“Meghean was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of Tiger and Sky, kept me updated with messages and photos, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for them and treated them like her own. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for pets. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much, Meghean!”

About: I bring over 2 years of experience pet sitting, ranging from small barn kittens to large golden retrievers. I bring a friendly, warm approach to caring for pets ensuring they’re well loved and taken care of as if they’re my own. I believe in strong communication with pet parents and love sending pup-date pictures to bring ease of mind, let it be you’re on vacation or have a full day at work! My love for animals began at age 5 when my neighbor Miss Peggy had a liter of kittens, and had my sister and I name them and care (play) with them. I also had a pet turtle and chihuahua growing up. The rest is history! I’m currently a part time student working towards an elementary art teacher certification. My schooling is online, so I am very flexible with my schedule and am able to do quick drop-ins to overnight stays as needed. Let it be a quick drop-in or overnight stay, I ensure to pay attention to all details and instructions left behind to ensure your pet is cared for with the utmost excellence. I make sure to read your pets’ feelings and honor them by providing them the care they need to feel most safe and loved, as if they were my own.
About: ✨Thanks for choosing Holly’s Dog Sitting We have been in business over 7 years, Pet First Aid and CPR certified, and an official LLC with insurance to cover your pets! I work remote so I’m able to be with your dogs all day for boarding. We have cared for dogs of all sizes, from 5lbs to 90lbs, from puppies to seniors. I’m VERY communicative, so much so you might have to ask me for LESS updates lol. You can expect 20-60 photos a day (condensed into 2-3 updates). For your first day, I always send an update within 2 hours so you know how they’re settling in. You NEVER will wonder how your pet is doing with me. We require proof of vaccines and ask that you schedule a trial daycare with us before boarding. The trial helps to acclimate your dog to our environment and also allows us to see how your dog is with us when you’re not around. We welcome you to explore our place when you drop off so you know where your dog is staying! We are able to accomodate dogs with frozen or refrigerated meals, we just ask that you prepare them in advance. Because this is a business for me, I do ask that we keep drop off and pickup to specific time frames below. Keep in mind, since I work from home I might have meetings 9-5. Monday-Thursday: 7:30-6pm; 8-9pm Friday: 7:30-6pm Saturday: 9-1 Sunday: 9-9 Since I work remote, I’m with your dogs from morning till around 6pm. I usually work out 6:30-7:30 or do any errands during that time, then it’s back home to care for your pups! Safety and prevention are my top priorities. Dogs are supervised when together, so I can watch their body language. I also require trials before boarding so I can do a temperament test with each dog and learn about their quirks and behaviors. Dogs are never fed together or left together unsupervised. Even for something like going to the bathroom or switching the laundry, I will separate them for their own safety!
“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing to work with, easy to communicate with and was comfortable taking care of our senior dog. She went above and beyond and we are so very grateful for her and will definitely be using her again in the future!”

About: I have an 8 year old black lab mix named Annabelle. Prior to adopting her, I have always had a pet in my home. I have had a previous black lab, Lily who passed 2 yeards ago and a golden retriever. I have been dog sitting mostly for friends and family for a few years now, but I wanted to reach out beyond that and see who else I could help. I am good with dogs of all sizes. I love dogs and haven't been without one my whole life and I know what it's like to have to leave your best friend hom while your away, so I can provide that care and love for them while you can't be there. I also love cats, mine made it to 21. I work a flexible scheudle so can work with you on your schedules and needs. I can alter times/dates as well if needed. I am welcome to changes as needed. I have a fenced in yard with my dog. But I prefer to come to your home where the animals are most comfortable and feel safe
“Dawn and Steven are amazing! This was my first experience using Rover and they made the experience better than I ever imagined! They sent multiple pictures throughout their stay and put my mind at ease that my boys were happy and safe! I highly recommend them to anyone!”

“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!”

“Kayden was great! You can tell she has a way of getting pets to quickly get close with her. My pup Roman is battling isolation anxiety, and was very happy to have Kayden come by. Not only that, but she went above and beyond with updates and even keeping my house very tidy! She goes above and beyond. I am super grateful for her and will be rebooking :)”

About: My favorite childhood memories are that with my German Shepherds Carson and Lady and my Chihuahua Nukiums. When in college I dog walked and pet sat my boss' French bulldog Beatrice and her lovely cat Ms. Kitty. Though Ms. Kitty only used me for a quick rub and for me to fill her bowls, Beatrice and I went on plenty of errands together. Currently I have a Silky Terrier named Rocky, a cat named Nipsey (who hides from visitors:), a rabbit named Daisy and two pet loving children who would love to have playdates with your furry family member. My kids and I have lots of energy. We are used to walking Rocky and letting him play in the backyard several times a day from 6am-9pm. If you would like a friendly dog walker, or someone to check on your cats I would love to help! I even enjoy watering plants and taking care of exotic pets if needed. I am a teacher so I am off during the summer and would otherwise add your pet care and checkins into my daily routine. I also have two kids ages 8 and 14 who love animals and will sometimes ask to come along and help out. I usually walk my dog once a day and let him enjoy the backyard for 5-15 minutes (depending on the weather) three times a day. However, I prefer to cater to your schedule which is why I usually request to have a meet and greet.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Troutman
Madison took such good care of our babies while we were overseas and it gave us such peace of mind! While we were gone she gave us regular updates and sent us the best photos of the girls. We could tell that they were cared for and super happy with her while we were gone and seemed so content when we got back. She also left our house in great condition. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a reliable sitter that you can trust and we would definitely use her again!

Dana wooed all seven of our animals who warmed to her immediately. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! She took such wonderful care of our dogs and kitties and treated them like they were her own. She is incredibly personable, kind, and an absolute sweetie—and our animals absolutely loved her! She kept us updated on how everyone was doing, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious how comfortable and happy our pets were with her. We would absolutely trust her with our fur babies again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, dependable, and genuinely wonderful with animals! ❤️🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Troutman is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $98 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 2,152 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 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 Troutman. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
