“Tim is amazing! Would rebook him anytime. Super detailed about care and directions, great updates and just overall made me feel at ease about leaving Louie, who has some senior special needs, in his care. It’s hard to find people that are as kind and thoughtful about your pet and home, but Tim is that person. Thank you so much.”

“This was our first time using a dog sitter for our anxious human-wannabe 13 yo Maltese yorkie (she usually stays with family). We were nervous leaving our sweet girl with a stranger, but Charlii immediately made us feel at ease during our meet and greet. She took great care of our dog, giving her love, care, and attention as if she were her own. Her daily updates are thorough, and included things like medication success, meal amounts, playtime activities, and lots of pictures. We returned after a week away to a happy, healthy dog and a clean home. She’s incredible and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”

About: I've been working with dogs of a variety of ages and breeds to add to my income, providing house sitting and dogwalking. I'm happy to help with routine duties and can discuss your pet's needs. I have a part-time remote schedule and am interested in discussing drop-ins or walks from 10-2 on weekdays. I can rearrange work to provide flexible support on request. I can provide drop-ins or walks, according to client instructions. I am not providing care in my own home currently, but I can travel to clients.

“Rita was so great with my dog Billy! I could tell from the moment she came over that she has a natural way with animals and such a patient, calming disposition, which was especially great for Billy, who can be a little particular. She jumped right in, took him on a walk, and really made it a priority to help him feel comfortable with her. On top of that, she was incredibly communicative, flexible, and just an all-around wonderful house sitter. I felt so good knowing Billy was in her care and would absolutely work with Rita again!”

“I was so grateful that Cassandra and her daughter (who’s also on Rover) watched my dog, Shaya, after a very last minute cancellation from another sitter. Shaya can be nervous and a bit reactive, but was immediately comfortable with both, and they each clearly have a lot of experience with dogs. They sent regular photos and videos and took beautiful care of my home. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again.”

About: I have cared for multi-pet households. I have experience feeding, brushing, changing litter, and administering medication. I love animals of all sorts. I am also good with them. I am good at reading their body language, and a lot of them gravitate towards me for whatever reason. They tend to be comfortable with my presence. I am between jobs at the moment, so that means I am somewhat more flexible to work around your schedule. I am a little bit busy with stuff in my personal life, and obviously I have boundaries about when I can and can't be at your home and how much work I want to take on, but the lack of structure in my life right now means we have more options for how I can show up for your pets. I am not in school either at the moment. I am not planning to have this be my only source of income, but for now I am flexible. I can't have pets come to my apartment; it is too small and I don't live on the bottom floor so it would be too much of a hassle to take them outside. I can only come to your home. I am very respectful of boundaries and property when I enter someone else's home. I will pay close attention to your instructions about how to care for your pets and any important other details I need to know. I am responsible and detail oriented, so you can trust me in your home and with your animals. I care that my clients feel secure with me being there while they are away.

Ava did an outstanding job caring for my dog, Gemma, who has special needs. She followed my instructions carefully and asked thoughtful questions to ensure Gemma received the best possible care. When a health issue arose during my absence, she handled it exceptionally well by keeping me informed, sending photos, and communicating promptly. Fortunately, everything worked out fine. When I returned, Gemma was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Ava also took excellent care of my home and followed all of the condo rules. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely hire her again. I highly recommend her!

A true doggie professional - 5 stars. Experienced, reliable, friendly, responsive, and great to work with across the board. She immediately understood how to connect with our trauma rescue girl who hates when we’re away and how to manage her severe reactiveness with other dogs. We always felt like she was in great hands.

Hollie was great with our 7yr old pittie. She stayed in our home for over a week while we were away. She sent us daily pictures and also messaged if there were any concerns or updates. I appreciated that she made sure to follow her routine and any special instructions. We had a lot of peace of mind knowing that not only was our fur baby well taken care of but also loved. I highly recommend her and would be happy to have her take care of Laika again in the future.

Sophia took amazing care of our puppy Henry and senior dog Biscuit. It was our first time leaving our pup with a sitter, so it felt great knowing he (and Biscuit) were in such capable hands.

I'm so glad I booked with Carmen. She's got a gentle spirit and an empathic approach that reassured me that Juniper would be in wonderful hands. Juni obviously missed her when she left because she returned to the bed Carmen had slept in and stayed there all day. She sent me photos of Juniper while I was away and I could see she was happy with Carmen. Would rebook and recommend. And I think for extra sensitive animals Carmen would be a perfect choice as she takes care to make them feel respected and safe and let them come out of their shell.

FAQs for House Sitting - Piedmont

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Piedmont is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $139 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 November 2026, there are 8,616 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Piedmont. 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 Piedmont 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 Piedmont 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 Piedmont 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Piedmont. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
