“Beth was amazing! Showed up with super short notice and was extremely professional. She was kind and Moses loved her immediately, you could tell that she loves dogs and they love her back. She even walked him twice in a 3 hour dog sit. Highly recommend!”
“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”
“Laura was on top of communication and took care of our boy while we were gone! She sent updates frequently and made us feel comfortable. Would definitely recommend hiring her. Thank you so much Laura!!”
“Sebastian did wonderful with our 7 pets (3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs)! He provided the unique care for each pet and kept them comfortable during fireworks. He kept me updated with pics and details. Our plans changed and he was willing to stay the night which was so appreciated! Our home was just as clean as we left it. Our pets seemed very content when we got home. Sebastian is a great and respectful pet sitter we’d love to hire again!”
“Corrine was excellent! This was my first time using a dog sitter, so I was apprehensive about leaving my dogs. She quickly put my mind at ease with lots of communication and pictures. She was punctual and followed my instructions while being loving and attentive to my dogs. I couldn’t ask for anything more. I highly recommend Corrine.”
“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: As a lifelong animal lover and cat owner, I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I currently care for two cats of my own and have experience pet sitting for friends, neighbors, roommates, and family members. I've cared for pets ranging from playful kittens and puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I'm committed to following your pet's routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or simply providing companionship while you're away. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. You'll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to give both you and your pet a stress-free experience from start to finish. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I have two cats of my own, so I'm used to maintaining consistent feeding schedules, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and spending quality time playing and providing affection. I've also cared for friends', neighbors', and roommates' pets over the years, so incorporating walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care into my schedule feels very natural. I work well with routines and understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a cat mom myself, I know how stressful it can be to trust another person with the wellbeing of your pets and take the responsibility very seriously. I carefully follow each owner's instructions for feeding, medications (if needed), exercise, playtime, and any special routines that help their pet feel comfortable. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, clean living spaces, and plenty of attention and enrichment while their owners are away. I also know how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind. My goal is to keep pets happy, comfortable, and safe while maintaining as much of their normal routine as possible.
“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!”
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 grown up with dogs of all different breeds my entire life. I have taken care of dogs with diabetes, puppies, dogs that are blind, senior dogs, and many others. I am currently a graduate school student and love spending time with animals to take a break and lower my stress. My current schedule is roughly 9a-3p in the office. I have three dogs of different breeds and energy levels at home, making me prepared to take on a variety of situations. They require different food, care, and exercise, which I make sure to provide to them each day.
“Kayla did an amazing job caring for our pets! She was very responsive, kept us updated with messages and photos, and it was clear our pets were happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and we will happily book with her again!”
“Andrew was very accommodating and was very great at communication. He was timing and treated our dogs just as his own. You can definitely trust him with your dogs & home! We will be using Andrew again for future sittings!”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats! I had 4 dogs growing up; a pug, a golden retriever, 2 cavaliers and a calico cat! I spent high school dog sitting and cat sitting around my neighborhood and through friends of my family! I’ve watched dogs and cats of all different demeanors and even a flying squirrel! I love taking dogs on walks and playing with any kitties, and of course giving some love while you’re away! My work schedule changes a little bit but I work Monday- Friday either 6:30-2:30 or 8-4! I have weekends off too! So anytime I’m not working I can come see your pet! At a clients home I will respect whatever boundaries and routines their animal is used to! I love going on walks and playing with animals, and of course some snuggles! Right now I live in a one bedroom apartment just with my cat! Half the apartment is filled with her toys and she loves spending time out on the balcony sunning and bird watching!
“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.”
About: I have experience working with large groups of dogs with Allies Walkabout. I live with three cats, a dog, and a bearded dragon. I’m also currently working at Petsmart as a bather in the grooming salon, so I’m interacting with a bunch of different dogs all the time! I’m full time and work most days 730am-4pm, while I’m normally off Thursday’s and Monday’s. For pet sitting I fill up food and water while letting them use the bathroom in the early morning and head straight back after work to check in! I’m committed to creating a safe, calm and trusting environment where every pet feels comfortable and cared for. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they can feel secure and happy while in my care. I also have plenty of experience leash walking and crating if needed!
“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!”
About: I have over 30 years of experience caring for animals and truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, or simply lots of love and attention, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away. ❤️ My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to make pet care a priority. I’m currently not working, so I’m available throughout the day and can often accommodate same-day or last-minute requests. I’m open to daily or weekly care and have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and lots of love and attention. I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending my day caring for them! I treat every pet as if they were my own, with safety, patience, and lots of love. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs. I also treat my clients’ homes with the same care and respect I would want for my own. At my home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervised outdoor time, walks, and playtime, with nearby parks for extra exercise and adventure.
“Levi was amazing. Literally nothing could have been better. Jeronimo took to him like a duck to water and cuddles with him. He’s amazing with my pup and look forward to booking again for all my future needs! Levi respected my home, and it was left in pristine condition. He took very good care of Jeronimo and sent me frequent updates and photos. I could literally not be happier. I’d say you should book him, but don’t because I don’t want his availability taken from me. 😂”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Wright
Absolutely loved Taylor, and we can tell our dog did too! She sent us pictures and updates throughout her stay, we felt totally at ease while we were gone—and also, Taylor was just in overall great person too, loved chatting with her and getting to know her! We would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to other people!
It was so nice to be able to get out of town without a worry, and leaving our dog for a few days in the comfort of his home and routine knowing that Sebastian was taking great care of him. Sebastian is not only great with our dog, he’s communicative and very accommodating. He’s transparent about his availability and super professional. He respected our home and helped us by bringing in deliveries that arrived while we were out of town. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks Sebastian! We hope the next time we need a sitter, our schedules align.
Kayla did an amazing job caring for our pets! She was very responsive, kept us updated with messages and photos, and it was clear our pets were happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and we will happily book with her again!
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.
Kristen was wonderful housesitting and caring for our senior dog whose food/med routine has gotten a bit complex in recent months. She did everything we needed to be sure our girl was well cared for, cared about the details to be sure Luna was as comfortable and happy as possible, and communicated well with any questions or concerns. Would love to have her take care of Luna again!
Nia was exceptional. It was the weekend of the big snow & ice storm and she handled everything flawlessly. She took get care of Shadow and all the unusual circumstances resulting from the storm. I couldn’t be more pleased with her performance and I highly recommend her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Wright
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Wright on Rover is $11.1 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 1,271 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Wright. 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 Wright 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 Wright 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 Wright 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 Wright. On Rover:
- 97% 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.
