“Every single one of the reviews on Betty are true, she is such an amazing person and sitter. She took care of our three dogs for three nights and did a wonderful job. She provided updates and photos multiple times a day and actually got our high anxiety dog to eat his meals when we were gone, which was something that we have had trouble with in the past. Once you meet Betty you will know that you picked the right sitter. She is now part of the family and our dogs have already told us to go on another vacation so that Betty can come back over!”
About: In need of someone to care for your fur baby(babies)… I’m your dog sitter! I love animals, I will treat them like my own Gizmo( Bullmastiff mix); the complete experience opposite of a kennel! I do work as well as dog sit but with assistance, if by chance I have to step out, they will be unattended for no longer than 3 hours max. From blind and elder dogs to energetic puppies, I cater and adhere to all needs and requests. To maximum your reservation and get your fur baby(babies) settled, I do prefer early morning drop offs if that is convenient for the owner. I am able to do local pick ups as well if available for a small fee. Walks and playtime are scheduled catering to the pet(s) feeding times, potty times and energy. I typically walk 3 times a day and the distance varies by the pet’s comfort. Playtime and “pawtytime”( your pets deserve Me time too) fits in between walks. Your pets will be loved and treated like family every visit. I have an open apartment for them to run around and be themselves. I’ve housed a cat and 4 dogs at the same time (with their owners permission and being mindful of compatibilities) due to my minimalistic living atmosphere. My apartment is alarmed by Ring and I have a camera to monitor when they are unattended. My apartment complex has a small lawn in the front, this where they will frequent to for potty time and/or stretch their paws for a brief moment. For walks, I stay local to the Beltline, Piedmont park and Central Park.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors since I was 10 years old! Now at 19 I have experience in feeding, walking, cuddling, and loving so many different pets from dogs and cats to hamsters. I’m currently working as a part time teachers assistant which leaves weekday evenings (from about 4:45 to 11 pm) and weekends free for me :) I don’t currently have a space to bring your pets to my own home as I still live with my family but I’m available to visit your home during scheduled visits!
“Morgan always does such a wonderful job with my two dogs and ferret. She sends so many cute pictures and they love spending time with her. Would definitely recommend!”
“Blanca was amazing! She was very attentive with my dogs and was very communicative with me! She was a lifesaver with a last minute cancellation and really put my mind at ease. My dogs loved her and she even worked on training while I was away. I am very appreciative for her!”
“Marissa did an amazing job caring for our dog, Ghost, and our cat, Juno, while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and treated them with so much love and care. We really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. We came home to two relaxed and happy pets, and it was clear they had been in great hands. We would absolutely book with Marissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter!”
“Rachel did a great job sitting our 3 dogs and cat (and taking care of our home). When we returned, the house was sparkling clean and all pets were in great spirits — healthy and happy. She was communicative during the 5 day stay and sent pictures, which built co finance that the job was goi g well since this is the first time we’ve worked with Rachel. We already have her booked at Christmas!! Thank you Rachel!”
“Alejandra was amazing, our dogs olly and isla loved her!! She was very patient with them and she cuddled and played with them alot (they’re puppies) + isla really warmed up to her which is rare because she is usually very picky about the people she’s around with. thank you so much alejandra for taking care of our kids! ◡̈ they loved you alot!! til next time!”
“Kacie did a fantastic job when watching our 3 dogs. We have 1 dog that is extremely anxious and usually takes 2-3 visits from someone before she will even go near them. But Kacie was able to get close to her and pet her on the 1st visit. By the end of the day, the other 2 were just laying at her feet enjoying her company. She sent tons of pictures and I could tell she spent time with them and let them have some fun outside. And when she did have a concern about the anxious dog, she reached out, and we discussed some potential solutions which showed me she was genuinely concerned about the welfare of the dogs, and not afraid to ask for help with the more difficult dog. I will for sure being calling on Kacie again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes for friends and neighbors and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or extra attention, I’ll make sure they stay happy, active, and well cared for while you’re away. I am a pre-med student at NC State that is looking to continue caring for animals and enjoy doing it! I am home for the summer and have a flexible schedule. I’m organized and good at planning ahead, which helps me stay consistent with visits and make sure pets are cared for on time. I ensure they are always fed, hydrated, cared for, and active throughout the experience to ensure the pets remain happy and healthy. I will play with the pet and take them for lots of walks. I will also clean up any and all messes to maintain a clean environment.
