“Anna took great care of Finn while we were away! He got more exercise than usual, and we know he misses her! She was a great companion for him and was very respectful of our home. We appreciated the daily updates and excellent photos - we will request Anna again for future trips!”
About: I trained my childhood German Shepherd, Bailey, and cared for her throughout her life, including her senior years. That experience taught me so much about patience and being attentive to a pet’s needs. My childhood cat Arty was rescued when he was sick, and I helped take care of him as he recovered, which showed me how important gentle and thoughtful care is. Now I have my own cat, Willie, who is playful, affectionate, and so loved. Taking care of him every day has made me even more detail oriented when it comes to routines and making pets feel safe and comfortable. While my full-time schedule limits my availability, I’m grateful to offer dedicated care on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Sundays, and after 5 PM on Saturday evenings for pet parents who need a helping hand. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routines, respect their space, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
About: Life-long lover of dogs and cats (used to have a tabby cat myself named Flint). Have pup-sat neighbor dogs for years, as I don't have the residential means to own a dog myself. Previously lived in NYC, so incredibly familiar with making the best out of little, including small spaces, sidewalk etiquette and clean-up, and general social interaction with other dogs/humans. I'm currently in between jobs and taking some time for some self-exploration. Recently moved here from Manhattan to be closer to family, so when I'm not playing Aunt Sarah, I'm career planning and networking. Your home is precious, and I treat it accordingly. I respect preferences and requests, as I'd expect the same in return. I spent years babysitting and dogsitting while working through graduate school, so I have lots of experience in residential expectations.
“Emma was the best! I will definitely be using her again. She sent updates and pictures on all the little adventures she took my Stella on. Can’t say enough great things! Highly recommend.”
“Casie stayed for the weekend with my 2 dogs, cats and guinea pigs. One of my pups requires a pretty extensive med schedule and she was great! I will totally ask Casie to watch over my babies again ♥️”
“Amanda was incredible with my intense boxer puppy. She was calm and loving and did a great job watching over our boy. He had a blast and slept most of the next day. Thank you Mandy! You are always welcome in our home.”
“Corrine did a great job watching over our two pups and the house for 9 days. She communicated with us regularly on how things were going and answered any questions we had while travelling. Pups were happy when we got home and she treated our home like her own. Will be reaching out the next time we need a pup sitter.”
“We had such a great experience with our dog sitter! She was a wonderful option for us since we didn’t want to board our two dogs and had never left our youngest before. She was caring, dependable, and kept us updated while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. It made our first time leaving Winston so much easier knowing he was in such good hands. We would definitely recommend her and will absolutely use her”
About: I am a true animal lover! Growing up with both Boston Terriers and Boxers, I learned to adapt to the needs of the individual animals around me. My beloved Boston Terrier, Dorothy, was with me from puppyhood until she crossed the Rainbow Bridge at the age of 16 in 2025. My current animal squad consists of two senior kitties and two large but loving rescue dogs! I understand all animals need a little something different, and they all deserve respect and patience! My goal is to make your pets as comfortable and happy as possible. I’m a mom to a toddler and am looking for a flexible way to earn some extra income while doing something I love. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I’m able to plan visits around my family’s schedule. I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and their individual routine. Pets will be cared for with the utmost respect and compassion! These furry guys and gals are your family. They will receive the attention they want and deserve. All interactions will be based upon YOUR direction - what to feed, when to feed, where they sleep, etc. You may be at work or out of town, but they are still your baby and I will keep them in their routine.
“We hired Erin to care for our three-year-old tuxedo cat, Lilly, for six nights. As first-time clients, we appreciated how regularly she kept us informed. She often shared photos and videos, and her strong communication skills made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Although she works primarily as a dog sitter, it was clear that she and Lilly quickly bonded - the photos showed the feeling was mutual. Erin also helped with a few household tasks, including setting out the garbage and watering our plants while we were gone. We returned to a tidy, well-kept home and a happy, well cared for cat. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire Erin again. In fact, we think Lilly already misses her. Thank you, Erin!”
About: I’ve pet sit for family and friends over the years! I’ve taken care of puppies to senior dogs with diapers. I’m also comfortable with cats and comfortable cat sitting too. I’ve pet sat for small and large dogs and love to hot girl walk, so I’ll make sure your four legged friend gets their steps in too! I work in office 8:30-5pm Monday-Friday, so I’m happy to help out after work or over the weekends! I currently work full-time in an office Monday through Friday, so I’m happy to look after your pet before/after work and on the weekends! I can stay overnight and I am an active person, so I’m happy to provide long walks to keep your pet active while you’re away. I’m comfortable with wet and dry food, happy to help stick to a medication schedule if your pet is on one. I love to go on walks, so I’m happy to walk your dog or play outside to keep them active while you’re away. If accidents happen in the house, I’m happy to clean them up, but would like to know your preferred method of cleaning/products at your home and ready to use.
“TL;DR: Brianna is amazing and I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs! This was our very first time using Rover and we of course had our concerns over leaving our fur babies and home for a week (traveling internationally) with someone we didn’t know. Brianna was highly professional and took the time to come to our home in advance of our booking to meet us and our pets, even taking time to walk our dog with me so we could show her our routine. While we were gone, Brianna was very communicative and shared daily morning and evening updates along with lots of photos - which we loved! She was also able and willing to administer medications to our 2 cats (all orally) and did so without issues. One of our cats is being treated for cancer, so being able to travel while knowing he wasn’t missing his scheduled chemo doses gave us such peace of mind! She also took care of bringing in our packages and taking out our trash on trash night as well during her stay. Prior to leaving, Brianna took time to wash the bedding and towels she used, as well as wipe down the bathroom, floors and counter tops. This was so appreciated and certainly helped us get a jump start on settling back in when we got home. To summarize, we were very impressed with Brianna and 100% plan to use her again to care for our babies. She gave us the ability to enjoy our time away while resting assured our pets were not only well cared for, but truly enjoying their time at home without us - it was evident in the photos how much they loved her!”

“Karen was so wonderful while pet and house sitting for us. She was communicative, very friendly and trustworthy. The animals loved her and she took great care of them and the house. We would highly recommend her.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fernway
Courtney was great! She is super friendly, communicative, and really went above and beyond. She sent us photos, brought in our packages and trash can without even being asked, and was so sweet with our two cats. They took to her right away at the first meeting! We definitely recommend Courtney and will absolutely use her again for future trips!

Mila is wonderful and worth every penny! She stayed in our home for several days and took great care of our dogs while sending regular updates. The pups clearly loved her despite forcing her to give them several baths due to their rough housing in the backyard. She kept an eye on the house, packages, plants, you name it. We will certainly use her again and highly recommend her as being trustworthy and thorough.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fernway
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fernway on Rover is $54.5 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 1,395 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fernway. 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 Fernway 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 Fernway 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 Fernway 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 Fernway. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
