“Mardi did an incredible job taking care of our cats and home while we were away for a week! She followed our instructions perfectly, sent regular updates and photos, and left our house in even better condition than when she arrived. I’m usually a little anxious about leaving the cats when we travel, but I was able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing everything was safe in her hands. I will absolutely book her again the next time we need a cat sitter!”

About: I love dogs! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and started house sitting and dog sitting while I was in high school. I have a black lab mix named Lilo who is 9 years old and she loves play dates! I also have some experience with training dogs so I’m very patient and caring towards dogs of all ages and experiences! I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes too. I’ve taken care of a mastiff and a Yorkie together all in the same timeframe! I love going to the dog park with my dog and going on walks through parks. No matter what your dog likes to do, we will have fun doing it! Free after 5 or 6 each day and pretty flexible during any Friday! Willing to walk daily, drop in, go to dog parks, anything you may need. I take my girl on morning and evening walks to get her energy out! I would do the same with any dog staying with us.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Dogs seem to take to me well. I’ve worked as a junior groomer for a few months and trained my own dog. Not professionally, but he listens and understands. I’ve always loved dogs and been an animal person! I have an almost 4 month old baby so I have been a SAHM. I love to work and would like to help my family more. This way I can be at home loving on my son and also your fur babies! We just moved into our forever home due to my husband being retired Navy. We got married in Hawaii where he was stationed and I grew up. Our neighborhood was military and I would watch peoples dogs, board, check ins, walks. I worked at a doggie daycare and became close with a client who would bring her dog over to me to watch instead. Also, became very close with some people in the neighborhood whom I’ve take care of their dogs and now can say are friends like family!

About: I previously worked at a doggy daycare for a few months. The work included supervised group play, cleaning up messes, and taking them for walks. I take college classes on MON-WED which lets me use the rest of my time for taking care of your pets at any time of the day. I will travel to your home to take care of your pets or just spend time walking around with them, I am very detail oriented so I will follow whatever instructions you give me.

“Paris was very responsive to my questions, comments, and requests. I appreciated the care she gave my dogs. They are pretty independent but having someone there to keep them company and watch the house while I am gone gives me peace of mind while I am traveling.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! I grew up surrounded by pets and have always considered them part of the family. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly can’t imagine life without them! I’m currently a proud dog mom to Luna, my sweet, energetic, and incredibly smart 5-year-old pup. She’s my little sidekick and goes just about everywhere with me! Through years of caring for my own pets, I’ve gained experience with different personalities, behaviors, training, routines, and individual needs. I know every pet is different! Some love adventures, long walks, and endless playtime, while others prefer cuddling on the couch and relaxing. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. My home also has a spacious fenced backyard with three-rail fencing reinforced with hog wire, helping keep even smaller pups safely contained. It’s a great space for supervised outdoor playtime, exploring, and burning off some energy! I offer both boarding in my home and house sitting in yours. Luna accompanies me for house sitting, so I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone gets along! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets because I feel the exact same way about mine. My goal is to treat your pets like they’re part of my own family and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work full-time with a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to accommodate pet sitting around my work commitments. I’m primarily available every other weekend for boarding and house sitting, but I’m also happy to accommodate weekday stays with advance notice so I can plan my schedule accordingly. Whether your pet loves outdoor playtime, walks, or cuddling on the couch, I’ll make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’m happy to work around their usual feeding, exercise, and bedtime routines to help them feel comfortable and right at home. Feel free to reach out with your dates! I’m always happy to discuss availability and see what we can work out. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! My home has a spacious fenced backyard with three-rail fencing reinforced with hog wire to help keep dogs safely contained. There’s plenty of room for supervised playtime, exploring, and burning off energy! I share my home with Luna, my friendly, playful 23-pound pup who loves making new friends! I always recommend a meet-and-greet before boarding to make sure everyone is comfortable together. For house sitting, Luna will accompany me, so it’s important that your pets are comfortable with another dog. I’ll respect your home, follow your pet’s normal routines, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving hands!

