“Whitney took amazing care of our two dogs while we were out of town! She treated them like they were her own and gave us so much peace of mind, especially with leaving our puppy for the first time! Will absolutely be rebooking Whitney for future stays!”
“Taylor was nothing short of INCREDIBLE! Finding someone you can truly trust with your fur babies is though, and Taylor made us feel so very at peace with her taking care of them! From many photos of them every time she visited, to constant comprehensive updates of how they were doing; we never once felt like we were out of the loop. Taylor followed all our directions and was incredibly responsive to all our messages and requests. This gave us so much peace of mind! She met us before our set up sitting request to meet everybody. She also came to watch after them when our travel plans got delayed. Taylor went above and beyond, and completely exceeded our expectations!!”
“Mae was absolutely incredible!! She went above and beyond our expectations to make sure our dogs were happy, cared for, and comfortable! She spent a great amount of time playing with our dogs and she also had excellent communication with sending us updates and pictures while we were away! Mae stayed in our home overnight for a couple nights to watch our dogs and she was extremely respectful of our home as well!! We have now found our go-to person with Mae and we (and our pups) 🐶 couldn’t be happier!”
“Tessah has watched our pup now several times and always does an amazing job. She always sends fun pictures of Champ having a good time. It’s so nice knowing our dog is being cared for so well while we are out of town.”
“I have nothing but amazing things to say about Mary! I have two dogs that require medications and someone to stay in home with them. Mary came over before my trip to meet them and make sure she knew everything that was required to take care of my girls! Throughout my time away, Mary was very communicative with pictures and was always giving me updates about how my dogs were doing. She was extremely sweet and loving toward my dogs and I would recommend her to anyone who is apprehensive about leaving their dogs.”
About: Dogs and cats have always been a part of my life. I have experience with washing, walking, feeding, potty breaks and overnight stays. Currently, my occupation is a dog groomer. Before this job I was a vet assistant at an Animal Hospital. I work part-time right now so I have plenty of time to watch after your pets. I’m available everyday including weekends. I have a flexible schedule. On days I have to work, I feed my dog and cat twice a day. My dog gets let outside before I go to work then when I get home. He gets baths on a regular basis.
“Kaitlyn was awesome caring for our two dogs while we were away on our first week long vacation! She kindly accepted our request on short notice when we were in a pinch. I am glad we found her and will definitely book with her again!”
“Miriam was an attentive overnight sitter for my two senior pups. Provided lots of pictures and videos and kept me up to date on their meals! Will book her again next out of town trip!”
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs from a very young age and have developed a strong understanding of their individual needs and personalities. During college, I spent summers working nights at an emergency veterinary clinic, where I gained valuable experience recognizing signs of illness, injury, and other concerns in both cats and dogs. As the proud owner of three cats, I treat every animal in my care with the same love and attention I give my own. I also have experience fostering animals with a wide range of needs, from tiny kittens requiring extra care to dogs with behavioral and temperament challenges. I currently work full-time from 9:00am - 5:30pm Monday through Friday. In my free time, I enjoy walking and spending times with my pets. I am also a volunteer Guardian ad-Litem for Cumberland County so will occasionally have meetings later in the day like 6:30/7:00pm. I have a fenced in yard and three dog friendly cats who love to snuggle. If one is provided, I am happy to crate your dog. My cats free roam, but I am able to keep them placed in a room if needed.
About: I have loved and cared for dogs and cats for most of my life. I was lucky enough to travel with my family, showing Standard and Giant Schnauzers expanding my knowledge and love for breeds of all sizes and personalities. Throughout my adulthood I have enjoyed caring for my friend’s pets while they were away. I just recently moved to Fayetteville and I miss having pets now and would like to be able to get some sloppy kisses, hugs and purrrrfect companionship and would love the opportunity to care for part of your family while you are away. Walks, playtime and snuggles are a daily routine. Special Skills I am well acquainted with taking care of puppies, and senior dogs with medical needs. I have trained dogs through obedience classes. I’m currently on Summer break and have full weeks of time off from June 1 through August 15th, 2026. The rest of the months I am free from Friday evenings through Sunday evening for home sitting. Holidays I am also free. I follow directions carefully and treat your pet and home as if they were mine. I am happy to text or send picture updates as requested.
“Five stars isn't enough! Tyreika stayed at our home and took absolutely wonderful care of our fur babies. She followed all care instructions perfectly, kept us updated with great communication, and left the house immaculate. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were safe, loved, and in such great hands. We will absolutely be booking her again!"”
“Sam took very excellent care of my 5 cats and dog while I had an emergency and needed her last minute. She was very flexible and accommodating. I got tons of updates which made me feel very assured my fur babies were in excellent care while I was at the hospital with my baby. It was also a holiday and she was available. She was upfront about her kiddos coming, which was no problem. I was amazed there was no mess or anything. She cleaned up all dishes, took trash out and watered my plants. I had a week long stay at the hospital, I even asked if she would change my sheets and she did this for me. I was so blessed to find her and will always use her if she is available if I need a pet sitter. She even left a little goodie bag with a neat ink pen and some bracelets my daughter will not take off and loves! I’ve had pet sitters before that would just lock the dog out of my room and not interact with Sadie but Sam sent lots of videos/pictures of all my animals. We are home now and Sadie is so happy, it great condition and sleeping so soundly cause they gave her lots of exercise. 10/10 will book Sam again.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love and understanding of animals. I have a Great Dane of my own, so I’m experienced with large breeds and know how to handle dogs of all sizes with confidence and care. I’m also planning to become a veterinarian, so I’m passionate about animal health, behavior, and giving pets the best care possible. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog needing extra patience and comfort, I treat every animal like my own — with love, attention, and respect. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life! I already spend time walking, feeding, and playing with my Great Dane, so caring for other pets fits easily into my routine. I love staying active and spending time with animals, whether that means morning walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. Since I’m passionate about becoming a veterinarian, I enjoy using every opportunity to learn more about different animals and their needs — so pet care isn’t just part of my routine, it’s something I truly look forward to every day. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, walks, and plenty of playtime or cuddles depending on their personality. I pay close attention to any instructions about feeding, medications, or habits, and I love giving photo updates so owners know their pets are happy and safe.
“We are so appreciative that Jazmine came to watch our fur babies over the Holiday week. She was very responsive, sent lots of pictures and even cleaned the house prior to our return. Thank you Jazmine, we appreciate you and look forward to seeing you again sometime soon 😊”

FAQs for House Sitting - Raeford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Raeford on Rover is $51.62 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 454 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Raeford. 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 Raeford 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 Raeford 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 Raeford 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.
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.
