About: As being a pet owner for many years, I have trained my own pets including relatives to do basic tricks and skills in a short period of time. As well as make each and every pet feel loved and at home in every encounter I had. Friends and family always depend on me to watch their pets when needed as they know they are in great hands! I’ve pet sit the smaller dogs like shitzus to the largest dogs like cane corsos and all leave in good spirits. Pet care fits in my schedule as I hardly work and when I do It is only a couple days out of the week. I am a home body individual so I just stay at home all day. I make sure to build a loving and trusting bond with each and every pet. I like all pets to feel at home when staying with me, as well as following all guidelines or rules each owner state. Making sure each pet take daily walks and potty breaks, as well as proper feeding times.
“Ruth did an excellent job caring for our fur babies. We had a dog that recently had surgery and we were concerned about leaving him alone. Ruth was able to also administer his medication. Our babies really enjoyed having her. You could tell how caring and attentive she was to them the moment she walked in the door.”
“Christian took great care of our house and dog while we were away. He was very communicative before and during the house sitting. We received frequent updates and our dog enjoyed time spent with Christian.”
About: I am a lifelong pet owner with experience taking care of dogs ranging from puppies to seniors. I have experience in caring for dogs, including those who have medical issues. My own dog, Betty White, was a special needs chihuahua and she had a variety of medical issues. I administered her medications daily and made sure she had the best quality of life I could give her while she was here. I have been working as a pet/house sitter for the last 5 years via another website. I'm retired and while I do travel when I can, my schedule allows for availability during weekdays and weekends while I'm home. If drop ins or overnight stays are required, I will make sure to prioritize pet care into my regular routine. I do not plan on offering dog sitting in my home as my condominiums do not allow pets in the building unless they are service animals.
“Olivia was so amazing! Seniors last minute to help me out with my dogs. She asked for a meet and greet first which was lovely. She took her time to get to know my dogs and spend good quality time with them; they really enjoyed their time with her!”
“We cannot thank Mel enough for dog sitting. It is truly amazing to have someone you can fully trust with your fluffy babies when you are away home. They not only give our dogs the best care, but they are flexible with any last minute changes including extending dog sitting. They send us many pictures and videos of them everyday, and keep us updated on everything. We are so lucky and blessed to have found the best dog sitters that we can trust our lives with and will be always going back to them.”
About: Hi, I'm Maureen! I've had pets my whole life, and right now I share my home in Converse with a 4-year-old golden retriever and a 7-year-old cat, so I know how much your animals mean to you. When I house-sit, I keep your pets on their normal feeding, walk, and medication schedule, and I treat your home like my own: mail brought in, plants watered, lights on in the evening. You'll get photo updates every day so you never have to wonder how everyone is doing. My schedule is flexible, so I can work around your travel dates, including holidays. I'd love to meet you and your pets before your trip. I have a flexible schedule so I can be there for your pet for the entire day and night if needed. Or I can schedule time in the morning and evening if that is what is needed. I will feed and walk the pet on your schedule. I will throw a ball if that is how your pet likes to play. If your pet prefers to show me toys thats ok too.
“We’ve used Rover now a dozen times and never felt less worried than when Taryn was at our house with our pups! She was extremely professional, personable, and just overall wonderful!! We loved the questions she asked and her attention to detail in looking after our fellas. She was able to administer medication for our one dog, gave us plenty of updates (with fun pics), and even kept our house just as we left it somehow! Taryn is absolutely our go-to sitter now and we couldn’t recommend her more!!”
About: Active young professional working remote that is passionate about dogs, seeking to spend more time with them! My first dog was a mini poodle and I also have owned/fostered a pit bull, a collie, and many hound mixed. My aunt owns an animal shelter where I used to live in Connecticut and I spent a lot of time there exposed to various breeds. Nothing makes me happier than seeing my dog or other dogs living their best life. I can accommodate small dogs that just want some love but also active dogs since I walk about 6-8 miles a day already and would love company. There is a dog park on my street as well if they’d prefer an open area to run. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I find myself just wandering around, walking around the parks, and can accommodate your schedule! I have one small 7 year old beagle mix that your dog could spend time with. Our days would consist of many walks (some on their own and if they don’t mind / prefer company, some with my dog) snuggling, and playing at the dog park which is normally empty. I also enjoy hiking and exploring on the weekends if your dog is into that sort of thing.
