“Emily was amazing! She sent pics daily, even though I didn’t always have a chance to reply. Her updates were great and super adorable. When I came home the house was clean (I think cleaner than I left it. ♥️) Litter boxes were clean too. Excited to have her back to hang with my crew. 😊”

She followed all care instructions perfectly, kept us updated with great communication, and left the house immaculate. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were safe, loved, and in such great hands. We will absolutely be booking her again!"”

“They are absolutely phenomenal! Very responsive to messages and coordination of the meet and greet to start. Wonderful in the meet and greet with the dogs(3). We knew leaving them for the weekend would be just fine. We received so many photos of them playing and enjoying the dog vacation. Arriving back to our house it was clean and tidy. The same way we had left it. I’d recommend Rey and Jonathan to everyone.”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs and cats for most of my life. I was lucky enough to travel with my family, showing Standard and Giant Schnauzers expanding my knowledge and love for breeds of all sizes and personalities. Throughout my adulthood I have enjoyed caring for my friend’s pets while they were away. I just recently moved to Fayetteville and I miss having pets now and would like to be able to get some sloppy kisses, hugs and purrrrfect companionship and would love the opportunity to care for part of your family while you are away. Walks, playtime and snuggles are a daily routine. Special Skills I am well acquainted with taking care of puppies, and senior dogs with medical needs. I have trained dogs through obedience classes. I’m currently on Summer break and have full weeks of time off from June 1 through August 15th, 2026. The rest of the months I am free from Friday evenings through Sunday evening for home sitting. Holidays I am also free. I follow directions carefully and treat your pet and home as if they were mine. I am happy to text or send picture updates as requested.

About: I’ve been around big dogs my whole life and I’ve never been scared of them, all I ask is that your pet is trained (but if worse comes to worse I can keep a treat nearby to deescalate the scene). I currently help care for my dog Tiger when I’m at my dad’s and he’s well adapt in the world of tricks (one of his favorites being roll over) ! I work part-time right now so I have plenty of time to make sure your baby has a wonderful day! All I ask is that you give me some notice to ensure that I’m off for the day you’re requesting. 🙂 I do not pet sit in my own home, my dog does fine with the smell of others but I’m not sure of how he’d react to just meeting another dog at random. However, within the location you choose I’ll follow all of your guidelines and if you let me I’ll use positive reinforcement with treats to make sure they don’t go past whatever your personal border is for them. I feed my pets 2-3 times a day, with the time in the middle being more of a snack, less hefty than the other two for moderation, to avoid an unhealthy weight. Tiger gets let out to potty whenever he wants, there isn’t really a set time but he definitely gets let out before bed for at least 30mins to make sure he can go to sleep without feeling the need to potty throughout the night. This is just my personal care and I’m more than welcome to changing this routine for your pet, I’m offering a service and I’d like to make sure your’s and your pets’ needs are fulfilled.

About: I treat every dog in my care like my own. As a small business owner, I know how much reliability matters. I show up on time, keep you updated with photos and messages, and follow your routine exactly so your pup stays comfortable while you're away. Puppies: I'm patient with young pups and keep up with potty training, crate routines, and basic commands like sit and stay. Senior dogs: I'm comfortable with slower walks, giving medications, and extra attention. Extras: Fenced yard / I work from home so your dog is rarely alone / experience with large breeds / comfortable with anxious or shy dogs. Your dog won't just be watched. They'll be loved! I’m pretty flexible with my schedule at the moment. I have a small dog that is in his older years and home majority of the day. In my home (boarding/daycare): Your dog gets a calm, safe space with [a fenced yard / a cozy spot to rest]. I keep them on their normal feeding, walk, and bedtime schedule, and they're never left alone for long. [I only take one family's dogs at a time so every pup gets my full attention.

About: Hi, my name is Lydia! I love to take care of animals, from dogs to cats to fish and guinea pigs, etc. I have two miniature pinchers, Hazel and Alex. They are both 2 years old with some big personalities. Alex is more on the curious and playful side while Hazel just loves to cuddle. If you want to board your pets then they will always have their company :) Please feel free to reach out anytime you need someone to watch your pet(s) I would be more than happy to watch them. My schedule is flexible. I’m a student but both my classes and work are online so I’m sure we can work out a schedule that works for both of us! I will care for your pet as if they were my own pet, and if there are certain routines that a pet has I will make sure to follow them.

About: I’m a college student and athlete who truly loves being around animals. I have experience caring for pets for friends, family, and my own cat, Sven, who I’ve raised since he was a kitten. I also grew up with my childhood dog for over 10 years, and after she passed away in August of last year, it made me appreciate even more how special the bond with pets really is. Because of that, I love meeting new animals and giving them the same care, attention, and love I gave my own. Being a volleyball player has taught me responsibility, consistency, and patience, qualities I bring into every pet I care for. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just companionship, I treat every pet like they’re family. I’m currently in school Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM, which still leaves me with plenty of availability in the afternoons and evenings. I also work a part-time job on Tuesdays and some saturdays, with shifts ranging from 5–7 hours, and I play college volleyball, practicing every week day 330-6pm. Even with my schedule, I’m very organized and flexible, and I always make time for responsibilities that matter. I’m committed to working with pet owners to find a schedule that fits their needs, whether that’s regular visits, drop-ins, or adjusting my routine to make sure their pet is well cared for and not left alone too long. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in whatever environment they’re in. In a client’s home, I try to stick closely to their pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions they provide. I make sure their space stays clean, especially when it comes to things like litter boxes or food areas, and I always keep a close eye on their behavior to make sure they’re doing well. I also give updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away. In my own home, I create a calm and clean environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. I make sure they have a safe space, plenty of attention, and regular care throughout the day. Since I care for my own cat, Sven, I’m very familiar with maintaining routines, cleanliness, and making sure pets are comfortable and well looked after. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve.

