“Kayden was great! You can tell she has a way of getting pets to quickly get close with her. My pup Roman is battling isolation anxiety, and was very happy to have Kayden come by. Not only that, but she went above and beyond with updates and even keeping my house very tidy! She goes above and beyond. I am super grateful for her and will be rebooking :)”
“Meghean was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of Tiger and Sky, kept me updated with messages and photos, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for them and treated them like her own. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for pets. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much, Meghean!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my everyday routine! I’ve always had a dog in my home growing up, which has given me experience with feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved. I’m very patient, attentive, and genuinely love being around animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’ll always treat your furry family member with the same love, care, and attention I would give my own! 🐾💕 I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your furry friends! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they receive the love, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I’m happy to work with pet owners to find times that best fit their pets’ needs and routines! 🐾💕 Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I understand how important it is to provide a loving, safe, and trustworthy environment. I’ll always respect your home, follow your pet’s normal routine, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and proper care. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll happily provide updates and pictures to give you peace of mind while you’re away! 💕
“Nicole accomodated our needs verywelll looking aftero our two Jack Rusells. She gave them the attention they needed and took care of the few other needs like watering the plants. We will definitely use Nicole again. Thanks!”
“Lauren did a phenomenal job with our fur babies. From the time she replied to our request she took the time to listen and understand our challenges. Then she came over and took the time to familiarize herself with both of our babies ensuring there wouldn’t be any issues. Great job and great person.”
“She’s an absolute gem! Thank you for taking such great care of my babies. Yasmeen is great with communicate, kept the house spotless and communicated her schedule with great detail and organization. The dogs were also very comfortable with her.”
About: Retired registered nurse, knows CPR and can administer meds. I love all pets, but can only board small pets in my home. If boarding in my home I prefer house trained and good with other small dogs. Can work with your pet on house training, crate training, and basic commands. I have never met a cat or dog I did not like and that did not like me in return. I would love to get to know you and your fur prince or princess. I can travel up to 20 miles, after that I need to charge more to compensate for gas. In the midst of training? I can help, I reward with praise and can reinforce your commands. I can not board cats, my old gal will not allow it. I am retired and other than occasional trips can modify my schedule to meet your pets needs. If your dog likes the dog park we are happy to go for a ride there. I have a fenced yard and 2 littles, one loves to play, the other is an observer. There is no way the dogs can get out of the yard.
“Caitlin stayed with our dogs for a week during Christmas break. She took great care of them with daily walks and playtime… and lots of love! We will definitely reach out for her help with them again! They love her!!!!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we were nervous because we’ve never left our dog at home alone. We were using boarding services, but our black lab Roger would always come back sick with stress. Kyla was fabulous and helped keep us at ease while we were away. She followed all instructions and made sure to spend quality time with Roger. She made sure to play fetch with him every day and went on walks with him. She sent pictures of our happy boy, and we felt so relieved knowing we could keep him at home. When we saw our neighbors when we got home, they also complimented Kyla and how great she was with Roger. We will definitely be using Kyla and Rover again! Thank you so much!”
“Having Isabella at our house was such a huge relief. We were gone for a week and she sent lots of pictures of our dogs and stayed in contact with me the whole week. It provided such a peace of mind knowing our dogs and our home were well cared for so we could enjoy our family vacation! I will absolutely book her again in the future!”
“Ethan was absolutely amazing with our anxious English Bulldog for overnight dog sitting! He took the time (and multiple visits) for George to become totally comfortable! He was excellent and very knowledgeable about dogs and their personality quirks! 10/10 will be booking him again!”
