“Christine went above and beyond for our babies while we were away for 10 days. We were so nervous to leave them but she put us at ease from the moment she met them and us. Throughout our trip she sent daily updates with so many great photos. We could tell the dogs absolutely loved her and may have been having even more fun with her around! She was so attentive to every detail and even left the dogs treats with a sweet note welcoming us home. We will definitely be using Christine for pet care again in the future, our dogs will be so happy to see her again when the opportunity presents itself!”
“We loved Chelsea!!! She stayed at our home for four days and three nights. Our dogs are fairly picky in showing affection towards others, but not Chelsea. They loved her from the start. She was gracious enough to meet us prior to agreeing to watch our dogs so we would feel comfortable using Rover for the first time. We received about 10-15 pictures a day of her feeding and playing with our dogs. They seemed so much happier than having someone stop by. We are so grateful for her and will book with her again and again.”
“We had the BEST experience with Loren watching our dogs! She watched our two golden retrievers and even brought her own golden over during the day so they could all play together. Our boys loved it! She kept us updated, took great care of everyone, and treated our house like it was her own. She sent lots of cute pictures too. Highly recommend Loren and will definitely use her again in the future🤩”
“I am a bit OCD about my boy, who also happens to be a big baby who can't eat, poo or pee if left at boarding. Anthony was great. He provided me with pics and updates and proved to be a great sitter for my pup. Thanks!”
“I was gone for more than a week over the holiday break and having Kristine watch my dog in my home made me not be stressful being away. She provided consistent communication and photos and my pup was well cared for while I was gone.”
“Cayla was a big help with Piper while we were away for a week. Cayla impressed us from the minute we met her during a meet and greet. She was great with Piper and her attitude about caring for someone else's pet was spot on - professional, cautious, and inquisitive. Cayla was always quick to respond or to reach out with questions. Unfortunately, early in the stay Piper was being a pill about getting her harness on but Cayla was patient with her and worked through several approaches until she found what worked. Cayla left the house in great order. We would not hesitate to book her again for our next trip away.”
“Kristy was incredible!!! This was the first time we have done anything like this and she knocked it out of the park. Kristy took our girls in while we were away getting married (Sadly girls couldn't be with us) and they loved her! Kristy provided daily updates as well as pictures keeping us up to date on the girls and made it feel very special. Any time we go out of town and can not bring the girls, we will definitely be reaching out again! 10/10!!!”
“Jennifer was amazing! We have a menagerie of animals and we have had a run of pet sitters that have not taken care of our pets the way that we do. For the first time, I went on vacation and didn't worry about my babies. Everyone, including the chickens and parrots, were happy when we got home. Our retriever even attempted to follow her out when she left, which was a compliment to how she took care of them. We will definitely hire her again to take care of our babies. THANK YOU JENNIFER!!!! We are glad we found you!”
“Cora did an excellent job with my first baby Tiller, while we were in the hospital for an extended stay to have my actual first baby. Regular updates and enjoyed her time watching tiller live her best life”
“Met Kaylee before the dog sitting. For her to meet the dogs. Kaylee was very good with meeting the dogs and understanding expectations. Kaylee is responsible. This young lady has good life experience. At first met with the dogs they settled right in with her. I’ll use her again.”
“Ella was fantastic! She was dependable and spent a lot of time with our dogs playing outside. We came home to happy, well taken care of dogs! I would absolutely trust my fur-babies with her again.”
About: I’m a newly Certified Vet assistant who deeply loves caring for pets! I’m also certified in Diet and Nutrition as well as Pet CPR. Taking care of animals has always been my biggest passion! I’m currently working part time so this leaves room to be attentive and in the moment while caring for your pets while still leaving room for certain all day/ over night needs as well as just drop ins. I have two friendly female medium/ large dogs. We have a fenced in back yard with lots of space to play. We would love to have your pet over!
