“We can’t say enough positive things about Debra. She was incredible with our very rambunctious and energetic pup, and treated her like gold. She loved her and cared for like she was her own, and was also great with our cats. She will be the first person we look for when we are looking for someone to care for our pets. We highly recommend her.”
“This was the first time I left Skye who is deaf with someone I didn’t know from Anita‘s reviews, I felt very confident that she would take care of her. Anita sent pictures which I was really super happy to see. When I got home Skye was very happy to see me and felt great that she really took a liking too Anita.. I would definitely recommend and call Anita when I need someone to take care of Skye.”
“This was my first time boarding my dog, Pheobe, and needless to say she had a wonderful week here. Daily updates with photos/videos included, walks and lots of play and love. The communication was top notch, and she cared for Pheobe as if she was her own fur baby. A very trustworthy sitter & I will be booking again!”
“Stacey was amazing with my boxer, Piper! She is so sweet, very informative, and extremely reliable. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind on my long trip, and she even continued checking on Piper after the visit. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her pets, and I would absolutely book with her again!”
About: I like dogs better than most humans if I’m being completely honest haha, I’m in school right now and just trying to make some extra money while doing something I love! I can’t wait to take the best care of your dogs! I waitress some nights a week so I am mostly free during the day and some nights. I also have a boyfriend who is more than willing to help out. I do have an unfenced yard but I have a line to connect dogs to and let them run around, I live in a nice quiet area right by CCU campus so it’s perfect for walks. I have 1 roommate who is great with dogs as well. We keep our place clean.
About: I have been dog sitting regularly for family and friends for 2 years now! The dog breeds have ranged from smaller dogs like a Frenchie to larger breeds like German Shepherds. I am unable to have a dog at the moment and so I love dog sitting/ walking dogs so I can spend time with them! I am available any time/ day since I work fully remote with a flexible schedule! I can also be available for multiple hours or visits during the day! I treat pets as if they were my own! I am a more cautious and observant person when it comes to caring for animals. I always have my eye on them to ensure they are not eating or doing something that may harm themselves!
“We absolutely love Tawny taking care of our Pearl! She and her daughter spent a week here and we loved seeing the two become the best of friends! Tawny makes sure to take care of your place - to include laundry, dishes, trash, even cleaning it up before we arrived home - all without being expected of her. She really does go above and beyond and she will be our forever fur babysitter! Pearl adores her and her daughter so that’s obviously a huge bonus!”
About: My mother was a foster of over 2000 animals, so animal care is in my heart and I’ve always strived to make animals lives better. Recently moved from Dallas, Tx. To Myrtle beach my availability is as open as it’s needed. Extremely punctual and value your time as much as my own. To my best degree, I have always believed that animals should be treated as an extension of yourself, with the same care, respect, and attention you give your own well being.

FAQs for House Sitting - Tabor City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 332 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
