“10/10 would recommend! Jessica and Guillermo were so amazing at taking care of Zip. Zip is a reactive dog and we were quite anxious leaving him with a sitter for the first time. Jessica made us feel so comfortable for the entire week she stayed with Zip. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures that made us know he was in great care. She respected all the instructions we gave for taking Zip on walks and was very comforting knowing we were a little nervous to leave him. We had some travel delays getting home and Jessica made accommodation to stay extra time so we didn’t have to worry about Zip. Jessica and Guillermo stayed at our apartment for the week as well and were incredible guest. They were clean and gracious and even cleaned up before leaving. Safe to say Zip has new best friends and we will absolutely be booking again!”

About: Hello everybody! I am an animal lover with professional and personal experience caring for ALL animals. Ive worked in various animal hospitals over the course of 5 years with veterinary technician experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, rodents, and reptiles. I have experience bathing dogs as well as administering medication, subcutaneous fluids, injections, and syringe / tube feeding. If your pet requires any of this special care I would be a great caregiver for them! Outside of work I also have pet sat in my own home as well as clients homes. I work from home, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets and they will have constant attention and company. They will not be left alone for longer than 3 hrs. I am a single mother to a well behaved 2 year old boy, who understands how to respect animal boundaries :) we are very active and enjoy the outdoors. I'm sure your dog would love to accompany us on my outdoor adventures (Hiking, running, walking, park and beach visits, ect.) ! I do not own any cages/crates as I prefer to allow pets free roam. If you would like your pet to be crated or know that he/she chews things please provide one for their stay!

About: Hi! I’m Yunhan and I also go by Riley. I am certified by the American Red Cross in cat and dog first aid, and I have experience administering oral, optical, and topical medications to pets. I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud owner of three cats, so I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and comfort level. I’m attentive to the little things and always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I can provide morning, midday, and evening visits, administer meals or medications, clean litter boxes, and spend quality time playing with or comforting your fur babies. My remote work also makes it easy to accommodate last-minute check-ins or longer visits. Caring for my own three cats has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities and needs. Every day I make sure they have fresh food and water, keep their litter boxes clean, monitor their health and behavior, and spend time playing and giving them attention. I’m comfortable recognizing when something seems off, whether it’s changes in appetite, energy, or litter box habits. Since each of my cats has a different personality, I’ve learned to adapt my care to what makes each one feel safe, comfortable, and happy.

About: I have been a veterinary technician for the last 19 years. I have spent the majority of that time working at a small animal practice, but also worked at an emergency and specialty practice for 4 years during that time as well. During my career, I have dealt with numerous c-sections, geriatric, diabetic, and renal patients. Meaning that, injections, SQ fluid, oral meds, etc, are not a problem.. I have also done pet sitting on the side for many years during this time as well. I have always had a love for animals. I currently own a 9 year old mixed breed dog, as well as a cat, and chinchilla. I have had many pocket pets over the years as well. I currently work full time, overnights only, on the front end of the week. I plan accordingly, to make sure the pets needs are met before and after work shift, and spoil them extra on the days I’m off. I adjust to whatever needs the pet requires, and make our schedules work in sync so that there are no issues with bathroom breaks, or feeding/medications.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid. Animals are a passion of mine, as well as traveling, music and nutrition. The slogan Eat, Play, Love is a spin off of my favorite movie: Eat, Pray, Love. I grew up with dogs, cats and bunnies. I loved each & every one of them. When I got older I turned my passion into a form of income. I’m a former kennel-hand. I’ve been a house/ pet sitting for years now but just as a side job & usually by word of mouth. Now I’ve turned it into a full-time business. I’ve dealt with breeds ranging from golden retrievers and labs to rottweilers and pitbulls to chihuahuas and french bulldogs. I believe I am fully capable to properly and lovingly take care of your furry friend(s) ! I walk many dogs throughout the week. I housesit whenever someone needs me. Then at home, I help out with my family’s dogs. I’m really flexible, I’m willing to work weekends & holidays as well. I care for your furry friends like they’re my own, with lots of love. I pride myself on leaving a home better than I found it.

