About: I have had many animals! From reptiles, to chinchillas all the way to dogs & cats I’ve had a lot of experience with many different pets. I am a big animal person! As a first time cat mom I fully understand how important it is to have a pet sitter who helps you feel secure in leaving your fur babies with them. Not only am I a trustworthy person, I’m very attentive to detail and reliable. I’m currently unemployed, doing odd jobs like dog sitting, house cleaning, and babysitting. Therefore, I would have PLENTY of time to play with your fur babies!! We have plenty of cat toys your cats can play with, including 2 cats! Our cats are very pet friendly and love having new friends to play with. We also have dogs who are very friendly and love to run and play! I can take your pets on walks, play with them, and more!

This was my first time using Rover and Sean could not have been more professional. He was highly communicative, sent pictures, and took care of my pets and my home in a very respectful way. Will definitely book him again.

About: I’ve cared for newborn puppies on multiple occasions, so I’m no stranger to tiny paws and big responsibility. I bring patience, love, and plenty of cuddles to every pet I care for. Caring for pets is part of my normal day-to-day life. I enjoy building my routine around their needs, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or extra cuddle time. My own pets are cared for with a mix of routine, enrichment, and lots of love (okay… maybe a little spoiling). I stay attentive to their needs, moods, and habits, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I sit.

About: I am new to the area! I have had an extensive foster care history over the past 3 years prior to relocating. I adore all fur babies but have the most experience with elder and special needs pups. I love animals, big and small. I have my own sweetheart pup and live with two cat friends (plus a lizard). I work as a nurse. Medication administration is no problem at all if needed as well. Please help cure my foster withdrawal and let me be there for your furry family members! I currently am taking a break from full time nursing to focus on enjoying life more. With advance notice, I can be available most days/times. Don’t let that discourage same day requests though! I take the time to learn pet needs and enjoy getting to know their personalities. The approach I use for each animal is based on what they respond best to. I encourage families to share likes and dislikes of their animal friends to promote a low stress environment as they get to know me. I can administer medication, take them for car rides or walks if desired. Companionship in any form is something I look forward to providing them!!

This is the second time Brittany has watched our pets for us and we absolutely love when she's here! She spends lots of time with our guys, makes sure our dog gets out for walks (even when the weather isn't great), and takes incredibly great care of our house! She goes above and beyond to ask if there are things around the house she can help with, like watering plants or getting garbage cans out. We'd love to have her back in the future!

About: I intern at an animal sanctuary where I provide full animal care to cats, dogs, foxes, birds, wolves, horses, a beaver, a bear, an elk, and much more. I have been there for over a year as well as taken care of many other animals for families over night and daily check ins. I am studying environmental science where I hope to work with animals so I have been gaining a lot of experience and knowledge with all kinds. I work another job currently as well as school so my check ins would be early morning and nights. My schedule varies from day to day so I’m willing to work it out as needed. I am available for over nights almost every night. I have watched animals with and without fences. I have gained a lot of experience in how to keep both me and the animals safe from my internship knowledge.

Katie is an incredible petsitter!!! She managed taking care of my 3 pets, including one who goes to daycare 3 times a week. My husband and I went on a week-long vacation and I didn’t have to worry about our pets or home a single time. Katie sent me daily updates, which was awesome, and took the time to meet with us beforehand. Seriously can’t recommend her enough!

About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. I understand that every pet has unique needs, whether they’re an energetic puppy or a senior pet who needs extra patience and gentle care. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs and know the importance of providing comfort, attention, and a calm environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping pet parents updated so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, safe, and happy in my care. I have been caring for a variety of pets for friends and family for many years. I’m currently between jobs, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide attentive, reliable pet care. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I care for pets by closely following their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I make sure feeding schedules are followed exactly, fresh water is always available, and litter boxes or potty areas are kept clean. I provide regular playtime, exercise, and companionship so pets feel engaged and not lonely while their owner is away. For cats, I focus on a calm environment, respecting their space while also giving attention, brushing if needed, and interactive play when they’re comfortable. I monitor their behavior and well-being closely to notice any changes in appetite, mood, or health. If medication is required, I administer it carefully according to instructions. I also keep the home tidy, respect house rules, and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I send updates to pet owners so they feel confident and reassured while they’re away.

We are new to the Cincinnati area, and finding a new pet sitting can be quite daunting. We are so fortunate to have had AJ take care of our 3 papillons and house for the past week. During the meet and greet, my 3 liked AJ immediately. He is a good communicator and very conscientious. We received several updates, and found our dogs happy and healthy upon our return. He also kept our house very tidy. We will definitely book AJ when we need pet sitting in the future. 5☆

FAQs for House Sitting - Foster

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 948 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Foster. 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 Foster 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 Foster 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 Foster 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 Foster. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
