“Paige did an amazing job watching our 3 big dogs! We were away for 4 days and never once were we worried about our pups! She settled right into their routine and sent us so many pictures of them. This was our first time using river and Paige and we will definitely be rebooking any time we need her!”
“I can’t explain how GREAT MICHEAL IS ! Is there was 20 stars I would give it to him. Is the process I also receive the best fall pictures of the girl that Micheal took. If I was you. Book book book !!!”
About: I’ve had fish, bunnies, cats and dogs throughout my life, right now I’m unemployed but In college, taking care of my father and want something to do in my spare time for extra cash that I will actually enjoy! With the exception of Thursday’s and Sundays right now I have open availability but strongly before at least day before notice as I am a caretaker for my father I love animals so they will deff get play time with me as well as any dietary or exercise needs and bathroom trips they may need.
About: I’ve taken care of family, friends, and coworkers pets for them. I have my own dog who I take care. I love animals, I’m reliable, attentive, and have great time management skills I’m currently working part-time in retail so I will have plenty of time to attend to your pets needs. I have my own vehicle so transportation is never an issue. And I only have 1 job so there’s no conflicting schedules! I have a fenced front and back yard. Living room and dining room on the first level completely safe for all dogs. I have my own dog who is constantly cared for (he loves attention lol). Feedings twice a day with dry and wet food. Walks once or twice a day! And of course constant cuddles, pets, rubs, and good boy (or girl)!
“Heather and Jennifer were awesome! This was our first time leaving our dogs behind so we were a bit nervous, but we’re immediately reassured after the dogs met them prior to our departure. The house looked exactly as it did when we left, and they were even awesome enough to agree to feed our birds and bunnies as well!! Highly recommend these two!”
“Kemmesha fat exceeded our expectations, she went above and better to not only take care of our mini poodle while we were in the hospital having our baby, but she also was kind enough to provide us with updates for peace of mind while away from our furr baby. With Kemmesha sitting my pup at my home, i felt comfortable and relaxed enough to focus on my baby and my recovery while in the hospital. Cant stress enough, how grateful I am to have found her on here. She’s kind, respectful of our home and wishes, did everything we asked, genuinely cared for our anxious sad puppy, and best of all stayed day and night to ensure our peace of mind while going through the most stressful yet joyous day of our lives! Im eternally grateful 🥹”
“Jessica took great care of my dog and my house. I really appreciated the thorough updates and she sent lots of photos. My dog seemed comfortable and I did not stress while I was away. Would definitely book again.”
“Love Kayli to the fullest!!!! She was amazing my baby had amazing time she had her for a whole week sent pictures daily, kept us up to date on her adventures and new findings her husband also helped watch my Nyla and gave plenty of love and play time. Kayli was a last minute find and was ready to help immediately! She came and met my nyla and us we had good conversation she asked all the right questions and answered all of ours. I am a true mama bear and so is she so she made sure my mind was at ease daily while we were out of town. If you need someone who is loving she is the best choice!!!”
“Zana was awesome! Our dogsitter caught Covid a few days before our weeklong vacation, so we really appreciated that Zana was available last-minute, did a meet and greet, and took great care of our senior pup and energetic 3-year old pup. She sent us lots of pictures so we wouldn't miss them so much. We highly recommend and would book Zana again!”
“What can we possibly say about Erica besides she is an absolute amazing sitter for our boys. We have been using her for a little over 2 years and I’m pretty sure our boys couldn’t be happier anytime she’s available to watch them. She goes above and beyond with them even when it’s just a simple over night stay. Her availability, personality, skills etc are why we always choose her! When we go away for any extending period of time, we never have a worry with her there. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
“Aleya was AMAZING! She took excellent care of my dog, sent a lot of pictures, she’s great at communicating everything and she’s a very happy person! Will definitely book her again!!”
“Danie is ah-mazing! It takes a lot for me to entrust my home and my pups to a stranger, but Danie put me at ease! She is very reliable, super sweet and my girls love her! When I came home, the place looked like she was never even there. I recommend Danie any time you need an in-home sitter - she won't disappoint!”
“Alexandra is the very best sitter we have ever had for our dogs. She sent tons of photos and videos. It was clear that the dogs had a great time. And as a bonus, our home was sparkling clean when we returned. Would give 20 stars if I could. ♥️?♥️”
“Kal did an amazing job watching Sarge and Lyla. She was very attentive and sent many great updates. Having dogs that are uneasy with strangers it can be nerve racking to leave them with a sitter. With Kal, all of our worries were but to ease. Our dogs had a great time and will be going to Kal in the future! Thanks again for watching Sarge and Lyla!”
“Taylor was awesome!! She watched our two chocolate lab puppies and house sat for us while we were away on vacation. She sent great pictures and always let us know how our babies were doing every day. Thanks so much for making our trip stress free while we were away! Love to work with her again for our next trip!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Howard
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 3,528 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Howard. 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 Howard 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 Howard 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 Howard 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.

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.
