“Our cat loved Ron! She is a handful and he did a great job of keeping her busy and happy. A real plus with Ron is that he is with your pet most of the day every day that you are gone.”
“Morgan was amazing!!! She watched our two dogs and cat in our home. She was already up to speed on our pets profiles before our meet and greet, and asked a ton of thoughtful questions about their routines and habits. She sent daily updates and pictures - it was such a relief to know our pets were safe and happy while we were out of town! Morgan also went out of her way to be at the house to let in our cleaning service and wheeled our dumpster to the curb when I forgot. Definitely will book Morgan again the next time we go on vacation! 😊”
“Took great care of our aging senior dog while we were out of town. Great communication and photo updates throughout our time away. House was clean and spotless when we came back - she even brought all of our packages and mail into the house for us!”
“Bridgette was absolutely amazing in all areas! In the pictures she sent, our Buda looked content and she went above and beyond in making our house welcoming to return to. Will absolutely have her back!”
About: I used to have three dogs since I was 10 years old and would help take care of them, as well as one other dog when I was 21 of my own that I would take care of, keep up with her appointments and made sure she was very loved. I usually get free around 3:30 to 4:30pm on weekdays, then I’m free for the rest of the day, I’m free fridays-Sunday all day When I use to have a dog of my own, I’d make sure to feed her and show her she was loved, would take her for her regular checkups.
About: I grew up in a household taking care of many different types of animals. Dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, caged birds, as well as livestock such as chickens, various fowl and goats. My dog walking and sitting experience includes caring many rescues since I was a small child. My calf demeanor and gentle presence works well with all breeds, and I have the patience and experience required to work with energetic and challenging animals. Understanding how dogs communicate and express various emotions is a key part of being a good caretaker. I am a touring bluegrass musician, but have plenty of home time. My schedule works great for folks that are looking for a dog walker while they are out of town or just need someone to help take some of the walking off your hands to free up time! Dont hesitate to reach out with any questions. I am always available and responsive, and very easy to get ahold of at all times. I have a very thorough understanding of the importance of meticulous care and trust in a dog walking or pet care relationship. My approach is always 100% of the time treating your pet, belongings and property with the utmost respect, via deliberation and forethought. I pride myself in curating a safe, trusting environment with my clients.
“Erin was great with our animals, especially our dog who can be nervous with strangers. She was super communicative and provided lots of updates and pictures. Thank you so much!”
About: Reliable, trustworthy, and warm-hearted pet sitter experienced with animals of all personalities. I provide loving, attentive care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and treated like family while owners are away I’m a current student at WWU, majoring in Recreation Management & Leadership. I am able to be available M-TH anytime after 3:30 until June & then summer starts & my schedule clears up! Friday, Saturday & Sunday I’m available all day everyday!! We have a fenced yard & live just a short walk away from Whatcom Falls park & Bloedel Donovan so your pup is sure to have some good walks!!!
About: I have had dogs my entire life and can't imagine life without them! Most of mine were rescues but I have a heart for all (also including cats, horses, donkeys, chickens). My 14-year-old hound mix Charlie crossed the Rainbow Bridge a few years and while he took a little bit of my heart with him, I really miss being with and caring for animals again. I have filled this need with pet sitting and volunteering at equine rescues and equine-assisted therapy non profits. If you want your big and little ones treated and loved just as you would do, I’m here. I’m a baby-on-the-sofa, next-to-me-in-bed kind of pet carer — and I’m happy to follow your rules if that means floors and crates (there’s still plenty of opportunity for love and affection). We will walk, play, snuggle and be as active as your pet needs. We can do car rides and doggy parks, visit friends, have play dates, go for puppucinos. I’m flexible, open, and want only for your pets to be as happy with me as they are when you’re home. I’m what I always looked for in my extensive use of pet sitters: dependable, committed, at home most of the time, and a true animal lover. I’m happy to administer meds as needed, have cared for my own senior dogs with limitations (deaf, dementia, physical limitations, hospice). I will not only care for your fur family as I would my own (which means a whole lotta of love, interaction, play, and attention), but I will care for your home in the same manner. I’m all grown up, mature, responsible, and reliable and have been a homeowner for years. Your home will be clean and maintained, ready for your return, and your pets will be cared for and happy to see you. I have been fortunate to have had at-home pet sitters who were superb. That’s what I wish to offer to someone else and their fur babies. Peace of mind, certainty that all is well, and confidence that their pets are safe, sound, and happy. I am retired from Emory University, so I am readily available. What Susan would like to know about your pet? Please let me know feeding habits, amounts, times. Normal bed/wake-up times. In and out times. Walking preferences, favorite toys, favorite activities. If there’s anything that scares or worries your pet, tell me. Medical history, let me know. Additional Skills Oral Medication Administration Special Needs Dog Experience Senior Dog Experience Cat care-also chickens and birds Can provide daily exercise. I am soon to be retired, work at home part-time and am finally fulfilling my passions-pet sitting, equine rescue volunteering and just bumming around. What could be better-dogs, horses and retirement? Your pet’s usual day is my day. Sleep late or not. Go for multiple brisk or leisurely (sniffing time!) walks. Lounge around at home or go for rides or to the doggy park. I’m flexible, open, and want only to make your little ones as happy as they can be without you.
