“Nichole was absolutely incredible taking care of our fur babies. She went above and beyond - offering to restock food and groceries, doing laundry, etc. in our home while we were away. In regard to the pups, I got numerous videos and photos every day of them playing, snuggling, and enjoying their time. She made sure they were active, comfortable, safe and loved. We will 100% be using Nichole again. I would recommend her for anyone looking for a house/dog sitter.”
“Izzy was so great - very responsive and took care of all my requests! Very grateful that I found her on Rover, and I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Aliyah went above and beyond in taking care of my cats. My youngest fur baby instantly warmed up to her, which is quite rare! Aliyah sent me lots of photos while I was away, easing my separation anxiety. Being away from my cats is never easy, but knowing they were in such great care with Aliyah made it so much better.”
“We had such a great experience with Jade! She stayed at our home with Fig while we were away and took such wonderful care of him. She was communicative, reliable, and made us feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. We came home to a happy pup and our house just as we left it. We would absolutely have her watch Fig again and highly recommend her!”
“I was out of town for 10 days I believe she did a great job with my dog except I came home my brand new coach bag was chewed up by the dog my dog cage was messed up the hinges are bent and twisted my furniture was scratched she put my plant outside and fried it 😢 I am not sure why she put my plant there its a house plant. I was very clear that the puppy should be caged and watched if not bc she is a chewer. I came back disappointed and now not only I have to replace a brand new bag and the dog cage and my planr. Im not sure what to say i don't understand happened she didnt let me know i just got home to discover it. I dont know what to do about the damaged stuff. She wasn't terrible but with these things I think id look for someone else.”
“Javien is amazing! He stepped in to care for our dogs for a few days at our place with barely any notice. Our dogs adored him right away! He also handled our dog’s diabetic needs, including insulin injections. Plus, he kept us in the loop with updates all day. We felt so confident that our dogs were in good hands, even when we needed a sitter last minute. We’re definitely going to ask Javien again for future pet sitter needs! Thanks, Javien!”
“Miranda did a wonderful job taking care of my dog! He is an elderly dog with health issues who needs to receive multiple medicines multiple times a day, and she handled it so well and made my dog feel safe, loved, and cared for while I was away. I am very grateful for that and highly recommend her!”
“Malek was amazing! Both Xochi and Vinny were well taken care of and the house was left behind immaculate! Xochi and Vinny have found their go to dog sitter, highly recommend!”
“Really appreciate Jared's attention to detail. Our pets have a somewhat complicated feeding schedule! Communication level was great and gave us peace of mind while we were away.”
About: For the past ten years, I have adopted and taken care of different senior rescue dogs. And puppies alike. I have been the primary dog watcher for my extended family and friends for many years. I love all dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities and I'm sure I'll love yours as well!! 😁 I'm currently working a full time job. However I work very close to home. I can walk your dog in the morning late afternoon and night before bed and always try for 3 walks a day. If you would rather I house sit your dog I can stay at your place and watch your furry friend there. I can also just come to you and walk your dog on the weekends. Let's get your dog the care they need!! 😁 I have an apartment which I own and am comfortable with your dog going anywhere they would like. While I prefer to let dogs roam my space and be at ease. I can crate them if you would prefer. If I house sat at your place I would follow your instructions and normal house rules to the letter.
“My Bella Dora was well attended to and I could tell how well taken care of she was by her temperament when I returned home. Larry gave her so much attention, I know she will miss him until I use him again.”
“Veronica is always amazing. She takes such good care of our 3 big labs. She plays with them I side and our. Takes them on long walks. They are exhausted when we get home!”
