“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Stacy! She stayed in our home for five nights with our two doodles, and from the moment she arrived, we felt completely at ease. Stacy is warm, friendly, and clearly has a special way with animals—our boys absolutely adored her. She followed all of our care instructions to a T, left our home spotless, and even stayed late to make sure our flight had landed and we made it home safely to them that night. That extra thoughtfulness meant the world to us. We truly can’t recommend Stacy enough for your pet sitting needs. She’s a gem!”
“Levon was amazing - one of our dogs is very territorial/aggressive and struggled with others coming into our house. He got acclimated to Levon after just a few walks and Levon stayed at our place for 4 nights while we were out of the country - by the second day he was cuddling up with him. He left our place perfectly clean and gave us regular updates so we weren’t worried at all after the first day. Highly recommend!!!’”
“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!”
“We have had a wonderful experience with Giuliana! She was patient, understanding, and did an amazing job caring for our dog, who has some behavioral challenges. We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to working with her again!”
“Laura took incredible care of our dog and our home. She sent updates and photos and our dog was very happy and our house was in perfect shape when we returned home. Would absolutely recommend and will book again - thank you, Laura!”
“Natasha was great! Sent lots of photo updates and asked any clarifying questions if anything with our dog Townsend popped up. We are grateful for their patience with Townsend, and for their great care of him!”
“Chloe did an exceptional job watching our Dane. He was dealing with an injury and needed extra attention, a cone and medication and Chloe met all of his needs. This was our first time using Rover and being able to travel with peace of mind that our boy was at home made our trip so much more enjoyable. We came home to a very happy boy and a clean house. We will for sure be using Chloe on future trips and recommend her to any of our friends that have pets.”
“Michael took great care of our dog and cat for several days. He was very prompt with responding to messages. He also left our place neat and tidy. I would ask for him to sit again.”
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life and taken care of them since I was 10. I love all kinds of dogs and would love to work with any kind that is friendly. I currently dogsit for a lovely German shepherd with many allergies. I give him medication as needed and wipe his paws after potty time. I currently go to college M-F with Tuesdays and Thursdays being my longest day. If you need to schedule anything on those days please message me and we may work out a schedule. I do not offer service in my own home due to my own animals, but I would be willing to offer sitting business on the days I am available in the owners home. I care for the animals any way that the owner requests, such as light grooming, walking, playing, and feeding.
“Denise did a great job house sitting and looking after all three doggies. This included my special needs dog Izzy and the rambunctious Riley. She is so easy to work and has our best recommendation.”
“Alayna was wonderful! My dog is high energy and playful and Alayna assured me through text all the exercise he was getting. She was incredibly communicative throughout and gave us a summary of her stay at the end, including housekeeping updates. I will absolutely be seeking her services for future travel!”
“Megan did a phenomenal job taking care of Kyla while we were out of the country. My other sitter cancelled last minute due to an injury to her leg 2 days before leaving. Megan stepped up last minute and gave Kyla the extra attention and love that she needed. We felt completely comfortable while away thanks to the updates about her condition, plethora of pictures, and prompt replies! She even went to the vet to pick up additional meds and provided an update about the vets suggestions. We could not have been more comfortable, appreciative, and overall overjoyed with how well she took care of Kyla. We will absolutely be requesting her services again any time we cannot bring Kyla along!! Thanks for an incredible job!! Also, she took exceptional care of the house while we were away, going above and beyond as if it were her own. We cannot thank you enough!”
“Susan was awesome! She went the extra mile to care and communicate with us before and during her visit with our dogs. Our puppy can be a lot to handle sometimes, but Susan showed her love and care and made sure all her needs were taken care of. They loved her!”
“It's so great to be able to leave my pups and know that they're going to be in good hands while I'm gone! Sara shone at text communication and I felt secure with her in my house. Thanks Sara!”
“James is a joy. He took great care of the dogs and our home. We came home to a clean and tidy home. He took care of everything we had asked him to do and would highly recommend him again”
“Sarah did an amazing job house sitting and caring for our 4 dogs. She kept constant communication and sent daily pics which eased our minds and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation. She went above and beyond what was asked of her and even added to our pups training! We will be booking again when we decide to travel next.”
“Juliann was a pleasure to work with. Our dog is just a 4-month-old puppy, and this is her first time with a dog sitter. She sent us many photos and updates, and we returned to a happy dog. Thanks, Juliann we plan to use you again.”
About: I grew up caring for my neighbors’ dogs whenever they were out of town, and I have continued to build hands-on experience with dogs throughout my adult life. Over the past ten years, I have cared for two high-energy pit bulls, which has strengthened my confidence handling active, strong, and playful dogs. I am friendly and comfortable with dogs of all types, and I consider myself a reliable and attentive dog walker. As an Eagle Scout, I value responsibility, trust, and treating both people and animals with respect. I have also trained my current dog, Bowie, through Kabler Dog School, and I strive to follow their best practices when caring for my own dog and any pets I work with. I am currently returning to school, which gives me a flexible weekday schedule for pet care. I have always enjoyed working with dogs and pride myself on maintaining an active lifestyle, making me a great fit for walks, playtime, and attentive care. I am available Monday through Friday for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in activity visits. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their safety, comfort, and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I respect each client’s home, routines, and boundaries, and I make sure to follow any specific instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and rest. I take time to create a calm, secure environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care that gives both pets and their owners confidence and peace of mind.
“Caitlin was wonderful. She was on time for a meet and greet, and after going over everything, we booked her for a vacation coming up. At the last minute, we needed Caitlin to spend the evening with Luna because our dog was adjusting to losing her companion and changing locations, and we were going out with friends all day and then again all evening. Luna was very chill when we got home late. I look forward to a stress-free vacation knowing that Luna is in good hands with Caitlin.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Avery Creek is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Avery Creek
Hayley was a 100/10 caregiver for my anxious dog! This was my first time using Rover for dog/housesitting care after my dog had a negative boarding experience. She was so loving and caring while I traveled across the country for work! She checked in multiple times a day with the cutest pictures! Hayley has fantastic communication, and made me and my sweet dog feel completely at ease! She went above and beyond by running the dishwasher, stripping the sheets/ having the laundry ready to go her last day. My dog absolutely loves her, and so do I! We will 100% book her for house/dog sitting again!
Laina was an excellent caretaker for Cooper. Cooper has lots of anxiety and needs lots of patience which Laina was able to provide.

Thank you so much Laina!
Our cat Thora loved and really bonded with Jane! Jane sent me pictures and updates that were very sweet and reassuring because she knew we were far away and a bit stressed about leaving her. She was very respectful of our home and left things neat and tidy. We’d definitely hire her again to stay with our furbaby 😊
We LOVE Juliann. This is our second time booking her for a two week trip and we are so happy we found her. She takes such great care of our pets, house and garden. We are able to go on vacation and relax because we don’t have to worry about what’s happening at home. She sends us daily pics and texts with our pet shenanigans. The best part is that she is staying at our house, so we know they’re safe. We won’t use anyone else moving forward. ❤️❤️❤️

FAQs for House Sitting - Avery Creek
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Avery Creek 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 682 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 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 Avery Creek. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
