Tara was an outstanding pet sitter for our Juniper. We actually booked her as a house sitter as well and she took care of our other animals and random things that came up. Very responsible and I could tell Juniper was being looked after and loved. Thank you so much. Would book her again anytime!

Hannah was absolutely incredible! She took amazing care of our kitties and went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. She sent us lots of pictures throughout the day, which we truly appreciated as self-proclaimed crazy cat parents! Knowing they were in such great hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We also had a last-minute schedule change and Hannah was incredibly accommodating and so kind throughout the process. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you so much, Hannah! 💖

About: I've had my own dogs and have taken care of other dogs for many years - puppies & dogs of all ages and personalities. I can take care of your dog for a short visit or an extended period. I'm retired and I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with your dog(s). If they are active, I can also run with them. I take dogs on lots of long walks, plus playtime and cuddling. I have plenty of room in a dog friendly house with covered furniture. I have a crate big enough for a 50 lb dog if your dog is used to a crate for naps, etc.

Zach was absolutely great. My family and I went to the Outer Banks this past week. I have 2 dogs, my sister has 2 dogs and my other sister has 1 dog. We all traveled together and rented a home in Duck. It was one of our best vacations, THANKS TO ZACH. He came 2 nights that week and set with all 5 dogs. He sent me pics of all them. I thought I would be very nervous leaving my 2, but I wasn’t at all. If anyone is visiting the Outer Banks and needs a dog sitter reach out to Zach he will take excellent care of your furbabies. Zach if your ever in Morgantown WV look me up. Thank you again Zach for taking such good care of my babies.

About: Hi, my name is Sarah -- I am 28 and grew up in Virginia with dogs and horses my whole life, and as such, have been sitting for friends' and family's animals (and kids!) since high school. Upon leaving Virginia, I missed having pets of my own, so always love the opportunity to take care of others' fur friends when they need. I work fully remotely, so while I cannot board at my place, I am easily able to stay at yours for in-house pet sitting, as well as come for as many drop-ins, or take your dog(s) out for as many walks as they want, throughout the day! I have experience watching all sizes of dogs, and up to as many as four (large!) dogs of all ages (plus some cats) at once, so I am likely to be comfortable with whatever combination you have in your home! I work fully remotely, so can pretty much make any pet care routine work into my schedule, dependent on your needs for your fur friends! I adapt to any set of needs or circumstances since each dog is different and has their own likes and dislikes, especially when it comes to their parents being away or interacting with new people.

About: Daytime and overnight sitting available. Dogs will not only be cared about but cared for. They will be walked and played with, fed and stayed with. I have wiener dogs who are very social so it includes a socializing experience. I am experienced with deaf/ blind doggos and doggos with insulin shots. I am comfortable helping those with medical needs and most doggo breeds . Only requirement is no aggression towards other animals. I enjoy playing and getting to know your dog, dogs have different personalities and different interests. If your dog is a couch potato we have Netflix, if your dog enjoys long walks on the beach we have a near by park that we walk to, and for those who are more timid and scared we have plenty of places to cover up and burrow in.

They need medications and have a very detailed routine and Jennifer did everything they needed with no issues or concerns. Thank you so much! She is our favorite sitter now! 🙏

If you're looking for someone to love, care for and spoil your pet, look no further. Cheri is amazing. She will be our first call anytime we plan our vacations. She is kind, keeps the house spotless (cleaner than when we left!), great communicator and spoiled our dog with lots of walks and playtime! I think he was sad to see her go. I cannot recommend her enough.

About: I have hands-on experience raising my own dog, Bentley, who is just over a year old. Taking care of him has taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand a dog’s needs at every stage. We spend a lot of time going on walks, playing ball, and playing tug-of-war, so I’m very comfortable keeping dogs active, engaged, and happy. What sets me apart is the genuine care I have for every animal I look after. I don’t just “watch” pets—I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive to routines, good at reading behavior, and I always take the time to build trust with each pet so they can relax and have fun. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own dog, Bentley. I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention. I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily include additional pets and give them the same level of care, time, and consistency. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, no matter where they are. In my home, I keep a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play and relax. I stick to their usual routine for feeding, walks, and sleep so they feel at ease, and I always supervise playtime. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep things consistent for their pet. I pay attention to behavior, make sure they’re secure at all times, and give them lots of love and attention. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: After spending years in hospitality, I’ve built my career around providing exceptional care, creating positive experiences, and paying attention to every detail. Those same skills are what I bring to every pet I care for. As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and a variety of other animals over the years. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My hospitality background means you can expect reliability, clear communication, and outstanding service from start to finish. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, follow your pet’s routine closely, and treat your home and your furry family members with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. When you book with me, you’re not just hiring someone to watch your pet—you’re choosing someone who genuinely enjoys caring for animals and is committed to giving you complete peace of mind. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet and know they were treated like family every step of the way. My pets keep me on a schedule at home and I’m happy to their schedules in your home. Routines are important to them which I will adhere to. I will abide by your schedule and direction when caring for your animals in your home. I know that being at their home is best for the animal.

