Renee was awesome! Super prompt, easy to communicate with, and really detail-oriented. She took great care of both my home and pup, and everything looked exactly the same as when I left. I’ll definitely be booking her again

Atlas, Molly and Triton enjoyed their time with Tina. We were away for a week and she did overnight stays with drop ins during the day. They did great with her and were happy and healthy when we got home. They get stressed in a kennel and were so much better with Tina. She also cleaned up the house which made returning home less stressful. The pups and I were super happy with Tina taking care of them! Triton gave her huge hugs when seeing her again so that was a great review from them!

About: I’ve been caring for pets for most of my life, helping friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, and providing companionship. I’m very attentive, patient, and gentle, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. I work full time on campus, which gives me a consistent schedule along with flexibility during lunch breaks and in the evenings. This allows me to provide reliable care, check-ins, walks, and quality time with pets. I’m also available on weekends and communicate clearly to coordinate schedules that work best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I’m attentive, calm, and reliable, and I make sure pets are well cared for during visits, walks, and evenings. I respect your home, follow instructions closely, and communicate regularly so you feel confident your pet is in safe hands.

SUPER🤩 This was our first time using Michaela, and she was absolutely wonderful! She watched our 5 year old lab at our home for a week and did a fabulous job with her. Cali is a very active and energetic lab. She followed her schedule and met Cali’s needs. Michaela made sure that her needs were met by getting her outside a few times during the day to play fetch with her frisbee and tennis ball, along with taking her on her walks. And not only that, Cali has a bit of anxiety at times and Michaela made sure she was loved and got the attention she needed while we were away. Michaela did check-ins and sent pictures daily( morning and evening). Michaela is very professional, caring and super friendly plus, she actually had more questions for us about Cali then we did for her, which was super impressive. She took notes about Cali starting with what her daily routine is like, her eating schedule, activities she likes, her behaviors etc. You name it, she asked it. My husband and I just knew after meeting with her, that she would be perfect taking care of Cali because you could just tell that she genuinely cares about your pet and their needs. We also felt super comfortable allowing her care for Cali and be in our home. We were so happy to find a kind, friendly, professional and trustworthy person to take care of Cali. Also, I am a bit of a clean freak and I can tell you, that my house was left the same way I left it….looked like she was never there, spotless! We were also having bad storms while we were away, so I texted Michaela about a few outside things on our deck that needed to be taken care of and she made sure it was all taken care of as well. A breaker tripped while she stayed with Cali, so she texted us the issue and we were able to call her and help get it resolved. Like I said before very professional, caring and kind. Her communication and dedication of care not only for our dog but our home was truly amazing. We will definitely be using Michaela’s services again and highly recommend.

Dylan with the help of Sophie were so great with our dogs while we were away! They were exhausted when we got home so we know they played hard. We appreciate their help and the excellent care they provided for our boys.

About: I have been involved with pet rescue for coming up on 10 years and have been an avid pet parent to all types of animals for my entire life. My family and I were responsible for the rehabilitation of pets with high needs. This involved pets with both behavioral concerns and medically fragile pets through my fostering experience. I work with them to ensure they can put their best paw forward into their forever home. I have also attended several pet training class for fosters and my own family pets and am generally good with pets of all temperaments. I work full time, but am committed to taking care of all of our pets! Primarily I would be looking for night and weekend work to make sure I have adequate time to spend with your fur babies. I have 3 cats that live in my home and mostly roam freely (except for mealtimes) I also have a large dog kennel in my home for boarding needs. I have a small fenced in yard and also live in an easily walkable area with lots of doggie neighbors.

About: I’ve been working in animal rescue since middle school, and have watched animals both in home and with drop-ins for many years now! I am passionate about animal care, can give medicine with ease, and love a good dog walk. I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician who is both fear-free and RECOVER CPR certified. I specialize in handling the more nervous patients who need a little TLC before doing anything. I always treat my client's pets as my own <3 I am currently working a variable number of shifts, no longer than 12 hours, so I would love to fit your pet into my schedule. On the days I am working, before and after work will be dedicated to their care! When the pets are in your home, they will feel comfortable when I am there as well. I will go over with you everything that you want to get done and make sure I meet your expectations with flying colors.

About: I haven’t taken care of dogs professionally but I have always had a deep love for dogs. I have owned an American Bully and English Bulldog on my own and have had multiple family dogs growing up. Having my own dogs, I have gone through the process of training two different types of temperaments and am looking forward to engaging/learning about more! I currently work from home as an accountant M-F. I have the flexibility to leave and return as needed. I could take my laptop if I needed to be around for an extended amount of time. Otherwise, I have the ability to use my flexibility to be present. I have an open living room setup and an English bulldog of my own to keep them company as well. We go on multiple walks a day and I make sure to try and exert the energy of whatever dog I am with at the time (so they don’t have much time to miss their parents 😂). I have room to crate the dogs if needed and also a pet camera that helps with monitoring.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with Border Collies and have also adopted several dogs over the years, so I'm comfortable with everything from high-energy working breeds to laid-back companions. I've also volunteered at several shelters, giving me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, temperaments, and backgrounds. I work from home (as does my wife) so your pet will be getting consistent, attentive care. To be honest, our dog passed away last fall and we are missing the joy of being dog owners and having dogs around, but we need something a little more flexible for the time being. You are getting two sitters for the price of one and we will care for your dog as if they were our own :) As a former dog parent who has used Rover, my goal is to provide exactly what I was looking for each time I booked a walker/sitter: clear communication, limited hassle, and all of the assurances that you can rest easy and not worry...your doggo is in good hands! I work from home and call my own hours (as does my wife) so as long as we know your dog's routine we will make sure to incorporate it into our own. We have a fenced-in yard and a walking path near our home so walks are never a problem (we love walks). My wife and I both work from home so one of us will always be giving your dog attention/supervision. We have previously owned dogs who were flight risks so we have been conditioned to keep an eye out, keep doors closed, etc. We have a big fenced-in yard and have a little indoor gate/fence that we use in the house if need be to secure a hallway, etc.

Rachel stayed with my pups for five days, and happened to be available at the last minute, which was a huge help. She was timely, communicative, and my dogs took to her right away. I felt very comfortable leaving the dogs in her care. She was responsive, sent super cute pics of the dogs and gave them their meds as instructed. She was even willing to help me get one of the dogs’ meds refilled. Overall, she was a pleasure to work with, and I felt very confident in her capabilities.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have always had two furry best friends at a time. Caring for dogs has always been part of a daily, natural routine for me! I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing and making sure they feel loved and safe when you’re away! I have an outgoing personality and enjoy spending time keeping dogs engaged while giving plenty of affection and attention! Every dog has their own personality so I take the time to understand them and adapt to make them feel comfortable as if they were my own! My goal is to provide dependable care for your pet so you can have peace of mind that they are in good hands! I currently am a part time server, allowing fluctuate hours for me to care for your pup! Typically work evenings during the week and mornings during the weekend! I have a fenced in yard and play pen for my current pup!

FAQs for House Sitting - Kemblesville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Kemblesville on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,599 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kemblesville. 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 Kemblesville 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 Kemblesville 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 Kemblesville 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 Kemblesville. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
