“I am so happy I reached out through Rover to Joshua. I have two large dogs and one of them has endless energy, two large cats, a leopard gecko and 10 chickens. Kind of last minute, I decided to take a quick weekend trip. My younger dog is a handful and I was worried that I would not find the person to understand and care for my puppy and all the others. Then I contacted Joshua. Punctual, polite, knowledgeable about breeds and specifics and best of all!?!? Finn likes him. I had a wonderful trip. Joshua sent photos and videos and kept me updated on how everything was at home. He stayed at my home and also hous sat for me. Joshua kept the house the way I keep it. He made ire to collect my mail and some medicine that was accidentally shipped and needed to be refrigerated. I would highly recommend Joshua for both house sitting and keeping a bunch af what most people would refer to as a group of large animals. Thank you Joshua!!!”


“We are so glad we found Maris! She arrived on time and did all the things we asked her to do. She kept us updated and at ease throughout the day. She sent us pictures of our dog playing outside. She is trustworthy and pays attention to details. We will definitely book her again. 😊”


“Ebony was very wonderful to work with. She was very caring and kind and conscientious and willing to help us in anyway with any little request that we had when she stayed with our kids (our dogs😉) while we were away. She sent us a great amount of pictures and diaries of the day which is great for a pet parent to receive while they’re away. I cannot say enough good things about Ebony and I highly, highly recommend her to take care of any of your pets . We will be contacting Ebony again… if she’s not too busy😊”

“Melissa is an amazing dog/puppy sitter! She has been staying with our 9 week old doodle for the last week during the days and have nothing but positive things to say. Puppies are tough to deal with sometimes, so I’m glad we found Melissa!”


About: I’ve grew up around German shepherds since I was 5 and I’ve always found to love just playing and taking care of them. I am good with taking care of dogs with high energy and even anxious dogs as well. Im very patient to each and every dogs needs and that not every dog needs the same care. My goal is when you see your dog again they feel happy, safe and loved while I’m caring for them I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and can also provide care on weekdays, especially after 12 PM. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I have a safe and welcoming home where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I have one older, friendly dog who is used to being around other animals. Since my yard isn’t fenced, I make sure pets are always supervised outside and safely leashed when needed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and crate time if needed. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care.

About: I have had pets all my life, and I truly love caring for and looking after them because being around animals brings me happiness, comfort, and a strong sense of joy every day. I’m free most of the day. I only work at night only for a couple hours and would love to take care of any fluffy friends. I would treat your pets like my own babys. Always keep a watch on them, feed them, walk them,play with them, and clean them
“Justina was fantastic. The cats were happy as can be when I returned. And the house was in perfect shape. She sent tons of photos and was super communicative throughout. I’d highly recommend her!”


About: I genuinely love animals sooo much and I care about making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a 19 yr old who has had dogs and cats of my own, I have experience understanding their different personalities, needs, and behaviors. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m happy to help with puppies who are still learning routines, and senior pets who may need extra patience, gentle care, and attention. I also understand how important it is to keep pets on their usual schedules, give them plenty of affection, and make sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. My goal is to give every pet the same love and care I would want someone to give my own! I'm currently on a prolonged break from work for around 2 weeks, so my schedule is quite empty. I'd love to fill it with quality time and care for precious animals. I care for pets big and small from all ranges. I understand that the levels of attention, patience, boundaries, and competence are different varying from animal to animal. I'm willing to learn your furry family member's personality and care for him/her in the way that suits them best!
“Niki was a dream caregiver for our boy Charlie. She (and her little cutie pup Darby) welcomed him into her home like he was part of their family. This was our first time using Rover and boy did we get lucky to find Niki. She was extremely thorough with taking notes to consider all of his needs while we were away and communicated while we were gone so we knew he was in good hands. Thank you Niki for taking such great care of him!”


About: I have always had family dogs and animals growing up and treat them like family. I have had dogs that needed extra care and always made sure they get that care. I am now 31 and love being around animals and make sure they are loved and cared for. My brother and his wife now have 2 golden retrievers and a cat who I watch every time they go on vacation.

