“This was the first time we used Rover in Waynesville. We were very pleased with our experience with Sheridan. She was prompt with her visits, communicated well sending messages and pictures and she played outside with boys giving them the attention they needed. At our meet and greet she took notes and we could tell he was a very caring and responsible person. He will definitely book with Sheridan again.”
“Grey was fantastic with my older dog, Luna. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog. He was incredibly communicative and sent me wonderful updates and pictures throughout my trip. I will definitely rebook with him!!”
“Lillie was great with the dogs! She was reliable and communicative for our overnight booking. She was flexible when my plans changed and even tidied up the house! I left her detailed instructions which she followed seamlessly and she sent plenty of happy and cuddly dog pictures. She has quickly become my go-to sitter that I trust.”
About: I've had about 3 years of experience doing pet sitting professionally, but I've been taking care of pets since childhood. I've mainly done work for neighbors or friends, and I've taken care of dogs big and small as well as cats. I've cared for pets who've had various conditions such as arthritis, cataracts, blindess, and deafness, and have experience administering time-sensitive medicine. Also, although I have not taken the steps to get certified as a trainer, I have helped assist a dog trainer many times and have experience in caring for "rowdy" or hyperactive pets. I'm currently a student, but have plenty of time available throughout the day! My schedule is most open during the morning (8am-10am), afternoon (2pm-5pm) and late night hours (8pm-11pm). But, if your pet needs care midday or during the evenings, I can be flexible and adjust accordingly. I make sure to treat your pets as if they were my own. I save any and all written or spoken instructions from owners to make sure pets are given care they are comfortable with and used to. When doing drop-ins, feeding and playing with pets are included. If requested I can also bathe and administer medicine to pets. When walking dogs, I spend 30-60 minutes with them depending on the pet and owner's requests and can walk them as many times a day as needed (within reason). Also, I can accomodate any personal preferences in regards to putting pets in crates, letting them in the backyard, etc. I'll also send picture updates of your pet after I'm done with every visit. I'm always open to questions and requests!
“Autumn was amazing !!!! Traveling from out of town and she checked in sent pics and was amazing !!!! Great response time and great check-ins !!!!! Would recommend her highly and will certainly use again in the future !!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets from early ages (puppies/kittens) as well as senior pets, and anything in between! I understand the differentiated care needed for different pets and will provide all with the upmost care. I currently work part-time and therefore have availability to be there for your pets, as frequently as needed to ensure that your pet is well taken care of. I live in a very safe neighborhood with a private backyard in a wooded area. I have very well-behaved pets, including a small senior dog and two sweet cats. When pet friends come to visit, my pets treat them as the guest of the house!
“Mandolyn was wonderful! She's very comfortable around animals and is incredibly knowledgeable. Our pets loved having her around, and we were able to actually relax on vacation knowing our animals were safe and cared for. Mandolyn's communication is excellent and we got the perfect amount of updates on our pets. Will absolutely book her again!”
About: I’ve been tending to animals since I was about 7 years old, I’ve grown up with cats, dogs, reptiles, farm animals, and more so I’m very comfortable around all pets! I also attended a school where I helped care for animals through my high school years. My schedule is pretty flexible, and honestly, I’d love an excuse to spend more time around animals. I’ve always had a soft spot for cats, especially the weird little personalities they all have. I’m happy to give them attention, play with them, or just hang out and let them do their thing. I’m pretty easygoing and patient, and I like giving animals the time they need to get comfortable with me. I also have a 15-year-old cat, so I definitely have a soft spot for older animals and understand that they can need a little extra patience, care, and attention. Every pet is different, and I’m happy to meet them where they’re at.
“Constance is a great pet sitter! I really appreciated her sending daily videos, photos, and updates on how our cat and new German Shepherds were doing. It made vacation so much more enjoyable not worrying about the pets. Constance also cleaned and left our house spotless. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“Brittany was a great house sitter! I appreciated her care for Foxy and she very helpfully organized my selection of teas and left the house very clean. I would definitely have her sit again.”
“William was great with my puppy. He sent pictures and even saved her from eating a plastic chew toy that was left behind at the dog park. He gives wonderful updates that makes you feel at ease. Repects the space and kept things clean. Will definitely book again!”
