“Misao took amazing care of our cat while we were out of town. She was very conscientious, gave us regular updates, brought in our mail and packages, and left the house cleaner than when we left. Not only was she incredibly sweet, she was timely, followed our detailed instructions perfectly and was overall a great pet sitter! Highly recommend and would hire again :)”

About: We have taken care of dogs our whole lives! From small dogs to big dogs, we’ve had them all. We are experienced with reactive dogs, comfortable walking dogs of all sizes, and are able to provide senior care. We are dependable, reliable, and are both Army veterans. My wife and I just lost our two senior dogs, and really miss having dogs around the house. We can’t wait to meet your dogs! Both my wife and I are currently working part-time, so we have plenty of time to care for your dogs! We will be around over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, and would love to celebrate with your pups. ❤️🎄 We have a fully fenced backyard and there are no other pets in the home. We have indoor and outdoor dog toys, lots of dog beds, and crates of all sizes if needed. We are active and will make sure your dog gets attention, exercise, and plenty of love!

“Allycen was absolutely amazing as a pet sitter for my cat, Nova, while I was away for a week. She sent me detailed updates and lots of pictures every single day, letting me know how Nova was doing and if anything came up. She followed all of my instructions perfectly — from feeding and cleaning the litter box to playtime and even administering Nova’s asthma medication with a spacer (which can be very daunting, but she handled it so easily and with a positive attitude). Allycen spent plenty of time with Nova at each visit, and even helped by bringing in packages that arrived while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Nova was so well cared for. I’m extremely grateful for Allycen’s professionalism, attention to detail, and kindness. Definitely 5 out of 5 stars — I would 100% book with her again next time I travel!”

About: I raised my goldendoodle from 6 weeks old and he’s now 5, well trained, happy and healthy living with my mom. I’m a certified EMT, spent several years working in Urgent Care, and am applying to become a firefighter paramedic. I’ve always loved animals and appreciate the respect it takes to care for them! I am not currently working as I apply for fire departments, so I am available most of the week at any hours typically. I’m very flexible with my schedule! I am very active and love going on long walks or to the park. We have a fully-fenced yard and a three-story home, so we have the space to accommodate playing and/or crating.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life—dogs, cats, and even small animals—so providing loving care for animals is second nature to me. I began pet and house sitting through Rover in the summer of 2025, and I bring a lifetime of experience as a responsible and compassionate caregiver. As a seasoned educator, I’m deeply attuned to the needs of others—both human and animal! I know how to create calm, safe, and nurturing environments, and I approach each pet with patience, kindness, and respect for their unique personalities and routines. I’m especially mindful of the trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and care for your pets. I bring that responsibility seriously and with gratitude. Whether your pets need a cozy companion, a gentle walk, or a calm presence while you’re away, I’m here to help them feel loved and secure.

If she wasn’t available I would probably move the dates of my vacation. I can’t speak for other services but for drop in visits she’s the best there gets.”

About: With 17 years of hands-on pet care experience, my top priority is creating a safe, loving, and comfortable home-away-from-home for your dog. Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, and caring for dogs is something I do with joy, patience, and genuine heart. As a teacher, nurturing is in my nature. I bring that same dedication to supporting my students into caring for every pet that steps into my home; ensuring your dog feels secure, understood, and truly cared for during their stay. **Thanksgiving Break: November 25th - 29th New Year’s Break: Dec. 30th - Jan. 3rd I’ll be home and able to offer potty breaks every 0-2 hours.** **Boarding** I teach full-time Monday–Friday, so I can offer potty breaks every 7hrs during the week. Afternoons and weekends, I offer potty breaks every 0-2hrs, dog walks, playtime in the backyard, and extra bonding time. Plus, newly added A/C to keep the fur babies cool on the warmer days, cameras to check on them when I’m away, and collars with air tags for their location at all times. **Doggy Daycare** I offer doggy daycare 4pm-12am Monday through Friday and ALL day on Saturday and Sunday. I will be home during this time and can offer potty breaks every 0-2 hours. My home is designed to make dogs feel relaxed and welcome. I keep routines predictable and peaceful, giving your pup the comfort of stability while you’re away. I have experience with dogs requiring special/strict diets and oral medication.

About: I had 4 dogs growing up and my parents always had me on a tight schedule with taking care of them. I fed them every morning at 6AM or 10AM and at 5-6PM every night. I also walked them and cleaned their messed when needed, and finally i never let their water bowl go dry. I love dogs and when I’m around them long enough they’ll love me. I will have plenty of time to take care of pets during the week. Im currently trying to make any extra cash I can right now. Which ever way a dog has to he taken care of I can do it. Each of my dogs growing up had different food and ways they needed to eat so I always took care of that

About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I love all sizes and breeds. They are truly a mans best friend and I love being around them. I will walk, run, and have play time with them. I will bath if needed and brush them. I am available in the mornings and evenings and even in the afternoons sometimes. My schedule changes weekly but at the same time it is flexible. I want to help give your furry friends the care they deserve. I am no stranger to puppies and am not afraid to care for them. I can feed your dog or give meds if needed. I have two cats and two dogs myself, a golden retriever and a mini Australian shepherd. My schedule changes on a weekly basis, but on days I am available I am typically available at any time of the day. Feel free to ask about other times and days on my calendar if they do not appear open! I would love to meet you and your furry friend for a meet and greet before accepting a job, that way I can meet you and your pet, understand their needs and your expectations, and ensure we are a good fit! I am used to both large and small dogs, and will treat them as my own! Safety is a number one priority and safety measures will be discussed upon initial meet and greet.

Once again, Holly took such amazing care of my two beloved kitties. She is very much on top of everything and so communicative every step of the way. She takes amazing pictures of my babies for me to see while I am away (my favorite part). But the kitties favorite part are all the cuddles and play time that they get with her during their visits. I’ll continue to reserve Holly for future cat sitting needs as long as she is available. 🐾

Sierra dropped in for five days. Each day she sent photos taken that day. This was the second time for us to have Soerra, first for drop-in. We had her stay overnight with the pups two months ago so she knew our dogs. She kept in contact and one day let me know one pup would not cooperate. She used Cheerios to get past the issue. Greatly appreciate her experience and communication!

Ella went above and beyond this holiday weekend. Our kitty girl looked real happy in her photos and was well take care of! I want to shout Ella out for being respectful as well— I got a notification our front door was jammed (meaning not completely locked) after one of her visits. Wonky door. I didn’t realize until later but she was so quick to turn around and come to back to fix it for us. Looking forward to booking her again. Thanks Ella!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Fircrest

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fircrest is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. 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 10,222 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fircrest. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fircrest. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

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.
