“Elena is very gentle and calm with our elderly dog with severe separation anxiety. Yet, our younger, playful, enthusiastic dog is very happy with her, as well. She is knowledgeable about dogs and their needs, and prompt and responsible. Thank you to Elena for taking such good care of our pups! We will definitely hire her again!”
“Mara was fabulous with Wags. She paid close attention to what he needed and how he was doing. Communication with her was easy from booking through the visit. Will definitely use her again.”
“Jennifer is a very knowledgeable and responsible dog sitter. I was very pleased with the care for my dog, her understanding of how to handle a pup, and her leaving the house is immaculate condition. I was very impressed and pleased. I hope that she will housesit and dog sit for us again!”
“Patricia watch our two dogs Dora and Spark for over a week. This was the first time we had Patricia as our house/dog sitter and we will definitely request her services again. Patricia sent us pictures and kept us updated about the dogs. She promptly answered any of my emails and contacted us if she had any questions. Patricia also watered plants, feed the fish, and picked up the mail. The house was in perfect condition when we returned. I highly recommend Patricia.”
“Daysi house sat for my 2 dogs for 2 days and did a wonderful job! She was great during the meet and greet and took the time to listen about things about the dogs personalities and routines. She did a great job with the dogs and I would have her back again!”
“Destini took care of my baby for 8 days. Sandy has separation anxiety and I can’t bear to leave her on a boarding facility that long. I have found Destini’s profile here in Rover. Messaged her and we immediately set up a time and date for a meet and greet. Sandy warmed up to her pretty fast. Plus, Destini is very patient, very professional and I can feel that Sandy will be in good hands with her. I have peace of mind all throughout my trip. Thank you so much Destini! 💕”
“Kayla was wonderful and I will most definitely look for her in the future! She was very professional and was kind enough to extend her time to accommodate unexpected travel issues and make sure that Charlie was cared for. Thank you again Kayla!”
About: I’ve been petsitting for dogs and cats ever since I was younger for family friends. I’m currently studying Animal Care Management and Technology in college. I love all sorts of animals and love caring for them! I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities, including taking them on walks, feeding and giving lots of attention! I am dependable, patient and committed to making sure every pet feels comfortable and loved while their parents are away. Right now I dogsit for my job! I have full availability so I can give your pets unlimited attention, personalized care and lots of affection. I’m happy to take your dog on walks, feeding them at their regular times and playing with them lots too of course! I try to keep your pets routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress while you’re away.
“Susan was amazing with our animals. She was so communicative and sent us pictures and updates everyday. Our four pets were well taken care of for the week. This is the first time my wife and I had to both travel for work at the same time. Susan took the job last minute and bonded with all the animals right away. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
“Amy was amazing and I am confident she treated my 2 dogs and 2 cats better than I do. She got one of my dogs to chase a ball, which I have never been able to do. She stayed with mu furry clan and I returned to an immaculate house. I could not recommend Amy enough and will definitely request her again.”
“I highly recommend Dennise for her strong attention to detail, love shown to my animals and for being in consistent contact with me throughout my time away from home. She kept my house tidy! It is very clear she loves animals and cares for her clients wants/needs. I would use her again.”
About: I have lots of experience with pet care. I grew up with big dogs, cats, and chickens and have been pet sitting since I was a kid. I have cared for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, turtles and fish and am comfortable with a wide range of animals. I have experience with live-in and drop-in care and am comfortable with basic pet needs including feeding, walking, nail trimmings, basic training, etc. I am flexible and can adjust how much time I am present depending on the family/pets needs. I have reliable transportation and currently have a flexible schedule. I am ok with late nights. I can stay in the home or just visit depending on the pets needs. I can take your pet on walks, play with them at home, bring them to a park, etc. I can follow a training regiment and provide food and consistent care.
