“Aaliyah is the best and very easy to get along with! She stayed the night with my pup for two nights. She was extremely responsive and sent me regular pictures + updates. She was SO flexible with me pushing the dog sitting back one day and then later asking to extend it another day. She spent a ton of time at the house with Bowie and was intentional about giving him enrichment and playtime. She left the key exactly where I asked her to and locked all of my doors. She was respectful of our home and left it exactly how it was before she got here. She is my new go to pet sitter!”

“Booked Emily for a weekend overnight stay. Had another great experience, as always! I have booked with Emily on multiple occasions now and already have future stays booked. I can not say enough good things about her! She is always professional, is a great communicator sending texts, pictures and videos throughout her stay. She takes great care of my home and always leaves it very neat and clean. But most importantly, she takes amazing care of my pets. She really takes the time to get to know them, their personalities and their routines. I have added pets to the herd throughout her stays over the last year with the most recent being a pair of high maintenance guinea pigs. She stopped by for a meet and greet before the stay and was very eager to interact with them and learn their daily care routine. Of course my 3 cats came running to greet her when she walked in. It has been so great finding Emily thru rover. I can easily travel without the worry of who will care for my pets while l am away. She is absolutely wonderful and l highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs.”

“Andrew is great! He really cared about our dog and frequently updated us on how the dog was doing. He also left the house spotless. We will definitely hire him again.”

“Maze says five paws up! 🐾😹 He got to stay in his own kitty cave (a.k.a. our aparment) while being spoiled and cared for by the sweetest sitter ever. I got the cutest updates and could tell he was totally living his best life. It’s such a comfort knowing he was so well cared for and relaxed while I was away — we’ll definitely be booking Paige again! ⭐️😻”

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I currently own 3 large pit-bulls. I take good care of them which includes giving baths, taking them on walks, playing with them, cuddling, and taking them on adventures🩷 I have a 9-5 job, but will have time both before and after to take care of your dog. My priority is you dog. I am available for doggy daycare over the weekends☺️ I have a 0.3 Acres fenced in backyard and lots of toys and activity. I also have 3 fur babies that are super friendly and love playing with other dogs. Basically making it a "homemade" dog park. But my biggest priority is to make sure your dog is getting the attention it needs and the safety. All the dogs will be introduced to make sure everything is good. In addition, my backyard can be separated into two part for safety.

About: I grew up on a farm where I learned about the care for many different animals. I’ve pet sat for others since I was 16 and have been raising my own fur babies for almost 7 years now. I’m gentle, attentive, and value being on time. I’ll treat your fur baby like my own family with professional belly rubs and lots of walks! I am currently in nursing school, so when I’m not in class or at clinicals, I’m available to care for your pet however I am needed any day of the week. I am capable of tailoring care to your pet’s needs. Whether that means needing to be crated, given medication, bathed, or fed a certain way, I will do it. I know how important it is to want to be stress free when leaving your pet in the care of someone else which is why I want to create a safe and trustworthy environment so that you don’t have to worry while away.
“We had to unexpectedly extend our trip by two days and Meghan was very flexible about taking care of our dogs during this time, for which we were very grateful! I don't know what we would have done otherwise. She took good care of the dogs and sent us regular photos.”

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
“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of my two boys! She communicated well and sent pictures, which gave me great peace of mind! Will definitely book with her again!”

About: Living in a household with cats and dogs, and growing up with an affinity for all animals, I have a deep love and respect for the care they receive, and I know how they are just as much family as anyone else. I have lived with and cared for a wide variety of dogs, cats, and even reptiles and birds for family and friends, and I find joy in getting to know each pet's personality and quirks. I’m about to start my final full-time internship to finish my Master of Social Work degree, which will run from May 11th through July 31st. My availability will primarily only be after 6pm on weekdays, however, on Saturdays and Sundays I have much more availability and flexibility (pretty much all day). I am a highly motivated, organized, and driven individual, and I hope that you can trust that even though I have other obligations, your pet and their care are a priority to me. I understand that leaving your pet in the hands of an unfamiliar individual can be extremely anxiety-provoking, but I aim to make the experience as comfortable and transparent as possible by providing consistent communication so that, while you are gone, you can relax knowing your pet is in trusted, safe hands.
“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 :)”

“Isaac was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! Super caring, attentive, and really took the time to understand our dog’s needs. He spent the whole weekend playing with him and making sure he was happy and comfortable. On top of that, he surprised us with a beautiful sketch of our dog, which was such a thoughtful touch. We came home to a very happy pup and couldn’t recommend him more!”

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.
“Lacy and Tally took wonderful care of our fur babies for a long stay over Christmas and NYE! They sent regular updates and photos that made us feel like the babies were getting lots of snuggles and being well taken care of. It was great to have that peace of mind over such a long trip. And the house was in great condition when we got back. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lacy and Tally or to book them again.”

About: My family has owned dogs my entire life - I grew up learning how to best care for them. Very trustworthy, kind, loyal, and loving! I’ve had dogs through all the stages - puppy through senior care. (currently in film graduate school, so my availability reflects mainly weekends. BUT - I am willing to make weekday hours work as well, so please feel free to still reach out to talk about that!) I’m currently a graduate student - but i’m willing to make my schedule work to accommodate your needs! Whatever you need, i’m here to make it work for you, guaranteed! I’m great at following rules and instructions. Whatever your pet needs, I’ll be able to give them guaranteed. I’ve had experience with many breeds also!
About: I have a genuine love for animals and a strong understanding of their needs, which makes me a great pet sitter. I’ve had experience caring for a variety of pets, and I always make sure to provide personalized care for each one. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to connect with animals on a deeper level, helping them feel safe and comfortable. I’m especially patient and attentive when working with puppies, senior pets, or animals with special needs. I’m skilled at recognizing behavioral cues, which allows me to train puppies and provide gentle care for senior pets to keep them healthy and happy. My compassionate nature and dedication to their well-being really shine through in the care I give. Pet care fits into my routine by allowing me to balance my college schedule with taking care of pets. I make time for walks, feeding, and play between classes or in my free time. My flexible schedule lets me provide pets with the attention they need without interfering with my studies or other responsibilities. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to create a comfortable and safe environment for them. I ensure they have fresh food, clean water, and plenty of space to play and relax. I stick to any routines or instructions provided by the pet owner, whether it’s feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, or special care needs. I also make time for walks, playtime, and cuddling to give them attention and affection. In a client’s home, I’m mindful of their space and maintain cleanliness, ensuring the pet feels at ease while the owner is away.
About: I’ve personally kept animals of all sizes and breeds for family members and myself. I currently have a mixed breed dog I rescued and kitten I rescued. I am extremely passionate about animals and I love helping people in any way I can. I am currently working a full time job on weekdays but my weekends are free to walk, stop in, or house sit for your pups or kitties! I am very good at following instructions so I usually take care of pets as closely as the owner would, with specific details on how you take care of them. I am very careful with the animal as well, speaking calmly and interacting sweetly.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Braden
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Braden on Rover is $51.62 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 320 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 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 Fort Braden. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 100% 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.
