About: Hi, I’m Kimberly! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them isn’t just my job—it’s something I truly enjoy. I have 8 years of pet care experience working with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and other small animals, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m fully pet care insured, giving you extra peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, overnight care, walks, feeding, medication administration, playtime, or lots of love and attention, I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care tailored to their individual needs and routine. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and home. My goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free while keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. Whether your furry, feathered, or scaly family member needs care for a weekend or an extended trip, I’d love the opportunity to help. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I’m currently unemployed, so I’m always home, I always have time for playing with and cuddling with your pets! They will always be exhausted and loved I would prefer to do an overnight in your home as to not stress your pets out too much! They will be very cared for
About: I’m a newly Certified Vet assistant who deeply loves caring for pets! I’m also certified in Diet and Nutrition as well as Pet CPR. Taking care of animals has always been my biggest passion! I’m currently working part time so this leaves room to be attentive and in the moment while caring for your pets while still leaving room for certain all day/ over night needs as well as just drop ins. I have two friendly female medium/ large dogs. We have a fenced in back yard with lots of space to play. We would love to have your pet over!
“Jazmine was absolutely amazing the Dexter and Zuna. She kept me up to date with photos and videos. With us coming home late she was so kind and left lights on for us so we wouldn't walk in in dark. I will definitely book with here again”
“Joshua did amazing watching our two dogs. They are super energetic and playful and he was able to keep them worn out by the end of each day. He took very good care with their regimented feeding and sleeping schedule. Would definitely recommend.”
“HIGHLY recommend Kassie! We is winderful. She took excellent care of our cats, dogs, chickens, and our home while we were away. Everything was well taken care of, and we came home to happy pets and a clean, cared-for house. She was responsible, communicative, and clearly treated our animals like her own. We would absolutely have her house sit for us again and highly recommend her!”
“Sam took very excellent care of my 5 cats and dog while I had an emergency and needed her last minute. She was very flexible and accommodating. I got tons of updates which made me feel very assured my fur babies were in excellent care while I was at the hospital with my baby. It was also a holiday and she was available. She was upfront about her kiddos coming, which was no problem. I was amazed there was no mess or anything. She cleaned up all dishes, took trash out and watered my plants. I had a week long stay at the hospital, I even asked if she would change my sheets and she did this for me. I was so blessed to find her and will always use her if she is available if I need a pet sitter. She even left a little goodie bag with a neat ink pen and some bracelets my daughter will not take off and loves! I’ve had pet sitters before that would just lock the dog out of my room and not interact with Sadie but Sam sent lots of videos/pictures of all my animals. We are home now and Sadie is so happy, it great condition and sleeping so soundly cause they gave her lots of exercise. 10/10 will book Sam again.”
“They are absolutely phenomenal! Very responsive to messages and coordination of the meet and greet to start. Wonderful in the meet and greet with the dogs(3). We knew leaving them for the weekend would be just fine. We received so many photos of them playing and enjoying the dog vacation. Arriving back to our house it was clean and tidy. The same way we had left it. I’d recommend Rey and Jonathan to everyone.”
About: My parents realized I needed a dog in my life when I was child because I would try to pet my fish... ;) As a family we've had dogs since I was around 6 years old. I began dog-sitting for a neighbor when I was in middle school and that included helping care for two puppies when I was a bit older. Over the last few years my petsitting/housesitting relationships have steadily increased. I've helped friends by caring for their puppies, dogs, senior dogs, kittens, cats, and even a bird! Before I moved to NC I had keys for about 5 friends' homes since I am on standby for pet-sitting duties when they go out of town. My boyfriend and I are the proud parents of 1 dog, 2 cats, and 21 quail chicks! I am currently working 8:30am-5:00pm Monday-Friday in Holly Springs but hope my schedule works to care for your fur babies! I am typically very flexible during weekends. As someone who had an escape artist dog growing up I know the importance of safety, including keeping doors closed. I'm familiar with many different types of leashes, halters, Gentle Leader, even muzzles and am confident in using any your dog may utilize. I am also happy to crate your puppy/dog if needed.
“Elizabeth has been amazing house sitting for us! She takes care of our dogs, chickens, quail, and everything at our house. She is always very flexible with changes and has amazing communication. Each day she sends pictures or updates. Highly recommend Elizabeth if you are looking for a house sitter or pet sitter!”
