“Machalah helped us out last minute and gave my fur-babies lots of love and attention, staying overnight with my anxious Aussie for two nights. She went above and beyond! I would definitely book her again.”
“Emily was fantastic with my 10 month old pup, who is usually very timid with strangers, but warmed up to Emily quickly. Emily is very reliable, kind, and would highly recommend her.”
“Samantha and her daughter Hannah did a fantastic job caring for our two dogs and house during our recent trip. Samantha sent cute pics of our dogs every day we were gone which allowed us to relax knowing they were happy. She was patient with our shy, anxious dog and let him slowly warm up to her, she prepared chicken and rice dinners for the pups as we requested and even washed the sheets and towels to make things easier for us when we got home. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Sharon was great with our harley she helped out with walking her and getting her use to going out at night again. Sharon kept us informed of everything that was going on with harley and how she was doing and sent us pics. We will definitely use her again.”
“Justine is outstanding! I never worry about our animals when we go out of town and leave her in charge. She handles our reactive dog with ease and understanding and we just really appreciate the care she takes of them!”
“Peyton was wonderful with Roland. I came home to a happy dog and a tidy home. Peyton exceeded my expectations. She kept me informed with texts and photos. Will certainly book again.”
“Hannah was absolutely amazing! We left our two pups at home with her for 8 days and never once had to worry!! She is definitely a dog person and played with our puppy and loved on our older dog. I don’t even know if our dogs had a chance to miss us!”
About: Hi! My name is Marissa and I am an animal lover, pet mom, and full-time teacher. I am looking for some additional income and would love to help take care of your fur baby while you are away on vacation or at work. While I do not have a lot of experience pet sitting, I have had pets my entire life and am currently a pet mom to my cat, Malachi. I am always the one that my friends/family go to if they need a pet sitter or help with their pets. I have a flexible schedule and would have plenty of time to spend time with and get to know your wonderful pet. I can't wait to hear from you and get to know your special fur baby/babies! I am currently a full time teacher, meaning I am able to care for your animal early mornings and I am off early afternoon so your pet will not have to wait until evening for care! I also have most common break/vacation times (thanksgiving, Christmas, summer, long weekends) off and have a more flexible schedule during those times. I will care for your pet as if it were my own! I make sure your pet is fed and taken care of, but I would also love to spend time with your pet so they are not lonely while you are away.
“I had absolutely no worries the whole time I was on my work trip. Katlin sent me tons of pictures and I could tell my Spikers was in good hands! Will definitely request her again! Thank you soooo much Katlin!!!”
“Kristi is WONDERFUL! She arrives early, she is very kind, and Rico absolutely adores her! Kristi house sat overnight, for us, and we could not be any happier. She is very communicative, and sends tons of pictures! We will definitely be booking Kristi again & again!”
“Donna is a very reliable pet sitter. I have used her three times now and been very happy with her services. Our house is always cleaner when we get home than when we left. Also Linde likes Donna so she seems calm when we return from being away.”
“Gussie took care of our dogs on such short notice, which was a relief after our other sitter cancelled due to a family emergency. Gussie communicated and sent photos daily, which I appreciated. One of our dogs is 17 and she met his senior needs. Our other dog usually takes a while to warm up to people, but it did not take her long to warm up to Gussie.”
“Lexi was great with our pups! She sent us updates and made sure our pups were taken care of. Finn has epilepsy and she made sure he had his meds! Will definitely be booking with her again 🐶”
“Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at our home and took incredible care of our two fur babies. The house was kept in immaculate condition, and we could tell our pets were well-loved and comfortable while we were away. She sent us great updates and photos throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was also extremely accommodating when my flights were delayed and cancelled. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—highly recommend!”
“Taylor was great! My cat, Stanley, really seemed to connect with her and was his normal, happy self when I got home from a week-long vacation. Normally, he gets depressed and won’t eat while I’m gone but that wasn’t the case this time, it’s obvious Taylor gave him the TLC he needed while I was away since he is such a social and playful cat. I received daily updates and photos while I was away, and Taylor also left my apartment in great condition. I’ve already re-booked Taylor for another stay for an upcoming trip out of town and am so grateful to have found a sitter that my cat genuinely seems to enjoy! Definitely recommend!”

My dog is very nervous around new people, but CeCe was patient and let him come to her. She provided several updates and many photos during her stay at our house, which made us feel at ease. Our fur baby and house were well cared for, and I would not hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a new sitter.

We will definitely book with her again!
De'Asia stayed with our 66 lb sweet but dog-reactive handful for several days. We told her she was welcome to walk him but didnt have to. She took him all over thre neighborhood successfully while keeping me well informed of how he was the whole time. That alone would have been above and beyond. My house was cleaner than I left it, possibly cleaner than I've seen it in months. She treated both my house and my dog like her own. I told my husband to make room because I was going to beg her to move in. Heck. We might go out of town just to give the dog another chance to stay with her. I've had a lot of rover sitters over the years and De'Asia is the best we've ever had. I strongly suggest booking her, as long as its not while Im also out of town.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cave Spring
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cave Spring on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 397 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cave Spring. 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 Cave Spring 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 Cave Spring 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 Cave Spring 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 Cave Spring. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
