“She kept on top of my dogs’ changing needs and kept me in the loop so the week away didn’t feel quite as worrying! And we returned to the house even more tidy than we left it, which was a lovely surprise!”
“I can’t recommend Valerie enough! She watched my dog, for 3 days and did an amazing job. Hope can be a little particular with her routine and has some hip issues, but Valerie was so caring and attentive — she followed all my instructions perfectly and made sure Hope was comfortable, happy, and well-loved the whole time. Valerie kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Hope felt safe and cared for, and I really appreciate how responsible and thoughtful Valerie was with every detail, from playtime to feeding to making sure Hope didn’t overdo it on the stairs. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Valerie again — she’s trustworthy, kind, and truly treats your pet like her own. Thank you so much, Valerie, for taking such wonderful care of Hope!”
“Sharon was great with our harley she helped out with walking her and getting her use to going out at night again. Sharon kept us informed of everything that was going on with harley and how she was doing and sent us pics. We will definitely use her again.”
“Candace has been absolutely amazing with our dogs! We traveled from PA to the lake in VA for our daughter’s college graduation, and Candace from Rocky Mount met us there beforehand. Our dogs loved her right away and felt comfortable with her before we even left. The day before graduation, we had to head to NC, and Candace stayed with them—spending the whole day, overnight, and into the next day until we returned. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. I could tell they were relaxed and content when we got back. I highly recommend Candace to anyone looking for a reliable, loving dog sitter!”
“Gracie was fantastic with my 4 dogs. She really got to know each one’s personalities and quirks to make sure they were happy. She communicated well too. We will definitely have her sit again!”
“Selena took care of our pup on short notice and did a great job! She made us feel super comfortable by meeting us/our dog a few times before we left for our trip. She sent photos every day and our usually shy pup warmed up pretty quickly!”
“Peyton was a wonderful house/dog sitter. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and kept me informed daily of what was going on, as well as sending pictures and videos of my dog. She left the house pristine, emptied the trash, washed the sheets and towels, collected my mail, etc. I was very relaxed on my trip knowing that she was handling things well at home. I couldn’t be more pleased, and I would not hesitate to hire her again.”
“Taylor was great! My cat, Stanley, really seemed to connect with her and was his normal, happy self when I got home from a week-long vacation. Normally, he gets depressed and won’t eat while I’m gone but that wasn’t the case this time, it’s obvious Taylor gave him the TLC he needed while I was away since he is such a social and playful cat. I received daily updates and photos while I was away, and Taylor also left my apartment in great condition. I’ve already re-booked Taylor for another stay for an upcoming trip out of town and am so grateful to have found a sitter that my cat genuinely seems to enjoy! Definitely recommend!”
“Amber has watched our 11 year old AussieDoodle several times, and we added a Cocker Spaniel puppy to the mix. We are always updated during the sit time with added photos, and we come back to happy pets. Definitely recommend her. She is Responsible. Responsive. Respectful. Reliable. Reputable.”
“Lexi was great! She stayed at my house with my pups and gave them all kinds of snuggles and love and sent me pictures and messages as updates. She left the house as she found it. I’d definitely recommend Lexi to take care of your pets!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years and have a lifelong love for animals. As a dog owner myself with two dogs at home, I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your pets the same way you do. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, potty breaks, exercise, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I also know how reassuring it is to receive updates, so I’ll send photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay or visit to give you peace of mind. My goal is to create a fun, safe, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I treat every animal as if they were my own, and I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I currently do work full time but I do create my own schedule and am pretty flexible so we can work around the hours needed for you and your pet! I do currently have two male dogs who are 8 and 9 years old. They both are very friendly and very playful. They play with puppies and older dogs very well and they’re very diverse with sizes of dogs who they are around. If your dog is aggressive to other male dogs, this won’t be a good fit for you. However, i’m happy to have an introduction to make sure everyone is comfortable. We tend to take a lot of walks and play ball in the yard throughout the day. During the summer we swim in the pop up pool we have for the boys and get the zooms out!
About: I take care of pets for family when they need it and have experience caring for older pets, puppies, and those with special care instructions. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can take time to walk dogs during the day. I’m most available during the weekend and after 5 pm for over night boarding, but can potentially accommodate other schedules. I have no pets, so my home is perfect for less friendly pets. Crates will need to provided if they are needed for your pet, but I’m willing to keep up with their routine.
“Nick is always so great with the animals and a huge help! He's very friendly, goes above and beyond, and the animals enjoy spending time with him. If you're looking for a trustworthy and flexible petsitter - Nick is your guy!”
“Had a little difficulty with figuring out the schedule at first, but that was sorted out quickly. My dog had a health issue and Steve was very helpful in managing this and very patient with our pup.”
“Such a sweet person and accommodated a last minute request to sit with my pup during the scary fireworks on july 4th! Mouse liked her right away and is a great judge of character. Mouse seemed happy and calm when I got home so would definitely book with her in the future.”
“Amazing is the best word I have to describe Siara. My Anna did so good with Siara. My house was just as it was when I left. She took great care of my senior dog with walks. Lots of lots of love and attention. I would highly recommend her 10 out of 10.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Rocky Mount
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rocky Mount on Rover is $42.8 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 281 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rocky Mount. 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 Rocky Mount 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 Rocky Mount 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 Rocky Mount 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 with handling special pet needs in Rocky Mount. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
