“Another fantastic visit by Cheryl. I received pictures of all the dogs multiple times. Knowing that my animals are safe with Cheryl gives me peace of mind to be able to travel.”
“Another great sitting session. Akira rolled our trash can in when she didn’t have to and ran the dishwasher. Rufus was happy and well behaved. She sent pictures and videos. Akira was in constant communication. I already have her booked again. Leaving my baby at home with someone I know is taking care of him makes traveling less stressful.”
“This was a last minute booking. We had to leave for NJ when my father died and Kelly stepped up for us. She did a wonderful job taking care of our three dogs. One has diabetes and needs insulin shots twice a day and is also blind. Kelly had no problems with the shots or with bonding with our babies. She kept us updated, which was wonderful. Kelly even did some unexpected cleaning during her down time, which was unexpected, but so appreciated. I would not hesitate to recommend Kelly and would definitely use her again in the future.”
“Jessica was great! She stayed at my apartment with my mina for a couple of days while I went out of town. Mina got a few walks and Jessica even cuddled with her and administered her medicine (which is no easy feat). They had a great time and Jessica sent many photos throughout her stay. She left my apartment in great order. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“John was so good with my dogs and cats, I immediately felt comfortable with him caring for them. The pictures and videos he sent showed content and happy pets that were having fun and clearly enamored with him. The house was tidy and everyone was happy and relaxed when we arrived home. Thank you!!”
“If I could’ve given more than five stars, I would have!!! Aaliyah was fabulous! We love her the dogs love her. The house was in perfect shape. I can’t thank her enough!”
“Nicole has watch our senior dogs twice, and I’m looking forward to the next time. She also noticed the heat was stressing out some of my plants and she watered them without me asking. Which was much appreciated!”
About: I have had dogs in my life since I was a baby and I truly dont think we dersve how pure and amazing they are. I used to dog sit during highschool for my neighbors and even now when friends go out of town I am always open to have their pup at the house or watch them at theirs. I have trained 3 dogs from 7 weeks old so I am able to help you out at any age pup you have. I will love on them like they are my own and I cant wait :) I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to work from home some days a week. I am never gone for more than 4 hours in a day but can always adjust my schedule if I am watching a dog that cant have me gone long. You tell me your needs and I will work around that. I have one friendly pup of my own named kona and a private fenced in dog park that is normally empty that I bring her to a couple times a day. I usually go on a couple walks a day so I can do as many or as few walks as your pups needs :)
“My partner and I went away for the weekend, and Tyler housesat and watched our two very hyper boxers. He was the best with them, played with them, and cared for them as if they were his own. He was very communicative throughout the weekend and sent us photos of the pups every day. We will definitely be contacting him next time we need someone to watch them!”
“Brooke is really great with dogs! Boone seems to really like her. She sent us pictures of him throughout the day and was very responsive when we had a question. She’s flexible with your schedule and needs and does a lot to accommodate your pups needs. She slept with our pup each night.”
“We were gone for a week and our pets were well taken care of. Mary would visit once a week for a few weeks before we left to let the dogs get used to her. This helped tremendously! She sent daily updates and pics. We will definitely use her again when we go away. It removes a giant burden knowing our pets are well cared for while we’re gone.”
About: I’m an experienced and lifelong animal caregiver with a strong background in caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I grew up around dogs and have raised multiple pets from puppy and kitten stages through adulthood, giving me a solid understanding of animal behavior, socialization, and daily care needs. I have extensive hands-on experience with large-breed dogs, including my 150 lb Labrador, who I trained in obedience, leash manners, and routines through consistent, positive-based training methods. I also have a mini Dachshund, so I’m comfortable with small breeds, their unique personalities, and their care needs as well. In addition to dogs, I care for two one-eyed cats, which has built my experience with special-needs pets requiring extra patience, attentive care, and gentle handling. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter maintenance, medication assistance if needed, enrichment activities, and creating a calm, loving environment for cats of all temperaments — including shy or anxious pets. I prioritize safety, comfort, routine, and affection to make every pet feel secure and loved in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, enrichment, training reinforcement, or extra cuddles, I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs to ensure they feel at home while you’re away. Because I attend school part-time and complete most of my coursework from home, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m able to be home throughout the day, which means more consistent supervision, playtime, walks, and companionship for your pets — not just quick check-ins. My routine gives me the ability to accommodate morning, mid-day, and evening care, with availability for overnight stays, extended visits, and last-minute needs. I’m able to adjust my schoolwork around pet care, ensuring your pets receive reliable, steady attention and a calm, loving environment. My home is set up to provide a safe, calm, and welcoming space for the pets I care for. I have gated-off areas both inside and outside, which allows me to separate pets when needed for comfort, feeding, rest time, or safety. This setup is especially helpful for pets who prefer their own space, are shy, or need a slower introduction to others. I also have friendly pets in the home who are used to being around other animals, but introductions are always done carefully and based on what is best for your pet. Whether your pet enjoys social time with others or prefers a quiet, private space, I can accommodate their needs. Your pet will have a secure environment, plenty of supervised time, and a comfortable area where they can relax stress-free — just like home.
