“Emily was excellent, efficient, and punctual! She did a great job taking care of our 3 fur babies and promptly communicated with us the entire time. She made us feel safe that our 3 little kids were going to be well taken care of. We will definitely be rebooking her in the future!”
About: I love all animals so much! I treat them all like they are my own. I’ve taken care of a wide range of animals, from elderly dogs, to birds, and horses! I owned a Pet Sitting business for many years, but moved states once I got married. Me and my husband are homesteaders. He works from home, and we both tend our ducks and garden. We are hoping to have a farm stand this next summer! I love working hard and all animals! We have a very big fenced in back yard where your babe can run free and we can play! We are outside all the time with our animals and garden.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. My babies are lifers. Your animal is my number one priority. I prefer animals over humans any day I quit my job to walk dogs full time. I’m always available if you need me. Your babies are my babies. I’d prefer dogs over humans I have a fenced in yard and no one can escape. I abide by what the client asks for in their and my own home. I walk, play with your dog if toys are presented
“Megan did an excellent job caring for our two dogs and two cats while we were away. It was nice to be able to enjoy our time away knowing that we had a reliable and trusted person taking care of things. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Victoria arrived promptly and gave us continuous updates and pictures during her sit with Dexter. We would highly recommend Victoria to any other pet parents. We have already booked her for another visit!”
“Keira was awesome with the "zoo" at my house. She was very conscientious and connected right away with all my pets. She kept me very well updated on how everyone was doing and was very flexible and easy to work with. I felt at peace knowing my pets were in good hands while I was away. Would recommend her as an A++ pet sitter!”
About: Hi, I’m Moesharlynn or Moe and I’m 20 years old. I’m currently in school for dental assisting. I dog sat over-night for my friend’s dog for a week and I helped take care of my aunts dog, taking him out for walks when they were away. I’m familiar with learning the routines of a new dog and I give communication to the owners—providing updates on the well-being of their pet and any concerns that may arise. If you have an active dog, I would love to run with them as I’m a fan of cardio! I’m currently in school full-time during the weekdays, so being able to dog sit during weekends and afterschool on weekdays works great in my schedule. I’m very flexible for the weekends though. I have a fenced backyard in which dogs can roam freely in. I live across from a park that I can take them on frequent walks to.
“This was the first time we used Rover. Cassie was excellent and made us feel that she was the right person to take care of our babies. Although they are sweet, they are a handful sometimes when they have to be taken out for walks. The spaniel in them tends to dominate the walks. She was so sweet and sent pictures and videos and made us feel at ease.”
About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I’ve also worked extensively with equines, so I’m comfortable handling animals of all temperaments and energy levels. I’m dedicated to keeping your furry friend happy, safe, and well exercised during every walk or visit :) I'm currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time for your pups! I am early riser but also don't mind late hours I provide loving and attentive care for pets in the comfort of your own home. I’ll make sure your furry friend gets plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime while following your routine and any special instructions. From feeding and walks to cuddles and companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I want you to have a good peace of mind while you’re away.
“Meghan was super flexible and provided great updates and photos. She was absolutely wonderful with my pup who takes a bit to warm up to new people. Kiki loved her and we will definitely book again!”
“Jason was awesome. Great with updates. Super communicative. I demand a lot for the 13 pound furry man in my life and Jason made it all work even with a schedule that wasn’t the easiest.”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for nearly all of my life. I believe in treating pets with love and kindness. I presently have 2 fur babies at home, a Husky and a Maltipoo. I have many years of experience with cats and dogs, especially with raising puppies and newborn kittens (several litters). I’m very comfortable with all forms of pet care, including: medical needs, in-home care, walking, playing, feeding, potty breaks, and most of all - spoiling them! I’m retired so I’m available most of the time. I’m able to house sit day and/or night, assist with vet/grooming appointments upon availability. Weekends are a bit more limited, but still an option based on times needed. I’m currently available for pet sitting (dogs & cats) in the client’s home as well as dog walking, feeding, administration of meds (if needed), playing/interaction, potty breaks, and potty training for puppies & kittens.
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life and have always loved being around them. Whenever there’s a dog in the room they are the first I greet! 2022 was when I first started pet sitting for others and have since cared for multiple dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. I currently care for five different dogs regularly, including two that I watch together. Whenever there’s pet sitting, I stay in the owners home to keep their pets comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I make sure each dog gets plenty of love, attention, and playtime while their family is away. I also believe communication is extremely important, so I provide regular updates with photos and videos to help the owners feel connected and reassured while they’re away from their pets. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, safe, and happy until their owners return. I am currently a part-time college student, so I have a lot of time to be able to check on owners pets when needed. My schedule is pretty open besides Wednesdays, but depending on the situation I can sometimes check in on them on Wednesdays. When caring for pets in a clients home, I make it a priority to keep them on their normal routine so they feel comfort and secure while their owners are away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding time, walks, medications, playtime, and any other special needs. Safety is a top priority of mine. I make sure doors, gates, and even leashes are secure, and I pay very close attention to every animals behavior and comfort level. I provide plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while respecting the pet’s individual personality and needs. I also respect the owners privacy by keeping household information private and also respecting their homes. I also try to update the owners as much as possible by providing videos, photos, and messages so they can have a peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and comfortable. My goal is to create an stress-free environment for both the owners and the pets. I want the owners to be able to enjoy their trip and not be stressed, while their pets feel safe and comfortable with me.
About: I currently have 3 dogs who I treat as my kids. I raised one as a puppy and rescued the other from the SPCA and saved one from being left stranded.My pit sleeps with my daughter and my shep/lab is our watch dog at night. My daughter is willing to help in whatever needs to be done too. I work full time and will be doing this before and after work. I am willing to stay over on weekends and when ever I am off from work. My dogs are very well behaved around other dogs and love to make new friends. I am willing to travel within reason. Can’t wait to meet you and get to spend time with your pups. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you for reading this. I work full time during the week and available for dog/cat care anytime after 4pm. Weekends are spent caring for your pets!!! If you have questions regarding my availability please send me a message or reach out. I have a fenced in yard which provides extra security when we are playing outside. If I am going to be going to your home and you don’t have a fenced in yard then will definitely keep an extra eye/leash on your pet. I will make sure the house is in order the way you left it prior to me coming.
“I was only away for the better part of two days and one night but really appreciated that Chris texted updates and sent lots of pictures letting me know my sweeties were safe and happy. She even washed the sheets and remade her bed before she left!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Fortescue
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 536 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fortescue. 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 Fortescue 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 Fortescue 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 Fortescue 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.
