About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was around 11. Normally at that age just for close friends and family. I used to walk them and feed them and even sometimes get to bathe them. I have a dog right now and I love him with all my heart!! I absolutely love animals. Highly interested in house sitting. I’m off on Wednesdays, Saturday and Sunday so I will be with your pet all day during that time. The other days of the week I will be at work, but we will return immediately after to take care of them. I take my dog for walks and potty breaks every 2-3 hours because right now he is a puppy. I would do the same for your pup, as well as play with them or let them outside to play as much as you’d like me to.

About: I grew up on a farm with all sorts of animals. I have had indoor pets for over 30 years and currently my family and I have two cats. I can even take care of smaller pets like hamsters, guinea pigs and lizards. However, spiders need not apply! 🙂 I currently work until 2: 30 p.m. But I have flexibility to go check on pets, I can also do evening runs and or house sitting as needed! my preference would be to check on your pets in your home, but can provide care in my home. I have cats who have been around dogs a bit

“We had a wonderful first experience with Ozlen sitting in our home for our two dogs. She came to meet us prior to finalizing the booking which is always super important to my husband and I. She sent regular communication and updates daily. She also asked questions when she had them! Our boys were spoiled with walks - she walked them more than we usually do. We would welcome her back anytime.”

About: Even as a kid, I was the primary caregiver for my childhood dog, Zoey. I took responsibility for making sure she was fed and watered, taking her for long walks and playing with her in our backyard. I knew that when I grew up, I would adopt a dog as soon as I could. A few months before I was discharged from the Marine Corps, I reached out to my hometown's local animal shelter about Baron. Baron was a 2-year-old, Boxer/Pit mix and from the moment I saw his picture, I knew he was going to be my boy. I called the shelter regularly to see if he was still there and let them know the day I could pick him up. I drove from my base in California to my Mom's house in Florida, dropped my stuff off, and immediately went to the shelter to adopt Baron. For the first few months I took him everywhere I went. All my friends and family knew that if Dan was coming, so was Baron. A few years after adopting Baron, I shared pictures of him with a girl I was talking to, and she immediately wanted to meet him. I took him for a walk with her and, as they say, the rest is history, she’s my wife. She brought two cats to the relationship, Teyla and Cara, and I eventually adopted a third cat, Ahsoka, with her. I cared for Baron together for 10 years. In 2022, he was diagnosed with bone cancer in his jaw, and we decided to try surgery, chemo and radiation. My wife and I got another 3 years with him, when the vet had told us he had 6 months to live. In 2025, his cancer returned, and he passed away just a few months before I got married. I spread some of his ashes at our wedding ceremony at one of the purest lakes in New Zealand and his name is engraved on our wedding bands. Shortly after saying goodbye to Baron, my wife and I adopted our fourth cat, Leia. I like to say she is Baron reincarnated because she follows me everywhere and has taken his place begging for food at the dinner table. I love meeting new dogs and cats, and have never met a dog that doesn't like me (I think everyone knows that cats aren't always that easy to win over!). As the caregiver for your pet, I bring years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have experience with puppies, kittens, and senior dogs and cats. I am experienced with delivering oral and topical medications, and hand feeding. I am experienced with obedience training and basic commands, crate training, walking on a lead, different types of dog collars, and off leash e-collar use. I understand how to safely have dogs meet, and what signs to look for to signal aggression, discomfort, fear, or playfulness when around other dogs. I understand that pets have routines and schedules, and I will adjust my day to make sure your pet can keep their routine. I know what it's like to have another person care for my pets, and I will make sure to send photos and messages with updates to let you know your pet is safe and happy. As a stay-at-home trophy husband and cat dad, my day is flexible and I can ensure your pet's care and comfort is my top priority. I am currently working part time so I have a flexible schedule to acommodate your pet's routine. Your pet will get a considerable amount of attention and care while I'm with them. I have used Rover in the past for my own dog so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, whether it's reinforcing good behavior or just giving lots of care and love, your pet's well being is my top priority. I'm available when you need me. From checking in on your pets while you are on vacation, taking your dog for a nice stimulating walk, or staying the night with your pets, let me know what works best for you! I will care for your pet in your home so they feel safe and comfortable. I will always have your dog on a leash and check the immediate area for other people/animals before leaving the house. I will respect your home like it's my own house, and I will follow your pet's schedule and house rules.