About: I have lots of experience with my own dog, who is an 11 1/2 year old yellow lab named Luna that at I've had since she was a puppy. She's been through a few surgeries, eye issues, etc. that l've taken care of. She and l are pet therapy certified through The Bright & Beautiful Therapy Dogs. I have dog sat for multiple people, but almost always while staying at their house. I'm able to take them on walks (long or short), feed them, administer medication, and make sure they get their movement in. I have not taken care of as many cats, but I am able to feed, change litter, and play with them. I'm not as well-versed in cat behavior as I am with dog behavior. I’m working remotely so I will have plenty of time to play with and care for your dogs. I’m available pretty much anytime but request at least two days notice. I have a fenced in backyard. My dog is very friendly with others and mostly just minds her own business. I don’t have an extra crate available.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, including a Black Lab, Miniature Pinscher, Rottweiler, and German Shepherd. Being around such different breeds has taught me that every dog has their own personality, energy level, quirks, and way of showing you what they need. I also have hands-on experience caring for dogs in my family. I regularly help care for my sister’s two dogs—a 1-year-old Corgi and a 13-year-old English Bulldog. Having both a young, energetic dog and a senior dog has given me an appreciation for how different their needs can be. One may want to play, explore, and keep you moving, while the other may need a slower pace, extra patience, comfort, and a little more attention. I also frequently care for a French Bulldog in my family when his dad needs someone he trusts to look after him. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog individually and learning their routines, personalities, favorite activities, and little quirks. I also have experience caring for Ozzie, my mom’s boyfriend’s 7-year-old Whoodle. Spending time with Ozzie has given me even more experience caring for an adult dog with his own personality, routines, and preferences. I enjoy taking the time to learn what makes each dog comfortable and happy rather than assuming every dog needs the same type of care. And of course, I can’t forget Mochi, my boyfriend’s approximately 5-year-old Chihuahua-Terrier mix. Mochi is another special part of my life and has given me even more experience getting to know a dog’s individual personality, routines, habits, and quirks. Caring for him has also taught me that sometimes the smallest dogs have the biggest personalities! What makes pet care special to me is that I don't look at it as simply a job or a checklist of feeding, walking, and letting a pet outside. Your pets are family, and I want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you're away. I’m naturally very patient, attentive, and nurturing with animals. I pay attention to the little things—whether a dog needs some extra exercise, some quiet time, reassurance in a new situation, or simply someone to sit beside them and give them some love. I’m also comfortable giving pets the time and space they need to warm up to me rather than expecting them to immediately feel comfortable. Whether your pup is a playful youngster, a laid-back senior, or somewhere in between, I’ll take the time to understand what makes them happy and make their care feel as close to home as possible. And because I’m a lifelong animal lover, I genuinely believe that four little paws come with a whole lot of love—and deserve a whole lot right back. My schedule is currently flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including weekends when available. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they need. I communicate openly with pet parents and do my best to be dependable and flexible with scheduling. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or visiting for a walk or drop-in, I treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Before caring for a pet, I like to learn about their normal routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications if applicable, favorite activities, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. I’m patient with pets who may be shy or take some time to warm up to someone new, and I pay close attention to their behavior so I can recognize when something seems different. I’m also very mindful about doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, and keeping pets safely supervised. I want you to feel confident knowing that while you’re away, your pet is receiving loving, attentive care and your home is being treated respectfully. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable—and for you to have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Paula — a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with two dogs (a beagle and a shepherd mix) and have spent the last several years sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it’s keeping up with high-energy pups or providing gentle care for senior pets, I adapt to meet each animal’s unique needs with patience, consistency, and care. Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to arrive when needed and stay full-time if requested. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, supported, and loved throughout the day — and that you feel confident knowing they’re in great hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I start each day by checking in on your pets, and I aim to take dogs for a walk during my lunch break. Throughout the day, I’ll be working from my laptop nearby to make sure your pets have everything they need — from bathroom breaks and outdoor time to meals, water, and affection.

About: Pet care has been part of my life for over 15 years! I grew up with multiple dogs (from tiny to large breeds) and even rescued a cat of my own! My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and at ease while you're away because to me, they deserve nothing less. Pet care fits right into my routine! I work part-time babysitting and have tons of free time since I’m graduating in May. This means I can offer flexible hours for walks, playtime, and cuddles whenever your pet needs them. I’m excited to fill that extra time with fun and care for your furry friend! When caring for pets in my home or yours, I make sure to maintain their usual routine to minimize any stress. In my home, I provide a comfortable, pet-friendly environment where your pet can feel safe, relaxed, and at ease, with plenty of space for play, rest, and companionship. In your home, I ensure everything stays just like they’re used to, from feeding and walks to playtime or quiet company. I provide daily updates, whether through messages or pictures, so you’re always in the loop. I also make sure your home stays clean and your pet gets all the attention they need. I treat your pet and home with the utmost respect, ensuring they feel loved and secure while you’re away.

Ava was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Lola! She kept communication open throughout our time away and provided frequent updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. She treated Lola like she was her own, making sure she was well cared for, exercised, and loved. We felt completely comfortable leaving both our home and our pup in Ava's care. We will definitely be booking with her again for future vacations or anytime we need to be away. We highly recommend Ava to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mount Olive

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Mount Olive is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 3,011 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mount Olive. 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 Olive 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 Olive 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 Olive 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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 Mount Olive. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
