“Kiera did a wonderful job housesitting and petsitting Gia and Ferris while we were on a two week trip abroad. She kept them on their schedules and provided lots of pictures and feedback. Highly recommend and we won’t hesitate to hire her for our next trip.”
“Phoebe was absolutely wonderful with Maverick! She gave him so much care and attention, and it was clear he was comfortable and happy the whole time.. even during the storm where he gets super anxious lol. She kept me updated, was reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of when I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, I'd highly recommend her!”
“Vikki was absolutely amazing! This was the first time we've left our animals with someone other than family. I had a sense of peace when I met Vikki right off the bat. She gave regular updates. I could tell the animals were very happy when we got home. I know we will be using her again. Highly recommend.”
“Allen was great! I needed a last minute sitter and Allen was the perfect choice. Great communication and put up with my silly dogs with no complaints. Left my house in great condition. I look forward to having him stay with my beasties again. Thank you so much! 💜”
About: I enjoy taking active dogs for long walks & runs! No issue providing meds & special attention for older fellas/ladies. I have sat for cats for extended stays as well. Happy to do so again! I work remote 3-5 days a week so I can take breaks to walk your dogs or give them a potty break a few times per day, including midday. I currently have no pets at home, however I grew up with 2-3 dogs and a cat for 18 years. I'll love taking your dog for long walks/runs if they need it! I am happy to care for special needs animals or those who require medications at each meal. Just send me your instructions and I'll treat them as you would! I am open to sitting cats, but would consider myself a dog person.
“Alyssa took care of our two pups while we were away and did an outstanding job. She was proactive, going above and beyond to ensure they were happy and well cared for. She kept us informed with regular updates, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dogs were clearly in excellent hands. I highly recommend Alyssa!”
About: I treat every pet as if they’re my own—with love, patience, and genuine care. What truly sets me apart is my reliability and responsibility. You can count on me to show up on time, follow your instructions carefully, and keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m incredibly loving and attentive, always making sure your pets feel secure while you’re away. I also believe communication is key—I’ll keep you updated with detailed messages, photos, and check-ins so you never have to wonder how things are going. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I meet them with calm, compassionate care tailored to their needs. My husband and I are both retired and just moved back to Leland, NC. We both have completely open availability to accommodate any needs or schedule. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your pup company. My schnauzer especially loves to play and is always excited to make a new friend! My husband is also at home—he’s a true animal lover (and a bit of a dog whisperer). Our pups are our kids, and we treat all animals like family. They’re welcome on the furniture, in the bed, and anywhere else that makes them feel safe, loved, and comfortable.
“We absolutely loved Parker! She did an AMAZING job watching our dog while my husband and I went to a friend's wedding this past weekend! I cannot say enough kind words about her- 10/10 recommend!!! She is extremely flexible, responds timely sending lots of photos of your pup, and makes sure they are extremely well cared for while you are away. She even went the extra mile and vacuumed our house (which she absolutely did not have to do but it was so nice coming back with minimal dog hair haha). We will absolutely be using her services again for our future house/dog sitting needs! Thank you Parker!! :)”
About: I have had cats and dogs since I was 3 and I am currently going to school for my Bachelors in Animal Science, therefore I would love to express my love for animals with caring for yours! I am a full time student at NC State but I am graduating in the fall so my schedule is really open right now where I can add pet visits either between classes or after classes. I will ensure that all instructions given to me will be followed completely and if I have an issue regarding the care of the pet(s) I will reach out to the owner immediately.
“Milena stayed with our two big pups and was great. She was very punctual and was great with communicating while we were out of town. She sent multiple updates durning the day and sent tons of pictures. I would definitely recommend and would use her again when needed.”
“Meagan was amazing with our dogs! She took great care of our kiddos and sent tons of pictures, which we loved. We would definitely recommend her for anyone needing someone trustworthy to watch their pets while on vacation!”
“Katie did an excellent job taking care of Lola. I appreciated that she took her out on a few excursions to give her some stimulus outside of walks in the neighborhood. She even cleaned up the house on her last day! I would definitely recommend her for house sitting.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for a while now. I mainly take care of my own pets and I am wanting to get into pet sitting. I have a dog and two cats back home. I promise your pets are in good hands!! I am a student at UNCW in need of a part time job! If we work together I can show you my class schedule - I am very flexible!

About: I’ve spent several summers caring for both cats and dogs as well as having them in my house growing up! I absolutely love giving them the attention they deserve, whether that’s playtime, walks, or cuddle time. As a 20 year old college student, I bring lots of energy, patience, and genuine love for animals. I enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and cared for like they’re part of my own family I currently am a college student with mostly early morning classes, so I am up pretty early. I also am a soccer coach for Wilmington hammer heads which is about 2 hours Monday, Wednesday, Thursday nights. Other than that I am extremely flexible and am never busy for long periods of time! Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, safety and comfort always come first. I make sure pets have a clean, secure space, follow their normal routines, and give them plenty of attention so they feel at ease. My goal is to create an environment where pets are happy, loved, and cared for just like they would be with their family.
About: I always had a dog growing up so I am very familiar with dogs and the care they require. In high school I got my own puppy who I raised and trained by myself. In addition to this I have my own cat so I have experience with both cats and dogs. I’m home for the summer and have full availability! I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I would like to care for each pet exactly as instructed by the client to ensure the pet is comfortable. If allowed by the client, I enjoy taking pets outdoors for walks, exercise, and fresh air whenever appropriate
About: I have grown up with four dogs, I have foster dog experience, and I volunteer at the local humane society. I am good at following directions about pet care and I have some knowledge on basic training techniques. I am a college student with an easy going schedule which makes it easy to spend a lot of time off campus taking dogs for walks, giving them love, and keeping them company. I will follow specific feeding and potty break directions as well as spend ample time giving attention and helping to burn some energy. I have so much love to give these animals!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bells Crossroads
Emma was absolutely incredible with my senior dog! She was so kind to us from the very start. She took him on walks during the day, played with him, and kept him perfectly comfortable during her overnight stays. I loved getting all of the pictures and updates she sent-she was so proactive about texting me if anything came up. She gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely be using Emma again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful, attentive pet sitter!
Emma is a fantastic person to care for your pets and your home. After finding out I needed last minute surgery, I worried about finding the right care for my dogs. Emma flawlessly cared for my two semi-neurotic chihuahuas with love, humor and professionalism while I was gone for multiple nights. I received timely updates, my dogs were happy, their medication schedule was adhered to properly, my home was just as I left it (if not better!), and overall I returned to the feeling that I had worried about my dogs for nothing and everything had worked out in the best way possible. I can’t thank Emma enough for making me and my and pups feel safe and secure that every detail would be handled just as if I was home with them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bells Crossroads is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $46 and $85 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.

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 Bells Crossroads 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 Bells Crossroads 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 Bells Crossroads 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.

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.
