âKatelyn was very communicative and organized in preparation to watch our three pups. She was prompt getting to our house and very loving towards our dogs. We plan to book with her again!â

âI appreciated Chasydi taking the time to visit my dog several times while we were away. We have an anxious puppy, and Chasydi was careful not to push her too much, but to let her get familiar with her. We also appreciated Chasydi keeping the house neat during her stay and during her in-and-out visits. She shared photos and reassured us that Ember was okay.â


About: I have been watching peopleâs 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.
âWe had an amazing experience with Jennifer!! Our pup so well taken care of. She took care of our dog, cats and home like it was her own! I highly recommend her for your next trip away! We have already booked again with her!â

About: My approach to pet care prioritizes keeping your animals nervous system regulated while changes happen to their daily life. You will receive thorough updates and assured peace of mind that your fur babies are in good hands! I own my own business so the time set aside for animal care is blocked off completely. Your animals will receive my undivided attention and you can rest assured that they are my top priority! Caring for animals in their home environment means allowing them to reduce the stress of changing environments. Let me come to you and your pets will thank you for it!
âMae did a wonderful job caring for Baxter while we were away. Communication was fantastic with many updates and photos. We highly recommend her and will book again!â

âthis was Lily's first opportunity to sit with Mikki and Maggie. The dogs seemed very happy and well cared for. Very pleased with Lily's care and attention to the dogs and will invite her to watch Mikki and Maggie again!â

âJoshua did amazing watching our two dogs. They are super energetic and playful and he was able to keep them worn out by the end of each day. He took very good care with their regimented feeding and sleeping schedule. Would definitely recommend.â

About: I've had animals most of my life from puppies to pound mutts and full blooded and senior dogs. I make sure to encourage play and positive training. I currently work from home so I spend lots of time with family pets, old roommate animals and friends pets. Lately it's been waking up to 3 small dogs my parents have. I make sure to follow any rules stated by the original owner. It can range from crate training, socialization, cleaning, walking or using the client's home.
About: Hello! My name is Isabel and I'm a Research Coordinator in the Psychiatry Department at UNC. I have taken care of animals for years. Have watched dogs, cats, and birds. Feel free to reach out and I can provide more information! I can watch your pets overnight at my house or at yours if you prefer. Have a lot of availability in the evenings and on weekends. I'm very flexible when it comes to how you'd like your pet to be watched. Every animal is different and has a unique set of needs.
âJulia 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. Sheâs responsible and very kind. We would definitely use her again!â

âKatelyn was phenomenal! She responded quickly and accepted our booking last minute after two other sitters canceled, was so accommodating to set up a meeting beforehand, gave prompt and detailed updates throughout our time away and went above and beyond to make sure our pup was comfortable. Couldnât recommend her more and will absolutely book her again and again! She took the best care of our pup!â
About: My family has always had pets, and I have two cats of my own. Iâve been known to pet sit for friends, family, and even coworkers. I currently work full time , so the best time for me to walk or sit would be the weekends and possibly evening, depending on circumstances. I just have cats right now, in a small apartment. I can only do sitting/walking from the pets home, and I always like to have detailed instructions on the typical care the pet receives, so I can provide comfortable and familiar care.
âMeg took such fantastic care of Dash, and left our home spotless. Weâve already booked her again for our next weekend away, and we look forward to her keeping Dash in the future!â

About: Iâve taken care of many types of dogs from a small chiweenie to a 100lb gentle giant. I have plenty of experience with all breeds too! Iâm currently working full-time but I work from home most days! I am available to drop in and walk your pets and also for house sitting any day of the week! I have a fur baby of my own and have taken care of plenty of other animals from family to friends. I would give your baby lots of love because thatâs what I would expect!
About: iâve loved being around dogs since i can remember. and with that comes the knowledge that every pet has their own needs and routine, and i take the time to learn that and make sure theyâre taken care of. I currently work full-time as a property manager. I am just doing this as a weekend gig, but i can work out something during the weekdays after 5pm! i care for every pet based on their individual needs, personality, and routine. while i am in the clients home, i make sure the fur babies receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh food and water, and lots of love.
âI don't even have the words to describe how amazing Carly was. I asked her last minute to stay in my apartment for three weeks and take care of my pup Fergie while I was away on a business trip. I was so anxious about having some at the apartment and about how Fergie would react while I was away but she did an awesome job. So many fun trips to the park, hiking, long walks and all with adorable pics of my pup. He probably lived a better life with her there than with me! I was so relieved to know Fergie had someone who would care for him so well while I was gone and when I came back, Fergie was happy, the apartment was clean, she even did laundry! When Carly left Fergie waited as the door and cried for her to come back. You could tell he truly bonded with her. I will absolutely be asking Carly to watch my pup again and would highly recommend her to anyone!â


About: Iâve taken care of large and small dogs for 5+ years for my own, neighbors, family, and friendsâŚwalking and feeding them, and bathing them when necessary. I work from home so I can pet sitting in your home and keep their routine consistent. I can do any day of the week. I take time to play with your pets in your home with their toys. Feed, Exercise, and snuggle them! I give them lots of love!
About: My parents realized I needed a dog in my life when I was child because I would try to pet my fish... ;) As a family we've had dogs since I was around 6 years old. I began dog-sitting for a neighbor when I was in middle school and that included helping care for two puppies when I was a bit older. Over the last few years my petsitting/housesitting relationships have steadily increased. I've helped friends by caring for their puppies, dogs, senior dogs, kittens, cats, and even a bird! Before I moved to NC I had keys for about 5 friends' homes since I am on standby for pet-sitting duties when they go out of town. My boyfriend and I are the proud parents of 1 dog, 2 cats, and 21 quail chicks! I am currently working 8:30am-5:00pm Monday-Friday in Holly Springs but hope my schedule works to care for your fur babies! I am typically very flexible during weekends. As someone who had an escape artist dog growing up I know the importance of safety, including keeping doors closed. I'm familiar with many different types of leashes, halters, Gentle Leader, even muzzles and am confident in using any your dog may utilize. I am also happy to crate your puppy/dog if needed.

FAQs for House Sitting - Goldston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 993 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Goldston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs 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 Goldston walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Goldston 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 Goldston 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.

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.
