“We are so happy with the loving care ty got. We booked last minute and they were so accommodating and great with the cat and provided updates and photos to make us feel at ease”
“Nancy’s first stay with my pets was exceptional. Being away (and out of cell service) for a week is a huge leap of faith and Nancy delivered in full and then some. The pets were happy and well tended. She left extensive notes and updates for my return and even when above and beyond in a handful of the responsibilities we had discussed. She will be my first stop for all future house sittings without a doubt 🧡🖤🖤🐾”
About: I love animals. I’ve grown up with dogs and have had 3 dogs myself. I will care for your furry children like my own. I currently have 2 dogs, chihuahua mix and a poodle mix. They get along with other dogs really well. I can administer medicine and I’m a former pharmacist! I have a campervan with AC and would love to take your pup camping! I work remote and can stay at your home full time to care for your pets. I won’t leave them home alone more than 4 hours. I love going for long walks and I’ll take them to parks if that’s what they like. Play fetch, cuddles, and they can sleep with me if they want as well!
“Terry was incredibly accommodating, communicative, thoughtful and immediately bonded with our new rescue pup, Goose! He was very respectful of the house and made our time away an easy one because we never had to worry about the caliber of care our dog was receiving. Will hire again and recommend with no reservations!”
About: I grew up with every sort of animal imaginable, and I'm always happy to spend time with all the cats, dogs, birds, and other critters out there when I have the chance. I have extensive experience caring for animals all over the world including off-grid, remote, and city environments. I am semi-retired and location independent. My schedule is highly flexible, and I'm happy to work with pet parents on making mutually agreeable pet care schedules. I am happy to stay with pets in their own homes to ensure that they get the care and attention to which they are accustomed.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for every dog I care for. With 7 years of experience, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I treat each dog like they’re my own, giving them plenty of attention, care, and comfort while making sure they feel safe and happy I am currently working full time from 10:30-8 pm I am available all day on Wednesday’s and Thursdays! I am more than happy and willing to keep your fur babies happy on my days off. If i need to adjust my schedule to match yours, please let me know :) I have an open back and front yard that is on private property. I also have 4 dogs that will keep your doggie company :) I can also crate your dog if i have too!
“Sophia was an absolutely excellent pet sitter. My dog Brodie can be picky and needs a lot of care and he loves her. She is very communicative and treated my space with the utmost respect. Would certainly work with her again!”
“Our 6 animals had the BEST time with Mikaela! They can be a tricky group and sometimes shy but not with her, they loved her immediately. She stayed with them while we were away for the weekend, She is SO caring and thoughtful and we felt at completely peace while on our vacation. Our animals were in the best moods when we returned! Wow, 10/10 one of the best sitters we've ever worked with.”
About: It is my pleasure keep your fur babies in your home and following your routine. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, chickens, ducks, and alpacas. I am a digital nomad with familial ties in the Seattle area. I grew up in East Texas and traveled the globe before I moved to the Seattle area in 2003. I have lived all over Puget Sound: Eastside, South King County, the Peninsula, and Everett. After three years in Nashville, I returned to the area in the summer of 2025. I love collecting new stories and finding beauty everywhere I go. Pet sitting gives me the opportunity to keep writing my contemporary women’s fiction novels while being close to family and PNW scenery. I have a tremendous love and respect for the animals that we share the planet with. I will follow your instructions for how to best care for the beloved animal(s) in your home.
“Sarah was great with my new puppy. When I originally booked I had a senior dog as well, and unfortunately I had to put him down the day that Sarah was arriving. She was understanding, and flexible with my time change, and kindly provided a refund since she would only be watching one dog. She communicated very well while we were away and kept me updated with pictures. She was also flexible when we ended up coming home a few hours later than originally scheduled. She stayed in our home with our puppy and I would not hesitate to use her again.”
