“I can’t recommend Kenedeigh enough. She said YES with very short notice. Was a great communicator, didn’t balk at how far she had to come, got here early, and was so sweet and kind. My boys instantly loved her! They’ve never been boarded and never had anyone but family watch them, but it was so nice to know they were loved and safe so we could go on an excursion.”
“Amazing we feel so comfortable leaving all our dogs with Samantha. She has a way with them, she’s so prepared, and they respect her as well. She goes above and beyond anything we could ever ask for.”
“Nicole is the absolute best. She’s my #1 go to doggy sitter for my two Pomeranians. I know when Nicole is there she is taking care of them. I never have to worry. Nicole is prompt and does what she says, and says what she does! I am so grateful for her!!”
“Mario was absolutely great! First time taking care of our three girl rescue dogs and it went great. Very communicative and appreciated all the pictures!”
“Kimberly was very communicative throughout my time away and seemed great with the animals! I came back and she had cleaned the litter box without asking and all 4 animals were very happy and well taken care of!”
“Jamie did a great job dog sitting with our two older small dogs while we were away. They were well cared for and happy when we returned. She was very respectful of our house too. We would definitely schedule her again.”
“Beverly did a great job with our dog Koda. We will definitely be using her again. She sent pictures everyday and left the house exactly how we left it. I would recommend her to anyone! ☺️”
“He did absolutely amazing with our pups and made sure they had plenty of entertainment, potty breaks, and medications. He was great with communication and I appreciated all the updates.”
“Julia was amazing! Her communication was stellar and she sent me pictures of our dogs daily. I know our pups loved having her stay with them and they got great exercise. Julia also collected our mail, took out our trash and kept our house clean and tidy. We would recommend her and use her again for our next trip out of town.”
“Alison was a fantastic pet sitter! We have two big dogs and three cats that are used to having people around all the time, and she fit right into the mold and took excellent care of them - providing plenty of play time, exercise, and snuggles. Alison was super communicative and shared great updates and pictures, and she also took great care of our home while we were away. I would (and already have!) absolutely book Alison again in the future!”
About: Graduated from Vet tech school and passed my national exam. I am a registered veterinary technician and I am CPR and first aid certified in dogs and cats, and I have a natural passion for animal care and welfare. I have open availability to be able to serve all of your pet care needs. Extra fees may apply for early morning/ late night or holiday hours. I feel comfortable and confident in my availability to access situations and react in the most appropriate manner, especially when it comes to emergencies. Your pets are safe in my care.
About: I love animals, especially our loyal buddies! I truly enjoy their company. I’ve volunteered an animal shelter on the weekends and I’ve always grown up around dogs, caring for them at a young age . I also have taken behavioral training with my own pup so I have knowledge and experience in proper, safe and respectful interaction with dogs. I have a regular job through the week , but happy to help on weekends or evening as well depending on schedule, just please let me know in advance. For drop in visits , I make sure I enter calmly since I’m in their home , their territory. I will follow instructions for feeding and care and stay with the pet(s) for as long as the time was booked.
About: I come from a family of animals lovers. I began pet sitting for a licensed pet sitting company when I was 17 years old and then moved into the veterinary field full-time. I have experience in emergency clinics and wellness clinics, so I'm comfortable administering medication for older or ill animals if needed. I have some experience with exotics and small animals (rodents specifically) and I’m happy to follow care instructions for species that are new to me! I work full time, five days a week. My pet care schedule would be morning/evening drop ins around my work hours and overnight stays. I have two very spoiled cats at home and two mice that I love. For clients, I am happy to stop in and spend time with your kiddos and make sure everyone is doing well! I tend to be a homebody, so I am also glad to come spend a few evenings reading or playing on my computer while making sure your fur babies aren't alone and have someone to cuddle with!
“Maria is the best! Thank you for taking care of our pets. She was communicative throughout our vacation and took extremely good care of the house and of our fur babies. Would highly recommend her.”

“Cassandra was great. She took care of our dogs and house as if it were her own. She even had to get rid of a ground squirrel one of our dogs caught…above and beyond care for sure! Will definitely ask her to care for them again on our next trip.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fountain
cannot recommend Emily enough. She took amazing care of my dogs while I was away in the field, and having multiple dogs with different personalities and needs is not always easy. She was incredibly attentive, patient, and reliable throughout the entire time. She kept me updated, made sure the dogs were well cared for, and treated them like they were her own. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing they were safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while I was gone. When I came home, my dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. As someone in the military who can be called away unexpectedly or for extended periods, dependable pet care means everything, and she absolutely exceeded expectations. I would trust her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone compassionate, responsible, and genuinely caring with animals.
Our first time using Cherontae and we were extremely pleased! She was wonderful with our Dobies and they absolutely loved her! We were continuously updated with photos beyond our expectations. We will most definitely be using her in our future travels! Thanks again and again Tae!!!
Agustina is a wonderful pet sitter! She was always communicative, provided updates and photos, and was a joy being around our pups. Our pups seemed to warm up to her and be playful. We are glad we had a trustworthy person to attend their needs in the comfort of their home.
She was absolutely awesome! We have a very strict schedule for all three of our babies and she was able to stick to the schedule as well as ask any questions while we were away. Definitely look forward to making her part of the family and booking her again! She went above and beyond by sending us pictures of the babies as well as cleaning up the house before she left which we didn't expect lol she's awesome!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fountain on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,222 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fountain. 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 Fountain 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 Fountain 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 Fountain 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.
