“Kristen was the best dog sitter we’ve had! She went above and beyond to care for our sweet boy and watch over our house too. We were able to enjoy our time away and know that he was well cared for. We greatly appreciated it. Will definitely book again!”
“My scaredy cats are not overly friendly upon first meeting, but Claire was patient with them and worked her cat whispering magic to draw them out. They had such a good time with Claire that when we got back, they barely noticed. Claire asked a bunch of questions, and I felt comfortable leaving her in charge of my cats. I appreciated the many pictures she sent to let me know that both cats had been sighted and were being well cared for. Thank you, Claire!! Johann and Misha are already wondering when we’re going to leave again, so you can come back.”
About: I have been a pet "Mom" for many years. I treat each furbaby as one of my own. In addition, I'm a reliable, retired home care provider. My own dog is about 80 lbs, and I can expertly manage small, medium, and large dogs. I monitor pets and look for changes. I have partnered effectively with anyone who needs care for their pet. As long as no other owner has booked me, I am available 5 days a week and have flexibility with scheduling at this time. I will follow your instructions with how you keep your pets and your home, including how you manage your routines with food, potty breaks and walks and any special requests you have for their care. I will care for them as I would my own. For myself, I do enjoy quiet activities, and furbaby snuggles are one of those. My dog is a trained service dog. He is welcomed almost anywhere I go. He gets fed twice a day, treats as earned, and lots of love. I would pass these skills and habits along to your home and your pets.
“Forest was the perfect dog sitter. She took care of our dog and home with love and care and not only brought Keeley out in walks but out on little excursions which we know Keeley loved! We would love to book forest again!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Patrick! He took care of our dog like it was his own & sent many updates. I would highly recommend him to take care of your animals. Looking forward to using his services again!”
“Alex was absolutely amazing! It was our first time leaving our dog who has a lot of quirks and we were super nervous about it, but Alex kept us updated with photos, how he was everyday, and even took him to work with her! I would definitely recommend Alex , and would love to have her watch Teddy in the future:) Thank you!”
About: I provide loving, reliable care for pets of all ages. Whether it's playtime, walks, or cuddles, your pet will feel safe and happy in my care. I work part-time, so I'm available most weekday afternoons and weekends. I do have college classes Mondays & Wednesdays, so unfortunately I am unavailable in the afternoon those days. Pet care easily fits into my routine, allowing flexible, reliable service for your pets. I care for pets in their own homes, providing personalized attention, playtime, and companionship. I’m unable to host pets due to having my own furbabies, but offer reliable, loving care on-site.
About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life. Experience ranges from puppies to elderly dogs. I have raised three dogs on my own and on a weekly basis I go to the humane shelter to walk dogs. My schedule is super flexible- I'm willing to help in any way I can! I am a recent college graduate from Belmont University. Nashville is now by home as I pursue music. Therefore, I will have plenty of time to make sure your furry family member is happy and comfortable! I'm willing to come to you or have your pup stay with me. Dogs are special to me, so I will do my very best to treat them with the same compassion and love that we give to humans.
“I had a wonderful experience with Ally! Ally stayed in my home and watched my nervous chihuahua for 11 days. She responded perfectly to my dog's needs and he clearly became comfortable with her during the stay. She updated me daily with pictures and videos and was very responsive and flexible. 10/10 for sure!”
About: Experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. I spent most of my life living with cats and dogs. I attended many dog training classes when training my reactive rescue. I usually work 8 - 5 ish on weekdays but can be available for walks, feedings, boarding, and lots of love on evenings and weekends! I currently feed and care for my roommate’s cat and rabbit when she is away (and give lots of attention to them when my roommate is home!). I have done the same for previous roommates’ cats and have pet sit for dogs, cats, and hamsters here and there ever since a child. I am happy to continue working on training your dog or providing more mental snd physical stimulation for your pet in your absence!
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nancy! She took such exceptional care of my sweet Piper while I traveled. She was incredibly attentive, sent frequent updates and photos, and most importantly, loved Piper as if she were her own. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Piper was not just being cared for, but genuinely loved. Piper thrives in a quiet, one-on-one environment without other pets, and Nancy’s home and companionship could not have been a more perfect fit. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I am beyond grateful to Nancy for giving Piper so much love and attention, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly special to care for their pup. ❤️”
About: I provide attentive, loving care to animals while their owners are away. My responsibilities include feeding, walking, playtime, administering medication if needed, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I understand how important it is to maintain routines and build trust with each animal, ensuring peace of mind for both pets and their people. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I enjoy early and after work walks, scheduled feedings, and making time each day to give pets the attention they deserve. I am currently a bather and groomer at Petsmart. I care for pets in their home by feeding them at scheduled times, taking dogs on daily walks, cleaning litter boxes or cages, refreshing water bowls, giving medications as directed, and spending quality time playing, grooming, or just keeping them company to ease separation anxiety. I follow all instructions closely to maintain the pet’s usual routine and comfort.
About: I love love love animals! I have my own 2 kitties, Bean and Joseph, as well as my english mastiff, Mr Mudge! I would love to take care of your babies, they will be cared for as if they are my own. I’m starting esthetician school in January, so until then I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I enjoy staying active and keeping busy, so Rover fits really well into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and can be flexible with different schedules and needs. I have cared for my family’s and friends’ cats and dogs my entire life, and I currently have pets of my own. I make sure each animal is properly cared for, safe, comfortable, and given plenty of attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any special needs. I also keep a close eye on pets and their surroundings to make sure they stay safe and happy while in my care.
About: I am a lover of animals who prioritizes their, safety, health & happiness. I have years of experiencing sitting for and walking dogs and taking care of cats. I've worked with dogs with health-related medication needs, including insulin shots, rescues who take a little time to get used to someone new, and excitable puppies. I enjoy my time with animals -- they make me feel peaceful and energized, so, taking care of them is a win-win! I am always careful to follow any instructions provided around details of care -- feeding, walking, preferences around behavior or routine, let me know -- I'm here to help put you at ease while you're away from your pet. I work full-time during on weekdays in Boston starting in the afternoons, so while I am available weekday mornings, it would be more for jobs before 10am to leave time for my commute. Weekends I usually have a lot of flexibility & I'll do my best to get back to you quickly.
“Grace was fantastic! She was warm, bubbly, and instantly connected with our dogs—they were snuggling with her before we even left the garage. She was incredibly flexible and kept us updated with pictures throughout the stay. She gave us so much peace of mind, especially with our 14-year-old senior dog. We’d love to have her back anytime!”
“Chloe was fantastic! She was very friendly, calm, and loving to our cavapoo Sammy. Sammy was well cared for and was happy when we returned. She posted many photos and videos and checked in with us. We will definitely use Chloe again to watch our dog. Highly recommend!”

From our initial meet and greet it’s apparent that Kristen adores dogs of all kinds. Lily was swooned by her warm loving presence and I felt assured she’d be well taken care of. She’s patient, caring and goes above and beyond to care for Lily. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced dog handler and sitter. Thank you so very much Kristen.

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 Bald Head 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 Bald Head 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Bald Head 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!

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 .
