About: •I have had animals all my life and have plenty of experience (fish, birds, cats, dogs, a rabbit) •I currently have 2 dogs & 3 cats at this time. Zeus is an American bully and Teddy is a Lab mix. They both love other dogs and playing but if needed I can keep mine separated with a baby gate in the dining room. •I have house sat for my brother and taken care of his dogs ( a Rottweiler and a pitbull) as well as my mom (another American bully) •I do work from home so I am available 24/7 for your fur baby, they are never left alone! •I do have two small children so if your fur baby doesn’t like children please reconsider (kids will not be allowed to mess with them or annoy them any way but I wanted to be upfront) •Any other questions feel free to ask! I work M-Th but I work from home so I am always around and available if needed, I can step away easily if it’s needed. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but we do live very rural so we don’t have to worry about dogs running into the road or running away… My dogs do pretty well with being off a leash and being watched but I know others aren’t comfortable with their dogs being out like that so a leash can be used as well.
About: I grew up with having a dog around the house, so I have always loved being around pets. The last two summers I have pet sat for families while they were on vacation. Some of the dogs I have taken care of have had medical needs, so I am able to give dogs medication if needed. I have taken care of big and small dogs. I look forward to working and taking care of your pet! During the summer I have more availability outside of when I am on vacation. For house sitting services, I am happy to provide overnight care for your pet. There will be times I will leave the home to run errands, go to work, family time and etc. But I will make sure that your pet’s routine is kept in tact and that they get all the snuggles and love they need. I am a full time teacher so once the school year starts my availability will change. I will not be able to provide pet care in my home. But I can provide pet care in a clients home. I am able to provide walks, feed your pet, provide snuggles, and medication if needed. I will ensure the client home stays clean if I am booked for overnight pet care. If it is too hot outside I may limit the time for the walk. I will also bring a water bottle with a bowl to make sure your dog does not overheat.
“Cameron did a fantastic job taking care of both my home and my tiny fury overlords! He took the time to get to know them, and I swear I think they were disappointed when I came back and Cameron left. 🤷🏼♂️ Will 100% be hiring him again for my upcoming trips.”
About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience, I bring not just a love for dogs, but a deep understanding of their needs at every stage of life. I’ve cared for energetic puppies who need play, structure, and basic training, as well as senior dogs who require patience, medication, and gentle handling. I’m calm, responsible, and detail-oriented, always making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I also pay close attention to each pup’s unique personality and routine, so your dog feels right at home—even when you’re away. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I structure my day to prioritize walks, feeding times, play sessions, and any special care each dog might need. Whether I’m doing drop-in visits or overnight stays, I make sure every pet gets consistent attention, love, and activity throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to be fully present and responsive to each dog’s needs, making sure they stay happy, healthy, and well-cared for at all times. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always treat their space with respect and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, medications, or favorite toys and routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, play, and love while keeping their space clean and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away, knowing your pet is in good hands.

“Cassie is super sweet, friendly, efficient and overall you can tell she is just a good. person. She is very responsive and proactive while watching my home and dog. She followed all instructions, asked good questions and sent daily check in's with loving pictures of my dog. He is an older dog and can get a bit anxious and he was so calm when I got home. You can see that she is a true animal lover. Cassie was very respectful of my home. She left it better than what she found it. Thank you Cassie! We really appreciate you!”


About: I’m a certified Physician Assistant and lifelong animal lover, and I’m excited to spend some extra time caring for your pets while I try to secure my first job as a PA! I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. My family had a cat who we brought home when I was 2 years old and who was part of my family until I was in college. We also had a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and during college I had a Siamese kitten that I shared with my roommates. More recently, I’ve enjoyed dog sitting (& house sitting) with my sister’s Golden Retriever and my best friend’s dog frequently while I was in school. I also watched my friend's kitten over the last year. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay comfortable and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m mainly busy with tasks at home each day while I work toward finding my first job as a PA. Right now, I have very open availability and would love the opportunity to care for your pets while getting a change of scenery and relocating my workspace! I currently plan to provide care in my clients’ homes rather than boarding pets in my own home. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, exercise, and crate use. I’m attentive to keeping pets safe and comfortable, and I’ll make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape routes are secure. I’ll also treat your home with care and respect while you’re away.
“Christina was amazing and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She came down before the job to meet us and the pets. We immediately felt comfortable with her and our dogs both loved her. She communicated with us while we were away and was even kind enough to send pet updates and pictures. Our home was well respected and exactly as we had left it. I’d highly recommend Christina as a house and pet sitter”


“Reggi was great with Lucy and Molly. She took them for daily walks, played ball in the backyard and loved my puppies. She sent daily updates and pictures and was great with communication. She was very professional and I would use her again.”

