“Kathy is a great pet sitter with great communication. We never have to worry about our pets when Kathy watches them. She treats them like they are her own.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11. I recently had to let my two girls go, so I’m looking forward to loving on your babies. I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs. Both of my girls needed medication towards the end, so I’m familiar with administering pills on a schedule and anything else that goes with owning a senior dog. My oldest had dementia, so if your pup has that, I can handle the quirks that come with that. I’ve also watched my friends bigger dogs, and they love just as much cuddles as the little ones do. Taking your fur baby out for walks, cuddling with them, and playing with their favorite toys would bring so much joy. You’ll have peace of mind (and updates) if you let me take care of them like you would. I am a teacher, so during the weekends and summer I have all the time to spoil your precious baby. Being a teacher also means I can spend extended time with your pet during the summer. I’m very good at following schedules and routines to help make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I will love on them, play with them, and do anything else you need so both of you feel relaxed while you’re at work or on a trip.
“I have booked with Felicia three times now, and she has consistently provided a great experience. What stands out most is her attention to detail; she asks a lot of questions upfront to make sure she fully understands my dog's routine and comfort levels. It’s clear she wants to get everything exactly right, which gives me a lot of peace of mind while I'm away. She is reliable, communicative, and truly cares about the well being of the animals in her care. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone thorough and attentive!”
“Did a great job taking care of Luna (dog) and KB (rabbit) over the thanksgiving holidays. He was able to take Luna on a walk and get her out of the house which was perfect for her. Would re-book again in a heart beat for my next travel needs.”
“Gracie was wonderful! Our pets were well cared for and house was kept tidy. She sent multiple updates and photos each day, and asked questions if she needed assistance. We would happily rebook Gracie another time.”
“Samantha was great! My pup has a lot of medication and medical needs and is just a handful on top of that. Samantha was on top of all of her needs and was super flexible with times! Thank you so much Samantha!!”
“Morgan was awesome with Ginger and the house. She was engaged with her and made sure she had lots of playtime. She was reliable, prompt, good communicator. and a great listener. She did everything I had asked for. Ginger enjoyed her company :)”
“JaNasia is incredibly kind, patient, and responsible. She was able to handle our small zoo without issue and was always responsive and easy to reach. Will definitely be reaching out to book with her again!”
“Brandon was fantastic! Parra seemed very content when I got home. He did a great job of communicating, putting me at ease, sending updates, and taking good care of my home.”
“An absolute angel!! Adriana was a blessing for my partner and I during our little weekend getaway. She was so friendly, so heart warming and loving to our fur babies, always assured us when she was feeding them or taking our pup for a walk. Sent a plethora of pictures and videos that really just warmed our hearts and made it so thankful to have her. We’re both so beyond thankful for her and we absolutely cannot wait for another chance to rebook with her!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, farm animals, reptiles, and birds. My family bred Great Danes while I was growing up, so I helped care for newborn puppies and learned early on how important patience, routine, and enrichment are for animals of all ages. I also regularly care for my family’s senior Great Dane during vacations, so I’m comfortable with both energetic young pets and older animals who need extra gentle care. As a flexible college student, I’m available for weekends, recurring drop-ins, and overnight house sitting in your home. I love adapting to each pet’s personality — whether they need calm reassurance, playful energy, or lots of attention and enrichment. I follow instructions carefully and send frequent updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently work part-time only 2–3 days a week (5-7 hour shifts), which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for drop-ins, recurring visits, and overnight house sitting, as well as open on weekends! I’m also happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to provide consistent care! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and household instructions so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m experienced with large breeds, senior pets, puppies, and non-traditional pets, so I’m comfortable handling unique routines and specialized care. I truly love animals of every kind, and I’ll care for your pets with the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want for my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Albemarle Farms
Kathy was absolutely fantastic. She made a point to come meet everyone before the sitting, was personable and thoughtful, and was a fantastic communicator both before and during the sitting. She made sure to send pictures and updates throughout the stay to keep me updated on how things were going. My pets were absolutely spoiled during Kathy's stay, and it is obvious she went above and beyond to make them feel loved. I cannot recommend Kathy highly enough.

FAQs for House Sitting - Albemarle Farms
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Albemarle Farms on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,205 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Albemarle Farms. 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 Albemarle Farms 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 Albemarle Farms 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 Albemarle Farms 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.

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.
