“Once again, Michelle was amazing and super helpful. Due to a death in the family I reached out to Michelle with minimal notice and she was incredibly helpful. With all of the stress and pressure of dealing with a death in my family it was comforting to know that Annabelle was well taken care of. Thanks again Michelle and to all those out there looking for a sitter for their pet there is none better than Michelle!”
About: 4+ years of experience with dog-sitting & cat-sitting. I would love to get to know you & your pet! Provide strong communication while keeping owners up to date (including pictures), feeding pet on schedule, following instructions routinely, playtime, dog-walking, cleaning cat litter, and giving your pet quality time & the care that they need! More than happy to provide reference & resume! Currently working on my schedule, but it is open to part-time right now until I can find a job. I’m very flexible with my schedule. I can work weekdays & weekends. I have two cats at home! They are indoor cats and my top priority. They are my fur babies. Always make sure their litter is taken care of at least twice a week, fed twice a day (my kitten 3 times a day), and give them plenty of attention. When I'm on the go, I am always checking on them with my camera.
“Joshua did amazing watching our two dogs. They are super energetic and playful and he was able to keep them worn out by the end of each day. He took very good care with their regimented feeding and sleeping schedule. Would definitely recommend.”
“Mae was absolutely incredible!! She went above and beyond our expectations to make sure our dogs were happy, cared for, and comfortable! She spent a great amount of time playing with our dogs and she also had excellent communication with sending us updates and pictures while we were away! Mae stayed in our home overnight for a couple nights to watch our dogs and she was extremely respectful of our home as well!! We have now found our go-to person with Mae and we (and our pups) 🐶 couldn’t be happier!”
“Kendall was a huge help to our family while we were out of town for a few days! She kept in contact and sent pictures throughout her stay. We had an initial meet-and-greet with our pups and they instantly loved her! Will definitely ask for her pet services in the future!”
“Katelyn was very communicative and organized in preparation to watch our three pups. She was prompt getting to our house and very loving towards our dogs. We plan to book with her again!”
“We loved working with Jennifer! She was so accommodating for a last minute booking and really worked with our schedule for a meet and greet despite her busy day. She sent us lots of pictures of our boy and he seemed to have a lot of fun! Would highly recommend!”
“Haydyn came to our rescue when we had a family emergency. I was only able to give her 2 days notice and she even managed to fit in a meet and greet. As others have said, she’s a great communicator, enthusiastically loves the dogs, and goes above and beyond in every way. It was pure luck that I found her, but she will always be my first choice when finding care in the future.”
“Miriam was an attentive overnight sitter for my two senior pups. Provided lots of pictures and videos and kept me up to date on their meals! Will book her again next out of town trip!”
About: My parents realized I needed a dog in my life when I was child because I would try to pet my fish... ;) As a family we've had dogs since I was around 6 years old. I began dog-sitting for a neighbor when I was in middle school and that included helping care for two puppies when I was a bit older. Over the last few years my petsitting/housesitting relationships have steadily increased. I've helped friends by caring for their puppies, dogs, senior dogs, kittens, cats, and even a bird! Before I moved to NC I had keys for about 5 friends' homes since I am on standby for pet-sitting duties when they go out of town. My boyfriend and I are the proud parents of 1 dog, 2 cats, and 21 quail chicks! I am currently working 8:30am-5:00pm Monday-Friday in Holly Springs but hope my schedule works to care for your fur babies! I am typically very flexible during weekends. As someone who had an escape artist dog growing up I know the importance of safety, including keeping doors closed. I'm familiar with many different types of leashes, halters, Gentle Leader, even muzzles and am confident in using any your dog may utilize. I am also happy to crate your puppy/dog if needed.
About: My approach to pet care prioritizes keeping your animals nervous system regulated while changes happen to their daily life. You will receive thorough updates and assured peace of mind that your fur babies are in good hands! I own my own business so the time set aside for animal care is blocked off completely. Your animals will receive my undivided attention and you can rest assured that they are my top priority! Caring for animals in their home environment means allowing them to reduce the stress of changing environments. Let me come to you and your pets will thank you for it!
“Sadie is awesome!!! She took excellent care of our pups and our property. I got updates and pictures whenever they were fed, enjoyed outdoors time, or just did something adorable (which is often). It really helps me relax on vacation knowing that my precious boys are in good hands. I’ve already booked her again and plan to continue to do so whenever we need to travel. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello! My name is Isabel and I'm a Research Coordinator in the Psychiatry Department at UNC. I have taken care of animals for years. Have watched dogs, cats, and birds. Feel free to reach out and I can provide more information! I can watch your pets overnight at my house or at yours if you prefer. Have a lot of availability in the evenings and on weekends. I'm very flexible when it comes to how you'd like your pet to be watched. Every animal is different and has a unique set of needs.
About: I’ve taken care of large and small dogs for 5+ years for my own, neighbors, family, and friends…walking and feeding them, and bathing them when necessary. I work from home so I can pet sitting in your home and keep their routine consistent. I can do any day of the week. I take time to play with your pets in your home with their toys. Feed, Exercise, and snuggle them! I give them lots of love!
About: After moving to the USA, I joined TrustedHousesitters to travel — and in just four years, I’ve stayed in over 50 homes across America. But when I’m at home, I miss having a pet of my own. That’s why I’ll be so happy to welcome your furry friend into my home, so they can feel safe and loved while you’re away. I work online, so I’m home all the time — except when I go to the gym. Welcome! Small, grown-up, well-behaved — or not so much I have a fenced yard and no pets, which allows your pet to feel comfortable and enjoy peace and privacy throughout the property. 🐾my love
About: I love caring for all dogs. Ive been taking care of dogs for the past 10 years. I love taking my dog for runs and walks at Cape Fear Valley River Trail and around my neighborhood. My dog also loves going to Riverside dog park to play with other dogs. Our house has 3 open rooms and a HUGE fenced in backyard with lots of room to run, so we love to play fetch as well! My current dog, Ellie, LOVES to play with other dogs and would be a great buddy. I am a very active person and would love to get your dog out for walks in our peaceful neighborhood. Our home is very pet friendly and I really enjoy caring for and spending time with dogs :) Available full time! I am currently taking classes, so I am home mostly full time. I will be able to be with and watch your doggo all day! I have a big fenced in yard and a dog of my own to keep your doggo company and to run around and play with. I live in a peaceful neighborhood that is great for walks!
“Karley was a great sitter for our dog! She keeps you very informed about how your dog is doing and sends you many pictures. She also responds back very quickly when you write to her. I would highly recommend her. We have already asked her to watch our dog again while we are out of town.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Trails End
Michelle has been our overnight pet sitter for two separate bookings, and has done an excellent job both times. She took very good care of our home plus our 70 lb. brindle hound, taking her for several walks each day and making sure to keep us updated along the way. Michelle is very responsible and thorough, and ensures that she understands all of the needs and routines of your household/pets.
I appreciated Chasydi taking the time to visit my dog several times while we were away. We have an anxious puppy, and Chasydi was careful not to push her too much, but to let her get familiar with her. We also appreciated Chasydi keeping the house neat during her stay and during her in-and-out visits. She shared photos and reassured us that Ember was okay.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Trails End is $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $62 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.

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 Trails End 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 Trails End 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 Trails End 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 Trails End. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
