“Nicole was wonderful to our pups! This was the first time we’ve left them overnight since adopting them so we were a little nervous at first. But she completely calmed our nerves!! I cannot thank her enough for treats them like they are hers. We will for sure be using her again! Thank you, Nicole!!”
“Miranda went above and beyond for us! She was highly communicative with text and picture updates. Our older dog started not feeling well and she handled everything perfectly. Book Miranda with confidence!”
“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.”
“Absolutely amazing fur baby caretaker! My cat likes her more than us! The house was probably cleaner when I came home than when I left. I low-key don't want her name to get out just so she won't be booked when we need a petsitter again!”
“Layla was phenomenal. She is so thoughtful and thorough when it came to taking care of my two dogs. She was kind, curious about their schedule, and incredibly considerate of my home. Thanks Layla!”
“Amanda was great!!! She took great care of Nova and sent me plenty of pics and updates about my baby. She also left the cutest report card about her time with Nova and how everything went. Super dependable and kind!!”
“Dawn was absolutely wonderful. She stayed at my house with my two dogs and cat and took amazing care of them. She sent videos and pictures of each of them throughout the day, was able to give all the medications, and took amazing care of my home. It was great to be able to just relax on my trip and not have to worry about my fur babies and home.”
About: With more than 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I have had the opportunity to work with all types of breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. My experience includes caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, large and small breeds, and dogs with a wide range of personalities and individual needs. I am patient, dependable, attentive, and comfortable adapting my care to each dog’s unique routine and temperament. I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while ensuring that every dog receives the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they need. Over the years, customers have greatly enjoyed my services and appreciated my friendly, caring, and likable personality. I have built positive relationships with both dogs and their owners, earning trust through reliable care and genuine compassion for animals. My goal is always to make sure every dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while in my care. I work full time but dont work a typical 9-5 so Im very flexible and able to work around most schedules. And rarely take vacations so weekends are typically open. I have a great dane who wants to be freinds with anything with 4 legs and definitely two legs. Hes not territorial or aggressive. So keeping your pet here would be a fun time for everyone. Back yard is not fenced so your dog would always be on a leash. But we would go for walks pending your approval as I live in a perfect neighborhood for walking.
“Very commutative and took great care of my fur baby! Really put in the extra effort and made sure everything was taken care of for my return home. Will definitely book again and recommend to anyone who needs a pet sitter!”
“Erin was great with our dogs and our house! We needed a last minute sitter and thankfully she was available. She was very responsive and sent so many updates and pictures while we were away. She kept our dogs and house in great condition, which made coming home smooth!”
“Nicole was amazing with our Sadie girl! She made our first time leaving our fur baby seamless with detailed updates, and lots of love to our girl! We look forward to booking with her again.”
“John is the best at what he does when it comes to pet care. He went above and beyond caring for our dog, cat and the house and was extremely responsible. It was our first experience with the Rover app and definitely a successful one. John sent daily pics and videos and kept us informed throughout the week. Our pets were secure and happy, and our house was spotless upon return. Exceeded my expectations. I would definitely book with him again! Thanks, John!”
“Chenelle did such a wonderful job. Her meet and greet was thorough. She left thoughtful updates and sent tons of pictures outlooks times a day. She even was able to handle a maintenance emergency at the house while I was gone!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Knightdale
Tyler was amazing with our dog Walter! He was so patient and gentle with our shy boy. Before we left town Walter had to go to the vet for an upset stomach and gas so he needed to take medicine while we were gone. Tyler was super comfortable giving him medicine and his special diet. We got regular updates about his food, eating, and walks. Tyler left the house in great condition and by the end of the week Walter was asking for belly rubs. We would absolutely book Tyler again for pet sitting.
Amy seamlessly managed our house of 4 pets while we were out of town for a few days, and provided us such a relief with her trusted care. Our pets can be high maintenance: 3 of the 4 require medication and one of our dogs needs a very slow introduction as she’s slow to warm up. We noticed our dog almost immediately settle in with Amy’s warm, calm demeanor and she was cuddled up next to Amy same day. We appreciated Amy letting us know when everyone was officially settling in for the night, and it was such a relief to know our pets were in good hands. We came home to a clean house as well. We’ll absolutely be using Amy again in the future!
Amaya was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at our house and took wonderful care of our two dogs - one of which is an older pup with some health issues who requires several daily medications. The dogs both loved her instantly, I felt such peace of mind knowing Amaya was with our fur babies.
Myeisha was absolutely wonderful. Communicative, timely, and stayed overnight at my house for 4 nights while we were on vacation. I’m truly grateful as she took great care of my dog and my cat and my home too, vacuuming, taking out the trash, and putting the bedding in the wash before she left. Truly wonderful!
This was our second time having Erin dog and house sit for us, and once again she was absolutely wonderful. We always feel completely comfortable leaving our home and dog in her care. Our dog adores her and was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned, and our house was in perfect shape. She communicates thoughtfully and clearly, which gives us so much peace of mind. We would not hesitate to recommend her and will happily have her sit for us again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Knightdale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Knightdale on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,860 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Knightdale. 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 Knightdale 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 Knightdale 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 Knightdale 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.

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.
