“I recently visited from out-of-town and Marci stayed in my hotel room with my cannot-be-alone French bulldog, Teddy, while I was out at work events. Marci is friendly, responsible, easy to communicate with, and gave Teddy everything he needed (including cuddles). I know he was comfortable with her because he usually refuses to eat while I'm gone but he ate his dinner with her! She made sure he got his energy out and tinkled too. Marci made my life so much easier-- you can tell she "gets" dogs.”
“Betty is amazing, we couldn't be happier with the services she provided. From the meet & greet thru to the end of her stay she was on top of everything and always in communication. Margo and Griffin adored her and we all look forward to Betty coming back again and again.”
“Erin was absolutely amazing for us and our two dogs! She was super easy to work with and even was helpful with accommodating very last minute booking extensions due to flight cancellations. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Hayley did a great job with our two Bulldogs. They can definitely be high-maintenance, but she handled them very well. Overall, it was a great experience, and we were very happy with her care.”
“Nikima did an amazing job while I was gone for 5 days. She sent a lot of pictures and activie reports through her stay with my pup. Bae loves her for sure. She was great about walking and feeding and giving him his meds. She even went above and beyond and swept the house and made sure everything was neat for my return. Looking forward to booking again for my next trip.”

“Chelsey was fantastic with my three dogs and cat. It was a holiday weekend and I was nervous about leaving my elderly dog for any length of time. Chelsey sent many pictures and regular updates. When we got home the house was perfect and all the babies were relaxed and happy.”
“Kylee did a wonderful job caring for our dogs while we were away. She was reliable, on time, and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention. We also really appreciated that she left our home clean and tidy when she left. It's always nice to come home to happy pets and a clean house! We would absolutely book with Kylee again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Elizabeth was AMAZING!! She spoiled our girl in the best way possible. She sent picture updates throughout the day and kept us appraised of our girls wellbeing. We will be utilizing Elizabeth in the future for care for our girl while we are away and unable to take her with us.”
About: I love dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. I take meeting an animals and owners needs seriously and love making a connection with any pet. My schedule is very flexible so I am able to meet a variety of different needs. I am able to accommodate pets with higher needs. I am big on maintaining an animals current routine and upholding the rules and expectations set by owners to give pets as much consistency as possible when their owner is away
“Desirae was awesome and my dogs loved her! Not only did she allow me to book her on short notice (only a few days prior), she communicated great, sent lots of pics and videos of my 2 dogs, and followed my directions to the tee. My husband and I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Kristin was the best pet sitter for my German Shepherd dogs!!!! Everything went ever so smoothly even though my boys are young and somewhat hardheaded!! Thank you soooo much Kristin!!! Will definitely book you again!!! Duncan and Bear said they miss you!!! 🥰”
“We cannot say enough great things about Blanca. She cared for our home and dogs for three and half days and did an amazing job! We came home to a clean house, clean dogs, and she even worked on some training with them!! They had her full undivided attention the entire time and were so spoiled with cuddles, long walks, and playtime! We would recommend her 100 times over and will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you so much, Blanca!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kernersville
Aubrey was fantastic!!! She took care of my German Shepard..sofie for 5days. I was so nervous about leaving her because I haven’t left her side for almost 6 years. Aubrey sent me pictures and she kept in touch everyday. She was so professional and loving and there is absolutely no way I would ever have anyone else be with my baby. She is like family now!!!
So amazing! I felt very comfortable leaving my boy Blu with Gabrielle. ❤️ I received lots of photos and updates throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I was especially happy to hear that he was eating, playing, and going potty like normal because in the past, when I’ve left for a few days, he usually won’t do any of those things due to anxiety. It was so reassuring knowing he felt comfortable and well cared for with her. I would absolutely trust her to watch him again. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative sitter!
I was nervous to leave our dog with someone I didn’t know, but Skylar put me at ease from our first interaction. Skylar did a fantastic job taking care of our dog. She took care of all his needs (including medication), communicated daily, and really went above and beyond. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Kernersville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kernersville on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 919 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kernersville. 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 Kernersville 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 Kernersville 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 Kernersville 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 Kernersville. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
