“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.”
“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.”
“Our dogs were very happy and we really appreciated all the texts and pictures so we knew how everything was going. We highly recommend her and will definitely hire her again”
“I simply cannot express the relief I had while traveling with Vanessa as my house/pet sitter. I have 2 cats and was babysitting my daughters cat, who arrived the day I left. Vanessa sent pics everyday of the cats snuggled with her or chilling in their fav spots! My trip was very unexpected, and it was my first time using Rover. I’ve always wary booked Vanessa again for a trip I had planned and was going to take my cat to my daughters, but it was so much more relaxing for them here in their home❤️”
“Molly has been walking our dogs for a couple of weeks, and we couldn’t be happier! Our dog, Finn, is pretty nervous and weary of strangers, but Molly has been really patient with him! Would 100% recommend”
“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!”
“Cora was an excellent sitter that got Ozzy and Dee out for many walks. They loved her and she was attentive and an extremely good communicator which put our minds at ease. Definitely will look to book again and highly recommend to all pet owners!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience caring for senior dogs, including my own 13-year-old companion, Angel. She’s a wonderful example of how older pets can still be energetic and joyful with the right care and attention. I understand the unique needs of senior animals, such as gentle exercise, medication management, and extra patience. Additionally, I’m skilled at adapting activities to suit each pet’s age and personality, whether it’s training puppies or providing comfort to older pets. My compassionate approach ensures every pet feels safe, loved, and engaged, no matter their stage of life. I work part time so i’m just down to do this whenever I am free . THE MORE BABIES THE BETTER , I have a semi flexible schedule I have a fenced yard and I can care for your baby almost as well as you can IF YOU LET ME GIMME THE FUR BABIESSSSS
About: I have sharpened my abilities in dog care and customer service, ensuring that the pets under my supervision receive the highest level of care and attention. My commitment to safety rules and adaptability allows me to handle various situations with ease, whether walking multiple dogs or catering to the unique needs of each pet. I possess a strong set of skills including cleaning, dog care, customer service, communication, time management, and problem solving. My strengths such as adaptability, responsibility, attention to detail, patience, reliability, and work ethic further enhance my ability to excel in this role. I have hands on experience working in professional dog daycare environments, including at Dogtopia and The Board Hound. In these roles, I cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments in a structured group setting. My responsibilities included supervising playgroups, ensuring safety and positive behavior, feeding and basic care routines, and maintaining a clean, controlled environment. This experience helped me develop strong skills in dog behavior management, calm handling in high energy situations, and building trust with both pets and their owners. Currently Monday-Friday my availability is open. Have time in the morning, lots of time in the afternoon, I can also do overnight if its needed. I like to work with my clients to get an understanding of their pet's daily routine, including feeding times, exercise needs, medications, and special requirements.
“Virginia recently spent the week with our dog and cat, both of whom are elderly. She stayed in touch with us throughout our trip to let us know how they were doing, working with us to adjust their meal plan. She went the extra mile to make sure they were comfortable and happy, which we really appreciated given that they’re not used to us traveling. I would definitely book Virginia again to pet sit and look after them!”
“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!”
About: Neighbors, family and friends trusted and relied on me to walk, bathe, feed, and play with their fur babies and can count on me to love their pets🐾 I currently have a wide availability during the week and weekends (select Sundays available upon request) for Mondays-Saturdays for the morning hours (7am-11am), afternoons (12 pm-4:30pm) and evening hours (4:30pm-9pm). I have a clean and quiet home and open space for play and big couch for cuddles and dog tv watching. My house has three levels for any fur baby to sit on the landing spot of the stairs
“Angela took great care of my dogs at the last minute and kept me updated the whole time with messages and photos. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Christina is amazing. She is so good with Tyson. She’s watched him for me two separate occasions and both times I didn’t worry about Tyson. She’s attentive, caring, punctual and a joy to be around. I’ve found a true gem🙏🏿🧡”
“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!”