“Where to begin! We hired Rachel to house sit for a week while we went on vacation. Rachel was just wonderful! This was my first time not only using Rover but also my first time seeking out a dog sitter for an extended period of time. I was nervous about how the process was going to go, however i had nothing to worry about. Rachel was very attentive with my boys and spent plenty of time hanging out with them and making sure that they had lots of cuddle and play time. She provided me multiple photos daily and kept me up to date with everything happening back home while i was away on my vacation. Because of that I was able to be relaxed and stress free knowing my boys were in great loving care with Rachel. We returned home and our home was cleaner than we left it! I will absolutely be hiring Rachel in the future for all of my needs (drop in visits and house sitting) Book with confidence knowing your pets are in good care under Rachel!!”
“Lisa was amazing! Our Zoey is grumpy with new people but warmed right up to her! 10/10 would recommend to anybody. She was professional and communicated clearly with us. She even made sure to send pictures for my boys of the dogs' presents from Santa!”
“Belinda was an amazing sitter for our Ralphie! I knew from her initial responsiveness and kindness and her superlative reviews on Rover that Ralphie would be in great hands. Belinda really does check all the boxes. She is a wonderful communicator, sharing updates at a perfect frequency. I appreciated all the photos and videos capturing great interactions between her and Ralphie. In addition, Belinda left the house spotless, laundered the towels that she used, and washed Ralph's plates before leaving. It was an easy, pleasant, and stress-free experience that I hope to be able to repeat in the near future. Thank you sincerely, Bel!”

We will definitely book with Jordan again. She took our dog on extended walks and indulged Cali's belief that a 48-pound dog can be a lap dog. Jordan also provided several "proof of life" photos of our dog daily. While not required, she watered a few sad and dehydrated plants.
Angela and her brother, Fernando, did a fantastic job with our senior border collie with epilepsy. They were both extremely attentive to all of our instructions and Fernando sent wonderful videos twice a day. He strikes me as a true dog whisperer. They left our house in tip-top shape. I hope we can get them the next time we go away.
Julia is amazing! She’s been a great dog sitter each time we’ve used her! She sends us photos and written updates and this past time we had a ton of unexpected deliveries that she helped us with. It’s clear she loves all animals and supporting them based on our in person conversations.
Betty was an excellent house and cat sitter while we were away for nearly two weeks. We have two cats who tend to run and hide whenever someone comes into the house, so I was hoping they would warm up to Betty and get some much-needed attention. With patience and care, she won them over! Betty stayed overnight at our house, which gave us peace of mind knowing someone was there to look after things. She sent us pictures and kept us updated throughout our trip. Whenever questions came up, she reached out, and when I checked in to see how things were going, she always responded promptly. She took wonderful care of the cats, kept up with the litter box, and made sure they were happy and comfortable. When we returned home, the cats were content, and the house was in great shape. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and would happily recommend Betty to anyone looking for someone to care for their home and pets.
Christina was a wonderful sitter for our dogs! One of our dogs can be a little skeptical of new people, but she managed to earn his trust on the very first day! She was incredibly communicative, attentive, and caring, and truly treated our dogs as if they were her own. She even offered to stay very late until we were on our way home from the airport, just to make sure they were well taken care of. She genuinely goes above and beyond, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We couldn’t recommend Christina more highly to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies!!
Savina took excellent care of our pup over a multi-day trip. They followed our instructions to a "t", took Ursa on long walks and sent regular updates and photos. They also left the house in perfect condition - even laundered the sheets without being asked to. We would absolutely book Savina again and recommend them for your dog-sitting needs.
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.
Azucena is incredible and we highly recommend her services!!! Our dog is on the shyer side. But, Azucena went above and beyond to make sure our dog is comfortable. Now, our dog loves being with her!! She is very communicative and always provides updates. We are so happy to have found her!
Veronica was a fantastic sitter for my 2 year old Redbone Coonhound River! She kept me updated from the second she stepped through the door until she left. She sent multiple pictures and updates everyday and answered and questions I had promptly and without delay. She is a life saver! I couldn't have asked for a better person to house sit for River. She's beyond great!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Kemp Mill is $49 per night as of November 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.

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 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.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