I am currently working part time with a lot of flexibility so have plenty of time to make sure your animals get the love they deserve. Whether it’s letting them out to go to the bathroom / taking them for walks / sitting and playing with them I make sure the dogs / cats get the love they deserve. I’m responsible, patient and will make sure your dogs get the attention and love they deserve. Whether it’s letting them out to play throwing a ball , sitting with them to keep them entertained , taking them for a walk. I will make sure your dog or dogs get the love they deserve so you will be worry free. I am also available to send as many pictures / videos you would need.
About: I grew up with dogs all my life and nothing excites me more than looking over your fur babies. I'm very responsible in assuring that your pets are well taken care of and their necessities are being met. I am employed Full-time but as most people, I do have the weekends off. My fiancé and I have opposite schedules so someone is always home! My schedule coordinates just well with our fur babies because if I'm not home, my significant other is. We have a fenced yard where your fur babies can enjoy the outdoors or run around. We have two Australian shepherds that are very energetic and love to play! Per request, your pet could be crated if asked.

About: …and ends with a tail! I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I wanted nothing more than a cat of my own, and when I finally got one, I absolutely fell in love. That love for animals has only grown over the years. Today, I share my home with one cat and one dog who are truly part of our family. Caring for them every day has given me firsthand experience with the responsibility, patience, and attention pets need to feel safe, happy, and loved. My pet care experience includes caring for my own pets as well as pets belonging to family members and friends. I have also volunteered at a cat shelter, fostered kittens, and worked at a veterinary clinic, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals with different personalities, needs, and routines. I currently provide boarding and pet care services in my home. Depending on your pet’s needs, services may include feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box care, medication administration (if needed), cuddles, enrichment activities, and lots of one-on-one attention. I understand every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow their normal routines to help them feel comfortable. I’m a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 12-year-old, which means I’m home and available most days and can spend a significant amount of time with pets throughout the day. Pet care is a priority in our home, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention. For boarding, I have a friendly dog and cat in the home. However, I also have a separate upstairs area with two large rooms available if your cat would be more comfortable having their own quiet space. I spend time in that area as well so boarded cats still receive plenty of companionship, affection, and interaction. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel at home while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 12 year old, so I am home and available almost every day. Pet care is a priority to me. I have a friendly dog and cat. However, if you are more comfortable I have a separate upstairs with 2 large rooms that I can board your cat/s. I will post pictures of the room. I would be in there a lot to keep them company.
About: Dog owners will definitely love the fact that I am dog owner myself and equipt to most dogs. I do not have exact experience from someone hiring me to take care of their pet,but I did have three dogs within a decade of my life. My animals ranged from a whole lot of fish to 6 guinea pigs to a bird to 3 dogs. Currently raising two 12 week old puppies. So I am a animal person. I would say that I am home all day to take care of my two small pups Max and Brody. I do have a good amount of time with each dog I am taking care of at the time. I would say my specials skills with animals are I try to talk to them and also try to calm them down. I do have a part time job that work the evenings mon-wednesday, Friday- Saturday schedule so I am limited at night, but during the day I can provide care for any pet here on Rover. I would make sure that everything they are taken outside that if you would have a gate that it would be closed and locked and also help secure a nice play area for the pet.
“Rebecca has been utterly amazing with our pack of pups. She spent a week with my three Chihuahuas and Pomeranian and seemed unfazed by their craziness. I loved that she gave them so much attention and spent so much time with them. When we arrived home, our house was spotless and our dogs were happy 😊 She was truly the perfect pet sitter. 💖”

