“Whitney took amazing care of our two dogs while we were out of town! She treated them like they were her own and gave us so much peace of mind, especially with leaving our puppy for the first time! Will absolutely be rebooking Whitney for future stays!”
“Rena was great with my pups and showered them with love. She made sure I knew about their day and how they were doing with lots of pictures and videos, which were greatly appreciated! She made sure one of our pups got her ear drops each day and let me know when she did them. I highly recommend Rena and will use her in the future :)”
About: I’m a responsible, patient, and caring person who genuinely enjoys being around animals. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’m attentive to instructions, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while your pet is in my care I’m available during evenings and weekends, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive and reliable care. I’m flexible with drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. So after work, school or just need a break? But need your furry baby to be cared for?! I’m here!!! I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I’m careful with doors, feeding routines, litter boxes, and any special instructions. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel comfortable and confident while they’re away.
“Miriam was an attentive overnight sitter for my two senior pups. Provided lots of pictures and videos and kept me up to date on their meals! Will book her again next out of town trip!”
“Jessica has made my first time having a dog sitter a truly remarkable experience! She checked in with me often and sent multiple photos and updates, and gave me peace of mind that my doggies were well taken care of. I came back to safe, happy dogs and I'm sure they had a fun time with her! She was also very respectful to my home, professional, and communicated well. Thank you Jessica”
“Alivia was great with our two dogs and cat. Our cat became sick during the time Alivia was here and she acted quickly to help her get to feeling better. Alivia would send frequent updates as well and is a very good communicator. I could not have asked for anyone better!”
“Bethany was reliable and punctual. She sent pictures and videos that made me feel confident that my dogs were happy and well cared for during my trip. I will definitely ask her to care for my dogs in the future.”
About: I've been caring for all types of animals since i was 12 years old. I've trained dogs such as German Shepherds and Pitbulls, and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I currently have the pleasure of loving 2 of my own special needs cats and a large tarantula. As well as this, my previous employment was a small pet care business in Georgia providing drop in visits for feeding, playtime and potty breaks, overnight sitting, walks, extended stays and taking care of exotic animals like birds. Throughout my life I've personally owned a snake, rabbit, hamsters, cats, dogs, spiders, moths and a bird! I'm looking forward to be an extra loving hand for your pets! I'm currently a full-time pet carer, caring for my special needs cats and others' lovely pets. I have plenty of time to care for your beloved fur babies and understand the ever-changing pace of life with pets, and am happy to accommodate. Any timeframe and any day, you can count on me to be reliable! Every pet parent is different and we all like specifics when it comes to the pets we love, so I always like to discuss with you about what you'd like done regarding crating, backyard time, car rides or park visits and waste disposal. I NEVER use punishment on any pet, and instead prefer a positive reinforcement only approach. I would like to be aware of your pets' allergies, triggers, injuries and fears so I can provide the best experience for them and for you!
About: I have loved and cared for dogs and cats for most of my life. I was lucky enough to travel with my family, showing Standard and Giant Schnauzers expanding my knowledge and love for breeds of all sizes and personalities. Throughout my adulthood I have enjoyed caring for my friend’s pets while they were away. I just recently moved to Fayetteville and I miss having pets now and would like to be able to get some sloppy kisses, hugs and purrrrfect companionship and would love the opportunity to care for part of your family while you are away. Walks, playtime and snuggles are a daily routine. Special Skills I am well acquainted with taking care of puppies, and senior dogs with medical needs. I have trained dogs through obedience classes. I’m currently on Summer break and have full weeks of time off from June 1 through August 15th, 2026. The rest of the months I am free from Friday evenings through Sunday evening for home sitting. Holidays I am also free. I follow directions carefully and treat your pet and home as if they were mine. I am happy to text or send picture updates as requested.
“Chatavia was a great dog sitter for Max! She updated me on his well being and sent me pictures and videos of him to keep me updated. I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Sarah just recently sat for our three pups over the Fourth of July holiday and we couldn’t have asked for someone better! She was so patient, sweet and loving with them. My one chihuahua can be difficult at first but she took it all in stride. Thank you Sarah for giving us a stressful free holiday of not having to worry about our babies! ?”
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of pets, with a strong focus on dog sitting and walking. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of walking and sitting for many dogs of all sizes and breeds, ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and love they need. My experience has taught me how to cater to each pet's unique needs, whether it's maintaining their routine, providing companionship, or offering a safe and fun environment for play. I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels happy, comfortable, and well-cared for. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine. On weekdays, I’m available in the mornings and am usually home by 2pm, allowing me to provide walks, feeding, or playtime during these hours. My weekends are completely open, so I’m available at any time to care for pets, whether it’s for a longer walk, sitting, or simply spending quality time with them. This flexibility ensures I can accommodate your pet’s needs while fitting smoothly into my schedule. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment tailored to each pet’s needs. For dog sitting, I ensure plenty of playtime, regular walks, and a consistent routine to help them feel secure. I also provide lots of attention and affection, treating each pet as if they were my own. If I'm caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow any specific instructions, such as feeding schedules or medication, and keep the environment clean and cozy. Whether in my home or theirs, I focus on ensuring pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for at all times.
“B saved our vacation! We booked her last minute after seeing all of her positive reviews. She did not let us down and she is worth way more than she charges! She sent us pictures of our 5 pets the whole weekend we were away. Can’t thank her enough!”
“They are absolutely phenomenal! Very responsive to messages and coordination of the meet and greet to start. Wonderful in the meet and greet with the dogs(3). We knew leaving them for the weekend would be just fine. We received so many photos of them playing and enjoying the dog vacation. Arriving back to our house it was clean and tidy. The same way we had left it. I’d recommend Rey and Jonathan to everyone.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Fort Bragg is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Bragg
Paige was a fantastic dogsitter!! She was great with all of my pets, 2 dogs and 3 cats. She took the time to brush out my German Shepard/Huskey mix while I was away and sent me daily photos of her visits while I was away. She even took the time to play with my pet spider out in the carport (in my defense, I didn't know I had a pet spider). Seriously though, Paige is great and I will definitely book her again the next time I have to go out of town. You should check her out, she is great people.
Jessica has made my first time having a dog sitter a truly remarkable experience! She checked in with me often and sent multiple photos and updates, and gave me peace of mind that my doggies were well taken care of. I came back to safe, happy dogs and I'm sure they had a fun time with her! She was also very respectful to my home, professional, and communicated well. Thank you Jessica
He took care of all 4 of my dogs mind you they are all big dogs and my youngest had to take medicine 2 times a day he sent me pictures and and everything even cleaned my kitchen and a few other places and took care of all my packages that got delivered while I was gone and even cut my backyard cuz it was getting long. All my dogs were loved on and very well takin care of words can not express how grateful and happy I would 100% be booking with him again for sure
Jackson was great! We have four dogs that are a handful with two pages of instructions and we came back to happy dogs and a clean house - which, when you typically catch late flights home, being able to go to bed as soon as you get home instead of cleaning up is the best ever.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Bragg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Bragg on Rover is $34.09 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 555 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Bragg. 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 Bragg 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 Bragg 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 Bragg 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 Bragg. On Rover:
- 88% 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.
