“Stephanie took excellent care of my two cats and high energy dog while my husband and I were in Italy for nearly two weeks! She was very communicative, shared the best photos, and even watered our plants! She goes the extra mile for animals, and I could see in every photo how happy my girls were to be spending time with her. So grateful to have found Stephanie and will be recommending her to all my friends and family :)”
“Heather was amazing!!! My friend who was supposed to watch Luke had a last minute family emergency and I had to book Heather the night before I left. My buddy is 14 this month and had a bladder infection so I was going to cancel my trip until I met her and saw how comfortable Luke was. She took such incredible care of him making sure he finished his antibiotics and got all his supplements. I loved all the updates and photos. Highly recommend Heather for a senior dog or any dog you want well cared for. Thank you for allowing me the time to be with my family and not worry about my best buddy.”

I will look after them as if they were my own. And i will make sure that they are having a good timee!!!!
“Edek is a STELLAR person, fur baby lover, and photographer. The words that best describe this sitter? Detail-oriented, intelligent, hard working, bubbly/optimistic, empathetic. I have always felt guilty leaving my babies, even with full time sitters. Not once did I feel that way when I booked with Edek! Every day I got updates, multiple photos of their care, and cute pictures that absolutely captured my 4 baby’s personalities. I was able to enjoy my vacation and relax for the first time in years. What a gift. I absolutely will be booking with Edek again- I cannot sing high enough praises. My babies were calm and playful when I returned (as if I never left), the house was even cleaner than I left it, and my camera now has wonderful pictures to show people when they ask about my pets❤️”
“Silas went above and beyond for our pets! She watched our 4 dogs and 2 cats while we were out of the country. She was a great communicator the whole time. There was an issue with an appliance in the house while we were gone and she kept me updated and helped coordinate the repairs. She also sent photos and updates of the pets. We really appreciate that she treated our fur babies with love while we were away.”
“Brooklyn was FANTASTIC. The dogs loved her and you could tell she genuinely loved them. She sent so many cute photos and gave the dogs everything they needed plus some. Will absolutely be booking with her again next time we need a sitter.”
“Katey was amazing. She was very communicative and attuned to my pets needs and personalities. She was reliable and I came home to happy pets. I would definitely use her again!!”
“Nayeli did a great job watching my dog! She followed all my instructions and gave me lots of updates throughout the weekend. I returned to a happy dog and a well taken care of home. I would recommend Nayeli and book her again!”
“Noelle is amazing. Seriously amazing. She took care of Winnie during the heat wave and offered to bring Winnie back to her house that has AC. She went above and beyond to make sure Winnie was safe and cool during the very hot days. She sent lots of photos and is very observant and aware! Will definitely be reaching out to Noelle again. The best!!”
“Ashley did an amazing job watching my dog for the weekend! She came over for a meet and greet and made sure she understood exactly what my dog needs. She followed all my directions for care and gave me detailed updates. I came home to a clean and tidy home and a happy pet! I would definitely recommend Ashley and book her again!”
About: I’m a dependable dog lover who enjoys creating a calm, fun environment for pets. Whether your dog needs long walks, structured routines, extra patience, or just plenty of affection, I adapt to their needs. I have experience caring for energetic puppies as well as older dogs who need gentler attention and consistency I’m currently working part-time, so pet care fits well into my schedule. I’m available on weekends, and on weekdays I’m available after 3 PM. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, care, exercise, and companionship I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medication, routines, and house rules. In both my home and a client’s home, I make sure pets have plenty of attention, fresh water, exercise, and supervision. I also give regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for
“Sarah did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs - Archie and Frankie! She sent us updates daily with pictures. The house was clean when we returned and she even watered my outside plants. We will definitely request Sarah to pet sit for us again. Thank you Sarah!”