About: I am active duty military, but I have experience a little over 8 years with dog boarding, dog walking, & dog sitting. As a reliable and experienced pet sitter, your pup will enjoy daily walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles while you’re away. I currently work Monday-Friday, but I have an extremely flexible schedule. I usually come home around 11-12 for my lunch break and I am free most weekends. I provide a safe, loving environment for every dog I care for. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I take my dog Bo to nearby parks to run and play, and I give every pup plenty of neighborhood walks for exercise and enrichment. I closely supervise all playtime to make sure each dog feels comfortable and loved. I’d be happy to arrange a meet-and-greet with Bo!

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and I treated all of them like they were my kids. I have also watched my neighbors pets and treated them as family aswell I currently do not work anywhere else, so my schedule is wide open. Except for Friday and weekends. Being present will not be an issue. I love to walk and get out of the house, so why not take ur fur baby with me. I am also very cautious about other pets or people being around your pet

About: I've been around dogs all my life. My grandparents were breeders for Scotties, Cocker Spaniels and Terriers. My personal pets have been Velvet a cooker spaniel, Tobby a shepherd/lab mix, Doobee a shepherd/collie mix and my current cohort is Harley a 50 lb mixed breed rescue from texas. I have completed over 18 months of weekly training with Harley culminating with AKC canine good citizen certificate. What i learned from that experience was the importance and significance of consistency. Additionally that I am trained to be as consistent as possible in providing the type of care that you prefer for your pet. I'm retired so I am usually available anytime and can do same day appointments. I'm usually up before 6am and keep late night hours also so please feel free to contact me anytime. I have a fenced yard and can easily crate your pet if needed. I have one pet friendly dog at home if your pet likes company. I do not have any children living at my home.

I’ll always communicate with you about my availability and make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. I live in an apartment, so I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise through regular walks and trips to the dog park. I’ll always keep them supervised and make sure they’re comfortable and safe while they’re with me.

She kept me informed about my dog’s well-being throughout the entire stay, sending regular messages and even photos to put my mind at ease. It was such a relief to know my furry friend was in good hands, and I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a trustworthy and communicative dog sitter.”

THE ABSOLUTE BEST! That is where I start. We had to book him in a pinch and we were able to get a meet and greet in with Khalil and our 3(65# plus) dogs. The meet and greet went great and he showed up on time 3 days later. We received photos every single day. He stayed in our home and was able to keep them entertained while there. The photos we received they were always looking happy. We were gone for 10 days and when we came back it was like we had just left with the house being clean. Khalil stayed in our guest room. We didn't ask him to but he took the sheets off of the bed and put them in the laundry room. The dishes he had used were put in the dishwasher. Main thing was to take care of our dogs and he went above and beyond on that! We will absolutely recommend Khalil to anyone and everyone looking for short and long term stays. Khalil was very responsive. We will be going back to him when we have to be out of town again. Khalil made it so easy to trust that they would be in good hands and taken care of the entire time. I could go on and on. An overall phenomenal experience.

Hero dog sitter! Brittany literally came to the rescue for our pups and is kind, sweet, and really cares. Long story ahead, but important. We initially hired a different sitter to housesit our pups Monday-Friday. We left our house very early Monday to travel to Puerto Rico and expected the sitter to arrive mid to late morning. While traveling, the other sitter I initially hired told me she was in another state due to weather and was trying to get to our house as soon as possible. She said she had a family member that routinely helps her and was headed to our house immediately to take care of our pups until she could get there. I felt I needed to accept this plan since I was already very far away and did not have notice or time to change anything. I got a few updates the rest of Monday that the pups were being taken care of, and that everything was fine. I woke up Tuesday morning in PR and felt something was just “off”, so I checked my security cameras and no one had ever come to my house. No one arrived to housesit or take care of my dogs, ages 18, 15, and 2. I began panicking as I realized they had been alone for over 24 hours while I thought the other sitter’s family was with them. I logged on to Rover and sent out basically an emergency message to anyone it would allow me to message that was available the same day. Within a few minutes Brittany responded that she could help. This is such a busy time of year with the holidays and travel and she stopped everything to take over house sitting for the rest of the week. When she got to my house, thank GOD, my dogs were okay. They were hungry and thirsty and Brittany had a mess from them being alone for almost 30 hours at this point. She fed them and cleaned up and immediately sent me pictures and videos to show me they were okay. I had already checked to see how fast I could return to NC myself but it would have taken over 24 hours. For the rest of our trip Brittany took excellent care of my dogs and reassured me they were okay. I am handling the situation with the other sitter and I have no idea when she made it back to NC but she, nor her helper ever arrived to my house or checked with me since to see if my dogs were okay. I want to let everyone know that Brittany is amazing and will take care of your pets like her own!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hope Mills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Hope Mills is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $76 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 426 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hope Mills. 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 Hope Mills 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 Hope Mills 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 Hope Mills 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.

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.

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 .
