“Laina was an excellent caretaker for Cooper. Cooper has lots of anxiety and needs lots of patience which Laina was able to provide. She had great communication the whole time and made me feel comfortable Cooper was cared for. As difficult as Cooper can be to handle she was able to do it. I would happily recommend Laina to anyone who wants their dog cared for properly for their specific needs. She even got Cooper to feel comfortable enough to lick her hand which is not like him with new people. Great communication, great care, ten out of ten experience, by far the best I could’ve hired. Thank you so much Laina!”
“Levon is amazing! My boy Melvin is very skittish and inclined to be fearful of new men, but Levon put him at ease right away, and Melvin was licking his face and trying to climb on him within minutes of our first meeting! I’m blown away by how Levon immediately knew exactly how to handle and communicate with Melvin—my guy is definitely a tough case with major anxiety and leash reactivity (which means 62 lbs jerking at your arm when our passing-trigger protocol fails to keep him calm), and Levon is literally the one and only person I feel comfortable handing the leash to as of right now. I was finally able to take a three-day trip without Melvin over Thanksgiving because of Levon—I hadn’t been able to do that since adopting him because he’s such a handful and has some special needs—and I was actually able to enjoy myself without worrying about Melvin! For him it was just a great visit with his buddy who took him for awesome outings to walk and hike, and quality time at the house where he received lots of love and attention. Melvin and I are so grateful to have Levon as our go-to now for when I want to schedule trips, and also as someone who can bring him out on adventures for extra exercise and stimulation!”
“Luna can be a bit funny with new people, being pretty anxious and not wanting to be petted. Hannah was patient with Luna, adjusting as needed to try to keep Luna as comfortable and less stressed as possible. Eventually, Luna calmed down and was sleeping in the bed with Hannah and allowing pets, which means she was finally comfortable with Hannah. The daily updates with pictures gave me peace of mind while I was away from my pup, too! I will for sure use Hannah again for future dogsitting needs!”
“We needed a sitter to watch our dog, Bernie, during our wedding weekend. Bernie is reactive, doesn't trust many people, and has only stayed with a select few trusted people in the past (who were all at our wedding), but he LOVES Megan. She went out of her way to understand and accommodate his reactivity, and came a few times before the day to make sure he was comfortable. We got photos throughout her stay of all the play sessions, cuddles and walks Bernie enjoyed- which assured us he was not only well taken care of, but having a great time. Megan is also an all around great human. When our original wedding was cancelled due to Hurricane Helene and we couldn't get in contact with anyone, Megan came to our house to make sure we didn't still need a sitter. I have a severe food allergy that requires we don't bring gluten in the house, and she was respectful and cognizant throughout her stay. If you need a sitter for your pet, I would 1000% recommend Megan. We will definitely be rebooking!”
“Alex was very thorough and very kind and went the extra mile for our dog Bandit. Always above and beyond what needed to be done. Bandit loved having Alex stay with him while we were on our trip.”
“Sonya was great! She stayed with our dog Moose and our gecko Spike. She sent so many wonderful photos and communicated throughout. We really appreciate her taking such good care of them both.”
“Mandolyn was great with our pup! She engaged him mentally and physically and was a trooper keeping him occupied during several days of rain. She listened, followed instructions and takes her job seriously. Will definitely use her again.”
“Jackson and Nichole were absolutely fantastic house and dog sitters! From the moment I initially reached out, they got back to me immediately and maintained incredible communication throughout the entire meet-and-greet process. When they came to the house, it was clear they were truly excited to meet and hang out with my pups, Lily and Thatcher. I admit I can be a little over-the-top when it comes to the safety and happiness of my dogs, but they made me feel completely comfortable and safe. I practically sent them a book of instructions and expectations, and they happily confirmed everything while working through any potential concerns. While I was away, they provided daily updates with pictures and videos, which gave me total peace of mind. They even went above and beyond by leaving work during their lunch break just to provide an additional potty break during the day. I couldn't recommend them more highly to anyone looking for attentive, reliable, and deeply caring sitters.”
