“Marissa was outstanding! Perfect communication and pictures were sent daily, which we loved and greatly appreciated! Our flight got delayed which caused us to miss our connecting flight and we had to stay an extra day. Marissa was very accommodating and understanding of that and took care of our dogs perfectly! We love her and will definitely be scheduling any sitting needs in the future.”
“Tanna was amazing with our dogs & cat. She gave special attention to each one including playtime. Her compassion for animals is unmatched. She was gracious in our home & beyond trustworthy. Anyone lucky enough to hire Tanna should do so without any worries. We hope we'll be able to book her again another time!”
“Zach was amazing! Always friendly, attentive, and punctual. Mikey and Zeus have pretty specific needs and Zach made sure they were well cared for. Highly recommend, will book him again 😊”
“First time using overnight care for my pups and couldn’t have gone better. She was very kind and very responsive to messages and questions! Very great experience and will be keeping her at the top of my list!”
About: Hello, My name is Taylor and I love dogs and have grown up with them my entire life. I am comfortable caring for them in your home. I enjoy walking and helping with training while dog sitting. I am comfortable with small and larger dogs breeds as I grew up with cocker spaniels and labs. I have two of my own dog's, they are Australian shepherds. They are 6 and 7 years old but still act like puppies. I would love to share my love for dogs with your pet. I have volunteered at a local dog shelter in the past and have lots of experience working with many different breeds, ages and types of dogs. If you have any questions or are interested in working with me please feel free to message me. My schedule is pretty flexible in December and I am open to working around your schedule as well.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for a large majority of my life! It all started with my grandma who has been doing it for as long as I can remember. I would always watch and sit with her while she was dog and cat sitting for many years. I can do anything from walking, feeding, playing, cleaning up after, and overall making sure your pet is happy and healthy while you are away! I’m currently working on with kids Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 2-6 so part time, which I love! I also have classes at NDSU Monday, Wednesday, and Friday but only from 10-11:50 so pet sitting can easily fit into my schedule! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to create a safe, comfortable environment tailored to each pet’s needs. This includes feeding them on schedule, providing plenty of fresh water, giving lots of attention and playtime, and following any special instructions from the owner. I also keep their space clean and watch for any signs of health issues, so I can respond quickly if needed. Whether at my place or theirs, the goal is to keep pets happy, calm, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I have had cats or dogs my whole life. Have loved animals as long as I can remember. I like animals more then most people. I have had 2 dogs in my life and both have passed away so I'm ready to love on other dogs without the responsibility of ownership I currently work full time but am free most weekends. I'm willing to feed, water and scoop litter. Can let dogs out before and after work some days. Animals seem to like me and I love to give pets and cuddles. I am experienced in health care so could give meds if needed
About: Since I was 12 I have non-stop taken care of dogs at any chance I got. I grew up wanting to be a veterinarian so that I could help dogs and animals. In my home town I would constantly watch dogs for family, my neighbors, and friends. From taking their dogs on walks to bathing them, I enjoy every minute of it. I’m a sophomore in college who absolutely loves all animals, dogs in particular. I do school online so I am very available every single day of the week. I do live in an apartment so not necessarily the ideal situation for a dog but I am more than willing to take them places for exercise. I do not have any pets at this time.
About: I enjoy walking and being outside! I am currently a NICU nurse and only work 3 days a week so I like to find ways to be outside in my free time! I have experience with all sorts of breeds, ages and sizes. We just recently raised and sold a litter last fall! My dog went back home to be on the farm where she has more freedom! I am missing having a dog for sure! I enjoy using pets as a ways to get outside and exercise! I enjoy the happiness each dog brings me, and look forward to experiencing more! I am very good at following directions and pay attention to detail very carefully! I am very observant to each dogs needs and flexible to what they need!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of various sizes from a young age. I have grown up with very large dogs. I have experience boarding and training dogs in Minnesota with the organization Pack Evolution MN. I work a hybrid job and spend lots of time at home throughout the week. My partner and I both stop at home several times in a work day to let our own Labrador out. Whether your dog is very active or very laid back, I can match their energy! I love to take dogs for longer walks if they are able to, as it gives them something to look forward to in their day! I have several enrichment toys in the house as well.
About: Able to give your dog long walks and play time. I’ve had a dog since I was born and have experience in both taking care of cats and dogs. I’m currently in school but have other family members at home willing to help take care of your pet. Will have regular eating times and lots of potty breaks. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I do have a neighborhood where we are able to go on long walks. Along with a big house for play time.

Julia did an amazing job watching my dog, Cora! She was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond by bringing my Amazon packages inside. Cora was happy and clearly well cared for when I got home. I would definitely book with Julia again and highly recommend her! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

FAQs for House Sitting - Fife
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 119 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fife. 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 Fife 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 Fife 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 Fife 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.
