“Kayden was great! You can tell she has a way of getting pets to quickly get close with her. My pup Roman is battling isolation anxiety, and was very happy to have Kayden come by. Not only that, but she went above and beyond with updates and even keeping my house very tidy! She goes above and beyond. I am super grateful for her and will be rebooking :)”
“Brad did a great job staying with our dog in our home. She is very new to our family (adopted < 2 weeks ago), so we were a little nervous leaving her overnight. Brad came in with confidence, brought all of his own supplies for his stay, and was great about sending us pictures to help us know Josie was doing just fine while we were away. He is a real pro at this!”
“Amanda did such a great job with our two dogs. One is older and takes daily medications and the other anxious, especially when we aren’t home. Additionally, she was flexible to stay an additional night when we had the opportunity to extend our trip. She was great to communicate and had our anxious dog snuggling with her. The house was extremely tidy when she left. Our AC went out after a power outage/surge and Amanda was great to share what was happening. She stayed with our dogs and was available even though the HVAC company couldn’t arrive until 9pm. I highly recommend Amanda and look forward to having her take care of our boys again.”
“Allie house sat for a week & took care of our 4 cats, salt water reef fish tank & fresh water fish tank. She did a great job. Followed the long list of instructions perfectly. The cats warmed up to her quickly. Very responsible & smart. No issues at all. Highly recommend.”
“I truly can’t recommend Katie enough! From the moment we left, I knew my boys were in the best hands. She loved and cared for them like they were her own, and all of the photos and updates she sent made being away from them so much easier. It was obvious they were happy, comfortable, and getting so much love and attention. Coming home to two happy pups and an unexpectedly tidy house was the icing on the cake. She went above and beyond in every way, and I’m so grateful for the care she gave both our dogs and our home. We will 100% be booking with her again, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pets.”
“Elizabeth was fantastic and kept great communication with us while we were away. We could see that Lou took to her easily and she took great care of our special boy. We'd highly recommend her and hope she'll be available in the future. It was such a relief to find great help.”
“Christina stayed at our home and took care of our fur-babies while we moved our daughter to college. She kept us updated daily on how everyone was doing and everyone was happy and well taken care of when we got back! Already booked for our next time away and look forward to having her stay in the future 😊”
“Lauren did a phenomenal job with our fur babies. From the time she replied to our request she took the time to listen and understand our challenges. Then she came over and took the time to familiarize herself with both of our babies ensuring there wouldn’t be any issues. Great job and great person.”
About: Pet's are more than just pets, they are family and deserve to be treated as such. I enjoy getting to know each animal's personality. I have experience with medium, large, and extra large dogs. I have free afternooons and weekends to walk dogs, dog sit, petsit, feed, or just let them out for a bathroom break and play time. When I care for client's pets I always leave the house in better condition than I arrived. I follow instructions to the degree in which they are written and love on your pet like you would.
“Nicole accomodated our needs verywelll looking aftero our two Jack Rusells. She gave them the attention they needed and took care of the few other needs like watering the plants. We will definitely use Nicole again. Thanks!”
“Savannah did a great job caring for my dog. She was very responsive and kept me updated frequently with messages and pictures. I will definitely book with her again.”
“My new go-to dog sitter. I’ve had a lot of bad experiences on Rover, especially having a 70 pound highly anxious lab which most people can’t handle or are afraid of. Safe to say I was little anxious leaving them (lab + two cats) alone for a few days on break, however, I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Hes basically with the babies 24/7 which is exactly what I needed. He’s flexible which helps if you don’t have a steady schedule. Overall a positive experience and will be booking with him again. All my babies were in good hands and it honestly seem like they didn’t miss me very much lol.”
“I would highly recommend Caitlin as a dog sitter! We were going out of the country and I’ll be honest we’re a little nervous about leaving the girls with someone we didn’t know with us being so far away and because it was going to be a 13hr time difference. As soon as we met Caitlin and saw both how sweet she was with our girls and how much they loved her we knew they’d be in good hands. She provided us with thorough updates, made sure to communicate often, and was very observant with our fur babies. I could tell that she took wonderful care of the girls and she also left our home immaculate. Thank you again!! ❤️”
“Meghean was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of Tiger and Sky, kept me updated with messages and photos, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for them and treated them like her own. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for pets. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much, Meghean!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Jaime! She was absolutely amazing. Our dogs, Luna and Norman, adored her from the start, and it was clear they were well-loved and well-cared for while we were away. We came home to a spotless house — she even picked up the dog poop in the yard and washed the sheets she used, which went above and beyond our expectations. We will definitely be using Jaime again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter!”
About: I love meeting all types of dogs! I am looking for a quick way to put a smile on my face and meet some doggies! I am always on time, very friendly and willing to do the most I can for your pup! Familiar with small and big dogs. I have taken care of my own dogs, as well as overnight dog sat and did daily walks for multiple dogs in the past few years. I am a college student completing my program remotely! I have a Bachelor’s degree in Human Physiology and am now attending nursing school! I work an in person job, but spend most afternoons at home! Open to weekends if needed!! I am very responsible for your house and belongings and will make sure that everything is locked up tight after leaving. I will clean up any accidents or spills from water/food if necessary. I will make sure your dog is happy and comfortable when checking in on them and taking them out!
About: I have 5 years of pet care experience. I have experience in all kinds of pets, from check in to feedings, walks and clean up. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to care your pets. Im available for walking, sitting and check ins all week and spontaneous scheduling as well. Keeping to their normal routine to minimize stress is one of my biggest priorities. Makes for a calmer happier pet as most get stressed being away from their parent.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Norman of Catawba
Catherine was so great with our pup Benny. So responsive, sent fun photos/updates, and was open to adjusting for our/Benny’s needs. She also stayed in our home and treated it just as we would, which is so appreciated. Will definitely be booking with Catherine again, we think our pup misses her now that we’re back!!
Elizabeth did a fantastic job watching our two senior pups! She was very communicative and sent updates every visit. She was incredibly patient with our more anxious dog and spent a lot of time making sure our pups were comfortable and safe. I can’t say enough how grateful and impressed we are!
Nicole was great with our dogs. Stella my Weimaraner has very bad anxiety. She doesn’t really warm up to many people. She just loved Nicole. I had no worries leaving her with Nicole. I will definitely use Nicole again. Thanks Nicole for making my trip relaxing.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Norman of Catawba
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Norman of Catawba on Rover is $51.73 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,646 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Norman of Catawba. 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 Lake Norman of Catawba 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 Lake Norman of Catawba 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 Lake Norman of Catawba 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.
