Kristen is simply incredible, the best of the best! While our dogs are super sweet, they can be nervous and skeptical when meeting new people, but that was not the case with Kristen and they instantly warmed to her. Kristen has a calming aura about her and it was very easy to establish trust fast. We couldn’t be happier to have Kristen and her help, as she is a true professional and expert. She was incredibly communicative and sent lots of fantastic pictures. Looking forward to working with her in the future!

Mae was awesome. She was super communicative, clean, and took great care of my needy animals. We have two cats and two dogs, who are on meds and supplements and I knew they were in good hands with Mae. She sent great pictures and kept me updated/informed all week about what was going on. She’s amazing and I couldn’t recommend her enough!!

mantha was amazing with my babies! 🐾 She sent us daily updates and multiple pictures, which made us feel so comfortable while we were away. We booked her last minute, and she was so kind and willing to help take care of our dogs. My dogs looked so happy and comfortable with her, and you can tell she truly cares for animals. She did an amazing job, and I would definitely book with her again! ❤️

Shelby did an AMAZING job with our pups! She stayed at our house and took care of them while we were out of town for 4 days. We have an older dog and I did not worry once while they were in Shelby’s care! She sent photos and texts to assure us that all was well. We really enjoyed meeting Shelby and would trust her to stay at our home with our dogs again. 10/10 recommend Shelby!

About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember. For over 10 years, I’ve cared for pets of all kinds including my own, friends, and family members, and I truly treat every animal like they’re part of my family. I’m a mom with my daughter now in school and I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your fur babies the attention they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or sticking to a specific routine, I’m happy to meet your pet’s individual needs. I provide care in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their own environment. I’m dependable, attentive, and always prioritize safety and communication. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away! I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own. I am currently working a part time job as a front desk assistant in the afternoons, so I will have plenty of time to play and care for the needs of your fur babies! I will come to the clients home at your convenience, so they are in a comfortable environment. I always follow routines closely and include pictures so your mind is at ease. Safety is my top priority, I double check doors are locked, gates, leashes and keep a clean and calm environment for your pet.

About: I have loved and cared for dogs and cats for most of my life. I was lucky enough to travel with my family, showing Standard and Giant Schnauzers expanding my knowledge and love for breeds of all sizes and personalities. Throughout my adulthood I have enjoyed caring for my friend’s pets while they were away. I just recently moved to Fayetteville and I miss having pets now and would like to be able to get some sloppy kisses, hugs and purrrrfect companionship and would love the opportunity to care for part of your family while you are away. Walks, playtime and snuggles are a daily routine. Special Skills I am well acquainted with taking care of puppies, and senior dogs with medical needs. I have trained dogs through obedience classes. I’m currently on Summer break and have full weeks of time off from June 1 through August 15th, 2026. The rest of the months I am free from Friday evenings through Sunday evening for home sitting. Holidays I am also free. I follow directions carefully and treat your pet and home as if they were mine. I am happy to text or send picture updates as requested.

Taylor was outstanding! The dogs absolutely loved him. He took care of the house and my mail. He was extremely communicative to me and sent updates with photos. He did a great job making sure the dogs were as comfortable as possible. Extremely professional and takes his job seriously which made me feel really great booking with him. I would HIGHLY recommend Taylor for any of your pet sitting needs (just don’t need him when I need him! Ha ha just kidding!) will definitely be using him in the future!

About: I will go the extra mile to make sure your pup is well loved, hydrated, fed, and exercised. I am new to the area and am eager to explore with a furry friend that I cannot financially support currently, so I will love and care for it like my own. I just moved to Southern Pines, and am looking for any kind of word I can. My experience having dogs in my house all my life has made me responsible and capable of taking care of any kind of dog. We have a very safe apartment complex that we take long walks around many times a day to keep your pup happy and comfortable. If your dog is also a competent swimmer we have a nearby lake with public swimming spots to enjoy.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 14. Animals are at ease around me! I have experience training and caring for puppies. I currently have two dogs: a 10 year old rescued mutt and a 2 year old red heeler that I adopted as a puppy. I’m currently staying home with my son, so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out with your pets! My schedule is incredibly flexible. I can be available any day of the week, with enough notice. I will always ask if you have any specific rules/preferences to ensure your pets are safe and comfortable. I double check to verify any fences/gates are closed and leashes are secured!

FAQs for House Sitting - McCain

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 458 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across McCain. 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 McCain 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 McCain 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 McCain 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 McCain. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
