“This was my first time using Rover/a house and pet sitter and it really but my mind at ease knowing Whitney was taking great care of my pets while I was out of town for a few days!”
“Holly is an excellent sitter. She did a 5 day house-dog sit for me. I have one slow to warm dog, and one super slow to warm dog. Holly’s calming personality had them both completely won over. Her communication was top tier. Holly provided regular photos, which reassured this first time Rover user. The house was left nice and tidy. I highly recommend Holly for house and dog sits.”
“Jenna was great, arrived promptly.Communicated well. She took pictures, walked my teacups, gave them treats. I felt very comfortable leaving my teacup Yorkies w her. Would definitely ask her to pup sit again.”
“Beatrice was communicative and did a great job keeping my dog company while we were away. She has experience and seems well equipped to handle a range of situations. Would book her again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10. Growing up with dogs my entire life, I know the love and attention they need! With my experience I know routine is important to most furry friends so I will try my best to keep them calm and comfortable. This is my first time on the app but I have experience with walking and taking care of many different types of dogs so I hope I will be able to form a bond with your animal! I work a full time job. I am available to take care of your on the evenings where you are out late and the your weekend get aways. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I’ll take the time to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
“Chris did a great job with our three high energy dogs when I had to find somebody last minute. He sent daily updates and provided the dogs with plenty of playtime. He left the house clean and was communicative throughout our two-week trip. I would absolutely book him again!”
About: I live an active lifestyle and have the flexibility in my schedule to walk dogs the way they deserve! I have been caring for my own, family, and friends' pets for my entire life. There are few things in life I find more enjoyable than the simple happiness of hanging out with a pet. I really love training exercises, and believe mind exercises are just as important as physical. I believe that pets are family and should be treated like gems, which in my opinion also includes physical exercise and healthy (but yummy) treats! I can't wait to help you care for your family member! I have a flexible schedule from December 2026-March 2027 to accommodate your schedule. I do not offer any at-home care or boarding at this time, sorry! I care for my own pet like he is my child, and treat others with similar compassion. Every morning and every evening I take my own dog and frequently my house mate’s dogs for a half an hour walk around the property/in the woods. I keep schedules/routines consistent and provide daily supplements for fur, teeth, mental, and joint health. I keep routines strict and provide an excess of outdoor engagement to keep my own pets and others’ pets happy and thriving. Every pet deserves a happy healthy and active lifestyle.
“Cindy took such good care of my dog while I was away on vacation. She kept in regular touch with me, by providing updates on how things were going, as well as pictures, which really put my mind at ease. It was the first time my dog hadn't been watched by either friends or family, so it meant a lot to find someone that genuinely loves animals and was fully committed to my dog's needs, as she was very attentive to my instructions regarding his eating schedule and other routines. When I got home, my place was spotless, and she had taken the extra step of doing laundry and making the bed, so I would have clean sheets to return to! I would highly recommend Cindy for anyone looking for an extremely reliable, responsible, and caring dog sitter.”
“Hans was very good . You can tell he likes animals and knows how to take care of their needs.. We felt comfortable leaving our dog with him as our dog adjusted to him quickly. Hans was very flexible in meeting our time schedule and was personable to work with. We highly recommend him!”
“Karen is extremely kind and pleasant. It was hard to tell she was even here! She took great care of our dog, even giving him a bath! He was very happy with her. We would use Karen again!”
“Zoe is remarkable! Her compassion and care show in her engagement with our fuzzy loves and with us. Great updates with thoughtful questions and offers that went way above and beyond. This was a long time away and during really frigid temps. Zoe was cheerful and responsive throughout. Returned to very happy pets. I highly recommend Zoe with absolutely zero hesitation.”
“Darian is a remarkable caregiver. Our pups were so well cared for and Darian communicated promptly and professionally with us throughout her stay. She coordinated groomings and other appointments with ease. We could not have found a better house and dog sitter! Thank you, Darian!!!”
About: hi! I grew up with multiple golden retrievers and have my own 7-year old female golden. I adore dogs and have experience looking after multiple at once. I would welcome the opportunity to give yours some extra love!! I am very active and love to bring doggies on my trail adventures running, walking, biking and hiking. Dogs are like family in our home will Be given them abundant affection and attention they require in your absence. I am very attentive to their needs and expressions, and will take great care to accommodate the preferences and routine of your pooch. Dogs must be well house trained, minimally barky, and comfortable with other dogs. I work from home most days, so I can be available to provide company and daily exercise, potty breaks as needed, & loving care and attention to make your pooch feel at home. I have a golden retriever and we love snuggles, playtime and potty breaks in the back yard, adventures on the lake or in the trail, treats (if allowed!) and can follow any routines, training or preferences your pooch requires.
“Brandon was awesome! Great communicator and great with our dog. Our house was well cared for and Brandon was highly accommodating when our weekend was cut short due to mechanical issues in our home.”
“Kelly is who you want to sit your pets and your house. She's so nice, so patient with all my communication, so responsive and responsible... It's obvious she loves animals, she immediately connected with my cat and my puppy, and they with her. And let me tell you, my puppy is not an easy dog to take care of right now. She's 16 weeks old and in full crazy teething, biting, nipping mode. It's definitely a challenge to be with this land shark. But Kelly handled her with grace. She also left our house spotless. I will definitely ask her to watch my babies again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Ferrisburgh
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 377 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ferrisburgh. 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 Ferrisburgh 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 Ferrisburgh 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 Ferrisburgh 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.
