“Camille was amazing. It was our first time with Camille and she was awesome! She is great with our Finlay/Goldendoodle and took great care of our home and took extra precautions with the tropical storm as it was approaching. We would highly recommend her to stay in your home and take care of your furry family members”

“I have so many great things to say about Analia and I probably won’t fit them all in this review, but I’m going to try. My partner and I were going on a cross country road trip for two weeks and found ourselves in need of a sitter for our two dogs the day we were supposed to leave for our trip. Before we even met, Analia left an incredible impression. She was compassionate, understanding, and flexible. She agreed to watch our dogs and stop by less than 12 hours before we had to leave. Our dogs are still young and in training, and for some people they can be a bit overwhelming. Analia was not phased at all by this, and from our first interactions, I could tell she was going to give just as much love and attention as we would. She had already looked over our care instructions and remembered facts about them, but she really took it a step further by asking how she could continue their training (something that means a lot to us, but we don’t always expect of others because it can be challenging; we were floored by her thoughtfulness and generosity). We left town feeling so secure having Analia taking care of our dogs. Analia continued to exceed expectations throughout our trip. She very intentionally sent updates, photos, and videos nearly every day, was super flexible when we ran out of food because our shipment didn’t come in, and went out of her way to bring our dogs new toys. When our arrival back home was delayed, Analia was incredibly accommodating and watched the dogs for a couple extra days despite it being last minute and her already having other plans. I feel so lucky to have been connected with Analia, not only because she was a great sitter for our dogs, but because she is such a kind and compassionate person, and was someone I thoroughly enjoyed talking to throughout our trip. She truly is a gem, and someone we will continue to trust our dogs with. If you take anything away from this review, it is that you should end your search here and choose Analia, because you will not regret it.”

“Autumn was great! I came home to two happy dogs and a clean house. She was accommodating of my dogs' special needs, and went above and beyond cleaning up a particularly nasty accident. She also faced a personal hardship during her stay, and was incredibly proactive, professional, and communicative during the ordeal. She could have easily bailed and left me in a bind, but she was flexible, adapatable, and clearly willing to do what it takes to get the job done. You don't see that every day anymore! This booking was for an emergency medical situation, and she was great about not pestering me with a million questions or stressing me out with unnecessary play-by-plays. I trusted that "no news was good news," and that she could hold the fort down. Can't thank her enough for keeping this worry off my plate!”

About: As an aspiring vet, it is my duty to ensure the health and welfare of any animal in my care. I make sure to carefully observe and notate any abnormalities while pet sitting to make sure any issues are caught early on Currently working part-time as a veterinary assistant, on my journey to come a veterinarian, pet care is my everyday life and has been for the past 5 years. I have easy access to a large dog park, and open fields so plenty of outside time is used. My home is also very spacious, plenty of roaming around space with a fenced deck for sunbathing as well

About: I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just extra cuddles, your dog is always in good hands with me. Since I’m not currently working a full-time job, I have a very open and flexible schedule. This allows me to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. I’m able to be fully present and make sure each pet gets plenty of care, playtime, and companionship. In my home, I make sure the space is clean, pet-friendly, and supervised at all times. In a client’s home, I respect their space while giving their pet the same level of care, attention, and affection they’re used to. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, happy, and right at home.

“We had such a great experience with Noelle! Ruby gets nervous when we’re away, and unfortunately she had a few accidents during our trip. We really appreciated how patient and caring Noelle was with her and how she handled everything without making us worry. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Ruby had someone there to comfort her and take good care of her while we were away. We came home to a happy and well-cared-for girl. We would definitely trust Noelle with Ruby again. Thank you so much for taking such good care of her! 🐾❤️”

About: I taken care of animals all my life. Fishes, guinea pigs,hamsters, bunnies, dogs, and cats! I even volunteered at an animal shelter for a summer and it was such a great experience!! I will treat your baby like it’s my own💕 Majority of my day ends around 3:30 due to classes but other times it ends before that in the afternoon. I am free on the weekends unless I am traveling out of town! I live in a first floor apartment in a gated community. All dogs are safe to walk around the complex as every dog is required to be leashed. I also have a lock to my room incase I do any animal sitting, so no randoms can come into my room nor apartment.

