“As always Cassy is the best! She always treats our fur babies like her own and sends us a slew of photos and videos. I think they are sad when we come home because she has to leave!”
“Lyn was so wonderful! She loved our dogs and they absolutely loved her too . She kept the house completely tidy as well. She communicated throughout each day ,which I loved receiving the updates and of my dogs being so comfortable with her. She definitely cares for others as her own and I can’t say enough wonderful things about her .”
“Used Layla for the first time for my Doodle and Mastiff. She did a great job. I loved that she was easy to communicate with and kept me updated while she watched them. I will definitely be using her again”
“Ayla was a life saver. I needed a dog sitter for our new puppies for a few hours and she didnt hesitate to say yes with really short notice. She was great with our pups. I will book her again!”
“OMG! Heather is amazing! I had to go out of town immediately after just moving in and Heather came to my rescue to take care of my fur kids (two dogs and one cat). Not only did she walk and feed them, but any messes that happened was cleaned up before I got home. She is amazing. I will definitely ask her to sit for me again.”
About: I will treat your pet like family and make sure they are happy and well taken care of. I want to be someone you and your pet can rely on. I’ve dog/cat/house sat for many people many times and I’ve built a connection with each human and animal different than any other. I work as a caretaker, so I’m available at different times, but it’s flexible. Right now, I would be available for 3 visits a day and would only be away from the house during house sitting about 4 hours a day. When caring for a pet, I try to read their expressions to understand what they need/want. I will keep them entertained when they want to play and leave them alone when they want to be left alone. I will make sure they’re safe and happy. I like to walk, play, relax, talk with any pet I’m with.
“Lauren was AMAZING!! One of my dogs can be a little timid with new people and she barked for maybe 10 seconds which was so insane to me. Her communication was amazing, the dogs absolutely loved her and she even made me ornaments with my pups paw prints on them!! 10/10 will be using her anytime my pups need a sitter!🤍”
About: Hey fur parents, looking for a best friend for your pup? Look no further! Over the years of being a teenager I worked several jobs that included boarding, daycare, and grooming. My love for dogs is unexplainable. I have two english bulldogs myself and treat every dog like my own. I am a full time college student. That being said, I only have certain sections of the day that I am not available. If you are willing to work with me, I will do everything I can to work with you! I have two english bulldogs and love to cuddle them! Since they are bulldogs they do have tail pockets so after every potty session there is a booty wipe after. Dogs are just like children, each have their own unique personality. I love meeting and learning how to understand each fur baby!
About: For as long as I can remember I’ve loved and been around animals. I grew up with Boston terriers and frenchies and have loved every minute. I am so passionate about all things animals. I grew up volunteering at my local vet and farm any opportunity I had. In high school, I worked primarily caring for horses and dogs. In school I studied animal science (large, small, and vet science). Since graduating high school I’ve found a passion for dog grooming. I’ve been in the grooming world for about a year and a half now. I’m currently working as a groomer. I’m finding I am really good at and enjoy working with seniors and puppies. I have a Boston terrier of my own and she is my world. I’m working as a certified dog groomer currently. In brief, I live, laugh, love dogs or eat sleep breathe dog hair, but I love it. I’m very familiar with most common ailments. I’m safety certified. In my personal home, my dog’s bowl is cleaned every other day if not every day, she’s fed fresh food and filtered water, she is walked daily, and probably has a million toys she’ll never even touch. I would truly do anything for my dog and anytime I’m entrusted with anyone else’s dog whether it be at work or at home or wherever I hold myself to that same standard of care.

“Robin did a great job communicating with me and sending me photos. It's such a comfort to be able to have someone stay in my house so Anya can stay in her own home not be anxious. The house was left in great shape with no mess anywhere. Would definitely have Robin stay with Anya again.”
“I needed a dog sitter last minute after a cancellation. She was on time, caring, responsive. Sent me several pictures and kept me updated. It was a great experience. Will definitely book again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Fosterville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fosterville on Rover is $105.45 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 696 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fosterville. 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 Fosterville 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 Fosterville 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 Fosterville 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.

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.
