Oksana did an amazing job looking after my Mochi while I was gone for a week! She stayed over night and made sure she got plenty of play time and love. From the pictures, I think my kitten might have even liked spending time with her more than she likes it with me! Would definitely recommend Oksana for anyone who wants to ensure their cat is happy and cared for while they are away. Thanks Oksana!

Second time we’ve had Jeremy watch our boys and already scheduling with him for our next trip! Great communication, sends lots of pics and our house was clean when we arrived home. Our boys were also very tired which is a sign they had a great time 😊

Leyla did an amazing job with my dog while I was out of town. She’s so caring and gave him so much love that I could see he was missing her. She updated me with pictures and videos every day plus all the activities and routine during the days. She followed all my instructions. I couldn’t ask for more. She left my place tidy and super clean. She became Pablito’s official dog sitter 🐶 Thank u Leyla for all your love and caring for him!

About: Seasoned sitter with a track record of reliable care dating back to my teenage years, specializing in diverse breeds and specialized needs. I provide high quality care tailored to your pet’s unique personality and physical needs. My experience ranges from managing the high energy dynamic of a pack of Pomeranians to providing attentive support for an injured cat. Leave it to me, you can have peace of mind knowing that your pet is with a calming, caring presence providing updates as often as you wish. I am self employed and I always keep mornings free. I can be available on short notice if needed. My schedule is generally flexible during the week. Safety and trust are my top priorities when entering a client's home. During every visit I make sure all entries are securely locked and that the space is free of hazards before leaving. When walking, I am hyper vigilant about my surroundings. I steer clear of unknown animals and potential threats to the safety of pets.

Jojo is amazing to work with. She was great with our puppy Moose and sent fun and frequent updates during our trip. Our three year old daughter looked forward to them every day. She also took excellent care of our house and went above and beyond leaving some fresh fruit for our young daughter to make sure she had breakfast when we returned. Highly recommend!

Kourosh is ery responsive and easy to work with. It was great having someone who is willing to stay overnight with my disabled, senior dog at a reasonable rate. It gets very expensive given I cannot board her so I really appreciate the peace of mind of having somebody in my home I can trust and who has patience with older dogs.

I had turtles, reptiles, amphibians, budgies, cats, and dogs as pets. Trust me when I say that I would love to care for them all if Rover allowed more than just cats and dogs. I simply am an empath who truly cares about animals. 𝙑𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚. All my life I was fortunate enough to be around animals. My mother worked with an international rescue and helped the organization by finding forever homes in the U.S. for abandoned or neglected dogs. Through her and having to care for dogs at our home as a teenager, I know what it takes to be a top pet caretaker. I also have experience in taking care/grooming horses (equestrian lessons) and farm animals (animal sanctuary volunteering). 𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙖 𝙩𝙮𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙥𝙚𝙩 𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧. 𝙄𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨. Protecting and advocating for the voiceless is my passion. I am a fierce animal advocate with a strong network of like-minded communities and individuals behind me. 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙢. I put your pet(s) as my #1 priority. You can count on me to provide great comfort and care because I will treat your bestie(s) like fur royalty. I provide attention with positivity and patience so your companion(s) feel seen. I am alert to needs so your pet(s) will not feel neglected. I am a trusted sitter with many years of caretaking experience. I can assure you that you can count on me to leave stress and guilt free, because I handle all the good, but also the worst for you. 𝙉𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙖𝙮, 𝙞𝙩 𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙢𝙚 𝙟𝙤𝙮 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙚𝙩 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙪𝙩. 𝙄 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙖 𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙛 "𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚" 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙥𝙚𝙩(𝙨) 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙢𝙚. 𝙄 𝙝𝙤𝙥𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙣𝙟𝙤𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙚 𝙄 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙥𝙚𝙩 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙢𝙮 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮! I am providing pet caretaking full-time and am open for bookings 7 days a week. I update my calendar regularly so that it is up to date. I provide gentle caretaking at home for my pets. It looks something like being patient instead of forceful, for example, if a pet doesn’t want to come to me I do not go after them. I look for cues like body position, ears, eyes, etc. At home I also don’t spank to enforce good training or behavior. I enforce positive affirmation and lots of reward treats. However, I do not offer training services on Rover. My caretaking on Rover mainly involves walks and drop-ins. I hope to encounter housebroken and/or well-behaved pet(s). If your pet(s) are on the wild side, that’s okay too, it’s tolerable since I have experience. However, I will not extensively train or enforce client pet(s). On Rover, I offer high energy, positive affirmations, lots of play time, and undivided attention.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fernwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Fernwood on Rover is $85.47 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 12,456 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fernwood. 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 Fernwood 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 Fernwood 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 Fernwood 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 Fernwood. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
