Michelle did a stellar job with my two dogs. I received daily updates which put me at ease and the boy's were in great shape when I returned. I would happily use her again if the need arises.

Great sitter. On time, great communication. Kimberly stayed with our boy Buddy overnight. Buddy has separation anxiety and is very spoiled. He just needs company. Kimberly took great care of him. We'll definitely book her again in the future

Outstanding sitter! She took exceptional care of our dogs and treated them like her own. We were especially grateful for how calmly and confidently she handled Pearl during a low blood sugar episode — it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way. We came home to happy pups and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

We feel very lucky to have found Sarah! She watched our 2 dogs and cat for a week while we were out of town. We have never left our 2 rescue dogs since we have had them, so needless to say they are very attached to us. Sarah was amazing! They warmed up to her very quickly and had no problems at all.. Sarah pays attention to details and even sent us daily updates with pictures and/or videos. It was so nice to be able to relax and know our pets were in good hands and comfortable at home. We will definitely have Sarah watch our pets again!

Melanie is absolutely amazing! From the moment we met, I could tell my dog was in good hands. She took such loving care of him, sent me daily photos and updates, and made sure he stuck to his routine. It’s so hard to find someone you can truly trust, but Melanie went above and beyond. I’ll definitely be booking again — highly recommend her to anyone who wants their dog treated like family! 💕🐶

About: I’ve cared for both cats and dogs for years and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, litter box care, and following each pet’s routine. I’ll treat your pets with patience, kindness, and the same care I’d give my own. I’m currently available with a flexible schedule and can provide dependable care for your pets throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and reliable care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has a unique personality. I’ll provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

My dogs were well cared for while I was away. I very much appreciated Macallan's ability to deal with an unexpected issue of a critter getting into the yard and under the deck and my younger dog trying to get under there with it. He was very communicative of what had happened and how he dealt with it as well as keeping me well informed of the dogs medicines etc.

Erika is a reliable sitter that really connects with my 2 Irish Setters girls. She has great instincts in how to deal with what they’re thinking and how they’re behaving. Claire wasn’t feeling good and Erika cared for her and kept me informed with texts and photos. She’s cared for my girls 4 days this week and I understand why she’s rated as a Star Sitter❣️

We couldn’t have asked for a better overnight sitter than Evelyn. She took wonderful care of our fur babies while we were away, and it was clear from the moment we walked in they’d been well loved. She was attentive and responsive throughout the stay, always quick to answer messages and kept us updated. We came home to a tidy house and 3 relaxed pets. Thank you Evelyn!

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with pets in the home—usually a dog, a cat, or both—and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. My last dog passed away about four years ago, and while I would love to adopt again, I can’t right now because my son has significant allergies to cats and dogs. I truly miss the companionship and joy that pets bring, which is one of the reasons I’m so grateful to care for other families’ animals. When your dog is with me, they’ll get more than just the basics. Of course I’ll make sure their physical needs are met—walks, feeding, fresh water, and safety—but I’ll also give them plenty of affection, attention, and calm companionship. I’m comfortable with larger dogs, and I’m also happy to give basic medications (such as pills with food or treats) as needed. I’ll treat your pup like a beloved member of the family, and I’ll follow your routines and instructions closely so they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home and am available for mid day walks, as well as evening visits and walks. I also am available for pet sitting on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. I would only be able to care for pets in clients homes. I will meet your pet and you prior to our first visit to ensure I understand your pet's routine and can keep them safe during their time with me.

Feyra was great! She house sat and watched our pup and two cats while we were out of town for a wedding. We got lots of photos and videos which made us feel at ease knowing they were having a great time with her. One of our cats needed medication 3x a day and she had no problems giving him his doses and following all our instructions. We came home to happy pets and a clean home. We will definitely be keeping Feyra in mind for our future pet sitting needs!

Suzanna is the best! She took such great care of our sweet pup who has bone cancer. Her care required medications twice per day and lots of patience and love. She gives frequent updates and photos and gives you such peace of mind knowing that your dog is being cared for by someone who truly loves animals. She stayed in our home and left in cleaner than when we left! We are so grateful to have found Suzanna on Rover!

FAQs for House Sitting - La Fox

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in La Fox on Rover is $159.84 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,613 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across La Fox. 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 La Fox 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 La Fox 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 La Fox 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 with handling special pet needs in La Fox. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
