“Andy was great! She stayed at our house for a week and even cleaned and organized while she was there. Our dogs were very happy and didn’t seem to notice we were even gone. 10/10 would recommend.”
About: I grew up in a family that loved animals and I've had pets my entire life. I know how hard it is to work long hours or be away from home without them. I have spent the last 18 years working with dogs and cats. I have managed a doggie daycare and boarding facility and worked for a humane society as a community outreach manager and volunteer coordinator. Besides loving on all the pets, I spent my time there teaching animal safety to children and providing basic animal care and dog handling lessons to volunteers. I have fostered puppies and helped feed and care for cats and dogs awaiting adoption. I am pet CPR and first aid certified. I helped socialize shelter dogs by taking them out for walks, car rides, pup cups and patio time at Starbucks. I have always been the friend you call when you need a pet sitter or help with something pet related. I have two dogs and two cats of my own and they bring so much joy to my life! I love being in the company of pets and would love to spend time with yours. I work full-time Monday - Friday and have a hybrid work schedule. I work from home two days per week which gives me more flexibility to care for your pets. I am available before and after work and mid-day during the week and have more availability on the weekends. I have a lot of experience caring for my own pets, foster dogs, and pet sitting for family and friends. My own dogs do best with having a daily routine, so I tend to keep the same schedule for feeding, medication, walks and bedtime. I will do the same for your pets. My goal is to always make sure people feel good about leaving their pets in my care.
“Sydney did an amazing job taking care of our persnickety little pittie while we were out of town. She was especially mindful of the heat and our dog’s history of heat-related issues. We came home to a happy dog and an orderly house and we are so appreciative of the communication, care and photos we got from her along the way!”
“Jaden quickly won over both our doggos and cats. He even managed to get our super duper scaredy cat to like him! He diligently provided the additional care we requested like watering plants, taking them for walks, and playing with their favorite toys. We also came home to a well kept home. We will be using him again and highly recommend.”
“Sadie is amazing! She took my pet sitting request with short notice and was very easy to work with. She made sure to keep me up to date with detailed messages during her time sitting my kitten and even sent me pictures showing him being comfortable and playful around her. She also went above and beyond and did extra things around the house which I appreciated very much. She’s very respectful and professional. I will definitely request her again for my next pet sitting. Thanks Sadie!”
“Hanna was a perfect match for my kitty Princess while I was away from home. I could tell she was making a special attempt to connect with Princess by the multiple update pictures showing her doing her favorite things and giving in to her peculiar whims. I recommend her 100% for anyone looking for the extra TLC in looking after their fur kids while they're away.”
“Olivia took great care of our girls! Both of our dogs were really comfortable with her right when they first met her. She sent pictures and updates each day which i appreciated. I would book with her again next time we’re out of town!”
“Becky did absolutely amazing as a house and dog sitter. She was always in touch and our babies were in love with her. What was really amazing is that she must have a magic touch. Our doggie took to her just about right away and our youngest cat who nobody who is taken care of her has ever seen came out and said hi. For these reasons, I would highly recommend her. The house was in good shape and I felt comfortable and secure having her take care of everything for us. I’m new to this app however I would say if you see her name, then look no further. She is the best.”
“Sandy was amazing in housesitting and caring for our 9 year Bulldog. She sent pics daily and reassured us that our girl was doing well during our week vacation to Europe. Highly recommend Sandy!”
About: I LOVE dogs and cats! Growing up my family always had big dogs and fluffy cats around the house! I adore dogs of all sizes, but big dogs will always have a special place in my heart. We owned a Rottie/Lab mix, a Great Dane, an English Mastiff, and various Doodle breeds. We also had 3 Ragdoll cats. I currently have 3 Domestic Short and Long haired cats of my own with my fiancé and I love them dearly; but I really miss having a dog around the house. So helping people care for pets on Wag seemed like the perfect way to help me hang with pups! I frequently assist my friends and family with pet sitting, dog walking, and caring for their animals while they are away. Outside of animals, I work for The Department of State as a Legal Assistant and sit for 8 hours a day at a desk. Taking a dog on a nice walk or having a play session with pets sounds like a very pleasant way for me spend my time after sitting in an office all day. I also love to read, cook/bake, do yoga, play video games, and play softball on my women’s community team! I’m currently working a full time office job from 7:30am to 4:00pm, so I can be available on weekdays any time after 4:30pm or early in the morning . I can be available anytime on weekends with enough notice to plan. As much as I would love to help people board their pets, I can’t given the size of my apartment. My home is just for me and my cats :)
“Christian was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met him, we knew Dobby was going to be in wonderful hands—and that he’d found a new best friend. Christian took such great care of him and kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed, and very loved-on pup! We would absolutely love to have Christian stay in our home with Dobby again and couldn’t recommend him more highly.”

