About: Been around dogs since I was little and offically took care of them when I was 8. Animals all around have been welcomed into my life whether they have four legs or not. Currently I am not working so it gives me more time to take care and play with your furry friends! I am available almost all hours of the day and can be contacted at anytime if in need of anything! I can easily bathe, clean, feed, brush, refill water for cats along with taking the time to play with them to ensure their daily enrichment for the day. For dogs I can easily help by simply brush, feeding, playing, being put into their crates, or even walking when needed to get their exercise and let them use the bathroom.
“Jurney did a great job keeping my fur babies during my weekend away. She always kept me informed, always pleasant, and just all around great to work with. My fur babies seem to love her as well and appeared well taken care of.”
“Noelle did an amazing job dropping in to let our two pups out on potty breaks, feeding them and making sure all their needs were met. She was extremely communicative and made sure we got lots of pictures and updates on how they were doing while we were away for a weekend! We will absolutely use her again for any dog sitting needs.🩷”

She is very knowledgeable about cat behaviors and habits. She took excellent care of our home as well. Very responsible and personable.”
“Amazing experience having Samira house and pet sit! My dogs loved her right away and I was able to travel knowing everything was well looked after! Samira sent regular updates and pictures. Communication was great. I could not have asked for a better experience and will hope to have Samira come again next time we need pet sitting!”
“We have now used Hailey repeatedly, and have absolutely loved having her house sit for our boys. Her communication is outstanding, photo updates multiple times daily, and our house is always clean when we return. She loves on our pups like they are her own, and we appreciate her so much!”
“Brittany was a great sitter while we were away for a few days! Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and communicative sitter. We felt comfortable leaving our dog and home in her care. Thank you Brittany!”
About: Veterinary assistant and lifelong dog enthusiast offering premier sitting services. Skilled in dedicating to your pet's happiness. Trust in my expertise as I pursue my dream of becoming a veterinarian! My main job schedule is typically 7:15 AM–6:00 PM, but I do get a 1-hour lunch break and occasionally half-days, which I can sometimes work around. I plan pet visits around my shifts and make sure they’re consistent and reliable. For longer trips or multiple daily check-ins, I’m usually able to coordinate timing in advance so your pet’s routine stays on track. I’m also flexible where possible and do my best to accommodate clients who travel or have changing schedules I care for pets by following their routine closely—feeding, water, cleaning, and bathroom breaks when needed. I check in on their overall behavior and comfort, and I pay attention to any changes in health or stress, such as skin issues, appetite changes, or unusual behavior. My goal is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and consistent with their normal routine while owners are away
“Allie and Coco found a new best friend - we felt comfortable and safe with our girls in Matt’s hands. We received regular updates and fun photos. Bonus was coming home and not having to change sheets because Matt had already washed them. We will definitely hire Matt again.”
“Isabelle was great with our dogs, Natalie and Ollie, while we were out of town. The dogs loved her! She sent us pics on arrival and kept in touch each day we were away. Isabelle is personable, caring, knowledgeable, and prompt; she took good care of the house too. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again!”
About: I've been around animals my whole life and started informally pet sitting as a teenager — caring for animals has always felt second nature to me. I specialize in overnight and vacation care, and I'm especially comfortable with senior dogs. When I'm caring for your pets, I stick to their normal routine as closely as possible — meals, walks, medications, and downtime on their schedule, not mine. I send updates and photos throughout the stay so you always know how things are going. My goal is for your pets to feel calm, cared for, and completely at home while you're away. Pet care is my full-time focus, not a side gig fit around another job. Since I run my own pet care business, I have the flexibility to offer consistent daily visits, extended overnight stays, and last-minute care when life happens. I provide care exclusively in your home, so your pet stays in their own familiar environment with their regular routine, food, and surroundings — no unfamiliar pets, no added stress of a new space. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, medication, and exercise, and keep to their normal schedule as much as possible. I treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, including respecting any house rules around access, cameras, and specific areas of the home. You'll get updates and photos throughout each visit or stay so you always know how things are going.
About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs for my friends and loved ones! I miss them while in school, and would love the opportunity to take care of your cutie! I am currently finishing up my degree and could use a joyful break. Would love to take your dog on a run/walk that’s already part of my routine. We can both get some wonderful sunlight and photosynthesize 🌸 I have a fenced in back yard and a crate if needed. My neighborhood is dog friendly with all my neighbors having dogs, who at times get taken out for walks around our peaceful neighborhood.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rural Hall
Karissa was AMAZING with our pets. She was calm, caring and really attentive. We have 8 pets and all have their own quirks, she was very friendly and helpful with all of them. We got pictures daily which we really appreciated as it was our first time leaving all of them and we missed them! In the pics they looked happy, relaxed and enjoying their time with her :) I would absolutely 10000% book with Karissa again. She’s the best!!!

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 Rural Hall 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 Rural Hall 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Rural Hall 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
