“Jeadyce was wonderful taking care of our two babies. Jeadyce kept us abreast of all duties related to their care and beyond. Based on our constant communication and pictures she sent through, including how we found our home impeccable, we won't hesitate to arrange for Jeadyce to take her care of them again.”
“Miles is an amazing and reliable dog and housesitter. She was in touch with pictures and updates, and left everything in order and clean, with a nice note! We couldn't ask for more!”
About: I’ve always been a huge dog lover! Growing up around dogs and having two of my own has given me plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve also volunteered at local animal shelters and the Humane Society, where I gained additional experience caring for animals and helping them feel safe and loved. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping up with daily routines. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing outside, or just cuddling on the couch, I’m happy to give them the attention they deserve! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll always treat your dog with the same love and care I give my own! Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine since I have pets of my own! I enjoy spending time with animals and have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they receive the care they need! I offer pet care in the comfort of your own home, where your furry friends can feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment! I understand how important it is to maintain their normal routine, so I’ll follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, playtime, and other care needs. I’ll always treat your pets and home with respect and make sure your furry family members receive plenty of love and attention while you’re away!
“C was the BEST! He came for a meet and greet and we immediately felt comfortable that our pets would be in good hands. He was extremely communicative beforehand and then each day he sent photos and updates, but did not spam us while we were on vacation. He was also extremely detail oriented- when the written instructions I left different from what was noted on a medication bottle, he checked before following one or the other. He was also extremely clean and tidy- he left the house in better shape than he found it and even remade the bed with fresh sheets so it would be one less thing when we got back!”
“Elizabeth is very communicative and will send you frequent updates and photos to keep you updated on your pets. During her time with my dogs, she had to deal with one doggo who wasn’t feeling well and as a result, he made a big mess and then with our fire alarm going off non-stop due to a lack of batteries… ooof. She handled both situations well, cleaning up after the dog, even replacing our fire alarm batteries, and keeping me updated on everything. She is very responsible and takes good care of the doggos!”
“Alina is amazing!! I would love to hire her for all our needs!! She treated our baby with love and gave him so much attention! Kept us updated with pictures! Highly recommend her!!!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my household for as long as I can remember. Friends and family have trusted me to check in on and care for the pets for years now and I always love getting to know the inside personalities of your furry friends! I’m currently living with my parents while I’m on break from college and working a few odd jobs here and there to make extra money, so I have a very adjustable schedule that allows for plenty of time to care for your pets! I have a fenced in back yard and a pretty spacious house. I do have a dog who loves other dogs so they can certainly play together if applicable. My two cats would largely just ignore/avoid animals they aren’t familiar with. In your home I can adjust to whatever your pet’s individual needs are.
“I feel I have discovered a hidden gem! Nia is wonderful. We did a meet and greet before Jaxon’s stay and my dog felt at home the moment he walked in the door. Nia and her husband are kind and friendly. I was hesitant at first not knowing how Jaxon would do with her dog, but Kevin must have been a generous host too - even let Jaxon borrow his bed 😉. Communication was great and I received many pics of Jaxon enjoying himself. Will definitely use again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 8 years and currently have two of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, attention, and lots of love while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and affection I give my own! I currently have clinicals during the week, but I’m typically available after 5 PM. I have more flexibility on weekends and love spending my free time caring for, walking, and giving pups plenty of attention and love. I care for every dog with the same love and attention I give my own. I have two crate-trained dogs, and I’m happy to keep them separate if that makes your pup more comfortable. I can also crate your dog if that’s part of their normal routine and you prefer it.
About: I have four years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I'm experienced with feeding, bathing, daily grooming, administering medications, training commands, playtime, and of course, walks! I'm patient and attentive to each dog's individual personality and needs. I'd also be happy to help with light housekeeping while caring for your pet. My schedule is very flexible, so I'm available for pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends! My only regular commitments are class from 12-1:30 p.m. on Mondays and Tuesdays and church from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Sundays. Outside of those times, I have plenty of availability to give your pets the time, attention, and care they need. I provide pet care in your home, where your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I'm happy to follow any specific instructions you provide for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and other daily care. I'll always be respectful of your home and attentive to your pet's individuals needs, safety, and comfort. I'm also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for while you're away!
About: I've had animals my entire life! From nursing strays as a kiddo to now as an adult fostering, TNR work. Helping with rehomeing or adoptions. I am comfortable with the difficult situations and animals just as much as I am with the happy ones. I'm a RN by trade but only work 3 days a week (every weekend) during the week I am at home with my own fur babies and have plenty of time to share with your pets! I care for each pet differently as I do my patients in the hospital. Every animal is different and I base how I interact off of their specific needs. I'm patient with the more timid or stubborn guys who may require a little more time to do something. A super friendly energetic pet may need a little more supervision over the older or maybe more calm pet. I'm comfortable and able to being adaptable based off your pets specific needs
About: Hi! I’m Christy, and I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. My goal is to help both you and your pet feel completely at ease through dependable care, thoughtful communication, and lots of updates and photos while you’re away. I’m calm, patient, and comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels—from playful puppies to senior companions who need a little extra time and care. I also have experience fostering kittens and socializing adoptable cats, so I’m happy caring for both dogs and cats. Every pet is different, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, medication, a quiet companion, or simply extra patience, I’ll provide the same level of care and attention I’d want for my own pets. When I’m not caring for pets, you’ll usually find me hiking local trails, exploring Charlotte’s greenways, or spending time outdoors. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I have the flexibility to provide dependable walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and cat care throughout the week. I’m extremely organized, dependable, and punctual. If I say I’ll be there, you can count on me. I enjoy building trust with both pets and their people, and I love seeing nervous pets become excited to see me. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine and giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Safety is always my top priority, and I’ll carefully follow your instructions while keeping you updated with photos and detailed reports so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“I have a senior dog who requires special care, and Christine was wonderful with her while I was away. She kept me very well informed and provided my girl with extra love and attention to help her be the most comfortable in my absence. Highly recommend.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Catawba
Chloe was great! She was punctual and so attentive to our senior Golden girls. We appreciated all the pics and our girls always looked so happy in them. She stayed overnight and left our home cleaner than we left it! Chloe was recommended to us by neighbor/friends and we highly recommend Chloe!
We’ve used Rover for ten years and in that time have used many different sitters. Chloe was easily one of if not the best sitters we’ve had! She communicated clearly, sent updates, left the house clean, and, most importantly, seemed to genuinely care for our dog and took excellent care of him. We will definitely book with Chloe again!
Chloe stayed with my dog for 8 nights while I was on vacation. She communicated and sent me pictures of what they were doing every day. She stayed at my house the entire time so my dog was not alone. It was such a great way for my dog to stay in the comfort of her home while Chloe came to her to pet sit. Came home from vaca to a happy dog and clean house. Would/Will absolutely use her in the future!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Catawba is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $53 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.

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 Catawba 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 Catawba 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 Catawba 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.
