“Edelyn was a wonderful and caring dog sitter. Extremely trustworthy, provided great updates, and left my home in pristine condition! I highly recommend her for your pets.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Mary was the perfect person for our pups and cat! We received daily updates and photos of all our animals. She was always quick to respond to any questions. Our home was clean and cared for. This was a great experience and we already have booked Mary again for our future travels!”
“Jada is not only a wonderful sitter, but a gem of a person. She was so patient, attentive, and sweet to our 16 year old pup, Missy. Missy is a spunky but wobbly senior with dementia and so we were a little anxious about how she’d do with a new sitter. Jada was so patient with her and kept us updated with pictures & videos. Truly no one better to watch your pet!!”
“Julia was great! She was prompt getting to the house and sent pictures often during her stay! The house was picked up, which wasn't expected but a nice surprise after long trip! My 2 dogs were happy and seemed to have a great time with her. Julia is always quick to respond to text. We will definitely be reaching out again. Keeping the pups on their schedule was important to us, and she did that perfectly. Totally recommend Julia!!!”
“Lillian did an awesome job watching Scarlett over the weekend. Scarlett can be pretty anxious and high energy, so I’m always a little cautious leaving her with someone new, but she took to Lillian right away, which says a lot. Lillian was very responsive the entire time and clearly put in the effort to work with Scarlett, not just watch her. That meant a lot to me knowing she was in good hands while I was away. Would definitely recommend her and will be reaching out again in the future.”
“Sage was wonderful with our pets. We booked her to house sit and stay with our two dogs and two cats. She was very responsive while we were away and kept us up to date on our pets and how they were doing. We definitely recommend her and will use her again.”
“Excellent service, we will definitely use Lilly again. Took very good care of our kids and communicated tons during her visit. Did the overnight in home care and we are very happy with Lilly's professionalism. Thanks Lilly.”

I’m currently a student and working part time so I’ll make as much free time as needed for your fur babies but please feel free to reach out for my weekly availability! I live in an apartment with my 2 year old dog she’s very shy but friendly and we have a fenced dog park and we live right next to the Mallard Creek greenway which is perfect for going on nature walks!
“Samuel was the best dog sitter! He was so kind to our dogs and sent us a ton of pictures. He cuddled with our dogs and took such great care of them! It was our first Rover experience and we will 100% use Samuel again to sit with our pups. It gave us peace of mind to he gone.”
“Amanda was awesome. She took very good care of our dog and cat while we were away on our cruise. The animals were happy, the house was clean and we never had to worry throughout our whole trip.”
About: We have owned pets our entire lives and have completed multiple pets sits over the past year. Jeff is retired FAA and very mechanical. Anna is a part-time Telehealth RN, meds and special care are not a problem. In the summer we live in Alaska and own multiple vacation rentals. We are very experienced and will take excellent care of your home while you are away. We love exercise and can't wait to walk your dogs, and we prefer to be home for a quiet evening. We live on the East coast during the winter, mostly in the Spartanburg, Charlotte area, where we have family. We have our own vehicle and are mature and responsible. We will take excellent care of your home and animals so you can vacation and relax. We are in the Carolinas during the winter and we are flexible to take overnight and extended stays during the fall, winter, and early spring. We hope to develop repeat pet sitting experiences for people who like to travel at the same times yearly. We will follow all your instructions for the care of your pet to meet their individual needs. We will love to cuddle, walk, and spoil them when you are gone.
About: I"ve been a proud cat mother for 8 years. I love dogs but I was never willing to be a permanent dog owner because I understand the responsibility and I take that responsibility and have not been ready yet but I am ready to be your pet sitter. I have never known my one cat to be aggressive around dogs should you be looking for your dog to spend time in my home. In addition to my aspirations to be a pet sitter, I am a freelance recruiter and an aspiring actor. I have walked friends dogs before as well as stopped in for an in-home visit. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me. Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I currently have a recruiting business but no client work right now so I am wide open to help you with your pet care needs. I would absolutely make sure that I wrote down all the necessary instructions and followed them to the last word. I am very good with cat behavior.
About: I took care of my former roommates’ chihuahua and standard poodle during the pandemic. I enjoyed exercising at the dog park, bonding time, and connections with pet owners. I’m truly excited to care for your furry friends as my 3 year old and I love being around dogs! Please note: For drop-ins I will walk, feed, and play with your dog(s). For cats, I will feed, change the litter and play with them. I will only board dogs and cats that are small child friendly and will consider house sitting dogs that may not be as friendly if there is a crate and a gate available to keep my child separated. I am currently available full time to care for your pet needs! If you would like to set up a meet and greet prior to committing, we can meet at a local park. I have an open and spacious yard and can easily crate your dog inside if needed. We will walk in the neighborhood at least every 3 hours and I will log all bathroom activity for drop ins.
