“I cannot say enough how happy I was with Blakey! It was our first time leaving them with someone in our home and my 2 dogs didn’t even act like I had been gone when I came back! I’m pretty sure they were happy being spoiled by Blakey! Will definitely book her in the future!”
“Mason did a great job pet-sitting our dogs! She is very kind and our pups love her! She is reliable, kept the house tidy, and communicated with us very consistently!”
“Kerrie is the absolute best! She is so great with my pups and sent the cutest pictures while watching my fur babies! I would love to have her back- and so would the pups! Thank you! 🤗”
“Frances was Wonderful taking care of my babies while I was on vacation. I was gone for 5 days, and have two dogs….a German Shepherd and a Boxer, and they were well taken care of. I would highly recommend Frances for any of your dog sitting needs and will definitely use her again!”
“Diego was a godsend. He was willing to make two home visits so Patch could get to know him better. Patch was clearly very comfortable with Diego, Diego check in regularly, sent photos, and left my come home cleaner than he found it. Even washed linens and towels. Patch and I have a new friend for sure. I highly recommend Diego. PS Being new to the area I also got some great suggestions for restaurants and coffee houses.”
About: I am Shaylei, I am 25years old, and I love working with animals. I have had many different types of animals like dogs and cats to take care of while I was growing up. I also work at the Noble Dog Lodge so I do have professional dog care experience as well. I like the cuddlers, playful, and lazy doggies. I can also teach your dog a few tricks if you’d like as well. I know how to teach sit, stay, shake, and a couple more! I’ve dealt with harder to work with dogs, and very laid back dogs. I’ve dealt with Chihuahuas and Dobermans so any size works for me. I've also worked with the hyper puppies and the senior dogs that just need patience. Your pet will be in good hands if you decide to choose me as your main provider for your pet care needs. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I do work fulltime at a dog boarding and daycare facility. On my days off, I don't mind continuing to provide excellent care for animals that need some extra love while their parents are away. Weather I stay the whole day or do a drop in visit, I always make sure to give each pet the same care and attention. I know your babies miss you and you miss them while you're away. I want them to feel good about me caring for them. So, weather we play fetch, cuddle, or go on a walk I will always treat your babies with the respect and happiness they deserve.
About: I have been around animals my whole life. I just love being around them. I have a dog of my own that I will do anything for. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm I care for pets as if they are my own children. I love on them with care and support and play with them until they are tired.
“Alex was absolutely wonderful with Milo! She was so reliable, communicative, and took such great care of him while we were away! She sent us updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention. She also took great care of our house and left everything exactly as we left it. She even went above and beyond and stripped the bed she slept in while she was here and put it in the washer for us🥹 she is so sweet! When we got home, Milo was clearly very happy and well taken care of! We felt completely comfortable having Alex stay with him and would love to have her watch him again.”
“Ginger was great. Arrived early and took very good care of my dog. Sent me text pictures during the stay. I could tell that Jazz really liked her. The stay was for just a few hours to allow me to attend a social event, but I was happy to pay, the full overnight charge as Ginger was very professional, very pleasant and indeed very reliable. She would be my first choice in the Highlands/Cashiers NC area when I am traveling there. MKW.”
“Everything went fine. Certainly was great to find her in a late minute jam. She made it very accommodating. Her love for Carmie was genuine! Great experience! ??”
“Johnnie was great. This was my first time having Johnnie keep Rocky, but I’ll definitely use again. She took great care of him and kept me posted on how things were going through messages and photos.”
“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!”
“Jasmine is so sweet and cared for our dogs so well! She gave us regular, detailed updates and sent lots of photos! Will definitely have her back to stay with our pups in the future!”
About: I would love to be considered to watch your fur baby!! I love them like my own, and make sure to take care of them like my own :) I currently do photography for income, so I’m pretty much available whenever I do like to keep weekends open as much as possible, but during the day and maybe a few times during the week evenings, I am available!! I make sure to keep an eye out on your dog 24/7 to make sure they don’t get into something they’re not supposed to and to make sure that they are happy and active or taking a nap!
About: My years of pet care experience range from animal rescue to boarding facilities to volunteer work to doc training and to hospital care so I have a wide range of pet care experience. I work in the animal field, and so it is a daily job for me not to mention taking care of my own personal animals My animals are my children, and I would treat others animals the same way. I believe in being respectful of people’s opinions and the ways that they take care of their animals.
“Kerstin was the best! She stayed with our little Havanese Cody in our home while we vacationed with kids and grandkids on the beach for a week. We could not have found a better person to care for Cody and our home. Kerstin is wonderful; she and Cody bonded right away. She has a way with dogs. I think Cody misses her. Kerstin mirrored our daily activities with Cody and kept to our routines. I would highly recommend Kerstin to care for your small dog in your home. Her daily texts and occasional pictures were comforting. She also had some helpful suggestions for us. I trust her implicitly and! If we need someone to stay with Cody again, Kerstin will be our choice.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 330 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bostic. 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 Bostic 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 Bostic 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 Bostic 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