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for 10+ years. From energetic puppies to senior lapdogs, I’ve helped with walking, feeding, bathing, and administering medications. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to love their pets like my own. I currently have a calm and cuddly Shih Tzu and Shichon who get along well with other dogs, making my home a welcoming, peaceful environment. Whether your pet needs lots of play or quiet companionship, I'm here to give them a safe, happy stay. I work remotely and am home 24/7, which means your dog will receive constant care, attention, and supervision. I’m available for boarding and daytime stays throughout the week and weekends. I truly believe in protecting the well-being of every dog—I would never put a pup in a stressful or unsafe situation because it’s not morally right. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. My home is a calm, pet-friendly space. I closely supervise all interactions to ensure a safe, stress-free experience. I’m also comfortable crating upon request, following feeding/medication routines, and keeping your pet on their usual schedule for maximum comfort and care.
“Loren was awesome taking care of our 3 dogs. She sent a lot of pictures and kept in touch keeping our minds at ease during our vacation. I would recommend her taking care of other people’s animals.”
“Erika did a fantastic job pet/house sitting for us. Our doggos and kitty were happy and healthy, and the house was neat as a pin. She even sent us pics and updates. We will definitely use her again! 😊👍”
“Bre was a great house sitter! My dog was so well cared for and loved on. Bre even checked our mail and washed the towels she used. She’s a great person for your next house sit or pet sit. Will definitely use her again to care for my dog and home.”
About: Bye Raleigh, Hello Fuquay Varina! I have been living in Fuquay with my boyfriend, we are currently saving up for our wedding! We know how expensive dog boarding can be and want to provide great service at a reasonable price! We both have watched pets for neighbors, families, and friends for many years. I previously watched animals in Raleigh on Rover when I was living the single life. Andrew works from home daily while I am hybrid so your dog will have very minimal time without human/dog interaction. We do have 2 dogs (65 pound lab staffy mix & 30 pound terrier mix) and 2 cats, the dogs are very dog friendly and the cats stay upstairs and usually avoid unknown dogs. We prefer if a dog is cat friendly but can make accommodations to keep the animals separate if a dog is not cat friendly. We have a large fenced in back yard and have a good walkable neighborhood for dog walks! We will take great care of your pup while you are away! Your dog will come home exhausted from a fun weekend of play! I am hybrid and Andrew works from home, it is easy for us to provide round the clock supervision for pets. We both have weekends completely off and make the weekends all about the doggos Our dogs will keep your dog/dogs company, both are very dog friendly and not toy or food aggressive. We have a crate your dog can use or dog can be uncrated depending on preference. At night we prefer all the dogs to sleep in our room or to stay downstairs with a baby gate so the cats can roam.
“Josh was super amazing with our pups! I felt very much at ease going out of town knowing they were in good hands. :) He sent pictures throughout the weekend and had very good communication. I will definitely recommend to family and friends and will look forward to using his services in the future if he is available. :)”

Phinette did a fantastic job staying with my energetic Corgi pup, Cornbread! She made sure that Cornbread was consistently cared for with plenty of picture and video updates while I was away. Phinette followed Cornbread’s routine for exercise and food and went above and beyond in her care. I would definitely recommend Phinette if you’re in need of a sitter!
There are just not enough words to accurately RAVE REVIEW Christine! She is the BEST! 1 day before leaving to get married our dog was diagnosed with a UTI, she’s an old lady and was put on two meds. I was so worried that Christine wouldn’t feel comfortable with the meds, nope she text me back saying she could handle it and everything would be fine! Our Dogs LOVE her And so do we!!!!!
Absolutely wonderful! Erica did such a fantastic job with our cats. We were gone for a family reunion and were away for 12 days. She sent us photos and videos every day which gave us peace of mind knowing she was with our girls. She also took great care of the house as well. Very highly recommended!
Bryce was amazing! He was so nice and respectful when he came by to meet us and the dogs before we left, and he paid attention to every little detail we shared. He stayed overnight and sent updates and pictures from every walk, which was great. You can tell he truly cared for our pups and took great care of our home, everything was spotless when we got back. Highly recommend!!

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 Kennebec 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 Kennebec 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 Kennebec 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!

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.
