“Leigh was the absolute best! She followed our instructions to the T, sent numerous updates and pictures, and even let our furbabies sleep with her. I can't say enough great things about her. Can't wait to have her back next time.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was young, and they’ve always been a big part of my life. I currently have two adorable kittens (10 and 11 months old), and they bring so much joy to my home! I’d love the opportunity to help care for your furry family member in any way I can. As someone serving in the military, I’m highly reliable, organized, and able to stick to a schedule, ensuring your pet is always in great hands. I am experienced with cats, so your fur baby will get plenty of love and attention! I’m currently in the military during the weekdays, that’s what my schedule is Thursday through Sunday. That’s typically when I have more leeway to be able to ensure that your pets will have the best care. For my cats, they roam free around the house. I have an automatic litter box. Automatic food and automatic water and all the toys that they desire.
“Cristen is fantastic! She always does a wonderful job of taking care of our Mini Schnauzer. We even needed a few home tasks taken care of while we were out of the country for 2 weeks and she went above and beyond the typical pet sitting. We implicitly trust her and would request her for future doggy care needs in a heartbeat!”
“Vivian was super reliable, a pleasure to work with and did a fantastic job with our fiesty rover! She also looked after our property well, gave medications as instructed and scheduled, and took exceptional care of our pet. She was available to chat when messaged and sent great photos too! Definitely will use her services in the near future!”
About: Over the years, I’ve taken care of all my friends dogs. I’m currently the lead babysitter for my landlord’s chihuahua. I’d love to meet your pup today! I work part time and have a very flexible schedule, so I’ll be able to prioritize your pets! It’s enriching work for me. I will adhere to whatever rules you have for your pet in their environment. I will only walk them in safe designated areas, and am extremely attentive.
“Sarah was great with Reine. Sarah quickly replied to text. I also appreciated her flexibility ;)!! Reine was happy when we returned which was really comforting.. Thanks Sarah for doing such an awesome job!!”
About: I’m an active, caring, and dependable person who genuinely loves animals! I have a lot of experience caring for others and understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I love being outdoors, going on walks, and giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m patient, attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs, and happy to stick to their usual routines. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own and keep you updated so you have peace of mind while you’re away! I currently work part-time and receive my schedule on a weekly basis, so my dog-walking availability after 10 AM depends on my work schedule. I’m available every morning before 10 AM and can coordinate additional walks throughout the week as my schedule allows. I’ll always communicate my availability in advance to ensure we can find a time that works! Beyond that I have a pretty flexible schedule and can give them plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I genuinely love being around animals and would treat every pet as if they were my own. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family members are getting all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away! I provide pet care in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and stick to their normal routines. I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any special care requirements. I always prioritize safety, keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime, and make sure they feel loved and secure. I’ll also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands!
“Sarah had always been amazing with my pups and with my house . I never have to worry about my boys when she watches them. The boys love her company. Honestly i just want to keep her as my personal dog sitter but i guesss ill share her with all of you :) haha .”
“We were so lucky to have found Emily. Our pup, Junie, takes a long time to warm up to new people and it takes a while to earn her trust. Emily was endlessly patient in the drop-ins we had her do before having her stay with Junie for a week. In addition to being a kind and calm person, she knows a lot about being around a reactive dog and earning their trust. We felt totally at ease with Junie in Emily’s care and we loved how Emily put together a shared album to see how Junie was doing throughout the week.”
“Savannah is an absolute gem! She was very professional, responsive, and best of all my pup LOVED her instantly (he normally takes a while to warm up to people). Will definitely be rebooking ?”
“Adam and Alexis were phenomenal. They took amazing care of our boys. Above and beyond. You can tell they are big animal lovers. Our puppy got sick and they fed him chicken and rice and helped him feel better. They walked our dogs and played with them and sent us so many photos while we were out of town. We will definitely be using them again!!”
“Rory has been great! He was very attentive when given instructions and was great at communicating. We always have anxiety while traveling, but we immediately felt at ease. He gave us confidence that our boy was safe and cared for. Our instructions are pretty detailed and our boy is a little needy. Rory had no problem doing his best to follow them. We highly recommend him for walking and house sitting!”
“Holly has been helping us take care of our doxie nori for a few years now and she has become our go to whenever we leave town and can’t bring nori along. I’m sure this goes for anyone on here looking for a sitter - our dog is basically our child so we are super selective about who we have take care of her! And finding Holly was a HUGE relief for us. She takes such good care of nori, shows her so much love and patience (nori can be a bit stubborn and not welcoming at first) and in addition to her care with nori, holly leaves our house cleaner than we left it! Cannot recommend her enough.”
“We have only ever left our special dog Scout with Dori, and plan to continue doing so!! Dori is so wonderful and fun and our dog loves her and she does the best job taking care of her while we’re gone. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter, we’re so happy we found Dori!!!”
About: I’ve cared for animals since I was a child. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat. I’ll go above and beyond for animals. I’m patient, strong, caring, and I understand the attention that each animal needs. I’ll treat your pets like my own and my fur babies are family. I understand the stress of leaving your animals so I hope to gain the trust of you and your animals! I work from home so I have the flexibility of being with your pets for most of the day. I currently work from home and have the flexibility of caring for animals whether it’s a drop in visit, multiple walks, or day care. I’ll be there. I have two friendly dogs of my own and my cat is as sassy as a dog. I have a condo with a large grassy area for walks and I take my own dogs on a 3 mile walk around the house.
“Stella took care of my German Shepherd overnight stays for 2 weeks. She was responsible, responded to my texts, contacted me everyday with a text and photo and asked questions to make Maximus feel more comfortable and have more variety with me gone. She even cleaned my floors! My home was left as it was and I would highly recommend her.”

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 Fernbrook 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 Fernbrook 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 Fernbrook 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.
