“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!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Jaime! She was absolutely amazing. Our dogs, Luna and Norman, adored her from the start, and it was clear they were well-loved and well-cared for while we were away. We came home to a spotless house — she even picked up the dog poop in the yard and washed the sheets she used, which went above and beyond our expectations. We will definitely be using Jaime again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter!”
“Daniel was absolutely amazing! Our dog can be a handful since he has severe anxiety and he was great with him! He sent us pictures and updates! I knew my fur baby was getting lots of love when we were away and that made my heart so happy! I 100% recommend him!”
“Communicative and respectful of our house. Even our oldest dog (who is a little weary of new people) shared some snuggles with her! Very happy to know our 3 pups with big personalities were well loved and cared for while we were away.”
“Amazing pet sitter! He took great care of Benji and Milo, walked them, fed them exactly as instructed, and paid attention to every detail we left. We came home to two happy and relaxed dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Great communication, went about and beyond, showed up early when I miscalculated our departure time and did a great job at keeping in touch to let us know the pups were good. We will use her again!”
About: With over 30 years of experience caring for my own dogs and cats, I have provided potty and crate training, daily companionship, medication support, and compassionate senior dog care for pets with hip dysplasia and other age-related needs. As a retired teacher with an open schedule, I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and attentive care, ensuring every pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved. I provide personalized care in your home, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, dispensing medication, companionship, and plenty of affection. I will follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while you are away.
“Payton dog sat our crazy 1 year old dog while we were out of town and everything worked out perfectly! She took her for walks, played outside with her, and sent lots of updates. We will definitely use her again and would 100% recommend!”
About: I’m an animal lover with no fur babies of my own at the moment, which means I have plenty of love to give to yours! ❤️ I’m the trusted sitter for all my friends’ fur babies, also known as my fur nieces and nephews. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your fur babies plenty of attention, love, and companionship throughout the day. I work from home so I have full flexibility with my schedule allowing me to take breaks throughout the day for walking, playing, and belly rubs. I make sure your babies feel safe and comfortable while following their feeding schedule, making sure they have fresh water, and provide walks. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions from pet parents and provide updates and photos for peace of mind while they’re away.
“We used Jane for the first time this past weekend house/dog sitting overnight. She was great!! From day one when we met her for a meet and greet to taking care of our Wire Fox Terriers. Very responsive. Excellent communication. Handled extras around the house like garbage cans and package deliveries. We felt very comfortable having her stay in our home and take care of our kids. I highly recommend her. Thank you Jane.”
About: I took care of my former roommates’ chihuahua and standard poodle during the pandemic. I enjoyed exercising at the dog park, bonding time, and connections with pet owners. I’m truly excited to care for your furry friends as my 3 year old and I love being around dogs! Please note: For drop-ins I will walk, feed, and play with your dog(s). For cats, I will feed, change the litter and play with them. I will only board dogs and cats that are small child friendly and will consider house sitting dogs that may not be as friendly if there is a crate and a gate available to keep my child separated. I am currently available full time to care for your pet needs! If you would like to set up a meet and greet prior to committing, we can meet at a local park. I have an open and spacious yard and can easily crate your dog inside if needed. We will walk in the neighborhood at least every 3 hours and I will log all bathroom activity for drop ins.
“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!”
“Kayla is very friendly, reliable and communicative. This was her second sit for us and I am very pleased every time! She sends photos and updates when she arrives, etc. Kayla is welcome back anytime! Thanks Kayla!”
About: I love caring for dogs and have experience with all ages. I currently have a Redbone Coonhound and French Bulldog. They’re both very friendly, get along well with other dogs, and love to play, so I’m comfortable caring for both energetic and laid-back pups. I work a hybrid schedule with plenty of flexibility, so I’m able to make sure your pet gets the care, attention, and potty breaks they need throughout the day. My dogs would love to keep your pet company throughout the day! They enjoy going for walks around the neighborhood, playing fetch, and spending time with other dogs. Whether your pet loves to play or just wants a companion to relax with, they’ll feel right at home.
“Victoria is great with our 4 furkids. The 3 older kids took to her right away. Little Monkey took a little longer, but he came around. We will definitly book with Victoria again. We highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve been a dog walker and pet sitter since March 2024. I have experience walking all sizes of dogs from Bernese Mountain dogs to an 8 week old pug. I’ve worked with deaf dogs, a dog that was post-op for an ACL tear, and administered medicine if the pet required it. If you have a reactive dog, I may not be the best fit for you, and that’s okay! I have experience with dogs that are reactive to cars, but I prefer not to work with dogs who are reactive to other animals. I started doing this for a little extra cash & exercise when I’m not touring as a full-time stand up comedian. (It’s a real thing. I promise you never have to hear my jokes, but your dogs probably will at some point during our walks.) If you need a weekday dog walker, I’m your gal! You will also have ample notice for any time that I am traveling out of town for shows as my tours are booked the year prior. I had about 10 consistent weekly clients in Pittsburgh working with a business called Happy Tails, but I just moved to Charlotte so I’m looking for new clients! I’m available most weekdays. Weekends are tougher and will depend on my schedule from my full-time job, but I am open to weekends as long as I am in Charlotte. I am very serious about the comfort and safety of your pet. That means I will take the safest route possible (paved sidewalks with low traffic if possible), provide water, and clean up after them when they potty to keep your neighbors happy. I am happy to follow any guidelines you have for caring for your animal. I am also open to doing a trial period with your pet to make sure that we are a good fit for each other.
“This is either the 3rd or 4th time Jeffery has stayed with our critters in our home. He is just SO reliable, respectful, professional, and we have no worries when we're away. Our dogs and cat love his calm nature and that's exactly what our reactive boy needs. I hope we can continue to have Jeffery sit for us for years to come! I am just so grateful to have someone we can trust in our home with our kiddos.”
“Jordan is a wonderful sitter. She house sat for me while I was out of the country for the first time for a week. She kept me informed and Ollie happy. I would recommend her any time!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Stanley is $38 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $56 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Stanley 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 Stanley 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Stanley 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.
