“Lillie was great! Communicated often and send photos as well. Left the house spotless! Milo ate the kitchen mat (for the SECOND TIME) and Lillie offered to reimburse us. Of course we said absolutely not- Milo gets mad when people he likes leaves the house. All in all a great experience! Definitely recommend!”
“Sol is an incredibly thoughtful and caring sitter. We were traveling a good distance away from home, and naturally anxious about leaving our animals behind. To top things off, one of our dogs injured herself the week we were leaving and needed medications to help with healing and pain management. Sol took great care with our pup who needed medications and kept us up to date on when she had had her doses and when she had completed them. He also took care to not exercise her too soon, at our request, and kept us up to date on her condition once he did start walking her. Sol was a great communicator while watching our animals, and he sent us such amazing pictures of our pets. They definitely didn’t seem to miss us that much! We would absolutely have Sol care for our animals while away again!”
About: While I don’t have professional pet care experience yet, I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and more in my own home as well as for family. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, cleaning up after, and spending quality time with animals. I’m responsible, gentle, and treat every pet like family. As a Resident Assistant, I have a flexible yet busy schedule, but I always make time for pet care! I’m available most evenings and weekends for drop-ins, walks, or boarding. I don’t have pets at home, so your dog will get my full attention. I’m careful on walks, stick to safe routes, and always follow your care instructions.
“Brinkley was such a great sitter to our dogs and cat! She was very kind, communicative, and sent us pictures while we were away. We knew our pets were in good hands, and we would recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!”
About: I had two dogs growing up and one of the hardest parts of my life so far was both of them passing away. I loved them so much and I want to be able to give my love and care to other animals! I would love to go on walks/ play/ and take care of your animal as if they were my own. I feel there is a hole in me and it can be filled with taking care of animals. I know that may sound cheezy but I am an avid animal lover. Being able to take care of your animal would put a huge smile on my face ( and your) knowing they are healthy and happy in my care. I hope you choose me :) My schedule is pretty open and I am open to working with you to find a proper schedule to meet your needs! I am available for drop ins and overnight! I give lots of love and cuddle, watch them play, take them on walks, and of course feed them, and play with them. Administering medicine is also a skill I hold. Attentive to diets and specific needs such as needs for space, interactions with other animals etc..
About: I am a biology student at WCU focused on ecology, so I absolutely love animals. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, but I also have experience with exotic animals. I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for over 5 years, and it’s always been my favorite job! I work flexible part time jobs, so I am available both mornings and evenings, as well as weekends with notice! My current flexibility also allows for more daytime pet care, such as walks or check-ins. I have lots of experience with overnight pet care, and I know that trust is a big part of an animal feeling comfortable with a stranger in their space. I’m very calm and relaxed when I first meet an animal to give them space to come to me :)
About: I love all animals and taking care of them is a dream job. I live in the Franklin NC area year around. I was raised with Boxers and have been a dog momma for 10 rescues. I have an open schedule however I have a wedding in June and a cruise in August. I am flexible and can be on call if necessary. My pets are inside animals. I have 8 acres with a fenced area and 2 friendly labs. I never allow my dogs off leash unless they are in the fenced area. My dogs are never left unattended outside the home. My cat is an indoor cat.
“Dixie was perfect for Jake my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel for overnight stays. Jake was happy and well cared for. Dixie left my house spotless and that was well appreciated. Thank you Dixie.”
About: Growing up I’ve always owned dogs and I love taking care of my own dog who has high needs. I love walking dogs and always enjoy seeing new dogs roaming about. I have a very open schedule, and that is why I was ready to start with Rover to kind of control my own scheduling. My week is open for plenty of dog walks or dropping visits for pets. I am excited to start working with you. I have one dog and two cats. I walk my dog at least five times a day. She is a terrier and needs extra exercise. I have two cats who are indoor. I change their litter box weekly and scoop it daily. Keeping a good hygiene for cats is extremely important for your home so I value that very much. My pets names are Oreo for my dog Millie and pumpkin on my cats.
“Ginger was great. Arrived early and took very good care of my dog. Sent me text pictures during the stay. I could tell that Jazz really liked her. The stay was for just a few hours to allow me to attend a social event, but I was happy to pay, the full overnight charge as Ginger was very professional, very pleasant and indeed very reliable. She would be my first choice in the Highlands/Cashiers NC area when I am traveling there. MKW.”
“Best dog sitter we’ve ever had! ❤️ I was worried leaving our dog who had been sick shortly before a trip, and Emily gave us incredibly thorough updates with lots of pictures, gave him all of his meds and let us know how he was feeling every day. It put us so at ease. Her communication and sweet demeanor were wonderful and also made our dogs feel at ease too. Our house was spotless when we got back and she took such great care of everything. Looking forward to having her back!”
About: I have always loved animals both dogs and cats. I have lots of patience with puppies and training all the way to senior dogs with limited mobility. I am skilled in understanding the personality of dogs and cats and how to best adapt my energy to make sure they are attuned to in a soft, gentle way. I am fit and in shape for those puppy and energetic dogs that need a longer walk as well. Would be honored to take care of your fur babies while you are away. I have had dogs for over 30+years :) Available to help your pet 7 days of the week! For House Sitting - I can be there the full amount of time as I work remote making sure I can take your fur baby out at all intervals throughout the day! I offer sweet energy to meet and greet your pet so that it feels comfortable going as slow as needed for your pet to feel comfortable. I am tuned in to your pets needs and respond with love and affection.
“Really appreciate Amanda staying with out boys while we took a short little vacation. She took them for a swim in the river by our house and it's obvious that they were well taken care of while we were gone. She also sent us pics of them enjoying themselves while we were gone. It was also clear that she also took the time to straighten up the house and vacuum before we got back. Would highly recommend her and will definitely look to her again for our next trip.”
About: Hi! I’ve taken care of dogs/cats for about 3 years now. I have kitty’s of my own so I know how important it is to get trustworthy, quality, and loving care when in need. I can assure to provide all that and keeping your home tidy as well:) I currently work full time but my weekdays I am off by 5pm and Tuesdays and Sundays I am free.

“Amber provided excellent care for all of my pets. From her photos it was very clear that Amber made my nervous puppy feel completely safe and comfortable. Furthermore it was very evident my cats loved her company. I am super pleased with her services and would recommend.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Laport
Brinkley was so good with our 2 German shepherds and a 5 month old kitten. The quality of care and constant updates gave me peace of mind knowing how well cared and loved our babies were. I highly recommend anyone to schedule an appt with her as I know I will definitely do so myself.
Ellie did an amazing job watching our home and caring for our dogs while we were out of town. I have a dachshund who is extremely picky on who she likes, and she absolutely loved Ellie unlike any other dog sitter we have seen. She is extremely communicative and we will absolutely be reaching back out to her.

FAQs for House Sitting - East Laport
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 184 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Laport. 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 East Laport 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 East Laport 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 East Laport 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.

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.
