“Nicole was wonderful to our pups! This was the first time we’ve left them overnight since adopting them so we were a little nervous at first. But she completely calmed our nerves!! I cannot thank her enough for treats them like they are hers. We will for sure be using her again! Thank you, Nicole!!”
“Dawn was amazing with my dog, Brody! She sent thorough updates every evening and I knew he was in good hands with her! I will definitely be using her again for future bookings!!”
About: Even as a kid, I was the primary caregiver for my childhood dog, Zoey. I took responsibility for making sure she was fed and watered, taking her for long walks and playing with her in our backyard. I knew that when I grew up, I would adopt a dog as soon as I could. A few months before I was discharged from the Marine Corps, I reached out to my hometown's local animal shelter about Baron. Baron was a 2-year-old, Boxer/Pit mix and from the moment I saw his picture, I knew he was going to be my boy. I called the shelter regularly to see if he was still there and let them know the day I could pick him up. I drove from my base in California to my Mom's house in Florida, dropped my stuff off, and immediately went to the shelter to adopt Baron. For the first few months I took him everywhere I went. All my friends and family knew that if Dan was coming, so was Baron. A few years after adopting Baron, I shared pictures of him with a girl I was talking to, and she immediately wanted to meet him. I took him for a walk with her and, as they say, the rest is history, she’s my wife. She brought two cats to the relationship, Teyla and Cara, and I eventually adopted a third cat, Ahsoka, with her. I cared for Baron together for 10 years. In 2022, he was diagnosed with bone cancer in his jaw, and we decided to try surgery, chemo and radiation. My wife and I got another 3 years with him, when the vet had told us he had 6 months to live. In 2025, his cancer returned, and he passed away just a few months before I got married. I spread some of his ashes at our wedding ceremony at one of the purest lakes in New Zealand and his name is engraved on our wedding bands. Shortly after saying goodbye to Baron, my wife and I adopted our fourth cat, Leia. I like to say she is Baron reincarnated because she follows me everywhere and has taken his place begging for food at the dinner table. I love meeting new dogs and cats, and have never met a dog that doesn't like me (I think everyone knows that cats aren't always that easy to win over!). As the caregiver for your pet, I bring years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have experience with puppies, kittens, and senior dogs and cats. I am experienced with delivering oral and topical medications, and hand feeding. I am experienced with obedience training and basic commands, crate training, walking on a lead, different types of dog collars, and off leash e-collar use. I understand how to safely have dogs meet, and what signs to look for to signal aggression, discomfort, fear, or playfulness when around other dogs. I understand that pets have routines and schedules, and I will adjust my day to make sure your pet can keep their routine. I know what it's like to have another person care for my pets, and I will make sure to send photos and messages with updates to let you know your pet is safe and happy. As a stay-at-home trophy husband and cat dad, my day is flexible and I can ensure your pet's care and comfort is my top priority. I am currently working part time so I have a flexible schedule to acommodate your pet's routine. Your pet will get a considerable amount of attention and care while I'm with them. I have used Rover in the past for my own dog so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, whether it's reinforcing good behavior or just giving lots of care and love, your pet's well being is my top priority. I'm available when you need me. From checking in on your pets while you are on vacation, taking your dog for a nice stimulating walk, or staying the night with your pets, let me know what works best for you! I will care for your pet in your home so they feel safe and comfortable. I will always have your dog on a leash and check the immediate area for other people/animals before leaving the house. I will respect your home like it's my own house, and I will follow your pet's schedule and house rules.
“Nicole took great care of my two pups! Very attentive and loving on my doggies! I ended up extending my trip and Nicole was super flexible and responsive! Already sent another booking request :)”
“We will never be able to thank Lori enough. There was a fire in our building and she got both pets, and herself, out safely. Our pets immediately warmed up to her, we received lots of photos throughout the weekend, and I knew without a doubt that our pets were safe and taken care of. We would absolutely book with Lori again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.”
