“We ended up needing a last minute sitter and we were so lucky to find Phyllis! She was very responsive and kind! She took such great care of our pups and helped ease my mind. We actually booked her again for the following weekend and am thankful for her kindness and gentleness.”
“First time using Rover. Jordan was excellent, even offering to do a meet and greet to let our dogs get familiar with her and to go over their routine. Very communicative with updates about the dogs and overall just a very positive and really easy experience on what was a really busy travel weekend for us.”
About: I have experience with several breeds of dogs and different types of animals. My Macee is a 4 year old Frenchton! I have previous experience with cats and goats. My previous Boston Terrier, Angel (and she was an Angel❤️) unfortunately passed away from cancer in 2025 so I also have some senior/disabled pet care experience. I currently work full-time with children so some dates are limited but I am happy to help when/where I can! My availability is typically every other weekend but I may be able to make an exception where needed. Don't hesitate to ask! I currently do not have a fenced in yard so I am only offering drop in/pet sitting in the pets home at this time.
“We are always scared to leave our dog with a stranger, but Sammy did great!! She updated me each time she went over and sat with him for a while so he wasn’t alone for so long. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“So grateful for Damica during our time away. She always sends pictures and took our boys out on walks and visits to the dog park. We never have to worry about being away and our boys not being taken care of! 💜”
“Brittany dog sat in our home for 5 nights and was amazing! Very responsive, sent pics of our pups, and took care of the house very well. She is very sweet and our dogs loved her. I would recommend her to others and hire her again!”
About: Hey, my name is Bailey and I love working with animals. I grew up on a farm with horses, goats, chickens, but most importantly cats and dogs. When I was a kid my grandparents bred puppies and I would help take care of them. Moving forward anytime someone needed help feeding and walking their dogs I volunteered. I have dog sat many times and had dogs come to my house a few times as well. I have one dog myself, a pit mix named Goofy. I work part-time 5 days a week. I'm available for overnight stays and can walk and feed your pet both before and after work. I consider myself very active and will be happy to take your dogs on plenty of walks. I can walk around your neighborhood or take a quick trip to a nearby park. I love playing with dogs and cats, especially laser and fetch. I love fetch. I have a special needs cat and I make my own food and treats for my dog so if your animal has any dietary or medical requirements I will happily rise to the occasion.
About: I have had pets my entire life. From dogs and cats, to reptiles, fish and rodents! I’m very good at training. I have been caring for pets since I was 10 years old, starting with an elderly ladies puppy cocker spaniel. I’m also very patient, and I love activities like walking, and playing. I currently have mornings from 6am-4pm available. I have night classes from 5pm-11pm Monday-Thursday. My weekends are available with open availability being Friday-Sunday I have a fenced in yard, with one dog, one cat, and one Betta! We have a feeding schedule, we take walks, and so mentally stimulating activities such as training and puzzles
About: I am truly fascinated about animals of all kinds, especially the “weird” ones! Growing up in North Carolina, I naturally had a passion for the outdoors, and the creatures who inhabit it. I quickly learned to have respect for these animals and have always wanted to learn more. I have years of personal experience caring for and loving dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, geckos, chickens, and freshwater fish, but I am comfortable with many other species as I also have experience as an exotic veterinary assistant. I will always listen to every comment or concern, and make sure I am 100% available for all of your animal’s needs! I will always personally conduct a “history” with you, about your pet(s) before any booking! I feel like it is important to note certain information so I can look for any changes during our time together. I always log eating, drinking, defecation, and behaviors so I can ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible! Lastly, I understand that I am being entrusted with your animal’s care, and I take that very seriously. If there is ever a slight cause for concern, you will be contacted immediately! Typical Routines: maintaining food and water schedule as requested (plus cleaning food/water dishes daily), following scheduled potty breaks as directed, any enrichment/playtime/exercise activities, refreshing bedding, brushing/grooming, etc. Please refer to my calendar for more details about scheduling.I look forward to working with you and your pet(s)! I always approach animals with care and ease. I am never forceful or use a loud voice, and try to be as attentive to their needs as possible!
“Thank you for taking such good care of our furr babies!! Thank you for being so trust worthy and communicative. I knew they were in good hands and was able to relax while out of town. Also, thank you for taking care of the house. Will book again!”
“Jasmyne was amazing! Our dog can be pretty anxious but did great with Jasmyne — and she gave us lots of updates and photos throughout the time we were gone; which helped put us at ease too. The house was in tip-top shape when we returned, and our dog was happy and content. We will definitely be calling on Jasmyne again!”
“I had another sitter cancel on me last minute for a four day trip out of town for my sister’s wedding. I found Darlene at the last minute and truly consider her a lifesaver She came and met my girls same day and took great notes on all of their care. She immediately put me at ease, leaving them with a new person on one day notice for a super important event. I got frequent updates with photos of my babies and even got to FaceTime them while I was out of town for four days. My dogs were so happy when I came home. My house looked great and she provided wonderful updates and care of the entire time. Could not have asked for a better sitter for my girls and she absolutely saved what could’ve been a really terrible situation. We have already planned our next overnight before I even got home. Thank you so much for the amazing care”
“On top of an awesome temperament, Michaela is also a great communicator. Our furry child is super anxious, very reactive and gives no indicators of when he’s getting fed up (until you find out that he’s fed up). In the past, he usually doesn’t open up to sitters; however, Michaela was able to get him to let her pet him (which never happens)! To complicate our booking, our poor little guy had his first ever seizure two days before the booking was to begin. It was very hard to leave him, especially since Michaela was new to us. She was confident in her capabilities to care for him still, and she managed his care like a champ.”

About: I was a devoted pet parent for 12 years, caring for my yorkies Maggie & Molly from the time they were one through their senior years. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, maintaining routines, and administering insulin injections when needed.

About: I’ve had my own dog now for about 12 years! I’ve been taking good care of her! Always there when she needs of me and her assistance. I’m a college student that loves pets. I would love to take care of a pet between my breaks of studying. I only study so this is perfect for me🙂 I make sure my pets have food and water. I also am very aware of their needs. I love and care for dogs and cats. I have a dog of my own and I love playing with her. My boyfriend has a lot of cats and I enjoy taking care of them when his parents are out of town.
“Taylor watched our two dogs at our home and was amazing! I am an anxious dog owner and rarely feel good about leaving them, but I was able to relax when Taylor was there. She was super communicative, punctual, and followed all of our requests. Her updates were great.”
“Marek stepped up to the plate and accepted a last minute day care request. My dog had a riotous day playing with his dogs and got more than his share of exercise. Marek's rates are very low and don't reflect the care that he gave to my grateful pet.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,362 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fountaintown. 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 Fountaintown 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 Fountaintown 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Fountaintown 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
