Natisha was wonderful! It was a last minute need and she was able to help us out and watch our dog. She sent updates and pictures daily so I knew my dog was in great hands with her. Will definitely use her again!

I cannot say enough how happy I was with Blakey! It was our first time leaving them with someone in our home and my 2 dogs didn’t even act like I had been gone when I came back! I’m pretty sure they were happy being spoiled by Blakey! Will definitely book her in the future!

Alayna always takes great care of our dogs. She also provides a bunch of pics during her time with the dogs that not only let us know our dogs are safe and getting great care but also are some of the best pictures we have of our dogs. It is great having her watch our group

Since I have six dogs and two cats, I really did not think that I was going to be able to find another sitter to add to my work travel rotation (I’ve had good luck with two in the past but schedules were tough) that was going to be able to meet the needs of a sassy dog, a deaf dog, a grumpy dog, an old dog, a nervous dog, and a reserved dog. But Kerrie and her considerate nature and expertise made me and my whole cast of characters feel at ease. Such a wonderful house guest and I came home to a happy, healthy, relaxed bunch. Highly recommend!

Please schedule in house sittings and drop-ins with time so I can accommodate my schedule. Currently living in Hickory/Newton Area, but commuting everyday to Charlotte.

About: I’ve been breeding and raising golden retrievers since I was 16, I’ve been a professional groomer since I was 18. But my love for animals started when I was just a little girl. 🩷 I’m currently in my third trimester and I am a stay at home mom to be. So I am very flexible in my day to day schedule. I prefer to pet sit in the client’s home to make the pet feel the most comfortable and confident, while the pet parent is away.

About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years, starting with walking neighborhood dogs and growing into house sitting and boarding. I’ve also had dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m experienced with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or sticking to their routine, I treat every pet like my own and give them plenty of attention and care! I’m a college student with mostly online coursework, so I have a flexible schedule and am home often. I also care for my two fur babies daily, so pet care is already a big part of my routine! I’m available most days, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel at home. I have two friendly dogs of my own and always make sure introductions are done safely and at a pace that’s comfortable for everyone. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, I keep dogs active and engaged with regular walks around my neighborhood and supervised time outside. I always follow your instructions closely, stick to your pet’s routine, and provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away!

Nikki was excellent! We received updates throughout our time away and she was quick to respond to our messages. We came home to not only a happy pup but a VERY clean house and such a thoughtful surprise gift. Made our day! Will recommend to others and absolutely rebook.

About: Hey y'all, I'm Tyanna and I'm an animal-friendly, kind-hearted pet lover/advocate who has always had a deep passion for animals. I am empathetic, nurturing, and sensitive to various needs, and I take pride in providing compassionate and attentive care to pets. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, especially while away. I have owned a variety of pets over the years, including snakes, cats, and dogs, which has given me experience with different temperaments, animal species, and care needs. I am also a lover of the outdoors and enjoy hiking, which makes me especially happy to provide dogs with needed exercise! I am a full-time student, and my time is fairly flexible. I'm willing to travel to dog sit and can stay in the pet’s home to help maintain their routine and provide stability while you are away. I am also available for daytime check-ins for pets while owners are at work, as well as dog walking to ensure pets get the exercise and attention they need. Because I am new, my level of clients on the app is currently low; however, I can provide client recommendations as needed! My schedule is fairly flexible, so please contact me for additional details. I like to keep my schedule based on how the owners daily routine is with their pet. I like to keep pets on their normal/consistent schedule and will work closely with the owners to prioritize the needs of their pets. Safety is key for me, so I require a meet and greets prior to finalizing the official reservation. This not only allows me to meet the owners and understand their needs, but it also allows me to get to know the pet and ensure we have a good connection.

About: Hello! I have 12+ years of experience caring for pets. 10 years caring for a multiple pet household and 3 years of pet sitting experience. Big and littles! I am new to Rover but can provide references from families I have pet sit for outside of Rover. I can handle medications and other daily needs. I have a lot of fun with animals but understand they also need a lot of structure. Most of my experience is with high drive and energy dogs that I know require exercise, enrichment, and structure. I have experience navigating training tools like ecollars if your pup utilizes those, and would follow your specific training system for your pet. We can go on walks in your neighborhood or a drive out to a walking trail. I’m familiar and comfortable with pups that are crate trained as well. Anxious doggos are no problem, I would just want to get info on how you best care for them when they struggle. I welcome dogs of all ages, and especially love carrying on any training you may be doing with your puppy or adult dog.i live in Rutherford county nc but am available in the greater Asheville area since my work is flexible locations. I work out of the home most of the time but I make my own schedule and work within the community. So I’m able to schedule check ins through out the day. However, because of this, I typically keep puppy or high needs (requiring constant monitoring) to weekends and holidays. My husband also helps with check ins throughout the day and some days, I am home most of the day since I have some hybrid work as well :) but I like to do a walk in the morning and evening, at least. I also enjoy enrichment time with indoor activities or training in the evenings or during poor weather. I am available many holidays, just reach out. I am okay with fenced or unfenced, as I am happy to walk your pup with a leash. I would want to know if they have issues walking though so I can plan for that and ensure it’s an enjoyable experience for everyone :) i take care of the home i am sitting as much as the animals, and i pride myself on leaving things better than i found them. I’m very meticulous and usually, you’ll hardly know I was there.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was the age of 10, I have mostly taken care of smaller dogs, but I can also take care of bigger ones. I'm currently not employed and I'm looking for this to be my job, it would be better if I took care of your pet after 12pm. I take care of six cats and a dog in my home. I provide food and water to them and make sure that they take their medications. I spend a great bit of my time making sure that they are happy and healthy, I get down to their level and spend time playing with them.

FAQs for House Sitting - Duncans Creek

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 264 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Duncans Creek. 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 Duncans Creek 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 Duncans Creek 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 Duncans Creek 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 Duncans Creek. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