I will treat them as if they were my own. My son is going to college in August and I will be an empty nester
“Emina and Jackson were amazing! They sent me so many pictures throughout my trip. My dogs take a little while to warm up to people and they were very patient and came to meet them before so the dogs could get to know them. I will definitely use them again in the future!”

About: I am available all day every week and weekend. I am a very big dog lover and am kind hearted. I enjoy being outside and love being with furry friends. I am recently unemployed. I have had a lot of experience with dogs and grew up with multiple puppies. I lost a large amount of weight in Highschool from walking with my family dog twice everyday, throughout the summer and fall seasons. I believe greatly that animals need to be exercised everyday in order to live a full and happy life. With a willing to travel far distances and the ability to work with all breeds I hope to be a good choice for anyone who needs a dog sitter or dog walker. Thank you.
“Evan was wonderful with Mabel! He took such great care of her in our home, and his communication throughout gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a very happy, calm, and clearly well-loved Great Dane. ❤️ It was obvious Mabel enjoyed having him here! We would absolutely have Evan watch her again and highly recommend him!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Fairview
Zandra was such a great sitter to our cat Baby and dog Birdie. She took care of everything! She sent us daily updates and let us know the fun things she did with Birdie and the places they visited. We are so glad she came to stay and watch over our house and pets while we were on vacation - I would definitely recommend her with confidence!
Hanna was a perfect match for my kitty Princess while I was away from home. I could tell she was making a special attempt to connect with Princess by the multiple update pictures showing her doing her favorite things and giving in to her peculiar whims. I recommend her 100% for anyone looking for the extra TLC in looking after their fur kids while they're away.
Hanna took excellent care of our furry family while we were away. Its the longest we’ve been away from them ever. She sent updates and pics and knew what questions to ask when we met her before our trip (questions i didnt know to ask) which prepared her and us for our trip. We will happily ask Hanna to care for our cats and pup again!!!!
Christian was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met him, we knew Dobby was going to be in wonderful hands—and that he’d found a new best friend. Christian took such great care of him and kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed, and very loved-on pup! We would absolutely love to have Christian stay in our home with Dobby again and couldn’t recommend him more highly.
Elizabeth was great! Our dogs, cats, and fish tank were taken care of exceptionally. She last minute was able to administer an ear cream to one of our dogs every day while we were gone. She also helped with watering the outdoor garden. The house was in perfect shape when we came home after a week+, and the pets were perfectly happy!
Natalie was extremely communicative and sent us photos of our fur babies cuddling with her all weekend. They clearly felt loved and trusted her completely! She went above and beyond by doing tasks like washing towels and bedding at the end of her stay along with taking out the trash - things we NEVER would have expected her to do! We will 100% be reaching out to Natalie again!
She is the best pet sitter we have ever had. We never worry about the care and love our dogs will receive while we are away. She always sends a lot of pictures and videos and daily notes about each day they spend with her. If your dogs are everything to you and you miss them every second you’re away from them then Shelby will give you peace of mind with her gentle and loving care. She is also great with older animals or ones needing special medical care. You won’t regret hiring her for the care of your beloved animal companion.
Rachel was great. We communicated clearly and concisely upfront what care our 2 dogs required and she was candid about her availability. Rachel was responsive and respectful - she stayed in our home and upon return, our home was in same condition as when we left and our pups clearly had been well cared for by Rachel. I would hire her again without hesitation.
Kayla has been taking care of our two dogs, a rough coat collie and cattle dog mix for almost 2 years now. Both of them have their very own unique challenges and personalities, sometimes being very high maintenance. Kayla consistently gives them the attention they need and makes sure to communicate regularly when at our home. Kayla not only takes exceptional care of our fur babies but our home as well. I can not recommend Kayla enough for any pet needs you may have.
Tori did an amazing job as always house sitting for our two kitties while we were away for 3 days. She sent photo updates daily, made sure Kat doesn't eat Kit's food lol, and tried new ways to play with them like having Kit sit on a trash bag while dragging it around the room. She is very attentive, responsible, and has a huge heart for taking care of fur babies. She is excellent with cats and even took out our trash and kept the place spotless. This is Tori's 5th time watching our kitties this year. We are so grateful for her.
An awesome young lady!!! Based upon the “smile “ on Rocky’s mug …I’d say he’s got a another besteee! I believe our home is cleaner than when we left! Summer was able to navigate his routine and we communicated well if there were questions. We experienced some travel scheduling changes that I asked if she could accommodate…she immediately responded and made herself available! A+ experience
This was my first time using Elaina and I couldn’t have been happier. She was a good communicator, she was timely, very neat, and my cat and dog were very well taken care of. She sent a few pics to show how happy our pets were. I plan to use her again in the near future!!

FAQs for House Sitting - West Fairview
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Fairview on Rover is $65.49 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 724 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Fairview. 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 West Fairview 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 West Fairview 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 West Fairview 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 West Fairview. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
