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 am a lifelong animal lover with six years of experience. I volunteered at the SPCA of Monterey County for 124 hours and currently work at a local Animal Center in San Diego. I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and energy levels. I treat every pup like my own family, ensuring that they get plenty of love, exercise, and attention while you are away. I currently work at an animal shelter/center. I work 8 hour shifts 4 days of the week (days vary). The other days I spend taking dog & house sitting jobs or babysitting jobs. During the days I am at the animal shelter I leave the house at 10am and return at 7pm. On days I am not at the shelter I stay at the house with your pup and the maximum time I’d be away is 3 hours a day (unless told otherwise by owner). Dogs will get daily walks, meals, and meds (if needed) as instructed by their owner. I try to include the dogs in my daily activities. For example, choosing to sit with them while I reply to work emails or answer work calls.

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.

Bob was an amazing sitter for our corgi and husky! He was on time for both the meet & greet and the actual booking, and was very professional and kind throughout the entire experience. He sent us multiple daily updates, photos, and videos, and it was clear both dogs were getting lots of playtime, attention, and love. Our corgi usually gets extra emotional when we come home, but this time she seemed so happy and relaxed, which really showed us how well cared for they were. Our house was also left in great condition. We’re very happy with Bob and will definitely book with him again!

Marissa is AMAZING!!! We love her and both of our boys love her. She took such good care of them and our house. They went for walks, played ball, hung out in the sun and did lots of snuggle time. I feel like we have finally found our person! I can't recommend her enough. She is simply the best.

About: Owning cats and dogs all throughout my life really shaped who I am as a person and I want to make sure that you get to relax when you’re away, knowing that your sitter is doing everything possible to make sure you’re pet is safe and happy. I feel competent in taking care of dogs and cats with disabilities, are old, or need special instructions. I graduated high school a few months ago and have decided to take a gap year to figure out what major I would like to pursue. Currently I have no part time or full time jobs so my schedule is super flexible. I will follow any and all instructions you set, I understand how tedious some animals care can be and I promise to follow every step with caution as to make your animal feel safe and happy during the sitting.

Eli did a great job with Max. He stayed with and cared for Max for 4 days. He made sure Max was well taken care of. He was even great with Max during a day of rain. Max is not a fan of rain, but all was well with Eli's patience and understanding. Max even went on a couple of short hikes. Eli is professional and made sure to spend quality time with Max. I will use Eli again.

About: Howdy Rover! Growing up, my family always had cats, cats for days, mom did not have the bandwidth for dog shenanigans. But I have been passionate about canine's from my earliest memories. I have been dogsitting and walking my grandparents dog as well as neighborhood dogs since I was 12. MY first dog, raised from 3 months, is the big handsome purebred German Shepherd seen in my profile photo. Koda was adopted from a breeder in 2020. He's very friendly and well trained. My roommate has another Gshep adopted from a shelter, and an Aussie Shep, so I'm used to VERY high energy and demanding dogs. That said, our home can't accommodate anymore furry friends, so I'm only available for housesitting and visits. Looking forward to meeting your furbabies! At this time my availability is completely open. I happily make this my full-time job if possible. I've been out of formal work for a year due to a slump in the job market. I will do my utmost to ensure your pets are safe, happy, and healthy. I'll evaluate potential hazards in the home before you leave, ensure all special instructions are understood and followed, and give you and your pet the best experience possible. I'll give them the same care and attention I would give to my own.

About: Hi there, I have had my current dog for 14 years now and I got her when she was a puppy. About 2 years ago I became a dog dad to a Belgian Malinois and about 5 years ago another dog joined our family Hi! I’m Joshua, a reliable and attentive pet lover who genuinely enjoys getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. I work from home, so I’m able to be around your pets throughout the day and provide plenty of potty breaks, companionship, attention, and supervision. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs and pets who need a little extra patience or specialized care. I’m comfortable following individual feeding schedules, routines, medications, and care instructions because I know every pet has different needs. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as an individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your dog wants to play, go for a long walk, relax beside me while I work, or simply have some extra attention and cuddles, I’m happy to follow their lead. I also know how important it is to feel connected to your pet while you’re away. I love sending regular photo and message updates so you can see how your pup is doing and know they’re having a great time. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of many different ages, breeds, and personalities, including senior pets and pets requiring medication or additional care. I currently have senior dogs of my own, which has given me firsthand experience with the patience, consistency, and attention that older pets can require. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions and keeping a close eye on changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall wellbeing. Your pet’s normal routine matters to me, and I’ll do my best to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible while you’re away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fernbrook

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Fernbrook on Rover is $73.73 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 6,868 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fernbrook. 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 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 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 Fernbrook. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
