“My second time using Katie and once again she was great. As much as I appreciate the excellent care she provides to Chester, I also appreciate the timely communication. I asked her to come over on pretty short notice and stay over night and she replied quickly. When I told her I didn't know exactly what time we would be returning, she let me know her schedule and that she could help out later in the day if needed. Anyone looking for a steady and reliable pet and home sitter that provides excellent care should give Katie a try.”
About: I've done pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors for most of my life. This includes care of dogs to include feeding, play, walking, and administering meds if applicable. I currently have a six year old English Bulldog who is a stubborn sweetheart and I regularly pet sit for a family member's pitbull mix. I will be available on marked days, most regularly weekends as well as selected weekday options as I have a flexible/remote work set-up. I take care of pets of my own (as well as children) so I can confidently fill in to care for your pet. I have reliable transportation and defined radius on my profile so I can arrange for several walks and in home check-ins and care throughout the day and evening. When/if I do board or care for a client's pet in my home, there is a fenced in backyard and one other dog in the home.
“Sabrina is the absolute best!!!! I feel so blessed that we found her. She’s such a kind person with the sweetest energy. The animals flock to her!! She’s the only person we’ll be using from now on.”
“Hannah was wonderful! Our boy can be a little particular and she handled everything with such calm and understanding. She was communicative and extremely flexible. We were so lucky to have found her!”
“Victoria was an amazing sitter for my dog Felix. Felix can be a bit shy but he warmed up her quickly. She sent me photos and updates every day, which I appreciated so much. I trusted her completely with my pup and my house and I’d highly recommend her for any pet needs!”
“Addie did a great job caring for our two high-maintenance pups for 5 nights. She provided daily updates with photos. We were really able to enjoy our vacation not having to worry about our pets or home. Thanks, Addie!”
“Cindy stayed at our house for a week while we were on vacation. Taking care of our zoo, 3 large dogs and two cats, plus a fish and hermit crabs, is no easy task, and she handled it wonderfully. The dogs and cats loved her! We have a skittish 18 month-old husky mix that warmed up to her quickly. She was conscientious of each of our pets' needs and kept me up-to-date via text and daily pictures. I would absolutely recommend Cindy!”
“Rosie is the Best sitter. You would be lucky to have her watch your animals. She stayed at my house for a week and walked my two Pitbulls every day gave them lots of exercise and took care of our cats and other critters. She sent us updates, and our house was in great condition when we got back I felt very comfortable leaving the animals with her and I could tell that they were all happy when I got back. She came by to meet the gang ahead of time and then came by again to pick up the key and go over everything again with me before I went out of town. I will definitely use Rosie anytime I go out of town or need a walker.”
“Kaila was amazing!! She took care of my German Shepherd while I was away for the weekend. She kept me updated the whole time and I’m so grateful she took such a good care of my baby!”
“Maria is the best! She was so kind, accommodating to our specific needs, communicated very well, and loved my kitten as if he were her own. We are incredibly thankful to have found her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”
About: Hello and thanks for reading my profile! I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was a little girl, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. Currently, I have a Great Dane of my own (his name is Saint) and regularly babysit three wonderful dogs (two goofy Mastiffs and one sassy little Basset Hound. l’m comfortable with everything from high-energy playtime to gentle senior care, and I treat every pet like family. I currently work 7:30am - 4pm on the weekdays. My office is pet friendly, so I can bring your dog to work with me if you need me during the week. Otherwise I can be available for evenings during the week. My weekends are usually completely free though! I make sure all pets are comfortable, well fed and get play time in. Dogs aren’t meant to be idle all day, and as an active person I love to walk dogs and have some playtime in the backyard. My pets and my client’s pets always get spoiled rotten with cuddles and kisses. <3
About: I’ve been caring for dogs among friends and neighbors for years. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while they’re in my care. Also, my schedule allows me to be home most of the day, which means frequent potty breaks, plenty of supervision, and lots of one-on-one attention! I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. Caring for pets is already a regular part of my life, so providing walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day is easy to incorporate into my schedule. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, maintain a clean, calm environment, and treat every dog like a member of my own family.
“Caleb was a pleasure to have watch our pups and house. He was flexible on schedule, and the dogs took to him right away. The house was left in good condition. We would definitely recommend.”
“Exceptional! Jaxon was professional, communicative, reliable and trustworthy. He took great care of our diabetic and blind older dog, administering insulin and watching her closely around our pool. He equally gave our younger Frenchie entertainment and attention. He truly went above and beyond. We highly recommend Jaxon!”
“Steph is excellent, she took such good care of Mac and showed him so much attention. Even with the crazy instructions we left she paid careful attention to detail. Communication was great as well! Mac's looking forward to seeing her again!”
About: I've had pets since I was a kid, from Rottweilers to Pekingese. I have experience with young pups, caring for seniors, and higher energy breeds. I've adopted all my dogs and have experience with crate training, leash training, and potty training. My home is very quiet and equip with a Big Barker, toys, a big back yard, and a quiet 5-mile road for walks. I'm home most of the time, outside of occasional weekend markets for my business. On those days, I would be available after 3 PM. I am a master student with flexible time to fit your pets needs. My house is very quiet with a big back yard and a quiet 5-mile gravel trail right out our front door. I'm able to feed, brush, walk, snuggle, and play to meet a pups needs.
“Nat stayed at our house to watch our Doberman for almost a week and we cannot recommend her enough! Outside of dog care, she kept our house clean and tidy and was mindful of using our space respectfully. She was intentional about getting to know our high energhy dog’s specific needs and preferences. We could tell she was very sensitive to making sure our pup was comfortable and at ease while we were gone. We received regular updates and she went above and beyond to make sure our dog was given ample attention, enrichment, and exercise. Our dog unexpectedly went into heat and also had some stomach issues while we were gone but Nat handled it calmly and expertly and kept us posted of any concerns or needs. We will definitely be using Nat again in the future and highly recommend her to other dog owners.”

