About: I’m the person people call when their animals need real care — not just a walk around the block. I regularly foster puppies, kittens, and medical-case animals, so I’m used to everything from bottle babies to pets who need meds, deworming, wound care, and structured routines. Nothing fazes me. I work in animal care, and I’m hands-on every day with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’m big on structure, safety, and making sure your pet feels secure, not stressed. Whether your dog is a stage-five clinger, a shy baby deer, or a chaos gremlin, I’ve probably fostered one just like them. I work a flexible bartending job but with the accompaniment of my boyfriend your furry friend will get the upmost attention and care! We follow strict routine that we customize to our current client or foster. I respect and reinforce owners boundaries. My home is optimized for animal safety and with my extensive animal care knowledge I am confidently able to provide a safe and structured environment.

My dogs and cats are precious to me and I can say without question that Ashley M. took care of them as though they were to her too. She was on time (which is saying something for a 5:15am start time); followed all instructions; and sent me pictures to ease my mind as they were clearly very comfortable with her. Ashley even helped my with an issue in that I couldn't remember if I took a daily medication; when I texted her asking about the container, she sent me a picture of it so I had the information needed. My sister, who picked up the pups to keep them the rest of the day, was very impressed as well. Ashley is a gem and I am grateful for her great care.

About: My name is Mallorie. I'm a mom. Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends. I have a Alaskan Malamute. Her name is Carly Rae. I've also adopted five stray cats. They showed up on my door step, and since then I've been taking care of them. Some of my hobbies are, hiking, camping, and swimming. My dog loves hiking with me. I'm excited to get to know your pet and care for them! 🐕 Pets need routines just as much as humans do for a sense of calm and safety. An act as simple as refilling their food bowl at the same time every day is enough to make them feel comfortable in their living space. Proper pet care includes providing a safe and comfortable area. Frequency with letting out to use the bathroom. Making sure that your pet gets regular exercise, such as walks and play time.

About: Ive taken care of animals my whole life. Whether it was a dog, ferret, or even a goldfish I absolutely adore animals with my whole heart. Im currently going to school full time with a very open schedule that gives me a majority of the day to be free for whatever I need to do. Ive grown up with both crate trained and uncrate trained dogs both big (cane torso) or small (chihuahua) and have had no problem getting them in comfortably and safely. Having multiple pets makes keeping track of when they need to go out and when they should be fed very easy making sure to have as little accidents as possible and always checking the surroundings when letting them in and out of the house.

About: As a child I've grown up with multiple animals as animals as pets, including a few dogs and a few cats. Professionally, I've had four total years taking care of different animals, which includes supervising dogs as well as helping various animals such as cats, guinea pigs, and other animals get adopted. I have had general experience feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming, and over all playing with and supervising dogs. I also have had experience taking care of elderly and disabled animals, which includes but is not limited to a 19 year old cat with arthritis and kidney disease. I have experience giving animals oral medications at the correct times and have been consistently. As of right now, I am offering house sitting, drop-ins and dog walking. As of right now, all seven days of the week are generally free for me and I am home most of the time. However, there may be some days where I'm not available, such as certain holidays or family events. If something happens where I can't take care of your animal(s) (such as an emergency), I'll try to let you know ahead of time. I'll always keep your animals supervised regardless of whatever service I'm doing at the time. If your animal takes medications, I'll administer them at the correct times.

Vanessa took care of my multiple pets in my home while we were away for the weekend and she was amazing! She sent lots of pictures and constantly kept me updated about how things were going while we were gone. My pets were happy and safe, and we were super happy to have someone so reliable there to take care of them. I will definitely be a repeat customer!

About: I have a genuine love for all animals and perhaps a special affinity towards man’s best friend! I have had the pleasure of taking care of and owning animals of various kinds throughout the entirety of my life, from cats and dogs, to ferrets and bunnies! I am able to offer basic puppy training, senior dog care/disabled dog care and also administer medicines. Follow our journeys at themanyminiadventures on IG. I work part-time and am the caregiver for my mother since a bad accident in November of last year and have time to walk, play with, feed and take care of your animal’s needs throughout the day, week or even over the weekend! I enjoy getting to know & have fun with different pups and genuinely understand how important it is to leave your fur babies in good hands. My schedule is very flexible for pup-sitting, spending time with your fur babies and giving them adequate playtime and potty opportunities outside. I treat your fur babies like they’re our fur babies while they are here with the exception of following their diet and your specific instructions. We also: walk dogs on a leash. have extra crates if needed. allow dogs outside time for play in a fenced in part of the yard with the pup friends they came with or solo. provide potty and exercise walks while leashed to allow for new scents as well. Feed pups separately unless they came together and we have been notified they eat well together by the owner(s). have additional sleeping blankets and puppy bedding when needed. notify you immediately in the case of any abnormalities/concerns or emergencies. provide you with pictures and updates over the course of your pup’s stay.