About: I've been dog sitting since I was 12 years old and have been around dogs my entire life. While I've never owned my own dog, I initially watched my cousin's dogs when they were out of town, but eventually started watching dogs for family friends and within the last 10 years watched my friend's dogs when they've been out of town. Most dogs I would take on walks or let them out to run around in the yard if it's fenced in (if the area isn't great for walking). I will always take care of your dog like it's my own. I work full time Monday thru Friday 8am-5pm so would be available after 5pm or on the weekends if I'm not travelling. I'm originally from Pittsburgh PA and still go back home on some weekends or will visit NYC for a day to visit friends or family. In my clients home I would either take their dogs on a walk around the block (if the area is decent enough) or can let the dogs out in the yard if it's fenced in. I'm very careful when walking dogs and always remember to pick up after them.
“I cannot speak highly enough of Hailee. This was her first time dog sitting for us, and every single thing that could have gone wrong in our house did. Our water heater broke right before she arrived and started flooding the finished basement, the plumber that fixed the water heater accidentally left the gas off so there was no heat for 24 hours, and there was a fire down the street that caused them to turn off the power to our grid. And yet, Hailee made it all a breeze. Between coordinating with our plumber, keeping the dogs calm with the commotion in the house, and keeping us in the loop. We came home to a clean house and happy & tired dogs. You would have never known that it was a crazy week. Highly recommend if you want peace of mind & will be rebooking!”

About: Reiki. Master spiritual life healer and also can perform on pets, I’m also a great trainer, I love to take care of pets so much I hope to get me day open my own boarding retreat for them. I’m currently taking a break after surgery and decided to go for the rest of the year at home focusing on myself so I love animals I haven’t been able to stay in one state long enough so I don’t own one yet, but I hope to one day old one again and I just enjoy helping others. I get to enjoy their dogs as well. My apartment is secured and has security on site and it also has cameras throughout the whole entire property and I will only keep them around the area and down to the dog park or near the park down by me

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fountain Hill
Yani was excellent! She took such thoughtful care of our boy, Tukee, and kept us updated with photos and videos throughout our trip. Coming home to a calm, happy cat was the best feeling. You could tell he’d gotten plenty of attention and love while we were away. She even left us a handwritten thank-you card, which was such a sweet touch. We’re so grateful and will definitely book with her again!

Niki was a dream caregiver for our boy Charlie. She (and her little cutie pup Darby) welcomed him into her home like he was part of their family. This was our first time using Rover and boy did we get lucky to find Niki. She was extremely thorough with taking notes to consider all of his needs while we were away and communicated while we were gone so we knew he was in good hands. Thank you Niki for taking such great care of him!

Our regular sitter wasn't available so I was nervous about finding someone new to stay in our home with our feline brood. I found Amy and was immediately calmed. Amy is conscientious about house duties and warm and loving with our kitties. She was patient with my standoff-ish girl and medically challenged old man. She sent daily updates and pics and was flexible with her schedule. We really appreciate being able to rely on someone so responsible and caring.

I am so happy I reached out through Rover to Joshua. I have two large dogs and one of them has endless energy, two large cats, a leopard gecko and 10 chickens.

We're so thankful we found Robert! As a bit of a neurotic pet parent, and with a whole bunch of special circumstances, we were worried we'd have a hard time trusting anyone to take care of our babies. From the first meet and greet we got a great sense of comfort from Robert, and even the dogs were comfortable with him almost immediately. He was able to take care of our paralyzed 19-year old and kept our other two separate due to behavior issues. We couldn't be happier and would 100% recommend Robert!

Ebony was very wonderful to work with. She was very caring and kind and conscientious and willing to help us in anyway with any little request that we had when she stayed with our kids (our dogs😉) while we were away. She sent us a great amount of pictures and diaries of the day which is great for a pet parent to receive while they’re away. I cannot say enough good things about Ebony and I highly, highly recommend her to take care of any of your pets . We will be contacting Ebony again… if she’s not too busy😊

We had such a wonderful experience with Sarah! Our cat is very shy and usually takes a long time to warm up to people, but she was so patient, gentle, and caring throughout the stay. The regular photo updates meant so much to us and really helped us relax while we were away. It was clear our cat felt safe and comfortable in her care, which is not easy to achieve with a shy cat. We came home to a happy, well cared for cat and a house that was just as we left it. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a warm and trustworthy house sitter.

Monique helped me out when I was in a pinch and had another sitter cancel on me day-of to watch my dog. She came by to meet him and was super friendly and helpful! She sent daily updates and was friendly to work with. I’ll definitely book her in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Fountain Hill is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $81 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,476 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fountain Hill. 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 Hill 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 Hill 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 Hill 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