About: I’ve owned pets my entire life, mainly dogs. I have owned a variety of breeds but mainly chihuahuas, and now care for my German Shepherd and two cats daily. I have hands-on experience with feeding, walking, training basics, and reading pet body language to keep animals safe and comfortable. I’ve pet-sat for neighbors, including caring for a diabetic dog requiring insulin injections and a special diet. I’m confident administering medication, following routines precisely, and monitoring health needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. Your animal’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first. I update my availability based on my class schedule. I’m looking to use my extra time doing something I enjoy like caring for animals. My schedule allows me to be available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with owners to find times that fit your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I take the time to understand each animal’s routine, needs, and personality so they feel secure while you’re away. In your home, I want to know feeding schedules, crate routines, medications, preferred walking routes, and any house rules you have in place. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured, and I’m attentive to any changes in behavior that might signal stress or discomfort. I keep a calm, clean environment and ensure pets have fresh water and attention tailored to their energy level. You can expect regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel confident trusting me with your pets and for them to feel safe, loved, and respected in my care.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for animals. I’ve always had at least four dogs in my home, so caring for pets has been a part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I have personally trained my dogs from basic potty training to commands such as sit, stay, stop, and roll over. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, extra attention, or reinforcement of training, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. I can also provide overnight care if needed to help keep your pet comfortable in their familiar environment. In addition to my extensive experience with dogs, I have been cat sitting for the past three years. I am experienced with feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure cats receive the attention, affection, and care they need while their owners are away. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I make time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I am able to plan my day around the needs of the pets in my care and can provide updates to owners for peace of mind. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or extra companionship, I am committed to making sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and supervision, while also keeping their living area clean and tidy. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both you and your pet by treating them with the same care and respect I would give my own animals.

About: Although most people see this as a job, i see pet-sitting as a fun and exciting opportunity to make new friends all with their own personalities:)! Seeing as i don’t really find myself going out much now-a-days, pet sitting seems like the only right option needed to be taken way sooner. I believe in everyone having their own schedules for their babies, so i try to keep their routines to allow more comfort for all parties.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 6 years and have experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve regularly dog sat for neighbors, friends, and family, helping with walking, feeding, and giving lots of attention and love. I’m very patient, attentive, and good at reading animals’ behavior, which helps me make pets feel comfortable and safe in new environments. I have experience with both high energy puppies and older dogs who need a gentler approach. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or just some extra company, I’m committed to giving them the best care possible. I’m currently a college student working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting during weekdays and on weekends. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I’m reliable, responsive, and make sure to prioritize each pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, loving environment where pets can feel secure and at ease. I’m very detail oriented and always follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’m respectful of your space and aim to keep everything consistent for your pet. If in my home, I ensure a clean, safe environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, and attention.

“This is the first time I've used Rover for pet sitting. Kristina was available for the week I needed so I did a meet and greet first and my dogs fell in love with her. She stayed and cared for my babies as if I was still here and sent pictures everyday so I could see their happy faces. Kristina is easy to communicate with and took good care of the dogs and my house. I would highly recommend her. I definitely will call on Kristina again.”

Louisa did an amazing job! I have a kitty with special care/feeding instructions that require attention to detail that she followed perfectly. She also took great care of my home and provided updates on everything as I away. I could tell she genuinely cares about animals just from our initial meet & greet too. I always get so nervous leaving my cat when I go on trips but Louisa absolutely earned my trust and I will be booking with her again in the future for sure as long as she’s still pet sitting. Thank you so much again :)

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Braden

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Fort Braden is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $83 per night. 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 347 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Braden. 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 Braden 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 Braden 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 Braden 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