About: I have grown up around animals, they make the world go round! I’ve always had a nurturing, bubbly, thoughtful, and caring personality. I aim to make everyone feel comfortable with open communication and personal relationships. Rest assured, I provide your pet with professional expertise and loving attention that surpasses typical pet sitters. I believe that everyone needs a fur best friend. They are little angels that naturally brighten any persons day! Every fur baby is different, this requires a level of patience that I’m willing to give! Currently I am working from home which will allow for me to be as flexible as needed to watch all of your furry friends whenever necessary! I ensure that pets in both my home and my friends or clients' homes receive attention and loving care, tailored to their individual needs and routines.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals and feel very comfortable handling pets with different needs and personalities. I currently work in recreational therapy twice a week, which has helped me develop patience, responsibility, and strong attention to detail skills that carry over into providing safe and attentive pet care. As an online college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, consistency, an supervision they deserve. At home, our family has five dogs, so I am very familiar with managing multiple pets at once and maintaining consistent schedules. In addition to daily care, I have experience with overnight dog sitting that includes week-long stays where I handled feeding, walks, playtime and managing pet's normal routines. I have cared for puppies, senior dogs, and cats and I understand how to adjust care depending on energy level and age. I have also taken care of chickens while house sitting, so I am comfortable with a variety of animals beyond just dogs and cats. I am able to drive, which allies me to be available for drop ins, walks, and emergencies if needed. Overall, I am dedicated to making families feel safe with leaving their pets at home and making the pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part time and am an online college student. I work Wednesday and Friday nights from 4pm-9pm. For my college classes I do not have to be on any type of zoom, so I do my course work at my own pace. I provide care in my clients home so pets can stay in a familiar, low-stress environment and maintain their normal routine. I follow all care instructions including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences the owner provides. Safety is my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure and keep pets aware from anything that may be unsafe. I work to build trust with both owners and pets by being consistent, patient, and respectful of each pet's personality. I also have reliable transportation, so if an emergency does arise I can provide additional needs.

About: I’m already someone who loves being home, going on peaceful walks, and keeping things cozy, so adding a furry friend to the mix just makes everything better. I treat pets like little VIP guests and I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and a routine that feels calm and predictable for them. I always try to match whatever your pet is used to so they feel safe and comfortable. If I’m watching your pet in your home, I keep their routine exactly how you have it. They will have their meals on time, daily walks, play breaks, and plenty of cuddles. I’m very detail-oriented, so I pay attention to the small things like their favorite toy, how they like to be greeted, or where they prefer to nap. If I’m caring for them in my home, they get a clean, cozy environment, lots of love, and a peaceful space to relax. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I adjust to what makes them feel happiest. I genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own and give them spoiled-in-a-good-way kind of love. I’m patient, observant, and good with pets who may be a little shy or anxious. I have a patient personality and animals tend to trust me quickly. I’m also extremely reliable and communicative, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I’ve cared for a variety of pets from rambunctious puppies to senior dogs. I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs.

I’m comfortable with all sizes and breeds—from small dogs like my Morkie to large breeds like Pit Bulls and Rhodesian Ridgebacks, which I help care for regularly. I work from home, so I’m able to give pets consistent attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work from home, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day.

I am currently home for the summer and am studying for my license exam to become a licensed mental health professional. I am very flexible and open in terms of availability. I have a fenced backyard and my own socialized and friendly dog of my own. Also have a basement, if privacy concerns arise. Thank you.

About: I used to have a dog as I grew up and took care of it for many years and have recently helped take care of my landlord's dog as well. I live in a subdivision so I am more than aware of the practice of curbing the dog. I am very special with pets and love taking care of them. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and all the care it needs and not just the bare basics of food water and walks. I also have taken care of a cat too so I am more than willing to take care of cats as well, but I strongly prefer to take care of dogs only. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes.

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life. We had various breeds ranging in size from small to medium. I chose to foster and adopt large breeds once I became an adult. I’ve given baths and administered medicines throughout the years of owning and helping neighbors take care of their babies. I would love the opportunity to help a family care for their babies! I’m currently a CNA looking to transition into the military so I have a pretty open schedule until the process is over and would be willing to work hours into my schedule if needed! I follow whatever the pet parents rules are for their space and understand that everyone is different with how they want their babies cared for! I am a clean person myself and would always clean up any messes that are made throughout my time in your home!

FAQs for House Sitting - Cobb Island

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 657 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cobb Island. 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 Cobb Island 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 Cobb Island 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 Cobb Island 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 Cobb Island. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
