“We can’t say enough positive things about Volkan! Our dog Kiko spent 9 days with him, and she was the happiest we’ve seen her in our absence. Thank you so much for your care, dedication, and consistent communication. We’ll definitely be asking for your help in future!”
“Sydney took great care of our puppy and 2 cats while we were away for the long weekend. She listened to all of our instructions about the pets' quirks and sent wonderful updates. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thanks, Sydney!”
“Mindy was very kind to my cats and kept me updated throughout my trip. She was transparent about her schedule and clearly gave them lots of affection and attention while I was away. The only hiccup was that the Litter-Robot setup was a bit tricky, which caused some issues when I got home. Aside from that, everything else went smoothly, and I really appreciated how much she cared for my kitties.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have hands on experience with both cats and dogs. I’ve rescued and cared for kittens, helped train dogs, and have plenty of experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets on their usual routine. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and enjoy getting to know each pet. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m available for walks, drop ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and can usually accommodate different times with advance notice. know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I always want you to feel comfortable and reassured. I’ll treat your pet like my own, follow their routine and your instructions, and give them plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to send photos and updates while you’re away if you want!
“Ali was incredible! On communication before: Ali was attentive, responsive, and responds with urgency. It was easy to connect and have him come over to meet Stevie (our dog!). Prior to visiting, Ali had us fill out a google form that covered all the "must knows." I really appreciated this because a) it shows the professionalism and b) excellence is in the details! The more Ali knows about Stevie, the better care he can provide. During the visit to the house Ali noted: -Stevie's favorite treats -Toys -Spots to lounge around the apartment -Favorite activities -Neighborhood spots On communication during: Ali was sending daily updates and tons of pictures; this gave us peace of mind! Ali took Stevie to his favorite spots, recorded fetch videos, got a bunch of pictures, and the best part, Stevie was always smiling. Thank you Ali!”
About: I've grown up with dogs all my life. I've had 3 in total - a Tibetan Terrier, a French Bulldog, and an American Staffordshire Terrier mix - and currently have 2. I have also had a cat of which I was solely responsible for and loved dearly. I frequently dog sit and cat sit for neighbors and family. I care for my dogs everyday! I have a French Bulldog and an American Staffordshire mix. They need a lot of attention and I love giving it to them. I frequently watch my sister's cat and give her lots of love and affection. You cannot bring your pets to my house as my dogs are not good with other pets. However, when I am in your home, I'll treat your pets like they're my own.
“Vanessa is simply amazing. All of my fur babies loved her. She was attentive and sweet with all the animals. We have four dogs and two cats and she did a great job handling all the animals, giving them each specialized attention. I highly recommend her.”
About: Right now I have two bunnies at home but my family and friends always have dogs and cats around so I have a lot of experience taking care of both(also bunnies ofc), especially with elder dogs. I'm a very patient and observant person and animals usually LOVE me! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which means I can do drop-in visits anytime during the days, I would prefer dog walking in the afternoon more than the morning but that is totally negotiable! My jobs have been very communication/client based so I intend to bring that same level of care and reliability when looking after pets — making sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease. I will ask you about their personalities and preferences before I meet them. I will start slow to earn their trust. Depending on whether they are energetic or shy, I can adapt to be playful or gentle with them too. During walks, I will prepare waste bags and treats if needed. I will also help clean their paws after a rainy/muddy walk. If your pets have specific toys you want me to play with them, I will make sure they have fun too!
“Eryn was so friendly, kind, and warm! My pup was best friends with her by the end of their weekend together. Felt like he was in great hands. He was still looking for her the day after she left! Thanks, Eryn!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, even though I didn’t have pets growing up. As soon as I could, I welcomed a sweet cat into my life, and we’ve been together for 3 years. Two years later, I inherited a step dog daughter, and caring for both has taught me so much about patience, play, and the unique needs of different animals. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I promise to give them the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I’m currently working full-time but have schedule flexibility! Can swing by mornings, afternoons, nights, and weekends. More than happy to accommodate whatever your furry friend needs! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick closely to their usual routines — from feeding schedules to playtime and cuddle sessions — so they feel right at home. I provide fresh water, clean spaces, and plenty of enrichment, whether that’s interactive toys, gentle brushing, or quiet companionship. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them the attention and affection they deserve.
About: With several years of experience, I am excited to provide top-notch care for your furry companions. Happy to do daily walks, overnight stays, or playtime. I am currently working part time, so I am very available to care for your pets! Looking forward to having a companion on my walks as the weather gets nicer! I love going for walks and am comfortable working with dogs on leashes. Additionally, I am happy to stay in your home so your animal doesn't have to leave the environment they're familiar with!
“Adison is the best cat sitter we had. She is so communicative, punctual, and detail-oriented. She really understands and loves cats, and I never felt so at ease leaving my cats to someone. She took such good care of the house too, and went above and beyond our instructions. Can’t say enough good things about her!”
About: *Currently looking for gigs near for July 25-Aug 2nd this month** Hello! I am a recent Wellesley College graduate but I come from a big family in Austin, Texas. I've looked after dogs, cats, plants, and plenty of farm animals. I adore animals and have two dogs of my own back home. I have great communication and I am willing to send regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind. I read and respond to signals that animals give attentively so your pets will be in great hands! I am looking forward to caring for your homes and pets. I am currently looking for jobs before starting grad school in the fall. I babysit occasionally, but I am often not away for more than 3-5 hours. My home is currently being renovated so I will not be hosting any pets there at the moment. I am happy to consider in home pet care after renovations are finished.
About: I have been a vet assistant and been cat sitting for the past five years. I can also help administer medications. Such as ear, nose, and oral medications. Pet care fits well into my routine. I currently work 12-hour shifts, but I typically have three days off each week, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive, quality care. On my days off, I have a flexible schedule for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. On workdays, I make sure to plan my schedule to ensure that pets receive the care they need, and deserve. I also only accept bookings that I can fully commit to. My goal is to make sure that every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I provide personalized care based on each pet's individual routine and needs. In my client's home, I follow their instructions to help pets stay comfortable in their environment. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, administering medication if needed, taking dogs on walks, cleaning litter boxes or picking up waste, giving plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection, and making sure the home stays clean and secure.
“Jessica took care of our labradoodle while we were out of the country for ten days over the busy winter holidays. She is extremely communicative and friendly, and sent us daily updates and photos while we were away; she was always quick to respond. Jessica stayed at our house, and left the house very clean and tidy upon our return. We knew our dog was in great hands, and felt she genuinely cares about animals. Sometimes our dog gets stressed when we are away for several days, and he didn't show any signs of anxiety. We will definitely use Jessica again!”
“Roxanne was professional and showed great care for the furry fam and their well-being. I know the omnium-gatherum will be excited for her next visit with them in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Andrews
Christina stayed with our three busy dogs for a long weekend; she gave regular updates and followed all of their weird medication, supplement, and feed protocols without a hitch. She was super flexible when our travel plans coming home were uncertain, and left our house spotless. We look forward to having her again!
Great experience with Micah! Tons of updates and pictures. She took my active pup on lots of walks including some really long ones to tire him out! All instructions were followed and the house was in perfect shape when we got back. We’ve been using Rover for 5+ years and this was the best overnight experience we’ve had so far. Highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Andrews on Rover is $99.9 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 6,113 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Andrews. 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 Fort Andrews 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 Fort Andrews 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 Fort Andrews 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.
