About: I love pets! I have experience house/dog sitting for clients that have taken vacations of up to 15 days. While house sitting, I can also bring in mail and water plants. In the past, I have been able to watch up to 2 dogs at a time. I love the exercise that comes from walking dogs, and I welcome dogs that have both high and low energy levels. When given specific instructions about caring for someone's dog, I always follow them, never letting my previous experience and "what I usually do" come before meeting the expectations of my clients. I have lived with at least one dog as a pet for 18 years of my life. Let me take care of your dog and be an extension of your love towards them when you cannot be there. I have graduate school classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, but I am free for pet care outside of those hours. I am flexible to work around your schedule. I’ve house sat and taken care of cats and dogs while I’ve lived in the house. I’ve also stopped by houses periodically to walk dogs and feed them. I’m open to both methods.

“Malek did a great job letting Gimli adjust to a new human at his own pace. He asked for guidance when needed, to help Gimli build trust in him. Gimli greeted him happily when he returned to pick up his things, so I know Gimli feels comfortable. As the owner of a sensitive, intelligent and active dog this was just what I was looking for. Thank you, Malek!”

She sent us photos almost everyday and was very fast with her communication. Despite the long stay our house was clean and organized when we returned. We would highly recommend Lesly for looking after your pets.”

“Karachi was great! She took wonderful care of our older dog. She followed all the directions and requests we had and our dog was in great shape when we got back. Karachi was also an exceptional house guest, extremely clean and careful. Our dog has an involved feeding routine, needs to be let outside a lot, and doesn’t always do well when we leave town. Karachi was attentive to all of her needs and took great care of her. It was such a relief to know our dog was in good hands and was having a great week even though we were gone. We really appreciate Karachi and couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

About: I'm a dog-mom of a pup named Bear! I absolutely adore my dog and would share my love with your furry-friend! I've had Bear since he was a puppy and he's now 4.

So, I'm very comfortable and familiar with the care they need. I work remote, so my schedule is pretty flexible. As long as I have good notice I'm happy to care for your furry-friend! I do ask that if there are any request during regular business hours (8 am- 6 pm), that I can bring my work laptop. I love my dog very much and am really on top of his care/needs, so I completely understand and expect that from pet owners. I welcome any insights or feedback on how you'd like your pet to be cared for. I'll also be sure to provide updates, videos, and photos to show how things are going.

About: Attention all dog lovers! 🐾 We offer specialized services for your furry friend: 🐕 **Walks**: Enjoy exciting and safe strolls to keep your dog active and happy. 🏠 **Boarding**: We provide a temporary home full of care and attention, so your dog feels at home while you're away. 👂 **Sitting**: Personalized and loving care to ensure your dog receives the best companionship in your absence. Contact us for more information and ensure the best care for your four-legged friend! 🐶✨ #DogCare #DogWalks #BoardingAndSitting As a pet sitter, dog care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I establish a flexible schedule that allows me to provide constant and quality care to the dogs in my charge. Here's an example of how pet care fits into my routine: In my daily routine: In the mornings, I start early to visit the dogs in my care. This includes feeding them, changing their water, and providing individualized care based on their needs. Then I make sure to take brisk and stimulating walks so the dogs can exercise and socialize with other dogs, if appropriate and agreed with the owners. During the day, I am attentive to the needs of the dogs in terms of food, hygiene and recreation. I make sure they are comfortable and happy, giving them the attention and love they deserve. I am also available to attend to any special requirements that may arise, such as administering medications or providing additional care to dogs that need it. In my weekly routine: I spend extra time organizing and coordinating appointments and walks with dog owners, making sure we are in sync and every need is taken care of. I also take advantage of this time to keep myself updated on the latest techniques and knowledge in pet care, attending related courses or workshops. I dedicate myself to planning special walks and activities, such as visits to dog parks or additional training sessions, to provide them with enriching experiences. In short, pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly life. I am committed to providing quality care and ensuring that the dogs in my care receive the love, attention and care they need at all times. In my home, I prioritize the safety and comfort of pets. I have a designated space for them, with safe, non-hazardous areas that they can access. In addition, I maintain constant supervision and avoid leaving potentially dangerous objects or products within the reach of the animals. I also make sure they have access to fresh water, appropriate toys, and a comfortable place to rest. In my clients' homes, I take the time to familiarize myself with the surroundings and create a safe environment for pets. I verify that the doors, windows and fences are in good condition and well closed, thus avoiding any possibility of escape or accident. In addition, I make sure to follow the routines established by the owners so that the pets feel calm and comfortable in their own environment. Trust is essential in my pet care. I always make sure to establish open and constant communication with the owners. I send them regular updates on the well-being of their pets, photos and videos so they can rest assured that they are in good hands. I am also available to answer any questions or concerns you may have at any time. When it comes to the environment, I always take care to minimize my environmental impact while caring for pets. I use biodegradable bags to collect waste during walks and I try to use safe and environmentally friendly cleaning products. In addition, I encourage the use of sustainable toys and accessories, such as recycled or natural materials. In the home of my clients, I make sure to respect and maintain the established cleanliness and order. I always leave spaces as I found them and avoid causing any kind of damage. Also, if there are specific areas in the home that require special care for the pet, such as carpets or furniture, I follow the instructions and recommendations of the owners to keep those spaces clean and protected. In general, both in my home and in that of my clients, my approach is focused on safety, trust and respect towards pets, providing them with a caring and pleasant environment where they can feel protected and happy.

Julianne did everything we asked during a two-day overnight for our big boy. She visited beforehand to provide reassurance that this was a job she was up to. And she sure was up to it. She communicated very effectively throughout. She instantly bonded with Zeka and was there for him throughout the difficult nights of his needing to pee frequently. We could see that Julianne is very good with animals of all shapes, sizes and kinds. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend Julianne for your pet support needs. We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future.

I cannot say enough good things about Angela. Not only did she provide such loving care of my dog, but she acted heroically to save him from a vicious attack by an unleashed dog that appeared out of nowhere. Her heroic actions may have saved his life! She also took such good care of him after he was attacked and helped nurse him back from his injury. She is fantastic!

Tamara has stayed with our cat a number of times and is so understanding and patient. After we lost our dog the cat went into a depression for several months and Tamara displayed nothing but love for her. She’s faithful at adhering to a very specific feeding plan since the cat recently had thyroid radiation treatment. We’re very happy to use Tamara for pet care.

Nichole is absolutely amazing! My dog Lilo, is very skittish and is very slow to warm up and trust people but she warmed up so quickly to Nichole and even allowed her to take her out on a walk which is a win bc it can be difficult to get Lilo to go with someone she doesn’t know. You could tell that she definitely knows dogs really well and how to interact with them which is super important to us because Lilo is a rescue dog. Nichole was also super communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout the stay and is very warm and nice! We’ve already booked her again to watch our pup during our next trip. Thanks so much again Nichole.

FAQs for House Sitting - Kemp Mill

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Kemp Mill is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $78 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.

As of October 2026, there are 11,151 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kemp Mill. 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 Kemp Mill 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 Kemp Mill 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 Kemp Mill 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
