“This was the first time we had used Rover, and let me tell you, it exceeded our expectations! At first, I was nervous to have someone new take care of our animals and stay I. Our home, but I no longer have those feelings. Tasha is the absolute best! On our vacation, she checked in with us daily, sent photos and updates. My husband and I were able to relax on our vacation because we knew our animals were in such good hands. Additionally, we came home to a clean home that was all vacuumed and tidy! We could not have been more impressed with Tasha! Highly recommend, 100 out of 5 stars!!”
“Emma is a great dog sitter. She was punctual, kept me well informed throughout, and regularly sent pictures and updates, which gave me real peace of mind. She also left the house clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Malissa was a good communicator and sent us pictures of our dog each day, which we so appreciated. Thank you Malissa for taking such good care of Ollie and our house. We will see you again in May!”
“Alyssa took great care of our two poodles and chickens and was an excellent communicator. We were able to enjoy our vacation worry-free and came home to two very happy dogs, happy chickens and a house that was just as we left it.”
“Alex took great care of Myra and Clifford this past weekend! They kept us updated with regular check-ins, sent lots of photos, and followed all of our care instructions. I was especially nervous because Clifford can be reactive around other dogs, but Alex handled everything so well and gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear our pups were in great hands, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Lucinda is a trusted house sitter and did a great job of looking after my 15 year old dog. And kept my home spotless. I already have her booked for a third dog sitting opportunity. Highly recommend Lucinda.”
“Our dogs really love Jami. She helped ease my mind being away from our home and pets for a 10 day vacation. Very reliable, responsive when I text. Stayed late on the day of our arrival back since our flight didn’t get in until midnight. Highly recommend her.”
“Such a nurturing dog-lover. Veronica was fabulous with my rambunctious pittie mix and my very shy JRT/Chihuahua mix. They both adored her (which was evidenced by the little one letting her take him for a walk!). Thank you so much, Veronica.”
“Lily did a brief House/Cat Sit for us to introduce her services. She went over our instructions list thoroughly, to understand our Cat's routine and personality; wasn't overbearing in her approach and made small attempts to engage. She was respectful of our home, is intelligent and is easy to communicate with.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Raleigh Hills
Jessica was wonderful with our dogs and took excellent care of them for a long weekend. She managed amazingly well with our 15-yr-old high needs dog and ensured she took her pills and ate her food, which is no small feat. She left the house clean and tidy, and the dogs seemed happy and relaxed.
Erika took amazing care of our two high energy/high anxiety GSPs! She gave detailed updates each day and took great care of the house as well, leaving everything spotless for our return. She was even able to stay later than expected when our flight was delayed. We will absolutely be reaching out to her again to care for our pups in the future!
Elizabeth and Michael were amazing! They took great care of our pets and home while house-sitting for us! Our dog struggles with walking with strangers but they were patient with her and able to work up to some good walks with her! Frequent pictures and updates helped us know we were in good hands. Will definitely book again!
Margaux was amazing, my request was a tad last minute and she communicated her schedule clearly which I so appreciated. My two dogs absolutely loved her, even my rescue pup who doesn't trust humans easily. I felt super comfortable leaving them in her capable hands. I really appreciate her care for both my dogs and house. I will absolutely book her next time I have to go out of town and I would definitely recommend Margaux to others.
Jami was great with my dogs. She took away the anxiety I had over leaving my dogs for a week. I received frequent check-ins to let me know the dogs were doing well and she left my house clean and tidy. One of my dogs recently had spine surgery and has a long list of restrictions and instructions. jami did a great job with him, following the instructions and making sure he was well cared for. My other dog also requires some special attention and she handled them both so well. I'll definitely be using her again when I travel.
Rachael was great! At our meet & greet, she was gentle and sweet with our very frail elderly kitties, and we felt they would be in good hands. She was comfortable dealing with our very detailed med and feeding instructions, which can all be overwhelming for some sitters. She left the house clean and was low-maintenance as a sitter, and we greatly appreciated her helping us out in a pinch--we had to book at the last minute and had a lot of uncertainty about our dates, but Rachael just rolled with it all! When we got home, the kitties seemed content and cared for. We will be happy to have Rachael back!
Chelsee is amazing! Her love for animals is clear from the moment you meet her. We have a dog that is anxious when she meets people, and Chelsee was patient and calm and put her at ease. She earned her trust quickly. She took great care of our dog and we look forward to having her spend more time with her again. Thank you so much Chelsee!!
Bryanna was absolutely wonderful with our fur babies! We got updates regularly and lots of photos. We really appreciated that she asked questions when needed instead of assuming or winging it, and she really put the needs of our pets first. We feel confident leaving the fur babies in her hands and we will be rebooking with her very soon!

FAQs for House Sitting - Raleigh Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Raleigh Hills on Rover is $49.95 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 4,529 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Raleigh Hills. 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 Raleigh Hills 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 Raleigh Hills 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 Raleigh Hills 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