About: I have over 6 years of experience caring for pets, including dogs, cats, and chickens. I grew up with a Golden Retriever and regularly walk Henry, a Miniature Goldendoodle, and his brother Charlie. I’ve always loved spending time outdoors and exploring different parks whenever my part-time work schedule allows, and I would love to have a furry companion join me in doing something I already enjoy! Caring for Henry and Charlie has also helped me become even more attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routines. I’m comfortable following specific routines, keeping track of feeding times and medications, and paying close attention to changes in a pet’s behavior or well-being. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality. I’ll always do my best to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away, just as I would care for my own! My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to give pet care the time and attention it deserves. I’m currently taking on babysitting jobs on the side, but I have plenty of availability throughout the week and can work around my clients’ needs. I’m especially interested in walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to discuss a schedule that works best for you and your pet! I always make sure pets are in a safe, comfortable, and clean environment. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medications, and any other instructions from their owner. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs and will keep you updated with how your pet is doing. I treat every pet with patience, care, and respect, and I want them to feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away.
About: My husband and I have had dogs most of our lives and we love all kinds of furry animals. We have one dog currently and 2 cats. We lost a dog last year to diabetes (he was also blind), so we are comfortable with medications and some extra TLC. We can provide separation, but for your dog to have the best time, it would be ideal if they are used to cats. We have a fenced yard, a million toys and dogs are part of the family. My husband is also an avid lizard lover and currently has 3 (secure away from pets), but if you need someone to check in on your lizards, he is willing to help. We have struggled with finding this service ourselves. I currently work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. I have a few set meetings throughout the week, but most everything else can be done at any time! In my own home we have a fenced backyard, lots of treats, water and comfy beds to sleep in. While at your own, I will respect the rules and boundaries that you have established and give your furr baby normalcy and lots of love.
“Holly watched our pup and our home for an extended house sitting stay. She was very respectful and kept the home tidy as well as kept our dog company. We’ve used Holly for several months and will continue to do so in the future! Thanks again Holly!”
About: I taken care of all types of dogs and cats since I was young. Once I learn their routine, I find it very easy and natural to bond with the pet! Trained or not I believe all animals deserve a loving sitter to keep them engaged while their parents are out. I am currently a part-time student and do the rest of my work remotely allowing ample time to hang out and play with pets! I have a fenced in yard with a friendly Belgian Malinois that would love to share his toys! I also have a very large crate and room dividers if they’d prefer some personal space.
“Emma took excellent care of our cats!!! This is our second time using her and we already have her booked for an extended trip this summer. She has an easy, relaxed, and calming presence. This is a perfect for our slightly anxious cats.”
“Sophia was amazing she made sure my boys were happy and well exercised. She sent pictures and videos of my boys having a nice time with her. Her photos and videos allowed me to enjoy my vacation even more. I will definitely be booking her for future dog sitting jobs.”
About: I’ve taken care of all different types of dogs like chihuahuas to pitbulls I’ve watched my sisters dogs over the past years she trust me and i’ve always keep her updated on how her dogs are doing I provide daily photos and videos of her dogs so that she is comfortable and aware of how her doggies are doing I have two dogs of my own and I try my best to keep them happy and active just like I would with any other pets! I’m currently working a full time job, I could do mornings and evening and most weekends I’m always mostly have weekends off my full time time! I’ve dog sat for my sister and normally I follow their schedule/ instructions but I also love to add playtime and keep the dogs nice and healthy and I try to be as comforting and helpful to them
“Stuart took amazing care of my dog, Denali, while I was out of town. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly great with dogs. Denali loved him! I completely trust Stuart and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter.”

Madison did a great job watching my dog! She followed all my directions and left a clean home. She was responsive to messages and agreed to do a meet and greet before. She even watered my plants while I was away. I returned to a happy and healthy dog! I would definitely book her again and recommend her to a friend!! :)
Rain did an incredible job taking care of our anxious corgi and elderly kitty. We had just moved from out of state and it was our first time ever hiring a pet sitter while we flew back home to visit family for about five days, so we were nervous about figuring out animal care while we were gone. We found Rain here on Rover and they did such an incredible job at taking care of them and sending cute pictures and updates while we were gone. When we came home, we could tell that they were happy and well taken care of and Rain even left a little calming dog tv for our boy in the interim of our plane landing/driving home. I would highly recommend Rain and would most definitely book again as well! ^_^

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Fife is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $72 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 7,584 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
