“Hannah was fantastic! She took very good care of my two fur babies. She was a great communicator as well. There was a little glitch with her ability to get into my house, and Hannah remained calm and figured out the situation before I even had a chance to respond to her text. I highly recommend Hannah!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better friend for Honey! Lots of walks snuggles and play time. And pictures and videos showing just how well she was being cared for. 100% recommend Ronny for your pet sitting needs!!”
“This was the 2nd time Melisha watched our fur babies & our house while we were out of town, and just like the first time, she did an amazing job! She was super attentive & kept in touch with us multiple times throughout each day. She also sent pics of our dog & cat every time she communicated. She also handled a situation between our dog and an unexpected groundhog in the yard, like a champ. I would definitely recommend Melisha. She truly is a pro with regard to pet sitting!”
“Evan was wonderful with Mabel! He took such great care of her in our home, and his communication throughout gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a very happy, calm, and clearly well-loved Great Dane. ❤️ It was obvious Mabel enjoyed having him here! We would absolutely have Evan watch her again and highly recommend him!”
“Candace was fantastic with our two crazy dogs! They took to her right away at the meet and greet, which put our minds at ease. She watched them for 12 hours while we were at a family event, and they were happy, safe, and well cared for the whole time. It's clear she genuinely loves dogs and knows how to handle high-energy pups. We'll definitely be booking Candace again — highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.”
About: I have watched family members’ animals and my parents’ dogs while they are gone on vacation. Always made sure they have the love while their people are away! I currently work until 2pm and can easily come to your home and walk your animal or feed if needed. I can also offer weekends! I can easily crate your animal if needed. I can feed, give water, clean litter boxes, or walk your dog if you are unable to or just have a busy schedule!
About: Ever since I was a little girl, I've shared a deep connection with animals. I felt like an outcast a lot of my childhood but always felt like I could fully be myself around them. They understood me, and I understood them. Bonding with them has always come so naturally to me. My parents taught me the responsibility and care it takes from a young age. I grew up around many different cats, dogs, and other pets like hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, etc. I consider the 2 cats I have now, my children, and would actually goto war for them😅 They always get spoiled with treats, cuddles, and different kinds of cat enrichment. Im also experienced with pets who need extra care or are in their older ages. I used to have a persian who was was the runt of the litter. He was sick for his entire 12 years of living and needed more care than a normal cat like extra grooming, medication, vet visits, etc. Ive rescued quite a few kittens and helped nurse them in my lifetime, too! When it comes to dogs, I love to include them in everyday things like car rides, hikes, walks or a trip to Starbucks to get a pup cup! I think theyre all so precious in their own unique ways and get excited to learn their personalities and little quirks. My neighbors, friends, and family quite often have me watch their pets while theyre away. I know how scary it can be to trust a stranger with your pet, but you can be at peace knowing your furbabies will be safe and loved by me as if they are my own. I also love taking pictures so always expect some cute high quality photos of your furbaby while I care for them💖 I am between jobs right now so I have some time to provide full care as needed. Im pretty flexible when it comes to times as well, I can be up early or late and adjust to what the pet owner needs from me 🙂 I KNOW how scary it can be to leave your furbabies life in another person's hands, let alone a stranger. Know that safety and attention to details are top priority for me. I treat humans like id want to be treated and animals like I treat my own😊 I understand the importance of little things like not letting an indoor cat slip out of the door, keeping food out of reach, leash safety when out on walks, reading behavioral signs, etc. You can trust that your animals will be taken care of in the BEST way🤗
“Lauren was amazing with my shy girl Dolly. She responded quickly to last minutes needs for us to have her watch Dolly. She sent pictures as well to calm this momma's nerves. Would highly recommend Lauren!!!”
“Ariadne was a fabulous sitter for Thor! She’s super communicative, sent lots of photos and videos, and never let the little man get lonely. I didn’t have one moment of worry for him while we were out of town. It was so lovely having her in our home to keep our sweet boy company. I’ll definitely have her back for future sits!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats my entire life. I have pet sat for family and friends since I was a teenager. I have done a little of everything from potty breaks, walks, to over night stays. I do have a full-time job 9-5:30 but have time in the morning, evenings, and weekends. Also my job will have a remote option in 2027 give me more flexibility. I take the time to ask the best way to keep your pet safe and what a typical day looks like for your family. I can walk dogs, let them out into a yard, and crate them if needed. Nothing is too much for me I have been around a lot of pets with different needs.
About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner of a friendly mini golden doodle, I specialize in dog walking, pet sitting, feeding, and care. With experience caring for dogs of all sizes, I provide a safe and welcoming environment for your furry friend. Pet-friendly and full of love, I'll give your dog the attention and care they deserve! I'm currently working full time but Monday-Friday I'm available after 5. Depending on how early, I can do the morning on weekdays too. I’m available all day and night on weekends. When I am with your pet, it will be loved all the way until you return. There are already dogs that live with me, and they will learn to love your dogs. There isn't a fenced in area, but I always have the dogs on a leash and watch them carefully.