About: Hi there! I’m Justine — a super friendly, animal-loving pet sitter with 8 years of veterinary assistant experience. 🐾 I am new to Rover. Just moved here to North Carolina recently! I have a deep passion for caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and ages — from playful puppies to senior companions needing a little extra love. I share my home with 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own, so I truly understand how much your pets mean to you — they’re family, and I’ll treat them like my own. With my vet background, I’m very comfortable giving medications (oral, topical, or injectable), handling special needs pets, and understanding animal behavior. Whether your pet is anxious, high-energy, or shy, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for. You can count on me for: ✔️ Reliable, loving care ✔️ A calm, experienced hand for nervous pets ✔️ Updates with photos and messages to give you peace of mind ✔️ Lots of playtime, snuggles, and personalized attention I look forward to meeting your furry family and being someone you can trust again and again! I do currently work full time throughout the week in Huntersville and generally have weekends off. I am off Tuesday’s as well. I am flexible and starting to save for radiology school. When caring for pets in their home, my goal is to keep them feeling safe, loved, and comfortable by maintaining their regular routine as closely as possible. 🦴 For drop-ins, I’ll make sure your pet is fed on schedule, has fresh water, gets a potty break or litter box cleaned, and gets one-on-one attention through play, snuggles, or quiet companionship — whatever they enjoy most. 🐾 For dog walks, I focus on safe, fun, and enriching walks that match your dog’s pace and energy level. I always watch for signs of stress, avoid unsafe areas or encounters, and make sure they come home happy and tired. 🏡 For house sitting, I provide full-time love and supervision, keeping your pet’s day-to-day life as normal as possible — meals, walks, play, medication if needed, and bedtime routines. I also respect and care for your home like it’s my own: clean, secure, and neat when you return. With 8 years of experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m very comfortable with pets of all ages and medical needs, including giving medications and recognizing early signs of illness or stress. I always send regular updates with photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands
About: I lived with my 2 pit bulls throughout all of high school. They are a handful and there would be many nights were I would have to take care of them on my own and by doing this I was able to pick up everything you need to know about a dog. When they need to go to the bathroom, how to feed them, how to walk them, playing with them, and bathing them. I was able to pick up all of these skills along with many more from taking care of my dogs back home. There is nothing I haven’t seen with dogs and there’s not a dog I’ve met that I haven’t been able to take care of, I also love all dogs! Right now I’m only talking 2 summer classes online for the next couple of months so I will be very open and have time to take care and provide all the attention in the world to your dog(s). I have a collar and leash I can walk your dog out in and out of the house with. My backyard is not fenced but there is plenty of room for your dog to roam around while I have him leashed. I have a pretty big, open house that he can run around in and do have a crate if needed.
“I cannot stress enough how awesome Dawn and Steven were. They were very helpful and sent tons of pictures and videos of our fur baby. I would highly recommend using them, as I’m not sure it can get any better.”
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. ❤️ I’m passionate about making every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every animal has their own unique personality, needs, and routines, and I take pride in giving each pet the patience, attention, and affection they deserve. Through my experience caring for animals, I’ve learned how important it is to be attentive, responsible, and gentle. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in loving, trustworthy hands! 🐾 I have a flexible work-from-home schedule that allows me to accommodate pet care throughout the day and adjust my availability whenever needed. I can easily work around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and other routines to ensure your pet receives plenty of attention and care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs to ensure they feel safe and comfortable in their environment. In your home, I respect your space and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special requests. I believe trust, communication, and patience are essential, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos for your peace of mind. My goal is to treat every pet with the same love, attention, and care I would give my own!
“Desiree was a great help! She took care of our two pups at our house while we were gone on a quick trip. Not only did she take great care of our pups & updates with pictures, but also kept our house clean. Would highly recommend & book again!”
About: I have watched a friend’s mature dog in her home while a family member was hospitalized. I have always had rescue animals in my home it is always been a priority for me to love animals and treat them with the respect that is so well-deserved. I have two rescue kitties that I care for every day. I am semi retired, spend special time with my fur babies and exercise every day. I would like to rescue a dog, but if I could spend time and love other people's pets, it would be a very rewarding experience. Since I have two kitties, I prefer to care for pets in the clients homes. My one kitty is 16 years old and I don’t want to subject her to change an environment. Every morning, I am greeted by my kitties, before eating breakfast I give them their morning treats. After exercising in the afternoon, it is dinner time for them so I feed them, they nap and then we bond later in the evening, while one sits near me and the other one sits on my lap. Having cared for several dogs in the past, I take them for walks, engage in playtime and take time to bond. At one point in my lifetime I had three rescue dogs who all got along famously. They were an extension of my family and sadly, eventually passed from old age. I will love your dogs in the same way and treat them with kindness and respect. Their comfort and security are my main concern, along with your peace of mind, knowing that they are safe and secure.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and truly love caring for animals. I have experience with both dogs and cats and provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet. Also a breeder, I have lots of experience with puppies. Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule and lots of experience caring for dogs and cats.

Nicole was great with our dogs. Stella my Weimaraner has very bad anxiety. She doesn’t really warm up to many people. She just loved Nicole. I had no worries leaving her with Nicole. I will definitely use Nicole again. Thanks Nicole for making my trip relaxing.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,372 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sherrills Ford. 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 Sherrills Ford 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 Sherrills Ford 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 Sherrills Ford 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.
