“We enjoyed having Taylor watch our Dewey boy. She was great with communication and updates about our pup. She was very timely as well which is appreciated! We will certainly use Taylor again!”
“I’m new to Rover. We have a 4 year old lab/husky mix and a high energy, 7 month old German Shepherd. As you can imagine , I was a little nervous. Kristina took it upon herself to set up a meet & greet prior to the house sitting weekend. She was on time, personable and had a calm and confident energy about her. Our 2 dogs responded to her immediately. During our weekend away, we would get little updates & awesome pictures of our babies. AND…Wow! What a nice touch…Kristina not only took spectacular care of our babies, but we came home to a neat & tidy house. What a bonus! I can't stop smiling 🤩! Georgie & Aspen were so calm and seamed kind of fulfilled! Wowza! 10 out of 10! I highly recommend Kristina for dog training services, too. She gave us some awesome tips that we have already implemented into our daily routine. Thank you, Kristina!”
“Lydia took wonderful care of my two dogs while staying with them over the weekend. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals. She followed their schedules and routines perfectly, spent plenty of time playing with them, and made sure they felt comfortable, happy, and loved while I was away. Knowing my dogs were in such caring and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind. When I returned home, they were relaxed, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed their time with her. I am so grateful for the pictures and videos she sent and the attention and affection she gave them. I would wholeheartedly recommend Lydia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate dog sitter.”
“We had never left our 12 year old dogs home without us so were nervous about. Ashley was fantastic. She cared well for the dogs and they were comfortable with her. They were very happy when we got home. I deifnitiely plan to have Ashley come again.”
“I cannot stress enough how awesome Dawn and Steven were. They were very helpful and sent tons of pictures and videos of our fur baby. I would highly recommend using them, as I’m not sure it can get any better.”
“Maylin was absolutely wonderful to work with and was great with my dog Honey. She was communicative, sent photos, and left the house in great shape. I will definitely work with Maylin again!”
“Emily took absolutely wonderful care of our dog during our weekend away. She was communicative, kind, and tidy. She left our house cleaner than when she found it! I can tell from the photos that our sometimes nervous pup was very comfortable with her. We’ll definitely be using Emily’s services again!”
“Jackie was great with the pups & was able to help out in a pinch for Christmas! We look forward to future stays and appreciate the awesome photos while we were gone! Merry Christmas!”
“Samm was amazing! She watched my boys for a week and treated not only them but my home like her own. She went above and beyond with updates, messages, videos, etc. I simply could not have asked for anything more. I will most definitely be booking with Samm again!”
“Charles was great. Meeko took to him right away during our meet and greet and his calm demeanor was very reassuring. He let me know about changes in his schedule in case we wanted to make alternative arrangements. He also communicated updates about Meeko’s eye and was happy to administer eye drops while we were out of town. He even left the sweetest gift for our baby that is expected to arrive later this year. Overall a great experience.”

A was attentive sent several pictures and provided updates, and the pups seemed very happy in her company. McKenna was the first river sitter. We've had to walk the dogs every day while I was out of town! I came home to stress free puppyloves, and a house that was well takeng care of, which was so greatly appreciated! I would absolutely recommend Makena and hope to re-book with her again soon!”

“The best ever! A fine gentleman who took wonderful care of Stella. He sent many pictures and videos. I can tell when Stella is happy, and she was happy in every one. A neighbor, who knows Stella well, approached me for the sole purpose of telling me what great care William gave Stella and how much time he spent outdoors playing with her. I think he was also hinting that William took better care of Strella than I do. William is the best without question and the first I will contact when I next go out of town. Will Quinn”

We could not have been more impressed with Lydia! We were nervous leaving our 5month old Dane pup for the first time but she settled in quickly! Lydia walked all the babies daily (we have a dog door so walking them isn’t required) & she worked on the puppy’s training in our absence. We got lots of pictures & it’s clear all 3 of the pups loved her! We came home to clean home & she even changed our bed! We’ll definitely be using her again!!
Emily took absolutely wonderful care of our dog during our weekend away. She was communicative, kind, and tidy. She left our house cleaner than when she found it! I can tell from the photos that our sometimes nervous pup was very comfortable with her. We’ll definitely be using Emily’s services again!
Charles was great. Meeko took to him right away during our meet and greet and his calm demeanor was very reassuring. He let me know about changes in his schedule in case we wanted to make alternative arrangements. He also communicated updates about Meeko’s eye and was happy to administer eye drops while we were out of town. He even left the sweetest gift for our baby that is expected to arrive later this year. Overall a great experience.
Krista is AMAZING! We are so happy with her and how she was with our boyz Dozer and Milo! She treated them like they were her own which means the world to us! We would more than highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone great to take care of their babies!
Rachel was amazing. She took great care of our dogs and was super communicative! She even took our one dog to the vet after an incident (nothing she could've done, just our two dogs that got into it) and she was super amazing. An absolute blessing in that moment when we couldn't be home.
Nikki was great. Harlem was a little snippy on day 1 but she let me know what was going on and was willing to try to make him more comfortable and it worked. I am grateful for her this holiday season as I was traveling . She sent pics and updates . I came back to a clean home and a happy pup.

FAQs for House Sitting - Kannapolis
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kannapolis on Rover is $44.4 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 2,656 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kannapolis. 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 Kannapolis 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 Kannapolis 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 Kannapolis 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
