About: I have grown up with all sizes and ages of dogs from an elderly black Lab to a baby Maltese Shitzu. I love all types of animals and have pet-sat for many people, including coworkers, neighbors, and roommates. I am a recent graduate of Appalachian State University living in Boone for the summer. Then moving to Greenville, NC in the Fall to attend East Carolina University for graduate school. I am available anytime! To care best for your animal, I will respect the space and privacy of your home. Please provide specifications so I can ensure all guidelines will be followed.

Skyla was really responsive and our pup was happy upon our return. She checked in about her eating, took her on walks, sent photos and updates and overall seemed great with our dog. We really appreciated her flexibility and care!

Anaiah did amazing with our girls! Our cat needs medication multiple times a day, and she administered them as requested. Our picky pup likes having the tv on when she’s alone, and she provided that as well as all her other little side needs. Anaiah didn’t hesitate to ask questions about them/their needs which I appreciate a ton! To me that shows she cared about our girls and paid attention to details we forgot to mention. We got pictures and updates throughout us being gone! If she’ll have our girls again, we’d love to rebook in the future!

About: I have had at least one dog my whole life. I have pet-sit and walked dogs of my friends and neighbors for many years, specifically older dogs, that require more patience. I am currently a student at App State, and I am in Boone for the summer. I would love to come walk and spend time with your animals! I am highly flexible and attentive to the specific needs of your pets. I have no pets while in Boone so your animals will be my only commitment.

Pheobe was super easy to work with and did a great job with our three cats. She handled kitty digestive issues and wild kitten energy with grace and even kept the house tidy in the midst of cat chaos! Would recommend ☺️

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I have cared for dogs and cats for family, friends, and pet owners who trust me to provide reliable, loving care. I enjoy keeping pets active, comfortable, and happy through walks, playtime, cuddles, and consistent routines. Previously owning a senior dog, I have firsthand experience providing attentive care for aging pets and understand the patience, consistency, and compassion they require. I treat every pet like family and strive to make their time away from their owners as stress free and enjoyable as possible. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy spending my free time with animals. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide reliable walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand the importance of consistency and communication, and I am committed to making sure your pet receives attentive care and plenty of love while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs to ensure they feel secure and well cared for. As an owner of a senior dog, I have experience caring for pets of all ages and understand the patience and attention some animals require. Whether in your home or on a walk, I will treat your pet like family and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Sarah kept me updated on how things were going, and she was always prompt to respond to my messages - two things that are highly important to me! My boy is a typical small dog and can be a little fiesty but he seemed to warm to Sarah very quickly! I had to find a pet sitter at the last minute when my scheduled sitter got sick and Sarah was flexible and accommodating so that I didn’t have to change any plans!

About: Hey there! I’m Christine! I am a lifelong animal lover with over 4 years of experience in dog walking and sitting. Growing up, I was always surrounded by furry friends, and that passion has only grown since then. I believe every walk is an adventure, and I love to play and have fun with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Your pup will get plenty of exercise, love, and attention while they’re with me. I will also treat your dog with the same love I give to my own family. My schedule is pretty relaxed especially now being summer so I will have much time to care for your pet's needs practically all day if necessary! I have been taking care of my own dogs for years and will be able to ensure that they are safely kept inside/outside during the day and in their proper sleeping quarters for night.

About: I have had pets in my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, fish, lizards, and even tarantulas! I work a typical 9-5 and can be available before going into work, after work and before bedtime. I have the ability to work from home some days when needed. I will pay attention to the details you leave for me and communicate very clearly throughout the process. I think routine is important to animals and I intend to respect that.

Cassie took wonderful care of our one-year-old Australian Shepherd mix and our 16-year-old cat. Frankie is full of energy and needs lots of exercise and attention, and Cassie handled it all with ease, sharing great photos and updates along the way. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such good hands and will definitely be using her services again!

About: I've been loving my cat and dog for a good 15 years, and have plenty of love for your babies too! I'm comfortable administering meds and caring for older animals. From my volunteering, I can handle many temperaments. I'm confident in walking a good few miles as well. I'm currently working part-time, and its the summer so Im out of school and have plenty of time to dedicate to your babies! I'm officially only unavailable on Tuesdays from 4-6. I'm a morning bird and night owl! I have a fenced in yard with an older pup and a calm older kitty. It's just my Mom and I at home, so a calm, quiet environment. We've got a large backyard and plenty of energy to provide if needed!

Caitlin took excellent care of our two rough collies! We felt we could never leave them before because the youngest has a seizure disorder and has a routine of medicine at night and in the morning. The oldest is 12 and has had some incontinence issues in the past. They both love Caitlin! The youngest had no problems taking his medicine. They both ate and went on many walks. When we returned, we were welcomed by two very happy collies. We are very thankful for Carlin and will definitely call on her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Deep Gap

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Deep Gap on Rover is $27.82 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 148 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Deep Gap. 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 Deep Gap 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 Deep Gap 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 Deep Gap 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 Deep Gap. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
