“Andy was really great with our shy kitties. One of them started to warm up to him towards the end of the week. Both kitties ate well and were happy to see my wife and me when we cane home. We will definitely use Andy again.”
“Laura did a fantastic job watching our pups and home while we’re were away. She communicated well, sending photos so we could see our fur babies in our absence. We’ll definitely have her help us again!”
“If I could give 10 stars I would! Magalay is so great with our animals. She’s super responsive, and takes the most beautiful photos while she’s house sitting. I never have to worry about how our fur baby is doing while out of town as she keeps us updated and my dog absolutely loves her (and she only loves her family). I can’t thank her enough for all the time and care she gives and she’s even amazing with our 18 inch bearded dragon! Highly recommended and I’m so pleased I found her and she agreed to be our pet sitter!”
About: As a proud dog mom of two, I have lifelong experience caring for pups of all shapes and sizes—from large, high-energy breeds to small, gentle ones. I’ve spent years helping friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, and overnight care. I know every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I’m dedicated to providing safe, attentive care along with frequent photo updates so you can always have peace of mind while you're away! I am currently a college student working to cover my tuition, which gives me great flexibility throughout the week! Because of my flexible schedule, I am readily available for drop-in visits, energetic walks, and overnight house sitting at your home to make sure your pets maintain their normal routine. At the moment, I don't host pets in my own home, as I prefer to provide care right in the comfort of your pet’s familiar space! Whether it's a dog or a cat, staying in their own home helps the babies feel so much safer, cozy, and relaxed instead of having to adjust to a whole new environment. Whether I’m dropping in, going for a walk, or staying overnight, I pride myself on being sweet, polite, incredibly respectful, and extra tidy with your home.
About: Most of my life I have had pets, I love having them with me, play with them and give them affection and love. For me they are part of the family and I treat them like children. I have enough time to dedicate myself to them and take care of them as they deserve. When you leave me in their care, I dedicate myself to their exclusive care so that they are protected. I always keep them with me where I am safely and inside my house. When I'm with them, they are my priority. Having them by my side fills me with tranquility and company.
“Brittany was excellent. I felt comfortable having her care for my dog and cat. She went above and beyond. Especially, with my dog who was not easy to care for. She communicated with me everyday and was on time. Also, she sent pictures of my babies to show they were in great hands. I would definitely use her again in the future.”
“This sitter took great care of the babies while we were gone and even offered to take care of additional items like watering plants - would definitely book again :)”
“Natalie and her husband were incredibly caring and dependable. It was obvious that Tulip was not just being watched—she was truly loved and treated like part of their family. They kept me updated everyday while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worrying.”
“The second time I have asked Karena to look after my dog, and this time was difficult, as the house lost power for 18 hours during the middle of a heat wave, while the internet was effectively out for two full days. Karena was a great sport, extremely communicative, patient, and showed real care and concern for my dog under the circumstances. I really appreciated this and would absolutely have her back.”
“Lara was very responsive when setting up the visit and agreed to meet ahead of time to go over some of my pups quirks. She kept me updated throughout her stay and Jambo seems very happy and calm when I returned home. I would definitely book Lara again.”
“We have been so happy with the outstanding care Miles has given to our dogs! They are so well cared for and we can travel without any concerns about our dogs or home! He is a top choice!”
“Louise is amazing! She is the first sitter we used after adopting our very energetic puppy, and she did such an incredible job keeping her happy and safe while making sure our other dog and cat were as well. We’d absolutely trust her to watch our babies again.”
“Leia is definitely a cat with a big personality. She usually doesn't let strangers get close to her, so I was honestly amazed that Alina managed to earn her trust. She was incredibly patient, never pushed Leia, and let her come around at her own pace. To my surprise, Leia even allowed Alina to pet her, which almost never happens. It's clear that Alina truly understands cats and knows how to make them feel safe. I couldn't have asked for better care for my little princess. Thank you so much! I would happily book with Alina again 🩷”
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have always been an animal lover. I have 2 dogs myself. I also have 2 years of experience training dogs and have been fostering dogs with Mecklenburg County Animal Care and Control for 2 years. I can train and care for puppies, or take care of seniors. Im comfortable giving pills to dogs as well. I work a small gig teaching dance to kids in their daycares. I may be away from your home for 2 hours max but will be at your home full-time the rest of the time, able to care and play with your pup(s) 24/7, potty breaks or walks every 2-4 hours. I'm here for whatever your furry family needs! Thanks for considering me! I'm very flexible to whatever your fur animal(s) needs are. I am a clean orderly person, respectful of your space and bring a sensitive empathetic approach to my animal care. I will give regular updates on how your dog is doing!
