“I would recommend Chelsea to anyone! This was our first time using Rover in a very long time with 3 senior dogs and we were out of the country. I was very nervous. Chelsea sent us multiple photos a day to calm my nerves, I got stories of play time and puppy massages, extra treats. Everyone was thrilled! 10/10 thank you Chelsea!”
“This is the second time Salem has pet-sat for me. She's very good at communicating and sending updates. She keeps the house nice and tidy and is very trustworthy. My dog seems very happy when Salem's taking care of her.”
“This is our first time using Rover for our 5.5 month old puppy (mini bernedoodle) during a weekend trip to Asheville. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, Kiera is very professional, came to the meet & greet prepared with questions and made Benito (our puppy) feel very comfortable. She shared photos with us throughout the stay, and reached out appropriately when a solicitor kept swinging by the house during her stay. Kiera is gentle and responsible with our puppy, practiced some of his training, and playing with him when he needed. We will definitely use her again! Thanks Kiera 😃”
About: I have many years of experience caring for animals, including volunteering at a dog and cat shelter for about 10 years. I’m calm, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I also spend time around animals regularly and enjoy photographing them, which helps me notice small details in behavior and mood. Your pet will be treated with care, respect, and genuine love. I’m available during weekdays and mornings, and I’m happy to follow any specific routines or instructions I currently have a flexible schedule and can adjust to your pet’s needs. I’m available for drop-in visits during weekdays and some weekends. I always plan my time carefully to make sure your pet gets consistent and reliable care. I respect your home and your pet’s routine. I follow all instructions carefully and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I never rush visits and always pay attention to behavior, food, water, and overall well-being. I also send updates and photos so you can feel at ease.
“Amber was great--she obviously loves animals and I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. They took to her immediately also. All went well while we were gone and I came home to happy dogs.”
About: I have been pet sitting dogs (of all sizes and with various abilities and health concerns) and cats since I was 9. I have two cats of my own in Briar Chapel, so I cannot take animals into my own house. However, I am in close proximity to all Briar Chapel homes, making it easy for me to drop by and feed or walk your animals. I am willing to stay overnight in your home if that is what you would prefer. Walking is my favorite exercise, and I'm happy to take your dogs for long walks, regardless of the weather. I have received medical and behavioral training (as a clinical psychology student), which could make me a good fit for animals with health or behavioral concerns. I also am happy to take care of any other animals you may have, as I have experience with frogs, turtles, snakes, and fish. I also have a big car, so I can take animals to the vet or to other places around town if you need it. I have an extremely flexible schedule. I can come take care of your pets multiple times a day on weekdays and weekends. I am happy to visit your home at whatever times your preferred feeding and walking schedule requires. Because I live in Briar Chapel, I am in close proximity to all Briar Chapel homes, making it easy for me to drop by and feed or walk your animals. I am willing to stay overnight in your home if that is what you would prefer. Walking is my favorite exercise, and I'm happy to take your dogs (or cats) for short or long walks, regardless of the weather. I have received medical and behavioral training, which makes me a good fit for animals with health or behavioral concerns.

I also have a big car, so I can take animals to the vet or to other places around town if you need it.
About: Hi, I'm Olu. I’m an active, dependable pet sitter who loves keeping pets happy, exercised, and engaged. From long walks and outdoor adventures to playtime and cuddles, I make sure every pet gets both physical activity and emotional care. I’ve spent the past year or two pet-sitting for family and friends, and I’m now excited to expand and grow as a pet caregiver. I work in Chapel Hill and have flexible evening and weekend availability, making it easy for me to fit into your pet’s routine. I currently work as a barista in Chapel Hill and have flexible availability, especially in the evenings and on weekends. I’m able to accommodate drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays, and I plan my schedule around giving pets consistent attention, care, and companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well-supervised at all times, whether we’re at home or out for a walk. I love staying active with pets through walks, runs, playtime, and park visits. I also have my own car, so I’m able to help with vet or grooming appointments if needed and approved by the owner.
“Rosa did an amazing jobs taking care of my girls when I reached out with a last minute request for an overnight stay. She was prompt, communicative, and I could tell the dogs were very well taken care of as well as my home. She provided plenty of updates and followed, feeding and medication instructions with attention to detail. Thank you so much for your help Rosa! The girls and I will talk to you again soon!”
“This was my first time leaving my senior dog at home while I was out of town and it was amazing. Olivia is responsible and caring, and I hope that she is available the next time I need care because I would ask her to care for my dog again before looking for any other option. Thank you Olivia!”