About: I absolutely love animals, and with over 30 years of experience living alongside pets, I naturally tune into their unique personalities, body language, and routines! As a high-energy runner and big walker, I’m the perfect match for keeping active pups happy and hitting their exercise goals, while my decades of sharing spaces with animals mean I’m equally great at giving sweet kitties the calm companion care and independent space they thrive on. Whether your pet is an energetic workout buddy or a quiet lounger, I bring tons of love, care, and reliable live-in companionship to make them feel safe, active, and completely pampered! I work part time from home on my own schedule, easy to fit in your fur baby’s early morning, mid day or late night needs! When staying at your place, I focus on keeping your pets exact routine, boundaries, and energy levels intact. As a runner and big walker, I love tailoring our days to hit your dog's exercise goals, whether that's a fun jog or a casual stroll around the neighborhood. Decades of living with canine and feline roommates mean I effortlessly adapt to their feeding schedules and unique quirks, giving them plenty of love and live-in companionship right where they’re most comfortable.
“Kelcie was amazing! From the very first meet-and-greet, Pongo and Dela immediately felt comfortable around her, which gave me so much peace of mind. She kept me updated throughout our trip, always letting me know when she arrived and left the house, and she sent lots of pictures so I could see how happy they were. She spent time playing with them during her visits, and when we got home they looked happy, healthy, and well cared for. Because of her, I was able to truly enjoy my vacation without worrying about my dogs. She was kind, reliable, and thoughtful, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again for future trips. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2020, caring for a variety of breeds and personalities. I have a huge love for animals and always treat them like my own. I offer services ranging from drop-in visits to overnight stays, depending on your pet’s needs. I’m attentive, reliable, and will always keep you updated for peace of mind! I’m a licensed cosmetologist and typically work in the salon Tuesday through Friday. I make my own hours so I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate pet care throughout the day. I’m available for morning, evening, and overnight care, as well as weekend bookings. Your pet will always get consistent attention and care worked seamlessly into my routine! When caring for your pet my goal is to keep them as comfortable and stress free as possible. I stick closely to their normal routine, including their feeding schedule, walks/ potty breaks, playtime, and any other specific instructions. I will always treat your home with respect and make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for!
About: Hi! I’m Olivia and I’m excited to pet sit for you. I’ve been a part time pet sitter for 6 years taking care of cats and dogs (of all sizes). I have experience in pet sitting for young puppies & kittens as well as older more medically complex pets. I am more than comfortable giving medication to pets and allergy shots. Although my pet sitting experience has been focused only 6 years. Prior to this I fostered countless kittens and puppies with the humane society of Charlotte ensuring I met all of their socialization needs for their future home! I have two kitties of my own, Winifred and Beatrice who have brought me so much joy and I’m excited to love on your pet as I do my own! I currently work 7 to 4 in office most days but am available morning, lunch times and the evenings. I love to fill my time taking care of animals! I love to make sure all animals feel comfortable with me. I never approach without letting them sniff me and make sure to always give space when needed. I am always gentle and quiet around more shy animals until I gain their trust.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Huntersville
I know my dog is in great hands with Julia She arrives on time, brings her lovely energy gives her full attention to my boy. Follows his routine perfectly Sends lots of updates and photos I greatly appreciate her, I am a repeat client and she is my first request when I need an in house sitter
Alex was the first sitter I’ve booked via Rover and he was exactly what I’d hoped for. He was extremely easy to communicate with, punctual and most of all GREAT with all three of my dogs! He provided regular updates and photos throughout his stay at my house. As a fellow Rover sitter, it’s refreshing to know I found someone who cares for dogs as much as I do. Definitely recommend Alex and look forward to using him again in the future!!
Natalia is excellent, and our girls loved her. We could tell they had been spoiled when we got home. She was accommodating to a schedule change and was available for a late night drop in last minute. I highly recommend her and we plan to use her for any future travel so our elderly dogs can stay home while we are away.
Julia continues to be an amazing dog and house sitter! She just stayed at our house and watched our dog for a week and our house looked cleaner when we got home. She is an amazing communicator and is very responsive. We received numerous updates a day with pictures and it is so clear how much she cares. She is also amazing with our dog. I will continue trusting her with our dog and house!
This is our second time booking Chase and he has been beyond phenomenal both times. Chase is punctual, he communicates great, and our dogs absolutely loves him! We are beyond grateful for Chase and would highly recommend him to anyone who needs care for their fur-babies.
Juliana was AMAZING!!! She was so organized and thorough when it came to telling me her schedule. I felt so confident that my dogs were in great care with her. In addition, she was so respectful of my home while watching our pups and went above and beyond. I will definitely be booking her again and again!
Haley was amazing!! We are typically very nervous when leaving our girls and Haley did an excellent job asking all the right questions and making sure we felt comfortable. She went above and beyond with our pups, providing additional love, care, and playtime. She also provided us with many updates, pictures, and videos. Throughout our trip there was never a question of whether our girls were being properly cared for and it allowed for us to worry about enjoying our trip. I would recommend Haley to a best friend of family member, and highly suggest reaching out if you’re looking for someone to take good care of your animals.
Crystal was wonderful! Lily and Mason loved spending the week with her and got lots of walks and attention. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, which made us feel really comfortable while we were away. We trusted her in our home for the week and everything went great. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her! 🐾
Iv had Monarch watch my cats a few times now! She is the best person Iv found on this app. She takes great care of my cats (one with anxiety), updates me frequently and provides them with lots of attention. Anytime I return the cats do not seem overly stressed or anxious like they have when Iv had others watch them! I highly recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Huntersville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Huntersville is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $80 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 3,010 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Huntersville. 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 Huntersville 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 Huntersville 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 Huntersville 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Huntersville. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
