“When I met Kaitlin at the meet and greet I knew that I could trust her with my dogs in my home. She listened to the dogs needs and was there for them. She stayed late on the 4th of July as one of my two dogs is so afraid of fireworks. Kaitlin can follow medication needs. Sent pictures of the dogs at play and one of the dogs, the shy one, with her, by her side. I’ve scheduled Kaitlin for another long weeks.”
“Christine was truly the best sitter we could have asked for, and Honey and Maple absolutely adored her. She watched my girls for two weeks while we were overseas, and I honestly could not have felt better about leaving them with her. She treated them like they were her own and was so attentive to all of their little quirks. Somehow, without me even telling her, she figured out things like how they like to be tucked in when they go to sleep. 😂 She really got to know them and their personalities while we were gone. Honey and Maple are also very much sighthounds, so they come with some specific challenges. They can be picky about eating, and when they get playing too hard, they have a tendency to accidentally tear their skin. Christine handled both so well. She played with them constantly to keep them active and interested in eating, and she was so attentive to their play that she could redirect them before they got too rough. I came home to two happy dogs with no issues at all. She was also an amazing communicator and took great care of our house. More than anything, it was obvious how much she genuinely loved the dogs. I felt like she cared for them just as well as I would have, which is honestly the highest compliment I could give a sitter. I would trust Christine with Honey and Maple again without hesitation, and we will absolutely be hiring her again. If you are looking for someone who will really get to know your dogs and care for them like her own, I cannot recommend her enough. ❤️”
“David did an excellent job taking care of my dog! He sent regular updates and photos and was very patient with my dog’s quirky personality. David is our new first choice for taking care of our dog!”
“Daniel did a great job with our two boys. We have one who requires a lot of work because he is anxious, and the worst he did was eat a couple of paper napkins, which is a minor miracle. We really appreciated Daniel's dedication to them, and we would definitely hire him 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🤩”
“Aja was absolutely amazing and by far and away the best dog sitter we have ever had. Her professionalism, attentiveness, and attention to instructions is something we should all strive for in our respective fields. My wife and I had absolutely zero concerns about the well-being of our doggos with Aja, which made for that much more enjoyable of a trip for us knowing they were in the absolute best hands. 10/10 WILL book again.”
“Vanessa is our family. She TRULY cares about our fur children and treats them and our home as her own. She’s incredibly hard working, kind, and trustworthy. Don’t know what we would do without her!”
“Maria housesat for us for two nights and cared for our two medium-size dogs and cat. She goes above and beyond to make sure our pets are well-cared for and comforted. She is unbelievably thorough and thoughtful, and we were able to travel worry free. Highly recommend!”
About: I've had dogs for over 15 years and a cat for almost 10 years and love taking care of them. I currently have 1 older cat living with me and he is very kept to himself. He's a sweet little guy who isn't bothered by other animals as long as they don't bother him! My availability is any time between classes which are scattered throughout my week. This is a small part time job I've taken for fun while going through my medical school journey so I spend most of my time studying. However, I will happily take your pet to a nice study spot! I'd also love to spend my study breaks on walks or runs with your furry baby! I am very flexible with timing and cancellations. Though I don't have professional experience, I have been around animals all my life. I'm very good at following directions and love learning new things. If the dog has special necessities, I am willing to accommodate. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as a student. I often take dogs with me to quiet, dog‑friendly study spots, and I use my study breaks for walks, playtime, or runs. Because my class schedule is scattered, I’m very flexible throughout the week and can adjust care times as needed. Spending time with pets is a fun and refreshing part of my day. I care for pets by sticking closely to their regular routine and following all instructions for feeding, walks, meds, and special needs. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and comfort through walks, playtime, or relaxed hang‑out time. In my home, I have one older cat who mostly keeps to himself and does well around other animals as long as they don’t bother him. If needed, he can be comfortably kept separate in a bedroom he’s used to. I always aim to keep things calm, clean, and stress‑free for both pets and owners.
“Amanda was a fantastic house/pet sitter - she treat our pets like her own and sent us lots of photos and updates during the 2 night stay. She was a pro giving medicine on a timely basis and not intimidated by our spoiled rotten dog. We highly recommend her and will be using her again and again.”
“Faith was pro-active during our initial meeting. She asked about medication administration, update frequency, and feeding. During her stay she helped with bringing in our Amazon order. Updates included our teenage cat warming up to someone new and making sure our dogs new antibiotic was taken. Would book again without hesitation.”
About: I have taken care of all ages and kinds of dogs over the last 6 years! I have also taken care of all ages and kinds of cats and bunnies! I am currently taking a year break from college, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am doing Rover full time at the moment so there will not be anything else getting in the way of your pet's care! I will do any and everything you need me to make sure that your pet's are receiving the absolute best care! I completely understand that each pet is different and requires different things and I will make sure they receive whatever they may need!
About: My father owned a pet care business in New Jersey but now that I've moved to North Carolina I'm ready to continue doing what I love by myself. I plan on making this my full time job, I currently work remote so I am free any time of the day any day of the week 😁. My care is fully respectful of my clients wishes, pets will never be over or under fed, they will have plenty of exercise and play time and the house will always be clean when I'm done.
About: Big dogs at the Dawg House! I moved to NC in July and have lived all around the country, hauling my two pups along with me. A German shepherd and a Great Dane, they make for great friends for our guests, playing, chasing and living it up. My home has a fenced yard and the neighborhood is perfect for walks. Typically I’m up before 7 to get the dogs a walk before it’s too hot. A quick walk/playtime around lunch does the trick to hold the energy over till it cools off. A long walk at dusk usually wears out my pup, but we can work together to get yours all it needs too! I have a fenced in yard and am located right near a trailhead. I have a home to myself, plenty of space to care for both your dog and mine. I have a guest bath that works great for dirty paws and tails too! With my two pups I’m constantly taking time to get them outside, but once we’ve got our heart rates up it’s usually a puzzle or game indoors that settles mine down. I’ve got eyes and ears like a hawk, active mostly during the day I don’t typically leave the dogs alone. If I need to I have a GIANT crate I typically use for my Great Dane that will be a perfectly safe place for your puppy.
“This was my first time using the app, and I definitely wasn’t disappointed with Jazmine! She sent pics when I was away of my dog and I thought that was so sweet! She was even willing to stay a little longer to watch my dog! Definitely shows you how great of a person she is! Would 100% recommend!!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Lillington is $29 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $45 per night.

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 Lillington 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 Lillington 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 Lillington 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
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.
