“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”
“Andrew house-sat and watched my dog while I was out of town for a wedding for several days. We highly highly recommend him! He was so great with Parker (who can sometimes be a handful), took great care of her, was communicative, and very patient when some badly timed house problems popped up. Andrew also completely saved the day by extending his stay when my flight was canceled, and he left my house looking clean and tidy! Five stars!”
“Edith is a very conscientious young woman. She takes care of pets as though they are her own! You can count on her good judgment to handle any issues with the pets or even house issues. We feel blessed to have found her!!”
“Taylor was absolutely amazing from the beginning. I had some specific needs for my wedding night, and she made sure my 2 babies were on time to the cocktail hour where they made an appearance for pictures. I have an Aussie who is slow to warm up to new people, and he took to Taylor right away. It’s so comforting and reassuring knowing we have someone in the area that I can trust my dogs with, and who love Taylor in return.”
“Could not ask for a better pet sitter, Bethany took exceptional care of our two dogs while we were on a four day trip. Kept us continually updated, Porche and Lexi were in great hands, loved the care she provided and Bethany kept us updated on their status throughout. Her attention to details and care of both pets and home were exceptional. We will be a repeat customer - Thank You”
“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!”
“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 ?”
“John took care of our babies while we were gone for a trip! This was the longest we’ve been away from them and our nerves were all over. He eased our anxiety by providing pics multiple times a day and giving us updates on them. We can’t recommend him enough!”
“Lux was an amazing house and pet sitter for us!!! He sent photos and updates every day and knowing he was in our home put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation. We will definitely ask him to stay here again in the future.”
“Courtney was such a delight! Easy to communicate with and our dogs loved her! Having her there allowed us to relax during our vacation knowing that everything was being taken care of.”
“Emma was amazing! She followed my very detailed instructions perfectly and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She sent lots of pictures and updates, left my house spotless, and even noticed that my older dog seemed a little off. She let me know right away and kept a close eye on him, which I really appreciated. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I will absolutely use Emma again without a doubt. Highly recommend!”
“Tiffany was very communicative and took excellent care of my dogs and my home! She followed everything I asked regarding the routines for the dogs and did an excellent job keeping my home secure as well. Thanks Tiffany!”
“Kylie was so great the entire process! I initially was hesitant to have someone from this app to stay at my place and watch my pup, but she eased all my worries! She was super sweet and knowledgeable and I have already rebooked her for next month 😊”
“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!”
“Alyssa was great with Zuzu! I needed someone last minute and she was able to help in a pinch. Zuzu also does not do the best with strangers, but took to her so well. Thank you so much.”
“Andy was absolutely amazing with Luna! She kept us updated with all the fun things they were doing, including going on park walks which Luna loved! When we got home we could tell Luna was so well cared for and had fun. Not only did Andy allow us to feel at ease while we were gone, but as a bonus when we got home she had put the sheets in the laundry! A gem! We appreciated her so much we already have her booked for our next trip! Thank you!”
“Maggie was a wonderful in-home sitter for our two very difficult, highly medicated dogs. She took tremendous care of them and our plants, and we came home to 2 happy dogs. Thanks so much.”

Bethany was awesome! We received several updates each day including cute photos of how our dog was doing when we were on vacation. She also took care of our plants and garden. I highly recommend Bethany and look forward to having her come dog sit for us again in the future.
Katie was a very reliable sitter for a long-term stay with our cat. She kept us up to date with our anxious cat’s day to day health and behavior, and went the extra mile to ease her anxiety. Katie’s open communication made us feel secure and in the loop while we were gone long-term. She also kept our house very clean, and tidied up before we got home so everything smelled good and was fresh! We will definitely book Katie again in the future.
Serenity has taken care of Poppy three times, and it has been great to have her every time! When Serenity arrived, Poppy was so happy to see her! To me, that is the highest compliment one can give - that we are walking out the door and she is happy to see her caring friend! We look forward to having Serenity back soon!
We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care Celeste provided for Jack, Tekken, and Princess Buttercup! She went above and beyond in every way. Throughout the weekend, she kept us updated with photos and messages, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. Celeste was professional, attentive, and clearly treated our pets as if they were her own. Jack, Tekken, and Princess Buttercup absolutely loved her, and we could tell they were comfortable and well loved the entire time. We highly recommend Celeste to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and top-notch pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!
This was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous because usually my dog stays with a family member or a family friend. This was a last minute booking but it worked out perfectly! As soon as I met Kaylee I felt so much relief knowing that Beau was going to be in good hands while I was gone. She was super sweet, quick to respond and sent me daily pictures! If I am ever in a pinch again to find someone for Beau, she will be the first person I reach out to! 🙂

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Thomas
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Thomas on Rover is $37.04 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 1,300 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Thomas. 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 Thomas 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 Thomas 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 Thomas 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 Thomas. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
