“Jackie was so wonderful in helping take care of our cat and dog while we were away for a week! She’s incredibly kind, and it was clear that our animals took to her almost immediately. Jackie spent some time at our house during the week to keep our cat company, while our dog slept at her house. We came back to our home looking just as we left it. Highly recommend an would use again in a heartbeat!”
“I loved Alyssa's help taking care of my dog Tango. She did everything I asked her to do. She was very responsible and my dog Tango loved her. During my trip, she sent me photos of Tango's walks with her in the park. 100% recommended.”
“While Evita watched our pup Molly overnight at our house, she was punctual and communicated well. She also took Molly on a nice long walk each day that pleasantly tuckered her out. Molly seemed calm and happy when we returned home.”
“Cathy was fantastic! She was very easy to work with, and very friendly to our dog, Joey. You can tell she has plenty of experience with pets. We definitely plan on hiring her again!”
“Joe is great. He stayed with our Chihuahua for a couple days and nights. He's responsive, sends great photos and Fiona seems relaxed and well cared for now that we are home.”
About: I have been caring for pets for over 20 years. I currently have two cats but have had as many as four at one time. Family, friends, and neighbors call on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets. I’ve been an in-home pet sitter since 2017. I’ve cared for kittens, senior cats, and dogs over one year old. I work remotely part-time. My schedule allows flexibility for me to help care for your pets. I’m available Monday through Saturday after 11am - afternoons and evenings. I also have availability on most holidays. I can care for your pets in your home where they will be most comfortable. I would like to meet my clients and their fur babies before accepting a booking. I will follow all instructions and schedules regarding walking, feeding, and playing with/exercise your pets. I will also sit with your pets to keep them company while you’re out.
About: I've taking care of dog for over 5 year plus now. My friends and family trust and relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and have their pets stay overnight at my house. My house is especially a good environment for dog because my yard is fenced and the dog have their own furniture and their own room. I'm currently a stay at home dog mom and a bake at home so I have plenty of time to play and walk your pet which I love doing. My yard is fenced and I have a friendly dog to keep your dog company while he/she is here. I have plenty of toys and treats available for the dogs as well.
“I am very very protective over my dog who is a pitbull mix. Jenna is amazing. From day one she made it clear she was confident in working with my dog. My dog is like my child and I wouldn't even trust family to watch him. She gained a relationship with him first starting with weekly walks and he warmed up to her. The updates she provided allowed for a worry free trip out of state knowing my dog was in great hands. Couldn't have asked for a better person to trust with my doggos care!”
“Maggie did a wonderful job with Morgan & Frankie. She arrived when asked and even stayed longer then planned due to a flight delay. I received pictures and the dogs seemed happy and at ease. She said they were well behaved-everything a dog Mom wants to hear. She will help us again in a few days and I have total confidence they are in good hands and they will be happy to see her. I highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving them lots of attention. I’m reliable, patient, and will always treat your pets like they’re my own. I also have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them! I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and pet sitting. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and am happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, or house rules. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care while keeping you updated with pictures and messages so you know they’re safe and happy.
“Isabel was amazing!! I just recently adopted my dog and this was my first time leaving him. She made me feel so safe and I didn’t have to worry at all while I was away. She was incredibly responsive and took care of all of his needs before I even thought to ask.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10. I have a golden retriever now and love all kinds of dogs. I grew up around dogs my whole life so I am very comfortable with them! I have 3 years of experience in dog walking as well as housesitting. I graduated college in May and am back at home. I now have a lot of open availability! I have a golden retriever who I walk three times a day, morning, evening and night. At my house I have a fenced in backyard but I also like to take my dog for long walks as well. I am comfortable walking dogs long distances.
“Sara and Ethan were excellent. They swooped to the rescue to cover a full week just a few days before we left (a different sitter canceled last minute). Our pup Bailey adored them, but more importantly, we could tell how genuinely they adored him. He was in great spirits when we returned and had been well looked after. They followed all our guidance and were consistent in providing daily updates. Our house was in great shape too, having watched Bailey here. We will be booking them again soon!”
About: I have walked dogs for other families previously. I also have 7 animals at home, so I am quite experienced in animal care. I know about both dogs and cats. I currently work full time. I am available during the week after 5pm. I am also available anytime on the weekends. Might have early morning hours during the week as well. I will not be offering services in my home. However, I will make sure all animals are fed, hydrated and properly cared for. My main focus will be walks.
“Tabitha was awesome! One of our dogs is extremely cautious with new people, and Tabitha was so patient and understanding with him. She had the knowledge to work with him communicated with us consistently with any questions. We are very grateful. She was also very respectful of our home and followed any tips/directions we left her with. Would absolutely recommend Tabitha to anyone.”
“Ana was absolutely phenomenal! She was super kind, professional, and sent multiple updates and photos throughout the stay to let us know how our lil guy was doing. We will definitely book again in the future if needed!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Fox Point is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $73 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.

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 Fox Point 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 Fox Point 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 Fox Point 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fox Point. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
