“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!”

“Andrew did an incredible job taking care of our two dogs while we were away for a long weekend. He was attentive & responsive throughout our trip & left our house absolutely spotless. We have already booked him again for our next weekend away!”


“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 :)”

“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’ve been around dogs and cats all my life. In the past couple of years, I even started taking care of horses! I’m open to learn anything about pet sitting and see this as a great way to help out those in my community. I’m a current graduate student in class most of the day. After 5 pm might work best and weekends are usually open. I’m open to work around schedule if necessary. I would be honored to pet sit in your home honor any wishes to maintain boundaries and respect of your private space. Please let me know in advance of any specific needs.
“Megan did a good job of house sitting with my two Standard Poodles while I was out of town for more than a week. Everything went as planned, with plenty of updates and good communication. Pups, of course, were happy to see me when I got home, but they were well taken care of, and we settled quickly back into our normal routines. Will use again if our schedules match.”

About: I have cared for dogs and pets for family, friends, and neighbors over the years, including feeding, walking, playing, and checking in on pets while their owners were away. I am reliable, patient, and detail-oriented, and I take pet safety seriously. As a Marine Corps veteran, I understand responsibility, consistency, and trust. I will treat your pet like they are my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I can plan my day around walks, feedings, playtime, potty breaks, and check-ins. I make sure each pet gets reliable care, affection, and supervision while their owner is away. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and respect for the owner’s instructions. I make sure pets have fresh water, regular potty breaks, safe playtime, and a calm environment. I am careful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding routines, and any special needs. My goal is to keep each pet comfortable, safe, and well cared for as if they were my own.
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats of all ages and sizes since I was 10 years old. I can walk dogs of all types, as well as feed and play with, bathe, and take care of any breed of dog, including senior dogs. I have even more experience with cat care and can take care of any cat, including senior cats. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets! I am a student but I take one in-person class and live off-campus, so my availability is very open. I have a gated apartment community with a dog park area and many public parks nearby to entertain your dogs with. My home is pet safe and also pet free at the moment for anyone who would be concerned about that!
“We absolutely loved Carolina! She was communicative, sent lots of photos and updates, and took wonderful care of our two cats and our home. She even went above and beyond by taking care of the litter boxes, even though we told her she didn’t need to. She’s incredibly trustworthy, and we had complete peace of mind while we were away. We can’t wait to book with her again!”

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

We would love to discuss how we can bring you absolute peace of mind. Our daily life is structured around the well-being and enrichment of our dog, Dwight. As Nichole has worked remotely for years, our pets receive consistent companionship and supervision throughout the day. We are early risers, starting with a morning walk and breakfast at 6:00 AM, followed by frequent outdoor breaks every few hours. We prioritize nutrition and long-term health; Dwight follows a specialized diet of raw food, kibble, and daily supplements (turkey tail, green-lipped mussels, cognitive support, and CBD). Our evenings typically include a long, stimulating walk at Shelby Park. We are also diligent with grooming, providing weekly baths and nail maintenance to ensure they stay clean and comfortable. In our own home, our routine is completely centered on our pets—they are never left unattended for long periods. Dwight is always nearby while Nichole works, allowing us to maintain a watchful, attentive environment. We utilize enrichment tools like lick mats, Kongs, and snuffle mats to keep their minds engaged. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we mirror the care we give our own. Every pet’s unique schedule—from feeding times to bathroom breaks—is strictly followed. We are highly experienced in administering complex medications and supplements. We understand that a change in routine can be stressful for animals, so our priority is to provide a calm, affectionate, and predictable environment. We are respectful of your home’s boundaries and will keep you consistently updated so you can travel with complete peace of mind.

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 321 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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
