“This was our first time using a dog sitter, and we were a bit nervous considering it’s 6 barking Schnauzers- but Kamy exceeded our expectations! From the start, she was very presentable and professional, super friendly, and very attentive to all our pups needs. We received regular updates, pictures, and messages- which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to our pups very happy, well-cared for, and clearly loved. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! She was very trustworthy, responsive, and caring. We felt completely at ease leaving our pups in her care. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter, and we WILL be using her services again.”
About: I have professional animal care and veterinary clinic experience, which allows me to confidently care for pets of all ages and needs. I’m experienced with senior pets, medication administration, anxious animals, kittens, puppies, cats. I’m attentive, patient, and detail-oriented, and I always treat pets like family. I’m currently working full-time at a vet clinic, but I have plenty of room to work with. I am trying to lift up my pet sitting business around this area and soon hopefully I will have enough clients so that I can study while I am in vet school. If you message me about pricing and scheduling and letting me know what exactly you need, I will make sure to make it work. I treat the animals that come into my home like my pets, and I treat the animals. I take care and owners home like it is mine, so you can be reassured that everything will be taken care of and you can be at ease when you do boarding in your own home with me. I also include cleaning an errands.
“Denise was absolutely incredible! She took such great care of our dogs and our home, and we had complete peace of mind while we were away. She followed all instructions perfectly, kept everything clean and organized, and gave our girls so much love and attention. It’s clear she truly cares about the animals she watches. We came home to happy, relaxed pups, which says everything. We will 100% be booking Denise again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!”
“Alexis was absolutely an angel! She took wonderful care of our 9-week old puppy and kept us updated the whole time. We are so grateful she was willing to stay at our place and keep our pups routine the same. 10/10 will book again!”
“Alexander and Diane were wonderful and very attentive to our cats needs and treating him as their own. We were very happy with their communication and flexibility, especially on such short notice. They were very responsible house-sitting and left our home clean. Could not recommend them enough!”
“Bernajah is amazing!!! I booked her to house sit for my 100lb pitbull mix and our experience was nothing short of amazing!!! My baby suffers w/ separation anxiety and Bernajah did an amazing job of ensuring Sky didn’t feel alone and was well taken care of. I received pics and updates throughout the stay to make me feel more at ease (which I appreciate). If you’re looking for a sitter that you can trust, book Bernajah! 10s across the board”

I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty time to come take care of your sweet doggies! They’re family too! Some days can be a little busy, but we can work something out no problem!!!

The average cost of House Sitting in Fortson is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $56 per night.

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 Fortson 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 Fortson 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 Fortson 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.
