I would love to give a not so great review so Zalie doesn’t get too booked for us 🤣 but I can’t do that. She was amazing from first contact to the end of her stay. Our pack was so happy and they were well cared for! We are new to this area and leaving behind our other pet sitter was hard. I’m very picky because our animals are not just pets but family. So finding Zalie is going to make it easier to get to do a few things dog free. Thank you Zalie 100 star rating!!

Danielle is hands-down an extraordinary pet sitter! She watched our dog Oso for 10 days while we were out of cell service and handled everything flawlessly. She was wonderfully patient when our travel home ran late and showed so much love and dedication to Oso. She was even kind enough to leave sweet plant gifts for our three daughters! Oso formed a true bond with her, and we returned home to a happy, well-cared-for dog. Highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for top-tier care!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Junny and Johmel. Junny did a meet-and-greet before our trip, asked thoughtful and thorough questions, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. We had them watch our two large pitbulls in our home while we were on a trip for 4 nights. We received amazing photos and detailed updates twice a day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They checked in proactively with any pertinent details, were flexible and accommodating with our flights in case of delays, and left our home exceptionally clean. We couldn’t have asked for better care for our dogs—highly recommend and we would absolutely use them again!

Alex and Kelsey took wonderful care of our home, our German Shepherd (Cadence), and our cat (Mio) for a week while we were away. We came home to a house that was just as clean and organized as we left it, and both pets were happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. They were easy to communicate with, professional, reliable, and gave us great peace of mind while we were traveling. It was obvious they treated our home with respect and kept everything safe and secure. We wouldn’t hesitate to have them house sit for us again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring sitters.

About: I currently own a kitty, pup, and some chickens. I have fostered kittens and trained my dog to do agility, I also grew up doing 4H! I have owned a horse and goats as well so I have experience with farm animals! I love bonding with animals and they’ve always been such an important part of who I am. I promise you I will take the best care of your sweet pets! I am in California temporarily for winter time as I am a College student from another state. I am looking to work whenever/as needed! ! When I have pet sit/house sit in the past, I spend a lot of time bonding with the pets and making them feel safe and not alone. I am flexible when it comes to stopping by to check on them or living in to take care of them. I love giving out treats and playing but of course it’s up to you as to what I’d be allowed to do!

Hannah is a gem and I know I am blessed immensely to have found her. Hannah is trustworthy, caring, and has an almost mystical way with animals. She came to watch my two dogs and three cats with very little notice, allowing me to attend to an urgent family matter. Even with the short notice, Hannah came to meet everyone to make the situation as gentle as possible. All three of my very shy and wary cats came out of hiding right away, the shyest of whom approached Hannah for a pet! My elder dog (13 years old) has lost most of his vision and normally barks at new people, yet he was calm and happily "woo-wooo!"-ing the moment he met Hannah. My anxiety on leaving and what I was facing was greatly alleviated as I knew all of my furry family members were receiving exemplary care. Additionally, Hannah has a great foundational knowledge of animal behavior. As I said, Hannah is a gem, and I recommend her with the highest of respect and regard.

Such a great bubby sitter! Definitely asking him back. Took care of my 17 y/I chaweenie who needs a lot of love and attention. Sent pics and the pics showed shabubas was comfortable with him. Also left my house clean which was very nice. I would definitely recommend him for doggy services. He is now my ol' man's new bestie. 💜

We were lucky enough to book Alex for two weekends in July! Having consistent care for our pup, who struggles with some separation anxiety, was a huge relief. Alex was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about our dog. We came home to a happy pup and a well-cared-for house. Highly recommend!

Alonzo was so wonderful with our dog. He is a very nice person and we felt comfortable with him at once. He sent pictures and videos and was available to message and responded promptly when we checked in. He took our boy on multiple walks and played a lot of fetch with him. Our dog is shy of new people, and he dealt with that really well. I highly recommend him.

Nora did an outstanding job taking care of my goldendoodle! I had to take an overnight trip unexpectedly and Nora was literally at my door fifteen minutes after I contacted her. She gave Aggie plenty of walks and attention and sent lots of updates with cute photos - I could tell that Aggie was really enjoying herself! Everything was net as a pin when I got home. Terrific job all around and I really appreciated Nora's dedication and professionalism. Would absolutely book again!

Ingrid is a fabulous sitter! We have a 5 month old puppy who needs a lot of help with socializing, and Ingris was super helpful. She brought puppies and dogs from her friend and family pack, and it helped our puppy so much. I could tell as soon as she walked in the door that she knew how to handle our sweet, but reactive baby. She also did great with our 4 year-old Doodle.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fickle Hill

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 163 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fickle Hill. 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 Hill 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 Hill 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 Hill 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
