“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 :)”

“I take care of my baby very well, more than I expected, I trusted her from day 1 and she will continue to be the one who will take care of her with her eyes closed!!! Excellent work I will leave 5 stars for it!”
“Great sitter! She stayed in my home for a last minute trip and was awesome. My pets took to her immediately at the meet and greet. I have two dogs, a young german shepherd and 14 year old yorkie, and she catered to both of their needs. My yorkie is usually unsure of new people but took to Jennifer right away. Received frequent updates and plenty of pictures throughout the stay. Left my home clean and the pups very happy. Will not hesitate to book again.”

About: While I’m newer to professional pet care, I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. I’m also happy to learn your pet’s individual routine, personality, and preferences. I work during the week, but I’m available outside of my work hours and have more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to coordinate care around your pet’s normal routine and will be upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I’ll carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, crate, and household instructions you provide. I’ll take time to learn your pet’s routine and personality and will communicate with you throughout their care so you can feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands.
“Alanna is the best! She’s so responsive and patient. She took great care of my 2 Australian shepherds, one being reactive and shy. She made our weekend enjoyable because we didn’t have to worry about the pups and their wellbeing. Thanks again Alanna!”
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!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Bragg
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 560 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:
- 87% 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.
