“Erin was amazing! We were out of state for a wedding the weekend of July 4th and Erin took great care of our two dogs, dealing with 2 nights of fireworks and very scared pups. She kept us updated on how they were doing and sent us pics. We appreciate her ensuring the safety and well being of our dogs and managing their anxiety during all the noise. Thank you Erin!”
“My pups have had the absolute pleasure of having Emily sit for them a few times now and they just love her! She is so good with communication and always puts your pets needs first. Can’t say enough good things :)”
“We just moved to St James and I was a little nervous about finding a new cat sitter. Olivia put me at ease right away, and did a terrific job with our kitty. She even brought him a new toy. I receive photos and updates twice a day. On top of that, she was wonderful with watering plants, taking out garbage, bringing in the mail and keeping an eye on our home. I will definitely be rebooking her”
“I reached out to Kelly on short notice not expecting to have found the best dog and house sitter in the area. During her 4 day stay, I received so many updates and pictures about my fur baby and was so happy to know she was being very well cared for. 10/10 recommend Kelly for your furbabies needs. Kelly is so sweet and trustworthy, she is genuinely a kind hearted person whose love for my puppy did not go unnoticed.”
“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! 💜”
“Brooklyn was excellent with our pups and bird. She was attentive to their needs and provided daily updates and pictures. She accommodated our early return for an emergency. Would not hesitate to use her again. Thank you”
About: Over the years I've had experience with all stages and ages of pets, especially dogs, but also including horses, chickens, fish, guinea pigs, bunnies, cats etc. I've raised and cared for my own pets from puppies to elder dogs, special needs to the most energetic (or anxious). I've taken in some willful and anxious fur babies that have thrived and became amazing loyal, obedient and loving companions. I have also been blessed with 4 amazing grown kiddos that have pets of their own and I get to care for them often and its the best!! Most of my/my families pets have been rescues but we've also had/have several pure bred Animals (Long-haired German Shepherd, Newfoundland, Maltese, Blue Pittie). I like to make sure the fur babies get lots of love and exercise, but its also okay if your pet is a bit more stand-offish. I truly appreciate when pet parents leave information about routine, pets personality and preferences and will follow instructions meticulously. Special needs, medications, puppy care, etc are also welcome (of course!!). Feel free to ask any questions...look forward to chatting and meeting you/your fur babies. I am an empty-nested Mom and Mimi with my kids' families being spread around CO, NC, TN, GA, STX so I travel to see kids/grandkids/family...a lot...and I love it. This gives me the flexibility to do house sitting/pet care around those visits (in some cases, I've done sits near my kids as well and check both boxes, pet care and visits with the fam). I'm looking to pet/house sit almost full-time around family visits. I'm also VERY open to traveling to pet sits outside my home base area, overseas as well. I lost my little Maltese "Smiles" a few years ago and have poured my snuggles into my kid's 6 dogs. With my travel schedule its hasn't felt like the right time to add a new pet to my personal life so getting to love on my families' pets and those that I sit for really helps fill that void. I only care for pets in your/their home. I am primarily looking for overnight sits, but will also be available for walks and drop-in care.
“Kelsey was incredible! Followed up with pictures and constant communication. Winston was so incredibly happy! She also left our home spotless! Would absolutely recommend working with her again! Winston felt so at home!”
“I feel so happy to have found Melina! We had a great meet and greet, and now after returning from our trip I can say with confidence our pup has never been so pampered. Usually we can tell he was anxious to have us home, but after a week we came home to a relaxed and happy pup. I won’t hesitate to call on Melina again and again!”
“Highly highly recommended! Melanye went above and beyond and is by far the best sitter I have found in this app! She took extra care of my pup who needed to go to the vet and made sure she never felt alone. I received daily updates and photos. Melanye is very kind and caring and my dog trusted her immediately. Thank you so much Melanye!”