“Madison was excellent. I couldn’t have ask for a better care person for my animals. She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures. I had a newly rescued dog that needed lots of love and she was amazing with her. My other dog is very active and most happy running. She was able to keep him happy as well. Madison is highly recommended!!!”
“Zoe took amazing care of my dog. She was so kind and responsible. My dog has some specific needs and she handled it all so wonderfully. I asked her to stay at my house and she even washed the sheets! I would 1000% recommend her.”
“Ashley and Zachary are absolutely wonderful. Our pup had to have multiple teeth removed a few days ahead of our trip and I was so nervous about leaving him and also tasking his sitters with giving him medicine multiple times a day. Ashley and Zachary were an absolute dream in this scenario. They took such good care of Fox and and gave him all the care and cuddles that he needed (we gleaned this from the wonderful updates and pics they shared with us regularly). They will be our first call from here on when we need care for our precious pup and our home too.”
“Caitlin is amazing! She took such great care of my cat and 1 year old puppy who was recovering from some injuries and required daily medicine. She has such a great energy and really loves and cares for your pets as if they were her own. The frequent communication and picture updates really eased my mind while being out of the country and away from my puppy for the first time. She is externally responsible, thoughtful and even cleaned up-can’t say enough great things about Caitlin!”
“First time doing a house sitter for our cat and Alexis was so great!! Very communicative, sent lots of photo/video, asked very appropriate questions to help with the house that we didn’t think to ask about. Very helpful in upkeeping the house in addition to caring for our cat. Would book again!!”
“Colton house sat and took care of our 2 dogs for 5 days while we were out of state. It was a very last minute booking and he was very flexible and prompt. I was very impressed with how willing he was to make things work and easier for us. He not only showed up on time for our meet and greet but was actually early! We had a change in our departure plans from the night before at 6p.m to instead the morning of at 5 a.m and he without any hesitation was ok with that and was here at the agreed time of 4a.m. We have 1 senior dog that needs medicine nightly and has major anxiety and our other dog who has IBD and allergic to so many things and also has a very strict diet. Even a crumb on the floor would set her into a major flare up if she got it so that was a concern for us. He was definitely very careful because she never once got sick. He clearly eased their anxiety with us being gone because there was no damage done by them in the house. He followed all the instructions/restrictions for them and did a fantastic job. Any questions he had he reached out to us which was great because there were a couple little things that I forgot to mention (like no dogs on the furniture) and he asked us first rather than just assuming. Not only did he take care of our house and dogs he even fed and gave water to the outside cat that has chosen to adopted us. Taking care of a cat wasn't in the booking but he did it anyway out of the goodness of his heart. He was very transparent with us, respectful and the communication was great. I was not exactly looking forward to having to clean the house after getting home from our trip and having 2 dogs that shed like no other. However I didn't have to because the house was COMPLETELY spotless! I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciated that on top of everything else! Colton is so awesome and next time we go on a trip without the dogs he will be the first person we reach out to!”
“Holly was fantastic with our animals (2 cats, a dog, and a pond)! While we were away on our 8 day trip she sent us some photos, which helped us know they were in good hands. And when we came back, they were only slightly perturbed at our absence, which is to be expected. Would totally have her watch our animals and house again!”
About: I am someone who truly believes that pets are an important part of the family. I have cared for dogs and cats with different personalities, routines and needs over the years and have a background in health care. I am confident I can take excellent care of your pets and give them the fulfillment they need while you are away! I am available daily with no set schedule. I have made the difficult decision to leave the nursing profession after 20 years to do something that brings me joy. I will respect your home and the pet’s environment as if it were my own. I am comfortable being in any type of environment and will follow whatever schedule and routine you need me to in order to care for your baby the best way possible.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fish Town
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fish Town on Rover is $21.4 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 1,123 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fish Town. 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 Fish Town 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 Fish Town 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 Fish Town 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 Fish Town. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
