About: I am currently a College Student majoring in Animal Behavior. I have two years of experience pet sitting and walking dogs. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from puppies to seniors. I have a four year old Black Lab (Olive), and a three year old Boxer (Kyla). Can’t wait to meet your furry friend(s)! I have morning classes, so I have afternoons, evenings and weekends to take care of your pups. During school breaks I will be more available for your needs. I take dogs on leashed walks fitting their needs. I also keep them entertained and fed inside when/if needed. I also can play with your dog in a fenced yard.
About: Ive had pets my whole life, dogs, cats, hamsters, snakes, ferrets… I could go on forever! Ive cared for senior and baby animals, and farm animals too! Theres really nothing I cant handle :) I have two cats, Mo and Flynn. I absolutely love caring for them! I also enjoy pet and house sitting over the summers, weekends, whenever you need me! I am dedicated, trustworthy, and devoted! I love seeing my pets safe and happy, and it makes all the difference knowing my pets are in good hands when Im out of town. I would love to give you that same comfort!
“Nora has been absolutely fantastic! She does drop-in visits when I am away on vacation or out for work. She communicates well and always sends great pictures of my dogs and cat to let me know how they’re doing.”
“Sara took care of our 2 dogs while my family was away for the weekend. She took great care of the dogs, sent pictures and left the house clean and just as we left it. She was attentive to the dogs and followed the routine we usually do with them. I would absolutely use her again”
“Jenny was kind, caring, punctual and a great communicator. She took wonderful care of our sweet puppy while we were away. Jenny also took great care of our home, even getting the mail I forgot to put on hold. Her communication by text both before and during our time away was speedy and she even included photos of our pup having fun. We look forward to Jenny caring for our pup the next time we are away.”
“Claire did great watching our 2 dogs while we went out of town for a week. She sent photo updates several times which was reassuring for us. When we got home the house was still clean and nothing was destroyed (our lab puppy gets into everything so that’s impressive). The dogs were obviously fed, healthy, and happy when we arrived home from our trip. Thanks, Claire!”
“5-Star Review for Hannah Hannah did an absolutely fantastic job babysitting my three dogs—Cooper, Cameron, and Anita! She was especially great with Anita, who has tons of energy and needs constant engagement. Hannah kept her entertained and active, which is no small feat! I came home to three happy, healthy dogs and a well-cared-for house, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I also really appreciated that Hannah stayed for the full agreed-upon time, even with our extended travel delays late into the evening. It’s clear she is responsible, reliable, and truly cares about the pets she watches. I’ll definitely be using Hannah’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”
“I met Adrienne recently to have her pet sit. Upon first meeting, she asked all the appropriate questions about how to care for them. The weekend had some adventures (not fault of hers) but she handled it beautifully and showed so much love for my pets. I absolutely will use her again. ❤️ -from A Veterinarian”
“Mikayla took great care of our dog (and house) while we were away for two weeks! We got consistent communication throughout, daily pictures. Came home to a happy dog and home in perfect condition. Will book Mikayla again!”
“Jessica was awesome! Our dogs loved her and she really stepped in during a time of panic for us when we lost our original dog sitter 2 days before vacation. 5-star rating all around and we will definitely book with her again!”
About: I will treat your pet as if it is my own and will make sure they stay calm and happy while you are away!! I have experience with older dogs and puppies! I am available almost all summer.I am a full time college student working on my Bachelors of science but I am home for the summer. Pet sitting can be fit into my schedule as needed. I can let the dogs run outside for a while in a fenced yard, I can take them on walks through the neighborhood, I can practice commands, or just give some snuggles.
About: I’ve never dog sit for someone else before but I would love the opportunity to do so! I have two dogs of my own so I know how to take care of them, give them their proper food, and take them on long and short walks! :) Im currently working part time at my job so for the most part i’m available! Best days and times for me would be Thursday, Friday, and the weekends preferably in the late morning, afternoon, or evening! At my house we have a lot of gates and fenced off areas so that they won’t pee or make messes. If needed I can easily do so! I can also try to feed them specific foods you might have and such.
“We had the best experience with Jenny S. We booked a weekend in house stay, for our daughter’s wedding. The animals were well taken care of, and very happy. She sent us daily photos, and we got to see how well they were doing. I highly recommend Jenny, it was wonderful.”
“Was very pleased with how well she took care of Hershey. He does not like fireworks and she sat with him while the fireworks are going off up the road. She’s already scheduled to come back and watch her again. I would recommend her to watch anybody’s pet.”
About: I've done pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors for most of my life. This includes care of dogs to include feeding, play, walking, and administering meds if applicable. I currently have a six year old English Bulldog who is a stubborn sweetheart and I regularly pet sit for a family member's pitbull mix. I will be available on marked days, most regularly weekends as well as selected weekday options as I have a flexible/remote work set-up. I take care of pets of my own (as well as children) so I can confidently fill in to care for your pet. I have reliable transportation and defined radius on my profile so I can arrange for several walks and in home check-ins and care throughout the day and evening. When/if I do board or care for a client's pet in my home, there is a fenced in backyard and one other dog in the home.
“Our dogs had a great weekend with Addie! They were by her side most of the time enjoying her company! Addie is trustworthy and great with our two cavapoos and we hope she will come back again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life since I was under 10. My first dog was a 100 pound lab. We’ve always had multiple dogs in the house and I’ve always fed, walked and taken good care of them! Like they are my kids! Please leave me a review after I’ve taken care of your pups to ensure others get great service too! I work from home. I am free to help take care of your pets when you can’t! We have a fenced in back yard and have 2 3 year old rescues that are brother and sister. They are Chihuahua pitbull mixes if you can imagine that. I work from home and can walk or care for your dogs around my work schedule and my daughters life! I love them and treat them as if they are my own! I treat others dogs like they are my own. Make sure they get exercise if that’s what is needed, play time, potty breaks, food and water breaks and lots of love and pets!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Airy
Brooke took her time to come out and meet with us and our dogs prior to watching them. She took the time to listen to us and answer questions that we had. She was also easy to contact leading up to our trip. Unfortunately, circumstances canceled our trip. But we will not hesitate to contact and use her once again.
Very pleased with Taylor. Have you used her before. Will use her again in the future. Hershey seems to be very happy when I come home. I’m sure a lot of it to do on how well she treats Sam. She sent me pictures several times and gave me updates on how he was doing.
We had the best experience with Jenny S. We booked a weekend in house stay, for our daughter’s wedding. The animals were well taken care of, and very happy. She sent us daily photos, and we got to see how well they were doing. I highly recommend Jenny, it was wonderful.
Sophia was a great sitter with such a short turnaround time between outreach, meet & greet, and out sit! She has a very calm and kind demeanor that our pets immediately picked up on making them feel comfortable and more relaxed while we were away. Our dog has anxiety with thunderstorms and Sophia handled it like a champ! We are grateful to her for the week she watched our pets, keeping them loved and safe!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mount Airy
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mount Airy on Rover is $54.39 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 9,335 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mount Airy. 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 Mount Airy 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 Mount Airy 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 Mount Airy 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.

- 95% 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.
