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.
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.
“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!!”
“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!”
“Kimberly was very attentive and professional. She replied to messages almost immediately and provided updated information and photos about the pets. It definitely made me feel more at ease during my trip. I would definitely be booking her services in the future.”
“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!"”
“Bethany was reliable and punctual. She sent pictures and videos that made me feel confident that my dogs were happy and well cared for during my trip. I will definitely ask her to care for my dogs in the future.”
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.
“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 😊”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and I treated all of them like they were my kids. I have also watched my neighbors pets and treated them as family aswell I currently do not work anywhere else, so my schedule is wide open. Except for Friday and weekends. Being present will not be an issue. I love to walk and get out of the house, so why not take ur fur baby with me. I am also very cautious about other pets or people being around your pet
“Sarah was fantastic! She sent daily photos of Arlo, including him snuggled up with her on the couch. She is always quick to respond, easy to communicate with, punctual, and left my home cleaner than when she arrived. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Sarah was wonderful. We were gone for 4 days total and she stayed at our home with our 2 dogs. Sarah sent multiple photos and videos each day and combination leading up to the weekend was great. Definitely plan to have her watch our sweet dogs again! We were so very appreciative of her!”
“Marissa did a fantastic job caring for our dogs. She was timely, always sent pictures, and the dogs were happy and healthy when we got back. Communicate was excellent, I cannot recommend her enough!”
About: As a proud four-legged mom, I take pet care very seriously and treat every dog like my own. I’m available every day as a stay-at-home mom, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I have two sweet, well-trained dogs of my own, Jadore and Jiovanni, who are the friendliest pups you’ll ever meet. I even have special days where I cook dog-friendly meals—because making pets feel loved and cared for is so important to me. When I look after your pets, they’ll be treated like family with lots of love, attention, and care. Pet care fits into my daily routine very naturally because it’s something I’m already doing every single day. As a stay-at-home mom and dog mom, I structure my day around making sure my two dogs, Jadore and Jiovanni, are happy, healthy, and cared for. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, training, and lots of love and attention. Because I’m home full-time, I have the flexibility to schedule drop-in visits and walks throughout the day without it ever feeling rushed. Caring for pets is more than just a task for me—it’s a part of my lifestyle. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks to get their energy out, making sure they’re fed on time, or just sitting with them for comfort and companionship. Every pet I look after gets the same care and attention I give my own, so it fits seamlessly into my weekly routine. To me, it’s not an “extra” responsibility—it’s something I love to do and look forward to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. I know how important consistency is, so I make sure they’re fed at their usual times, get fresh water, and have plenty of time for play, walks, and bathroom breaks. I love giving them attention, whether that’s cuddle time, playing with toys, or just sitting nearby so they feel comfortable and not alone. I also take care to follow any special instructions you provide—whether it’s medications, feeding preferences, or certain routines that make your pet feel more secure. I pay attention to their behavior and body language to make sure they’re happy and stress-free while you’re away. For me, caring for pets isn’t just about the basics—it’s about making sure they feel loved and safe until you’re back home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rockfish
Jennifer was awesome! She stayed with our dogs for a week. All of our girls loved her. I was not worried because I saw how she interacted with our girls. She sent pictures and updates daily. We have 4 shiT his and they can get very anxious without their people. Our girls were glad to see us but they weren’t stressed and anxious! I’m glad we found Jennifer!
Kaitlyn did an excellent job caring for my two pups. I have a german shepherd with separation anxiety issues and a 14 year old yorkie mix. I can tell she gave them tons of love and attention. Got tons of photo updates too. Came home to a spotless house and two happy dogs. Wouldn’t hesitate to use her again!
Chloe was absolutely wonderful! My two German Shepherds can get pretty anxious when I’m away, to the point where they sometimes won’t even eat. She was incredibly communicative and attentive the entire time, sending plenty of updates and photos so I always knew how they were doing. I was honestly so relieved (and impressed) that she got them to eat while I was gone. That alone speaks volumes. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!
Sarah was great to work with. She is very responsible and responsive. She took care of my 3 cats and house over christmas and did a fantastic job. She followed my instructions, kept me updated with pictures, and cleaned before she left. My cats seemed well cared for and calm upon my return and my house looked great. We will definitely be hiring her again!
Brooke is absolutely fantastic. I have a dog with a lot of anxiety who is terrified of people, and she somehow won him over in MINUTES! She is calm, gentle, and has such a loving nature with all 4 of my fur babies, and they miss her when she leaves!! She’s wonderful and the absolute BEST.
Lauren worked magic with my shy senior cat, who hides from EVERYONE. But Lauren won her over right away with patience and empathy, and I was delighted to get updates showing my kitty cuddling, playing and feeling safe and loved during my absence. Lauren left my house perfectly clean took great care of my cat. I'm glad I found her and would hire her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rockfish
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rockfish on Rover is $33.3 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 Rockfish. 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 Rockfish 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 Rockfish 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 Rockfish 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