About: “I have taken care of dogs my whole life and currently have a sweet pug puppy named Willow. I love taking dogs on walks, giving them playtime, potty breaks, snuggles, and lots of attention. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or an overnight stay, your pup will feel safe, happy and deeply loved in my care I work from home as an artist and am almost always here, so your dog will get consistent walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles throughout the day. They won’t be left alone except for quick errands. 🐾 My home is very dog-friendly with a fully fenced in yard, tons of toys, comfy dog beds, and lots of space to relax. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and in my bed (just like my own pups). I treat every dog like part of the family — with lots of love, patience, and positive reinforcement. 🐾
“Ellie was so great with our puppy and our 3 cats. She stayed most of the day and evening while we were at a wedding. She made sure they all stayed on schedule & sent sweet photos and messages. Will definitely book her again!!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals from dogs and cats to chickens and so caring for pets has been second nature for as long as I can remember. As an adult, I have volunteered at multiple animal rescue centers and was able to rescue and raise 2 wonderful dogs who were a huge part of our lives until they passed. More recently, I’ve worked as a house and pet sitter through TrustedHouseSitters, where homeowners regularly rely on me to care for both their homes and their beloved animals while they’re away. Whether your pet needs dedicated supervision, routine medications, or overnight care, I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, attention, and love I’d give my own. What I Offer Active Dog Walking All Ages & Sizes: Comfortable handling everything from high-energy puppies to large dogs up to 110 pounds. Specialized Care: Experienced in oral and topical medication administration, house sitting, and maintaining consistent daily schedules. Peace of Mind: Honest, dependable care for both your pets and your home while you're away. I'm currently working remote in a contract capacity and so my schedule is incredibly flexible! This means that I can adapt my work schedule around your pet's needs! My husband, Jeff, and I have a clean, safe, non-smoking, multi-level home in East Asheville North Carolina. with a small unfenced yard. My home is close to trails and walking paths so me and your beloved pet will have plenty of opportunities to get our daily exercise. When your pet is staying in my home they will have free reign of the home if that's something they're accustomed to! However, if your furry friend has limitations such as crate training requirements, we can certainly accommodate that too! I currently have no other pets, so your pet would be king or queen of the house during thier stay!
“Kara did a wonderful job staying with our babies. She cared for them as though they were her own and was very attentive to their needs. She respected our space and theirs. We will definitely be reaching out in the future with any other needs. Gunner, Zara and Simba loved her.”
“Wonderful human! Sent updates, took wonderful care of my dog and my place. Thoughtful and intelligent with updates. I could be so fully present where I was because I knew my dog was being so well cared for. Thank you Caitlin!”
“Emily was amazing. She kept us up to date on Hank. Texts and photos. We trust her with Hank and our home anytime. We will definitely be booking her again very soon in the future. She is a rock star!!!”
About: Hi! I’m Izzy, and I’m the kind of person who will probably greet your dog before I greet you! 😂🐶 I’ve grown up surrounded by pets my entire life and have always had a huge soft spot for animals. I’ve cared for my own pets, watched pets for friends and family, and have professional experience working at a doggy daycare! Working at a doggy daycare gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, energy levels, and play styles. I’ve learned how to read body language, recognize different behaviors, safely manage groups of dogs, and understand when a pup needs playtime, space, reassurance, or a good cuddle. 🐕🩷 I absolutely LOVE getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pup is a crazy ball of energy who wants to play all day, a nervous little baby who needs extra patience, or a professional couch potato who just wants cuddles I’m happy to meet them exactly where they’re at! When your pets are with me, they’ll get plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, enrichment, and of course… LOTS of belly rubs. 💕 My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and spoiled while you’re away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your fur babies are in caring and experienced hands. I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they get all the love they deserve. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! 🐾✨ Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the week. Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where animals can feel secure and cared for. I also have experienced introducing pets safely, as I have four friendly dogs and three gentle cats at home who are used to meeting new animals. I always take time to ensure every pet feels comfortable and respected

The average cost of House Sitting in Clyde is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $61 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 Clyde 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 Clyde 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Clyde 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
