“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was incredibly attentive to my dog, and even the people at our dog park went out of their way to tell me how nice she was. It was clear my dog was in great hands, and I came home to a happy, healthy dog and my home looking exactly as I’d left it. Having that kind of peace of mind while away is invaluable, and I would absolutely trust her to watch him again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and respectful caregiver!”
About: I treat every pet as if they’re my own—with love, patience, and genuine care. What truly sets me apart is my reliability and responsibility. You can count on me to show up on time, follow your instructions carefully, and keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m incredibly loving and attentive, always making sure your pets feel secure while you’re away. I also believe communication is key—I’ll keep you updated with detailed messages, photos, and check-ins so you never have to wonder how things are going. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I meet them with calm, compassionate care tailored to their needs. My husband and I are both retired and just moved back to Leland, NC. We both have completely open availability to accommodate any needs or schedule. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your pup company. My schnauzer especially loves to play and is always excited to make a new friend! My husband is also at home—he’s a true animal lover (and a bit of a dog whisperer). Our pups are our kids, and we treat all animals like family. They’re welcome on the furniture, in the bed, and anywhere else that makes them feel safe, loved, and comfortable.
About: Lifelong animal lover, happy to take care of your fur babies. Pets are family, i know how hard it is to leave your pets with just anyone. My goal is to make you feel at peace knowing your babies are taken care of properly and loved the way they should be. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pup needs a good walk, lots of playtime, some extra cuddles, or your kitty just needs someone to keep them company, I’m here for it! I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re being loved on. I work 6-hour shifts, 5 days a week, so I have flexibility before and after work as well as on my days off. I am off my actual job Sundays/ Mondays. Tuesdays I work 10-4. Wednesdays/ Thursdays I work 8-2. Fridays I work 2-8. My Saturday schedule varies! I’m also a mom, so my daughter may occasionally be with me for walks or drop in visits. I’m happy to work with each pet parent to find a schedule that works well for everyone! Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, love, playtime, and care based on their individual routine. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, and anything else they need to feel comfortable. In your home, I’ll respect your space and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. In my home, I’ll provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can relax and feel at home.
“Lexi was great!! She was very communicable with everything they did throughout the day and sent lots of pictures. She offered to take him to her house to play with her dogs and he had a blast, definitely made it easier to leave him knowing he was having so much fun. Would recommend!!”
“Katie took care of our 4 dogs while we were in Europe for 10 days. She did a spectacular job of updating me (nervous dog mom) while caring for our pups. We have two older dogs that take medication several times a day and one that wears a diaper at night. She handled it all with stride and we came home to a clean house and happy dogs. I highly recommend her!”
“I could not recommend Kelsey enough! She took great care of my senior dog in my home for a weekend. She was very communicative and sent me pictures throughout her stay. I will definitely have her watch my dog again!”
About: I have had pets my whole life, dogs, cats, even rabbits. In the past I volunteered at a dog rescue just to help out and be around dogs until I was ready to get one of my own.i have done short term fosters and am comfortable giving medications and shots if needed. I have a very flexible work schedule and generally make my own schedule most days of the week so I can likely accommodate you and your pets needs. I have a dog of my own that loves other dogs. I have a medium sized crate if you prefer to crate them, otherwise they will have free reign of my apartment, or your place.
About: Honestly I just love all pets and would love to meet yours. I have about 1 year experience and fairly new to the area but I'm always up for a challenge. Currently working full time overnight at a hotel, I don't mind taking your pets out for walks during the day or even on weekends. When at a client's home I will follow all the guidelines laid out for me, and if need be I can also take some preventative actions to keep your pets safe.
About: I’ve grown up with 2 large dogs my entire life and have always dog sat for my neighbors. I’m young, active and would love to make your pets happy and feel safe. I’m a part time nanny so I have lots of extra time at night or on days off! Feel free to message me for my availability! I know how to properly handle large dogs, dogs that may bite or jump as well as smaller dogs that sleep in crates. I like to let dogs out on a leash to ensure their safety as well as those around.
