About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for a while now. I mainly take care of my own pets and I am wanting to get into pet sitting. I have a dog and two cats back home. I promise your pets are in good hands!! I am a student at UNCW in need of a part time job! If we work together I can show you my class schedule - I am very flexible! Furry friends are so important to me. I absolutely love them and put so much love and care into them. I will walk them, love on them, feed them, and do whatever else they need:)
“Abby is excellent! She took wonderful care of our 2 dogs, 2 cats and home durning an overnight stay. Our high energy, anxious and often particular doodle took to her immediately as did the rest of our menagerie. Abby communicated throughout her stay and sent many pictures and videos. We returned to a spotless home and very happy animals. Could not recommend Abby more and hope to have her house sit for us again in the future!”
“Olivia was great with both of our dogs. She kept us well informed and the dogs were happy when we returned home. Olivia stayed overnight and was super responsible and respectful of our home. We highly recommend Olivia and will certainly reach out in the future!”
“Amelia stayed in our home and looked after our geriatric small dog recently. (This was our first experience with Rover). On a previous trip when she’d been boarded, our dog hadn’t eaten and had lost several lbs, so we needed help. Amelia was perfect! My dog was able to stay home with no change to her routine. I received pics, texts and had an stress-less trip thanks to Amelia!”
About: I have been caring for animals (outside of my own) for over 10 years. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and was so happy to be able to get the opportunity to help take care of and love on others’ pet family members! I have experience with all size and age range of dogs, as well as dogs with medical needs. Cats are also a plus to hang out with! In Texas, Ive been a sitter in Lubbock, and sitter, walker, and drop in in Austin, and have done walks, sittings, and drop in in Fort Worth. New to Wilmington and would love to help care for your fur babies! I currently work from home! So I’m able to pop over to others houses during the day and if a last minute pop in is needed :) My own puppies and cat I love with my whole heart! For them and others animals I ensure that I am attentive to their cues and needs, especially for new dogs I am meeting - ensuring I am respecting their cues and taking the time to build trust. With drop in services and walking services it is lots of new people meet and I love to ensure that animals are comfortable around me. Additionally I work to communicate with pet parents and make sure that I am knowledgeable about each pet’s unique characteristics and personality!
“We had such a wonderful experience with Sophia! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared so much about our dogs. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away! We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book again!”
About: Hey, I’m Cassidy! I worked as a Veterinary Assistant for over 5 years before transitioning into pet sitting full time, and I’ve cared for animals my entire life. Between my vet assistant background, my own pets, and years of hands-on pet care, I’m comfortable caring for pups and kitties of different ages, sizes, personalities, routines, and medical needs. I currently offer house sitting and drop-in visits, so your pets can stay comfortable in their own home while still getting the care, attention, and routine they’re used to. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, meals, medication, snuggles, potty breaks, or just a calm presence while you’re away, I’ll do my best to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and your home. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions, keep you updated with photos and messages, and help with small home tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, or keeping things tidy while you’re gone. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets. I want them to feel like their routine stayed familiar, their needs were met, and they had a friend looking out for them the whole time. Feel free to reach out with any questions or details about your pet’s routine- I’d love to learn more about them and see if we’d be a good fit! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. For house sitting, I’m able to spend plenty of time with your pets in their own home and keep their routine as normal as possible. For drop-in visits, I make sure each visit includes whatever your pet needs most — meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication, litter box care, or just some extra love and attention. I do step out for errands, appointments, and occasional outings, but I always plan my schedule around the pets in my care and their specific needs. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently house sitting and drop-in visits and I love that this allows pets to stay in their familiar environment, stick to their normal routines, and feel more comfortable while their people are away. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely and treat your space with respect. I’m mindful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding routines, medications, and any house rules you have in place. During outdoor time, I always keep a close eye on pets, whether we’re going for a walk, having supervised yard time, or taking a quick potty break. My goal is to keep your pets safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind with updates along the way.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Murraysville
We have a senior dog who has stayed with family, but he’s never more comfortable than when he’s in his own home. Shayla treats our old pup kindly and sends daily updates. You’d never know anyone was there once we got home. She’s communicative, clean and knows how to handle an old guy like our Jay bones!
Abigail was an amazing dog sitter, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided! She was incredibly responsive from start to finish and kept me updated with plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was always on time, came by beforehand to meet my dogs, and took the time to make sure they were comfortable with her. When I got home, the house was just as clean as I left it, and most importantly, my dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Abigail to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking her again!
Raechel did a really good job with our boys. She stayed at our house and cared for our two golden retrievers ( one 4 years old and the other 6 months) for 3 nights. From the moment she walked in the house our boys loved her. She was very communicative leading up to watching them and sent good updates.
Amanda is a wonderful pet sitter. One of my dogs had injured his leg about a week prior to her caring for him, and she was incredibly adaptable and attentive in giving him his oral medication. She kept me at ease by sending pictures and promptly answering all of my questions. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be using her again in the future.
Lauren went above and beyond for my River. River got a stomach bug and was having accidents in the house while I was out of the country and Lauren took wonderful care of her, cleaned my house, rearranged her schedule and fed her homemade meals until River felt better. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Thanks again Lauren!

FAQs for House Sitting - Murraysville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Murraysville on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 785 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Murraysville. 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 Murraysville 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 Murraysville 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 Murraysville 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.
