“I feel very fortunate to have found Katrina. She went above and beyond to care for my dogs and cat so my time away was worry free. With Katrina, I have the freedom to go away knowing my pets and my home are well taken care of.”
“Amanda was great! She is clearly experienced with big, strong dogs and handled ours with confidence and ease. We especially appreciated how much she walked our dog. It made a big difference. On top of that, she is very personable and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I have great attention to detail and can follow any specific needs to the letter! I can promise to keep your pet happy and healthy! I keep a pretty open schedule so I am able to work in almost any job. Whatever works best for the client is what works best for me! I have both open and fenced areas for different needs as well as more enclosed areas if that is necessary. There are a few other dogs around as well to help your pet feel welcomed!
About: Being an animal lover I find this to be the most fulfilling & rewarding job!! I understand as a pet owner the pressure of trusting your babies are well taken care of while out of town. Rest assured your furbabies will be loved,spoiled, and missing NO attention while under my care! :) Pet sitting is my full time job! 24/7 -7 days a week, from last minute vacations, to weekly house visits, I am here to help around the clock! While in my care your babies have access to a private fenced in yard, away from busy highways & streets. Where we can porch sit, or run wild and free! I provide a couch & bed friendly atmosphere where no cuddles are limited! 😊
“Sherri did a wonderful job taking care of my babies. She sent frequent updates WITH pictures showing me that everyone was eating, playing outside, and relaxing. I saw no stress with any of them. Sherri was always on time and she made it easy for me to feel confident in her skills even with short notice for this job and my newness to using Rover. She left the house even cleaner than it was to begin with! I am so happy to know there’s someone who can come and stay with my older pets if I need it and they can remain in their own home in comfort and with less stress than being put in a kennel. This is the service I’ve been looking for in this area, and Sherri’s care is worth every penny of the cost. Thank you! I would highly recommend!”
About: I bring the magic where ever I go, especially to visit the dogs and cats of Charleston. I love to take them on adventures to Hampton park, Magnolia Plantation, the island beaches, or around Colonial Lake. Some of my regulars include the 2 cutest Dachsunds downtown. I’m experienced with all breed and sizes! I am a local contractor so my schedule is very flexible. I can do mid day walks or drop ins as long as I don’t have a job to do! I will always take your dog on regular walks and play with younger dogs or any who have the energy. I know how to pet the grumpiest of cats without them walking away! I will give your pet a lot of attention as I know they might be missing you and want them to be relaxed as possible!
“This was the second time we hired Ben to watch our pups. Once again, we were very pleased with how our pups were cared for. Ben was communicative while we were away, and our home was clean and tidy when we returned.”
“So grateful to Jay for making our vacation worry free!! Especially with our senior dog, who we were reluctant to board due to a heart condition that worsens when she gets excited/nervous. Jay was very responsive to my request for a home stay, and offered a meet and greet in our home at our convenience. He and his wife were just lovely and they asked all the right questions - so we knew off the bat that our girls would be just fine while we were away! We got regular updates and pictures while we were gone and when we came home our two dogs and cat were just as happy and healthy as reported :) I think they might have even been a little disappointed to see us instead of Jay! Lol, until next time girls. And thanks again Jay!”
“Charish was incredibly professional and great with my two pups while we were away. The dogs were tired and the house showed no trace she was even there. I received plenty of updates and had no worries at all while they were in her care. I look forward to have her watch them in the future!”
About: I have 2 senior dogs with special needs so I'm familiar with administering medicine & the extra care that older babies need. I've cared for many dogs & cats over the years and love them all! I'm currently working part time in the afternoons. I have my mornings, evenings & nights open to help care for your pets while you're away. Since I have many pets at home, I'm currently looking to care for pets in your home. With frequent check-ins about their care, you'll always be updated about how they're doing!
“Delaney was fantastic! Was available sort of last-minute and took excellent care of the pets and the house. When I got home, I honestly couldn't tell anyone had even been here, but for the fact that the pets were happy and healthy. :-) She sent updates and pictures, and I never had a worry. I look forward to having her here again.”
“Yolanda did an excellent job keeping Evan at the very last moment’s notice. I felt assured and comfortable with her and knew she would take great care of my fur baby. She was wonderful and I will definitely use her services again.”
About: I'm a dog Mom to two golden retrievers and I have experience with puppies as we've raised 2 litters so far! I can handle anything from puppies to geriatric dogs. I work from home so your pet will be given attention all day everyday! I am able to work around the animals schedule to fit their needs. We have a huge fenced in yard full of toys and ready for play time! They are given their own kennel, food and water bowls, blanket and daily treats! For home visits, I'll provide the owner updates along with pictures of their fur babies!
About: My mother and I were golden retriever breeders from 2000 to 2008. I have owned multiple dogs throughout my life. I have helped friends by sitting for them. I now have four cats. I am currently unemployed so I am fully available right now. Please reach out to me as soon as possible. Thank you so much. Peace and Love. I am very careful and loving with animals. I will write down all the instructions for every animal. I understand that every animal is different in its own special way.

FAQs for House Sitting - McCaysville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in McCaysville on Rover is $37.45 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 121 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across McCaysville. 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 McCaysville 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 McCaysville 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 McCaysville 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
