About: Hi! We’re a sibling team who loves caring for pets and treating them like family. This account is now shared between us, but my sister Kathy will be the primary caregiver and will be handling most of the communication, bookings, and day-to-day services. We both have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. From long walks and playtime to feeding routines and giving lots of attention, we understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. We’re comfortable following specific instructions to make sure your pet stays happy, safe, and on their normal routine while you’re away. My sister, who you’ll be mainly interacting with, is reliable, patient, and genuinely loves animals. She has hands-on experience with pet sitting, walking, and making sure pets feel comfortable in new situations. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, calm companionship, or just someone to stick to their routine, she’s got it covered. We know how important trust is when it comes to your pets, so we’re committed to clear communication, updates, and giving you peace of mind. I am a full time nursing student at the moment. I have quite a busy schedule but I am always free to give my time for dogs and cats because they bring me so much joy. I am mostly free on weekends but I do offer a full Thursday as well. For Monday’s, I have Zoom meetings every week from 4:30pm-6:45pm so if that’s something I can work on while being with your pets, it works out! I can offer to take your pets for walks, or simply play with them in the yard, or just lay around and cuddle with them if they are the more relaxed kinds. I am not offering boarding at the moment, so any services I am offering, it will be held at your place set by your rules!
“Lyndsay was super communicative with me from start to finish. My flight got delayed and offered to stay a few extra hours past what we agreed upon. She sent me pics of my babies throughout the day and the entire weekend. I highly recommend her and trust her with my pups!”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I’m always home so it will easily fit into my weekly routine. I enjoy all animals and look forward to taking care of yours j I will take care of your pet as if it’s my own! I have a nice yard for lots of fun playtime and lots of toys
About: I’ve taken care of and had dogs my whole life. I’m the first person my friends and family go to when they need dog care. I’ve been a sitter for many people for many years. Animals have been my passion for many years. I work in the evenings so I have the free time to look after your precious pups. I am willing to travel as far as you need to make sure you have no worries while you’re gone. I live on 5 acres of fenced in yard to have plenty of space for your fur babies. I also have two sweet pups if your puppy wants friends. I have the ability to crate your babies if you prefer that aswell.
“Karla has been the perfect match for our dogs. She gave us some excellent advice on dealing with behavior issues with one of of our dogs and it's made such a difference.”
“Dana is the dearest sitter! This is her second homestay with our Louie and we just appreciate her so much. She treats Louie like her own and he just loves being with her. Dana is a very considerate house guest, too. We just love Dana and hope she will sit for us again!”
“Danielle was attentive, friendly, flexible, and personable with our sweet Goldendoodle ♥️ Thank you so much for being the first dog sister for our new pup!”
“Sydney was wonderful. We have three small dogs and a cat who can be nervous around new people, they took to her immediately. She got down to their level when she met them and allowed them to take their time in feeling comfortable. She took our younger dog for walks. Sydney is friendly, courteous and responsible. My pets just loved her. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Ruth was amazing with our dog and cat. She was prompt and very communicative throughout the visit. Our dog required eye drops and medicine and she was able to administer them with no issues. She also cleaned up after the pets and ensured our sheets were clean and ready for us when we came back home on a late flight. Lastly, she even coaxed our very shy cat out from hiding! We appreciate her professionalism and taking such great care of our pets!”
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 15. She’s now 11 years old and a healthy pup. I was a certified vet assistant a few years back but could not handle the emotional pain of watching dogs pass in the medical field. I still love dogs and cats and enjoy caring for them. I work full time overnight so I am able to spend daytime with your pet! Tuesday and Wednesday are my usual days off. I can typically spend 6-8 hours with your pet before I leave for work at 9:30pm. My pets are kept indoors and on our screened patio. They keep a strict routine and enjoy sunbathing on the patio. It’s a relatively new home so the screening is strong and has never been broken. We have two litter robots and my home is always in clean condition.
“John was the epitome of patience, kindness and caring for our senior boy. He did EVERYTHING possible to make our old man feel loved and safe. He slept on the his dog bed with him, played calming music for hours on end, gave him all the meds/blankets/pillows he needed. He changed his diapers, gave him a bath and treated Sampson like he was his own. There really aren’t words to convey how unbelievably loving and kind John was, but I’ll say this: we have a doggy camera in the house to make sure our boy hasn’t fallen and hurt himself (he’s very old and he falls now). Every time I would check the camera, John was sitting right next to our dog: talking to him, petting him and asking him what he needed. This guy is the real deal and absolutely adores animals. I wouldn’t hesitate for 1 second to have him as our sitter again.”
“I have never used a pet sitting service before and I can honestly say that I couldn't be more pleased. Kenneth was the absolute best!! He kept me updated with daily text and pictures. He even washed the rug after Gidget had an accident and my house was exactly the way I left it. Kenneth will always be my first choice. If you want the best, then hire Kenneth. You will not be disappointed.”
