“Heather is such a nice person. She is very thorough and communicative as I requested. This was the first babysitting visit with my dog and hopefully won’t be our last.”
“Tommy was amazing from our initial meet and greet through his entire stay with our dog, Wally. You can immediately tell Tommy genuinely loves dogs and will treat yours like his own. It was our first experience leaving our dog with anyone other than family. It was so nice not worrying one bit about Wally being in good hands. Tommy communicated with us regularly, even helped with a few things around the house while we were away and when we returned, you could hardly tell he had been here. Everything was tidy and neat. We highly recommend Tommy and plan to have him watch Wally again in the future.”
“We used Jane for the first time this past weekend house/dog sitting overnight. She was great!! From day one when we met her for a meet and greet to taking care of our Wire Fox Terriers. Very responsive. Excellent communication. Handled extras around the house like garbage cans and package deliveries. We felt very comfortable having her stay in our home and take care of our kids. I highly recommend her. Thank you Jane.”
“10/10 would recommend. Brendan was consistently checking in and communicating with me during his stay at my home for the holidays. He also prioritized my pups and was basically at my house the whole time which is amazing for one of my dogs separation anxiety. He also left my home very clean and even put the sheets in the washer for me! Feeling very thankful I found someone my dogs are comfortable with and takes great care of my home. Thank you Brendan!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Mary — she’s truly an angel! We left our two pups in her care for a week while on vacation, which was especially nerve-wracking since our Lab was recently diagnosed with Idiopathic Epilepsy. Mary was amazing from start to finish. She administered both dogs’ daily medications flawlessly, and when our Lab unfortunately experienced one of her seizures, she handled it absolutely perfectly. She gave our pups so much love and kept us updated throughout the week, which gave us so much peace of mind. On top of that, she left the house so clean — even washing her sheets before she left! I was so anxious to leave, but Mary made it so easy. I’d recommend her to anyone, she is truly the best.”
“Brad did well with both of our dogs from the start. Our bigger dog can be a bit anxious when strangers come into the house and Brad let her sniff him and get used to him before he tried to interact with her. He sent us several pictures throughout the week and when we returned the house was just as we had left it—-or better! We will definitely try to book Brad again when the need arises.”
“Megan was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our two dogs and cat. Even with an energetic puppy and nightly meds for the cat, everything went smoothly. It was almost like they didn’t miss us 🙂 We’d gladly have her stay with our fur babies again.”
“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!!”
“We booked a last minute travel and we were looking for someone to take care of our baby girl in our home, Lindsey got back to us quick, and was available. Lindsey is responsible, punctual and the most important, Lilica loved her! She sent us pictures of Lilica, we loved it, we could enjoy our travel knowing Lilica was in good hands! I highly recommend Lindsey to anyone looking for a great petsitter to take care of your furry friend while you are away! Thanks again Lindsey, Lilica misses you! Hope to see you again anytime soon!”
About: I have years of experience walking dogs and petsitting both dogs and cats, whether taking them out for a walk or just keeping them company, I always prioritize your pets needs to ensure they are happy & healthy! I have experience caring for puppies and kittens all the way to senior dogs and cats, from one-time visits to a week and longer stays. As an animal lover, I find great joy in spending time with dogs and cats, ensuring they receive ample attention, and doing all I can to keep them from feeling lonely while their owners are away. I keep pets safe by avoiding any potentially dangerous situations, like walking along busy streets or getting too close to dogs who show signs of hostility (i.e growling/aggressive barking). I’d love to care for your adorable furry friends! I have a flexible schedule - I’m available for drop-in visits and walks, or to stay with your pets during the day and/or overnight! Looking for pet-sitting work in the Lake Norman area! I always prioritize your pets safety - being mindful of where we are walking, surroundings, and weather conditions, and following routines for feeding and bedtimes! I am happy to do whatever is best for your pet - whether they prefer energetic playtime or just relaxing! I keep owners up to date with messages and photos so they know their pet is in good hands!
“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.”
“Julia was amazing & took such great care of our two dogs! She was so timely/organized, listened to all of our directions, and made us feel at ease! She also left our house just like we left it - highly recommend Julia!”
“Caroline was an amazing house sitter for the week we were out of town! She took such great care of our cat and was always great about communicating daily updates and pictures with us. She was super flexible and was able to accommodate to what we needed while we were away! We definitely recommend her for your future animal care needs!”
“So happy that we were able to book with Shanae. She took great care of our pups and communicated fantastically. We'll definitely ask her to help again!”
“Ethan was absolutely amazing with our anxious English Bulldog for overnight dog sitting! He took the time (and multiple visits) for George to become totally comfortable! He was excellent and very knowledgeable about dogs and their personality quirks! 10/10 will be booking him again!”
“Great overnight sitter for my two pups. They were spoiled while I was gone for half a week. The house was immaculate upon my return. Also good communication on updates.”
“Addy was amazing! She helped me out when I was in a bind and needed someone to house and dog sit for me with short notice. She saved the day!! She took amazing care of my dogs and my home! I’ll definitely be reaching out to her in the future to help care for my dogs!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Huntersville is $50

Definitely recommend Alex and look forward to using him again in the future!!
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!
Edelyn was great with our Aussie! She stayed over to house-sit and keep him company, sent photos and notes to let us know he was in good hands, and was very flexible when our start & end times shifted. Communication was prompt and excellent. We highly recommend her and would book with her again!
I was so nervous about leaving my dog because my baby means everything to me, but Rhianna made the whole process so easy and stress free. She responded back quickly every time and kept me updated with pictures and messages, which I really appreciated. My dog is very bougie and likes things done a certain way, and Rhianna followed everything exactly how I asked. That meant a lot to me because not everyone pays attention to the little details. I could tell my baby was well taken care of and comfortable the entire time. I will definitely be using her again going forward. Highly recommend!
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 for House Sitting in Huntersville on Rover is $54.39 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,074 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 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 Huntersville. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
