“Daniela took extra steps to ensure my pets were comfortable and cared for. I frequently feel nervous leaving my pets with someone new, but she was amazing with communication and it eased my mind knowing she was there to care for them. I would use Daniela in the future!!”
About: I'm the one on the floor at parties petting your pet instead of mingling with guests. I'm very reliable and empathetic, and genuinely just love all animals. My husband will not let me adopt anymore animals, so I decided to pet sit to get my fix! I work from home 50%, then in the field 50% for my job. I have flexibility to doing some walking, feeding, etc. Visiting/caring for your pet would be a joy boost to my day! We start early. We feed all animals and let our dog, Birdie, out. I walk her 3 miles a day on most days (She's a GSP, iykyk!). I work from home mostly, so I'm in and out. We have a large fenced in yard for Birdie that she loves. We throw her balls. When I'm doing admin work at my desk, I usually have a cat curled up in my lap (or close by).
“Sarah is a great communicator! Pictures and messages every day. Our dog has severe anxiety and takes meds 4 times a day. Sarah was attentive to all of Dahlia’s needs. I cannot adequately express in words how grateful I am for Sarah and her care for our dog.”
“Jerry is an excellent dog sitter and in my own house. I couldn't have picked a better person for Roux. I received pictures of Roux everyday and she looked so happy. I would like to send Jerry a hardy Thank you”
“Mehlayne was amazing, she was patient with me and my girls 🐶🐶 I had a peaceful mini vacation thanks to Mehlayne. She is pontual has integrity and she is true to her word. Definitely recommend her services and we will be using her services again.”
“We really appreciated Grace house sitting for us. She took great care of everyone, gave us regular updates, and took care of some additional things for our house as well. We would definitely love the opportunity to work with her again, and would highly recommend her services for house sitting. Thank you Grace!”
“Meg, was great she watched over our blind dog Ginger for the 10 days we were out of town. She sent us pictures of Ginger every day and kept us updated on how she was doing. She went above and beyond what we asked for and couldn't be more happy that we had her to watch over our baby.”
“Tracie is an angel, truly! My husband and I have never left our fur baby Kona with anyone other than immediate family and were really nervous. From our first communication Tracie went to work setting our minds at ease. She came to the house for a meet and greet on her own time before booking to ensure it would be a good fit all the way around and immediately I could tell it would be. She stayed with Kona for 3 nights - she sent us regular updates on how Kona was doing, she took her for tons of walks and gave Kona plenty of snuggles. Not only that but she couldn’t have been a more respectful house sitter- she brought her own food, cleaned up after herself and even washed the sheets and towels to ensure we wouldn’t have to do anything when we got home. As an anxious dog mom whose pup is her whole world, Tracie was an answer to my prayers!”
“It was a pleasure to work with Christine. This was my first time using Rover and I was so nervous.. Christine made the process easy and comfortable. Typically I bring Apollo with me where ever I go but let’s face it, that can be a lot of extra work. I needed to leave out of town unexpectedly and it was so nice to know Apollo was home in his own environment. Extra huge perk coming home to my house looking clean! Thanks Christine!”
“Justin was great! He watched our two boys on back to back weekends. He was a great communicator and kept us updated and threw in some cute pictures too! Seemed liked our boys were comfortable with him and as a pet parent that is all we could ask for!”
“Crystal was amazing with Harley. She provided daily updates with photos and many with videos. She's very attentive... checked the mail, noticed an active hornets nest at the back of my complex and reported it to staff, and left my place nice and neat at the end of her stay... even washed the bedding! I will definitely be reaching out to Crystal again for pet/ house sitting, again. 10/10 Recommend 😊”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful. Took such great care of our pup and the house looks better than when we left. She sent us daily photos and updates. Truly made our trip less stressful knowing our pup was in good hands.”
“We were only visiting from out of town and were so happy to find Hannah. Hannah was great with our French Bulldog. He doesnt like staying alone so she sat with him while we went out. She was so caring and took several pictures to keep us posted and reassure us that he was doing just fine. If we are back in the area we would hire Hannah again for sure!”
“Julie was amazing! This was the very first time we've ever had a dog sitter, and she made sure our trip was worry-free! Our pups are not super friendly right off the bat, which was our greatest concern, but Julie handled it like the expert she is. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Sarah! She took great care of our Charlie and kept us updated with photos and messages while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Just... Wow. 😻 Our cats our world. As I know everyone's fur babies are- so when we were setting off for our only holiday of the year & longest we have ever been away from our two cats, my husband & I were full of anxiety. But then.... We met Sunny (aka Lilly Grace). We met her prior to our leaving to ensure it was the right fit & we were blown away by her attentiveness & care to our needs. Folks- again, we have high expectations as we just moved to Greenville & had to put all our faith into someone new along with staying in our newly purchased house... I can't highlight enough how stressful this was. But she gave us the biggest gift by allowing us to be present with friends & family on our holiday & not have to worry a second whilst we were gone. Sunny sent daily update & pictures +++.. Kept the house clean & even took care of our second love (our plants!) 🌱 Do not look further, she will provide you everything you need to be able to relax and enjoy the journey... Not what you had to leave behind. ❤️ Thank you Sunny. We appreciate you. -Alyssa, Ray + Eva & Elvis 😻”

We needed an all day sitter last minute. Miriam was so sweet and came over the meet the dogs ahead of time. And then the day of, she picked them up and brought them home. We had a wedding that day and couldn't be home. It worked out great! I can't wait to utilize Miriam again. :) I highly recommend!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Five Forks
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Five Forks on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 964 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Five Forks. 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 Five Forks 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 Five Forks 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 Five Forks 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.
