“Michael did such an amazing job caring for our dog Millie and our home for 9 days. He was communicative and sent daily pictures. It was clear from meeting him that he puts great care and intention into his pet sitting jobs. He also left the house super clean. We will definitely have Michael back for any future needs!”
“Ryenne was a great house sitter she took care of our two dogs and three chickens for a week watered my garden and plants. The house was nice and clean when I returned. We would definitely use her services in the future.”
“Misao did an incredible job taking care of my dog and cat for the weekend. She came to our house the week before to get acquainted with the animals and discuss their care and they were both immediately drawn to her. Misao spent quality time with both animals and sent lots of wonderful photos. Both animals ate all their meals, which is a feat because usually my dog refuses to eat when we travel. Misao kept our house in pristine condition and helped with small tasks like bringing in mail and packages. Misao has a beautiful and kind spirit and I will absolutely be hiring her again to care for my fur babies.”
“We came home to happy animals and a very tidy house. Megan was very communicative during the entire stay. Definitely had a peace of mind knowing she was taking care of the fuzzy ones.”
“Kelsie was so helpful for stepping in to stay with our dogs over a holiday. She was awesome with communication and seemed very comfortable with even our old dog who needs some extra support now and then. I hope to hire Kelsie again in the future!”
“Lisa is just wonderful! I felt very comfortable leaving both our senior dog, and our 1 year old puppy in her care. She's very nice. She arrived at the scheduled time. She was respectful of our home, it was just as I left it. She spent quality time with both our dogs and made sure they got outside plenty. I look forward to having her come back soon to take care of our pups.”
“Yvette was amazing with my baby Dior! She kept me updated and was so patient and kind. She ended up getting so many snuggles and kisses!! She made going out the easiest time as I had nothing to worry about with Dior. I will definitely use her again!! Yvette was amazing!!!”
“Allen was great! She stayed in my home to watch my dog for the weekend and I came home to a happy dog and clean house - no mess, she left it exactly as I left it to her. She was very easy going, communicative, and my dog instantly got along with her even though he can be a little shy. Will book again if the opportunity comes up!”
“We have booked with Hannah multiple times and our dog always seems relaxed and well taken care of. We had to go home for 2 weeks and we are so happy for the attentive care and responsiveness. She will continue to be our go to!”
“Jennifer did a fantastic job watching our older pup! She went above and beyond what we had asked with extra walks/snuggles to make sure our sweet girl was taken care of while we were out of town. Will definitely use her services again! Can’t recommend her enough!”
“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.”
“Brieanna was a great house sitter. She cared for our dog recovering from a CCL injury and ensured he was given lots of attention while being sure he maintained an appropriate amount of exercise.”
“Megan did an exceptional job watching my very big but silly 7mo/65lb puppy for a night! She sent no less than 10 photos and a few updates as the night went on. Typically he doesn’t want to sleep/cuddle near someone “new” but he took to her right away and fell asleep with his head on her lap. Megan left the house as I left it and even started the laundry with the bedsheets (despite me telling her not to worry about it!). Would highly recommend and I’ll be booking her again in the future.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Kevin! He took fantastic care of our two very different family members—our quiet cat and our high-energy Dutch Shepherd puppy. From the start, Kevin was incredibly communicative, providing regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. He was clearly very thorough, making sure all instructions were followed perfectly and giving the puppy plenty of exercise and training reinforcement. Most importantly, he was deeply caring; both animals clearly bonded with him quickly and were happy and relaxed when we returned. We wholeheartedly recommend Kevin to anyone needing reliable and attentive pet care, and we would welcome him back anytime!”
“Holly was great, excellent communication and stellar photos (seriously, I’ll probably frame some). Took great care of my home and my dog, who looked like she was having the best time in all the pics. Would definitely use Holly again!”
“They crushed it! Our three cats and dog were so over and cared for while we were out of town. They were us super responsive and a treat to have in our home. Will absolutely book again in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fircrest
Gabrielle was such a great house sitter she offered to bring in mail, water plants, and kept me up to date on what was going on around the apartments. She sent pictures of the dog every day and brought him to local parks. Upon return the place was clean and the dog did not seem stressed. Would book again!
Kevin was a great house sitter and dog sitter! He was dependable, quick to respond to messages, and very professional. He watched our dog on short notice over a holiday weekend, which we really appreciated. We will definitely try to book him again when we go on another vacation!
Taking care of our ‘frightened by fireworks’ furry friend over the 4th of July weekend was a tall order but Amanda did amazing! I could immediately tell from the photo updates that our little guy felt safe with her. We appreciated the daily updates and could confidently enjoy our time away. Thank you, Amanda!
Sierra was great with our 4 needy poodles. She went above and beyond with our cocktail, tortoise and gecko too. She checked in with us daily, the herd was happy, and not at all anxious went we returned home. We highly recommend her. If she can handle our crazy bunch so well, she can do anything.
We had a great experience! They took wonderful care of our dog, Myles, and our home while we were away. Communication was excellent, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything was in good hands. We came home to a happy pup. We’d happily have them stay again and highly recommend them!
Sarah was wonderful! This was my first time using Rover (and my first time using a pet sitter who wasn’t a coworker), so I was a little nervous, but she made the whole experience easy and stress-free. She was patient with all my questions and even shared some helpful tips for future pet-sitting needs. I came home to a very happy dog and a very content cat, and I really appreciated the daily updates and photos. The biggest surprise was my shy cat—he usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but he became comfortable with Sarah so quickly! I would absolutely recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, especially for a weekend away.
Ashley was amazing, my kitten absolutely adore her. Unfortunately my kitten developed an issue during our trip but Ashley caught it immediately, got her to the vet that day and sat with her there until midnight. Ashley was incredible and I will definitely be rebooking with her.
Payton was great. We had to schedule only a couple of days ahead of time and she was willing to accommodate us and came out next evening for a meet & greet with our menagerie. The dogs took to her instantly - which is not common for our husky in particular. Everything went well the day of her stay with our pets and everyone was happy. We’d happily recommend Payton!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fircrest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fircrest on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 6,889 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fircrest. 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 Fircrest 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 Fircrest 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 Fircrest 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 with handling special pet needs in Fircrest. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
