About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have been dog-sitting since I was 13 years old. I also have experience caring for cats, as my boyfriend has a cat that I regularly look after. I’ve always been passionate about animals and truly enjoy providing them with attentive, loving care. I work part-time and am also a full-time student, but I have plenty of availability throughout the day as well as in the evenings. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to work around your pet’s needs and routine! I’m very good at understanding and handling pets’ needs while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I provide attentive care, follow their routines, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and supervision.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 14 and have experience caring for all kinds of furry family members! From dogs over 100 lbs and guinea pigs to senior pets, kittens, and cats requiring daily medication, I’m comfortable adapting to a variety of personalities, ages, and care needs. I believe every pet deserves individualized attention, patience, and love! I work full-time in downtown Boone, Monday–Friday, 8 AM–4 PM. However, I’m happy to offer discounted overnight house sitting so your pets can enjoy more companionship, consistency, and comfort in their own home while you’re away! Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I treat every pet as if they were my own, taking extra care to ensure their environment is safe and free of potential hazards. Whether it’s checking for things they could chew or ingest, supervising outdoor time, securing fenced-in areas, or keeping them safely leashed on walks, I go the extra mile to make sure your furry family stays happy, healthy, and protected!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have cared for four dogs of different ages, breeds, and sizes. I currently have an 8-year-old mutt named Tucker who is incredibly sweet. Tucker previously went through heartworm treatment, so I have experience following medication schedules and giving medication as directed. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, basic grooming, and giving pets plenty of attention. I’ve also owned and cared for parrots, iguanas, lizards, hamsters, and many other animals. I genuinely love animals and will treat every pet like one of my own. I’m currently in college and only have about three hours of class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available throughout most of the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and spending quality time with your pets. My apartment is very pet-friendly and comfortable, with plenty of places for dogs to relax. I even have a couch specifically for dogs, along with a dog bed and other cozy spots throughout the apartment. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me, and I’m happy to follow any routines or special instructions you provide.

“Caitlin took excellent care of our two rough collies! We felt we could never leave them before because the youngest has a seizure disorder and has a routine of medicine at night and in the morning. The oldest is 12 and has had some incontinence issues in the past. They both love Caitlin! The youngest had no problems taking his medicine. They both ate and went on many walks. When we returned, we were welcomed by two very happy collies. We are very thankful for Carlin and will definitely call on her again.”

About: Experienced with puppies, seniors, rescues, and large breeds. I provide patient, attentive care while maintaining routines, medications, training, exercise, and plenty of love and time. My flexible schedule allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day, with time for walks, play, potty breaks, cuddles, and keeping each pet’s routine consistent. I have a fenced in yard. We also really love to walk if that’s your dog’s vibe 😎. I have a 2 year old female husky mix who is always looking for a new friend to play with. She loves dogs of all sizes and ages as long as they love her.

About: I have been caring for my now senior dog since she was a puppy and I was a child. I trained friends and family’s dogs on basic things like sitting and potty training. I worked at a kennel last summer and worked in the play time section, so I’ve learned what to watch out for when a dog is feeling uncomfortable or about to act. I love walking and allowing dogs to explore, I also don’t mind cleaning up after them ! Since starting college at least one of my roommates has always had a cat. I am a cat lover and love kittens or seniors! I’m a full time art student and part time server. I enjoy having a busy schedule and am very flexible! I can help out for as little as a check in or for as long as an afternoon sometimes. I tend to be proximity oriented to avoid missing anything. I’ll stay around them even once we’re done playing as I’ve learn my accident lesson !

“I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Jasmine! She came to watch our very senior, special needs dog as well as 2 cats and 2 feral cats. Every pet has their own complicated care instructions (tons of medications, special diets, schedules, etc.), but Jasmine followed all of our directions perfectly and was so awesome in communicating with us while we were away. We got tons of pictures and videos and it was incredibly reassuring to know all of our animals were receiving the care and affection they needed. Usually our senior dog is very sick after a trip away, so coming home to a healthy and happy boy was a huge win. I think the dog and cats maybe miss her more than they had missed us!”

About: Hey y'all, I'm Tyanna and I'm an animal-friendly, kind-hearted pet lover/advocate who has always had a deep passion for animals. I am empathetic, nurturing, and sensitive to various needs, and I take pride in providing compassionate and attentive care to pets. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, especially while away. I have owned a variety of pets over the years, including snakes, cats, and dogs, which has given me experience with different temperaments, animal species, and care needs. I am also a lover of the outdoors and enjoy hiking, which makes me especially happy to provide dogs with needed exercise! I am a full-time student, and my time is fairly flexible. I'm willing to travel to dog sit and can stay in the pet’s home to help maintain their routine and provide stability while you are away. I am also available for daytime check-ins for pets while owners are at work, as well as dog walking to ensure pets get the exercise and attention they need. Because I am new, my level of clients on the app is currently low; however, I can provide client recommendations as needed! My schedule is fairly flexible, so please contact me for additional details. I like to keep my schedule based on how the owners daily routine is with their pet. I like to keep pets on their normal/consistent schedule and will work closely with the owners to prioritize the needs of their pets. Safety is key for me, so I require a meet and greets prior to finalizing the official reservation. This not only allows me to meet the owners and understand their needs, but it also allows me to get to know the pet and ensure we have a good connection.

FAQs for House Sitting - Blowing Rock

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Blowing Rock is $49 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $49 and $49 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.

As of November 2026, there are 161 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Blowing Rock. 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 Blowing Rock 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 Blowing Rock 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 Blowing Rock 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Blowing Rock. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
