“Beth did a great job with our pets! Our home lock gave her some obstacles and she did a great job figuring it out so our pets could have relief. We appreciated having photos everyday and she did a great job throughout the stay!”
“Kiley is our go to dog sitter! She is always so wonderful with our golden doodle! She is very flexible and truly cares. She goes above and beyond while pet sitting and is super easy to work with. She sends lots of pictures and is always providing updates while we are away! I cannot recommend Kiley enough!”
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.
“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: Lifelong dog owner with a calm, natural, genuine, loving connection to dogs of all sizes and personalities. Experienced with senior care, grooming, walking, and socialization. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available for walks in the mornings and evenings, with flexible weekend availability to accommodate your pet’s schedule and needs. I have a fenced yard and a dog-friendly home with a calm, docile older dog. I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of attention, supervision, exercise, and affection.
About: I've had my own pets since I was 9, but I've professionally worked with dogs and cats for 4 years. I can't wait to meet your fluffy friend! This is currently my main job so I'm always open and looking forward to new bookings with you! This is honestly my one of my dream jobs, next on my list is becoming a vet! So best believe your baby will have so fun and care when with me! In my home we have a fenced in yard where my two dogs can get all their energy out, I love when pets cuddle and don't mind them jumping if allowed they'll definitely get treats.
About: I previously worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I fed and watered dogs, managed medication, and gave lots of love! Giving oral or topical medication is no stranger and certainly not a problem for me. I am currently a part-time waitress working around 3 days a week. I have lots of time for the dogs, and I miss spending time with them! In a client's home, it would be ideal for them to tell me everything in need to know about their pup, such as medication time (if needed), feeding schedule, likes and dislikes, and personal quirks. At my home, my yard is not fenced in, however, it is 1 acre of land in the back of a neighborhood far from any main roads. Your pup with also be with my dog Manny. He is a black lab, German longhaired pointer mix. He is well tempered and plays well with all other dogs.
About: I have watched many different breeds of dogs since I was 16. Small dogs, big dogs, puppies, seniors. I am now 19 and my love for dogs only grows more and more every time I meet a new one! I also have experience with cats, and love them just as much as dogs. :) I currently pet sit full time, so my days consist of giving my 100% to your pets. I am not currently doing Boardings until the nearer future, but I am still doing, and enjoying doing, Sittings, Drop Ins, Overnight Stays, and Walks! I treat every pet like it is my own and am open to taking care of your pet in any way that it may need. Whether that be with lots of walks, giving medicine, groomings, or baths, I want your pet to feel at home when I am with them. :)
About: i’ve always had a passion for animals. i try to make sure all animals are happy and loved by me especially when taking care of them. i never want an animal to feel sad or alone and it pains me to see all these stray cats and dogs around knowing that i can’t take them all in. I recently graduated from Coastal Carolina from the veterinary assistant program, i plan on fulfilling my dreams on becoming a veterinarian and hopefully one day i can save the lives of animals. I will give them lots of attention, i will try to play with the pets. i will give them lots of cuddles and affection and overall make sure they know they are loved.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 277 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.
<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 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 , 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.