“This was our first time using Rover as well as an in home dog sitter. Our dogs have a hard time staying at boarding facilities so we wanted to find a more comfortable solution for them. I can’t thank Taylor enough for taking care of our girls and allowing them to keep their usual routine while we were away. I appreciated the check ins and photo updates so much! Taylor is kind, professional, & compassionate. All things any pet owner would hope for in their sitter.”

About: My family and I have taken care of dogs since I was seven years old which is before the Civil War. I have taken care of a Golden Retriever, Golden Doodle, English Springer Spaniels, and Heinz 57 dogs - all lived to old age. Currently, volunteer at Saving Grace. I am a licensed psychologist and certifiable dog lover. I am still practicing part-time and my office is in my home. I look forward to balancing dog care with people care. I own a home in a quiet neighborhood with a large fenced in backyard. Squirrels available upon request - actually they are free and plentiful. Also have small "kiddie pools" for hot weather. We will bring inside during inclement or hot weather.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and puppies for over 5 years and grew up helping take care of puppies from a young age. Being around animals my whole life has taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I’ll provide patient and reliable care tailored to their needs. I’m currently available most weekdays and weekends and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. I make it a priority to keep pets on their normal routine and provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments and always make sure pets are supervised and secure. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs, and I can separate pets or use a crate if needed. I follow any instructions provided by owners carefully and will make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for during their stay.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up with dogs from the time I was a baby. Today, I’m the proud owner of two cats, Bumper and Blaze, and I’m also the unofficial dog walker in my neighborhood! I regularly help neighbors care for and walk their dogs simply because I enjoy animals and like being able to help. I’m active and physically fit, so I’m happy to walk, play and keep up with energetic dogs, but I’m equally comfortable spending quiet time with pets who just want companionship and attention. As a mom and homeowner, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and your home. I’m dependable, kind, patient and attentive, while also being comfortable providing structure and following the routines you have established for your pets. I’m clean, neat and organized, and I will treat your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy animals and want you to be able to leave home knowing your pets are safe, loved and well cared for. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows pet care to fit naturally into my daily life. I enjoy being active, spending time with animals, and have the flexibility to provide dependable care, companionship, and attention based on each pet’s individual routine and needs. I keep my cat's litterbox in our downstairs bathroom. I let our neighborhood dogs visit our cats, but I typically don't housesit at home because one of my cat's is very uncomfortable with that.

About: Animals are truly my biggest passion! Having both a dog and a cat at home, I treat every pet I sit for like family. I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors and friends for about five years now, which taught me how to keep pets happy and comfortable in their routines. Volunteering at the Wake County Animal Center gave me great experience reading different behaviors, and my professional childcare background ensures I am highly reliable and safe. I can't wait to give your pet all the love, long walks, or quiet snuggle time they need! I currently work as a nanny, but my summer schedule is wide open with tons of weeks off while the family travels, giving me full availability right now! I have so much time to step away and completely spoil your furry friends. I'm also super active and love hitting the gym, so getting outside for daily walks and hitting my step count is a huge priority for me. Walking your pup fits perfectly into my daily routine, and I’ll make sure they get all the exercise, fresh air, and attention they deserve! When caring for your pets in your home, my top priorities are safety, consistency, and respect for your space. Because I am a professional nanny, keeping a tight eye on safety and sticking to precise schedules is second nature to me. I make sure to strictly follow your exact instructions for feeding, routines, and any medications so your pets feel secure and comfortable in their own environment. During walks, I am always highly alert to our surroundings, keeping dogs on a secure leash and completely avoiding interactions with unknown animals. At the end of every visit, I double-check that doors are locked, security systems are set, and your home is left exactly how you left it. You will get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing both your pet and your home are in great hands!

FAQs for House Sitting - Falls

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Falls is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $72 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,963 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Falls. 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 Falls 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 Falls 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 Falls 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Falls. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