About: I have been watching dogs and cats full time since 2016. I am a housewife with 17years experience caring for my own dog. My children are animal lovers too. Right now we have a Central American Wood Turtle, a Leopard Gecko and Hermit Crabs. Also, in college I studied animal behavior. I love all animals and have had many different kinds of pets. I can watch farm animals such as chickens, ducks, goats,rabbits, and pigs. In addition, I can watch your pet at your place. I am trust worthy and neat. Finally, I am responsible and I will treat your dog like it is my own. Right now I am currently open from 5:40 to 9 pm. Please ask if you need to schedule a different time which most of the time I can be accommodating. I have a high fenced in yard that we check frequently. I can easily crate your dog if I go to walk other dogs or do drop in visits.
“Annalize is a great provider who demonstrates compassionate care for animals. We left three dogs, two cats, two chinchillas in her care for the weekend. One of the dogs is very elderly and needs a lot of hands on care. Annalize brought it, and kept everyone cool, comfy, fed, and happy. I would recommend her highly.”
“Melinda was great, she did housesitting and watched and loved my two boys. She communicated any questions and concerns she had and also sent pictures that made me feel comfortable being that this was my first time using rover. I will definitely be using her again in the near future”
About: I love taking dogs to the lake to play in the water, and walk along the beach. I don’t have a fenced in yard but it is big. I also have a horse field behind my house that I have permission to take animals in and play fetch in the field. My daughter loves animals and is very attentive to them and there needs. She is very careful when it comes to small dogs. I have a clean and smoke free home. I love sending pictures while your animals are in my care that way you know they are okay. They will get lots of interaction and love. I am such an animal lover. I also help with potty training. I can’t wait to meet new dogs. I hope to hear from you guys soon. Alllison Stoner
About: I’ve spent years caring for pets and homes for family, friends, and private clients, and I understand that both come with a real responsibility. When someone entrusts me with their home and animals, I take that trust seriously. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats, and I’m happy to follow established routines for feeding, walks, treats, medications, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ve cared for pets who need extra patience and consistency, including a young puppy who was still being potty trained. I also understand that every animal has its own personality and routine, and I make an effort to keep their life as normal and comfortable as possible while their people are away. My house-sitting experience goes well beyond simply being present in the home. I’ve cared for plants and gardens, watered lawns and operated sprinklers, brought in mail and packages, handled basic outdoor chores, and kept an eye on the property. I’ve also handled unexpected responsibilities, including meeting contractors, photographing completed work before authorizing payment, arranging appointments, receiving deliveries, and taking care of errands for homeowners while they were away. Communication is an important part of my approach. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos so homeowners can see that their pets and property are doing well. I know how reassuring it can be to see your dog happily lounging on the couch or your garden looking healthy when you're hundreds of miles away. As a freelance writer, I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to build pet care naturally into my day. I can structure my work around a pet’s routine rather than expecting a pet to fit around a traditional 9-to-5 schedule. Whether a pet needs morning or evening walks, regular meals, medication, playtime, or simply some companionship during the day, I have the flexibility to be there. I’m also able to spend extra time with pets who need more attention or have specific routines. I enjoy the rhythm of pet care and the opportunity to give each animal the consistency, attention, and companionship they’re accustomed to while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow their normal feeding, walking, playtime, medication, and bedtime routines, while giving them plenty of attention and companionship. Because I’m a freelance writer with a flexible schedule, I can devote time to pets who need more than a quick visit. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets, following special instructions, and adjusting to each pet’s personality and needs. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I give your pets. I keep things clean and secure, communicate regularly, and provide updates with photos and videos so you know your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I am a lover of all animals and will treat yours like my own. I was a Dog Trainer at Petsmart for 3 years. I have two dogs, two horses, and a cat of my own. We live on a farm that opens up to the woods so we love to exercise and we also love to hit the trails at Solider's Delight or the Westminster pond. All sizes and breeds are welcome. If they need special care or medication, I am also able to assist with that. If there's any other pets in the house, I am knowledgeable with most. You’re welcome to call and check in at any time, and you’ll receive text or email updates daily. I hope you will consider me in your search to find someone to care for your pet family. I work full time, but happy to help your family out with the furry, feathery, or scaling member of the family just like my own. Just like my own! I try to stay as organized as possible, so a list to go off of is preferred! I'm happy to spend time caring for your pet.
“We happily had Laurie spend a long weekend with our 2 dogs at our house and everything was great! She sent lots of photos of the dogs and they seemed very much like they enjoyed themselves. She even got my picky dog to eat. Respectful with the house and we returned to happy dogs and a clean house.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently have two pugs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your pets. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s personality and routine. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, medications, senior dogs, and giving pets extra attention and affection while their owners are away. I also work in hospice care, so being compassionate, calm, and reliable comes naturally to me. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure you feel updated and reassured while you’re gone. I work full time during the week from 9am–6:30pm, but pet care fits naturally into my routine since I already care for my two pugs daily. I’m available for evening visits/walks on weekdays and have much more flexibility on weekends for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I pay close attention during walks and outdoor time, especially in hot weather, and I never leave dogs outside longer than they should be. I make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean environment, and close supervision to keep them safe from anything that could bother or harm them. I’m also very mindful about keeping floors and spaces clear of anything pets could get into or accidentally swallow. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your animals, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d want for my own

FAQs for House Sitting - Five Points
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 805 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Five Points. 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 Points 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 Points 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 Points 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Five Points. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