About: I have experience caring for multiple dogs in the same household, including managing individual routines, feeding schedules, walks, and medications. I’ve cared for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I’m comfortable handling up to three dogs at a time. I focus on calm, consistent care and clear communication to help dogs feel safe and settled while their humans are away. Hi, I’m Tara — a calm, attentive house sitter with a deep respect for animals, routines, and the homes I care for. I work remotely as a Creative Wellness Guide and Poet, which allows me to be fully present with pets throughout the day while maintaining a steady, flexible schedule. I’m currently based in the Raleigh–Durham area and enjoy caring for pets while exploring familiar neighborhoods or new places at a relaxed pace. I’m naturally observant and patient, and animals tend to respond well to my calm presence. Whether your dog enjoys walks and companionship or your cat prefers quiet consistency, I follow their lead and keep their routines steady. I take pride in maintaining a peaceful home environment, caring for pets thoughtfully, and communicating clearly with pet parents. House and pet sitting allows me to combine my love of animals, nature, and travel with meaningful, responsible care. It’s a privilege to support both pets and their humans so everyone can feel at ease while apart. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay in their familiar environment and routines. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and household guidelines. I’m attentive to safety, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are supervised and comfortable throughout the day. I respect each home as if it were my own and aim to keep the space calm, clean, and well maintained. I communicate clearly with pet parents, provide updates as requested, and reach out promptly if I notice anything out of the ordinary with a pet’s behavior or health.
“Aja was absolutely amazing and by far and away the best dog sitter we have ever had. Her professionalism, attentiveness, and attention to instructions is something we should all strive for in our respective fields. My wife and I had absolutely zero concerns about the well-being of our doggos with Aja, which made for that much more enjoyable of a trip for us knowing they were in the absolute best hands. 10/10 WILL book again.”
“I had a great experience with Jennifer! She stayed in my home and took wonderful care of my two very energetic (and sometimes chaotic!) dogs. From the moment we met, I could tell she was comfortable handling high-energy pups, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated with messages and photos, and it was clear my dogs were happy and well cared for the entire time. What really impressed me was that she even worked on some training with them during her stay. That extra effort meant a lot and showed how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I came home to two happy dogs and a house just as I left it. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter.”
“Chrisztina was amazing with my pet furry boys. She sent me videos and pictures every day. She understood that Oscar has never being boarded or left our sides since he was two months old. Charlie was adjusted fine. Oscar likes to follow us around the house or he is in his home. I believe he knew that we left him as he followed Chrisztina everywhere too. I love Chrisztina for her get go personality. She really does care care about animals. Also, she’s very reasonable, too reasonable. She should increase her fee.”
“10/10 HIGHLY recommend Jacob! 😊 He was punctual, followed all our instructions perfectly, and went above and beyond to keep us updated with daily pictures and videos! From our initial meet-and-greet to the entire week of watching our two dogs and cat, he made us feel completely at ease. His kindness, great communication, and attention to detail were truly appreciated. We will be booking with him again!! Thank you Jacob for everything!”
“We were nervous about leaving our fur babies for the first time, but Nicole made the experience reassuring and positive. Both our cats and dogs were clearly happy and well cared for. It meant so much to come back to a clean home and happy babes! We’ll absolutely keep her in mind for future trips!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,058 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Union Hope. 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 Union Hope 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 Union Hope 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 Union Hope 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.