About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and have always been an animal lover ever since I was a child! A fun little backstory about me...most teenagers get jobs to have money to go to the mall or whatever it is that they want to do, well my goal was to save up all the money I made and get my own puppy. That was one of the best things I ever did, I had her for 16 years. Other than having dogs all my life, I also have kennel technician and veterinary assistant experience. Before I moved back to North Carolina, I was working the front desk at a non profit animal hospital. I feel that I am a very genuine and good hearted person. I am willing to walk/jog/run/play fetch, honestly, I will do pretty much anything to make them happy while you’re away and would love to build a relationship with your fur baby!! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open every day!♥️. It’s just my 4 year old and I until about 4pm Monday-Friday, so as long as your fur baby is good with kids anytime from early morning until then works! After 4 I have open availability without him (incase your baby isn’t good with kids). My weekends are generally 100% open so I’d love to help in any way that I can! Hope to hear from you!! 🤗 I can care for your pet(s) in my home or yours. Whichever you prefer. I promise I will always make sure that they feel comfortable, loved, and happy.

About: I'm a remote voice actor with a flexible schedule, so your pets get lots of companionship—not just quick drop-ins. As a longtime homeowner and property manager, I also understand the importance of keeping your home clean, secure, and well cared for. I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages, including energetic breeds, senior pets, multi-pet households, and pets with unique routines. I'm comfortable with crate training, positive reinforcement, basic medications, and dogs that need a little extra patience on walks. Whether it's a long hike, a game of fetch, or a quiet afternoon with a cuddly cat, I adapt to each pet's personality and routine. Clear communication is important to me, so you'll receive regular updates and photos while you're away, giving you peace of mind that your pets and home are in great hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work remotely as a voice actor, so I have the flexibility to schedule walks, feeding, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day rather than trying to fit them around a traditional office schedule. I genuinely enjoy being active, so daily walks, hikes, and outdoor time are something I look forward to. When I'm home, I like providing a calm, consistent environment where pets can stick to their normal routines and get plenty of attention and companionship. Whether it's a quick neighborhood walk, a game of fetch, or simply keeping a cat company while I work, I enjoy making pets feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client's home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medications (if needed), and any training or household guidelines you provide. I believe pets are happiest when their daily routine stays consistent. Since I work remotely, I'm home much of the day, giving pets plenty of companionship and reducing the amount of time they're left alone. Whether it's long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply keeping a cat company while I work, I adjust my care to each pet's personality and needs. I also treat every home with the same respect I would my own—keeping it clean, secure, and well cared for. You'll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pets and home are in good hands.

About: I have been surrounded by all sorts of pets since childhood - from dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, and fish! There isn’t an animal that I don’t love. I am a pet parent myself to 3 incredible dogs, including a pit bull, Saint Bernard, and a German Wirehaired Pointer. I have experience with specific breeds of dogs who have very specific needs and love to participate in their training! Pets are family to me and I would love to make sure your family is well taken care of, always! I am currently transitioning from full time to part time work so I will have even more time to play and care for your pets! I work 9 am until 5:30 pm on the days that I do work so I am able to maintain a routine schedule for your animals if that is what they need! I have experience caring for multiple dogs at a time, especially dealing with different personalities, training needs, play styles, and temperaments. I am able to gauge any situation to ensure safety is the top priority.

Leslie was great. She was a great communicator and sent lots of pictures. One of our dogs can be picky about people and they bonded so much he curled up on the bed with her! She was very attentive, took them for walks and lots of snuggles. I highly recommend Leslie and will definitely use her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Powells Point

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Powells Point on Rover is $77.7 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 67 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Powells Point. 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 Powells Point 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 Powells Point 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 Powells Point 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
