“Our dogs and cats were so happy with Laina. She left our home in great shape after staying with them for 4 nights, and communicated any questions or issues (which were minimal, because our animals are anxious!) quickly and professionally. We will definitely rebook for future petsitting. Thank you, Laina!”
“Neil took great care of our two dogs and pet rabbit while we were out of town. He accommodated us on short notice and made me feel comfortable while I was away. I know our pups received so much attention and cuddles while we were gone. It's also the first time I've gone out of town, and our stubborn senior rabbit didn't venge-pee outside of the litter box after I returned (he has a habit of staring at me while doing this to voice his displeasure). 10 out of 10!”
“If we could give Jeni 10 out of 5 stars we would! She is an incredible sitter, and we know our dog was in the best hands. Great communication and attention to detail! We could tell even from the photos she sent that our dog was having the best time. Thank you Jeni!!!”
“Jamie is an excellent pet and house sitter. She is caring and down to earth, friendly, happy and “gets it.” Left my house sparkling and my animals smiling. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I have been taking care of other people's animals since middle school and just love getting to know your pets! Experience with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, goats, and fish! Willing to take on pets with medical needs! I work 40 hours over 5 days days a week. I am typically away from the house from 9 am - 5 pm or 11 am - 7 pm. Depending on your location, I may be able to pop back to the house on my short lunch break. I am comfortable walking your animals on leashes, pushing them in strollers, using a treadmill, playing with them in the yard, or whatever else is your routine and preference!
“Hannah is always very quick to respond and provides plenty of pupdates. She makes it easy to relax while on trips because we know our dogs and home are well taken care of.”
About: Hello! I’m a nurse pursuing a graduate degree and pet and house sitting on the side. I’ve had cats & dogs my whole life, and have cared for little reptile pets as well! I have experience walking, running and playing with dogs of all sizes and petsitting durations from an overnight to one month at a time with both dogs and cats. No dogs (or cats!) are too big or too small. I enjoy helping pets get outside and active, or doting on them at home. I’m comfortable with puppies and elderly dogs and cats, and can run with your more energetic pups to get their yayas out! My schedule is very flexible and I take pet care seriously - I want you to be worry-free while you’re on vacation or busy at work. I have three fully remote weekdays per week and one half remote day, so plenty of quality time to spend with your pup. I’m available for scheduled weekly walks, one-off check-in’s and walks, as well as for overnight stays and longer pet sitting periods. I’m currently a full-time student with lots of lunch break time and three fully remote days a week to tend to pups & cats! I’m happy to help with short or long at home care while you’re traveling, or to set up a weekly walking (or running) schedule with your dogs. Reach out and we can discuss what works best! I offer pet sitting in your pets’ home spaces, and am happy to adapt to specific needs while at your home. I’m an early-to-bed and early-to-rise person, so I’ll be able to spend plenty of time with your pets and help them get active before I head anywhere for a few hours! I can provide feeding and medication administration, and have experience with pills, creams, dressing changes and insulin injections for pets.
“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.”
“A caring person and obviously very much an animal lover. She provided lots of feedback and pix. I was really pleased she was able to do our steep walking trail and so Toby got good workouts each day. That is not common with pet sitters I’ve had and so much appreciated. I was completely confident that she was providing excellent care while I was gone. Such a relief to feel you don’t have worry about a thing!”
“Sarah took great care of our sweet pup! We felt extremely comfortable knowing Bailey was in good hands. We came home to a happy doggie and our house looked better than when we left. I highly recommend Sarah for your pet sitting needs. We will definitely ask her again.”
“This is the second time I have used Morisa for pet sitting/house sitting - this was for a longer period - almost a week. When we arrived home, the house was suspiciously clean/kitchen untouched…. One would doubt Morisa even stayed except there are pictures of pets to prove it & texts letting me know what each cat is doing! ❤️ Morisa took the time to know each cat’s preferences, sent pics, always communicating & available. She’s great and I will definitely be hoping to use her future is she’s not booked. Thank you, Morisa!!!!! 😻😻😻😻”
“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”
“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!”
“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.”
“Nathan was a wonderful house/dog/cat sitter! would highly recommend to anyone that needs care for their pets while out of town. great communication, and super great with all animals!”
“Adaira was amazing with my dog. I was nervous bc this was his first time with a sitter and he has some quirks. She kept me updated and sent cute pictures. She was so good with him and left my house so clean! I highly recommend.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Biltmore Forest
This was a last minute booking and we are thankful we were able to make reservations. Axios was great with our pups. He communicated often and ensured we were updated on anything new going on with them. He left the house spotless after a week of being there. We will be booking with him again! Thanks!
Josephine (JC) was fantastic. She did really well with our dogs when we had a brief meet and greet. She showed up on time on the day that her booking started. She sent us regular updates via text message and photos. The dogs really clearly liked her. I'm very eager to plan another trip and book her again.
Alex is the only person we trust with our babies! He treats our fur babies like family. We tell them their Uncle Alex is coming for a visit! He takes the best pictures and reassures you your babies are taken care throughout his visit, from food, to play time to pets and love! Alex can cater to all personalities and special needs. Our girl is high anxiety and one of our kitties is very skeptical of strangers.. he made friends with them in no time! Patiently and kindly. We can’t recommend Alex’s services enough!
Erica dog and house sat for 2 weeks. Ghillie (a 10yo bird dog) was relaxed and happy when we returned home. She walked him regularly and kept to his usual routine. He got along great with her pup Rigatoni, which is saying something as he is used to being solo dog in the house and can be wary of other large dogs. House was as clean and tidy when we returned as when we left. She brought in all mail and packages.

FAQs for House Sitting - Biltmore Forest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Biltmore Forest on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 684 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Biltmore Forest. 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 Biltmore Forest 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 Biltmore Forest 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 Biltmore Forest 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 Biltmore Forest. On Rover:
- 95% 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.
