“Jessica was a Godsend. Due to a last minute sitter cancellation that left me scrambling for a long work trip, I found Jessica. Then right before my trip, my pup got an injury. I walked through everything with Jessica and with her prior experience caring for fosters, I knew he was in the right hands while I was away. She took amazing care of my guy, kept me up to date on everything and sent loads of pictures of my guy. I am forever grateful for the care she provided while I was away for an extended period and helping Beckham recover from his injury. Highly recommend booking with Jessica!”
“We had such a great experience! She took amazing care of Morty and made us feel completely comfortable leaving him with her. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was happy and well taken care of. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we were away. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!”
“Aaliyah did a great job taking care of our animals while we were away. She stayed in our home. She sent pictures and updates every day, keeping us well informed of what was happening at home. Our animals were happy when we got home and Aaliyah left our home in great condition.”
“Michelle was great with our pups!! They were all super comfortable and she made us feel really comfortable. We have never left our dogs with someone we didn’t know before so we were nervous for our first time but honestly she makes it feel like you’ve known her forever. She’s easy to communicate with, loves the animals, and was great at listening to the (probably unnecessary) amount of information and instructions I left about our dogs’ routine. We’re so grateful to have found a dog sitter we can trust! Would highly highly recommend.”
About: I am a work from home mom who loves pet sitting. I started this journey a few years ago, and has had the privilege of hosting several dogs of all ages, personalities and sizes. My children absolutely love animals, especially dogs, so there will be lots of cuddles and love from us. I take dog sitting very seriously, so I am very careful, and I always aim to please my pet parents, so I am always sending pictures, videos, and making sure your baby is happy and well taken care of. I am big on staying fit and healthy, so I take daily walks to get my steps in. I am very accommodating, so nothing is ever too much for me. I’ve had pet parents ask me to scramble eggs for their fur babies and put it on top of their dog food, and I’ve also had pet parents tell me to only feed their fur baby with a spoon, so please don’t hesitate to ask for any special request, because I aim to please! I work from home during the week and I have lots of down-time allowing me to interact and play with your fur baby . I am off during weekends and holidays I have a big house with an unfenced yard, and a loving family that will play and love on your fur baby. We will take daily walks, play outdoors, and have lots of play time and cuddles.
“Bridget stayed in our house and took care of our three doggies for 8 days while we were gone. We are so happy to have found her! She did a great job and we feel confident that the dogs were loved and well-cared for while we were away. We returned home to a clean house and happy pups. She kept in touch with us during our trip with photos and was very responsive whenever we reached out to her. We will absolutely hire her again and I definitely would recommend her to anyone we know! Thanks Bridget!”
“We were gone for a week and our pets were well taken care of. Mary would visit once a week for a few weeks before we left to let the dogs get used to her. This helped tremendously! She sent daily updates and pics. We will definitely use her again when we go away. It removes a giant burden knowing our pets are well cared for while we’re gone.”
About: I love all animals, I’ve dog sit in the past for families and really enjoyed it. I have prior experience with small dogs, along with larger ones. I’m looking for openings in the Louisburg area. Looking forward to have the opportunity to work with different animals and meeting new people in the area. I believe you have to be patient with all animals and pets especially when you are first meeting them. Always keeping in mind that it’s going to take time for them to warm up to a new person caring for them. I’m currently taking a break from nannying, and have a huge love for animals. I’ve had pets all my life. From cats, fish, hamsters, and dogs; to birds, snakes, iguanas and bearded dragons! I’m excited and can’t wait to meet your pets!! :) Being respectful of people’s homes, personal spaces and overall privacy. My main focus is the well being of the animal, making sure they’re taken care of.
“Amy was absolutely wonderful! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to stay with our three dogs over the weekend. She was incredibly attentive and kept us updated throughout the weekend, letting us know how each of them was doing. It made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our time away knowing they were happy and being so well cared for. You can tell Amy genuinely loves animals, and our dogs were clearly comfortable with her. We’ll absolutely be asking her to stay with them again and I know they’ll be excited to see her soon!”
About: I love everything about animals! When it comes to Cats and Dogs they are such great companions and I truly enjoy seeing an animal that is pleased and satisfied with my care, as well as their owners and I will do everything to make sure that happens, I have had professional experience working for a doggie daycare business. I of course am a pet owner myself and know what its like to have to trust someone else to take care of your beautiful pet. I very much value that trust and and take the time to learn different tricks and techniques to provide the best care possible for any type of dog or cat that I could possibly encounter on a day to day basis. I am sure that I can provide a valuable service to you. I work Part-Time, and I keep a flexible schedule so I will have no issue fitting any commitments into my calendar and I always maintain clear communication. Based on discussions with the client I will give as much attention to the animal as possible during service including playing with or without toys, walks, bathroom breaks, Feeding, Cuddles etc. based on the desire of the animal.
“We’ve never had any sitter as great as Melissa! She’s very good with our dogs. She’s very knowledgeable with what she’s doing and followed all care instructions for our pups. She kept our house clean and our dogs happy. She updated us with lots of pictures and she let us know if she needs to go somewhere and for how long. Which I really appreciate. She’s polite and very sweet! I would definitely book her services again and will totally recommend her.”
“This was our first time using Rover as well as an in home dog sitter. Our dogs have a hard time staying at boarding facilities so we wanted to find a more comfortable solution for them. I can’t thank Taylor enough for taking care of our girls and allowing them to keep their usual routine while we were away. I appreciated the check ins and photo updates so much! Taylor is kind, professional, & compassionate. All things any pet owner would hope for in their sitter.”
“Christy was so caring and attentive to my dog and it meant so much to know he was in good hands while I was away. I loved getting all the sweet updates and pictures which gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. She also took such great care of my home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
About: I have been in the veterinary field for about 10 years now. I went to Tech school in NY, I have worked in various types of vet med. I currently work full time but dedicate my morning and evening to th babies that stay with me. I am off weekends so your baby will get plenty of attention For boarding your dog will be in the dog room, which will have a xxl crate, bed and food and water dishes. I love to spoil the babies so they will get many treats during their visits.
“Nick was amazing with our dogs and kept them well exercised and taken care of. He also took great care of our house and upon getting home, we arrived to a very clean house. Will definitely rebook Nick for future dog sitting!”
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I could remember I’m constantly told that I have a vibe that dogs love. I use to take care of an elderly dog for a family friend and I enjoyed it so much. So why not help others with their dogs! I’m a stay at home mom which means I have tons of free time for all dog needs and wants and even healthy conditions and tons of love I have a large dog park right next to my complex that hardly many dogs go to and even has some training equipment inside for extra exercise
About: I have grown up with cats, dogs, horses, ferrets, reptiles, etc. I own a cat and two leopard geckos. I have a background in healthcare and follow instructions efficiently with direct attention to detail. I am open to caring for pets with specials needs such as medication administration. I look forward to building a relationship with your pet and granting your peace of mind in regards to their care while you’re away. I do work full time but I am available after 4pm on weekdays and have full availability on the weekends. I’m available for overnight stays as well. My cat gets plenty of attention at home with me, and you can expect the same for your pet. Whether they prefer chilling on the couch or intense exercise, I’m your girl!

The average cost of House Sitting in Social Plains is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $77 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 Social Plains 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 Social Plains 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 Social Plains 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.
