About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I started working professionally with dogs at a boarding and training facility when I was 15. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities, including puppies, seniors, fearful, reactive, anxious, aggressive, and special-needs dogs. I’m comfortable giving medications, providing exercise and enrichment, monitoring health and behavior, and keeping dogs safe and comfortable. I’ve also helped with professional dog training by reinforcing good behaviors and following trainer directed behavior plans. I’m heavily involved in my boyfriend’s work as a professional dog behaviorist, where I regularly help with sensitive, reactive, aggressive, and special-needs dogs. I also have two dogs of my own; a Husky and a Chocolate Lab. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when leaving your pets with someone else. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while in my care. My schedule revolves around the dogs! I have flexible, open availability and accept bookings on a first-come, first-served basis. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs whenever possible, and I’ll always do my best to make sure they get the time, attention, and care they deserve. I treat every pet as an individual and adjust my care to their personality, routine, age, and needs. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of attention. I’m especially comfortable working with dogs who may be nervous, reactive, anxious, senior, or have special needs, and I always prioritize safety and communication. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I also respect your home by keeping things clean, organized, and just as I found them.
“Nicole is fabulous! She sent regular updates of our pups with pictures included. She left our house in pristine condition and our dogs seemed very happy and well cared for.”
“I was looking last minute for someone to stay in my home with my little pooch and kitty. This was a last minute request and Alyssa was able to accommodate us. I was thrilled because my little pup is very anxious and taking her out of her home would not have been good for her. I will definitely be using Alyssa again in the future for our trips when we have to leave the pup and kitty at home.”
“Robert took care of my five creatures over the weekend. He was very reliable, staying until we arrived home for a pass off. He did well with our dog’s big energy and our cats need for a calm presence. I’m convinced the house is as clean if not cleaner than when I left. He was responsive with updates and photos. He was able to give my cats their meds despite their best efforts to avoid or dissuade him. I will absolutely be reaching out to him again, the next time we need someone to stay with our animals.”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. A few years ago I had the opportunity to work with a pet sitting business which allowed me to gain more experience. I am caring, attentive and want the best for your pet. I currently work part- time so I have lots of flexibility in my schedule. I am available on Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. The other days of the week I am available most afternoons and evenings. I will treat your pet with care and respect. Whether a young dog who needs energy and play or a senior that goes at a slower pace, I am there to accommodate accordingly.
“Our dogs seemed comfortable with Brittany from the time they met. We were able to enjoy our trip without worrying about the babies We came home to happy dogs and everything in order We would definitely call her again!”
“Jo-Anne is THE BEST! She was very communicative and took time to send thoughtful updates which I really appreciated. In addition to being such a great caregiver to Darla she left my home in immaculate condition which she did not need to do. I look forward to having Jo-Anne back anytime! You will, too.”
“Craig was outstanding. I would refer him to one and all. This was a very positive experience for me and my fur babies. If I ever have to leave my pets alone at my new home if Florida. I would send Craig an airline ticket to watch them again. Thank you very much.”
“If I could give Nikki more than 5 stars, I would! She took amazing care of Bubbles. Sent a lot of pictures and was easy to communicate with. Nikki went above and beyond taking care of Bubbles, which gave us peace of mind. Nikki is awesome!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a pet owner and animal lover, I understand that our pets are family, and they deserve the same love, attention, and care that we would want for our own. I have spent my adult life around animals of all sizes and personalities and am comfortable providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, feeding, and plenty of affection. As a U.S. Navy Veteran, mom, and professional, I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and attentive to details. Whether you're away for a day or an extended trip, you can feel confident knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, and extended care as needed. Whether you're planning a vacation, working long hours, or simply need someone reliable to check in on your pet, I am happy to work with your schedule and your pet's routine. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to provide dependable, loving care while giving pet parents peace of mind. My goal is to be a trusted resource you can count on whenever you need help caring for your furry family members. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet and your home in someone else's care, and I take that responsibility seriously.

“Ryan was an amazing dog sitter! He was attentive, caring, and kept great communication throughout. My dogs were very comfortable with him, and I felt completely at ease while away. I’d definitely book with him again!”
“Paris is an exceptional pet sitter who is caring, playful with our pups, punctual, polite, and trustworthy. We were lucky to find her during our vacation at Myrtle Beach. She even recommended an awesome restaurant!! Don’t hesitate to book with her, she’s the best!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Tawny! She went above and beyond while caring for my dogs and home. Taking care of multiple large-breed dogs is no small task, but she handled everything with professionalism, patience, and so much love. My dogs were happy, well-cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. Not only did she ensure their routines were followed perfectly—including feeding, exercise, and playtime—but she also took the time to give them the extra attention and affection they need. She kept me updated with messages, pictures, and videos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. On top of caring for my dogs, Tawny also looked after my home as if it were her own. Everything was spotless when I returned, and I could tell she had gone the extra mile to keep things in order. If you’re looking for a responsible, kind, and truly dedicated pet sitter, I wholeheartedly recommend Tawny. She is a gem, and I will absolutely be booking her again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carolina Forest
Cora did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and two cats while we were away. She communicated with us throughout our trip, responded quickly whenever we reached out, and sent photos and updates so we knew how everyone was doing. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and reliable hands. We would absolutely recommend Cora and would be happy to have her care for our pets again!
Emily was WONDERFUL with Maddy and Nyjah. She went the extra mile to give them a lot of love and attention and put me at ease. She followed the directions I left and was so communicative with lots of updates. It was so nice to enjoy my trip knowing my babies were well taken care of.
We have two big (amazing) dogs and we can’t have them boarded because one of them gets bad anxiety and gets sick if he’s not home. Anthony was AMAZING with our dogs. Even though sometimes they can be a little intimidating when new people come to the house he came in and was very calm and patient with them and they ended up having so much fun. I am extremely happy with how their time with Anthony went and we will definitely be asking him to dog-sit again soon.

FAQs for House Sitting - Carolina Forest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Carolina Forest on Rover is $44.4 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 419 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Carolina Forest. 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 Carolina Forest 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 Carolina Forest 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 Carolina Forest 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.

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.
