“Allison was great with my 2 pugs. She went above and beyond what I expected. My go loved her. She watered plants, filled Hummingbird feeders and dispensed medicine to one of the girls. She left my house clean and was a joy to work with”
“Kendall did a great job caring for my dogs. They loved her!! She took them on adventures and treated them to pup cups at Starbucks! Yes, my dogs are a little bougie 😊. I highly recommend Kendall to care for your pet(s).”
“Katie was able to accommodate a last minute booking for our Great Dane. Communication was great and she was patient with our pup while it took her a little time to warm up to a new person. She was a great house sitter and we would definitely recommend and hope book again with her in the future!”
“Jordan was a very polite young woman who exceeded our expectations for our puppy, Molly. She is now a year old, not 10 months (from when I booked her), and we were really worried, so we had Jordan come by a couple of times, and it worked out the best! (She kept the house picked up, which was not required!) We had a really great experience with Jordan and highly recommend her to anyone. If she could hold Molly down for a week, she could do anything! Can't wait to have her back in the Fall!”
“Victoria was such a great babysitter for Melvin, he had an awesome time with his new friend. She sent lots of pictures and was kind, clean, nice, and professional. Highly recommend her to look after your fur babies”
“Sadie stayed at my condo for seven days watching our dog and cat. She did an amazing job. She was trustworthy and responsible and she gave 150% for everything she did. Sadie communicated well before, during, and after her stay. She was clean and she was gracious. I will definitely plan to see if Sadie is available if I ever am out of town and I highly recommend her to anybody wanting an amazing pet sitter!”

“Zach did a great job and placed high priority on the comfort and well being of our dog. He found ways to get her to bond with him and made sure we were up to date on how she was doing multiple times a day. Zach left the house as he found it and was very professional. Highly recommend.”
“Reliable, thorough and kind! Damica took care of Rocky and our house while we were away on vacation and sent multiple pictures everyday without prompting. It felt relieving to know our dog was in great hands.”
“Sara’s first stay with Mabel was a 10 day stint. She sent daily updates and did a great job. My house was clean when I arrived back home and Mabel was happy. I will be using her again.”
“Brea was perfect. She was everything we could hope for while leaving our Arlo for the evening. She's excellent with communication and support. We had her come earlier than we needed to leave so she'd have time to get to know our little weirdo. She was kind and patient while we finished getting ready. We arrived home to a happy, relaxed Arlo, and to us that's everything. We absolutely trust Brea and hope she's available for all of our outings! Highly recommended. A+, 5 star experience!”

About: I have a Shih-Tzu and 2 cats currently. But grew up with dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I have experience with exotic animals too (marine animals mostly) and am currently a full-time animal trainer & a part-time vet assistant. I have a flexible schedule & reliable transportation and would love to help you and your family. I am available for long walks or a drop in visit. I'm located in downtown Indy & willing to travel to you and your furry friend. I feel comfortable feeding and administering medications or any special care that your dog will need. Also am comfortable walking long distances or playing ball. I am also comfortable checking on/caring for your cat. I have volunteer experience at zoos, aquariums, and shelters as well. Thank you so much, I hope to hear from you soon! I work with animals all day, every day. Please just message me to see if your schedule will work with mine. Thank you so much! I will make sure to be careful coming and going and that the leash is secure at all times. I stay very alert to my surroundings, especially on walks. I take care of animals all day at work & then come home & care for mine & would love to help bring you piece of mind while you're away. I make sure that the pet(s) are safe and secure and follow all of the instructions left for me carefully. I make sure that your pet always have what they need.
“Hannah has been great to watch our dog multiple times when we are out of town. She is reliable with good communication throughout the stay. We will continue to reach out to her!”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a dog and recently became a dog owner myself, and I quickly realized just how much joy, comfort, and companionship they bring into our lives. I’m completely obsessed with my own pup and know firsthand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable when you can’t be there. There was a time when I needed someone to help care for my pup, and I remember how much that support meant to me. Now, I’d love to be that person for other pet parents. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra attention, or simply a little companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same patience, care, and affection I’d want for my own. I’m excited to get to know each pup’s unique personality and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. 🐾 With a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pup the walks, attention, and love they deserve! 🐾 I know how much peace of mind it brings to have someone you trust care for your dog, and I’d love to be that person for you and your pup. My pup is crate-trained and has his own comfortable space for when I’m not home, but otherwise he’s free to roam around the house as he pleases. We also have a backyard where he can safely enjoy some fresh air, play, and explore. I want any dog staying with us to feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pittsboro
Hayli was wonderful with Cascade! She took her on a couple of walks and kept me updated the entire time with lots of great photos. She even vacuumed the house before she left which was completely unexpected and such a kind gesture! She also left a note with a cute polaroid picture of Cascade on the counter!! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely book with her again! Thanks again Hayli! ☺️

This was our first time using Rover.com and we were very impressed with this service. Just great!!! And, the highlight was our sitter, Taylor! We had her come to meet Levi about a week before we left to make sure both her and Levi would be good together. He can sometimes be a grouchy old man! lol After the meeting, we felt we made a great connection with finding a sitter for Levi. Taylor was awesome. She sent us pics showing what he was up to each day. We will definitely be telling our friends about Taylor and Rover.com - this is the way to go rather than stressing your pet out taking them to the kennel. Taylor was GREAT!!!!! Thanks so much!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Pittsboro
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Pittsboro is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $42 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 1,390 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pittsboro. 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 Pittsboro 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 Pittsboro 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 Pittsboro 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.
