“If you’re looking for a dog sitter, I seriously can’t recommend Abigail enough. She was so easy to work with, kept us updated while we were gone, and made leaving our dogs so much less stressful. We came home to happy pups, a clean house, and everything just as we left it. We’ll definitely be using her again!”
“I was really worried about my two girls Rajah and Zoe (boxers). Rajah and Zoe are very attached to mommy and daddy. We don’t leave them that often simply because of age and medical conditions. Rajah and Zoe toke to Brittney when we did a first meet and once again a few days before we left town for the weekend and they were completely comfortable with her and even my cat toke her, and he normally doesn’t take to strangers right away. Brittney responded to my text with in a reasonable amount of time when I messaged her. So, yes we would use Brittney again.”
About: I've grown up having dogs and cats. I love farm animals. I take care of others people's pets like my own. My husband and I have two dogs named Bonnie and Rufus. I am a stay at home wife. So pet care is the best fit for me. I also love animals so I really enjoy taking care of pets. I currently do not have a fence in yard. My dog Bonnie stays indoors. I can use a collar and leash. I can also use a crate if needed.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life including horses, rabbits, chickens, hamsters and turtles. I have several dogs and cats now. Love them all. I do gig jobs as a driver so I am out and about a lot, know the area and can stop by anytime after 11 am. I will feed, walk, play with dogs. I will clean litter boxes for cats if need be. Please leave written instructions for all of them.
About: I’ve owned a few dogs growing up and I took care of feeding, bathing, and walking them every day and walks were every other day. I’m off work usually by 3:00-3:30, Monday through Friday but have weekends off. Your fur babies are welcome into our home whenever a play date is scheduled or if you need a weekend get away I’m more than happy to come to your home to take care of them. Their comfortability is my #1 priority. I make sure while I am at the owners home I either take their dog(s) on a walk or if there’s a yard go outside and play for 30-40 min to get the zoomies out; then go back inside, feed and relax, outside break one more time before I leave.
“This is the first time I've used Rover for pet sitting. Kristina was available for the week I needed so I did a meet and greet first and my dogs fell in love with her. She stayed and cared for my babies as if I was still here and sent pictures everyday so I could see their happy faces. Kristina is easy to communicate with and took good care of the dogs and my house. I would highly recommend her. I definitely will call on Kristina again.”
“Jessica was such a refreshing change! Porter loved her and she also left the house cleaner than when I left. My pup is a very spoiled/particular child and she listened to his needs and met them all. Thank you Jessica and welcome to the family. We will rebook with you again very soon!”

About: I have had taken care of/lived with various dog breeds, and have walked and raised dogs since I can remember. I recently began volunteering at Alaqua walking and playing with dogs, and I have experience dog sitting and walking my neighbors dogs. I have worked with puppies, middle aged dogs, older dogs, both big and small! I love dogs unconditionally and I will do everything in my power to ensure they stay spoiled and happy :). I work part-time closing shifts at my job, so I am available for early mornings and late nights. I work whenever I am scheduled, but I am always off on Wednesdays! My normal shift is normally 4pm-10pm, so I am available to dog sit, check-in, or walk before and after my shift! I cannot care for pets at my own home, but I will ensure that when I come to your home, I will keep it looking good as new. I am a chronic dish washer if any dishes or slight cleaning needs to be made. I am also no stranger to accidents that dogs are prone to, as one of my past dogs had a sensitive stomach, especially when it came to my carpeted floors. I will do whatever your dog wants to do, but my favorite aspect of it all is to ensure that the dog is happy and to make a connection with them. I love being active and playing, but I can also just simply snuggle up with them.

Whether your pet is crate-trained or prefers to free roam, I will respect your preferences and ensure they are safe and comfortable. I am committed to going the extra mile to give your pet the attention, care, and security they deserve, treating them as if they were my own.

About: Hi! I’m darian. In my opinion, pets aren’t just animals, they’re members of the family who deserve the absolute best care, respect, and affection. I pride myself on being a deeply compassionate, reliable, and kind person, and my goal is to give you total peace of mind while you’re away. As a former dog mom who brought her dog with her everywhere, it caused so much anxiety not being able to bring him with me or leaving him with someone outside of my immediate family. Luckily, we met a phenomenal pet sitter on Rover who we trusted until the very end 🖤 Now I want to provide the same love, patience, and kindness that I would give to my own. Although I have zero experience on Rover, I have 14+ years of experience between pet ownership and pet-sitting for family and friends. I have a cat allergy which prevents me from owning a cat however, I’d be more than happy to get my kitty fix from your fur baby the next time you’re out of town! I’m also opened to accommodating to specific routines/procedures or administering medication with the proper care plan ahead of time. This applies to overnight care, walking, and drop-in services! Mondays & Thursdays between 6:30&9:30am I am unavailable, other than those set times I am opened to opportunities! I am unmarried with no children which provides me with more flexibility in my schedule. I am new on Rover however, I am fully aware of how vulnerable it is to allow someone into your home and to take care of your animal, a beloved member of your family. Since I am new to Rover, I am happy to provide character references to ensure my credibility as a reliable, trustworthy person.

I send daily photo updates, follow your exact instructions, and ensure your pets feel comfortable and happy while you’re away! I am available every day of the week. I can walk dogs as needed. I provide specialized care and make sure each pet is given what they need each day to be happy. I have a fully fenced backyard for the dogs to run around and play. I have toys and treats. I have a crate available in my home if needed.

About: I have had pets of all kinds my entire life. I have experience with doggie day care, I was a "feline personal trainer" with the Michigan Humane Society, and I have years of foster & rescue work!

I also have experience with kids and have been recently background checked and approved per DCFS requirements for preschool teaching. I am creative, outgoing, friendly, and I would love to pamper your pet! I work for myself and my schedule is completely flexible so I can help spoil your fur babies at any time of the night or day! I will care for your pets with all my heart, follow of your established routines, abide by all of your safety rules, and keep in touch as often as you like with pictures!
About: I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each one.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 131 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
