“It was Maverick’s first time with Chelsea. She did overnight stays at our house for a long weekend. We received regular pupdates and pictures of our sweet boy. We really appreciated the communication. The house was exactly how we left it and we couldn’t be happier with her sitting our boy.”
“Isa did a great job watching our dogs. We got a ton of updates and pictures throughout the stay and she was flexible with our last minute booking. We would definitely use her again!”
About: Hi! My name is Alyssa and I'm excited to meet your fur baby. I have a flexible schedule which allows me to be readily available for walks or doggy day care. I grew up with dogs and currently have one of my own (but don't worry... your pup will get my full attention on our scheduled walks.) If you have more than one dog, I am open to taking up to two. I am also available to do drop in visits in your home to play, feed and let the dog(s) out. Because I work remotely, a home where you are okay with me accessing your wifi would be a great fit. Additionally, I’m able to host your pup in my home. I have a fenced in backyard and a very friendly dog who would love to play with a new friend. I work from home with a flexible schedule and am readily available during the week. The best hours for me are betweeb 7:30am and 5:30pm. I will follow your instructions as far as a suggested walk route and how you'd like me to interact with your pup upon arrival and departure. Prior to watching a dog in my home, I would prefer our dogs to meet just to ensure they are comfortable with one another.
“Emily has watched Hummus a few times now and she’s been great every time. She’s always on time, stays overnight, and leaves my home clean and respected. Hummus loves Emily. She provides updates daily. She even noticed that Hummus was licking her paws a lot and let me know! Emily cares and it shows.”
“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!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Christina as our dog sitter! She did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs and went above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable and happy. Christina was attentive, responsible, and even took care of cleaning up a few accidents without hesitation. Our dogs were well cared for, and we appreciated the thorough communication and updates while we were away. We highly recommend Christina for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
About: I began my journey learning about responsible pet care and dog training when I was ten years old and enrolled in 4H with my puppy. Since that early age I have gained professional experience in vet clinics, pet stores, and as a professional dog jogger. I did extensive research on positive reinforcement training when I adopted my shy, border collie mix puppy in 2020 and am a strong believer in its ability to form strong bonds and trust with any pet. I currently have a remote job that gives me open flexibility. I can also make evening visits and overnights stays throughout the week. I can work from your home on my laptop when I am pet/house sitting, providing a lot of companionship for your best friend! I will care for the pets in your home, where they feel most comfortable. I am open to developing pet care in my home for doggy daycare. I have a large fenced yard and am located right next to Cedarock Rock. I walk our dogs there almost daily. Our young dog Hugo would love a dog to play with!
About: My approach to pet care prioritizes keeping your animals nervous system regulated while changes happen to their daily life. You will receive thorough updates and assured peace of mind that your fur babies are in good hands! I own my own business so the time set aside for animal care is blocked off completely. Your animals will receive my undivided attention and you can rest assured that they are my top priority! Caring for animals in their home environment means allowing them to reduce the stress of changing environments. Let me come to you and your pets will thank you for it!
“Truly so nice and amazing! She was timely and give our boys the best care! She was thoughtful and asked us questions we didn’t even think about!! Honestly a sweet heart and so caring!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life. My family currently has 3 dogs and 2 cats on our farm! I’m a responsible owner who has had experience breaking up dog fights and aggression as well as pet sat many times for neighbors. I’ve been around big (energetic GSPs) and small dogs and I am good with puppies. I have experience taking care of my brothers cats for weekends at a time. I volunteer at the animal shelter weekly walking dogs and have no pets in the home currently as I will move home next year to my family’s farm! I work part time (about 36 hrs a week) at the hospital. I am soon going to lower my hours (Around December) to mainly focus on pet sitting to enjoy my gap year before PA school! I know how to make a dog comfortable and never cross their boundaries! I have experience walking dogs who are jumpy/mouthy at the shelter as well as dog reactive. At the farm, I have a senior dog who moves slow and 2 crazy GSPs who love to exercise.
“Gabe is a nice man with a great heart for your pet(s). He communicates well and delivers on his promises. I feel I can trust him again to take care of my fur family of five.”
“Meg was awesome. Both of our cats and our dog immediately gravitated towards her. She left the house so clean it was wonderful to come home to. The pets were also nice and calm when we got home indicating they were very well taken care of while we were out of town. We told Meg that she could take our dog on a drive away from our apartment for extra enrichment and she went out of her way to do that! She genuinely loved our pets and they loved her right back.”
About: I've been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities. I've also volunteered with animal rescue organizations, helping foster pets, support adoptions, and assist with trap-neuter-return efforts for stray cats. Animals have always been a huge part of my life—including my rescued pet possum, Rocky, who has become best friends with my cat! I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to provide loving, dependable care while you're away. I took voluntary retirement in December 2025, so I am available to spend time with your furry friends 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. or overnight, all days of the week. I treat all animals as if they were my own, as well as your home, too. I am detailed, affectionate, reliable - and very tidy and clean!
About: I have had several dogs in my family that I have taken care of, including one with reactivity and separation anxiety. I have also been working at the animal shelter for over a year, where I am a mentor. I have worked with several different animals, and many different sized dogs there. Am proficient in walks, enrichment, light training, play groups, and general care. I also enjoy photography and love taking custom pictures of pets! I am currently available all week, with lots of flexibility on time. I prefer to work during the weeks, and in the mornings, but can adapt depending on the pet needs. I have both pet sat at my house and at the owner's house, and am comfortable doing both. If visiting another home, I like to have a throughout understanding of the pet and their needs. I prefer to do long-term sitting at my home, as I have a large yard where they can explore safely.
About: Hello! My name is Isabel and I'm a Research Coordinator in the Psychiatry Department at UNC. I have taken care of animals for years. Have watched dogs, cats, and birds. Feel free to reach out and I can provide more information! I can watch your pets overnight at my house or at yours if you prefer. Have a lot of availability in the evenings and on weekends. I'm very flexible when it comes to how you'd like your pet to be watched. Every animal is different and has a unique set of needs.
About: I've had animals most of my life from puppies to pound mutts and full blooded and senior dogs. I make sure to encourage play and positive training. I currently work from home so I spend lots of time with family pets, old roommate animals and friends pets. Lately it's been waking up to 3 small dogs my parents have. I make sure to follow any rules stated by the original owner. It can range from crate training, socialization, cleaning, walking or using the client's home.

The average cost of House Sitting in Silk Hope is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $39 per night.

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 Silk Hope 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 Silk Hope 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 Silk Hope 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Silk Hope. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
