“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 !”
“Alexys provided house sitting for us for ten days. She did a phenomenal job, kept us updated frequently, and followed our instructions beautifully. She was respectful of our home and maintained it well during her stay. We would invite her back to sit again! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Nutmeg.”
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.
“Shannon was very sweet and my dogs took to her right away. She has a sincere love for dogs & came prepared w treats & toys incase we didn’t (since we were staying in a hotel). Her responses to my messages were very prompt and she kept up informed w pix & details of her time with our pups. This was the first time we used rover.com, so we were a bit nervous, but after this experience we will not hesitate to hire again. And… we fully recommend Shannon! ??”
“We really enjoyed having Dana come stay with our dog Lucy. Dana kept us updated and made us feel at ease about everything, and Lucy and he did great together. We have already booked our next time for Dana to come back.”
“Tina was so sweet and caring with Tolly. We felt very comfortable with her and appreciated how loving she was towards Tolly. We would absolutely book her again.”
“Bill was great with the boys. We can tell that they were very happy from the photos he sent. He took good care of the house. We will be booking him again.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Yoel was fantastic with our dog and cat over the holidays! Our dog warms to women much faster than men but LOVED Yoel. We had a minor baby disaster and had to change our dates on Yoel at the last minute, and he was extremely accommodating. His communication is top notch and really eased our minds. We also had a problem with our gate refusing to open, and Yoel was a VERY GOOD SPORT about having to climb the fence, which we are still embarrassed about! #yikes Enthusiastic 5 stars for Yoel!!!”
“Brandon is receptive and communicative. He cares about my animals and was especially helpful when my dog began not feeling well and had some accidents. If he had a question to make sure he was giving my animals thr best care possible, he wasn't afraid to ask. He had his hands full with my animals but did very well and I know they were happy while I was away. Definitely will use again.”
“Sarah is amazing! She is incredibly thorough, patient, and professional. She asked thoughtful questions about my cat that even I hadn’t thought of, and my cat was completely calm and comfortable around her. She also took amazing photos of my baby and was very attentive to everything happening in the house. She noticed and communicated anything that might need my attention, which gave me great peace of mind. I truly appreciate how caring, observant, and responsible she is. I highly recommend Sarah!”
“Maria did a great job caring for Blu and Leo during her stay. She was attentive, communicative, and patient, especially with Blu’s crate training. I appreciated how smoothly the evening went and how she kept me updated throughout the night. I’d happily have her sit for my pets again!”
“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 .”
“As always Jasmine did a great job watching my cat for several days while I was on vacation. I never worry about him because she is so loving and great with him. He absolutely loves her. Thanks again Jasmine for watching my fur baby.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and have experience fostering puppies, training my own dog, and caring for dogs of all ages. I’m comfortable with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, as well as administering medications when needed. I’ll be sure to take a ton of photos of your pets and send them to you!! I work from home with a flexible schedule, meaning your pet gets plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. With a little notice, I’m happy to work with your schedule and keep your pet’s routine consistent. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I’ll leave everything clean and exactly as I found it, so you can return to a happy, cared for pet and a home that looks just as you left it. If your pet is staying in my home, they’ll have access to a private, fully fenced dog park that’s rarely used, giving them plenty of space to play, explore, and burn off energy. I’m happy to spend as much time out there with your dog as they enjoy, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and fun.
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m Fiona, a fun loving lady who would be thrilled to welcome your pup into my home. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I enjoy being around them and want to share my love for furry friends through Rover. I grew up with cats, and now I’m excited to make happy memories with pups too! I currently have a flexible schedule throughout the week which allows me to give your pup plenty of time, attention, and care. I’d love to be your dog’s second family and give them a safe, fun, and loving place to stay! I have a small, fenced backyard and porch, plus access to parks, perfect for walks, playtime, and fresh air. My spacious home gives plenty of room for indoor play and snuggles, so your pup will always feel included and entertained. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m happy to send daily photo updates so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. I also offer a Meet & Greet so we can get to know each other, go over your dog’s routine, and make sure everyone feels confident before a stay. Crate trained dogs are optional, fine if yours isn’t!

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
Caitlin is kind, loving, and patient with our feisty dog. She took the time to get to know his personality, which we greatly appreciate. She's very professional, communicates well and gave us helpful updates. She left our home clean, and us worry free while we were away.
Anna is a wonderful sitter. Very kind, courteous, and communicative, clearly cares about the pets she is taking care of. My pup developed a UTI while we were away and Anna was extremely proactive in taking her to the vet and getting her treated right away. Highly recommend!

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fern Rock. On Rover:
- 91% 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.
