“Kathleen was amazing!! She took great care of Charlie and sent me pictures and updates to ease my mind! Would definitely recommend and plan on using her from now on”
“Jacqueline was great! She provided updates and pictures on a daily basis of my dog. I could tell he was having a fantastic time with her and was being loved on. He was ridiculously excited to see her again when she stopped by the next day to pick up something she forget.”
“Dawn is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! We are so happy to have found her and can’t wait to have her visit our baby in the future. ? She texted photos throughout the day and kept us up to date along the way. Thank you for loving our dog like your own!”
About: I regularly pet sit for friends and family. 1-3 weeks mostly; but can do just a few days as well. Private home with a fenced yard. Dog lead in yard is available. I love to walk! Short or long walks are all fine with me. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I’ve owned 3 in my adult life. I even fostered a dog for 9 months! It was hard to give her up; but she went to a loving home. I’m honest and trustworthy and dogs just make every day better! I work a pretty flexible schedule. I’m retired so I have lots of time. If your dog likes car rides and public parks…awesome! There’s also 2-3 dog parks not far from my house I have a big yard that's about 70 yards deep and I have a secured lead in both front and back yards. For added safety, I attach an air tag to your pets collar. There are sidewalks all around my neighborhood for safe walks on a leash. I'm not a fan of dog parks. I prefer to select my walking path to ensure your pets safety. I live alone.
About: I've housesat and taken care of dogs for friends and family members since I was a kid. I've been told I have an energy that animals really respond to. I can no longer have a pet of my own, and I miss my dog every day, I just want to be around dogs again, and help out pet parents. I just opened a bar on my own so it is practically impossible for me to have a dog full time, but my schedule is also flexible enough where I could make sure to give a lot of attention to a dog on a part time basis. I am happy to watch a dog at your home or mine, I have a fenced yard and plenty of parks and trails nearby to walk around.
“Jared was great with our two crazy puppies and all of our other animals. Sent lots of pictures, I could tell the dogs loved him. Gave us peace of mind during our trip. He also had a great doughnut recommendation for our destination!”
“Levi was great! My dog, Bella seemed to warm up to him immediately during our meet and greet which helped ease my anxiety as I was leaving the country for 10 days! He was great with communication and I will definitely use Levi again!”
“We had a 5 day trip planned for 4th of July, not only making it the longest we had left our dogs but all of our friends/family were also busy and weren’t available to watch our pups. Lauren was very responsive when scheduling, sent us updates while we were away and was very respectful of our home! It was our first time having to use a sitter and she couldn’t have made us more comfortable through the entire stay! We are already talking about another stay and I will refer her to anyone and everyone we know in need of a sitter ?”
“Excellent Dogsitter-watched our two dogs in our home. Very responsive and sent updates regarding the dogs while we were away. Made sure the dogs got plenty of exercise. Will be a repeat customer!”
“Amaryl was extremely kind and made us feel very at ease while we were away from our cats. Super responsive, respectful, and considerate. Will be booking again with Amaryl!”
“Taylor stayed with our dog for two nights over the weekend. She gave her so much love and attention, of course communicating with us throughout her whole stay. Taylor was amazing!”
About: I’ve always grown up with pets around, specifically dogs. Through my lifetime I’ve taken care of dogs with separation anxiety, older dogs, and very active dogs too. I believe that every dog has a special personality and they all deserve personalized care. So I will take in special care request that you know of, and also observe the dog so I care and play with it in the best way! I’m excited to work with you and your furry friends :) I have a pretty open schedule and availability! I’m am trying to pursue pet sitting full time so feel free to reach out and I’ll get back to you! I have a dog park in my apartment and share a dog with my sister so your furry friend will have some company. I also have some complement toys, treats, and a spare cage if needed!
“Alyssa was a wonderful sitter for my two dogs! She was very responsive and reached out when she had questions. I even got photo updates of the dogs! I will be using Alyssa again on my next trip in a few weeks.”
“We love using Crystal for house stays! She is so thoughtful and treats our dogs so well, they have a great time with her. One of our dog had new medication needs this time and she was great at giving him the new meds and making sure he got the extra attention he needed. Thanks Crystal!”
“Serenity has cared for our Poppy twice now, and Poppy loves her. I feel very comfortable leaving her in Serenity’s care. Serenity is kind and lovely - a delight to have her in our home! We hope to have her back soon!”
“Sydney took great care of our Fiona while we were gone. She kept us updated and sent us pictures. She also took really good care of our house and didn’t leave a thing out of place. We will definitely have her dog sit for us again. Our Fiona is already asking for us to go away again so Sydney can come back.”

Kathleen did such a great job pet sitting for us! We have a house full of pets, including two dogs with very different needs, and she did absolutely amazing with our fur babies. She sent us photos and was great at communicating. I highly recommend Kathleen, and look forward to booking with her again!!
There aren't enough good words to say about this young lady. Unfortunately, I'm at work and this app only gives me a limited amount of time to post a review, but know that if I could post something much longer, I would be singing her praises from the rooftop.
Taylor house sat for us for a weekend while we attended a wedding. This was only the second time ever that our pup had been without us overnight. Taylor took incredible care of him and was patient while he warmed up to her. She also left our house in impeccable condition. She even stripped the bedding and took out the trash before leaving. Would highly recommend!
Jared was awesome! He always made me feel at ease that my pup was being well taken care of. I received many pictures and comments about my pup, while I was away. He went above and beyond taking him walks on trails. He made my dog very comfortable and relaxed. I will definitely be contacting Jared again for my dog sitting/walking needs.
Adam was fantastic with my pups! Adam was very communicative, he was able to give my big guy his meds, spent plenty of time with them, and took them for walks! He kept me updated through his stay which I appreciated greatly. Highly recommend Adam and I will definitely book him again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Mitchell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,260 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Mitchell. 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 Mitchell 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 Mitchell 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 Mitchell 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
