“Andrew stayed with my babies for the second time. He does a great job with them, they are well cared for, house still looks great when I return, and he checks in. I will continue booking with him and highly recommend.”
“Gina is the best. We have 2 bigger dogs and she handles them great. We don’t worry at all when they are in her hands and we’ve even taken longer trips up to 5 days. She is pleasant and responsible with a nice sense of humor. Our dogs love her and are comfortable around her. You can tell Gina is a dog person by the way she interacts with them. No fear and completely comfortable which also helps the pups not be anxious while we are gone. I highly recommend Gina.”
“Abby was wonderful with our dogs. They were happy to see her every night. We got home and everything was great, she even watered my flowers. She sent us pictures and stayed in contact. We will have her again”
“Brooke is the absolute best!! We traveled to Springfield from the East Coast with our older lab/boxer mix, Charlotte, and needed someone to stay with her in our hotel room for 5 hours while we were away. Charlotte was completely comfortable with her and we were able to enjoy our time out without worrying about her care. Having a trained vet tech watch her made us at ease in using a complete stranger, and once we met her we knew for sure that things would go well. I could not have chosen a better person to stay with our cherished pet! Whenever we return to Springfield, she will be our #1 choice.”
“A Guardian Angel in Disguise: My Extraordinary Experience with Jade, a Rover.com Pet Sitter When I booked Jade on Rover.com for a routine two-day hospital stay, I never imagined I'd be gaining a vital member of my home healthcare team! What started as a simple pet-sitting gig turned into a two-week saga of unwavering support, incredible flexibility, and heartwarming kindness running interference between pets and healthcare strangers in the house. Meet the Furry Patients Before I dive into the remarkable service provided by Jade, let me introduce you to my four-legged family members: * Addy: A protective, anxious, 67 lbs., 9-year-old deaf Sheepy with a heart of gold. * Ollie: A ditzy, 46 lbs., 2-year-old Border Collie with long hair everywhere, high excitement and love and kisses for everyone! Both of these largish dogs are on a specialized prey-model raw diet, which adds an extra layer of complexity to their care. From Pet Sitter to Healthcare Hero What was supposed to be a straightforward back surgery turned into a week-long hospital stay, followed by a challenging recovery at home. This is where Jade truly shined, transforming from a temporary caregiver into an indispensable ally in my healing journey. Above and Beyond: 24/7 Care Without hesitation, Jade stepped up to provide round-the-clock care for Addy and Ollie. But her responsibilities didn't stop at the usual walk, feed, and play routine. She became a master of adaptation, tackling tasks that were far beyond the typical pet-sitting job description: 1. Raw Diet Guru: With no prior experience, she dove headfirst into the world of raw feeding. Picture her wading through my freezer, pulling out various meats, and quickly learning the intricacies of raw diet preparation. Her willingness to learn and attention to detail ensured my pups didn't miss a beat in their nutrition. 2. Canine Exercise Expert: Despite their size and energy levels, she managed to keep both Addy and Ollie well-exercised and content. 3. Home Helper Extraordinaire: Beyond pet care, she pitched in wherever needed around the house. Her presence was like a soothing balm, reducing my stress and allowing me to focus on recovery. Ingenuity in Action Our sitter's resourcefulness was truly impressive. When faced with Addy's protective nature and hearing impairment, she developed a system of gentle approaches that soon had my cautious Sheepdog wagging her docked behind in greeting. The Impact: More Than Just Pet Care The peace of mind provided by Jade was immeasurable. Knowing that Addy and Ollie were not just cared for, but truly loved and engaged, allowed me to focus on my recovery without worry. Her presence turned what could have been a stressful and challenging time turned into a period of unexpected support and compassion and a new friend.”
“Mary Ann did an outstanding job caring for our cats. She spent quality time with them, provided frequent updates, and sent plenty of photos throughout our time away, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned home, it was obvious our cats had been genuinely loved and well cared for—not simply fed and left alone. They were happy, relaxed, and clearly received the attention and affection they needed. I highly recommend Mary Ann to anyone looking for a pet sitter who will care for their pets with the same love, dedication, and attention that an owner would.”

About: I have been taken care of animals since I can remember! I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals/different breeds and I love it! I have been taking care for friends and family, and I’m just trying to get more out there! I’d cuddle with them, play with them, feed them and give them treats, I take them on walks, I’ve taken some dogs to get groomed, I’ve even given baths before, and I’d do whatever needed to be done! I’ve stayed over night with animals before while the owners were out of town and I love being with new animals! I’ve also had to take care of some animals that needed insulin and other medications! I used to have a senior dog that I would have to help get up and carry outside when he needed to go! I love taking care of any animals and have so much fun doing it! I am currently working part time so I’d definitely have time to play with the animals and take them out as many times as needed! I work morning shifts so I’m free in the afternoon! I’m always taking care of my animals as well so I’m definitely used to it! My kitties have a cat tree they love and lots of toys we play with! I can do whatever is needed to take care of them! I can create your dog if necessary!
“Laura was great to work with. She accepted my booking on short notice when my circumstances changed. She took very good care of my older dog and my home. She sent daily updates and lots of pictures. My dog was relaxed with Laura and much happier staying in our home. Laura kept in contact with me until I made it home as planned. I would definitely book with her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 94 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mount Fulcher. 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 Mount Fulcher 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 Mount Fulcher 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 Mount Fulcher 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.
