“Jessica was once again wonderful to work with! She was thoughtful of our circumstances and ensured she was respectful of what we had happening while we were away. She also sent photos multiple times a day which seriously goes so far for us ♡ our animals were happy and our house was clean after her stay 🙂”
“I just hired Zoe for the first time and she did an awesome job. I have a large Bernese Mountain dog and three cats, a handful. Zoe kept everyone happy while I was on my work trip. My dog used to be pretty stressed when I would return from trips, but with Zoe she was calm and happy when I got back. I appreciate Zoe for providing so much more than food and basic care for my babies, and highly recommend her.”
About: I have taken care of my own pets since childhood (from cats, to dogs, to rodents, to horses) and have worked with them at several jobs - including The Walt Disney Company. Throughout my education in becoming a therapist I strive to treat every person, and animal, with compassion and patience. My own cat has been on medication for several years, so I’m comfortable caring for aging pets or those who need more attention. I currently am a full-time student, so when I’m not in class I am at home. This provides a relatively free schedule that shifts with every semester. For the Fall I am free all day Tuesday and Fridays and every weekend, and the afternoons Wednesday and Thursday. The first thing is to listen to the pets, how they communicate, and what makes them feel most comfortable. It is their home and their safety that is top priority, and I want them to know I am a safe person.
“Clara is amazing. Both my dogs love her. She send pictures and sends updates during her stay. We will definitely be using her again! I would highly recommend if looking for someone to watch you pets.”
“Olivia did a great job with both dogs and house was clean when I got home and dogs were very well taken care of. She sent me messages right when she got to the house and kept me well informed of how they were doing. I would absolutely hire Olivia again.”
“He was great and really helped me out with a last second booking when I got delayed an extra day coming home due to issues with airlines. My girls loved him and appreciated having company for the night”
“Sammy was great! She came by to meet Leo prior to our vacation and asked all sorts of questions which really showed me she was paying attention to all of the details and that doing a good job was important to her. Sammy sent me a few messages while we were gone with updates about Leo and let me know when she arrived and left. I hope to use her services again this summer!”
“Kyan did such a good job taking care of our dog and cats while we were out of town. They were very respectful of the house, and made sure to let us know that Wynnie was itching a lot too. Definitely helped us identify that there needed to be a change in her shampoo to help with some dry skin. We will definitely use Kyan again.”
About: Hi! I am Nilly, I am a certified Medical Assistant. I went to Middle Tennessee State University for my bachelor in psychology and I have received my MA certification through Vanderbilt University. My experience in healthcare has taught me the importance of being patient, attentive, responsible, and gentle when caring for others—qualities I bring into every pet-sitting experience. I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been something very close to my heart. I’ve grown up with German Shepherds, Australian Shepherds, and Corgis, so I’m familiar with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and individual needs. Dogs have always brought me so much joy, and I truly love spending time with them, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving plenty of cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your beloved pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to make that experience as comfortable and worry-free as possible for both you and your furry family member. I will treat your pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities, and I would be honored to care for your four-legged family members while you’re away. 🐾❤️ My schedule is flexible and depends on each client’s needs. I’m happy to work with you to create a schedule that fits your pet’s routine, whether that includes daily visits, walks, feeding, or overnight care. I’ll plan my schedule accordingly to make sure your furry family members receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. I care for pets in their own home by following their usual routines and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also respect each client’s home and follow any specific instructions to ensure their furry family members receive personalized care while their owners are away.
“Evelyn was great with my pets and they enjoyed her. I got lots of cute pictures and updates. She worked great with my schedule that was based on how quickly I was driving through not good weather and we got back almost 12hrs later than intended. I came home to my house cleaner than I left it too which was a great surprise after driving 1800 miles in under 48 hours. She even watched a couple of my clients pets that had last minute bookings!”
About: We currently watch many dogs on a regular and repeat basis. Pictures are sent daily of our visiting pets to their owner via cell phone (not always via Rover). We enjoy meeting new dogs and experiencing their unconditional companionship. We own a mini-golden doodle, Henry. The visiting pup will enjoy the comfort of our home, the company of Henry and courosity of our cats. The back yard is enclosed via a privacy fence. We will host most trained and well behaved dogs. We enjoy other dogs visiting our home since it provides us and our mini doodle socialization with other dogs. The dog sittings that we have done for many years now have given us enjoyment due to the pups unconditional friendships and some have even created great friendships with us and the pup’s owners. Your pup will stay inside with my doodle! Warm and cozy or cool and dry. Also. The fenced in back yard is great for safety and a good place to go! We are a friendly dog and cats loving family that is ready to share our home as a casual place for boarding. We do not crate our visitors unless directed to by the owner. Owner drop off the pet with enough food for the visit, favorite toy and blanket unless price is negotiated for pick up and/or providing food. Must meet and greet first.

“We found Kara at the last minute after our sitter cancelled at the last minute. She was delightful! She listened to our concerns about our senior dog and asked good questions at our meet and greet. She was available and her schedule allowed her to be home a lot with our dog. She arrived on time, took excellent care of our dog and the house was very clean when we got home. She stayed in touch and was able to administer the drugs our dog needs. We would feel lucky to be able to book her again.”
“We were out at ease having Mary stay with our dogs! She was extremely organized with her checklist to ensure we didn’t forget anything. She also sent tons of pics of our pups with smiles on their faces. She will be our go to!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,287 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fishersburg. 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 Fishersburg 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 Fishersburg 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 Fishersburg 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.
