“Super caring and attentive sitters. Can’t say enough great things about Megan and Jacob. I feel at ease and able to enjoy myself knowing that they are taking care of my babies.”
“Mary did a fantastic job watching my dog Luna at her beautiful farm, which was perfect for the active lifestyle of my dog. I received pictures of my pup riding along for random farm jobs like feeding the ponies. Luna was healthy and happy when I picked her up, which gave me confidence in rebooking with Mary. Thank you very for being flexible at the last minute notice and helping facilitate my work trip and taking care of my best friend.”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have three cats 🐈🐈⬛💛of my own and have also had dogs, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and take pride in making sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. When you trust me with your pets, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I’m available on any day, as I work part time from home. I’ll never leave them alone and they will always receive the attention needed. I have a nice size yard, and my home is also animal friendly. I do have cats inside. I can take them to the pet park and let them play somewhere fenced in, as well. If there are things you prefer, be sure and let me know and I can make those accommodations.
“Penelope was super sweet and very easy to interact with at our introduction. She was very understanding of each of our dog’s temperaments and handled them accordingly. Her communication was great and I was always able to get a response/update from her in a timely manner. Penelope stayed at our home and treated it well, making sure to clean up after herself and the pups! We trust her to take care of our babies and will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: Hey! I'm Grace and I was introduced to dogs at a very early age in life, I grew up with Rottweilers and I lived on a farm my entire life. I now reside in Laurinburg, NC. I have my own dog who is my pride and joy. His name is Graham! I gad him transported from IL to NC and ever since then he's been way more than just a companion. We do dog sports together and he has made my love for dogs beyond explainable. I've been professionally working with animals for over 3 years now ( but, I am more comfortable and experienced with dogs & cats. ) I'm experienced in handling older and younger dogs as well as administrating oral medicine to dogs if needed. I'm someone who is constantly always helping dogs as I am going to school and CATCH academy to get my CDT and hopefully study vet med! I dedicate all my time to helping animals, so my days and weekends are consistently of me taking care of your pets! If you have a special or specific routine, then I'm here to listen and accommodate that! In your home, I am here to listen and take care of your pet the way you think is best for your animal(s) as YOU know them best! I am always coming with toys and treats for your pets and I will confirm beforehand if a toy/treat is acceptable to give to the pet, I also have transportation in case of emergencies. I hope before I come care for your dog we can make a plan that's suited best for the both of you! Whether that be potty breaks every 1-2 hours or special meals during the day, just let me know!

“We were so pleased and relieved have Hannah take care of our dog Spark while we were on a nine-day trip. Hannah communicated often and sent us picture of Spark. We never worried about Spark and felt he was happy and well taken care of. Hannah also feed our fish and watched over the plants in our greenhouse. Hannah is someone you can trust and who takes her responsibilities seriously. We would absolutely hire Hannah again to take care of Spark.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Dobbins Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dobbins Heights on Rover is $47.18 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 128 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dobbins Heights. 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 Dobbins Heights 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 Dobbins Heights 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 Dobbins Heights 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
