“Courtney was fantastic! She took great care of my dog, Max, followed all his care instructions, and provided photos and updates regularly. She also left my apartment spotless and was an extremely respectful house guest.”
“Brittany was awesome for us and our two pups (one of whom is a bit slow to warm up to new people). Brittany was able to take care of our dogs exactly how they’re used to and was very communicative with us while we were away with messages and pictures! She even toughed out a big snowfall and made sure our pups were all set throughout it. Brittany treated our home with great respect and left things very neat, clean, and tidy. We will definitely be calling her when we need a sitter next!”
“Serena was so great with our dogs and cat! She sent lots of updates and photos which gave me peace of mind while traveling. She is very sweet and attentive with our pets. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Robyn did a great job while house sitting in our home with our precious dog and cat. Our cat doesn't usually like many people but she bonded really well with Robyn. She kept us updated with photos and when I messaged her to check on them, she responded right away. We kept in contact every day. The house was also left very neat and tidy. We will definitely use her again.”
“I loved Andrea dog sitting my sweet pup!! She took great care of her & never hesitated to ask any questions she had while she was staying with my dog. She sent tons of pictures & updates so I felt very confident while I was away! Dixie was well taken care of & seemed like she had a great time with Andrea!! I will definitely be reaching back out for any future needs :)”

“Hailey was an amazing sitter. The dogs loved her and she took great care of the house. She followed instructions and sent photos and videos throughout the days she was there. She was available for a short notice booking and made time to have a meet and greet.”
“We had a great experience with Elizabeth! She stayed at our home for a week with our dog and took amazing care of everything. Super knowledgeable, communicative, and kept our place very clean. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend!”

“Riley was amazing! She quickly got my anxious Collie calm. I had Riley house sit. All the critters were in great spirits, happy and content. House was neat and tidy. She communicated daily with pictures. I highly recommend her!”

About: Experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, I provide reliable, loving care, handle special needs, and keep pets comfortable while keeping owners updated and reassured. My contract job just ended so I have a lot of time available to care for your pups and kitties. I love getting out and walking. When I visit a clients home, I care for their pets like my own making sure they have a good walk if they're a dog freshwater and food and snuggles. With kitties I will happily utilize the enrichment toys you have.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them genuinely makes me happy. I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was young and currently have two dogs of my own, Sinclair my German Shepherd and Krypto my Lab, along with my two cats Marley and Ash. Because I have pets myself, I understand how important it is to find someone patient, trustworthy, and attentive to care for them while you’re away. I’m very comfortable with large breeds, high energy dogs, multi pet households, and giving pets the love and attention they need to feel safe and comfortable. My shift work schedule also gives me a flexible amount of free time, so I’m able to provide plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, check ins, and quality care for your pets. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because my shift work schedule gives me a flexible amount of free time throughout the week. I’m able to work around different schedules and can provide check ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and quality attention for your pets while you’re away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for is something I take seriously. I understand how important trust is when allowing someone into your home and around your pets. I’m very respectful of routines, house rules, feeding schedules, and any special instructions you provide because I know every pet has different needs and comfort levels. I have experience with both dogs and cats, including high energy dogs and multi pet households. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while also giving owners peace of mind while they’re away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pollocksville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 271 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pollocksville. 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 Pollocksville 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 Pollocksville 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 Pollocksville 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.