“I hesitate to write this review because we'd love to just keep Vanessa all to ourselves! ❤️ 😂 I won't though because there are dogs, cats and owners that need to experience the kind of care that Vanessa gives. WOW, talk about a great find! From the meet and greet to the 3 night 4 day stay with Ace & Marigold (our 2 Great Danes) my mind was at ease knowing they were in her care. She was great at sending lots of pics of them doing their fave things and her reports on Ace & Marigold read like a pet story that we looked forward to that made us laugh and look forward to the next one! 🥰 😂 Everything went great and we have already booked with her to come sit with Ace & Marigold again. It is a blessing when you find someone you trust to watch your furry Best Friends! 🐾 ❤️ If you find it difficult to take those trips when your Best Friends aren't able to come with you, we highly recommend Vanessa because they will be in great hands! 🥰”
“Abigail looked after our fur babies while we were gone on vacation for 5 days! She was very responsive while we were gone and they seemed to have a great time. She was a great house/pet sitter!!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13 years old. I’ve always had a dog or a cat. I love animals and put my heart into taking care of them. This will be my job so I am open and available to take care of your animals during the day, at night, and overnight. I look forward to helping you & your fur babies! I currently have 2 dogs at home and have experience giving injections as one of my fur babies is diabetic. I will love and take care of your animals as I do my own.
“Mack was great with our dog and cat. I could tell they were well cared for when we got home because they were happy to see us and not anxious. House was left clean and tidy too. Definitely recommend Mack and will rebook next time we need a sitter ☺️”
“An amazing sitter. I would recommend her to pet sit more. For a beginner, she's sweet and understanding. And ask me questions about my dog and cat. Takes good pictures of my pets.”
“Desirae was awesome and my dogs loved her! Not only did she allow me to book her on short notice (only a few days prior), she communicated great, sent lots of pics and videos of my 2 dogs, and followed my directions to the tee. My husband and I will definitely be booking her again!”
About: Hi! I’m 25 years old and a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your furry (or feathered!) family member needs a walk, a quick drop-in visit, overnight care, or extended sitting, you can count on me to provide reliable, loving care while you’re away. I currently have an Australian Shepherd mix and a pet bird, so I’m experienced with both dogs and exotic pets. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every animal has unique needs and routines. I’m also experienced and confident in administering medications, whether that means pills, liquid medications, or following specific care instructions to keep your pet healthy and comfortable. My friends, family, and previous clients consistently describe me as dependable, compassionate, and attentive. I’m proud to have glowing references from pet owners who trust me to care for their beloved companions, and I work hard to earn that trust with every visit. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, playtime, and updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently available for overnight stays, drop-in visits, dog walking, and other pet care services, and I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets. I can’t wait to give them the same level of care and affection that I give my own! Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine, so caring for additional pets fits seamlessly into my schedule. I start and end each day caring for my own Australian Shepherd mix and pet bird, making sure they receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, attention, and love. Because I’m already committed to a structured pet care routine, I’m able to easily incorporate walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, medication administration, and overnight stays for my clients’ pets. I understand how important consistency is for animals, so I make it a priority to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whether it’s an energetic puppy that needs extra playtime, a senior pet requiring medication, or a shy cat that just needs some quiet companionship, I’m happy to provide personalized care that helps your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my highest priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure in my care. Whether we’re out on a walk, playing at home, or simply relaxing together, I remain attentive and patient while ensuring they stay safe at all times. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, loved, and in good hands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stokesdale
Grace met with us several times before our trip and made sure she knew our dog's routine and where everything was. She took exceptional care of our dog and kept us informed about her by sending us photos while we were gone. She is honest, conscientious and kind and we will certainly call upon her again if we need a sitter for our dog while we are out of town. I can't say enough good things about her and we highly recommend Grace!

FAQs for House Sitting - Stokesdale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Stokesdale 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 912 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stokesdale. 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 Stokesdale 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 Stokesdale 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 Stokesdale 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.

- 98% 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.