About: Hi, I’m Jessica-Sue, and I’d love to treat your pets like royalty! 👑 I come from a family of lifelong dog lovers—my mom rescued dogs, and my great aunt was a breeder and international dog judge. I also had a beloved cat, Lilly Anne, who passed in 2018, and I still hold a special place in my heart for her. I have over a decade of experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, puppies, kittens, and senior animals. I’m comfortable giving medication to both dogs and cats. I’ve fostered cats in the past and truly enjoy caring for animals of all kinds. I’ll care for your home respectfully and give your pets the love and attention they deserve. For all first-time bookings, I require a short meet-and-greet or video chat so your pets can get familiar with me and so we can review their routine and needs. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or booking requests—I’d love to connect! I’m new to Rover, but I’ve been housesitting and petsitting for over a decade through word of mouth, TrustedHousesitters, and House Sitters America. You’re welcome to check out my TrustedHousesitters profile to see my five-star reviews. I’ve also included some reviews below. I’m also happy to provide reference contacts upon request. “Jessica-Sue was incredibly flexible and easy to coordinate with. She is amazing with animals and she and Rupert LOVED each other immediately. She left my house looking spotless!” (Hound dog Rupert and two cats) Sarah THS, Brooklyn NYC Dec 2024 “Jessica-Sue was so great we asked her back a second time. Great with our pets and home.” (Border Collie Puppy, cat and lizard) Matthew THS, Savannah, GA Oct 2025 "I highly recommend Jessica-Sue for your house/pet sitting needs! With her calm and confident energy, I knew my pets were in good hands. She is thoughtful, organized and asked detailed questions to ensure that everything went perfectly. Jessica-Sue and I had great communication throughout the sit and she sent lots of photos with my team looking happy and well cared for. I especially appreciated her commitment to keeping my same routine, especially with my dog Bo. She took him for his evening walks/runs at Stone Mountain Park, which I know he loves. You will come back to a clean home with happy pets. (She even watered the lawn!!) Jessica-Sue is absolutely wonderful and you will be lucky to have her care for your home with as much love and attention as you do." —(Pit bull and 4 cats) Eve, House Sitters America, Georgia June 2023 “We had the absolute pleasure of having Jessica-Sue take care of our home, our beloved cats, and our plants while we were away—and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, her communication was kind, thoughtful, and clear. She arrived the night before the stay, which gave us the opportunity to walk her through everything and show her around the community pool and gym. That extra time meant a lot to us and set the tone for how caring and detail-oriented she is.Throughout her stay, Jessica-Sue kept us updated with regular messages and sent the most beautiful, thoughtful photos of each of our cats—each one felt like a little love letter from home. She clearly took time to connect with them, and it showed. Our cats were not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and very comfortable in her presence (and yes, they definitely miss her now!). Our house was spotless when we returned, and our plants looked healthier than ever. It’s rare to find someone who takes such care and pride in what they do. We wholeheartedly recommend Jessica-Sue to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and detail-oriented house and pet sitter. We’d welcome her back anytime!” — (5 cats) Corinna THS, Hendersonville NC Sept. 2025 “Jessica-Sue responded to a short notice request for someone to watch our just-adopted kittens. I was so grateful for her kindness and thoughtfulness. She takes great care of the house and the kittens and communicated regularly (which was key because we were nervous new cat parents!) she had lists of questions to make sure she knew everything she needed to and everything went smoothly. Highly recommend her!” — (Two sister kittens) Selena, Washington DC Feb 2024 "Jessica-Sue did some volunteering for our cat rescue group in Brooklyn and she proved to be both reliable and compassionate. She really cared about the well-being of the cat she fostered —he required daily pill medications and a particular food—and she asked questions and took her responsibilities seriously! It is great that J-S is available to help with fostering for a rescue group or shelter while she has no pets of her own at this time. Good fosters are not easy to find and are an integral part of rescue." —Maria Rozos, Board Secretary of Infinite Hope, Brooklyn, NY “I have known Jessica-Sue for over 5 years. We were in a performance workshop together and maintained contact primarily because of our love of animals. Jessica-Sue has taken care of my cat, Olive, at her apartment for week long time-periods while I was out of town. I know her to be a kind and responsible caretaker. My cat is always bright and content when I return home, and I am grateful knowing I can entrust my cat to Jessica-Sue’s care without worry.” —Jil, Newark, NJ I am a creative who works remotely as a writer, allowing me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. With a background in filmmaking and photography, I enjoy capturing beautiful photos of your pets during my stays. When I sit for you, you can feel confident knowing your home is secure and your pets are loved and well cared for. I send regular updates and high-quality photos during your trip—photography is a passion of mine, so you’ll get great pictures of your pets. I respect every home I stay in. I appreciate clean, well-cared-for spaces and treat your home with the same attention I give my own. No one will enter your home without your permission, and I will leave everything as clean and tidy as I found it. I live a completely sober lifestyle—I don’t smoke, drink, or use recreational drugs. I’m also happy to care for indoor and outdoor plants with clear instructions.