About: Hi! I’m Trinity, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to adult/senior dogs, as well as a variety of breeds and sizes. Whether your dog loves walks, playtime, or relaxing, I’m committed to providing attentive and reliable care that fits your pets needs. For the past six years, my family has had a German Shepherd–Belgian Malinois mix, and caring for him has taught me so much about patience and consistency when caring for dogs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog I care for like they're my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe and happy while giving you peace of mind when you're away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work remotely, giving me the flexibility to provide individualized care and adapt to each pet's needs. My flexible schedule also allows me to accommodate overnight stays and drop-in visits, so I can provide care to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible. I believe the best pet care starts with consistency, so I make it a priority to follow each owner's routine as closely as possible. Whether I'm caring for pets in a client's home or doing drop-in visits, I ensure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention. Communication is also important to me, so I provide regular updates to give owners peace of mind while they're away. My goal is to create a comfortable and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. I grew up in a homeschooled household with a dog and three cats, so being hands-on with pet care was just part of everyday life. As a kid, I was known around my neighborhood for walking dogs, pet sitting, and helping out wherever I could—even mowing lawns for neighbors—so responsibility and reliability were instilled in me early on. I also spent time working on an alpaca farm, which gave me experience caring for animals with different needs and personalities. In my adult life, I regularly help care for my sister’s three dogs, and since she’s a veterinarian, I’ve learned a lot about animal behavior, health, and proper care through her. I’m also very involved with my two nephews, so patience and attentiveness come naturally to me. One of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had was caring for our family dog, Toby, in his later years. As the youngest, it became my responsibility to make sure he was comfortable, safe, and well cared for as he aged. He lived to be 16, and that experience taught me a lot about compassion, consistency, and the importance of attentive care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I already structure my days around being consistent, active, and attentive. I’m used to building my schedule around responsibilities, so walks, feeding times, and check-ins feel like a natural part of my day rather than something extra. On a weekly basis, I regularly help care for my sister’s dogs, so I’m already in the rhythm of walking, feeding, and spending quality time with pets. I also keep a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they need without rushing. Overall, I enjoy having pet care as part of my routine—it keeps me active, present, and doing something I genuinely enjoy. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions carefully—feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences—so your pet feels safe and stress-free in their own environment. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship, not just the basics. If I’m caring for a pet in my home, I provide a clean, calm, and safe environment where they can relax. I keep a consistent schedule for feeding, walks, and bathroom breaks, and I’m always attentive to their behavior and needs. I make sure they feel included and comfortable, whether that means active play or just relaxing nearby. No matter the setting, my priority is making sure each pet feels secure, cared for, and happy while you’re away.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I currently am a part time student, I got out the navy a year ago. So I am taking time to myself after all those years in the service and so I have a very flexible schedule. I will follow all rules or accommodations for the pets especially in there home. I will always provide a safe experience and keep the dogs a number one priority
About: I am extremely patient with all animals and love spending time with them. I am passionate about animals and their care. I love every pet like it is my own. I am free to care for pets any day throughout the day. I am a college graduate who recently moved home and have plenty of time throughout the day to take care of pets. For overnight sitting any days works best for me! I am a lover of animals and give them all of my attention and care. I have some practice in training dogs (sit, wait, shake). I will make sure your pet is well fed, happy, and not let them go lonely!
About: Hi! I recently moved to the Leland area! I mostly work from home, but may have to go into the office on occasion. I generally am pretty flexible and can take same-day bookings depending on my work schedule, meetings, or if far travel is necessary. I am an absolute animal lover. I have had dogs since I was a child. Recently, my childhood pet passed. I am looking to fill the pet void as I decide if I want to pursue getting a puppy. I’m happy to come to your place or could bring your baby to mine (depending on size, behavior, and energy level). I have currently closed my boarding availability. I am in a new house and debating the risk I want to take with unknown dogs. If that is something you really want to consider, please feel free to message me. We can discuss that further! I love to be outside, enjoy the weather, and go on walks! Add in a great pup and getting paid, what more could you ask for? I tried to treat each pet as if they were my own. I am very loving and will happily sit on the couch, watch a movie, and cuddle up with your pet!
“Cailin was the perfect sitter for our puppy, Wrinkles. She sent numerous photo updates throughout the day & was a great communicator. She treated Wrinkles as though she was her own. We will continue to use Cailin & would recommend her to any other pet parent!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Boiling Spring Lakes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Boiling Spring Lakes on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 775 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Boiling Spring Lakes. 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 Boiling Spring Lakes 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 Boiling Spring Lakes 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 Boiling Spring Lakes 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.
