“Robert, thank you so much for taking care of Siena! It is comforting to know that she wasn't alone for long periods of time and also had someone to play ball with! Truly appreciate it! When we need a sitter in the future, we would like you again to care for Siena,”
“Deb was great! She’s very reliable, kind and caring. She took very good care of my senior dog who has separation anxiety, she stayed with him at our home. He was calm he loved her and our home was clean and tidy when we got back. Our Thank you Debra for taking such good care of Ollie.”
“Anita did a wonderful job. Actually my fur baby Bella, choose Anita. She's very pleasant, kind & sweet. Anita stayed overnight in my home, my baby actually slept with Anita, which she's never done with me. She gave me daily updates and photos. I will be using Anita when I go out of town again for sure.”
About: I have life long experience with caring for different types of animals. My most experience comes from dogs (all sizes), cats, guinea pigs, and rats etc. I have experience pet sitting in particular for about 3 years now for family, friends, and others. I have personally cared for puppies/kittens, adults, and seniors. From bottle feeding all the way to the last moments. I currently work a full time job as a loan specialist between the hours 6AM-2:30PM during the week. I have lots of evening time and the weekends to take care of my own pets (feeding, walking, playing, going on trips) and would love to add others to my schedule for those that need or want some extra support. My care varies depending on the pet, their routine, behaviors, and owners preferences. I follow the guidelines and particular care of each animal to the owners interest and knowledge of their pet. Whether that be my friends dog who has to be crated with his one specific toy and his own radio turned to the gospel station to another owner’s instructions that their cats will only eat if you snap your fingers and say “supper time!”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I have been apart of the Rover community for around 5 years now. I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you’re away! I am currently home full time and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! My attention is on my love for animals so I have plenty of availability to care for your pets. I’m available on weekdays anytime and most weekends I will make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I’m happy to follow your instructions and keep their routine consistent!
“Grace is a literal god send. I think she had one review when I reached out to her which is always nerve wracking and of course I am worried my glowing review will mean she may never be free for me in future lol but she deserves it. I honestly can’t say enough great things. Communication was stellar, punctual, professional, responsible, respectful, kind, funny, patient and very considerate. A gem of a human. I feel like I won the doggy sitter lottery. If I could leave 10 stars I would. Grace is a class A++++ person. I know she won’t be doing doggy sitting forever and whatever career she goes into.. wow they will be so lucky to have her.”
“Jo-Anne is THE BEST! She was very communicative and took time to send thoughtful updates which I really appreciated. In addition to being such a great caregiver to Darla she left my home in immaculate condition which she did not need to do. I look forward to having Jo-Anne back anytime! You will, too.”
“This was our very first time utilizing a house/pet sitter and we were quite anxious about having someone stay in our home and taking care of our two pups. It was also our first time using Rover. Tawny and her sister Haylee were absolutely amazing. They provided feedback with pictures throughout each day and followed instructions for feeding and medication just as we asked. Everything was in good order when we got home and we couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you Tawny and Haylee.”
“Lindsay stayed at our house for a few days while we were out of town. She watched our fur babies like they're her own. Will definitely use her services again - actually, we already have her booked for an October trip we're taking!”
“Georgia was awesome and kept me informed as well as sent pictures during her visit. My 15yo had stopped taking his meds and Georgia got him to take them with no problem 👍 Georgia is my person when I have to go out of town, I highly recommend Georgia... She Is The Best 👌”
“Overall, WONDERFUL experience! We had a last minute day trip up to the mountains for a graduation and she was able to watch our pup for the day. Great communication and no worries about how our little Leia was treated. I highly recommend her for any upcoming bookings you need!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10 years old because I grew up on a farm. Family, friends and neighbors have trusted me with taking care of there pets such as walking, bathing and feeding. I have taken care of puppies and elderly dogs and I am also currently going through the process of becoming a certified pet trainer. I’m a full-time college student and mom, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m home a lot and can make time throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, and check-ins. I’m also able to work around your pet’s normal routine so they don’t have to feel like their schedule is being completely changed while you’re away. I live in a townhouse with a fenced-in patio where pets can safely get some fresh air and play. I have pets of my own who are friendly, but I’m also happy to keep them separated if your pet is more comfortable on their own. I’m big on making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I’ll follow any instructions you leave for me.
About: Hi, all! Years of living with and caring for pets and working as a veterinary assistant has led me to be attentive, knowledgeable, and most importantly, so loving to any and all animals. I currently care for a pup, cat and ducks in my life. I intend to care for your pet as if it were my own! I am easy-going, flexible and willing to abide by any reasonable requests in care-taking. This won’t be considered “work” for me. It’s a bonus for the joy of spending time with and caring for animals and helping out pet parents as well :) I hope to meet you and your pet soon! Krista E. As far as my schedule, I am completely open during the daytime. I work evening shifts five days a week, but my schedule changes weekly. For walking: 1-2 walks a day from the hours of 8-3. I can also do night walks on days that I work, outside of the hours of 3-10ish, depending on the day. If I am off, I can walk at any time in the day or evening. I am willing to make multiple visits in a day. For House Drop-Ins: Similar to above, the evening times may vary. For House Sitting: I receive my schedule weekly, so I am available for overnight at least twice a week. However, if consecutive days are needed, I will be available for morning and afternoon care, but will have to leave for work and return afterward at night. Again, this time varies, so it will be either 3-8:30/9ish that I am gone, or 4-10/11ish. I can understand if this is an issue, but am willing to walk during the day, feed, and let out for a potty break as soon as I am able. I do not accept pets in my home because of the other animals already here, but as far as in yours, I am clean, courteous, quiet, respectful, and most importantly, there to keep your pet well-cared for, entertained, and at ease.
“You’re not going to find a more attentive and caring house and pet sitter than Michael. I am so happy and relieved that our paths crossed and will only be using his services going forward for further needs. His care for my home and 3 cats went above and beyond. He cleaned my fridge, first floor, and windows! One of my cats got sick repeatedly, even requiring a vet visit and home medication administration, and Michael tended to these needs with enthusiasm. You won’t go wrong choosing Michael to look after your home and animals!”
About: I’ve taken care of every type of animal from cows, bunnies, and chickens to horses, dogs, and cats since I was born, very pet friendly. I’ve even had a chameleon and plenty fish. My schedule is very flexible, I can do pop ins, walks, and I can even take pets to a river to play and run around I will accommodate all dogs needs bathroom wise, food wise, and I will make sure the pet has lots of play time, pets will be well taken care of, happy, and all needs/wants will be met

FAQs for House Sitting - Tabor City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tabor City on Rover is $70.62 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 340 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tabor City. 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 Tabor City 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 Tabor City 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 Tabor City 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.
