“Highly recommend! They were fantastic with my dogs and incredibly punctual. I really appreciated the consistent updates and photos they sent, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away.”
“Starfire was amazing with our three dogs. Each has their little quirks but she handled them flawlessly. Our golden retriever pup (10 months old) is in her dinosaur stage but Starfire was able to contain her ? Definitely will book again. Thank you so much for taking great care of Groot, Spam & Ozrah.”
“Kylie was awesome! Very communicative and punctual. She took great care of our pup and made sure she recieved the attention she needed. If she's available, you should book with her ASAP!”
“Deborah is fantastic! She is very communicative, trustworthy, loves our fur babies as if they were her own, and genuinely cares for our home. We appreciate Deborah taking care of our two boys and will be repeat customers!!”
“Stacey was absolutely amazing with our two boys. She took them for walks and loved on them while we weren’t able to. She was very communicative and sent us pictures and videos of how happy the boys were. When we came home, she had left the house cleaner than when she arrived. I cannot give her enough stars!”
“Grace did a fantastic and professional job house and dog sitting for us. She was able to help us with a last minute request and did so well with our dog. She had awesome communication with details and pictures. She was also extremely prompt with responses and kept beautiful care of the home. We initially thought our dog would be okay left alone, but when those needs changed Grace didn’t mind a bit. We will absolutely be using her again in the future and cannot recommend her enough.”
About: I have always been around animals whether they were my own or someone else’s. I have also shadowed at vet clinics and done kenneling briefly at a clinic. I love spending time with pets and taking care of them. I am a college student who is currently studying biology, I then plan to go to vet school. So over the summer and holiday breaks I have plenty of time to care for pets. If they are on a feeding schedule I follow that schedule. I’m also very active myself and love being out side. If it’s nice out I’ll take your animal out to play and walk.
“I was grateful Shannon stepped in last minute to watch our Tess while we went away for a week. She kept in touch regularly to let me know how it was going. I took comfort knowing she was well cared for. I will absolutely be asking her to help out with her again in the future!”
“Xavier has watched my pet Mojo twice now and I could not be happier with the experience. From our very first meeting, his professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals were incredibly clear. I highly recommend Xavier because of his fantastic communication. Xavier sent daily photo updates and quick text check-ins, keeping me completely stress-free while I was away. He followed all of Mojo’s dietary and relief routine with no issues. My home was left completely spotless, organized, and secure. Mojo is a naturally anxious pet due to his separation anxiety but warmed up to him almost instantly, which speaks volumes about his gentle demeanor.”
About: Ever since I was a child, I have been taking care of animals in some capacity. From my time working in shelters across the state all the way to behavioral training, I have seen it all! I have 2 cats currently and a chocolate lab, but have owned cats and dogs throughout my life without pause. I would love to meet your fur babies too! I currently own my own business outside of pet care, which means I am free and available at any time to care for your fur babies! My schedule is completely open, and I am flexible to changes. Trust is vital when leaving your pets in the care of someone else. For me, it is simple: care for them as you’d want someone to care for your fur babies. During my time with your pets, my attention is undivided and attention to detail is thorough. Sure, it’s easy for those in a rush to forget a step or two. With me however, everything is completed to your standards and ONLY your standards!
“I'm so glad that Majdoline was able to watch my dog and house-sit over the weekend. She was very quick to respond to any messages and gave several updates throughout the day with a ton of pictures, I never had to worry about a thing. She spent lots of time both giving my dog attention and letting her run around and play in the yard. She left everything in the house very neat and clean as well. I would absolutely ask her to pet-sit for me again!”
“Tia was great! Highly recommend. She was super thoughtful with my (anxious) dog and it was wonderful to be able to relax while traveling and know my pup was in safe hands. Will definitely book her again!”
“Morgan was great with my fur babies. I received so many pictures and videos and felt connected to them even while I was miles away! I will definitely be asking Morgan to watch over my babies again and would highly recommend Morgan to anyone!”
“Alexa stayed with our 2 pups for an overnight, and she was fantastic! She was in regular communication with me, providing updates and photos. She came to meet the dogs beforehand, and they immediately took to her. I could quickly tell that she was comfortable with training and dog behavior. We’ll certainly be calling on Alexa again!”
“Emerald helped us out in a big way when another pet sitter we had needed to drop because of a family emergency two days before our trip. We were able to get ahold of Emerald and get everything squared away to pet site for us the day before we left. She took amazing care of our pets and house.”
“This is the 3rd or 4th time we have booked Vanessa! She’s amazing! She stays at our house for us. She watches our dogs and cat and she loves them like her own. I’m glad that when my wife and I go out of town we can leave without having to worry about our animals while we are gone. She’s an amazing sitter for our animals! She’s extremely attentive and very friendly! We will definitely continue booking Vanessa every time we go out of town!! It’s always a struggle to find someone who will take care of your animals the way you do, but for us, Vanessa is that person!!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Popes Creek
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 6,388 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Popes Creek. 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 Popes Creek 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 Popes Creek 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 Popes Creek 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.

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.
