“Crystal was fantastic with our Tuco and he was so happy in his update pictures. This was our first time leaving him in the care of someone else and Crystal was perfect. We can tell Tuco already misses his friends and we will absolutely book Crystal again!”
“Morgan was great with my fur babies! And we had a snag in plans so times were adjusted and things worked out well! Would recommend again and will definitely be back again in the future :) lots of pics too which I love 💕”
“Emma did an absolutely fabulous job taking care of all our animals. She is kind, caring and a professional. It was our first time using rover and she made it so easy and sent us pictures of our pets who always looked happy!”
“She was awesome! My pets loved her! When we got home my dog was searching for her lol. My cat is usually very shy around strangers but she came right up to Debbie!”
“Jennifer stayed at our house for 10 days and was fantastic with our cat, dog, guinea pig, and rats. She sent photos every day of my pets snuggling in bed with her or sitting out on the back porch drinking coffee. I am very picky about who is allowed to watch my pet children, and Jennifer is absolutely amazing.”
“Delmis has always been great with our animals and very communicative with us. This time, she had to deal with some unexpected twists when our travel plans changed, and she helped us immensely with her flexibility!”
“I cannot say enough good things about how Brandy took care of our dog. She is caring and really bonded with Abbey. Her daily photos were a source of great comfort for us as we traveled, knowing Abbey was in such good hands. Also, she left the house in wonderful shape - vacuumed the whole house and everything was shipshape. We will definitely use Brandy again when we travel.”
“We really appreciated the care that Kayln took looking after our cat and home. She was always super responsive during the booking process and provided us regular updates during the stay. It was really great to see that our little guy was comfortable around her and the house was well looked after.”
About: I've been around animals most of my life, with my own dog and cat and often visiting my grandparents farm and seeing the animals there. Ive pet sat for a variety of dogs and cats before even a horse and understand the multitude of personalities that come with them. I find joy in getting to know your pet and take the time understanding their body language and hearing what they have to say! I am a flexable chill animal lover who enjoys spending time with a furry friend :) I have a very flexable schedule which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pet! Checking in for a walk or potty break is easy and can happen often! I always love going over your comfortably level and what you expect of me on the job! I appreciate finding out the lay of the land with your home and yard when house sitting/check ins and often take notes so ill remember!
“Ashlynn did a very good job watching our pup while we were away for a few hours. She kept us up to date with some pictures of our pup Onix. Assuring us that everything was going great. We will definitely be future clients if we ever need another dog sitter.”
“Sophia did a great job caring for our two dogs while we were away! They seemed very relaxed around her so I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care. One of our dogs is older and has medication and special dietary needs that Sophia was able to manage. Her communication before and during our trip was excellent. She left our home in great shape too. I would absolutely rebook and recommend Sophia as a sitter!”
“Carlynn was literally the best dog sitter I have ever had. Not only did she make sure my pet was comfortable and well taken care of, she also made sure to leave my apartment in even BETTER condition that when we left! I would rebook her a million times over! Highly, highly recommended her!”
About: With 8 years of house-sitting and pet-sitting experience, I've cared for dogs of all sizes, from small Chihuahua mixes to Golden Retrievers and Labradors. I'm comfortable caring for multiple dogs, handling different personalities, and following their individual routines. Whether it's walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I treat every pet like family and want owners to feel confident knowing their furry friends are in caring hands! I'm currently a college student at Seattle Pacific University, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care! I'm available for walks and drop-in visits between classes, in the evenings, and on weekends. I also offer overnight house sitting throughout the week. With 8 years of pet-sitting experience, I'm comfortable balancing my daily responsibilities while making sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I always do my best to accommodate each pet's individual routine! I believe pets feel most comfortable in their own homes, so I do my best to maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. With 8 years of pet-sitting experience, I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I follow each owner's instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care their pets may need. I also make sure their home is respected and kept tidy. My goal is to keep pets happy and comfortable while giving their owners peace of mind!
About: Ive had several dogs a Siberean Husky and a Black Lab and enjoyed walking them. I've taken care of protective dogs such as Briards Australian Shepard's and Blue Heelers for family, friends and coworkers whos dogs I had previously never met. Should your pupper need a longer walk I can assist as I regularly walk over 20-35 miles a day. I am available from 5am to 11am over the weekend from Friday in to Tuesday and i am available all day on Wednesdays and Thursdays. At this time due to construction and remodeling work around the house I am unable to board and pets for their safety but With my large yard that may be a option in the future.
“Just got back home last night to a very peaceful, happy, calm boy kitten. House was lit for an easy arrival home: Thanks Nathan! I hired Nathan to stay at the house here for the week I was gone. I felt that was the best arrangement for this young male kitten I adopted only a few months ago. Nathan provided a "top of the charts" kitten sitting service and the two of them kept each other busy with play time and plenty of company. Paolo is a pretty energetic, busy kitten and quite social too. Nathan sent me a couple of pictures each day and a couple of play time videos showed up over the week too. I really did appreciate and enjoy Nathan's professional approach to the care taking of my young cat and I highly recommend his services. I'll be scheduling with Nathan on my next out of town trip. Thanks again, very much Nathan!”
“Giannara was amazing. She is great with responsive communication. My basset hound is normally very shy and takes days to warm up to people. Not with Giannara. He was on her lap in a few short hours. There is something special about her. We will be booking her again soon!”
“Charlotte was the perfect house guest and we would gladly have her watch our house and Arlo again. She was very responsive, sent photos, and took Arlo for long walks. Super grateful that we found her as last minute as we did and would highly recommend.”

