About: I am a wildlife biologist, and I graduated Purdue University with a Bachelor's in Wildlife. I enjoy all animals, including dogs! From having pets and working professionally and causally with animals my whole life, I have a great sense of animal behavior, awareness of common pet health and safety issues, and extreme attention to detail. I look forward to spoiling your four-legged friend and keeping them happy and safe! Please message me, and we can figure out dates and times! For the first couple weeks of August 2026 I am available at any time! I am often available on weekdays and weekends. I am applying to grad school at this time, so I will be at home for awhile so I am able to supervise your cat/dog. I love hiking and walking, so exercising your cat/dog is easy!
“Tessa did a great job watching our 2 yr old lab in our home for the week Skye is very scared of new people when she meets them but made a new friend at the meet and greet! Tessa was her new play buddy and seemed at ease and comfortable with her during her stay. I know this because she would give me updates and pictures every day to put my mind at ease while we were so far away. She even helped me feed the neighborhood cats! She left our house just as clean as we left it. I will definitely be contacting her next time we need someone to watch or let Skye out for us!”
About: I have taken care of all different kinds of animals throughout my life. My family has housed all different kinds of dogs, cats, rodents, etc. I enjoy all animals and like to see them kept happy and well cared for. I make sure to take time out of my day to give my animals attention and care, and would do the same for any animals that I am watching. I make sure to give them what they need, and pay attention to their temperament and the small details that others might not notice. I love seeing animals well cared for, and do my best to mine happy.
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and have experience caring for family pets and helping friends with their dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I enjoy being active and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I understand the importance of following owners’ instructions and will always communicate clearly and provide updates during visits.

I provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention and care.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 5 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I also worked for a woman who owned her own Yorkie breeding business for a year, where I helped care for puppies and adult dogs daily. Along with that experience, I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family with feeding, walking, playtime, overnight care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’ve also worked with cats for 2 years, and they’re one of my favorite animals to care for. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet like they’re my own.

About: My love for animals dates back to the many of nights I slept with my first “furry” best friend, Bruno (Golden Retriever), in his kennel. What resulted from that first love was an endless need to integrate the best skill-set to care for all family pets that followed. From potty training, to administering various medications for health/overall wellness, I am well rounded in what it means to show true care towards all pets. In caring for my own pets growing up, I showed my compassion for animals in the form of volunteering at various animal shelters in my town. Whether it was walking/playing with dogs for countless hours on end, or giving that one cat some extra attention that day I always strived to leave them happier than when I found them. I wanted to show them what it truly feels like to be loved. With your pets, I will do the same! :) I am currently working part-time, so my schedule (both night and day) is very flexible. Monday-Friday, including weekends, are available to me. I am available for early morning sitting, and into evenings (over night as needed). In my home, I care for my 1 year old cat, Pacino, in which he is given much attention throughout the day. He is very much entertained with many toys, and his vitamin enriched meals x2 a day (including a few treats).
About: I love animals, I’m VERY passionate with their care and living standards. Animals comfortably are important to me. I treat all with love and respect. I am only available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Due to my working schedule during the week I am unable to work On all days. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, following each pet’s routine for feeding, playtime, and walks. I give plenty of attention, keep their space tidy, and ensure they feel loved and stress-free while in my care.
About: I am a former veterinary technician that has years of experience with animals. I have experience with special needs, medication, geriatric, special diet, restraint, IV fluids, and much more. I have worked with dogs in the veterinary field, training, and doing therapy work. I can also care for cats, reptiles, birds and your other pets. I have worked for an animal sanctuary where we had many different animals. I was in charge of the infirmary there and medicating all the animals as far as any sick or injured animals and monthly flea and tick treatments. I cared for animals there from the very small, winged, scaly to the large cows and horses. I have loved animals for as long as I can remember and I can’t wait to meet your furry babies to love and care for like they were my own. I am willing to work with just about anyone's schedule. If you can be flexible, we can always work something out. Available for your pets any day of the week and during most hours. Your pet's care is my priority. I come to your home for care which makes your pet(s) feel much more at ease. When your pet is in their own environment, they are less stressed while you are gone.
“Chris and Liz were absolutely amazing caring for our dogs during our 10 day vacation. We really appreciated the service of them staying at our home. On the very first day, one of our older dogs was accidentally injured, and Chris went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, loved, and well cared for throughout her recovery. He kept us updated with frequent messages and plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear they genuinely cared for our dogs as if they were their own. We came home to two happy, well loved pups and couldn't be more grateful. We highly recommend Chris and Liz to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy, professional pet sitters!”
“Ella went above and beyond in caring for our animals. Despite a miscommunication about the duration of pet care needed, she was incredibly accommodating and worked out a schedule that served us perfectly. We really appreciated her flexibility. We also had an issue with our garage door not opening, and Ella graciously went back and forth multiple times to check on the animals. Her commitment and kindness made all the difference. We highly recommend her!”
About: My name is Sydney M. I am a sweet and loving 25 year old girl. Born and raised in Lafayette, Indiana. I have 2 dogs of my own, I have had dogs my whole life! I love them! Love going on walks and playing with animals. I adore cats and dogs, mainly little dogs because big dogs frighten me a little bit... if they are well trained and don’t tug on the leash while walking, they are okay! Available anytime everyday, I have another job at platos closet, but I’m mostly free for the most part. I would love to walk them anytime it makes me happy:) I am very flexible!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fickle
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 223 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fickle. 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 Fickle 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 Fickle 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 Fickle 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.

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.