“Chevaughn did an amazing job! One of my dogs (Toffee) is 'very' skittish & does not warm up to new people well (it often takes weeks - sometimes months - for people just to be able to pet her). However, when we did the first meet & greet, Toffee was curious & got close enough to sniff him, which I thought was a great sign. But then... Chevaughn was actually able to pet her before leaving. She was wary, but let him. It kinda shocked me a bit. We had met with 2 other potential sitters & Toffee wouldn't get near them. With one of them, she wouldn't even come inside the house from the yard, not even for a treat, so long as the lady was there. Chevaughn has great energy, though. He was calm & assertive, moved gently around Carlee & Toffee, and they both became fast friends with him. While we were away, he even sent video of her licking his hand. That was a huge deal... Chevaughn was reliable, on time, consistent & most importantly, he is kind. Next time we need a sitter, he's our guy and I highly recommend him for taking care of your pups..”
About: Hi! I'm Julie! While new to the pet/housesitting world, I have taken care of dogs, cats and horses since childhood. I've also been a human caregiver. I'm a retired RN of 35+ years who also worked in veterinary medicine as a vet assistant for 5 years. My love of animals has persuaded me to pursue a career of providing care to your furry family members. My preferred fur clientele would be mature adult/senior small dogs or cats (kittens or adults) who prefer to stay in their own familiar surroundings. As the mom of a special needs dog (epilepsy) I'm well versed in giving medications and providing seizure care. With owner direction and observation of administration, I would feel comfortable administering injections. Whether your pet is into sedate leash walks, snuggles, belly rubs or prefers self entertainment with toys or observing the outside world, I'm happy to oblige. My schedule is generally very flexible and my goal is to take care of your fur babies and your home as if they were my own. I'm currently working as a contract nurse and am able to set my schedule on a monthly basis. This allows flexibility for your sitting needs. I have 3 furry family members of my own. I have 2 standard poodles inside and a tuxedo longhaired cat that's in and out. All have been spayed and receive regular vet care. One of the poodles is special needs due to epilepsy and is on multiple medications daily to prevent seizures. I will care for your pet in your home as if they were my own.
“Gabe is a nice man with a great heart for your pet(s). He communicates well and delivers on his promises. I feel I can trust him again to take care of my fur family of five.”
“Pilar was incredible! Exactly what we needed for our elderly dog. Our house was pristine when we came home and she updated us throughout the trip. Will absolutely be booking her again!”
About: I have some experience taking care of dogs. I once pet sit two cats and two to four dogs for one neighbor. Other than feeding dogs and checking water, I am open to walking small to medium-sized dogs. I currently work full time, Monday through Thursdays from 2:00pm to 12:30am. I am available for pet care before noon on weekdays, and all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I used to have one senior cat in my apartment in which my main duties were feeding it, checking her water, scooping her litter box, and most importantly playing with her.
About: I have many years of experience with working with animals - whether its with my own or in a professional setting. I am not limited to the animals I can care for. I have worked for a boarding/doggie day care for 2+ years that required me to take care of all different sizes and breeds of dogs. I also have 3 fur babies myself - Penelope, Bear, and Chewbacca ( AKA Chewy) So, I can assure you the best care for your fur baby! My availability would be in the morning before 7:00am and the evening time after 5:00 pm I currently have a full-time job but do plan on doing Rover/Pet Sitting full-time in the near future! So stay tuned!! To ensure the safety of your fur baby- If they are at my home I have a designated area in my home with a dog gate that can separate your fur baby from mine if needed. Also, ask for all Vet info - just to have on file.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Haw River
Can’t say enough good things about Sarah! My dog and all three of my cats absolutely adored her. Even my most reserved cat warmed up to her almost immediately and it was clear when I came home they had all been spoiled with love in our week away. She also left the house immaculate and made it so easy to come home from a late flight to a spotless house. Sarah definitely has a way with animals and I can’t recommend her enough to others looking for someone trustworthy and dependable. We will definitely be calling her for our future trips!
Daysi was AMAZING! This was our first time using Rover and Daysi put us at ease. She made sure we were comfortable and in the loop our whole trip sending updates and photos the whole time. We have an energetic pup and she went out of her way to make sure he got the enrichment he needs. 100/10 recommend ⭐️

FAQs for House Sitting - Haw River
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Haw River on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,397 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Haw River. 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 Haw River 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 Haw River 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 Haw River 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.

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.