About: I’ve always grown up around animals in a big, loving family that treats pets like family members, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I’m new to Rover, I do have hands-on experience caring for my own pets as well as helping family friends with dog sitting, check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and giving lots of attention. I genuinely love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m patient, kind, dependable, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your dog loves energetic walks, belly rubs, or just a calm companion, I’m happy to match their needs and make sure they’re well cared for. I’m currently a college student and I’m the Army Reserves taking one summer class and working part-time, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule this summer. I have plenty of free time for dog sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and giving pets the attention they deserve throughout the day. I’m especially available for families who need reliable help during vacations, work hours, or busy summer schedules. Because of my flexibility, I can often accommodate different routines and make pet care a genuine priority. Your pet’s comfort and safety are extremely important to me. I understand how important trust is when someone else is caring for your furry family member, so I always aim to provide dependable, loving, and attentive care. In your home, I will respect your space, carefully follow all instructions, and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and behavior to make sure pets feel secure and happy. I believe in gentle care, patience, and creating a positive experience so both pets and owners feel confident and at ease.

“Alexys was quick to respond and easy to work with. She took great care of my pets, one of whom is blind and has a lot of special needs. She sent me photos throughout the day and I could tell my two Frenchies loved her care and attention. Helpful, professional, trustworthy and caring. I had great peace of mind leaving my dogs with Alexys.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years and absolutely love getting to know your pets and you! I’ve cared for dogs, birds, rabbits and cats of all ages from energetic puppies to senior pets needing a little extra patience and care. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, administering oral medications, and supporting pets with anxiety or special routines. I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I treat every pet like my own and keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing. My goal is for you to feel at ease and your pet to feel happy and at home. I currently am in graduate school at Duke, so my schedule is flexible! That means I have plenty of time each day to play, walk, and care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, and I make sure every pet gets lots of attention and care throughout the day. I live on 13 acres of beautiful land with backyard access to trails, which gives plenty of space for walks and outdoor playtime. While the area isn’t fenced, I always keep pets safe and supervised during any time outside. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so your furry friends will have my full attention and plenty of company while they’re here. I also know many pets feel more comfortable staying in their own familiar environment, so I’m always happy to care for them in your home. I primarily offer in-home sitting and make sure to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.

“Meghan took great care of our dogs for the weekend while we were away. Our lab Anna loved playing with Yoshi and she took great care of our sweet older pit bull, Babette, who has numerous health problems...including diabetes with blood sugars all over the place. I received frequent updates over the weekend with pictures of my dogs and Babette's blood sugar levels which reassured me they were being well taken care of!”

About: Member of NC animal advocates united and volunteer at local shelters. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of every breed and age for 15 years+ from puppies and kittens to gentle seniors needing extra care. Vegan with a big heart. Neighbors, friends, and family alike trust me for reliable walks, feeding, caretaking, and companionship. I’m currently in online classes and working part time virtually, so I have plenty of flexibility and availability to caretake! My in person work is currently on hold. So I’m available on weekends, overnight, and morning. I currently have a friendly, well-socialized and pretty spoiled dog and a cat who stays with a friend. I can crate your dog if wanted, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s specific routine and house rules /any special requests in your household too. Long walks are perfectly ok with me.

About: After my senior dog of 15 years passed way, my love for animals has needed somewhere to go, and now I want to help take care of your pets like they’re my own! I have over 16 years of experience caring other people’s dogs, as well as my own. I care deeply about understanding your personal preferences/request as well as the dogs unique personality and needs. I work remote so I can be fully present when housesitting and have significant flexibility during the day. I will always ask questions if I am unclear on any expectations and send frequent updates just the way I want when someone’s watching my dog! I love all different dog personality, types, and energy levels and meeting people and animals where they are at. I work remote so I have 24/7 flexibility and can work around your needs and schedule. I am adaptive and sensitive to your specific care needs. First, I learn the pets specific personality traits, and needs, and clarify with the owner of anything that is unclear or any questions I have. I make sure I’m always readily available to send updates pictures and notes about how the pet is doing because I know how important that is for myself when someone’s taking care of my dog to have that piece of mind and frequent updates.

FAQs for House Sitting - Timberlake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Timberlake is $28 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $28 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 1,263 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Timberlake. 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 Timberlake 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 Timberlake 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 Timberlake 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Timberlake. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
