“Our dogs and cats were so happy with Laina. She left our home in great shape after staying with them for 4 nights, and communicated any questions or issues (which were minimal, because our animals are anxious!) quickly and professionally. We will definitely rebook for future petsitting. Thank you, Laina!”
About: My combined experience from growing up with pets as well as pet sitting for others, makes me comfortable and reliable when it comes to caring for them and satisfying their needs. I have strong sense of responsibility and the ability to follow instructions, while providing loving care for your pets. I do have a part time job, so my schedule/availability will change from week to week as I don't get my schedule for the job until the week of. If I stay overnight at a house, I make sure to be on high alert to listen and interpret what I think the animal needs. I also make sure to be respectful of the household's boundaries and rules as well as taking responsibility of the safety (locking doors and etc.) of the house.
“Heather was a great sitter for our home and dog. She took the time to meet us ahead of time, learn about our pup’s quirks, and was respectful of our home while we were away. She was communicative and sent us the perfect amount of updates to give us peace of mind. We will definitely keep her in mind for future bookings. Thanks again, Heather!”
“Mallory was great with my pit mix this weekend - I especially appreciate how patient she was with my dog during a weekend of storms, which my dog hates! Many thanks to Mallory!”
“It’s wonderful to go away and not worry about the members of your furry family ! Ginger, is mature, intelligent and I think would know what to do in any emergency. Do not hesitate to call upon her.”
“Savanah was able to accommodate last minutes sitting for my Yuengling and she was wonderful. She sent constant updates and pictures. She even went beyond by extending the end time range to accommodate our delays. Would love to rebook with her again when we are in the area.”
About: I grew up with all sorts of animals at home and raised my own after college. I grew up caring for neighbors pets and use to watch clients dogs during my summer vacation in college. I also volunteered at shelters over the years. I am currently staying with family to help out after a minor surgery. I have a flexible schedule at this time. In the future I may have other jobs come up. I prefer to stay where the animal is most comfortable, their own home. I also offer visits verse overnight stays for clients comfort. My priority is to make sure your precious pet has the proper care while you are away some you can be focused on your trip knowing everything is good at home.
“I can only say wonderful things about Brittany. She stayed with my pets for 10 days while I was on a business trip overseas. I received photos of my pets from her throughout my trip, and I returned to very happy pets and a truly immaculate house - in fact, it was cleaner and better organized than when I left. One of the top experiences I’ve had with a pet/ housesitter - very highly recommended.”
“Alex was very thorough and very kind and went the extra mile for our dog Bandit. Always above and beyond what needed to be done. Bandit loved having Alex stay with him while we were on our trip.”
“I went home to for my mother's memorial and Kate took care of my dog and 2 cats for for me. Everything went well especially with Loki being a more shy nervous pup. This was the first time he was left without his pack and he made it through with her care and support. I got daily pictures, videos, and updates which helped me being separated from him as well. She did a very goo job of communicating in that way. I would have her here to support them and me again. Thanks, Kate!”
About: 25 years of heartfelt experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages, I bring genuine love and expert knowledge to every furry friend. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a wise senior cat, or anything in between, my deep understanding ensures compassionate, personalized care that nurtures their health and happiness.

“Sonya was great! She stayed with our dog Moose and our gecko Spike. She sent so many wonderful photos and communicated throughout. We really appreciate her taking such good care of them both.”
About: Outside of watching friends and coworkers animals, I grew up in a house where any animal was welcome, so between me and my siblings over the years there were lots to take care of I have a very flexible schedule so I can work with most anybody needing service within a reasonable range. I do weekends overnights or long stays. Ide care for anyone else’s pet like I would my own, as someone who can’t stomach leaving there pet somewhere with anyone I understand completely
About: I’ve been animal-obsessed for as long as I can remember 🐾💕 I’ve worked with animals most of my life and currently work at a veterinary clinic in Brevard, so I have tons of hands-on experience with all kinds of pet needs. I’ve been pet sitting for 7 years, starting out helping friends and family, and I’ve been so lucky to have it grow through word of mouth into something I truly love doing! Caring for animals truly makes me so happy, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—spoiled, loved, and well cared for! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to check on your babies! I can do early AM, lunch and PM visits! I also live within 5 minutes of Downtown Hendersonville so I’m easy and convenient! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take great care to create a calm, secure environment and follow your instructions closely. I also love keeping you connected while you’re away—expect regular photo updates and I’m always happy to do FaceTime check-ins so you can see your pet happy and safe in real time!
About: I have taken care of everything you can think of, it began when I was 9 years old. My family moved on a horse farm, where we took care of 13 horses everyday. After that my family ran a dog kennel with a capacity of 65 dogs, did that for about 4 years. I decided to branch out and start working for myself. I have pet sat for some years now during that, I have cared for live stock, birds, turtles, fish. I currently work weekends, between 8am-2pm. Unfortunately animals don’t talk so I got a part time job to get out of the house and socialize. I have a fenced in year, plenty of toys, a couple crates, definitely lots of bowls. Some dog beds, along with some blankets. Anything your animal may want I try to have. Of course bring anything that you think would help your doggie adjust.
“This is my first Rover and I was a little nervous about leaving my anxious needy babies with someone I did not know. We only briefly met one time but was extremely pleased with the pictures sent and the communication with me while we were gone. I feel comfortable she spent the days being their companion. I got home and she had washed the dishes and taken the sheets off the bed. I would book her again the next time I need someone. Thank you Lynsey.”
“Ava was an excellent sitter for Lupe while we were away for over a week. She kept me informed and responded quickly to my questions. I was worried about Lupe's joint problem but was pleased to find that she was not limping at all when I returned. She seemed very happy and not stressed at all. I would definitely recommend Ava as a sitter.”
“Johnny was just fantastic!! So friendly and he kept in contact throughout my entire trip, sent video and pictures, watered plants and picked up mail! Will definitely ask again!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dellwood
Laura was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of Kona while we were away and sent us lots of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. She also took excellent care of our home, kept everything tidy, and even cleaned up before we returned. It was so nice coming home to a happy pup and a clean house! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We will definitely use her again!
Mallory took such good care of our doggies and our house while we were away! She was very kind and understanding about our crazy, cuddly poochies and managed to have a good time with them. She was great at communicating and sent lots of photos and updates throughout the week, which helped a lot with missing them. Definitely hoping to hire her again in the future!
We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Caitlyn! From the very first interaction, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and understands animals. Leaving your dogs behind is never easy, but she gave us complete peace of mind from start to finish. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and thoughtful. We received regular updates, photos, and little notes about how our dogs were doing, which meant the world to us. It was obvious they were in the best care while we were away. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we returned home. She went above and beyond, keeping everything clean and organized and even handling the house during an unexpected blizzard. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly compassionate to care for your pets, look no further. We are beyond grateful and will absolutely be booking with her again!
Olivia was excellent. She took care of my three dogs and they seem to really love her. She gave them all a good walk in my neighborhood which has very steep hills . She was responsive, sent pictures of my pups. She came on Christmas Eve last minute.Definitely will use her again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Dellwood is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $66 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 Dellwood 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 Dellwood 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 Dellwood 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.