“Natalie is amazing! She has been watching our pitbull every Monday for the last month or so and we always come home to a happy and well-cared for puppy. She’s very relaxed and sweet, easy to trust, and most importantly loves Peony. We love having her over and would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve been taking care of neighborhood dogs and dogs that my parents friends have had since I was in elementary school, and I have an 11 year old miniature poodle mix that I trained myself but I’ve always loved dogs of all breeds. I have experience working with tiny and huge dogs, anxious dogs, reactive dogs, high energy dogs, special needs dogs, untrained dogs, heavy pullers, and puppies of various ages. I’m also quite strong and can handle big/rambunctious/reactive dogs with ease, so you wouldn’t have to worry about whether or not I can safely handle your dog. I’m currently back from college for the summer and don’t have a lot going on (aside from taking care of my own dog) so I’m home and available all day most days (aside from when I occasionally go stay with my long term girlfriend for a weekend or so). I decided to start working with Rover because I love animals and I’m happier when I have such a fun reason to get some exercise and leave my house :) I have a large grassy (and freshly fenced) in backyard to play in and make sure to routinely check the integrity of the fence and that there aren’t any potential hazards in my backyard. My dog is quite the lounge-around-inside-where-it’s-cool type, so if you would want your dog to have some off leash time in my backyard, even reactive and dog aggressive dogs wouldn’t have issues because they wouldn’t be anywhere near my dog. I also make sure to follow house rules and instructions to the letter (and am strictly no shoes in any house ever) and keep my clients updated on how things are going with photos, videos, as well as update messages. All potential clients are encouraged to meet up with me before entrusting their pets to me, and if you have any interest in your dog having some off leash time with me in my backyard I would be more than happy to give you a tour. Not only those things- but any other requests you may have that can help give you peace of mind when it comes to entrusting me with your fluffy loved ones are encouraged.
“Silas went above and beyond for our pets! She watched our 4 dogs and 2 cats while we were out of the country. She was a great communicator the whole time. There was an issue with an appliance in the house while we were gone and she kept me updated and helped coordinate the repairs. She also sent photos and updates of the pets. We really appreciate that she treated our fur babies with love while we were away.”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing. We loved having her take care of Kernel at our place and could tell Kernel instantly loved her. Stephanie is super down to earth and having her watch Kernel was one of the easiest, most stress-free Rover experiences we’ve ever had. She sent us lots of updates and left our place spotless. We can’t wait to have her again!”
About: What Sets Me Apart I provide more than just pet sitting—I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I also trained my own dog, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and clear communication. I treat every pet in my care like my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am currently in school. And would love to take care of your pets in the afternoons. I can check in on them and give them afternoon walks, treats and pee breaks, whatever you and your pet may need! How I Care for Pets in Your Home I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, potty breaks, and any special needs. I give pets plenty of attention and affection while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I also keep their space clean and tidy and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wautauga Beach
Jessica was great. She took excellent care of our pup and I didn't worry at all while she was here. She was also an excellent house guest and kept our place clean and tidy during her stay. I would highly recommend her and will definitely have her back the next time we need a sitter. ❤️
Audrey was wonderful and exactly what we needed for our three pups. Our older dog has sever separation anxiety and Audrey stayed here all day with him and our two 1 year old puppies. She was calm and they were great for her most likely because of her calm demeanor. We are so happy with her and would recommend.
Miranda is amazing!! She stayed at our house and with our dog Kiwi for 4 days. Kiwi loved her and when we arrived home, our house was immaculately clean. I could tell as soon as I met Miranda, that Kiwi would be in excellent caring hands. I would highly recommend Miranda and will definitely book her again.
Mel and Kelly are the best! They are responsible and conscientious, and they clearly spent lots of time doting on our very spoiled kitty. Zoya seemed to really enjoy having their company, and was entirely comfortable with them from the start. We feel very fortunate to have found Kelly and Mel, and I highly recommend them!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wautauga Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Wautauga Beach is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $55 and $80 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 October 2026, there are 7,806 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wautauga Beach. 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 Wautauga Beach 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 Wautauga Beach 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 Wautauga Beach 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 Wautauga Beach. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
