“Morgan is fantastic! She’s watched our Hazel twice now and has been wonderful each time. Hazel has some separation anxiety so leaving her when we travel can be stressful. But not with Morgan around! Hazel has a good time too!”
“Mehlayne made herself available last minute to take care of our little Lupo. She was punctual, kind, respectful, and communicative while we were away. She followed all of our care instructions etc. etc. It is obvious that Lupo was restless while we were gone (because he’s passed out now) but Mehlayne said she tried very hard to make Lupo comfortable. We would certainly consider hiring her in the future.”
“I cannot recommend Chris highly enough. He was professional and kind. When we did our meet and greet my dogs were in love with him from the get go. He went above and beyond while looking after them. He sent me numerous pictures, took them on long walks (even though he didn’t have to) and let me know when one of my dogs meds was starting to run low. Chris is a rockstar and I am looking forward to working with him in the future”
“Mikayla is the sweetest. We have found our forever dog sitter. She must have that special touch! Usually when we travel our pups won’t eat for a day or two, they were very comfortable with her , ate right from the start She’s wonderful”
“Lee was absolutely phenomenal. I have two very nervous dogs and he put them both at ease immediately. He kept my home clean and tidy during his stay and my dogs were very well cared for. I’d give Lee 10 stars if I could”
“Bella was great with our pets and communication was effortless. Would definitely entrust our pups to her again. I received updates and pictures throughout the day and everyone looked happy!”
“Zia was very professional and our 2 pups were immediately at ease around her which is always a great sign. She gave consistent updates with cute pics, took great care of our pups including giving allergy meds, and left our house spotless. We would definitely recommend and will use her again when we travel!”
“Jessie was amazing. She took such great care of all 3 of our dogs and sent updates/pictures every time she went over to care for our dogs. We will absolutely be using her again!”
“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!!”
“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”
“Ted was absolutely awesome! We always feel so comfortable leaving Waylon at home when we are out of town because we know Ted has him in the best of care! He is super responsive and always sends pictures each day of the adventures that they had. We are so thankful to have him!”
“Crystal watched my dog for a couple days while I was out of town. She was very communicative and sent me updates. She followed all my instructions as my dog is older and has some special needs. I had a flight delay and she even offered to come back to take him out. I can tell she loves animals. I would book her again.”
“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!”
“Katherine was available on short notice, and very accommodating. She took good care of my three great Danes and they seemed very comfortable with her. I will surely call on her services again! Thank you Katherine!”
“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 $40.04 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 956 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Five Forks. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
