“Brooke is really great with dogs! Boone seems to really like her. She sent us pictures of him throughout the day and was very responsive when we had a question. She’s flexible with your schedule and needs and does a lot to accommodate your pups needs. She slept with our pup each night.”
“Mary was absolutely wonderful!! We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience. She has such a calm, reassuring presence that immediately put us and our dogs at ease. Even our shy pup, Kosita, warmed up to her fast. Our senior dog Natty has high needs (she is partially deaf, blind, diabetic, and requires insulin twice daily) and Mary handled everything with confidence and care. She kept us updated with photos and thoughtful check-ins, especially around Kosita’s eating. She was incredibly patient and even helped us discover a new trick to get her to eat. We came home to a clean house, a scooped yard, and happy pups. Most importantly, we were actually able to relax while away, which says everything. Trusting someone with our babies felt impossible at first, but we’re so grateful we found Mary. We’ve already asked her to pencil us in for our next trip and would highly recommend her… especially for pets that need extra care. Thank you !!”
About: I have been pet sitting for about 7 years and it has always been something to take pleasure in. I have a very soft spot for your fur babies. I will keep you updated as often as you'd like throughout the day everyday, send pictures, and communicate with you directly. I am easily taught any extra needs your pet will need! I currently live at home with my family and two furry babies! Often I spend time with Willow and Ellie (those are their names), and help out my family taking care of them by feeding them and walking them. I absolutely adore seeing an animal get excited and happy, it just makes my heart flutter. My routine is very flexible when it comes to fur babies, they deserve all the care in the world! If I am needed at your house (preferably) that is no worries, I am willing to stay over night, and do absolutely anything at all needed! I don’t mind at all driving out of the way either, never feel like you’re too far!
“Michelle cared for my 2 fur babies (Shih Tzus) for a week. She kept in constant contact via text, pictures and went out of her way to allow me and them to feel comfortable. My home was just as I left it, sparkling clean. I would definitely request her again!!!”
About: I have worked in animal shelters. I have rescued stray and abused animals and helped located their owners and if I couldn't I kept them until they were ready to find a home. I am currently taking college courses to become an animal cop I want to continue to save the abused and neglected animals. I treat my pets like family. I have helped animals including babysitting in my home and at the residents for 18 years. I have worked at the animal shelter and volunteered there. My passion for animals has never changed. My kids also love animals. They have sat and watched animal cops with me and they say to me mommy we need to help them they need a family. It's sweet seeing my kids feeling the same passion as I do. I am a stay at home mom I do babysit kids during the week. I make sure all dogs get exercise while in my home. I have one 12 year old dog I allow all the animals to free roam unless I start seeing some aggression then I do separate bathroom times and things.
“We recently had the pleasure of having Patty as our dog sitter for our two pets while we were away for an event over two days, and we couldn't be more pleased with her service. Patty was absolutely amazing with our dogs. She kept us up to date with regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Not only did she take excellent care of their basic needs, but she also kept them entertained and happy throughout her stay. It was evident that she truly loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. We highly recommend Patty to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter!”
“Josh was super amazing with our pups! I felt very much at ease going out of town knowing they were in good hands. :) He sent pictures throughout the weekend and had very good communication. I will definitely recommend to family and friends and will look forward to using his services in the future if he is available. :)”
About: My father owned a pet care business in New Jersey but now that I've moved to North Carolina I'm ready to continue doing what I love by myself. I plan on making this my full time job, I currently work remote so I am free any time of the day any day of the week 😁. My care is fully respectful of my clients wishes, pets will never be over or under fed, they will have plenty of exercise and play time and the house will always be clean when I'm done.
“Jylesha took excellent care of my two dogs and my home while I was away for two weeks. She shared lots of updates and photos which gave me peace of mind, and when I returned home I could tell right away that my fur babies were not stressed as they sometimes are after a long absence. They clearly felt safe and loved. I have an older cattle dog and a young energetic pittie. They both took to Jylesha immediately when she came for a meet and greet, and she was very attentive to their different needs during her stay. I would highly recommend Jylesha for anyone needing a caring and responsible pet sitter.”
About: I’ve been a volunteer with my local humane society for 10 years. I’ve also fostered many animals including cats, dogs, small animals and reptiles. I love going above and beyond for all my clients and will always be there when needed. It would be a privilege to be able to take care of your fur baby! I work 3 days a week during nights at a hospital, so during all days I’m free to care for your fur babies. I also am on a shift schedule where I get 6 days off in a row every other week, which makes my schedule very flexible. I have a 2 acre yard that your fur babies can play in. I also have a very friendly German Husky who loves to play with other animals. She is dog and cat friendly. I am able to crate your fur baby if they are used to that, or they may free roam my home.
“Daniel did a great job with our two boys. We have one who requires a lot of work because he is anxious, and the worst he did was eat a couple of paper napkins, which is a minor miracle. We really appreciated Daniel's dedication to them, and we would definitely hire him again.”

“HIGHLY recommend Kassie! We is winderful. She took excellent care of our cats, dogs, chickens, and our home while we were away. Everything was well taken care of, and we came home to happy pets and a clean, cared-for house. She was responsible, communicative, and clearly treated our animals like her own. We would absolutely have her house sit for us again and highly recommend her!”
About: Hey, I’m Cassidy! I worked as a Veterinary Assistant for over 5 years before transitioning into pet sitting full time, and I’ve cared for animals my entire life. Between my vet assistant background, my own pets, and years of hands-on pet care, I’m comfortable caring for pups and kitties of different ages, sizes, personalities, routines, and medical needs. I currently offer house sitting and drop-in visits, so your pets can stay comfortable in their own home while still getting the care, attention, and routine they’re used to. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, meals, medication, snuggles, potty breaks, or just a calm presence while you’re away, I’ll do my best to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and your home. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions, keep you updated with photos and messages, and help with small home tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, or keeping things tidy while you’re gone. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets. I want them to feel like their routine stayed familiar, their needs were met, and they had a friend looking out for them the whole time. Feel free to reach out with any questions or details about your pet’s routine- I’d love to learn more about them and see if we’d be a good fit! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. For house sitting, I’m able to spend plenty of time with your pets in their own home and keep their routine as normal as possible. For drop-in visits, I make sure each visit includes whatever your pet needs most — meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication, litter box care, or just some extra love and attention. I do step out for errands, appointments, and occasional outings, but I always plan my schedule around the pets in my care and their specific needs. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently house sitting and drop-in visits and I love that this allows pets to stay in their familiar environment, stick to their normal routines, and feel more comfortable while their people are away. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely and treat your space with respect. I’m mindful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding routines, medications, and any house rules you have in place. During outdoor time, I always keep a close eye on pets, whether we’re going for a walk, having supervised yard time, or taking a quick potty break. My goal is to keep your pets safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind with updates along the way.
“Julia did an amazing job pet sitting the weekend of our wedding! She gave us updates on how our dogs were doing and left our house very clean when she left. She’s responsible and very kind. We would definitely use her again!”
“Marcia was fantastic! She arrived promptly for our meet and greet, took notes, sent pictures throughout our weekend trip, and helped manage a Rover error. I really appreciated the pictures, Marcia's enthusiasm, and perfect implementation (plus some!)”

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 Four Oaks 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 Four Oaks 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 Four Oaks 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.

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.