“Juna was an absolute pleasure to work with. She pet sat for our 2 dogs and 2 cats… 3 out of the 4 are seniors and take medication and one special needs dog who went blind 6 months ago. She handled our “motley crew” with such care and grace and communicated with us regularly making sure we knew they were doing fine. We will definitely be using Juna again to care for our animals.”
“Monica did a home sit with our senior dog for a week.He can be skittish and we could see in the photos she sent that within a day or two he was very comfortable with her. She also collected our mail and feed the fish in our pond. The house was spotless when we returned. She had good questions about Buddy's needs in our initial meeting that showed she cared about the assignment. We plan to book Monica again in the future and highly recommend her.”
“Janis did a wonderful job house sitting our two cats! She was super responsive and sent us lots of updates and photos during our vacation. She got our more shy cat to come out of her shell and gave our more friendly cat all the attention she wanted.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Kemp Mill is $50

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!
Monica was wonderful with Daphne and Sam! She took such great care of them, was reliable and attentive, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups. I’m so grateful and would absolutely trust Monica with them again!
I had such a great experience!! She was incredibly accommodating, considerate, flexible and understanding especially on such short notice.She was also very responsible and attentive, making sure my dog was safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the day. I really appreciated the regular updates—it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and in good hands. Ocean also warmed up to her quickly, which gave me even more confidence that he was safe, comfortable. I would definitely recommend her and will absolutely book again!🐾❤️ Look no more and book with this amazing rover.
Nichole is a INCREDIBLE! She is so kind, caring, and trustworthy and we recommend her to anyone. We have two very high maintenance and reactive dogs. She is AWESOME with them. They love her, and Nichole really understands pets so well. She goes above and beyond to take care of our dogs and our home. Can’t wait to hire again and we recommend her to anyone and everyone! 1000/10
Jordan was a fantastic in-home, overnight sitter for our dog, Lily, who fell in love with Jordan during our very first meet & greet! Jordan provided the most amazing end-of-day reports and sent plenty of photos during their long walks, of Lily eating her meals, and their cuddle time at night. Jordan is friendly, punctual, responsible and highly engaged. We were at ease during our trip knowing that she was back at the house taking care of our fur baby! Will absolutely use Jordan again! 5-stars!
We had a great experience and would definitely use her again! She took wonderful care of our dogs and our home while we were away. She was very polite, communicative, and thoughtful throughout our trip. She also checked in multiple times to see if there was anything else we needed her to take care of while we were gone. We didn’t end up needing anything additional, but we really appreciated her offering and knowing she was happy to help. We came home to happy dogs and a well-cared-for home. Highly recommend!
We were a bit nervous traveling out of the country for 9 days, leaving behind our rather anxious (and less-than-trusting) Xavier, along with our overly-zealous (and a bit needy) Barnaby, with a sitter they didnt really know, for the first time. Well...there was NO reason to be nervous. Betty was superb! She connected with the doggos right away, and they enjoyed all of her attention throughout the week. When we came home, the boys were happy & healthy & content. The house was in great shape. Betty went above-and-beyond, taking care of the home-front with professionalism and maturity, sharing regular communications & photos. Thank you Betty. We hope to see you again soon!
Gio is absolutely wonderful. She takes Daphne and Samson out every week and also stayed with them this weekend while I was away, and I cannot say enough good things about her. She is incredibly kind, dependable, communicative, and genuinely cares about them. I came home to two very happy, relaxed dogs who had clearly been loved and spoiled all weekend. Daphne and Samson both adore her, and I always feel comfortable knowing they’re in her care. I’m so grateful to have found Gio and would absolutely recommend her!
Sam is an outstanding dog-sitter! He had great communication before and during the sit - he sent photo updates multiple times each day we were away. He took the dogs on lovely walks and had nice playtimes with them. He left the house nice and clean for when we arrived back and the dogs were all so happy and well looked after. I would definitely recommend and we hope to have Sam sit for us again in future.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
