About: I’m Lawrence and I love dogs. Pet sitting is so rewarding! I also love that I have the freedom to work at home, while caring for animals. You’ll love that I’m able to spend the entire day with your dog so I can get to know their personality and individual needs. Customers remark say I have calming energy that animals feed off and creates a great environment for their care. I pay the utmost attention to the owner’s wishes and perspective as well as the dog themselves. I treat and respect every stay as a unique experience and hope to connect with you to create a respectful and symbiotic relationship. I live in a cozy home in Norwalk with Gabby. Our neighborhood is dog-friendly and perfect for walking. The streets are calm and you can rest assured your dog is in safe hands when walking around my neighborhood. We have a great park across the street from my house which, with your permission, I’d love to take your pup to. I have a range of experience with all sizes, breeds, and personalities of pups. I grew up with Shepherds and Labs but have spent time with many dogs. My fiancé Gabby will be there as well to provide extra cuddles. My clients have fallen in love with her natural ability and calmness. She’s a great partner and your pup will be lucky to have us both in their care. When I’m not spending time with pups (or when I am), I enjoy relaxing with Gabby, developing video games and skateboarding.
“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.”
“I will hire Diana every time I need to leave town. She followed my instructions to the letter. She came back to return my key and my 3 dogs were all happy to see her again. She noticed one of my dogs was needy and she also had to deal with a shelter/adopted German Shepherd that is afraid of everything. She was on time. Stayed through the nights I requested. I love that she loved my babies while I was gone for the weekend.”

Currently I have a flexible schedule and can be available for short or longer visits. I am available for house/pet sitting for any length of time. I like to keep as close to your pets usual daily schedule as possible to ensure that they feel happy and safe while I am there, and ensure that the home and your pets are secure after I leave.
“This was our initial time using Rover. We are very particular with our fur babies. Kristina was very welcoming and assuring. We had a meet and greet with just her and then with our girls. I left having every confidence in her ability. We were gone for a week and she sent daily photos and updates. She treated our girls like her own. We will definitively be using her services again, and I highly recommend her. Thank you so much!”
“Leslie took wonderful care of my dogs & kitty. She even took the added step of rinsing out our farm animals swimming pool & water trough. Exceptional level of care, will absolutely rebook in future!”
“We really enjoyed having you watch the boys! We appreciated how communicative you were the entire time, and we loved receiving the pictures and updates as well.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve grew up with cats and dogs in my household. Volunteered with the humane society between 11-16 years old. Worked at the Animal Hospital from 18-23 years of age. So I have a lot of experience with animals I love all animals. My cats are considered family so I will treat your babies the same. I have experience with feeding, walking, baby-sitting, trimming nails, caring for, playing, and grooming/bathing family, friends, and co-workers animals. I work full time Monday thru Friday but my hours are very flexible. My weekends are completely free I don’t work the weekends at all. I do have an animal gate. But I can accommodate you in anyway you need. Just communicate what you need and we can figure it out.
About: I’ve taken care of animals all of my life, big and small. This fills my whole heart to know your animals will be shown the care they need. I am currently in school Monday through Friday but on the weekends I am willing and available to tend your animal needs. I have a part time job on sundays but can work around. If gone for longer than a week I am willing to see through the week. Due to having my own animals, I will only be visiting homes to walk or play with. With lots of care, I can offer stopping in home and letting your animal out. Feeding and playing as long as I need too.
About: I’ve loved dogs from a young age and have experience being around dogs of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies to older, more relaxed dogs. I’m comfortable handling both high-energy dogs that need active walks and calmer dogs who prefer a slower pace. This has helped me understand different personalities and routines so I can provide care that fits each dog individually. My focus is always on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits into my schedule in the evenings after work and on weekends. I’m typically available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting during those times. I keep a balanced schedule so I can provide reliable, consistent care and give each pet my full attention. I focus on providing safe, calm, and consistent care in each pet’s home. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding, walking, and any special routines, to ensure pets stay comfortable and secure. I make it a priority to respect each home and leave everything clean and as it was found, while making sure pets feel relaxed and well cared for.
About: I’ve spent my lifetime taking care of dogs. I grew up owning dogs and spend my free time volunteering at the local humane society. I have experience handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. At home, I have a 3 year old pit bull mix and a tiny 14 year old cockapoo. I’ve cared for puppies and young dogs, training them to walk nicely on a leash, ring a bell to go outside, and do simple tricks like sit, lay down, shake, and more. I enjoy spending time with animals and developing tailored care for all personalities. I work Wednesday’s and Thursday’s 8-4pm, but I am open all other days and hours outside of that. I’m available for drop ins, overnights, and for walks. It depends on the pets and their specific needs. I work with the owner making sure that the expectations are met and each pet gets the personalized care they need.
“Josh cared for my two beagles and my kitty and did a wonderful job. He is a total professional and an animal lover. I highly recommend you trust Josh with your pets. He is first rate .”
“Katie took superior care of our senior dog who has a demanding schedule. She went above and beyond what was expected. Our home was in perfect order after our eight day trip. Katie is responsible, independent, and a professional, as well as having a natural talent for caring for animals. All we had to do was enjoy our vacation!”

Kristina did a wonderful jobs with our girls Sally Jo and Calamity Jane. I think our girls enjoyed spending some time with Kristina's god Joy. Kristina played with our girls and gave Calamity Jane a nail spa day. Thank You so much, we really appreciated your help
Kelsey was absolutely wonderful with Romeo during our 5-day trip! She took excellent care of him in our home and was reliable, attentive, and clearly genuinely cared about Romeo’s wellbeing. Romeo clearly loved her and was completely comfortable in her care. She took pics and sent us daily updates. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while we were away. We would definitely book with Kelsey again and highly recommend her to other dog parents!

FAQs for House Sitting - Statesville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Statesville on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,692 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Statesville. 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 Statesville 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 Statesville 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 Statesville 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
