“Christine house sat for our 2 dachshunds and was wonderful! She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated how clean and well cared for our home was when we returned. She even cleaned the linens, which was very thoughtful and one less thing we had to worry about when we returned. It was also so sweet to hear how much she enjoyed spending time with our pups. We would definitely recommend her and would choose her to dog sit for us again in the future!”
“Dylan was amazing handling my three (2 dogs and a cat) for six days. Great communication, courteous of my home, fully capable with meds, followed instructions, couldn’t be happier with his service, I trust him fully and will be utilizing him in the future. It was so relieving to see my babies super excited and happy when I came home.”
“Our big baby hasn't been separated from us since we got him & we were worried about leaving him. Kelly came over to meet him beforehand and the got to know each other which put our minds at ease. From the pictures & videos she sent us, they looked like they had a great time together. She walked him & even took him to the dog park!! She took such great care of him, bought his spoiled butt a new toy & some new treats. She really treated Toro like he was her baby. I'm definitely using Kelly again!!”
About: I have had dogs, cared for them and adored them for most of my life. I do not have any now. I was service dog handler at the school I used work at with a student on the autism spectrum. I frequently watch friend’s dogs (even one cat) in my home or theirs and find myself looking for them when they are gone. The last dog I had was definitely a character but I loved him anyway. I hope you like photos because I am also a portrait photographer and although we won’t be doing any photo shoots, I love taking pictures to show owners what they are up to during the day. I just relocated to Parrish and missing all of “my” dogs from Michigan. Not able to host dogs at my home until I buy but love staying with them in your home. I just relocated to Parrish so I am getting my routine down now. I make sure that your dog is my priority when I am with them. I’m not sure where I am working yet so I’m loving seeing the areas near Parrish while house hunting. I use whatever rules you have with your dog just as I would watching someone’s child. I am comfortable with crate trained or non-crated dogs. If they like car rides, I have fun talking them on little outings. I like to know what commands and “words” you use to stay consistent and make sure we communicate well. I am also not a fan of feeding from the table so unless you approve that - I wouldn’t allow it. I am also very cautious about keeping dogs leashed.
“Lorianne did a wonderful job housesitting and caring for our two labradors. She was punctual and sent us photo updates the whole time. We highly recommend her as we will want her to care for our dogs in the future!”
“Marie took great care of our baby. She normally would not eat when we leave and she ate her dinner and snacks. I loved the pictures and videos of Tika having fun. Hope to book again soon!”
About: I treat every pet with deep patience, gentleness, and genuine love. Animals naturally feel calm and safe around me, especially sensitive or anxious pets. I pay close attention to their emotions, routines, and comfort, creating a peaceful environment where they feel truly cared for like family… Animals have always been a deeply important part of my life and bring me a sense of peace, connection, and joy. As a photographer and creative person, I am naturally attentive, patient, and sensitive to emotions and details, which helps animals feel safe and understood around me. At home and in my clients’ homes, I care for animals with patience, gentleness, and full attention to their needs and emotions. I create a calm and peaceful environment, respect their routines and personalities, and make sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and never stressed…
“Seth was very attentive and communicated daily about the dogs with photos. He even applied ear antibiotics and cleaned Izzy's ears daily, as she got an ear infection just prior to him dog/house sitting.”
About: Hello, my name is Kaley and I am 26. There has always been dogs in my home growing up, from puppies to small to medium to large dogs. I currently have two medium sized dogs that I have had for six years now. I am currently working part-time with no set work days, so I am pretty much free every day and when I do work, my days usually end around 12 in the afternoon. So, I would be free from 1pm on to walk, play with and take care of your fur babies! I am a huge animal lover, so your fur baby will be treated with all the love I can give! Your home will also be given the same love and respect. I am open to learning about your dog's routine and how to best care for them!
“Pris stayed in constant contact through caring for our three senior dogs. She was great with them and truly cared for them like they were her own. We'll hire Pris again in a minute when needed. Very easy to work with and nearby so it was easy for all of us.”
“Irene got along great iwht my dog Luna and attended to every need. She did a good job keeping me informed while I was gone. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a great person to take care of their dog.”
“This was our first time working with Jonathan as our pet/house sitter and it was a great experience. We were grateful that he was willing to stop by a second time before our trip so we could have the peace of mind that our dog would recognize him and be comfortable. He also sent us updates and pics every couple days and the house was just as clean as we left it. Couldn’t ask for more!”
“Jennifer looked after our 2 labs whilst we were away. We had daily photos and the girls always looked so happy. Maddie even got her cuddle times in. A great dog sitter. I would highly recommend. Thank you Jennifer”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Hamer
Jeremy & Kathy provided outstanding care for our two dogs; a cocker spaniel & chocolate lab (age 7 & 13). The process was so easy & they were very accommodating. We had a meet & greet and it was obvious they were lovers of pets. Our dogs loved them immediately. They provided overnight stay for 14 nights while we were out of the country. We received pictures and updates of the dogs each day. I thought it was nice that they said “you don’t have to respond to each one, we just want you to know the pups are doing great”. Upon return our home was spotless and the dogs were happy. Our dogs need medication and a little extra care and they did it all beautifully!! I highly recommend them to care for your special pets. Thank you Jeremy & Kathy!! The boys look forward to seeing you again.
Angelica provided incredible care for my puppy Beanz. She was attentive, dependable, and kept me informed with regular updates. Beanz was happy and comfortable, and I could tell she genuinely loves animals. I highly recommend her for anyone who wants trustworthy and loving pet care

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Hamer
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Hamer on Rover is $55.5 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 3,351 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Hamer. 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 Hamer 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 Hamer 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 Hamer 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.
