About: I pride myself on communication and will always prioritize your pets and their needs while I care for them. I am able to administrate medication and comfortable with any kind of pet. I do this full-time and enjoy making genuine connection with pets and their families. Whether it be play time in the backyard or snuggles up on the couch with a good TV show, I am ready for it all! I do believe that pets succeed best in their own environment and I do my very best to keep their routines stable. I will always treat your home as if it is my own and am more than happy to grab mail, water plants, and put trash bins out.
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs and cats throughout their lifecycle, from nursing kittens to sending old pups to doggy heaven. I know what it takes to give animals attention and make them feel cared for. I work from home and make my own schedule, so I can work with any schedule and care commitments. I also walk often, so taking dogs out for some healthy exercise is right up my alley. I have two cats (both female) and two dogs. I have owned both all my life, so I have every kind of experience (good and bad!) and can handle it all!
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time with them. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I do my best to keep a flexible schedule and make time for pet care. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or playtime, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my priorities. I’ll follow your instructions, respect their routine, and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home.
About: I've been pet sitting for the past 4 years, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. In addition to my professional experience, I've grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I understand that every pet has their own routine and unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether that's walks, playtime, feeding, administering simple medications, or just providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I've built a strong reputation through word of mouth for being dependable, trustworthy, and compassionate. I'm excited to use this platform to connect with more pet owners and continue providing reliable, attentive care that gives both pets and their families peace of mind. Pet care is a big part of my daily life! After completing four years in the Marine Corps, I now have a flexible schedule that allows me to focus on caring for pets. I regularly babysit, dog sit, walk dogs, and care for cats whenever opportunities arise, so my days are centered around providing dependable care for families in my community. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and I love being able to give pet owners peace of mind while they're away. Whether it's sticking to a pet's routine, going on walks, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. As a former Marine, I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and take responsibility seriously. I'll carefully follow your pet's routine, respect your home, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how they're doing. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe and cared for while you're away. Whether they need lots of playtime and exercise or prefer quiet companionship and cuddles, I'll tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. I treat every pet—and every home—with the same level of respect and care that I would expect for my own.
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.
“Joshua did amazing watching our two dogs. They are super energetic and playful and he was able to keep them worn out by the end of each day. He took very good care with their regimented feeding and sleeping schedule. Would definitely recommend.”
About: Since I can remember I’ve always had a pet dog! My family had dogs growing up and now that I am an adult I have my own! I have trained my pup to the best of my ability and continue to get compliments about it. I’ve always been passionate about pet care and making pets feel like a member of the family, not an accessory. I’m currently employed by the U.S Army. Pet care fits in my routine first thing in the morning, lunch time, and anytime in the evening! I walk my dog daily on a leash around my neighborhood! I would love to walk other people’s dogs! I have a crate for my dog and he is trained to go in at anytime! I have space for a crate if an owner requires their dog to be put up at certain times! My dog is very submissive and is always looking for new friends!
About: I am very comfortable around all types of animals and able to bond and keep newly met pets comfortable in my presence. We would be helping eachother so I can get to experience the love your pet gives for a while. I have a very flexible schedule. I just need an advanced notice to be able to plan properly. The sooner i can be contacted to make plans the better. I provide a fun and friendly handling with a firm approach with the pets. The owners love me no where NEAR as much as the pets!

About: I’ve always had animals in the home growing and and being on my own. I love all animals and I’m very reliable and respectful of all animals and homes! I am currently a stay at home mom so I have open availability to help you give your fur babies the best care and companionship! I have a 1 year old husky at home so I’m used to big energetic dogs! And I have a cat fur baby I’ve had for years.
About: My parents realized I needed a dog in my life when I was child because I would try to pet my fish... ;) As a family we've had dogs since I was around 6 years old. I began dog-sitting for a neighbor when I was in middle school and that included helping care for two puppies when I was a bit older. Over the last few years my petsitting/housesitting relationships have steadily increased. I've helped friends by caring for their puppies, dogs, senior dogs, kittens, cats, and even a bird! Before I moved to NC I had keys for about 5 friends' homes since I am on standby for pet-sitting duties when they go out of town. My boyfriend and I are the proud parents of 1 dog, 2 cats, and 21 quail chicks! I am currently working 8:30am-5:00pm Monday-Friday in Holly Springs but hope my schedule works to care for your fur babies! I am typically very flexible during weekends. As someone who had an escape artist dog growing up I know the importance of safety, including keeping doors closed. I'm familiar with many different types of leashes, halters, Gentle Leader, even muzzles and am confident in using any your dog may utilize. I am also happy to crate your puppy/dog if needed.

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Pauls
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 337 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint Pauls. 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 Saint Pauls 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 Saint Pauls 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 Saint Pauls 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