“This was our first time using Rover as well as an in home dog sitter. Our dogs have a hard time staying at boarding facilities so we wanted to find a more comfortable solution for them. I can’t thank Taylor enough for taking care of our girls and allowing them to keep their usual routine while we were away. I appreciated the check ins and photo updates so much! Taylor is kind, professional, & compassionate. All things any pet owner would hope for in their sitter.”
“Jharana was a fantastic pet sitter, she looked after our pup Lyla really well in our home and kept us updated with pictures and messages daily! She kept our home immaculately clean and was a great communicator. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Debra was wonderful! She took great care of our goldens, who have opposite personalities and speeds, and she was a responsible and conscientious house guest as well. We will definitely utilize her services again.”
“Kayla was amazing!! She watched my two dogs at our house for a week and took great care of them!! She was fast with communicating and always updating me with cute pictures of my boys!! I will definitely be using her again!!”
“Absolutely THE best!! All my pets were chill, calm and secure when I returned from my trip. Erin not only took amazing care of all my pets but left the house immaculate as well! Very responsible, attentive, caring, respectful of everyone and everything. Included in my brood is 3 senior pets and truly felt comfortable w Erin taking care of them. Would definitely book again!”
“Acadia gave my anxious dogs so much love and care while we were away. They loved her the moment they met her, and she has the breadth of experience and innate ability to earn their trust. We look forward to her next stay with them!”
“Jylesha took excellent care of my two dogs and my home while I was away for two weeks. She shared lots of updates and photos which gave me peace of mind, and when I returned home I could tell right away that my fur babies were not stressed as they sometimes are after a long absence. They clearly felt safe and loved. I have an older cattle dog and a young energetic pittie. They both took to Jylesha immediately when she came for a meet and greet, and she was very attentive to their different needs during her stay. I would highly recommend Jylesha for anyone needing a caring and responsible pet sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was around 11. Normally at that age just for close friends and family. I used to walk them and feed them and even sometimes get to bathe them. I have a dog right now and I love him with all my heart!! I absolutely love animals. Highly interested in house sitting. I’m off on Wednesdays, Saturday and Sunday so I will be with your pet all day during that time. The other days of the week I will be at work, but we will return immediately after to take care of them. I take my dog for walks and potty breaks every 2-3 hours because right now he is a puppy. I would do the same for your pup, as well as play with them or let them outside to play as much as you’d like me to.
About: Hey! My name is Haylie and I have lived in North Raleigh my entire life! I have 12 years of experience with animals. I started off volunteering at a horse farm in Wake Forest and SAFE Haven for Cats in Raleigh (UTD). My paid work experience I worked as a Kennel tech at a veterinarian hospital, 2 boarding kennels, I was a pet sitter and dog walker at a local place here in Raleigh and I also was a dog bather, so I know the basic grooming if you are also looking for that 🙂 I would love to meet your family and build an awesome relationship with you and your fur baby! ❤️ 🐕🐈 My wonderful husband and I have four beautiful blessings! They are all boys! This would be nothing unusual for us! My husband is very supportive and we can balance anything as long as we trust in God always! In your home, I will follow your rules and ways 100%. I like to let my pups stay out with us when we are home, but I also know first hand how useful a Kennel is for a dog, especially for a young learning pup. My dogs is older and house trained very well, but I do kennel if I need to and he loves it.
“Todd did such a wonderful job of caring for our fur baby while we were away! It was our first time leaving him for an extended amount of time so we were a bit nervous, but Todd cared for Grizzy like his own fur babies. Todd is a kind and trustworthy care taker. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the Raleigh area!”
“Rebecca was great! She is the first person I ever left my dog with that wasn’t family and her communication and experience left me very comfortable. Check ins were especially appreciated. Highly recommended”
“Loren took amazing care of my two cats while I was away. She followed their care instructions thoroughly and she truly allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worrying if the cats were well taken care of. I really appreciated her communication and truly loved all of the picture updates she sent me each day. Loren was overall wonderful and I would 100% request her help in the future.”

The best I have felt leaving my pets in someone else’s care. I have an elderly dog who can be very grumpy and Al was so sweet with him. My cat who hides from everyone even came out to get pets from him. It was basically a staycation for them and I couldn’t be more thankful. I appreciated all of the pictures and coming home to a clean house!
