“Alessandria did a great job keeping my dogs safe and happy. I appreciate that she was able to be flexible on times as I wasn't sure with the weather if we were going to make it back on time. The house was left neat and tidy, and she helped prepare for a bad winter storm coming.”
“Allison is everyone's ideal dog sitter. She's responsive, updates you regularly, and clearly loves and takes care of your pet the same way you do. Would highly recommend, and plan to be rebooking her in the future!”
“Excellent pet and house sitter! If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I would! Completely satisfied and look forward to employing this sitter again! Communication was amazing, texted updates once per day on our pet! House care amazing, even offered to water my plants — so appreciated! Our cat could not have been happier or more cared for!”
About: I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments over the past decade. My experience ranges from the two extra small, now senior terriers in my family home to my two young, giant German Shepherds, who weigh a combined 200 pounds. I understand the importance of patience, adaptability, and understanding each dog's individual needs. I'm an empathetic and attentive caregiver who prioritizes safety, trust, and authentic connections with every dog in my care. I want every dog to feel comfortable, secure, and loved. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, and I make time to provide attentive, dependable care. I'm happy to work with your babies established schedule for meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially those who experience separation anxiety or feel nervous around new people. I'll communicate with you about scheduling and your pet's needs to ensure they receive thoughtful, reliable care. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pets. As the owner of two large German Shepherds, I understand the importance of secure handling, awareness, and respecting each dog's individual temperament. I take time to help animals feel comfortable with me and follow their owners' instructions closely. I respect your home, maintain a clean and calm environment, and never assume two pets have the same needs. I'm happy to follow feeding instructions, medication routines as directed, leash and crate preferences, and any other safety precautions you provide. Your fur babies comfort and well being will always come first.
“This is the second time Salem has pet-sat for me. She's very good at communicating and sending updates. She keeps the house nice and tidy and is very trustworthy. My dog seems very happy when Salem's taking care of her.”
“Kay took wonderful care of both our dogs and home! We have two seniors who have lots of medication needs (in addition to just being on the higher-need side) and Kay was really attentive to our wishes. Additionally, she went way above any expectations for a dog sitter in the home- watering plants, sweeping, cleaning up bathrooms and floors, etc. before leaving. She was also very communicative and just an all-around great person. Thanks Kay!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats, from high school to present, when friends and relatives have relied on me to walk dogs and change litter boxes. Now, I love to play with my friends' dogs and go for walks around the neighborhood! I am currently on research time in residency which means more flexibility, working partially from home, and more time to take care of your pets! My schedule varies week to week, and include time working from homes and gaps when I can take pets on walks. I have a fenced in back yard and fairly spacious one bedroom in a walkable neighborhood, centrally located, and perfect for a walk around the block, leisurely long stroll, or multiple night stay! For walks, I also like to go to Eno state park or other nearby trails to tire your pup (and myself) out. For pet sitting in your house, I am organized, respectful, and clean. Your pet will get lots of play time and belly rubs!
“Katrin was absolutely great with Daisy! We felt so much better knowing Daisy was being cared for, and we felt very lucky to have her watching Daisy in our home. Especially with Daisy still being a puppy, we didn’t want to move her around, so having someone stay with her made a huge difference. Katrin was wonderful about sharing updates and videos throughout the stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Daisy loved playing with her and was genuinely sad to see her go. We would highly recommend Katrin to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!”
“Alex did a fantastic job taking care of our two kitties - especially because one of them is elderly and had a health emergency the day before we left. Undaunted, she gave him two kinds of medicine daily and treated both of them with loving kindness. Sent great photos every day. We would not hesitate to trust her with care of our home and pets again in the future.”
“Ana is the BEST! Super responsive and sends photos throughout her stay. The weekend was a breeze knowing our dog was in such great hands. Would absolutely have her sit for us in the future!”
About: All my life, I've had dogs and cats as part of my family. I have a lot of experience with caring for puppies and older dogs and cats as well as feeding, walking, bathing, and playing with other's pets. I'm currently working a part-time job which lets me keep my schedule open and flexible. I'm available mornings and evenings most week days and weekends. Typically, I do my best to keep the pet's routine the same (walking, playing, and feeding times) as well as keeping to special instructions, such as administering medicine or training methods. I'm neat and clean and make sure to keep people's homes tidy with both day visits and overnights. Also, I give people daily updates on their pets while they're away, including photos and daily check-in texts.
