“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.”
“Our fur babies LOVED hanging with Chelsea for several days. We received daily updates and photos of all pets and plants letting us know that everyone was happy. Chelsea really calmed any nerves we had going into our vacation and really helped us enjoy our time away, and I'm pretty confident the house was cleaner when we returned than how we left it!”
“Avery was a phenomenal house and pet sitter for us! She took care of our dog, and three cats for the weekend, and I'd never had such peace of mind when leaving our fur babies. She gave an update per day, but was willing to give more if asked, and our house was clean and exactly the way we'd left it when we returned. We're definitely booking with Avery again!”
“Meredith is a great sitter! She took perfect care of my two dogs in my home. Great communicator and very respectful of my requests and of the house, which she left very clean. Definitely recommended!”
“Kelly stayed at my house with my cat for 10 nights, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Super proactive in communication, sent pics and updates daily, left the house in great shape (I really couldn't tell anyone had been here!) and was flexible in the end when my travel plans changed due to weather. Oh, and I could tell she genuinely enjoyed hanging out with my cat, which makes it all the better. Hope to be able to hire her for future needs!”
“Salem took great care of our girls! We got regular updates and photos. Noodle and Potato were in great hands and we will definitely be asking her to look after them again.”
“Kim was great with our babies! She is responsible and did everything we asked plus more. Our dog and cat loved her and I know they were very well takin care of. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter.”
About: I've been caring for dogs and other pets for the past 20 years and am a trusted housesitter in Durham, Chapel Hill, and beyond! I've provided extended care and regular housesitting for up to a month at a time in my home or theirs. In my own home, I have a fenced yard and no other pets, providing a great setup for boarding. I love spending time with animals and can't wait to meet your pet, large or small, fosters and rescues! I'm also experienced with birds, rabbits, and other small animals. I'm reliable, organized, and ready to work with you to provide the safest and most enjoyable experience for your pet. I have a flexible work schedule and love hanging with pets during the work day, whether staying in your home with your pet, boarding them in my home with a fenced yard, or providing drop-in care and walks. I can provide bathroom breaks every 4-6 hours most days. I'm a trusted housesitter for several local families, providing extended care in their homes for up to a month at a time over the past few years. In my own home, I have a fenced yard and no other pets. I do have a variety of indoor plants, so dogs that chew on plants may not be a good fit safety-wise.
“Hayley was communicative, attentive, and friendly! I already have her lined up for another trip we are taking, and I know she will take great care of Hermione, because she did a great job! My husband said Hermione might like her more than us!”
“Nick was an incredible sitter! I was nervous, as this was my first time leaving my dog with someone who wasn't a friend or family, and Nick did a wonderful job keeping in communication with me about how things were going. He also went above and beyond to keep my dog on her regular schedule, which made the transition seamless.”
“Brooke did a great job! I could tell my two dogs were happy with her. Sent plenty of photos and videos, followed my instructions, and even vacuumed their hair at the end!”
“Megan was excellent caring for our senior dogs. Her communication was also 5 star. This was my first time using Rover and not a friend to care for our pets. She was very intuitive with their needs as older dogs and. adjusted accordingly. Thank you for taking such good care of them both. I would recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter. I hope to book her again; We had her stay at the house and she was very responsible and even wheeled the trash out for pick up day. Exceeded my expectations as a house/pet sitter”
“Jake was a great dog sitter for our pup! He kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout his stay, asked appropriate clarifying questions, and handled our dogs quirks with ease. Our house looked great when we got back. Thank you!”
“Alexandra was excellent- I could tell when she came over to meet us and the pets she would be very attentive and caring with our animals. She sent lots of pics and updates, and treated our house with care!”
“Mardi did an incredible job taking care of our cats and home while we were away for a week! She followed our instructions perfectly, sent regular updates and photos, and left our house in even better condition than when she arrived. I’m usually a little anxious about leaving the cats when we travel, but I was able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing everything was safe in her hands. I will absolutely book her again the next time we need a cat sitter!”
“Erin was really wonderful with our two pups! Erin sent lots of wonderful photos, kept me up-to-date on their schedule, etc. We came home to two happy dogs and would definitely book Erin again.”
“Kay is the first professional sitter I’ve entrusted my home & furry family to, and I couldn’t be happier I booked with her! From our first meet & greet to our last messages before I got home, Kay was professional, transparent, compassionate, and kind. My seniors have changing needs and lots of peculiarities, which Kay took in stride and with compassion—just how I’d like someone to care for our elders. All the 5-star reviews made me book, but experiencing her gravity, steadiness, authenticity, and attentiveness will make me rebook! Thank you, Kay!”
“Sia is fantastic! She is a repeat sitter for my pup and I will call her again! She stayed with Z when I had a family commitment and Z got a GI bug and needed to go to the emergency vet. Unfortunately for Sia, Z was up all night, but Sia got her to the vet, stayed in close touch with me about the tests, medication and follow up, and my dog was in excellent hands. THANK YOU, SIA!”

Sia was amazing! By far the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had. She went above and beyond to take care of our pup and our home for a week. She was very communicative and easy to chat with. With Sia, we knew we were leaving our home in good hands. Thank you, Sia!
Wonderful service. We used her before and were impressed with the quality of her care for our two small doggies. She kept us updated with pictures, the house was spotless when we returned, and the dogs were well taken care of. This is the same as last time she dog sat our two dogs. We were impressed that the two dogs recognized her when she first arrived and were excited to see her. We will always try to get her services first.
Carmack is a mature and very competent pet sitter. He was great with my very shy mini dachshund, Daisy. We had 2 meet and greats to help her overcome her anxiety. Carmack knew what to do to calm her. He was incredibly patient with her. He’s very knowledgeable and confident with dogs. He took very good care of our place and left it cleaner than it was when we left. I highly recommend him.
Our fur babies LOVED hanging with Chelsea for several days. We received daily updates and photos of all pets and plants letting us know that everyone was happy. Chelsea really calmed any nerves we had going into our vacation and really helped us enjoy our time away, and I'm pretty confident the house was cleaner when we returned than how we left it!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Braggtown 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 2,903 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Braggtown. 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 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 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 Braggtown. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
