“Marci is the best! She watched my four dogs overnight in my home. She brings calm to the dogs and to me. She sent plenty of pupdates, she’s puntual, a great communicator and cate taker. She also took great care of our home.”
“Bonnie stepped in last minute after a cancellation with another sitter. She came by for a meet and greet and my nervous pup warmed up to her almost immediately. She was wonderful with them both and kept me updated with pictures the entire stay. I am very grateful to have had her help! ☺️”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and cats for most of it — pet care has just always been part of my world. For the past 5 and a half years, I’ve raised my own dog, a German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix, from a puppy to adulthood, including working through his reactivity, so I have real hands-on experience with reactive and high-energy dogs. I know structured exercise, mental stimulation, training, and reading a dog’s cues, and I’m comfortable handling pets that need a more experienced, patient hand. Whether your dog is laid-back or comes with their own quirks, they’ll be in good hands with me. I was recently laid off from my full-time job at the airport, so my schedule is completely flexible to fit the needs of you and your pet(s). Your home and your pet’s safety are always my top priority. I treat every house I stay in with the same care and respect I’d want for my own — securing doors and gates, following your pet’s routine closely, and staying alert to anything out of the ordinary. I’m comfortable, calm, and responsible in someone else’s space, and I communicate regularly so you always know your pet (and your home) are in good hands while you’re away.
“Desirae was awesome and my dogs loved her! Not only did she allow me to book her on short notice (only a few days prior), she communicated great, sent lots of pics and videos of my 2 dogs, and followed my directions to the tee. My husband and I will definitely be booking her again!”
“We have now used Hailey repeatedly, and have absolutely loved having her house sit for our boys. Her communication is outstanding, photo updates multiple times daily, and our house is always clean when we return. She loves on our pups like they are her own, and we appreciate her so much!”
“Ruah was very communicative and reliable during her stay with our kitties. She left the place immaculate and we came home to two happy, healthy fur babies. Would work with Ruah again!”
“Michelle was absolutely excellent with our two dogs while we were gone. She was very patient with our special needs dog and took great care ensuring they were comfortable. She sent pictures and updates each day.”
“Kayleigh is absolutely wonderful. We came home to healthy and happy pups after a week across the country. She sent us updates every time she dropped in with the pups snuggling all over her when they’re usually a little slow to warm up to new people. Would absolutely recommend and will be contacting her for future pet sitting needs!”
About: I grew up helping take care of dogs and have been around them for as long as I can remember. I've looked after my own dogs as well as those of friends and family. There’s hardly been a year in my life without a dog in it, and I truly can’t imagine life without one! I currently work full time as a 2nd grade teacher, but I’m available on weekends for boarding, walking, or playing with your dog. During the week I can walk your dog in the late afternoon and evening. I have a fenced in yard and my house is in a neighborhood. I currently have one dog who is a morkipoo and is very playful and loves other dogs. I am able to crate your dog if needed.
About: I've had pets growing up my entire life. I love animals and just enjoy being around them and giving them love! I've taken care of several pets for friends and family and just want to continue to do that for others when needed. I have my own business so I have a very flexible schedule and can be available day or night to take care of your furr babies 😊 My own animals are so friendly and loving and my home would be completely safe for ur furr babies but at this time I won't be able to board any pets at my house. This may change in the future.
“Katy was fantastic! She was so communicative and was the best caretaker of our dog Josie. She took our directions very considerately and keep us informed daily over the week she watched our dog. I would absolutely hire her again in a heartbeat.”
“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing! She took care of all four of my babies like they were her own. She kept me updated on everything, sent pictures, and replied back instantly! She kept the house immaculate and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!”
“I cannot praise Blanca and Mark's care of our babies and home enough to do them justice! They pampered our two rescue and reactive dogs with daily brushings and massaging, twice-daily walks and a lot of cuddling, training and rewarding in addition to feeding and medicating them on schedule. We received daily updates with videos and reports of each day's accomplishments. Our plants were monitored and new plants propagated. We even received gifts from their garden as well as (my favorite) a cutting of Pothos artfully displayed in one of our vases! Our refreshed home and relaxed fur babies made our homecoming not only painless - but very welcoming. They left our house, linens and appliances in pristine condition (not as we had left it) and even relieved some of the visible clutter! Blanca's eye for form and display were apparent throughout the house. Blanca and Mark's care this past week greatly exceeded our expectations and I will definitely be asking for their help in the future. I would give them more stars if possible.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Pine Knolls
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pine Knolls on Rover is $31.08 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 920 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pine Knolls. 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 Pine Knolls 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 Pine Knolls 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 Pine Knolls 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pine Knolls. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
