“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”
“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”
“Dawn was great with our furbabies! She made sure to keep us updated with photos and messages throughout our time away. We did not have to worry that they were not being properly cared for while gone.”
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.
“We are repeat clients of Sean's. He is always professional. He takes exceptional care of Stassi. He provides regular updates with pictures. He always leaves my home clean. On my last trip, my flight was delayed and he stayed several hours longer than planned. I ran out of food and he went to the pet store with no complaints about my error. Couldn't ask for better care of my pup and home!”
“This is the second time Annabeth has watched our rescue pets. We have 5 so we know that can be a lot and all have unique personalities/needs so it is helpful to have hired someone who understands and can be patient with our pets. We see Annabeth as family.”
“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!”
“lux watched our 3 small dogs (one being senior) for about a week in our home (this is the second time he has helped us)! lux was great and is our favorite go to dog sitter! I received updates on the dogs which gave great piece of mind. I came home to my home as I left it [which was very nice knowing my dogs are not good at going to the bathroom outside when we are away] lux spent quality time with my dogs and their needs. I definitely felt like the investment in lux being here while we were gone was well worth it!”
“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.”
About: Hi! I’m Sydney, and I love working with animals. I’m responsible, caring, and patient, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’ve had hands-on experience sitting, volunteering and shadowing in animal care settings, which helped me learn more about pet behavior, handling, and daily care. I’m comfortable following routines, paying attention to details, and giving each pet the care they need. I do work part-time so I will have some availability throughout the week and on weekends, making it easy to provide check-ins, feeding, playtime, and lots of care for your pets. I treat every pet like my own and always follow the owner’s instructions. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and care.
“Taylor is an amazing dog sitter. She has stayed with our dog, Spencer, twice since he was a puppy. She always communicates well and sends pics. She is so good with Spencer, and Spencer loves her!”
About: You can count on me to treat your pet like another member of my family. Growing up on a farm exposed me to animals of all sizes from an early age and gave me a deep love for them. We always had dogs and cats, plus other animals. Because of this, I am comfortable administering medications to your pets and ensuring they get the love and attention you are looking for. I've had my rescue Pit, Rusty, for the past 5 years, and I love being a dog dad. I am a bit of a runner, so I am happy to take on high-energy dogs, whether that is for a longer walk or a good run. I am looking forward to helping you with your pet's needs and working toward being their new best friend! I currently work remotely as a freelancer and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule both during the day and evenings. I can host most weekends and live down from Eden Park. I'll do my best to work around your pet's needs and routine to meet you where you are! I believe in following what works best for your pet and reinforcing any behaviors/training you are currently working on with them. I also believe every pet should be loved and spoiled just like any family member. My day job is communications and marketing, so you can expect regular and consistent updates from me.
“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.”
“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: As an animal lover, I’ve watched my friends dogs, my favorite part is taking them on walks, & giving them lots of pets & play time I currently work as an esthetician & artist who creates my own schedule based off of appointments. My job is flexible & allows me to care for animals most time of the day & week! In my own home, I make sure my cats receive playtime, attention, pets & cuddles. Within a clients home, I’d make sure to understand each individuals animals needs and how they are typically cared for and ensure they are treated how they’re typically treated by their owners, & with lots of care, attention & love.
“Destiny was an excellent choice to watch our animals for a vacation away. She was responsive, sent updates, and the pets really seemed like they were in good hands! Rebooking with her for our next trip!”

Sebastian continues to go above and beyond for our 7 pets and the care of our home! I received plenty of pictures that show how well he cares for our pets and spends quality time with them all. He clearly communicates everything that goes on with our pets, from the cuteness to the cat puke. I really appreciate the multiple updates and I can truly relax while I’m away from home! He even goes out of his way on the little things like grabbing the mail, checking on our vehicles, vacuuming, AND refilling our dog’s daily pill container!!! I know our pets look forward to seeing him again.
We were happy to find Sean to stay at our home with our four month old puppy. We needed someone who could be here most of the time with her, and Sean was a great fit. He communicated well before our trip and sent regular updates while we were away. The house was well taken care of and Scout seemed happy and calm when we returned home. We would definitely book Sean again.
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.
We left our one-year-old Australian cattle dog mix with Taylor for 6 days (first time we've ever left Tilda with someone overnight since we're had her only a few months), and Taylor did a STELLAR job. We had had her over before to show her the ropes with our Tilda care, so during her housesitting stint, she reinforced what we'd been trying to teach Tilda and also added some good things from her own extensive experience with dogs. We were completely at peace with leaving Tilda in Taylor's care, and we came home to a better-behaved dog!😄 Taylor has got her house sitting routine down pat. She brings over her own stuff and then is fine with sleeping in your (clean) bed. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She's a mature professional who is up to any dog challenge.
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 July 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 July 2026, there are 1,333 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.
