“Heather was wonderful with Gunner! She followed our instructions, kept him busy with his favorite puzzles, and sent photos throughout the sit. We would absolutely book her again.”
“Jennifer took such great care of our pups and our home over the holidays. Her regular updates and photos gave us peace of mind that our pups were in great hands while we’re away. Our home was in better condition when we got back than when we left it. Will be using JR regularly!”
“Michael was attentive, communicative, and treated our dogs with care. Our older dog requires daily eye drops, and we appreciate that Michael was able to continue with those while watching them.”
“Katelyn was very communicative and organized in preparation to watch our three pups. She was prompt getting to our house and very loving towards our dogs. We plan to book with her again!”
“Nicole stepped in and was able to help us out with a last minute sit for our cat and dog. They loved having her stay with them and were well taken care of. We came home to a spotless home and happy pets! We would definitely use Nicole again!”
“Daniel came and met with my dogs the day before. He seemed to have a good way around pets. Unfortunately, I had to cancel the day of but he was extremely gracious and understanding and provided a refund after rescheduling attempts failed.”

“Ashlee came through, I appreciate all that was done while I was away, I’d recommend her services to anyone. It was nice to take a vacation and not worry about whether or not the pets were being taken care of. Pictures sent, texts answered, overall satisfied. This was my first time using rover so I was a little skeptical but I’m glad I gave it a shot.”
About: Hi, I'm Olu. I’m an active, dependable pet sitter who loves keeping pets happy, exercised, and engaged. From long walks and outdoor adventures to playtime and cuddles, I make sure every pet gets both physical activity and emotional care. I’ve spent the past year or two pet-sitting for family and friends, and I’m now excited to expand and grow as a pet caregiver. I work in Chapel Hill and have flexible evening and weekend availability, making it easy for me to fit into your pet’s routine. I currently work as a barista in Chapel Hill and have flexible availability, especially in the evenings and on weekends. I’m able to accommodate drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays, and I plan my schedule around giving pets consistent attention, care, and companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well-supervised at all times, whether we’re at home or out for a walk. I love staying active with pets through walks, runs, playtime, and park visits. I also have my own car, so I’m able to help with vet or grooming appointments if needed and approved by the owner.
About: I have many years of experience caring for animals, including volunteering at a dog and cat shelter for about 10 years. I’m calm, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I also spend time around animals regularly and enjoy photographing them, which helps me notice small details in behavior and mood. Your pet will be treated with care, respect, and genuine love. I’m available during weekdays and mornings, and I’m happy to follow any specific routines or instructions I currently have a flexible schedule and can adjust to your pet’s needs. I’m available for drop-in visits during weekdays and some weekends. I always plan my time carefully to make sure your pet gets consistent and reliable care. I respect your home and your pet’s routine. I follow all instructions carefully and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I never rush visits and always pay attention to behavior, food, water, and overall well-being. I also send updates and photos so you can feel at ease.
“We’ve had Brooke come sit with our pup a few times and each time she was more than fantastic! Our high anxiety pup just loves Brooke and we feel so comfortable and at-ease leaving her when Brooke is with her!”
“I can not say enough about how well Jana did. She took such good care of my babies, even while one was very sick. I feel so lucky to have had her with them during this time!”
About: Hi pet parents! I’m a dog and cat mom, foster parent, and Registered Veterinary Technician. I have dedicated my life to caring for all kinds of animals and truly believe that pets aren’t “just pets”, they’re family. I know how stressful it can be to leave them with someone else. I’ve been in your shoes. So whether your pet is a tiny lap dog, a giant couch potato, an independent cat, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. My sweet pup Summer was a stray dog I found on the streets of North Carolina. She reminds me daily just how important patience, understanding, and meeting an animal where they’re at can be. I know that not every pet immediately feels comfortable with a new person or environment, and I’m more than happy to take things at their pace and give them the time they need to feel safe. You can expect regular photo and video updates, because I know how much better it feels to see your pets happy and enjoying themselves while you’re away As a relief RVT, my schedule is pretty flexible which makes it convenient for me to fit your pet sitting needs into my day-to-day work. At this time I am not taking any boarding bookings but will happily watch your pets in the comfort of their own home I follow all rules and instructions provided by the pet parent to the T, as you know your pet best! I will respect your home and pets as if they were my own
About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2024, originally helping my mom out with her own pet sitting business. For the past 6 months, I’ve been offering services of my own. I have experience with both cats and dogs and specialize in in-home stays to keep your pets happy and comfortable in their own home. I graduated high school early in January and have been working on my pet care company since then. I am not currently in school, giving me 24/7 availability. I believe the best way to care for pets is to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. This is why I love house sitting for my clients, as their furry friends get to stay in their own home!