About: Since I can remember I’ve always had a pet dog! My family had dogs growing up and now that I am an adult I have my own! I have trained my pup to the best of my ability and continue to get compliments about it. I’ve always been passionate about pet care and making pets feel like a member of the family, not an accessory. I’m currently employed by the U.S Army. Pet care fits in my routine first thing in the morning, lunch time, and anytime in the evening! I walk my dog daily on a leash around my neighborhood! I would love to walk other people’s dogs! I have a crate for my dog and he is trained to go in at anytime! I have space for a crate if an owner requires their dog to be put up at certain times! My dog is very submissive and is always looking for new friends!
About: I treat every dog in my care like my own. As a small business owner, I know how much reliability matters. I show up on time, keep you updated with photos and messages, and follow your routine exactly so your pup stays comfortable while you're away. Puppies: I'm patient with young pups and keep up with potty training, crate routines, and basic commands like sit and stay. Senior dogs: I'm comfortable with slower walks, giving medications, and extra attention. Extras: Fenced yard / I work from home so your dog is rarely alone / experience with large breeds / comfortable with anxious or shy dogs. Your dog won't just be watched. They'll be loved! I’m pretty flexible with my schedule at the moment. I have a small dog that is in his older years and home majority of the day. In my home (boarding/daycare): Your dog gets a calm, safe space with [a fenced yard / a cozy spot to rest]. I keep them on their normal feeding, walk, and bedtime schedule, and they're never left alone for long. [I only take one family's dogs at a time so every pup gets my full attention.
“Great experience using Jenni for housesitting our animals. Super communicative, flexible, pets loved her, sent tons of photos. We came home from vacation and she had washed the sheets and towels AND cleaned out our sinks 😆 Will definitely contact her again for petsitting!”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Patty as our dog sitter for our two pets while we were away for an event over two days, and we couldn't be more pleased with her service. Patty was absolutely amazing with our dogs. She kept us up to date with regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Not only did she take excellent care of their basic needs, but she also kept them entertained and happy throughout her stay. It was evident that she truly loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. We highly recommend Patty to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of large and small dogs for 5+ years for my own, neighbors, family, and friends…walking and feeding them, and bathing them when necessary. I work from home so I can pet sitting in your home and keep their routine consistent. I can do any day of the week. I take time to play with your pets in your home with their toys. Feed, Exercise, and snuggle them! I give them lots of love!
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time with them. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I do my best to keep a flexible schedule and make time for pet care. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or playtime, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my priorities. I’ll follow your instructions, respect their routine, and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home.
“I’m so grateful for the amazing care Garrett provided for my cat, Adele. He was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Adel was clearly very well taken care of and comfortable, and I could tell she received a lot of attention and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“I don't even have the words to describe how amazing Carly was. I asked her last minute to stay in my apartment for three weeks and take care of my pup Fergie while I was away on a business trip. I was so anxious about having some at the apartment and about how Fergie would react while I was away but she did an awesome job. So many fun trips to the park, hiking, long walks and all with adorable pics of my pup. He probably lived a better life with her there than with me! I was so relieved to know Fergie had someone who would care for him so well while I was gone and when I came back, Fergie was happy, the apartment was clean, she even did laundry! When Carly left Fergie waited as the door and cried for her to come back. You could tell he truly bonded with her. I will absolutely be asking Carly to watch my pup again and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I love caring for all dogs. Ive been taking care of dogs for the past 10 years. I love taking my dog for runs and walks at Cape Fear Valley River Trail and around my neighborhood. My dog also loves going to Riverside dog park to play with other dogs. Our house has 3 open rooms and a HUGE fenced in backyard with lots of room to run, so we love to play fetch as well! My current dog, Ellie, LOVES to play with other dogs and would be a great buddy. I am a very active person and would love to get your dog out for walks in our peaceful neighborhood. Our home is very pet friendly and I really enjoy caring for and spending time with dogs :) Available full time! I am currently taking classes, so I am home mostly full time. I will be able to be with and watch your doggo all day! I have a big fenced in yard and a dog of my own to keep your doggo company and to run around and play with.

The average cost of House Sitting in Mingo is $31 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $31 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 Mingo 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 Mingo 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 Mingo 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mingo. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
