“I cannot recommend Meg enough! She took incredible care of my senior pup Cooper, treating them like family while I was away. I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which really helped ease my mind. It was clear my pup was not only well cared for but truly happy—whether going on walks, getting bones and treat, or just snuggling up. Very grateful for all she did to keep my pup calm and comfortable.”
“I felt confident in choosing Nicole to housesit for us. She was professional and reliable. She showed up on time, sent photos and updates and was quick to respond. She took good care of our 3 pets and our home. We will definitely seek Nicole’s services again in the future.”
“Jaclyn was amazing and just what we were looking for in someone to watch our pups! We are new to the area and looking for a dog sitter has been tough, but Jaclyn was quick to respond, very experienced and super responsible with our dogs and house. We will definitely book again!”
“Kayleigh is easy to work with and clearly and knowledgeable pet sitter and genuine pet lover. Our dog Miley was very anxious during our house sitting booking which made it tough on Kayleigh to get her to go out and stick to her regular routine. Kayleigh communicated every step of the way to give us updates and allowed me to give feedback and suggestions on what to try to make Miley more comfortable. Greatly appreciated Kayleigh’s effort and communication. We’d book with Kayleigh again. Thanks!”
“Whitney stayed overnight with Bolt. Bolt immediately seemed at ease with her. She took him for his walks and fed him. We were delayed returning and she was gracious enough to stay until we returned. Will definitely book her services again. Thanks Whitney!”
“Our very first overnight stay without our pups, WENT PERFECTLY, thanks to Allie!! We were admittedly nervous. Last time we traveled without our dogs, I found one posted on FB Lost and Found a few minutes after landing in Europe!!🤦♀️ My son was a lot calmer about it than I was!! Whew!! Our three were in great hands for the week with Allie. Pics every day. Lots of interaction. Just what I needed to build confidence. By day 3, hubby was getting jealous his “girl” seemed to be in love with Allie!! lol Part of the nerves was knowing I have a stranger in the house while gone. Got a great feeling with Allie on interview so went with my gut. It proved me well. Allie left the house as near as when she arrived! And she didn’t have to!! We were pleasantly surprised! We returned home relaxed, our home and dogs in great hands while away. It was our first trip without a hiccup! We are so psyched!! Thanks to Allie’s special cuddles and care with our three, it was clear this was a perfect match for our future travel plans! Five stars for Allie!!”
“Emily took great care of Ellie. She was on time and provided frequent updates throughout her stay to let us know how Ellie was doing. We even got several photos of Ellie! We would definitely use Emily again.”
“Kimberly was wonderful with my elderly standard poodle, who requires special diet and meds multiple times a day. Then my cat got sick and she took him the the emergency vet, then had meds for him also! She was kind and loving to my fur boys. I recommend her highly!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and often stay with my family and friends dogs when they travel. I am patient, kind, and dependable. Your pets will be well taken care of so you can relax while away from home. Working full time but available to house sit or do drop ins depending on the day. My work schedule changes often to reach out to discuss availability. Sorry, I am not currently taking pets into my home. I am currently only available for drop ins and house sitting in your home. Thank you
“Briana took great care of my three large dogs for four nights in my home, while we were away. She kept amazing communication throughout the entire time and sent pictures everyday several times a day with updates of my fur babies. I would highly recommend Briana for any pet sitting needs.”
“Ally was fantastic! She was super attentive, kept up with the puppy energy, and kept my mind completely at ease while I was out. She showed my cats some extra love and attention, too, even though she was just hired for the puppy! She sent the sweetest pictures/updates as well. Highly recommend!”
“Natalie watched our dog Ruby over the holidays and was amazing! Ruby got lots of walks and love and Natalie kept us updated with photos and messages everyday. We were so grateful to find her and felt peace of mind while we were on vacation. Looking forward to having her sit for us again!”
“Highly recommend Gabrielle for pet sitting and walks! She took care of our goldendoodle and cat at our house while we were away. She is great at sticking to their routine and gives great pictures/updates along the way. She is reliable, friendly, and trustworthy. Left the house in great shape. We feel so at ease when traveling knowing they are in good hands. It’s hard for me to be away from our dog but she makes it easy and I know I can relax!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have two lovable rescue dogs of my own, Max and Ruby. They are a big part of our family, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and have also helped neighbors by letting their dogs out, feeding them, giving them fresh water, and spending time playing with them. I’m dependable, patient, and will care for your pets as if they were my own. I'm a teacher, so I'm off for the summer and have a very flexible schedule. I'm available during the day, evenings, and weekends for walks and drop-in visits. Once school starts again, I'll be available after school, evenings, weekends, and school breaks. I'll do my best to work around your pet's normal routine. I know how important it is to know your pets are in good hands while you're away. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and anything else that helps keep your pet comfortable. I'll make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and love, and I'll treat them like they're my own.
“Patrick literally saved the day! I had a last minute cancellation and he was able to help us out. Squishy and Storm felt comfortable with him from the start. He communicated with us throughout the day and we received several pictures and videos. Our pups had such a wonderful time that when we came home they were happy and super calm. He really treated my babies like they were his. Looking forward to working with Patrick again!”
“I needed a sitter with short notice and David was able and willing to come meet my 3 dogs within hours of contacting him. He was kind and gentle with my boys and knew how to approach one of them who is fearful. He listened carefully to my instructions and asked when something wasn’t clear. I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with him when we met the same day he stayed overnight. He stayed longer when we were going to be home later which I appreciated. When we got back, he left a kind note and some chocolates for us. I would hire David again!”

Madison was great with our dogs. She is kind, thoughtful, responsive, and respectful. Our dogs loved her . I have a reactive senior chihuahua and she did so well with her . She took very good care of our dogs and home . We will book her again . Thank you Madison ♥️🤗
Natalie did a terrific job taking care of our energetic 1 yr old pup and 2 cats. She sent us regular updates with pics, gave lots of walks and love to our pets, and took excellent care of our house. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing everyone and everything was taken care of at home. We look forward to using her again the next time we go away.
What a great experience! Megan was absolutely amazing with our Tommy! He is a senior dog so we were a little apprehensive leaving him. We couldn’t be more happy Tommy was very comfortable and Megan took great care of him! Dog whisper for sure!! Felt comfortable having her stay at our home as well!!
Andrea was very kind and communicative throughout the visit. She arrived on time for the meet and greet and was gentle and patient with my puppy during an important adjustment period. I appreciated her professionalism, flexibility, and willingness to provide updates while I was away. Thank you again for your help and care with Dolly!
Leigha was terrific! She is mature, friendly and polite. She took excellent care of our home and our dogs while we were away. She communicated frequently and sent us pictures of our babies. I highly recommend Leigha. Your pets and home will be cared for responsibly. 😊

FAQs for House Sitting - Lumberton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lumberton on Rover is $61.05 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 5,302 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lumberton. 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 Lumberton 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 Lumberton 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 Lumberton 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 Lumberton. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