“I highly recommend Lily!! She was a sweet kind wonderful sitter for our three very different needs dogs- a dog lover!!! We had a Puppy , 14 yr old sick dog and middle of the road 3 yr old with anxiety - she handled them all beautifully !! With love and compassion! I loved the updates , videos, pictures etc you never have to wonder what’s going on. She keeps you updated. Never had a worry ! if I could give more than five stars, I would!! Couldn’t have a better sitter! I will be using her again if possible I’m sure she’s in demand”
About: Dogs are the best! I’ve raised a lab, a pit bull and even a mix from puppies. My childhood dogs were a lab and cockapoo so I’m used to large and medium dogs. It’s a joy to have my home open where dogs feel right at home … on the furniture, running through the patio and back yard. Funny fact … I’ve been peed on twice at a dog park, once by a Great Dane! 🤣 My teenage son (who wants a dog of every breed!) would help give cuddles and playtime on the weekends. I used gentle training methods (and lots of cheerios) with my puppies. With our previous dog, we took the PetSmart training course with our lab mix and that was really helpful. Our home and lifestyle are best suited for larger dogs. I work from home. Dogs need play time and connection as well as their own little space. Whatever they’re feeding schedule is, I would stick to that so it feels as close to their home life as it can. We never feed human food (unless directed by you) and discourage begging from the table by keeping their food near the kitchen. Our neighborhood is safe to walk if longer jaunts are called for. The door to the back porch and to the fenced yard are open when we are home. Some dogs enjoy digging holes and chasing squirrels on the fence line! The perimeter of the fence is secure and all dogs come inside when we leave the house. They just have free reign to choose when they go out and come in if we’re here with them. We have tennis balls, a frisbee to play fetch and ropes for tug of war. Occasionally, a sock is sacrificed to the game. Whatever your dog’s schedule is, we can accommodate it and they’ll be in the cuddle pile with us anytime they want. My dogs were always crate trained so I’m confident in helping a dog have their safe space and have plenty of room to set them up. I don’t currently have extra crates, so please bring yours if your dog is comfortable with that. Dog feeding time and space will be private so there’s no sneaking food or territory issues. Basically, think of this as granny’s house. I might spoil them. I won’t send them back sugared up though! I’m home all the time as I work remote. If I’m out of the house, I’ll mark the days unavailable. I have three bedrooms so dogs can have quiet space of their own or come chill with me while I work. My fence was replaced in 2024 so it’s secured and sturdy. I keep the yard mowed so it’s perfect for the dogs. With the screen porch and couches, dogs can enjoy indoors or outdoors anytime.
“If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets as if they were her own, Francesca is the person you want!!😁 I AM SERIOUS. SHE is the person you want for your fur babies!! I am 10000% sure YOUR PET WILL CHOOSE HER. Not only did we schedule Francesca a couple months in advance, we ended up having changes to our vacation and reservation. We notified Francesca in advance and she happily adapted to the new plans (this happened a couple times!) As someone who probably “over thinks” the care our pets receive (they’re our babies!!), Francesca went above and beyond.. Francesca recently stayed with our dog, Blu, and our cat, Milo, while we were away (we boarded our other two dogs to “try out” Rover), and we could not have asked for a better experience. From the moment we left, she provided multiple updates, photos, and messages throughout each day, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. It was clear that she was not simply checking in on our pets—she was genuinely engaged with them, attentive to their needs, and invested in their well-being. She allowed Blu to sleep with her (as we normally do) and cuddle her (our pets are very cuddly). This meant so much to us as we’d never expect for someone to give up their personal space, but she did! She followed our pets’ routines exactly as requested, ensuring consistency and comfort while we were gone. Beyond caring for our animals, she also treated our home with the utmost respect. She kept everything clean, did laundry, washed dishes, and left our home in wonderful condition. What truly stood out was her calmness and professionalism during an unexpected situation. One of our pets had an accident while we were away, and Francesca immediately called us, kept us informed, and handled everything with remarkable composure and compassion. During a stressful moment, she was exactly the kind of person you would want caring for your beloved pets. She noted when our dog didn’t finish his food or supplements, when he had gone potty, and even shared what she was doing/her personal plans. Francesca is caring, responsible, communicative, trustworthy, and incredibly compassionate toward animals. We never once worried about our pets because we knew they were in excellent hands. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and we will absolutely be using her again in the future.🐾”
About: Hi! I'm Bianca! I've been in the pet sitting business for around 6 years! I strive to put smiles on owners faces, all while making sure their pets feel loved and are well taken care of! I do online schooling, so I am available any day, any time. If you need a pet sitter, I'll be there! I love getting to spend time with animals and will put away time just for them! As of now, I only do drop in visits. This looks like me going in, letting the dogs out, if there are any, feeding the pets, cleaning litter boxes, administering meds if necessary, and of course, playing with your pets! I try to keep pets feeling safe, loved, fed, and taken care of, all while making sure your pets are happy! In the case that a pet is scared, or anxious, please let me know if it's normal, but if not, I would proceed by giving him/her space, and making sure they are okay all while keeping my distance until they feel comfortable around me!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Green
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Green on Rover is $25.68 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 961 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Green. 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 Green 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 Green 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 Green 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 Green. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
