“Cameron is a gem and honestly we’ve never had a sitter care for our old lady like he did. He kept up updated with pictures and constant communication over the weekend with how she was doing. Our dog is elderly and has some sleep issues and he was just so patient and kind with her needs. We truly appreciated him and knew she was in good and safe hands. He’s our go to person now!”
“If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would. I was super stressed about leaving our puppy here while on vacation, and she made it absolutely painless, anxiety free, and more. We received so many pictures and videos and there was constant communication. We came home to a clean house, a happy puppy, and she even helped us with puppyifying our place so she doesn’t get into things she’s not supposed to. Brittney will be our go to from now on.”
“Sierra watched out senior dog at our house while we were away and did a great job. She went out of her way for meet and greets before we left, and sent daily updates and pictures while we were away. The house looked just as we had left it and our dog was happy and well!”
“Alysha was wonderful. She was very attentive to our sweet boy, incredibly responsive, and providing us daily updates and pictures. She spoiled our boy rotten with daily walks and snuggles on the couch. Thank you so much Alysha!”
“Brandon was wonderful house sitting with Maddie. He was friendly and sweet with Maddie. He followed my instructions for Maddie very well and sent plenty of updates with pictures. He was respectful of my home and belongings and responsive to texts. Maddie seemed to be well cared for after spending time with Maddie in my home. I would definitely invite Brandon to house sit or care for Maddie in the future!”
“Hanna was responsive, keeping in touch with me which was much appreciated. She took good care of my elderly dog and even let him sleep with her. The house was clean when we returned. All went well!”
“Cherrie was an excellent sitter for us! She’s good at giving updates and is a great communicator. You can also tell that she spends time with your pets and will treat them like her own. Our pets loved spending time with Cherrie and we will certainly be requesting her in the future!”
About: Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience with caring for both cats and dogs, including senior dogs who require medication, dogs with disabilities, pets with behavioral challenges, and high-energy animals. I understand how each pet has unique qualities and needs, and I am patient, attentive, and committed to providing individualized care. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, following feeding routines, administering medication, or simply providing company, I want every pet to feel happy and secure in my care. I understand the importance of following owner’s instructions and maintaining routine. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing that your pets are in caring, reliable, and responsible hands! I am currently a senior in high school, with school days running from 9am to 12pm. Outside of school, I enjoy staying active outside or in the gym. My shorter school days allow me to maintain a flexible schedule, giving me plenty of opportunities to care for your furry family members and provide them with the love, attention, and care that they deserve! I have experience caring for dogs and cats with unique individual needs, including medication routines, disabilities, and behavioral challenges. I take pride in following instructions carefully, maintaining consistent routines, and respecting each households rules and environment. Whether that means crating dogs when needed, following specific feeding schedules, or accommodating individual behavioral needs, I strive to create a safe, comfortable environment for every pet.
“Ashlee came through, I appreciate all that was done while I was away, I’d recommend her services to anyone. It was nice to take a vacation and not worry about whether or not the pets were being taken care of. Pictures sent, texts answered, overall satisfied. This was my first time using rover so I was a little skeptical but I’m glad I gave it a shot.”
“Charisma was an amazing sitter. She sent photos and videos and kept me up to date. She was very attuned to the dogs’ needs and left my home better than she found it. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Leesa has been fantastic to work with! She was flexible with the schedule, which was so kind of her, and took excellent care of the pups. I appreciated her updates, and found her easy to communicate with. Thanks!!”
“Michael was attentive, communicative, and treated our dogs with care. Our older dog requires daily eye drops, and we appreciate that Michael was able to continue with those while watching them.”
“Nicole was great with our two boys!! Very communicative, asked great questions during our meet-n-greet, and left our place in great shape. One of our boys is pretty anxious when we're not there, especially at night; so knowing Nicole was there to give him lots of loving throughout the night was such a relief. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future :)”

The average cost of House Sitting in Butner is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $67 per night.

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 Butner 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 Butner 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 Butner 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.

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.
