“Ben is amazing sitter for our Rufus!!! He is constantly interacting with Rufus, working with him on sitting, heeling. He is following our schedule for Rufus , Ben really cares about his individualized care needs. We had a bad experience at a local kennel and thanks to Ben we are completely comfortable to leave Rufus in his very capable hands. Ben has also introduced Rufus to his own furbaby, Mara. We absolutely love little Mara , Rufus has 2 new friends now!!! We highly recommend Ben and Mara for house sitting services 🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🥰🎉”

“Carrie was attentive to the needs of my furbabies and sent me picks to cheer me up when things with my trip had gone awry. Indiana and Georgie loved her and I was comfortable leaving my puppies with Carrie, which I have been reticent to do for many years. I usually take them where ever I go in a car, but could not on a plane. She also soothed my fears about possible damage to my home during hurricane Helene. Thank you Carrie for bing so sweet to my guys.”
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish during middle school and high school as well as during breaks during college. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their animals from as little as a weekend to as much as 2 weeks at a time. I am currently a teacher in Catawba county and have plenty of time in the mornings before school, late afternoons after school, and evening time frames to take care of animals. I do not currently have a pet-friendly residence, but I am capable of walking, feeding, and playing with animals at their homes and within their neighborhoods.
“Dana wooed all seven of our animals who warmed to her immediately. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! She took such wonderful care of our dogs and kitties and treated them like they were her own. She is incredibly personable, kind, and an absolute sweetie—and our animals absolutely loved her! She kept us updated on how everyone was doing, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious how comfortable and happy our pets were with her. We would absolutely trust her with our fur babies again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, dependable, and genuinely wonderful with animals! ❤️🐾”

“We couldn’t be happier with our pet sitter! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and sweet with all of our pets. From the beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable knowing that our animals were in such loving and capable hands. Charlie was our biggest concern because she can be a little sensitive and needs extra patience and attention, but our sitter went above and beyond to make sure she felt safe, comfortable, and loved. She took the time to understand Charlie’s personality and needs, gave her so much care and affection, and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was also wonderful with our cats, making sure they were cared for, comfortable, and getting the attention they needed. It was clear that she truly loves animals and treats them like family. She was reliable, thoughtful, communicative, and genuinely kind. We are so grateful for the care she gave Charlie, our cats, and our home. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!”


“This was my first time using Iliana as a sitter for our pitbull, Jackson. I will definitely be booking her again. When we returned from vacation we had a happy dog, and a clean house. She was very attentive to Jackson, and sent several photos every day.”

About: Over the years, I've taken care of a few different animals. I've watched chickens, horses, dogs, and cats for my grandparents while they were away. I've also had experience with dogs with disabilities. I have two German Shepherds; one is blind, and the other has joint issues. My love for my pets is infinite, and I promise I'll share that love with your pets. My future pursuit is to study veterinary medicine. I work at an animal hospital from 8am to 5:30pm. My weekends annd evenings after work are free giving me an opportunity to spend all day with your fur babies. Your pet safety is a priority. In no way will I put your pet in any danger, I’ll do as you instruct, I’ll follow your food guidelines, medicine, etc. as for your home I do not plan on doing anything other than what you tell me to do, I won’t go in places I’m not allowed and if I make a mess somewhere I’ll immediately clean it up. In conclusion I will treat your home like it’s my own and I will most definitely love your dog and care for them the way I love and care for mine.
“Natisha was wonderful! It was a last minute need and she was able to help us out and watch our dog. She sent updates and pictures daily so I knew my dog was in great hands with her. Will definitely use her again!”

About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years, starting with walking neighborhood dogs and growing into house sitting and boarding. I’ve also had dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m experienced with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or sticking to their routine, I treat every pet like my own and give them plenty of attention and care! I’m a college student with mostly online coursework, so I have a flexible schedule and am home often. I also care for my two fur babies daily, so pet care is already a big part of my routine! I’m available most days, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel at home. I have two friendly dogs of my own and always make sure introductions are done safely and at a pace that’s comfortable for everyone. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, I keep dogs active and engaged with regular walks around my neighborhood and supervised time outside. I always follow your instructions closely, stick to your pet’s routine, and provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away!

As a nanny for over 15 years, caring for others has always been my passion, and I bring that same patience, responsibility, and compassion to every pet I care for.

I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to help them feel comfortable in their own home.

I also respect your home, keep everything clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring hands.
“Nika house sat for seversl days and was wonderful with my two dogs. She took very detailed notes during the meet and greet and made me feel very comfortable that she would take good care of them. She was respectful of my home, flexible and professional and helped me out with a minor home issue. I appreciate the walks she took with them while I was away and appreciate the care she provided. I will definitely call upon her again when I need care for my dogs.”

“Ashley was wonderful! She was very kind and respectful. She was great with communication, and took excellent care of our Lucy. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing Lucy was in very good hands with Ashley!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 444 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hiddenite. 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 Hiddenite 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 Hiddenite 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 Hiddenite 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hiddenite. On Rover:

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.