Sophia did a great job caring for our two dogs while we were away! They seemed very relaxed around her so I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care. One of our dogs is older and has medication and special dietary needs that Sophia was able to manage. Her communication before and during our trip was excellent. She left our home in great shape too. I would absolutely rebook and recommend Sophia as a sitter!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of our dogs and our home while we were away. From the very beginning, her communication was wonderful. She checked in with us every day and sent pictures and videos of the dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind. Being able to see that they were happy, comfortable, and being well cared for allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about what was happening at home. She didn’t just make sure their basic needs were met—she genuinely cared for them and treated them like they were her own. That meant so much to us, especially since leaving your pets behind can be one of the hardest parts of going on vacation. She also took wonderful care of our house and treated it as if it were her own. We came home to happy dogs and a well-cared-for home, which was the perfect ending to our trip. She is dependable, communicative, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals. Knowing our dogs and our home were in such good hands was priceless. We would absolutely trust her to care for them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can feel completely comfortable leaving their pets and home with!
Arielle is honestly one of the best dog sitters I have ever had. If I can give a million starts I honestly would! Communication 10/10 Photos with pups 10/10 On time 10/10 Just everything 10/10. I had a trip with limited service through Yellowstone and I didn’t worry once if everything was okay. She is truly amazing and 100% book her again.
Nellie was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of our little munchkins! She had great attention to detail with our little ones. Specifically, one of our puppies has a history of seizures and requires medication multiple times a day. Nellie also sent pictures and updates on how they were all doing which was comforting given it was one of our longest trips away from home.
Alison and Cassidy were beyond amazing and the best sitters I’ve used from Rover yet. You can tell Alison truly cares so much about what she does and I never felt anxiety during my trip away from my babies. She not only took great care of my fur babies, but I came back to my garden so alive and beautiful. Our home was cleaner than we had left it and we are just so impressed with everything Alison did for us while we were away. We hope we can book her again for all our future trips!
Willow was communicative, on time, and followed instructions for my three cats. Which included medication for one of them. They provided pictures and updates as well. I didn’t feel worried at all while I was gone which is always a great feeling when you have pets.
Ken is our nervous chihuahua Dandy's best buddy! Even though Dandy hates it when I leave on a trip, I always come back to a calm and happy dog who I know has had a great time. Ken goes above and beyond to take great care of Dandy, and I never have to worry while I'm gone. (And get adorable pictures that show he's enjoying his own vacation with Ken!) I've booked Ken several times, and he's my go to any time I have to travel!
I think we were Grace's first customer on Rover and she did a great job housesitting and taking care of our boys. She sent updates and photos each day and was very good about communicating with us if she had to leave the house. We will be using her again in the future.

The average cost of House Sitting in Fobes Hill is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $50 per night.

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 Fobes Hill 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 Fobes Hill 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 Fobes Hill 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.
