“We can’t thank Rob enough for his kindness and patience with our high energy dog, Pacino. He was the best with him and sent us numerous photos of our sweet boy everyday! You can tell he truly cares”
“Emma is the best! I have such peace of mind when she’s taking care of my boys while I’m away. She follows all of their care instructions carefully, and gives them lots of love. Thank you so much, Emma!”
“Alyssa was wonderful! Will use her again! This was my first experience with having a dog sitter and through this site! Would highly recommend! Alyssa came prior to our vacation and met us and lady. Super sweet girl! During our trip she kept in contact since she knew I was nervous and sent lots of pictures! Thank you again Alyssa!”
“My husband and I can not say enough good things about Abbie. We had not taken a vacation in a few years due to concerns about our energetic newly adopted boy and our aging girl. She was so gentle, calm, understanding and took such good care of them. She provided us thoughtful updates while we were gone and they were happy when we got home. Peace of mind is absolutely priceless. Thank you Abbie for everything and we will see you again soon!”
“It was such a relief having Hailey watch our dog while we were away. She took such good care of him, especially considering caring for his allergies can be a bit of a daunting task. Not only was he well cared for but he was definitely given a lot of love by her while we were away. Which also means the world to us. We would recommend her to anyone!”
“This was our third time using Josh for overnight stays, and he continues to be a really great sitter. His communication is excellent. He provides regular updates and is always very responsive. It's stressful to have your pets care (and your home) in someone else's hands. Josh's communication definitely helps us feel more at ease. We have a fenced yard, but Josh always takes Rider on walks which I really appreciate (as does Rider). Every time we've come home you'd never know he was there. He brings in packages, etc. which again, I really appreciate. We will continue to book Josh without question!”
“Kelly is super reliable and clearly loves animals. She sent us daily videos and photos of our cat. At the end of the week, she stripped the bed and washed the bedding and towels. This was a great time saver for me when I got home. I would book her again without hesitation!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Naomi pet sit my puppy, and I couldn't be more impressed. Naomi went above and beyond by sending regular updates with pictures and text messages, which really put my mind at ease. She also took care of extra tasks like bringing up the trash bins and collecting the mail, which was a thoughtful touch. When I returned home, the house was spotless, and my puppy was clearly well cared for. I will definitely rely on Naomi for future vacations and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a fantastic pet sitter.”
About: With a full year of Rover experience and a strong base of repeat clients, I bring reliability, consistency, and genuine care to every booking. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, including my own 80‑lb senior lab, and I understand how important it is to maintain routines, provide calm structure, and keep pets comfortable. Whether your pet needs playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience, I’m committed to giving them attentive, high‑quality care. A meet & greet is required for all first time clients. I want to make sure this is a good fit for everyone! Pet care is a core part of my everyday life because pet‑sitting is my full‑time job. My days revolve around maintaining consistent routines, giving each pet plenty of attention, and making sure everyone feels comfortable and cared for. I’m home throughout the day, which means I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and companionship without rushing or squeezing things in. With my own 8‑year‑old, 80‑lb lab by my side, caring for dogs is simply part of the rhythm of my home and my week. Pets staying with me get reliable structure, lots of interaction, and a calm environment where they can settle in and feel at ease. I offer both in‑home boarding and in‑home sitting, and I tailor my care to whatever helps pets feel the most comfortable. When pets stay with me, they have full access to my fenced‑in backyard for safe outdoor time, plus daily walks either through downtown Lambertville or along the quieter D&R towpath depending on their energy level and personality. My home is set up for dogs to relax, follow familiar routines, and enjoy plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also happy to stay in a client’s home when that’s the best fit. In those cases, I adapt completely to the pet’s existing schedule, environment, and household routines—whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, maintaining training habits, or keeping their usual walking routes. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, understood, and cared for, no matter which service their family chooses.
About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life. Neighbors, friends, and family have all trusted me with walking, feeding, bathing, and loving their furry friends. I do this work because I absolutely love animals and spending time with them each day brings me a lot of joy. I work full time but my schedule is really flexible if given enough notice! Holidays, weekends, weekdays - whatever your needs are, we can work something out. I always keep a backup leash and roll of dog bags with me on walks just in case. I'll always respect your preferences with your pet.
About: I’ve loved animals since i was little and have always taken care of any pet like they are my own! I always give my dog and other dogs all the attention in the world! I currently work for my moms painting company so my schedule is very flexible and I will always make time to care for your animals! I have a fenced in yard that allows my dog to be safe and makes me comfortable with her running around. I also take her on walks which allows her to become socialized with other dogs!

Currently, I am in college and my classes are remote and online! On weekends I tend to be home unless visiting friends but will work with you based on your needs and communicate if anything changes. I treat all pets like they are my own. I keep pets on leashes during walks. If there is any mess for drop-in I will clean it up. I don’t smoke I’m very clean I’ll treat your house the same. I love going on long walks/ runs with dogs I have taken care of. Safety and security are my number one priority. I would make sure to follow specific instructions in your home and respect your property like my own.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and Guinea pigs for the past 9 years. Makes sure my neighbors dog when out of town is fed, walked, bathed, and clothed. Currently working part time in social media management, so I’m home with more than enough time to cater towards fur babies! I’m available Monday through Saturday of every week. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood that even supplies bags for dogs. There’s more than enough room in my apartment for zoomies, crates, And most furniture that they are allowed on!
About: I grew up with mutts and shepherds and Labradors. I continued to adopt a black, yellow and fox red Labradors and a Malinois over the years. I raised my mom’s Wheaton terrier puppy and potty trained until it was cleared to be around her senior Border terrier. I have a friend with a Walker Treeing Coonhound that we frequently have stay with us. I house sit for my brother and SIL who have had 3 Great Danes several cats and now have an Airedale Terrier and 2 Ocicats. I was a preschool teacher for many many years. I have retired and am looking for activities to fill my time. I love being outdoors on sunny days with my dog, Rainbow while we watch our yard full of birds, squirrels and chipmunks. I live on an acre of mostly flat, fully fenced in yard. My dog and cat are very friendly and don’t mind other animals in our home. I do have crates but have never really needed to use them with all the time we spend with our dogs. If we were to house another dog, we are able to contain the dog on one floor or just in a tiled room with direct access and o the fenced in yard.
“We had a great visit drop-in visit with Karren. She was available within 24 hours of me reaching out to do a meet + greet and also come by later in the day to meet our dog, Walter, feed him/walk him/play with him. She left our home tidy and sent cute pics of Walter. We look forward to working with Karren again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pineville
I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Tuck was recovering from surgery and needed extra care and attention, especially since he couldn’t be left alone. She was absolutely amazing with both Tuck and Odin! She followed all of our instructions carefully, made sure Tuck was comfortable, safe, and happy throughout his recovery, and took wonderful care of Odin as well. She was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our boys were in good hands. I’m truly grateful for the love and care she showed them. I would absolutely trust her with my dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
We went away for a date night and had Wendy come over to refresh her bond with Liam and Colby. It looks like they had a good time together from the pictures she sent. We are very comfortable with Wendy staying at our house overnight. She always makes sure things are just right!

The average cost of House Sitting in Pineville is $89 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $72 and $101 per night.

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 Pineville 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 Pineville 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 Pineville 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.
