“Gwen was an amazing sitter for Baby! We got lots of updates and pictures over the weekend. It’s hard for me to leave her with just anyone because she’s our little girl who typically is with us at all times. I was able to relax and enjoy my son’s soccer tournament knowing that she was in the very capable and loving hands of Gwen. Thank you once again, Gwen!!”
“Savanna took great care of our dog Herschel! She sent us tons of photos and updates and was very easy to communicate with while we were away. We'd strongly recommend her and would have her watch him again in a second.”
“Lauren was great with our very large dog. She stayed at our home for several days and even gave our dog a very thorough brushing. We will definitely be booking with Lauren again.”
About: Not only have I grown up with dogs (cats, chickens, rats, the works!), I have extensive experience in petsitting and will do everything in my power to make sure your pet has a comfortable and safe experience while you are away. I am qualified in walking, feeding, playtime, bath time, training, etc... I have had many senior dogs in my lifetime, so I understand the challenges and patience needed for sweet seniors. All of my dogs have been rescues and understand the required care needed for shy or anxious dogs. I also have 3+ years experience in fostering cats, kittens included, so I'm well-versed in cat care too. I have two foster fails of my own! I am working remotely this summer so I can work my schedule around you :) Friday mornings are usually a no-go along with Thursdays from 10:30-2:30pm. Otherwise I'm around! I will strive to provide a secure, safe environment and be attentive to needs and any behavior changes. No loud, sudden noises and positive reinforcement will create a calm, comfortable environment for your pet. Walking, playing, and feeding daily can be given along with bathing.
“Chelsea provided house sitting for our French Bulldog and English Bulldog for 2 weeks while we were overseas. She sent daily updates and pictures. The dogs seemed happy in the pics! There was a problem with our air conditioner which was taken care of the very next day. She handled the situation like a champ. We had to extend our stay for one extra day. Chelsea was very flexible and accommodated our request to add another day. We returned home with our house in order and very excited dogs. We will continue to use her services because she is dependable, flexible and kind.”
“Kiera did a great job watching our dog and staying at our house while we were away for several days. She was prompt, dependable, and responsive. She took great care of our dog and sent us daily updates with pictures. We hope to book her again in the future.”
“Nicole stepped in and was able to help us out with a last minute sit for our cat and dog. They loved having her stay with them and were well taken care of. We came home to a spotless home and happy pets! We would definitely use Nicole again!”
“Aspen took care of my very anxious velcro dog for 4 nights, and I couldn't be happier. She checked in daily but didn't overwhelm me with messages. My dog was happy and healthy when I returned home, and the house looked just like I left it. I will definitely reach out to her in the future.”
“I want to gatekeep Ria because she is the greatest, but I won’t! She is a skilled caretaker of dogs, kind and reliable, gentle on our animals and our home, easy to communicate with and overall highly recommended. Am already rebooking her for our next trip. Thanks Ria!”
“Emily was wonderful when she stayed in my home and watched my dogs for a few days! She was punctual, professional and was very respectful of my home. It takes a lot of trust to invite someone to stay in your home, and Emily was wonderful in this respect! My dogs were well taken care of, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a caring person to take care of their pet.”
“Salem was absolutely amazing for Oliver and did everything that we asked and more! She was very communicative and gave us total peace of mind while we were far far away from home!”
“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.”
“Our pup is not usually 'open to new relationships' but she quickly warmed up to Claire. The weather posed significant challenges during Claire's stay but she managed everything with aplomb. Great job!”
About: I have been watching people’s furry family members for 10 years, giving them the love and care they need while their humans are away. I have experience with special needs pets, elderly pets, and other pets (chinchillas, bearded dragons, chickens, fish). I am comfortable administering medicines and other treatments, as well as cleaning up after/bathing animals when needed. Please keep in mind when booking that I require a weeks notice for jobs. I have another part time job that I have to give notice to. I am currently working full-time at a cafe/brunch restaurant. My typical shifts are 9-4 Wednesday-Thursday. If needed I have no issue with visiting your pets on my lunch break, given that they are a feasible distance from my job. I am available to watch your pets/home for any length of time. I am aware of how stressful it can be for your pet to not only be without their family, but to have a stranger come into their home. I make a point to gain your pets trust using experience and respect. I adapt to the needs of your pet, making sure their are cared for to the fullest, while also staying within their boundaries.
“Hi Anthony, even in your own health emergency, you still managed to care for Sansa. Bailey was an excellent emergency fill in. I hope you are on the mend soon. Again, your ability to work to ensure Sansa was well cared for means the world to us. We look forward to working with you again.”
“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!”
“Paola was excellent. Very communicative and sent plenty of videos and photos of our babies. She treated them like her own. We would absolutely recommend her and will be asking for her services again!”

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!
Aneycia was wonderful with my pup, she’s patient and attentive, and kept me updated as needed. I was able to fully engage in the event I was attending because I was confident in Aneycia’s ability to care for my dog. I came back to a clean home and a happy dog. I highly recommend booking with her.
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.
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!
Meredith was great! She met them a couple of times before we left, which really helped our older dog with anxiety. She connected so well with the pups. She kept us informed with pictures and videos, so we knew our pups were in good hands. She treated our home with care, too, which was appreciated. We would happily book with Meredith again!
Lane was so phenomenal; last minute agreed to watch over my cat who just had surgery for the whole day while I was at work. She provided frequent updates, was incredibly attentive, and my cat absolutely loved her. It was such a relief knowing that someone so caring was looking after my cat in a vulnerable moment like this! Would definitely book again!
Ryan was great with our pup Ember! She spent a lot of time at our house which we loved because our dog is used to having someone at home most of the day. We came back to a happy, healthy pup and our home was just as clean as we left it. Our dog is slightly high maintenance and requires daily medicine and 3x/day feedings and Ryan was able to handle both of those things with ease. Will definitely use Ryan again in the future!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