Nicole took exceptional care of Juju! We were nervous since this was our first time leaving our dog with anyone other than direct family, but Nicole was great. She came and met Juju months before and gave us peace of mind. She sent daily pictures and updates. We are so thankful to have found a great dog sitter like Nicole! 10/10 recommend!
Özlen was great. We experienced a severe weather event that destroyed windows in the neighborhood, and her first priority was ensuring the safety of our dogs. It was incredibly apparent that she loved and cared for our dogs like she would her own. And she handled their admittedly over-the-top meal routine like a champ. She stayed at our house for over a week and left it in a better state than she found it. She took lots of pictures, and kept us updated on them every day. And she took our dogs on runs, which they absolutely loved! If I had one small note, Özlen is a very gentle caregiver. I would recommend her to people whose dogs do not need a strong hand, or adherence to commands and rules. If all you need is for your dogs to be compassionately cared for, with lots of love and attention, then she is your perfect sitter!
I’m almost hesitant to tell everyone just how wonderful Tammy really is, because I’m afraid everyone will want to book her and she won’t have time for my babies! But she absolutely deserves this glowing review! Tammy was amazing from start to finish. Leaving our two fur babies in someone else’s care isn’t easy, but she gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs have very different personalities. Sisko took to Tammy right away, while our little Sassi is much more cautious and prefers to warm up to people on her own terms. Tammy was incredibly patient, gentle, and understanding, giving Sassi the time and space she needed to feel comfortable. We truly appreciated Tammy’s communication, attentiveness, and genuine care for our babies. Knowing they were safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away. Tammy is everything you could hope for in a pet sitter, and we will absolutely be booking her again.
Rachel was great with our German shepherd. She sent us daily messages describing what they were up to and he really seemed to enjoy her company. She took great care of him and our house while we were gone. She also made sure we were arriving back on time before she left him:)
We had a wonderful experience with Tanvi taking care of Oreo while we were away. She was very kind and caring, and regularly sent us updates and pictures of Oreo, which gave us so much peace of mind. We had asked her not to leave Oreo alone for too long, and she was very thoughtful about it. Whenever possible, she would take Oreo with her when she went out, which we really appreciated. We felt very comfortable knowing Oreo was in such good hands. Highly recommend Tanvi! ❤️🐾
We had such a great experience with Meghan! She stayed at our home with our two dogs for the weekend, and we couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving our girls in her care. It was our first time using Rover and having someone stay in our home, and she made the whole experience so easy! Her communication was wonderful, she sent lots of pictures, and she spoiled our girls in all the best ways! She also took great care of our home. Everything was so clean when we got back, you wouldn’t have known anyone had stayed! We’re so happy we found her and will absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend! 😊
John was able to help us out with pet sitting needs last minute for a weekend and everything went very smoothly between communication following the directions that I left and we discussed and dogs being very happy upon our return and everything in good order. The photos were very helpful throughout the weekend and the updates.
Nicole is a fantastic Dogsitter. She’s knowledgeable and caring and you can tell she loves animals and they love her! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. She left our house sparkling clean and even watered my plants. We can’t wait to have her back!
Rachel watched our two dogs for a week while we were away for our wedding, and she was absolutely amazing! She sent photo updates throughout her stay, which gave us total peace of mind. Her extensive experience with dogs is obvious in how naturally she interacts with them. I would 1000% recommend booking with Rachel - we will definitely be rebooking in the future!
We had a wonderful experience with Callie! She stayed overnight at our home with our two dogs for the weekend and took excellent care of them. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure they were happy and comfortable while we were away. One thing we especially appreciated was the regular updates and photos she sent throughout the weekend. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We came home to two happy pups and a well-cared-for home. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Kim is a great sitter. She jumped in to cover for someone and was very independent and efficient. Communication was a breeze and most importantly, my 3 furry faces were super happy with her care. We would love to have her again and could not recommend her more to anyone seeking peace of mind. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Neuse is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $69 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 2,971 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Neuse. 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 Neuse 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 Neuse 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 Neuse 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.