About: Not only have I grown up with dogs (cats, chickens, rats, the works!), I have extensive experience in petsitting and will do everything in my power to make sure your pet has a comfortable and safe experience while you are away. I am qualified in walking, feeding, playtime, bath time, training, etc... I have had many senior dogs in my lifetime, so I understand the challenges and patience needed for sweet seniors. All of my dogs have been rescues and understand the required care needed for shy or anxious dogs. I also have 3+ years experience in fostering cats, kittens included, so I'm well-versed in cat care too. I have two foster fails of my own! I am working remotely this summer so I can work my schedule around you :) Friday mornings are usually a no-go along with Thursdays from 10:30-2:30pm. Otherwise I'm around! I will strive to provide a secure, safe environment and be attentive to needs and any behavior changes. No loud, sudden noises and positive reinforcement will create a calm, comfortable environment for your pet. Walking, playing, and feeding daily can be given along with bathing.
“Alphine took such incredible care of our dog, Luna, and our cat, Dullahan! She was clearly comfortable with larger dogs and even went above and beyond to walk Luna despite our complicated requests around her leash reactivity. It was easy to communicate with Alphine throughout our trip and we felt confident our pets were in good hands because of it. Alphine also took incredible care of our home. We can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Jylesha took great care of my blind senior pup! She eased my mind while I was away with updates and photos. Jylesha even went out of her way to clean up before she left. Highly recommend!”
“Charisma was an amazing sitter. She sent photos and videos and kept me up to date. She was very attuned to the dogs’ needs and left my home better than she found it. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Chevaughn did an amazing job! One of my dogs (Toffee) is 'very' skittish & does not warm up to new people well (it often takes weeks - sometimes months - for people just to be able to pet her). However, when we did the first meet & greet, Toffee was curious & got close enough to sniff him, which I thought was a great sign. But then... Chevaughn was actually able to pet her before leaving. She was wary, but let him. It kinda shocked me a bit. We had met with 2 other potential sitters & Toffee wouldn't get near them. With one of them, she wouldn't even come inside the house from the yard, not even for a treat, so long as the lady was there. Chevaughn has great energy, though. He was calm & assertive, moved gently around Carlee & Toffee, and they both became fast friends with him. While we were away, he even sent video of her licking his hand. That was a huge deal... Chevaughn was reliable, on time, consistent & most importantly, he is kind. Next time we need a sitter, he's our guy and I highly recommend him for taking care of your pups..”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Seaforth
We are new to Rover. After a face-to-face meeting with Gwen, we asked her to house-sit our cat. We are extremely pleased with her service! Our cat has separation anxiety, but showed no signs of it when we returned, thanks to Gwen's attention/ample playtime. Our cat will not drink water from a bowl; it must be mixed in with each of his 4 meals.....not an easy feeding task. We appreciate that Gwen gave our cat the care that he needs. Also, she moved our potted plants into the garage on 'freeze' nights and took care of our home. Gwen was very easy to work. We have already scheduled our next booking with her. Thank you, Gwen!
Gwen was an amazing home- and petsitter for our cat, who took to her immediately. Great communication, timely, responsible, and daily photos and updates. We were out of the country for a week and didn't worry once. We are frequent travellers and will absolutely use Gwen's services again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for pet care in the area.

FAQs for House Sitting - Seaforth
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,905 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Seaforth. 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 Seaforth 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 Seaforth 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 Seaforth 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.
