.”
“Hadiya did an amazing job staying with our Walter while we were on vacation! She comforted him during the fireworks and put on dog music when she wasn’t around. She provided many updates and photos. Highly recommend!”
“Mars is a great human! She took excellent care of my babies and provided sweet photos and updates throughout the visit. I felt comfortable leaving my home and pets in her care and would absolutely rebook in the future. I also appreciate my space being left clean the way I left it. Thank you Mars for your care!”
“Tina is so amazing that we want to keep her all to ourselves! ♥️ But that seems unfair so here you go… 1. Tina is a joy in person. Such a lovely human and easy to talk to. 2. She’s so good with dogs that she was completely unfazed by our big wildly energetic lab. They were immediate best friends and ready for adventure. 3. It’s so hard to find someone who is wonderful with cats too and cat would seem to be Tina’s second language. We came home to a blissed out cat who was energetic, lovey, and even put on a little much needed weight. Tina pays very close attention to an individual pet’s needs and our old special needs kitty is totally in love with her. 4. Pictures! Updates! 🎉 We had a consistent and lovely view of happy pets. 5. We are now calling her the immaculate house guest. Everything, and I mean everything, was pristine when we returned. It looked like a huge team of cleaners had been through the house. What an especially wonderful way to come home. All of that said, do not book Tina! We want her all to ourselves. 😉♥️”
“Megan provided photo updates & gave Pepper all her meds on schedule. I came home to happy Pepper & my home the way I left. Will definitely consider using Megan again.”
“Mochi loves her and appeared very comfortable in the photos while she was petsitting him. She was also really respectful of my apartment and left it really nice. I will definitely book her again!”
“Juliet was great with my dogs while staying over with them, she kept us updated and sent pictures while we were away. She was also super nice and helpful, it really put us at ease while away. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a sitter!”
“Sarah was amazing. She is helpful, kind, and creative. My newly adopted dog is struggling with separation anxiety; knowing I could trust Sarah to keep him engaged and happy while I was out of the house was such a relief.”
“Val did an awesome job watching our two large dogs at our house for an extended period! It was clear that she really cared and spent lots of timing playing with them and making them feel loved. She kept us updated with details of how the dogs were doing and shared lots of pictures so that we never worried. Val also went above and beyond in keeping the house in tidy shape and making sure that everything was in order when we returned from our trip. She will absolutely be our first call for all of our future pup sitting needs!”
“Kaliah has been a great caretaker for my dog! Percy is an anxious guy (with separation anxiety, to boot), but Kaliah’s approach with animals is intuitive and he warmed up to her almost instantly. Kaliah was also very easy to work with, agreeing to do some trial walks before the house sitting so Percy could get used to her. I look forward to working with Kaliah again!”

Rae was amazing! We had a some stuff change and she was great! Our dog Chase loved her and her daughter!! Rae sent a bunch of pics of Chase who looked super happy!! She even watered my flowers which I was so grateful for!! Esp bc she found some still in pots I forgot to plant! Def give her a 5 star!! And use her again!
Maria did a wonderful job watching our Siberian husky, Ledi, for 5 days. Maria was very caring for Ledi. She did her best to give Ledi as normal an experience as possible while we were away. We had some issues in our house with our electrical system and Maria went with the flow and handled it like a champ. She’s exactly the kind of person to trust your soul dog with. She’s got a kind heart and deeply cares for animals.
Lauren was an amazing pet sitter! She took wonderful care of our dog, was attentive to our needs, and even helped with things around the house. She sent daily photos and updates, giving us peace of mind and making our time away completely worry free. We knew our baby was in great hands. We would definitely book with Lauren again and highly recommend her!
Kendra is an absolute twenty thumbs up dog sitter. Kept us up to date on all the goings on with our sweet pup. She sent amazing photos that kept us laughing and smiling. Communication was stellar, house was perfect when we got home, care was top notch, and that’s for a dog who has four very specific meals each day and a lot of quirks. Kendra gets a full scale recommendation from us!
Juntae took exceptional care of our pups, treating them like family while keeping us updated with thoughtful notes and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. Dependable, attentive, and genuinely caring. I recommend him without hesitation and will absolutely book him again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fern Rock
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fern Rock on Rover is $55.5 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 5,554 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fern Rock. 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 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 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
