Beth was amazing! She watched our two labs for an extended long weekend. It was our first time using Rover and now we will never go back to anything else. It set our mind at ease to know our pets were being loved in their own home. Beth was on time, she cleaned up when she didn’t have to and most importantly she handled a dog medical situation that was unexpected with a prompt call to us and constant back and forth on what was going on. She provides pictures and can be as communicative as you want. Will stick with her going forward!!

Kiley was nothing short of wonderful! Her communication was great. We got lots of updates and pictures of the pets while we were gone. She went above and beyond at our house and left it cleaner than it was when we left. I would book her again in a heartbeat.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs in my life. I worked as a vet assistant and I’m now working towards a certification of vet assistant. I have one cat and one lizard. I had 12 dogs before and took care of them all. Ranged from chihuahuas to pit bulls. I’m currently working in the military. And I live animals very very much. I have a cat named Gray and a bearded dragon named Shmoop. I would have to go to clients house to care for the animals, as I live in apartments at the moment. I would need to know how owner does certain things for the animals.

I’ll keep you updated and send pictures of your furry babies. From dog sitting to dog walking I’ll treat your furry baby like they were my own with quality time and give them all the snuggles and treats. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I currently work at a daycare from 7-4 Monday- Friday. I’m available after 5pm for dog walking and anytime during the week for dog sitting in your home.

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 5 years and have about 6 years of experience caring for pets of friends and family, including walking, pet sitting and overnight stays. I have two rescue dogs of my own, so I have lots of experience with shy, anxious and socially nervous pups who may need a little extra patience and reassurance to feel comfortable. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from small puppies to larger breeds and have experience with different personalities and energy levels, including reactive and high-energy dogs. I’m also comfortable following special diets, giving medications and caring for dogs with allergies and other needs. I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality. Whether they’re playful and energetic or happiest cuddled up on the couch, I’m patient, attentive and happy to meet them where they are. My current schedule is very flexible, so I have broad availability for weekday, weekend and overnight care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and can accommodate multiple walks or potty breaks, regular feeding schedules and plenty of playtime and attention throughout the day. I’m also open to longer stays when my schedule allows. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I know from having two shy rescue dogs of my own that every animal has different boundaries, routines and ways of feeling safe, so I take the time to let pets get comfortable with me at their own pace. I’m attentive to instructions and happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication and bedtime routines as closely as possible. I also understand how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and will always treat your space with care and respect. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates and plenty of photos while you’re away! I’m also happy to help with small household needs like bringing in mail or packages and caring for plants during overnight stays.

About: I am know to be loved by pets of all sizes I am capable of running and playing with animals for hours, If a dog is more relaxed I am 100% capable to sit down and enjoy an animal’s company. I can handle bigger dogs allowing them to have fun all they want without restricting them. I own a senior dog so I know about the care and patience it takes to provide them with comfortable care. I do work normal 9-5 Monday-Friday with my primary job but i am more than capable of taking care of animals immediately after and all day on the weekends. Friday afternoon to Sunday night I am available to do overnight dog sitting. I love animals and safety is my priority, I see the pets I care for as my own and will treat them with the highest respect. I can handle high energy dogs and bigger dogs as an athletic man but I also offer stress free care for those that need their personal space and someone to give them company.

Sarah was fantastic in every way. She came out pre booking to meet us and our two dogs, and after booking, easily accommodated our small schedule change, an additional day added. She has a lovely personality and a keen wit, and she lovingly cared for our two dogs and our home going above and beyond with daily check-ins and photos. We would definitely ask Sarah to sit for us again. We highly recommend Sarah and are grateful to have met her.

About: I have a very well happily trained service animal that helps other animals and people keeping everyone happy. My goal is to always keep the animal happy while being trained. Every walk is to bring happiness to the animal. Every drop in visit is to bring an animal a peace of mind an happiness. My hope is to always bring the owner a peace of mind along with the animal an a genuine happiness at the end of the day so that every animal and owner can feel at peace. Overnight stays I hope to just give peace at mind to Owners and animals, if there are every any concerns I will always send photos of the animals doing daily things at their usual times. I am currently in school for my bachelors and work a full time job. However, I always make time to take my pups on close to a mile walk a day. Along with 30 min of training on necessary manners and any tricks we are working on at the time. They get fed 2 times a day with appropriate vitamins and supplements for each of my animals! I always check with owners about any toys that they have along with any children toys in the home that I need to be aware of or smaller items they could choke on or get into.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pollocksville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pollocksville. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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.
