“We have had Christina stay at our house and care for or Aussiedoodle multiple times. She is the best! We ask a lot of her because our dog has separation anxiety and can’t be left alone. I never have to worry about anything when we are on vacation. She takes amazing care of everything and gives updates! Will continue to use her!”
“Ari has a great demeanor with our senior dog and left the home tidy. He was very communicative before, during, and after the visit which we appreciated. We’re looking forward to rebooking with him!”
“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!”
“Dana was prompt, kind, and gave wonderful updates a few times a day (including pics.) Our dogs are big and we really need someone who can handle them without getting overwhelmed and he handled it with ease! Also, he did everything we asked re: caring for the dogs and walking them. Highly recommend him!”
“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!”
“Hanna is amazing. She's super responsible, gave my pup loads of love and took great care of my house, including when the roof started leaking in the rain. She communicates as often as you want, sends adorable pictures and videos and asks questions if she's not sure of anything. My dog has already requested her again. I'll certainly hope she's available next time I need a dog sitter.”
“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 took such good care of our cats and dog! She's caring, pays attention to the details, and left our house in perfect condition. We're definitely booking her right now for our next trip.”
“Nikki was wonderful! She took such great care of our dog, Georgie, while we were away. Her updates were great and put our minds at ease. We came home to a relaxed and content pup - always the best sign! Thank you, Nikki, for treating him like one of your own!”
“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!”
“Super chill guy, William was easy for my nervous girl to adapt to. He’s great with her and goes the extra mile with little things that matter. Thank you, Bill.”
“Great communication and attention to detail! Jackie was extremely responsive and worked to ensure our elderly dog was comfortable and doted on all weekend. Thank you!!”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“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!”
“Jasmine was so attentive and communicative when caring for our old lady, Nike. Jasmine followed directions and made sure that not only our dog was looked after but also our home. Jasmine is truly a caregiver at heart and this makes for a great Rover friend, who sends many photo updates and knows how to manage animals.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fern Rock
Christina was great! She took such great care of Banner. She communicated well. She sent us so many pictures and videos. Our home was found just as we left it with a happy puppy to greet us. She also helped us with feeding our fish twice a day! She has a lovely personality and it was comforting to have her here while we were away. Would definitely use her again and recommend her to others!
Alex was great. The dogs had a few minor medical things which she communicated to me and we worked out a plan-she even cooked for them to calm Martha’s upset tummy The animals were happy and comfortable when we got home. The house was in good order. We got so many great pics too!!!! She also offered to stay later if needed (we had some traffic delays) which was nice (we didn’t need it in the end but the offer was appreciated). Thanks Alex!!!!
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 !
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.
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.

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 5,560 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
- 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.