“It was actually Abby, Andrea’s daughter who took care of our little guy and house sat. Abby did a great job, was very responsive before the scheduled date and while we were on vacation she communicated with me daily to let me know how Mr was doing, and included pictures. The house was clean when we returned and Mr seemed healthy and happy. Abby also watered our outdoor plants while we were gone. I would definitely recommend Abby to anyone needing her services.”
About: Hi, my names Imani and anyone who knows me will say I love animals!! I’ve grown up with animals since I could remember! I currently don’t have animals of my own so i get my fix by caring for others !! I can’t wait to love on some of your furry kids! I do have a full-time job but im off on the weekends and evenings are free, which makes it perfect for overnights or weekend drop ins! I care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, making sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and the BEST care while you’re away. I’m happy to keep their normal routines, provide outside play and walks when needed, give lots of cuddles and attention, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are being cared for just like family!
“Ross was fantastic. He asked very thorough questions about care for our dog, and how to be a good guest in our home. He stayed in regular touch with updates and photos, and We returned to a clean house and a very happy pup! Highly recommend him for walks, boarding or housesitting”
“She was very great and sent me pictures every single day that I was out of town. Followed instructions well and loved my dog like her own. I'm definitely coming back and hiring Brittany again!”
About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and have always had a strong love and respect for them. With years of personal experience caring for pets, I provide safe, reliable, and compassionate animal sitting. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I do currently work full time M-F but I am able to stay overnight as well as provide ample time with your babies in the afternoons when I get off. Ideally I would be a perfect fit for someone who needs care in the evenings and weekends! I provide a safe and welcoming environment in my home where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I make sure they are always supervised, have a clean space, fresh water, regular feeding, and plenty of love and attention. Their safety and well-being are my top priority, and I do everything possible to make them feel at home. I have a very pet friendly neighborhood community with lots of open space for animals to get exercise and fresh air.
About: I have had my fur baby now for 8 months. He’s still a puppy and lots of fun! I have fostered a few pups this year and enjoy spending time with dogs. I work from home during the week and I have time to give your furbaby non stop attention. My building has its own gated dog park and a park for lots of exercise during the day. I enjoy grooming at home, playing with toys and training with delicious treats. I would treat your fur baby just like my own lil guy (Tino)
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. While I don't currently have pets at my apartment where I'll be pet sitting, my family has five dogs, so I'm very familiar with caring for multiple dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I volunteered with a local animal rescue throughout all four years of high school, where I cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments by walking, feeding, socializing, and helping them feel safe and comfortable while they waited to find their forever homes. During that time, I also served as a foster, providing temporary homes for rescue dogs and helping them adjust to a loving environment. These experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and how to build trust with animals. In college, I served as the Treasurer for UNCW's Service Dog Training and Education Program (STEP) for two years. While I'm not a professional dog trainer, my involvement with the organization gave me valuable experience working alongside service dogs and handlers. I'm happy to reinforce basic training, good manners, and routines while your pet is in my care. One thing that sets me apart is that I work from home, which means your pet will receive plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. They'll rarely be left alone, and I'll be able to stick closely to their normal routine, whether that means regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company. I understand that every pet is unique, and my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away. I'll care for your pet as if they were one of my own and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy complete peace of mind. Because I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervised care throughout the day. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods, and I can easily accommodate their normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and at ease. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide morning, afternoon, and evening care. Whether your pet needs an active day filled with walks and play or simply a calm, cozy environment with lots of love and attention, I'm happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide care that's as close to home as possible. Because I work from home, I'll be with your pet for most of the day to provide supervision, companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment where your pet will have a safe, calm environment to relax and feel at home. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, and I'll treat your pet with the same love and attention I'd give my own.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rabontown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 786 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rabontown. 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 Rabontown 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 Rabontown 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 Rabontown 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
