“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.”
“Cristen again is amazing. We have two Great Danes who demand attention and Cristen steps right up and gives it. We got new place and Cristen did great in it and kept it clean and great. Our kids love having her and are always pooped out when we get back. So glad we found Cristen!!!”
“Vivian was amazing with our 2 big dogs. She did a drop in visit the week before coming to watch our girls for 4 days. While on our trip we got lots of photos and updates and after the first text we knew the girls were having fun. When we got home, I noticed how silky their coats were from all the brushings they got while Vivian was here. They were happy to see us, but they still go to check out the room where Vivian was sleeping to see if maybe she’s still here. It’s unanimous that we will be using her to sit again.”
“Maureen was perfect for our Harlow, she was prompt, friendly, loves dogs and sent us tons of pictures and videos while we were away. She went above and beyond while she was at our house, picking up dog poop (which we did not ask her to do) and even brought in our trash cans! We will definitely be using her again!”
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.
“Vannessa and Jason stayed in our home to watch our 2 dogs for 4 nights. They did an amazing job! They were very communicative, sent us lots of photos and updates and kept our home spotless. In fact, they left the house cleaner than when we had left. I highly recommend Vannessa and Jason!”
“Crystal was amazing! She helped us last minute and worked with our changing schedule. She did a good job of accommodating all of Roxxys needs. I can tell that Roxxy made a new friend! I would definitely recommend her!”
“Sarah was amazing with our dogs. They absolutely adored her and from all the videos and pictures she sent us, it was obvious they were having the best time and were well looked after.”
“Emily is super nice and got along great with my dogs. She is comfortable watching puppies and can easily follow the quirky routines that your dogs may have. I appreciated the updates and photos while I was away!”
“Josette is a dog whisperer! We have two very active young cocker spaniels. If you know the breed you know how excitable they are. These two are particularly so, as they are also rescues from Mongolia via the wonderful LA-based Camp Cocker Rescue. They are always so happy to see Josette, which includes lots of jumping, and Josette calms them right down. We feel so comfortable leaving our pups with Josette. She is so on top of the all the details of the dogs. We know they are so well taken care of, very safe and very loved. When we return from out of town the dogs are always happy, and the house is immaculate. Couldn’t be happier with her caregiving! Also love her responsiveness when we reach out to her! XOXO”
“Dori was everything we hoped for; attentive to Bernie, and I could tell his needs were being met by his comfort with her. She sent photos and check-ins everyday, and left our house as it was, if not cleaner. She was a gem.”
About: Hi, I’m Melissa – A Lifelong Animal Lover with a Personal Touch Growing up with animals taught me early on how to understand and care for pets with love, patience, and respect. Over the years, I’ve rescued, trained, and nurtured countless fur babies. I treat your pets like family because that’s what they deserve. We specialize in providing one on one attention by only hosting one dog at a time (or siblings from the same home), so your pet gets a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and happy. We believe in positive reinforcement, mental stimulation, and physical activity especially with the beach nearby for fun walks and playtime. I also bake healthy homemade treats and often add a little pet spa love for extra pampering. Your pet may even learn a new trick or two! You can get a feel for who we are by checking out our journey on TikTok at #lolasdoggycare We’re here to love and care for your fur baby just like you would maybe even a little extra. I have a small business from home, so the flexibility is there. I make pet products as well as homemade products so I set my own hours. I treat all the fur babies as if they were my own child or pet. I follow their schedule and give them my undivided attention and do lots of playing! We go get our walks or smelly’s. 🐶
“Very communicative. I received daily photos and videos. The pups seemed happy and our youngest found a lap to lay on. Bob played with both dogs and seemed to really start to learn their personalities”
“Victoria was fabulous with Lizzy. I will absolutely book her again. The house was clean when I returned and she even took my garbage cans to the road on garbage day. Lizzy got two walks a day and was very happy. I would easily recommend Victoria to look after your pet.”
“Love Reshini! She took such great care of our frenchie. Send photos and videos everyday. Gave lots of love, walks and even a bath bc my dog has a skin condition and needs bathing often. She went above and beyond our expectations. Will definitely be asking her to pet sit again!”
“We had a last minute cancelation for a dog sitter. Holly was able to house and dog sit with short notice while we were out of the country. Our fur-babies were well taken care of. Will use Holly again!”
“Viktoriia is absolutely amazing and Cruz loved her! She exceeded my expectations and was so great with communication. She connected a minimum of 3 times a day and sent photos/videos every time. She left the house extremely clean and even welcomed me home with flowers. She is on the top of my list and I will absolutely be reaching out for future needs! Highly recommend!!”
“Karilou was a gift! We were so nervous leaving our 15-week-old puppy (and kitty) for the first time, but she immediately put our worries at ease. She was attentive, stuck to our schedule, and handled all the puppy chaos with nothing but patience. We loved getting her frequent updates, and we came home to a tidy and cared-for space. Karilou was respectful, communicative, and clearly so caring with our pets. We’d be lucky to rebook her in the future!”
About: I've taken care of family pets for more than twelve years and had owned two chihuahuas. I can bath, walk, and play with them and keep them company. I currently own the cutest pug named Lily. I am a travel medical assistant with open availability due to it being a slow season. I like to walk every morning to the park or the farmers markets on Saturdays. If you have a fencing yard or crate, I can let them out for walks and for play. If you need help bathing or administering any medication, I'd be more than happy to help you.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Fernbrook is $74 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $123 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 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fernbrook. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
