“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!”
“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”
“I thought I knew what a 5 star pet sitter was like, but Makayla has set a new standard! Our 2 cats and 2 dogs were WELL taken care of. One of our pitties can have door aggression, but after a meet and greet we found a way for Makayla to safely come and go while we were away. By the end of the trip, the anxious pittie was Makayla’s shadow. We got daily updates and pictures. Makayla knows how to take care of anxious pets AND their anxious pet-parents. We will absolutely be scheduling our next vacation around Makayla’s availability.”
“I have an eight month old puppy who is quite a handful and is still learning a lot. Tabitha was very patient and flexible with me. 10 out of 10 will use again if available and if she actually wants to deal with my pop haha.”
“David did a great job with my pups, especially considering one was sick and needing medications. I really appreciate that he checked in and sent updates at least once a day. I plan to schedule him again.”
“Casey was a great sitter! She was very communicative, and most importantly, our dogs seemed super relaxed when we came home. It was clear she had spent a lot of time with them and made them feel cared for and loved. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I grew up with all sorts of animals at home and raised my own after college. I grew up caring for neighbors pets and use to watch clients dogs during my summer vacation in college. I also volunteered at shelters over the years. I am currently staying with family to help out after a minor surgery. I have a flexible schedule at this time. In the future I may have other jobs come up. I prefer to stay where the animal is most comfortable, their own home. I also offer visits verse overnight stays for clients comfort. My priority is to make sure your precious pet has the proper care while you are away some you can be focused on your trip knowing everything is good at home.
“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.”
“Sara house sat my older dog for 5 days. It was a good experience for me- she communicated well, sent pics, dog was happy, and my house was clean when I returned. I would not hesitate to call on her again for future needs.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was a toddler. I’ve always been a big pet lover and currently have two dogs and three cats of my own. I understand every pet is unique and has their own personalities and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have pet sat for neighbors and friends since I was a teenager! I am easy to work with and very responsible, I’m here for whatever you need! I currently work part time, so I have plenty of extra time on my hands! My schedule is very flexible so I can adjust to your needs! I can watch your pet in their own familiar environment to hopefully keep them from having the fear and anxiety of being in a new home, I’ll try to keep your usual routine! I will show them lots of love while engaging them in whatever playful activities they prefer!
“Chloe did an amazing job with 5+ animals and our home! Her communication was consistent and everyone was happy and settled when we returned home! Will definitely try to get Chloe whenever we can!”
“Grey is an awesome dog sitter, and we will be happy to book him again. He took great care of our 3 dogs and cat, and he left the house in such great shape when he left that it was hard to see that he had even been here! Our animals are crazy about Grey, and it was clear that he spent a lot of active time with them. He sent us lots of pictures and messages while we were away, and we really appreciated that. We can’t recommend him highly enough. Grey is GREAT!”
“Georgia was a life saver with pet care! She responded quickly when I reached out and was able to provide short notice pet care. Very professional to work with and gave so much love and attention to my boys while they were in her care! I could tell from the photos and how they were when I returned that they had a great time and really enjoyed having Georgia as their sitter. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for house sitting services.”
About: I believe all animals deserve respect, love and patience. By providing care in your home, you'll remove the stress that often goes along with placing your dog in a boarding situation. At the same time, your home will be well cared for while you're away. I mention this upfront that I have a small dog (details below) that I bring on my house sits so, if he’s welcome, an advanced meet and greet is recommended. I have been caring for dogs since I was a young girl having had three family dogs at different times in my youth. Since then, I have gained additional experience with different dog breeds and sizes as a dog mom, MSPCA shelter volunteer, pet care business owner, dog walker and playgroup monitor. I currently have a 17lb, neutered male dog, Snowy, who loves big and small dogs. He equally loves to play and chill, taking cues from the dogs around him. I bring him on my housesits and he always gets rave reviews. I’ll look forward to hearing from you and setting up the first of hopefully many house sitting and pet care opportunities. I work remotely so am available mornings, afternoons and evenings and will work around your pet's schedule for in-home care. I'm looking forward to caring for your fur baby! In your home, I respect and abide by your rules and instructions for home care and the care for your fur baby and treat them with the love and respect just like you would.
“WOW!!!! I can't say enough positive things about Lynsey's care of our dogs, cat, fish and house!!! She was wonderfully communicative, flexible, and obviously enjoyed hanging with our critters. We came back to a house cleaner than what we left, and felt so assured for the week that we were gone that our pets and house were well cared for!”
“Susanna was wonderful with our pets. She sent a check in picture each day to keep us up to speed, and when we got back our dogs were calm and clearly had been loved and cared for while we were gone. They didn’t even seem super excited to see us which is a great sign that they had a good time with Susanna. ?”
“Kristen looked after our two dogs and cat over a long holiday weekend. She was reliable, communicative, and very loving to our fury family. She treated our home with respect and exceeded all expectations. We already booked with her again. Thanks, Kristen!”

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!
Constance was so great with our 3 pups! She provided regular updates, and took lots of photos and videos. She was able to handle walking all 3 of them at once, giving medication, and dealing with some reactivity! She was very clean and respectful of our home. Would absolutely use her again in a heartbeat!
Oh I have been looking high and low since moving to Asheville for someone reliable like Madison. She was amazing with our two boxer dogs, one of which is higher anxiety and energy. She was great with communicating and sending pictures. We felt so at ease being away with Madison caring for our two pups.
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! :)
Gabe was wonderful with my dogs! It was my first time using Rover, as well as my first time leaving them alone in the home. Gabe came & did a pre-meeting with me & the pups before the stay which was so nice. While he stayed with my dogs, he was very flexible & communicative, shared pictures of them & left my home in wonderful condition. I would recommend him over & over!

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 Bent 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 Bent 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 Bent 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
