“Charles did an outstanding job watching both my house and my dog, Lennon, for two weeks. He kept in constant communication, letting me know when he’d be away from the house and for how long. It wasn’t a must but it was really nice to have when someone is watching your house. I came home to a clean house with healthy plants, an empty dishwasher, stripped bedding and washed towels. That level of care meant a lot to my wife and I. He took great care of Lennon. He took her on long walks, sat with her outside and gave her plenty of company. Charles is a dependable professional! We’ll be hiring him again.”
“Grace was amazing. I have older dogs and Grace took the time to come meet them a few times before we left. I was gone for 7 days and my dogs where treated as family. And I received nightly photos. She stayed in our home. And the house was just like we left it. Would use Grace again.”
“I left my dogs for 9 days. Jamie was the dog sitter. I never once worried about them. I knew she loved them and would give them love and attention. She always goes above and beyond!”
“EXCELLENT!!! Tabitha has such a calm personality which is the complete opposite of Cooper. She was so great with him and kept us updated the entire time. Could not ask for better a better person. When you go away you do not want to worry about the pets at home - and we did not worry one bit. Thank you Tabitha!!!”

“She did a great job. Watched my house and dogs. Kept the house clean and the dogs happy. Very communicative and attentive. Will be recommending her to friends.”
“Dawn was amazing! This was my first time ever using a pet sitter and I was a little anxious, I was worried my dogs might not behave perfectly and I was generally nervous about someone coming and staying at my house while I was not there. Dawn is an exceptional person and when we met up for a meet and greet, I told her about my fears and she was very understanding. She helped to settle my concerns and she even came over to my home a little early to meet with my animals and to allow them to acclimate to her presence. THEN, she proceeded to send me pictures and updates on my babies while I was away. 10/10. Absolutely adore her. My babies loved her and I will be using her services in the future, if I have to go somewhere and I can’t take my animals.”

During the summer, I am flexible when it comes to scheduling check-ins, walks, and overnight pet-sitting. I can do any day of the week, and I will cater to your pet's typical routine to keep their experience as stress-free as possible! I ensure all pets are given the best care, supervision, and love! I stick to their normal routine, while being respectful of your home. I will follow any directions given to me about your pet's care or entering your home.
“Almost forgot to leave a review! Kristi was great when she stayed at our house to watch Sydney for almost a week. As always, she took great care and attention while taking care of our pup and left the house in tip top shape! If you’re looking for a dog sitter, Kristi is perfect!”

About: Hello. My name is Hailey. I just graduated basic and AIT as a Combat Medic and will be staying in the area until I go to college late May. I am home all day everyday. I love animals and am willing to doggy/cat sit anytime any day. I have 3 dogs myself and love cats. I am patient and I have no trouble with bigger dogs and will provide service to the best of my abilities. I can also baby sit if needed. I currently unemployed as I will be leaving for college in late May. I am available all day everyday and can stop by at anytime to feed, potty break, or walk dogs and cats alike. I will not be able to house animals in my own home because it is my parents house. I am more than willing to doggy sit in my clients home and/or walk them around their neighborhood. I follow directions to a T and I am physical myself so I always enjoy a good dog walk and don’t mind walking bigger dogs that may need a little extra confidence.
About: Ive had dogs growing up and help take care of a friend’s dog along with my own cats. I have experience with senior cats also. I work Monday - Friday full time, I have an hour break for lunch and free on nights and weekends to take care of any animal needs. I will take care of pets in clients home vs in my own home. Whatever the client needs, Im willing to work with and follow instructions.
“Samantha did an awesome job taking care of my pet. She she came over a few days early to meet with him and go over what he needed. The day of she was in constant contact with me and gave me up dates all day long. I was happy to leave him with someone so loving and caring. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Kaitlin did a wonderful job for my brother and my dogs. Sending pictures and videos! Stayed at the house and played with the dogs. Will be using her services again. Thank you!”
About: I’m a pre-vet student in college and I work at an Animal Clinic. I am a volunteer at the Kentucky Humane Society and have very good experience with your babies needs, management, handling, and of course love!! I have a lot of experience with older animals with giving insulin etc. And house sit for others frequently. I work Friday and Saturday so I will not be available then but Monday through Thursday I’m available after 12:30 due to class in the morning. I understand how important the safety and environment is for your baby. Making sure that no other animals (that they are not familiar with) are present is very important in maintaining safety. Always having a leash on and building trust in the correct, proper way.
“Miranda did a great job with our house sitting. She is a responsive communicator, great at giving updates and following instructions as needed to keep things in order while we had to be away, and has competitive rates. There’s a good chance we will add her to our standing rotation of sitting help!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. As a U.S. Army veteran, I'm dependable, patient, and understand the importance of routine and consistency. I have my own dog, Jaxx, so I know how important it is to treat every dog like family. Whether your dog needs a long walk, playtime, medication, or just some extra attention, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I have a pretty open schedule that let's me have time to do the things I would like to do. I can be available on short notice if needed. I am very active in my dogs life or if I'm watching somebody else's dog. Always playing and going on walks with them. There is nothing worse than a dog who is bored.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Fort Knox is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Knox
We can't say enough good things about Morgana! She took fantastic care of our pups and was available last minute for us to attend a funeral out of town. She was a lifesaver! We loved the daily photo and text updates that showed everyone having a great time going outside and cuddling inside. We returned to happy dogs and a clean house. The attention to detail and genuine love for animals is so clear. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Knox
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 556 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Knox. 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 Knox 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 Knox 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 Knox 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 Knox. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
