“Taylor was WONDERFUL with our pup, Bowie, a one year old that we are rehabilitating. This is the first time we’ve left Bowie. Taylor had to cope with her panic and they spent a lot of cozy time together this past weekend. We are grateful for Taylor’s calm presence and her ability to go with what Bowie needed. We can’t recommend Taylor highly enough! Thanks!!🐾”
“This is the third time we’ve booked Connor to look after our 3 cats and our house. Once again, she did an excellent job! The kitties were happy and calm when we returned, and our house was in nice shape. Thanks, Connor!”
“It seemed like Willy had a great time with Christina! I loved getting photo updates of him and what he was up to. Willy is usually nervous around strangers/new people but it seems like he warmed up immediately to Christina! She stayed in our house and kept it clean and took in our packages for us without us having to ask. So thankful for her help in watching him and we will definitely be re-booking with Christina!”
“Amber was great--she obviously loves animals and I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. They took to her immediately also. All went well while we were gone and I came home to happy dogs.”
“Nicole stepped in and was able to help us out with a last minute sit for our cat and dog. They loved having her stay with them and were well taken care of. We came home to a spotless home and happy pets! We would definitely use Nicole again!”
“Alphine took such incredible care of our dog, Luna, and our cat, Dullahan! She was clearly comfortable with larger dogs and even went above and beyond to walk Luna despite our complicated requests around her leash reactivity. It was easy to communicate with Alphine throughout our trip and we felt confident our pets were in good hands because of it. Alphine also took incredible care of our home. We can’t recommend her enough!!”
“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of over 10 cats and dogs, including animals with special care needs. I love watching and taking care of such kind amazing critters and would love to continue doing so by helping out and connecting with the members of my community. I work in the afternoons on weekdays from 2-8pm. When I keep animals I always make sure to prioritize their care before my social engagements or any errands that I may need to run. I love taking dogs on long walks and petting and giving love and attention to all animals. It’s important for me to devote my time and energy to taking care of the animals in my care so no matter what they get a lot of my attention. I also am a very clean person and clean after myself and the animals when staying in someone’s home.
“Thea took exceptional care of our Doberman, Clyde, while we were away for a long weekend. She kept us updated throughout our trip with multiple daily messages, along with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. We recently moved and haven't fully unpacked yet, and Thea even went out of her way to buy Clyde some new toys. We truly appreciated her thoughtfulness and the excellent care she provided. We would happily trust her with Clyde again!”
“Korra and I are very lucky to have Tram house sit! Korra had a wonderful time with Tram. I am anxious when it comes to boarding my dog and normally only have trusted family members or friends dog sit but I was very much at ease with Tram’s ability to connect with my dog so quickly. 11/10 would book again 👍🏼”
“Savanna stayed in our house for 10 days and took excellent care of Gemma! She followed our instructions perfectly and made sure that Gemma got all of the walks, care, and attention that she needed. We would definitely use her again and appreciate how well she looked after our furry baby!”
“Emi was the best dog sitter we’ve used on Rover! Our dog is a rescue with separation anxiety and we had just moved two weeks prior to our travel plans, so I was nervous about finding someone to stay with Buddy, but Emi was so reassuring, communicative, and sent lots of great pictures and videos. I even came home to a sweet handwritten note welcoming us home and recapping her stay. I have no doubt that our dog was in good hands and great company and I cannot recommend Emi’s services enough. It truly makes a difference when you can travel knowing that your pet is being loved on and well cared for. We will certainly be repeat customers!”
“Emily was great! She stayed at my place with my old dog and took excellent care of her. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, good communication, and reliable. She was respectful of my things and tidy. Would highly recommend!”
About: Hi, I'm Olu. I’m an active, dependable pet sitter who loves keeping pets happy, exercised, and engaged. From long walks and outdoor adventures to playtime and cuddles, I make sure every pet gets both physical activity and emotional care. I’ve spent the past year or two pet-sitting for family and friends, and I’m now excited to expand and grow as a pet caregiver. I work in Chapel Hill and have flexible evening and weekend availability, making it easy for me to fit into your pet’s routine. I currently work as a barista in Chapel Hill and have flexible availability, especially in the evenings and on weekends. I’m able to accommodate drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays, and I plan my schedule around giving pets consistent attention, care, and companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well-supervised at all times, whether we’re at home or out for a walk. I love staying active with pets through walks, runs, playtime, and park visits. I also have my own car, so I’m able to help with vet or grooming appointments if needed and approved by the owner.

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.
“Kaitlyn was amazing! First of all, our dog was unusually relaxed and happy when we got home, so that was great. On the 2nd day we were gone the lock stopped working, and Kaitlyn was totally calm, positive and flexible while the landlord was getting it fixed, taking our dog with her on her errands, just going with the flow. Finally, she left the house very clean! She was a total champ and we’re already looking forward to hiring her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Calvander
Kylie was so sweet and left a very happy dog after her stay! She even fed our neighbor’s cat who roams around and loves to hang out on our porch. She showed up on time, was kind enough to offer and do a meet and greet even though it was a last minute booking, And kept us updated with pictures. We would book her again without hesitation!
Taylor was absolutely wonderful with our pup! Her communication was excellent throughout the entire stay, and I loved getting the regular photo updates she sent. She went completely above and beyond when I had a mix-up with the ending time; Taylor was incredibly accommodating, came back to the house and stayed the entire day to ensure our dog was cared for. We couldn't ask for a more reliable, caring, and flexible sitter. I highly recommend Taylor and will definitely request her again!
This was my first time leaving my senior dog at home while I was out of town and it was amazing. Olivia is responsible and caring, and I hope that she is available the next time I need care because I would ask her to care for my dog again before looking for any other option. Thank you Olivia!
Sophia was excellent! From the initial contact and meet & greet, through the end of our trip, Sophia delivered a wonderful level of customer service that is so rare these days! Sophia bonded so well with our dog, Roxy, and took excellent care of her and our home. Absolutely amazing!
Cassie was absolutely great! Our dog liked her right from the meet and greet. She was communicative, professional, and caring towards our boy and made us feel very comfortable leaving him to her care. House was clean and organized just as we had left it when we got back. We definitely plan to reach back out to Cassie in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Calvander is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $57 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.
As of October 2026, there are 2,713 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Calvander. 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 Calvander 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 Calvander 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 Calvander 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.