“Kimberly (Kay) is a sweet girl who was great with our two older dogs. She was an excellent communicator, kept us informed about everything and sent lots of pics. She also took wonderful care of our house. We definitely recommend Kay and look forward to working with her again.”
About: I am a mother of four. I have a dog named Dixie. She is a German Shepherd and loving.I used to have a full bred pit, but we had to give him away due to living situations.I like when the owners leave me a note or text just briefly about their pets normal routine so I can make their fur babies feel safe and comfortable around me. Playing with their fur babies on their level is important so they understand I'm friendly and harmless. Taking them outside is very important to me,they get fresh air and exercise as well. I just feel it is important any pet understands and feels as they are family.To me every pet is worth spending time with, getting to know them and love them. Have a blessed day! My puppy herself is high maintenance and has lots of energy. Taking care of her has helped me learn how to manage time more wisely and be able to challenge her while on walks. I take their pets on walks, depending on what their pet is. Honestly it all depends on their daily routine. I wouldn't want to change anything that their pet is used to so I would go off what their owner tells me their pets routine is.

Anyone looking for a steady and reliable pet and home sitter that provides excellent care should give Katie a try.
We were going out of town for a few days and hired Katie to stay at our home with our dog Chester. When I first contacted her through Rover, she was quick to respond and seemed excited to meet Chester initiating a meet and greet which I appreciated. She was punctual (which means a lot to me), asked appropriate questions, and kept me up to date on her schedule in case we needed later assistance on the day we were returning home. I leave a lot of instructions and she followed them exactly. We returned home to a very happy dog and a home just as we left it. Hire Katie! You won't regret it.

FAQs for House Sitting - Tuscarora
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 4,177 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tuscarora. 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 Tuscarora 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 Tuscarora 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 Tuscarora 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.

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.
