About: I have been pet sitting for a couple of years now, and I would say it’s one of my favorite things to do. Most of my gigs have consisted of overnight stays for usually about a week at a time or more. I have done mostly multi pet households, with both cats, dogs, and other exotic animals. I’ll even feed your chickens! I just love animals and pet sitting is one of my favorite hobbies. I’m new to the Rover app, but I am not new to pet sitting. I am currently getting my associates in early care and education while also working at a school. I’m only taking one night class so my days are pretty free for pet sitting! I only do work in clients homes, but I have experience putting dogs in crates or “pet proofing“ the house before I leave. I’m also very capable of giving medication to any animals that would need them and have a very watchful eye when I am at a clients house.
About: A pet is more than just a pet, they’re a part of the family. I’ve had many dogs over the years, so I understand how deep that love runs. I treat all pets like they are my own, and with over 15 years experience, you can be assured that your pet with be well taken care of. I am blessed to be able to own my own business, therefore work from my own on my own hours. Pet care fits into my schedule because it’s always been the highlight of my working day, and therefore I put as much if not more energy into taking care of your furry friends as I do my own. In our house we are all equal, and that includes pets. Your pets will get endless love, play time, exercise, and attention as needed. I am happy to make accommodations to suit your pets special needs, so that they are happy, comfortable and enjoying every minute.
About: I’m a Wilmington, NC native who made my way to Myrtle Beach by way of NYC! I offer both boarding and house sitting, and if there’s one thing you should know about me- dogs are a huge part of my life. I live with my girlfriend, and our home is chaotic in the best possible way. We have three pups of our own and are active fosters with All 4 Paws Animal Rescue in Pawleys Island. We’ve fostered 20 dogs in 2026 alone, so trust me when I say, very little fazes us! Puppies, medications, quirky bedtime routines, escape artists, special needs, endless energy—you name it, we’ve probably experienced it, and we love it all. Our home has a large yard with a secure, 6-foot fence, giving pups plenty of room to run, play, and explore. After nearly 10 years in a high-stress corporate career, I was recently affected by a mass layoff and am embracing some much-needed time off. The silver lining? I now have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your furry family members! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’m more than happy to provide references from All 4 Paws rescue staff, as well as previous pet-sitting clients, upon request. Thanks so much for reading! I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pups! 🐾 I am home 24/7, outside of a few errands and outings, to be with your pet! We have a large fenced yard and frequent the dog park. I live with my partner and our 3 animals. We have a giant fenced yard and a room dedicated to the animals (crates, and litter box,etc.) Dogs are never unattended together- when we do leave the house for errands our dogs are crated.
“Jo-Anne was the perfect match for Holly. This was my first Rover experience and I will re-book with Jo-Anne again. She was prompt, communicated well and spoiled Holly the entire week.”
“We were out of town for the weekend, and Miss Ashlyn took wonderful care of Fallon. She followed all of Fallon’s feeding and medication instructions, took her on walks, and kept us updated with messages and photos. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Fallon was in such caring and reliable hands. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup! We highly recommend Miss Ashlyn and would gladly trust her with Fallon again.”

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 Graves 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 Graves 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 Graves 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.