“Kathy was simply amazing 🤩 my Brady felt safe and very happy he got lots of hugs and kisses Kathy left my house spotless we all loved her and hopefully use her services again 😘😘😘😘😘😘”
“Wow! Natalia was a dream. This was our first experience with Rover. We had an unexpected emergent trip out of town and needed someone to watch our 4 babies. Yes, you read that right , 4! Natalia came to our house before hand and meet all the babies and they were really taken with here. We immediately felt comfortable with her and once we left out of town she was a dream. She texted us pictures every day multiple times and walked our babies twice a day. In our time of duress Natalia was a great relief for us. For certain if and when we need sitting services Natalia will be our girl.”
“I really appreciate Sydney’s patience with my dog who can be high energy. I will definitely reach out to Sydney in the future when I need a trustworthy compassionate petsitter!”
“Logan was great. He communicated regularly including leading up to his first sleepover. He left the house great condition and my pups were so happy with him that they barely even got excited when I came home. Definitely a good experience and will call him again!”
“Lynsey is wonderful! She provided loving care for our dog and parrot for 10 days in October 2022. We especially appreciated her regular updates including photos. Thank you again, Lynsey!”
About: i’ve been around animals all my life! i’m highly experienced with cats of all ages and i am very comfortable with small to most large dogs. i would say i’m least compatible with reactive dogs. i work full time. i wake up in the morning and feed my 16 year old, three legged cat for the day. she has an automatic feeder. i scoop her litter box multiple times a day. she is learning how to be on a harness and leash so i can take her outside. she has been an inside cat her whole life. i get off work around 5:30pm and usually will go to the gym for an hour and then head home the rest of the night. i can easily feed, walk, play with, maintain their environment and keep them company. i feel pretty confident with most dogs and like to use proper training to keep everyone safe. i can easily put your dog in a crate with no problem, but i’ll make sure to give them attention and exercise too. being outdoors is my favorite! i also am very comfortable with cats. so my goal is for them to feel safe and loved by me!
“Charlotte was great and I recommend! She was able to fill in last minute and housesit/watch my two pugs over a weekend. She was responsive, helpful and trustworthy. My mind was at ease on my trip knowing that my two pups were in good hands.”
“Leigh did an amazing job house sitting for our 2 dogs! She provided daily updates and photos. She left the house clean and tidy when we returned. Will definitely ask her to come back!”
“It was my first time using Rover and of course I was nervous about leaving my 2 not so little soul mates, Olive & Kipper! After I messaged Hayley she quickly responded and suggested we met in a public park so she could meet them. At first meeting I was blown away by her professionalism and her instant love for my puppachino’s! Whilst away she sent several updates of how they were doing, along with adorable pictures of everyone playing and snuggling! I was able to enjoy my trip away to New England knowing that they were being loved so wonderfully! Upon returning home, Hayley had even gone above and beyond looking after our home as well. My instructions were “as long as my babies are thriving then nothing else matters”, however she had kept the place beautifully tidy (I’m a bit OCD with having a clean home, and I was impressed). I cannot tell you how happy I am knowing that I have someone I trust with my two 70lbs pitbull love bugs! I’d recommend Hayley to anyone and everyone!! She truly is special ?”
“Ivory was a wonderful dog/house sitter for us! She gave us lots of updates and pictures throughout the week and she left our house in great condition. We would love to have her back in the future!”

Ines was an absolute lifesaver for us on our wedding weekend. Our previous longtime pet sitter had to move out of town unexpectedly so we had to scramble to find a new one. Ines was able to help us and also our best friend and neighbor (eva was in our wedding) by watching both of our dogs last minute. She sent multiple daily updates, pic, and videos and the boys were happy and well taken care of. When we arrived home she had left us homemade bread along with the sweetest wedding card and some of the best printed photos of finn and charlie. She was truly a godsend this weekend!
We cannot say enough good things about Hayley’s excellent care of our dog. She clearly has extensive experience with big dogs and our dog liked her instantly. She showed incredible sensitivity to his tendency to be a « Velcro » Doberman. He was obviously happy and comfortable in her care and we had peace of mind in our trip knowing he was in such capable hands. We will contact her first to keep him every time we travel.
Emma house & dog sat for us while we were gone on a weekend trip. She did a great job updating us with pictures and communicated with us quickly. She kept our home in great condition and loved on our dogs as I would love on my own. Will definitely be rebooking! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Avery Creek is $59 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $78 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.
As of November 2026, there are 673 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Avery Creek. 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 Avery Creek 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 Avery Creek 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 Avery Creek 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 Avery Creek. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
