“Sierra was super responsive and was great about sending us updates at the end of the day as well as kept our house clean and spotless! would definitely recommend her for anyone’s dog sitting needs!”
“Hayley stayed at our home with our 3 dogs and was fantastic. Our senior dog is very picky eater and she ate all her meals without any extra encouragement which is amazing. We received plenty of updates and pictures showing our dogs doing their usual dog stuff with no problems with us not around. We have already booked Hayley again for another upcoming trip and we will continue to book her in the future”
“Caitlyn took great care of my fur babies. She also house sat too. I felt very comfortable with her staying. It was great to come home and know my pets and my home had been taken care of. I would highly recommend Caitlyn and would definitely use her again.”
“Mara was fabulous with Wags. She paid close attention to what he needed and how he was doing. Communication with her was easy from booking through the visit. Will definitely use her again.”
“Alessandria did a great job keeping my dogs safe and happy. I appreciate that she was able to be flexible on times as I wasn't sure with the weather if we were going to make it back on time. The house was left neat and tidy, and she helped prepare for a bad winter storm coming.”
“Alyssa was very kind and loving. She left the house at least as good as she found it. Sheets were washed, bed was remade, dishes were washed and put away and nothing was out of place. I would highly recommend her to anyone with animals or even just housesitting.”
“De'Erricka was very responsible; the house was spotless when I got home! My cat was very relaxed, which only happens when the person sitting has paid a good amount of attention. She also understood my rather complicated feeding regimen, which I much appreciated. Also, De'Erricka works from home, which helps Sadie, as she is alone otherwise even if there are brief visits. Much appreciated! Also, when I returned home later than we thought, De'Erricka came back to stay with her on a Sunday so she wouldn't be alone all day. Really special, and she's coming again this week!”
“Gianina was very good with my dog Tyson. She was prompt and on time for arrival. She stayed in my house and house sat with him and I felt very comfortable with her doing so. She stayed in constant communications with me and made me feel comfortable about leaving him. He’s a very spoiled puppy. She also sent pictures for me to see as well. It was great to know that my dog was well cared for while I was away. I would highly recommend her.”
“Avery stayed with my pups while I was out of town. They can be a handful, and Avery handles them with ease! I’ve never come home to such calm dogs after a weekend away. Highly recommend!”
About: Hey dog pawmily! I’m Hadassah! I’ve honestly been caring for animals since I was a child and have experience with a wide variety of pets including multiple dogs, four cats, a bunny, fish, and three parakeets. Caring for so many different animals has truly taught me patience, responsibility, and truly how to meet each pet’s unique needs. I have and solely take care of my one dog, Diogee, who is a 3 year old Maltese-Shitzu mix and enjoys meeting new friends. Having my dog, Diogee, by my side throughout my transition as a transfer student in my senior year at UNC chapel hill has shown me just how important pets are to our lives. Hopefully your dog will either have the opportunity to meet/walk/play with me (yay!) or stay in my safe HOA home located in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with great walking areas and a new dog park currently being built nearby. I, Hadassah, can assure you that when your dog is cared for by me, they’ll be treated with the same care and patience that I give my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I care for my own dog, Diogee, every day. 🐶 I'm available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and boarding depending on availability. In my home, pets will receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh cool water, meals according to their schedule, and a safe, pet-friendly environment. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routine.
About: Zak and I are avid animal lovers and enjoy taking care of animals of all sizes and types. We currently have 2 horses, 7 dogs, 2 cats, a ferret and a goat. I grew up in 4H showing dogs and horses and taking care of animals is my passion, and Zak is every animal's favorite pretty much instantly. We are very active and do agility and wildlife management with our Border Collies and ride horses every day. We are experienced in giving emergency first aid, and can give any medications or special care needed. Currently I have one blind cat, one deaf dog, a diabetic dog and many other ailments. Care around the holidays is not a problem for us. Thank you so much for reading this! We will treat your pet like our own :) We also are very active with the local rescue and may have additional fosters. We always make sure to balance everyone’s needs and keep everyone safe Zak works from home full time, I work from home 2 days a week. We have a 7 acre farm and a large fenced in backyard. I have a fenced in backyard and am used to dogs with all temperaments. Zak and I have cared for up to 30 dogs in one weekend while working in wildlife management (obviously not in our home 😅). We also have both worked in horse barns as well as caring for our own critters. Animal care is our passion. All of my dogs are well socialized and up to date on all vaccines. Cats and ferret can be isolated away from visiting pets completely if needed. Same with my dogs if needed. Lots of experience with behavioral and health issues
About: I've been caring for dogs and other pets for the past 20 years and am a trusted housesitter in Durham, Chapel Hill, and beyond! I've provided extended care and regular housesitting for up to a month at a time in my home or theirs. In my own home, I have a fenced yard and no other pets, providing a great setup for boarding. I love spending time with animals and can't wait to meet your pet, large or small, fosters and rescues! I'm also experienced with birds, rabbits, and other small animals. I'm reliable, organized, and ready to work with you to provide the safest and most enjoyable experience for your pet. I have a flexible work schedule and love hanging with pets during the work day, whether staying in your home with your pet, boarding them in my home with a fenced yard, or providing drop-in care and walks. I can provide bathroom breaks every 4-6 hours most days. I'm a trusted housesitter for several local families, providing extended care in their homes for up to a month at a time over the past few years. In my own home, I have a fenced yard and no other pets. I do have a variety of indoor plants, so dogs that chew on plants may not be a good fit safety-wise.
“Morgan was reliable, communicative, on-time, and understanding of the needs required surrounding my senior pup. Highly recommended and will use again in the future! Thank you Morgan!”
About: I’ve been a pet mom for over 25 years while raising my five children. Since losing my loyal companion 2 years ago and empty nesting, I am ready to shower love and care to your beloved pet. There’s nothing like the unconditional love of a pet and I can’t wait to meet your furry companion! I am currently a companion to my 90 year old mother and am home every day. I can easily incorporate care for your pet into our very flexible schedule. I can offer walks, play and companionship to your pet and visits to dog parks if they like to play with other dogs. Deck available at home- yard is not fenced in. Beautiful walking area around the lake behind our home.
“Mardi did an incredible job taking care of our cats and home while we were away for a week! She followed our instructions perfectly, sent regular updates and photos, and left our house in even better condition than when she arrived. I’m usually a little anxious about leaving the cats when we travel, but I was able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing everything was safe in her hands. I will absolutely book her again the next time we need a cat sitter!”
“Hunter was awesome with my two Great Danes. He let them get use to him in a way that made them feel like they weren’t alone. He was not bothered by their size or how loud they barked. Would definitely recommend and hire him again.”
“Adrienne is an amazing doggie/house sitter. Thank you Adrienne for taking such wonderful care of our puppy for two weeks. Our puppy loved her. She was very prompt for all meetings, asked a ton of questions and made us feel very comfortable leaving for 2 weeks. She sent daily updates/ pictures and we could tell our little guy was happy/content. Adrienne took great care of our home and it was spotless when we returned. Adrienne is an absolute gem for all our puppy-house sitting needs. We highly recommend her.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Hurdle Mills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,181 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hurdle 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 Hurdle 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 Hurdle 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 Hurdle 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.
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.

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.
