“I would absolutely book with Ava again. She watched my two dogs overnight in my home and I think she did a great job. She sent plenty of pictures and updates on the dogs and she followed all of my care instructions. To top it off, Hurricane Helene was hitting NC at the start of our trip so I am very grateful Ava was there taking care of the pups!”
“Brad was great. Very communicative he took tons of pictures and took a very good care of our pups. He left the house in excellent condition we couldn’t have asked for a better experience thank you so much.”
“This is the first time we had a dog sitter other than family, so we were a bit nervous. However, Bri kept us updated by sending us multiple pictures and videos a day. Our dogs loved having Bri around! She also kept our house the same way we left it as well. We would definitely use her again in the future 😊”
“Christine helped us out of a bind - the night before leaving our puppy for the first time on a 4 night trip we had to make other arrangements because of the sitter we had reserved not showing up. she came and stayed at our home and did a wonderful job with her ! We were already apprehensive about leaving her and to have that happen at the last minute it was such a blessing to find such a professional Dog Sitter. We highly recommend her. She left our home in great condition and was an excellent communicator which made us feel comfortable while on our trip. We highly recommend 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!”
“Leslie took wonderful care of my dogs & kitty. She even took the added step of rinsing out our farm animals swimming pool & water trough. Exceptional level of care, will absolutely rebook in future!”
About: I’m Lawrence and I love dogs. Pet sitting is so rewarding! I also love that I have the freedom to work at home, while caring for animals. You’ll love that I’m able to spend the entire day with your dog so I can get to know their personality and individual needs. Customers remark say I have calming energy that animals feed off and creates a great environment for their care. I pay the utmost attention to the owner’s wishes and perspective as well as the dog themselves. I treat and respect every stay as a unique experience and hope to connect with you to create a respectful and symbiotic relationship. I live in a cozy home in Norwalk with Gabby. Our neighborhood is dog-friendly and perfect for walking. The streets are calm and you can rest assured your dog is in safe hands when walking around my neighborhood. We have a great park across the street from my house which, with your permission, I’d love to take your pup to. I have a range of experience with all sizes, breeds, and personalities of pups. I grew up with Shepherds and Labs but have spent time with many dogs. My fiancé Gabby will be there as well to provide extra cuddles. My clients have fallen in love with her natural ability and calmness. She’s a great partner and your pup will be lucky to have us both in their care. When I’m not spending time with pups (or when I am), I enjoy relaxing with Gabby, developing video games and skateboarding.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life. I currently help raise 4 dogs. I’m very reliable on feeding, bathing and potty breaks. I’m available all through the week and weekends so just talk to me about the days I can work with you with my care and assistants. I’ll have all the time in the world to play with your fur babies. And Will give them all the love and attention. I provide attentive, compassionate and reliable care for every pet as if they were my own. In the clients home i will make sure pets have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, medication instructions, and special care they require. I also keep their environment clean, monitor their behavior for any signs of illness or stress, and communicate with owners by providing updates and photos so they know their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal to ensure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and loved while their owner is away.
“Great communication, went about and beyond, showed up early when I miscalculated our departure time and did a great job at keeping in touch to let us know the pups were good. We will use her again!”
“Jeffrey was so great taking care of our dog, we got morning pictures and I felt so relieved we had him to watch Pete! He was also a super respectful house guest and helped us with some packages that came through. Can’t recommend Jeffrey enough!”
“Victory is wonderful! I’m always at ease knowing Victory’s at the house and love seeing all the great pictures of our dog and cats looking so happy. Victory is super responsible and responsive. Definitely recommend!”
“Ben is amazing sitter for our Rufus!!! He is constantly interacting with Rufus, working with him on sitting, heeling. He is following our schedule for Rufus , Ben really cares about his individualized care needs. We had a bad experience at a local kennel and thanks to Ben we are completely comfortable to leave Rufus in his very capable hands. Ben has also introduced Rufus to his own furbaby, Mara. We absolutely love little Mara , Rufus has 2 new friends now!!! We highly recommend Ben and Mara for house sitting services 🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🥰🎉”
“Ethan was absolutely amazing with our anxious English Bulldog for overnight dog sitting! He took the time (and multiple visits) for George to become totally comfortable! He was excellent and very knowledgeable about dogs and their personality quirks! 10/10 will be booking him again!”
“Brendan stayed at our house for 3 nights & took very good care of our dog Archie. When I arrived home Archie was calm & happy - always a sign that he was well cared for in our absence.”
“This was our initial time using Rover. We are very particular with our fur babies. Kristina was very welcoming and assuring. We had a meet and greet with just her and then with our girls. I left having every confidence in her ability. We were gone for a week and she sent daily photos and updates. She treated our girls like her own. We will definitively be using her services again, and I highly recommend her. Thank you so much!”
“Christine was absolutely wonderful. I knew both of our pets were in good hands the entire time we were gone. We came back home to a clean place (cleaner than how we left it) and very happy pets. We would 100% recommend her.”

Breanna was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of out sweet girl and was very responsive and communicative; she sent updates several times daily and even had a little form she sent with feeding times, potty times, etc. She stayed in our home and kept up with the routine and I can't say enough good things. We are looking forward to booking her services again :)
Kelsey was absolutely wonderful with Romeo during our 5-day trip! She took excellent care of him in our home and was reliable, attentive, and clearly genuinely cared about Romeo’s wellbeing. Romeo clearly loved her and was completely comfortable in her care. She took pics and sent us daily updates. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while we were away. We would definitely book with Kelsey again and highly recommend her to other dog parents!

FAQs for House Sitting - Troutman
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Troutman on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,260 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Troutman. 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 Troutman 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 Troutman 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 Troutman 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.

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.