I love watching and taking care of such kind amazing critters and would love to continue doing so by helping out and connecting with the members of my community. I work in the afternoons on weekdays from 2-8pm. When I keep animals I always make sure to prioritize their care before my social engagements or any errands that I may need to run. I love taking dogs on long walks and petting and giving love and attention to all animals. It’s important for me to devote my time and energy to taking care of the animals in my care so no matter what they get a lot of my attention. I also am a very clean person and clean after myself and the animals when staying in someone’s home.
“Jennifer took such great care of our pups and our home over the holidays. Her regular updates and photos gave us peace of mind that our pups were in great hands while we’re away. Our home was in better condition when we got back than when we left it. Will be using JR regularly!”

“Victoria was awesome!! She house sat and watched our 2 little sr dogs, and the whole time was so communicative and caring! She sent lots of pics & updates so we had peace of mind our whole trip. The pups were so happy and well looked after. We have already rebooked!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2024, originally helping my mom out with her own pet sitting business. For the past 6 months, I’ve been offering services of my own. I have experience with both cats and dogs and specialize in in-home stays to keep your pets happy and comfortable in their own home. I graduated high school early in January and have been working on my pet care company since then. I am not currently in school, giving me 24/7 availability. I believe the best way to care for pets is to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. This is why I love house sitting for my clients, as their furry friends get to stay in their own home!
“Mia was a lifesaver. I didn't know what I was gonna do because I had to work.She replied immediately. Other's did to but they were busy. She was on time.She communicated with me throughout the day without me asking her to.Mia went above and beyond for Stella. She sent me texts letting me knows how things were going. Couldn't have been happier!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 14 and love animals of all kind! I am organized, patient with all pets, and will give extra love to your animals. I’ve worked with both puppies, senior dogs, and in-between. I’ll make sure your dogs’ needs are addressed whether it’s long walks, spending quality time with them, or giving them extra cuddles. I am currently a full-time student but would love to take care of your pets between my classes or on weekends. If your pet has specific time requirements I'm happy to discuss the details of my availability! I am not able to keep pets in my own home but I can take care of yours. I don’t mind staying overnight if desired!
“Maggie is great! She took excellent care of our senior cat, Loki, giving us peace of mind on a two-week trip abroad. She was very communicative, checking in with photos every day, and left the house spotless when her stay was up. Highly recommend!”
“Natallia was great with Duck! She was very communicative and made sure both Duck and I were comfortable when I had to leave! I will definitely work with Natallia in the future and highly recommend her!”
About: Owners and animals will love my service because I'm very hands on and love to engage with the animals. I have two dogs and two cats of my own who are extremely well behaved with other animals. I've worked with dogs In particular in the past and found a passion with it. It doesn't matter if it's big dogs or small, I love to meet and interact with new animals. I have worked with aggressive breeds in the past so I know how to engage and interact with different breeds and needs. I know not all dogs are the same and each dog requires different techniques for that dog to feel safe and comfortable with a stranger. I feel confident with my ability to walk or sit most dogs. I have open availability for anyone's needs! All I ask is you reach out ahead of time just incase I have anything else booked. I follow the guidelines set by the owners. Each pet is individual and requires certain attention. My job isnt to change the comfortability or routines you have set for your animals. If I encounter any concerns or have any suggestions I will always bring them to the owner before I change any daily routine.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fearrington
Kiera is amazing and our dogs loved being with her. They seemed happy, rested, and healthy after her careful attention. Kiera is very communicative, professional, and kind. She is also an amazing artist. We are grateful to have found her and hope to work with her again!
We had such a great experience with Lynsey! She was incredibly kind, professional, and accommodating from start to finish. She took wonderful care of our dogs and kept us updated with lots of photos and updates throughout the weekend. She is very sweet and has such a love for all animals. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Lyn was a wonderful fit for our family. Our Alvin bonded with her quickly. He looked relaxed and happy in the many images and updates she sent us. One of her best qualities is her quick response time and gift for communication. Our home was clean and taken care of as we would. We would certainly want Lyn again.

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 Fearrington 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 Fearrington 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 Fearrington 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.