About: With over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, I bring unmatched dedication and attentiveness to every pup I meet. I’m incredibly patient, playful, and tuned in to each pet’s unique needs—whether they need extra cuddles, structured training, or a full day of fetch and fun. I’m also skilled in basic dog training and grooming, including bathing, so your furry friend will be both happy and well cared for. When your dog is with me, they’re family! I offer open availability every day of the week—including weekends and holidays—because I know pet care doesn’t take days off. Whether you need a last-minute sitter, holiday help, or consistent daily care, I’m here and ready to provide reliable, loving support for your pup whenever you need it. Your dog’s comfort and routine are my top priorities, no matter the day or season. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I closely follow each dog’s routine, dietary needs, and behavioral cues to ensure they feel secure and cared for at all times. Whether we’re out for a walk or relaxing at home, I maintain a calm, controlled environment and never take risks with unfamiliar dogs or surroundings. I’m experienced in handling emergency situations and always keep a close eye on your pet’s well-being—because peace of mind for you means happy, healthy pups in my care.
“This the is first time we have used Rover and we were very happy with our experience. Cynthia and her daughter watched our girl, Cleo & Lucy, they took outstanding care of them and kept us posted with videos and pictures while we were away and even texted messages us on a daily basis. They took good care of our house and make sure thinks we're secure when leaving. We definitely will have Cynthia and her daughter watch our girls again. I highly recommend reaching out to Cynthia if you want your pets watched in you home, instead of over booked/priced pet resorts.”
“Jayden was a life saver! She hosted Miley last minute. She arrived to our location literally 20min after the booking. She is very sweet, polite and excellent communicator. My husband and I really appreciate you and your time.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nancy! She took such exceptional care of my sweet Piper while I traveled. She was incredibly attentive, sent frequent updates and photos, and most importantly, loved Piper as if she were her own. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Piper was not just being cared for, but genuinely loved. Piper thrives in a quiet, one-on-one environment without other pets, and Nancy’s home and companionship could not have been a more perfect fit. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I am beyond grateful to Nancy for giving Piper so much love and attention, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly special to care for their pup. ❤️”
About: My pets are my world! I have done extensive learning when it comes to dog training and their psychology. My top priority is the safety of all pets! I’m currently a part time worker and student🎓 I am studying business management and have an associates in human resources. I’m looking for additional work. I am a pet parent of 2 dogs. I have a fence in yard where we throw the ball daily. During the evenings my dogs relax in our mud room with their beds
“Josh was a wonderful dog sitter! He took such great care of both of our pups with very different needs. He kept our 2-year-old active and got lots of walks and playtime in, and he assisted our senior dog with mobility issues to use the restroom multiple times a day, including carrying him in and out. He also made sure he ate his food and even fed him when needed. Josh took great care of our home, too; everything was tidy and spotless. He even washed used towels and folded them nicely. He kept us updated with plenty of photos throughout the stay as well. Highly recommend Josh - he is kind, attentive and takes wonderful care of pups and your home!”

Rebecca was lovely! She took such good care of our boys during our recent trip. And from the pictures she sent, it was clear they had a great time. Her communication was fantastic, the dogs were super happy, and the house was cleaner than when we left! We will definitely rebook with Rebecca for our future travels.
Rebecca was excellent! This was our first time booking with her, and she made us feel completely at ease. She was punctual, took great care of Terre, sent me pictures and updates and took him on a walk. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. Terre seemed happy and comfortable with her, and I would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Carolyn was wonderful. She provided plenty of pictures and updates that made us feel very comfortable. She loved Louie like her very own! She accommodated us last minute when we had to extend our return time. We will absolutely use her in the future for our dog sitting needs!

The average cost of House Sitting in China Grove is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $79 per night.

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 China Grove 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 China Grove 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 China Grove 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.

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.
