“We had an amazing experience with Alivia and would recommend her to everyone looking for a dog sitter! She took such good care of our dog while we were gone. He’s kind of anxious around new people and she was so kind and patient with him, she sent us videos of him wagging his tail and being goofy :)”
“McKenna was amazing! This was my first time leaving my pups home for the weekend and having someone come house sit. McKenna helped put my mind at ease when we did the meet and greet. One of my pups left an unexpected surprise (my pup threw a tantrum and destroyed a furniture) for McKenna and she was so nice and cleaned it up for me. I came home to happy pups and I would recommend her. I’d have her back!”
“Desiree & Tyler took amazing care of our pup and house for several days. They are knowledgeable, friendly, personable, and professional. We have already booked them again for a trip we are taking in a couple months. Anyone fortunate enough to engage them will be well served. Your pet(s) will be well cared for, and your property will be treated as if it was their own. We look forward to a long relationship with Desiree and Tyler.”
“Candace was great! My husband and I just moved to the area and we’ve never had a non-family member take care of our fur kids. Needless to say I was nervous! Candace did an amazing job communicating with us before and throughout her stay. From her daily pictures we could see she kept the kids on their routine and they seemed to be so happy while we were away. We will definitely book Candace again for our next trip!”

About: I have been to go to pet sitter in my neighborhood all of my life. I've dealt with one neighbor's dog in particular who is a difficult dog and requires medication. Pet care is always my number one priority because if someone was taking care of my dog, I would want the same level of care that I provide. I like to learn and also know the routine of the animal I'm watching to best fit their needs and learn or change when necessary.
“We had Aoife watch our pup today for the first time while we went on a day trip. He had some medical needs and we were pretty worried about leaving him, especially with someone new. Aoife could not have been more amazing- if you’re anxious about leaving your fur kid, she’s the one. She sent so many updated and pictures and was able to give him his medicine without issue. Way more than five stars for our new pup sitter!”
About: hi there! Im Dylan and I can't wait to meet you and your pet. I became a pet sitter because I adore dogs, and I can't have one of my own right now so I'm here to give lots of love and attention to yours! I'm very understanding of dogs that are a little more anxious, and provide them with a calm presence during the stay. Your pet is your family, and I understand what it's like to be away from them, even if you're off doing something fun. I'm responsible, creative, and have been described as an old soul. I love meeting new people and dogs-and being a part of a thriving community. When your dog is with me, they'll get lots of one on one attention, and lots of love ! Im currently free anytime any day during the week. So whatever works for you is great to me. Monday through Friday even weekends are fine. I provide safe, and fun interactions with all pets I look after. I am respectful of all pet owners and their pets and am able to follow any specific care instructions set forth. I'm currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time playing with your pups! And updating you on how the sitting is going ! I have no fenced yard. But well enough of space to keep your pup occupied and having fun ! Friendly neighborhood safe environment for your pup !
About: I’ve always had pets of my own as well as taking care of friends and families pets. I love my babies and will care for yours as if they were my own! I currently am working part time selling shoes and getting ready to move out on my own! I am available early mornings and afternoon/evenings depending on the day, but my availability is mostly open to squeeze you in! I can work to care for your pets, big or small, and work through their behaviors and routines to keep their living space the same as if they were cared for by you.
About: I am extremely detailed oriented and very observant. I sense when animals need something different and will always tend to their needs first over anything. I can chill with them or play forever and anything in between. I work 5-6 days a week with and average of 6 hours a day. My schedule is pretty set to only working mornings and being off work around 11am to 12:30pm. After that I am free and available! I am more than able to be in your home and you never question that I was there. I leave places cleaner than what I found them and make sure all the boxes were checked that are expected of me.
“Erin was AMAZING! We are so thankful to of found and worked with her. She took such good care of our pups. One senior and one adult dog plus a cat. She made them feel at peace while we were away and couldn't of asked for a better outcome. Will work with her again.”

I am familiar with reward based potty training for puppies I am currently working from home and have plenty of time to play with, walk, check in on pets. I love to explore new neighborhoods for walks I have two cats who get along well with everyone, and in watching pets on others homes they are self sufficient for hours to be able to spend time caring for pets.
“Rachel is amazing! Her calm nature and constant communication was our saving grace and hers, since our youngest dog had separation anxiety at first. I appreciate everything she did to help the dogs relax a trust her abilities.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 20 years and genuinely love caring for animals. I have experience with both dogs and cats, including senior pets, and I’m comfortable giving medications and following detailed care instructions. I’m a true animal lover—the highlight of my day is getting to pet a dog I meet or having the neighbor cat stop by for a visit! At home, we have a corgi and three cats of our own, so I understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also a longtime professional nanny and family assistant, so I have many years of experience being trusted in other people’s homes. I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s normal routine. I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, fresh water, litter box care, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, medication when needed, and photo updates during my visits. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! Pet care fits really well into my daily routine! I work as a nanny/family assistant, and now that the children I care for are in school, I have plenty of daytime availability for dog walks and drop-in visits. My schedule allows me to be flexible throughout the day, which is especially helpful for pets who need a midday walk, potty break, meal, medication, or just some company while their family is away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I have many years of experience working in clients’ homes and understand the trust that comes with caring for both your pets and your home. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I’m respectful of each pet’s personality and boundaries, and I’m happy to send photos and updates so you know they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.

We have already booked them again for a trip we are taking in a couple months. Anyone fortunate enough to engage them will be well served.

Amazing! She took care of my babies like her own and kept my home. Ana kept great communication and kept me updated throughout my trip. Sent me photos of the kitties and spend some quality time with them outside. Followed all my instructions and provided medication for one of my kitties.
We had a great meet-and-greet with Josh before our first booking for him to stay with our young yellow Lab. Josh showed up promptly and took our instructions well, which gave us confidence and comfort in booking him to stay with our dog in our home. Josh was a great communicator during our time away and was very observant of things that needed attention in our home. He kept our active Lab very busy each day with walks and many sessions of ball retrieving. He also kept our outdoor potted plants watered during the hot days we are having and filled our fountain. We couldn’t say enough good things about Josh and look forward to using his services again!
We have hired Addie before and greatly appreciate her! She is reliable, responsible and took care of our senior dogs, home and garden so we could take a worry-free vacation. She communicates well, left our house clean, and followed the directions we left for her. We look forward to hiring Addie again!
Blue took excellent care of our pets, including 3 exotic pets. They sent us lots of pictures of our babies. When I got home, I noticed changes in food and supply (and hand soap) levels/amounts consistent with that of my normal care- evidence that Blue was paying as much attention to our pets as we do! Blue had excellent communication with us, and they left our home clean and orderly. We had a great experience with Blue, and we will request them again!
I had a sitter have to cancel super short notice and Daphne absolutely saved us! I have 3 very spoiled boy cats who are all in different stages of life (kitten - adult - senior) and she was able to follow specific instruction without issue. It was much easier relaxing on my trip knowing my boys where in good hands ☺️

The average cost of House Sitting in Hayesville is $31 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $53 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Hayesville 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 Hayesville 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 Hayesville 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
