“We are so grateful Whitney was able to look after our pup! Whitney was so easy to communicate with and took great care of our home and pup. Would definitely book again!”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and reliable, attentive care. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs—helping with training, administering meds, and giving them the patience and attention they need. I treat every pet like family and always keep owners updated. As a summer student in the area, I have a flexible schedule that makes it easy to give pets the time, attention, and care they need each day. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I truly enjoy it. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable—whether it’s in my home or theirs. I stick to their routines, go on regular walks, play their favorite games, and give lots of attention. I always aim to create a calm, happy environment where they feel at ease.
“This was my first time having Dawn watch my energetic corgi, Cornbread. Dawn did absolutely amazing with her! Cornbread just loves to play and Dawn gave her plenty of attention while I was away and sent plenty of pictures and videos. She kept me updated each day on Cornbread’s health, that she was fine with eating/staying hydrated, and behaving well. She also brought her dog over so Cornbread would have a friend to play with. Lastly she went above and beyond and left a custom sticker of Cornbread from her visit! Would absolutely love to book again with Dawn!”
“Nicole is always so sweet and patient with our baby Walter. He's so comfortable with her now, we loved seeing them cuddled on the couch together. She takes such good care of him. We will definitely continue to book with Nicole in the future!”
“Ozlen was great - she helped me out on same day, 1 hr notice… it was a huge relief for me! She was super attentive to Millie’s schedule, and with only a brief review of the program, she hit all the pieces and Millie loved her. Will def call Ozlen back.”
“Traveled to Raleigh to see TOP concert. Booked Tammy to watch our pups Mandee and Coco while we were at the concert. She was fantastic! Sent picture updates. Would definitely recommend and will use her again if available when we travel to town”
“Nicole was amazing with our Sadie girl! She made our first time leaving our fur baby seamless with detailed updates, and lots of love to our girl! We look forward to booking with her again.”
“We’ve booked Nathan more than once now and he’s really great. Very dependable, follows our care instructions, is responsive, and keeps us updated. Highly recommend booking him. Thank you for taking great care of our boys!”
“John was a fantastic sitter! He was able to watch our dog with short notice. He made sure to stop by for a meet up before watching her. He sent so many pictures while watching her and gave us many updates, which made us feel secure with him watching our girl. Highly recommend!”
“Rachel was a “dreamboat” for our senior pups! She was available for them during the daytime and woke up early with them every morning! We could not ask for a better experience with a sitter for Sallie and Pixie and our home. If we have needs in the future she will be the first one we call!”
“Jharana was great! She left our house as clean as she found it and took great care of our pups. They were less anxious when we returned which must mean they felt well-taken care of. I appreciated the pics and updates - great level of communication. We'd love to have Jharana back!”
“Rachel was very flexible and reliable house sitting with our dog for a long weekend. Our dog seemed happy and our house was well taken care of. Rachel sent photos and updated which is always appreciated.”
“Elise did an amazing job with my goldendoodle! She stepped in last minute with her availability and communicated with me the entire time. We will definitely use her again and highly recommended!!”
About: Ive taken care of dogs for my friends and family since college and until recently, had an amazing little Maltese named Sawyer for 14 wonderful years. After his passing earlier this year, I have had 3 different housesitting jobs for my friends which has shown me how much I miss having an animal companion, but I am just not ready to get another one. The max number of dogs that I have ever watched was four but depending on temperament, I could be comfortable with more. By working from home, I’m able to care for dogs in my home or travel to your home, depending on your preference. My typical work schedule is 8:00 AM–5:00 PM, and because I work remotely, I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and, of course, lots of cuddles. I’m happiest when I’m curled up with a good book and a fur baby nearby. My experience with pet sitting has primarily been with families whose pets are not crate trained, so I’m very comfortable with pets having access to furniture and sleeping in the bed. The animals in my life have always been treated as part of the family, and I’m comfortable accommodating different routines and personalities. I have experience caring for dogs who are graze eaters as well as dogs who follow a specific feeding schedule. Before he passed, my little guy was taking several medications, so I’m also comfortable administering medications and keeping up with specific timing and routines. I live in a ranch-style townhouse with a yard, although it is not fenced in. Because of this, I would always follow the owner’s instructions regarding outdoor time and would not allow a pet outside unattended.
“Megan was wonderful! She sent many pictures of Houston and Maggie, as this was her first time pet sitting for us. Megan's communication with us was great and the house was perfect when we arrived home. I would definitely contact Megan again to pup sit for us!”
“Lauren did a fantastic job of taking care of our two dogs while we were out of the country for couple of weeks. We had trouble with our internet which affected Lauren’s ability to work remote while staying at our house but she was a trooper and found a way to work around the issue and also had it fixed. She is the best and you can rest assured your pets are in good hands. I highly recommend her.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Neuse
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.
6/5⭐️’s for Taylor!! She was absolutely amazing! We were gone for 12 days and that’s the longest we have ever left them, so I was extremely nervous. We have five pets which all have different needs of care and Taylor did a fantastic job with all of them. I recieved multiple check ins a day and plenty of pictures of all of my babies! She even clipped my Dalmatian’s nails that we forgot to trim in our pre-travel stress. She watered my plant children and even mowed our yard! 🤯 I already have her booked for our next trip in November and for two trips next year 🤭
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!
Raven watched our 2 golden doodles for 2 weeks! They loved her and so did we. Raven is so sweet and she did everything we asked and more. This was the first time we have ever left our pups ( age 6 & 13) with anyone and they were happy with Raven. So nice to know we have her for the next time.
Natalie’s professionalism was on display from our initial contact and the dogs fell in love with her at the meet and greet. While we were gone, she was quick to respond to us, and usually she initiated contact; she sent multiple pictures and updates daily. She was patient with our high maintenance dogs and creatively and calmly handled their quirky behaviors. The house was in great shape upon our return, and the dogs were happy and healthy. We will definitely be seeking Natalie’s services again, and we highly recommend her to you.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
