“I am a bit OCD about my boy, who also happens to be a big baby who can't eat, poo or pee if left at boarding. Anthony was great. He provided me with pics and updates and proved to be a great sitter for my pup. Thanks!”

“Savanna took great care of our dog Herschel! She sent us tons of photos and updates and was very easy to communicate with while we were away. We'd strongly recommend her and would have her watch him again in a second.”

“We 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!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 11 years old. Neighbors and friends have trusted me with their cats and dogs. I provide personalized care, help reinforce routines and basic training for puppies, and offer patient, gentle support for senior pets, including medication and extra supervision. I have a pretty flexible schedule, working as a nanny some days during the day and sometimes at night! I am about to graduate from high school so I am pretty much free everyday! I provide reliable and caring pet care by following each pet’s regular feeding, exercise, and medication routines. I make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention. I monitor their behavior and health, communicate with owners as needed, and ensure pets feel safe and comfortable whether in my home or a client’s home. I also have two dogs myself so I’m aware of an everyday routine.
“Ella was fantastic! She was dependable and spent a lot of time with our dogs playing outside. We came home to happy, well taken care of dogs! I would absolutely trust my fur-babies with her again.”

“Nicole was outstanding. She was very professional and easy to work with. My dog Memphis was recovering from kennel cough, I was very comfortable leaving Memphis and my house in Nicole’s care. I will be requesting Nicole again and highly recommend her to others. Overall my experience with Rover.com was excellent.”


“Natallia was great with Duck! She was very communicative and made sure both Duck and I were comfortable when I had to leave! I will definitely work with Natallia in the future and highly recommend her!”

“Kelsey was a delightful house sitter for my cats and dog. They seemed to delight in each other. She was very communicative and respectful of my home and asked questions when necessary. She had a handful with my crew and handled it all very well. Would recommend and use her again.”

“Keara was responsive when I reached out. I do wish we had gotten more updates on our critters, but they were fed, watered, and let out on a regular schedule during her stay.”


“It was great that Maria made the time to do a meet & greet prior to taking care of my dogs for a few days! I got lots of pictures while my pups were cared for, & they were happy & healthy when I got back!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have one of my own, I am great at being active with them and would love to dog sit or dog walk for you. I have plenty of references, and would love to watch your dog babies and treat them like my own for how every long you need. I currently work part time so I have lots of time to spend with your animals and can stay with them as much as they need! We have a big fenced in area for our dogs, and take them on car rides and to the dog park, they love being outside!
“Bre was a fantastic pet sitter and house sitter. Kind, proactive and responsible! She was a great communicator and sent lots of sweet photos - I know that Cha Cha was in very good hands. Highly recommend, would hire again!”

“Jazzie gets the Oscar for house sitting my pack of 4 Male beasts ranging from 28lbs. to 85 lbs. This was MY first time using Rover.com or any kind of service, so I was stressed, mega stressed. Jazzie knew their names within a few minutes of meeting them, learned their nicknames. I got updates and pics and a video. Dogs were safe, loved and house was in one piece when I returned. Highly recommend - just don’t book her when I NEED her?”


About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and the experience I've gained caring for them over the years. I've been dog sitting for several years and have cared for dogs for multiple friends, family members, and coworkers. Throughout college, I also fostered dogs, providing them with a safe, loving home while they waited to be adopted. In addition, I volunteered at my local animal shelter, where I worked with dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also completed a fitness dog walking course through the shelter, which taught me safe handling techniques and best practices for enjoyable, safe walks. After losing my childhood dog, spending time with and caring for other dogs has been incredibly meaningful and has only strengthened my passion for pet care. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make each pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or needs a little extra patience and attention, I'll treat them with the same care and affection I would my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care, whether that's walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications if needed, or simply providing companionship. Throughout college, I fostered dogs, giving them a safe and loving environment while they waited for their forever homes. I also volunteered at my local animal shelter and completed a fitness dog walking course, which gave me additional experience handling dogs safely and confidently during walks. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and I'm committed to making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they're in my care. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to keep them comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special care they need. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while respecting the client's home and keeping it clean and secure. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel confident and at ease while they're apart.

“Hanna was responsive, keeping in touch with me which was much appreciated. She took good care of my elderly dog and even let him sleep with her. The house was clean when we returned. All went well!”

“Vanessa did an OUTSTANDING job watching our pups. She was very attentive, played and exercised them regularly, and really put in extra effort to ensure we felt comfortable leaving them in her care. She took some amazing pictures of them playing out back and sent them to us regularly to give us peace of mind. We came home from our vacation to two very happy dogs. We highly recommend Vanessa and will be requesting her services again!”

About: I've had animals in my house for over 20 years. Spanninng a cockatiel, a cat, five dogs and my clown fish who are going on 18 years old. Once, I drove the bird into the Tuft's vet school in a blizzard on a weekend night. Another time I took one of the clown fish into the Tufts satellite clinic on a Sunday because he hadn't eaten for days. Both pets lived to tell their tale. Cats are great, I love how they set the rules :) But dogs are where my heart is, especially Airedales, and rescue dogs are a labor of love! My priorities start with my pet family, unless I'm taking care of yours. Then, your pets become my priority. I work from home most of the time and that allows me to have the ultimate flexibility in my schedule so that I can care for your pets as appropriate, on their time. I've raised my dog training game significantly over the past few years, attending regular sessions with my trusted trainer, Baptiste. Our work has focused on highly reactive dogs and also puppy training. Like kids, pets can do no wrong. I do not get upset with them, I just clean the mess ;)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,769 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Haywood. 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 Haywood 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 Haywood 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 Haywood 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.