“Sarah has watched my dog Stella twice now, and I always know she’s in such good hands. Stella is a bigger dog and has quirks and some reactivity on the leash - Sarah is super professional in handling her, and I love how often she communicates about how Stella is doing. I highly recommend her as a sitter!”
About: Taken care of dogs all of my life including my own and friends/family’s dachshunds, German Shepards, Terriers, Hounds, Poodles, Labradoodles, and even a few Labrador Retrievers! I work remotely and run a few times a week, so I can manage most dog’s activity level well thanks to my flexible work schedule. I’m also experienced with dogs requiring special feeding or medication. My schedule is built around my flexible remote work as a non-profit director writing analysis of legislation. I go for a morning and evening walk that I would love to take your pup on! Alternatively, I am happy to visit your dogs at your home! My large home with a fenced in backyard gives your dog lots of areas to mingle with me or have some quiet time. My activity level is also high, so I can accommodate younger dogs or active dogs.
“Cailin is a wonderful sitter and my animals love her. The pictures she sent showed them to be happy and doing all of the things they would do if I were home with them. I was so happy to have her spend days and nights with them! We will see her again!”
“Lesa took great care of my large-breed puppy and geriatric kitty, she genuinely seemed to love them and they loved her. My house was left in perfect condition. She kept in touch and sent pictures. I would definitely recommend her to take care of your pets.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Braggtown is $50

What can I say about Gianine other than we had the best petsitter in the world-we were in Italy for a month and Gianine was selected by our very sensitive hard to please Havapoo,Pippin.We were meeting her and had 3 interviews lined up-after 30 min.Pippin was cuddled up next to her so we cancelled the other interviews.He made a very wise decision! My pups are usually low maintenance easy pups-NOT this time!My 16 yr old Cavapoo who has little sight, hearing and sometimes cognitive abilities got a UTI-Gianine took her to the vet and dealt with administering meds, changing diapers etc.Truffles was loved and cared for as was Pippin-they were walked 2xday-I had daily updates and Gianine was a Rock Star-I always knew that the pups were in safe hands and being loved.I came home to happy, healthy pups who were so excited we were home but missing their "Aunt Gianine." Look no further-you could not have a better Pet or house sitter-I would never have anyone else although I doubt Gianine would say the same!
Nick stayed with our two dogs and did a fantastic job! One of our dogs is a bit more sensitive and takes our absence a bit harder and he did a terrific job being with her - she looked quite calm and like she was enjoying herself from all the photos! Looking forward to using Nick & Elena again!
I was so excited when Sydney agreed to pet sit my dog! Suki is a nervous dog who takes a while to get used to new people, and Sydney was super patient and respected her boundaries. We got plenty of photo updates while Sydney house sit and felt that Suki was in great hands. Will def book Sydney again!
Julia was amazing! She took great care of my pups, stayed later to feed them dinner when our flight was delayed, and sent pictures throughout her stay! It made us feel at ease leaving our dogs in such good care, I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!!
Karla was so wonderful! Not only did she come for a full run through visit before the sitting date- she took extra care to make sure my puppy was taken care of! She was extremely good at communicating and sent lots of photos and the perfect amount of updates! I would most certainly recommend
My dog Otis loves Gardy! Gardy seems to have a special knack when it comes to knowing and loving animals. Otis immediately felt comfortable around him and is always excited and wiggly when Gardy comes around. Communicating with Gardy has been easy, he’s always on time and takes extraordinary care of Otis. Definitely recommend and will be asking Gardy to watch Otis in the future!
Jesse is awesome! She is caring and conscientious. She provided excellent care to my 2 dogs, one of whom is very elderly, takes lots of meds, and has mobility issues. She provided detailed updates and photos. I wasn’t worried at all. She is responsible and dependable. I’d definitely hire her again!
Alekx takes wonderful care of our home and our two pups, especially going above and beyond when they need medicine administered or are not feeling well and have made an extraordinary mess. We appreciate her attention to detail so much. Very communicative and trustworthy.
Brandon did an amazing job watching our dog, Pancake! We really appreciated all of the photos and updates he sent while we were gone. We can tell our dog had a great time with him and he left our house in perfect shape! I would absolutely recommend him to any other dog owners.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Braggtown is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $80 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.

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 Braggtown 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 Braggtown 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 Braggtown 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.