“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.”
“Andri was lovely to pick up my booking last minute (other sitter cancelled due to illness) and communicated really well. I do wish she'd have been able to spend a bit more time at the house with the animals but understandable since it was a last minute booking. She followed all instructions well and sent several photos as updates. Will book again for sure!”
“Christy was great to work with! She was an excellent communicator, sent frequent pictures and updates, and took great care of Hank. Would definitely use Christy again and highly recommend.”

I can’t say enough about Denice! She loved my dogs as if they were her own. She sent photos and videos, and I could see how much they trusted her and how much fun they were having and how engaged they were and it was so comforting. Denice also watered my indoor and outdoor plants and made sure that the bird feeders and bird baths were full. When we got home, the house was in perfect condition. It was clean. It smelled nice. It was just the best way to return home after a long trip. And apart from all of that, Denice is simply a delight and a wonderful human.
Natalie and her husband were incredibly caring and dependable. It was obvious that Tulip was not just being watched—she was truly loved and treated like part of their family. They kept me updated everyday while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worrying.
Maegan went above and beyond providing quality care for my kitties! She sent photos and videos multiple times a day, kept me updated on everything, and cleaned the place before she left. She did a great job giving my cat his inhaler and oral medication. I could tell my babies felt super comfortable with her. Maegan will be the first person I call when I need a sitter from now on! 😁
Tiffani was amazing with our dogs. Our dogs were super comfortable and were so happy to be with her while we were away. She sent photos and videos and checked in with us to let us know the dogs were happy while we were away. Tiffani was so kind and treated our dogs like they were her family. Will be booking her again for our next trip; thank you so much Tiffani!!
Devin was a fantastic dog and house sitter for us for the week we were out of town. I’m always nervous about leaving our dogs with someone new, but she was warm, responsive, checked in regularly, and we could tell our girls had a great time with her. We will definitely be using her for all of our future sitter needs!
Words cannot describe how phenomenal of a pet/house sitter Carson is! She went above and beyond for our entire 9 day trip, taking the most incredible care of our animals. Our cat had recently been diagnosed with diabetes right before our trip, and she was so observant about any changes in behavior and managed the insulin administered beautifully. Our dog is absolutely obsessed with her too! She is an excellent communicator, followed every direction to a t, and is so thoughtful. When we returned from our trip she had completely deep cleaned all the common spaces and the guest room she stayed it, even offering to do the laundry. I seriously cannot recommend her enough - we will definitely be rebooking her every opportunity we get!!
Melissa was amazing help with our two Goldens. Not only did she provide great for them but she also helped us out with very short notice. I never felt worried about our pups and am so grateful to have such peace of mind while being on vacation. Will definitely use Melissa again!
Brittany was great with rex. She sent me daily pictures of him and he looked happy and relaxed. During her stay with rex he did develop a sore on one of his paws but Brittany kept me up to date with him daily and even went so far as to get him a cone to prevent further issues with his paw. I would recommend Brittany as a house sitter and dog sitter any day.
Aby was wonderful, we could tell our potatoes were treated with as much care as we normally do. Momo kept going back to the guest room afterwards looking for her. She followed our instructions and we have no complaints. Our place was left clean, and she even left out a thawed dog food packet for us in the fridge. It was really nice coming back from a trip without feeling overwhelmed about making sure we had the little stuff to take care of. We definitely recommend and wouldn't hesitate to book again for our next trip. Thank you much Aby!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Indian Trail is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $72 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.

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 Indian Trail 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 Indian Trail 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 Indian Trail 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 Indian Trail. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