“Mackenzie was a fantastic house sitter!! She spent lots of time with my pets, communicated well, and went above and beyond to watch my home while I was traveling. Would recommend her in a heartbeat. Knowing my pets were taken care of allowed me to relax and enjoy vacation more!”

“Came in town for concert Labor Day Weekend with 3 Miniature Schnauzers Pepper, Mandee, and Coco. We booked Latrice to watch them while we were at the concert. She was very prompt in showing up to watch them. Latrice is super sweet! She Took excellent care of them so we could enjoy the concert without having to worry about the dogs being in a strange place. They loved her! Whenever we come back to Charlotte, we will definitely book Latrice again. I highly recommend her to watch your fur babies too!”

About: I’ve had pets since I’ve moved out on my own ten years ago. I’ve homed lizards, cats, and dogs. I love so beings being animals are my favorite! I have experience with training puppies and kittens. I’m currently most days of the week so I’m looking for a new hobby to fill my time! Scheduling is very flexible for me n and i will always try my best to work with you! I have a safe and comfortable home, free of any dangers for a curious pet. I also have a fenced in dog park. So dogs in my neighborhood are well mannered.
About: Hi! I’m Laurel! I’m a 21 year old college student with a passion for animals. I have been building my business, Fingers and Paws Pet Care, since May of 2025! Since then I have served over 30 happy clients, many of whom schedule regular walks/visits! I am committed to providing pets with a safe and engaging environment, and pet parents with peace of mind! I have been an animal lover my whole life, and an involved pet owner since elementary school! I began pet sitting for neighbors and friends when I was in high school. I stayed in client’s homes while caring for their pets to avoid loneliness or a change in routine. This consisted of preparing meals, feeding, walking, giving potty breaks, playtime and other enrichment activities, as well as retrieving mail, watering plants, and ensuring the house maintains cleanliness. Oftentimes, clients would ask me to care for other animals in the home, such as geckos, turtles, and fish, which I am more than happy to do! I also offered drop in visits for neighbors’ pets in high school. This consisted of stopping by, preparing food, feeding, offering potty breaks, play time, walks, and litter changes if needed. Since starting Fingers and Paws, my pet care experience has increased exponentially. I have increased my range of services and now offer house sitting, boarding, drop in visits, walks, baths, and play sessions. Pet care is my full time job, though I am a college student! The majority of my classes are online so I can be as present as possible with your pets! I have one in person class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:00pm-2:15pm. Whether I’m hosting a pet or staying in their home, my routine depends on the pet’s routine! I discuss activity levels and a pet’s daily routine with owners before booking a visit. This includes feeding times, walk schedules, potty break schedules, treat schedules, and playtime schedules! Pets are sensitive to changes in their environment, so the goal is to match a pet’s routine as similarly as I can! I live in a condo on the ground floor, which means I have a backyard and can easily bring dogs outside for potty breaks or walks. The condo has three bedrooms so if I’m watching multiple pets, that gives them the opportunity for alone time if needed! I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and your pet will not go without attention or affection while they are with me!
“Calli is competent and caring, and gave us complete peace of mind that our house and dog were in good hands while we were away. She kept us informed and we returned to a happy dog after a long trip. Calli has our highest recommendation!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 573 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Polkton. 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 Polkton 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 Polkton 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 Polkton 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.
