“Daryana did an excellent job taking care of my dog Clover and my home!! Clover took to her immediately, which made. me feel better about leaving for a few days. Daryana communicated every day that I was gone, and when things went awry, she was quick to let me know and come up with a solution. When I got home, it looked like I never left, minus the empty toilet paper roll.”
“Brady doesn’t warm up to new people easily, so Amy had quite a challenge from the start. She was incredibly patient, and kept us updated with frequent pictures, which gave us peace of mind. She took Brady on several walks to help calm his nerves. I felt comfortable knowing Brady was in her care, and I’ve already booked Amy again in November. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced pet sitter.”
“Clarisa was amazing and a blessing. She dog sat in our home while I was away for a week. Without a doubt the best dog sitter we've ever had. She gave so much love and care to our senior dog "Minnie". I will absolutely use her again. Thank you Clarisa. Mike K. Greenville.”
“Katie did a great job with our curmudgeonly chihuahua! She handled his drama super well, stayed calm through the big ice storm that hit Charlotte while staying at our home, and helped trouble shoot our system when the thermostat went out unexpectedly. When we were delayed coming home due to the storm, she was happy to stay the extra night and left our home in great condition. I'll absolutely be reaching out to her again when our little old chi needs a sitter in the future!”
“Timely communication, knowledgeable and accommodating! Brooklyn saved the day caring for my terriers while I had a family engagement. I was in from out of town and she made sure that my boys were well cared for in a city where I didn’t know anyone. She let me know what was happening, was flexible and kind. I can’t recommend her more highly!”
“Elizabeth was great and we would highly recommend her. She took very good care of our little dog and also looked after our plants. She provided photos and was easy to communicate with while we were gone.”
“Many thanks to Heather for watching our girl Fairah over the weekend! My wife and I don't get to get away often, so when when the chance arises, we take it! Heather took care of our girl and worked on her leash training, offering many tips in the hopes of getting to where she needs to be. She was able to interact with Heather's dogs and played her heart out! She was exhausted when she got home! Overall a great job, I would trust Heather with any of my animals, she's fantastic!”
“Autumn was amazing! Autumn watched our small dog & cat for a week while on vacation and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our animals. Not only did she respect our home and leave it clean and tidy, but you could tell by how happy and healthy our animals were when we came home that they were well taken care of. Communication was always seamless and easy & she was super flexible. She made us feel comfortable our entire time away and I would absolutely recommend her to watch your animals and we will absolutely use her again in the future!”
“Hannah was very thoughtful and compassionate in her care for our dog and cat. She sent several pictures showing off our happy pets! When our cat had a medical emergency, she reacted quickly to get him the care he needed and made us feel like he was safely in her capable hands. We were so thankful to have Hannah take care of our babies!”
About: Growing up surrounded by animals and currently sharing my 2 homes with three dogs and a cat. My house’s are full of different personalities and energy levels, which has taught me how to read an animal’s needs quickly and provide the right kind of care. I know that every animal is different. Whether you have a reactive dog who needs a calm, patient hand or a senior pet who needs a gentle approach and a medication routine, I’m ready to help. From the endless energy of puppies and kittens to the quiet companionship of older pets, I have the experience to make sure your best friend feels safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I’m currently a college student at ECU! I’m home for the summer and have a part time job but schedule is extremely flexible! At home, my pets are family, and their well-being is my top priority. I manage a busy household with three dogs and a cat, which has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of temperaments-from high-energy puppies to calm seniors and even reactive personalities. I take a structured yet affectionate approach to their care, focusing on: • Routine & Reliability: Maintaining consistent feeding schedules and a clean environment. • Mental & Physical Health: Ensuring everyone gets the right amount of exercise and play to stay happy. • Individualized Attention: I'm highly observant of their unique body language, making sure I provide space or engagement exactly when they need it.
“Hannah stayed in my home with my dog and cat while my husband and I were on vacation for a week. I have nothing but good things to say! Hannah was so sweet and took excellent care of my babies and my home! She was very communicative and sent me several updates per day. I trusted her with my babies and I could tell they were so happy and relaxed in her care! We will definitely work with her again in the future!”
About: I personally have 3 dogs, 1 husky, 1 pittbull, and 1 chihuahua. I have had dogs growing up and have often dog sat for family and friends. I am a responsible 18 year old who just graduated from early college and am looking for jobs to keep me busy this summer. I am currently also working part-time so if I am given enough notice I work around my schedule to pet or house sit any day and time. When caring for clients animals I tend to give them a lot of attention and follow any rules given regarding feeding and/or house rules. When house sitting I tend to not mess with owners things and just keep to one space.
“Jodi and Kim were wonderful! Amy and Skip feel in love when they first met, and all that love was given back. They kept me updated along with cute pictures! They even offered to extend an extra day in case my flight home was canceled.”
“Morgan was amazing! She watched Monte for a long weekend and was super easy to communicate with. She sent lots of pictures and updates and Monte clearly had a great time with her. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter and I hope to book with her again in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and can make time throughout the week to care for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care depending on the owner’s needs. I enjoy spending time with animals, so I always make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I prioritize pet safety by following owner instructions, supervising pets closely, keeping environments secure, and providing gentle, attentive care while sending updates so owners feel confident.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 200 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chicod. 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 Chicod 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 Chicod 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 Chicod 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
