“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 !!!”
“Ashlyn was incredibly flexible with scheduling and did fantastic with my reactive, derpy, pibble! Thank you Ashlyn for your responsiveness and being there for Katniss ?”
“We had to leave our dog Birdo for two weeks and we were so nervous, but Aleya did an amazing job taking care of our girl and the house! Even though we were in and out of signal, Aleya sent us consistent updates and photos every single day, kept up with our dog’s medication, and even took care of our plants. When we got home, everything was clean and Birdo seemed extremely happy and well cared for. We will definitely be booking Aleya again to take care of our dog if we need to go out of town!”
“Kemmesha is always a great sitter! She came over early and helped settle my Koko as I was heading out the door! She always takes great care of Koko and the home! Thank you so much!”
“Linda was awesome! Our pets are usually pretty shy, but they warmed up to her right away. She sent lots of photos and updates, and went above and beyond during out booking. We'll definitely be repeat clients.”
“Cassie was super great with our pup! She was flexible with timing and did a great job of updating us during her time with him. Left our house super clean too! Will use her again!”
“Zana was great! We booked her for overnight pet sitting for our 2 dogs. She made sure they were never alone for long, spent lots of time playing with our very energetic pup and sent lots of cute photos during her stay. Our pups loved her and when we got home they acted like we'd never been gone. We have already rebooked Zana for a future trip.”
“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. ♥️?♥️”
“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!”
“Danie was awesome - so attentive to my dogs and always checked in before doing something new!! She sent lots of pictures and updates while I was away from home!! My pups loved her!!”
“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!!!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and am currently a pup mom of a five year old GSD mix. I love walking and enjoy it more when I can bring a furry friend along with me. Outside of having my own pup, I have over 5 years of experience with dog and house sitting on platforms such has TrustedHousesitters and Wag!. I’m happy to share my profiles with my reviews 😇. As a sitter, I promise to treat your home with the respect it deserves and give your pup the same love that I give my own :). I can provide any pup assistance whether it's sitting, boarding, or taking your loved one out to stretch their paws :). I recently moved to Baltimore, and excited to work with new animals in my new city. I'm currently working from home so my schedule is really flexible. If a last minute walk or sitting is needed, I can most likely accommodate unless I'm already booked :). As a dog owner myself, I’ll know how to keep your pup happy and your mind at ease with updates and communication, unless told otherwise.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 3,420 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
