“I can’t thank Jordynn enough for the great care of my pups who have vastly different personalities. One sweet girl Nina who never wants to leave your side and could play all day and then my shy old man Dewey. But Dewey warmed up to her so quickly and I could tell Jordynn truly cares about animals. She was courteous, timely and thoughtfully communicative. Even though I was going to be without cell service during part of my time away I always returned to pics and updates. I look forward to booking with her again.”
“Autumn was wonderful. Pax loved her immediately, it’s how she interacts with him that made him feel comfortable and safe in the first second of meeting. Autumn is very quick to respond and we love the updates and pictures.”
“I'm so happy to have met and worked with Penny! She came over before her first house-sitting gig for a meet-and-greet and everyone loved her calm, easy-going, and trusting nature. Penny's professional approach and great communication skills were something I really appreciated. I strongly recommend her!”
“Robin was great!! My pup loved her and she was not at all intimidated by his high energy and ill-mannered behavior. She communicated with us before and during the stay, and sent pictures. Sherlock was entertained and she even was able to get my very picky eater to finish his dinner. I highly recommend her.”
“Michael was fantastic!! We were on vacation for about ten days and I feel like we never had to worry the whole time and could enjoy our time away. Michael provided ample exercise and individual attention to our energetic and highly anxious pup and also gave our cat tons of playtime and cuddles. Our place was spotless when we came home! Would 100% recommend.”
“Anna is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our two dogs and two cats, and was really good about communicating. She even sent us pictures of our fur babies, and updates on how they were doing. She was super respectful of our house, and is so kind and great with our animals. Our cats and dogs warmed up to her quickly and she genuinely cares about them! I recommend her highly--you won't be disappointed!”
“Spencer is fantastic! He took excellent care of our dog, Windell. He was responsible, sent pictures every day and did everything he was supposed to do, and the place was in good order when we returned. I would highly recommend Spencer for the care of your pet. Thanks, Spencer!”
About: I’ve taken care of family pet since I was 16 and could drive. I would pet sit/house sit for my grandpa and her 2 dogs, I also dog and cat sat for my aunt I only work a couple of days a week and I’m wide open besides that for the moment. I am starting college in the fall but there shouldn’t be to much difference in availability. I love all pet and understand the importance of treating a pet with the utmost love. I will follow any instructions you as the owner puts in place, you can rest assured that your pet will be taken care of!
“Allison sent me lots of photos with details about her time with Khya so that I wouldn’t worry about her! She also left our home even cleaner than we left it. I can tell Khya had a great time, and I will definitely use Allison’s services again.”
“Eunice was amazing with my golden retriever puppy! She took care of all her needs and showered her with plenty of love and attention. Communication and photo updates were provided as well to show how much fun my little pup was having. Eunice was quick to respond and I appreciate her accomodating my last-minute request. Looking forward to next time!”
About: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve cared for animals for family, friends, and neighbors, including feeding, walking, bathing, and providing daily care. I’m comfortable handling energetic or shy personalities. I’ve also cared for disabled dogs, which taught me the importance of patience, awareness, and building trust with pets that need extra support. I always focus on making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in any environment. I treat every animal like my own and pay close attention to their individual needs and routines. I’m also very communicative and will send regular updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m currently building my pet care business, so I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to pets in my care. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, and I also offer boarding depending on availability. I always try to be flexible and work with your pet’s routine and needs. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I pay close attention to their behavior, body language, and routine so they feel secure and relaxed. I make sure pets are always supervised, in a safe space, and handled gently. I follow all instructions closely and keep routines consistent to reduce stress. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they stay happy and active.
“Wendy is a dream pet sitter! She stayed with our two dogs for two days, and the entire experience was seamless. It was immediately clear how thoughtful and caring she is; our dogs were happy, relaxed, and well-loved in her care. Wendy is also exceptionally tidy. We were thrilled to return to a spotless home after our trip. It gave us such peace of mind to know both our pups and our house were in such capable hands. We would welcome her back in a heartbeat!”
“Shalindra was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Kahlua, while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way, even accommodating a last-minute flight delay and staying later than planned on her birthday to make sure Kahlua was cared for. We loved receiving daily updates and photos, and it was clear Kahlua had a great time with all of the park adventures and extra attention. When we returned, Kahlua was happy, freshly bathed, and our home was spotless. Shalindra was incredibly respectful of our house and treated both our dog and our home with so much care. We felt completely at ease knowing Kahlua was in such capable hands and would gladly trust Shalindra again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Jordan was great. She communicated with detailed texts and pictures. Which the other sitters I used had not. She paid attention to our needs and our detailed lists of notes. She kept our house very clean and even washed the bedding she used and put it back on before she left. (Which she did not have to do) She was also thoughtful enough to want to buy us a new coffee creamer that she used. But I told her there was no need to do that. We’ll ask her to sit for us again for sure!”
“BEST Pet/House Sitters Ever! We lost 1 of our fur-babies, which resulted in us not being comfortable leaving 1 cat a lone and taking our dogs to a kennel as originally planned. At the last minute we were scrambling to find someone willing to stay at our house with our cat that lost her cat-mate and our dogs that lost their little cat-brother and they were all showing signs of grieving. We luckily found this amazing family and they took care of our fur-babies just like they were theirs. Mimi, Mackenzie and David were communicative, sent pictures, snuggled with our critters, let them sit on their laps and made sure they had plenty of exercise too. We feel so fortunate to have found Mimi and family! If we weren't relocating to another state I would continue to book with them. They are really kind people and were AMAZING with our cat and dogs.”
“Brian stayed with Leeroy Bku for his second time recently and we really appreciate him and his attention to detail. Brian has been great staying at our house with Leeroy and has even helped us water plants and also with other additional small requests. You can tell he’s a true dog lover and has helped Leeroy manage some allergy/skin irritations while we were out. Thanks Brian!”
“This is the second time I’ve had Jordan take care of my animals. The dogs are well taken care of and act like they barely missed me. My house is usually cleaner when I get home than when I left!!”
“This was our first time using an in-home sitter for an extended stay and Valerie was absolutely amazing! She was so patient getting to know our pup ahead of the booking and took wonderful care of him. He has allergies and she was so great about helping him feel better, even asking about trying a few things she had done for her pets. Lasso can’t wait to hang out with Valerie again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wautauga Beach
We have an energetic and timid puppy who has the best of times with Ryan, whether relaxing in the house or out on a long walk or playing with Ryan's dog. Ryan keeps us regularly updated with wonderful photos of our cat and puppy and we feel very comfortable leaving them in Ryan's calm and confident care.
Pamela was wonderful with our pup "Rio!" He's normally a bit shy at first meetings but he took to her almost immediately. She was great at giving us daily photos, updates and even a lovely written "Rio Report" at the end of her stay. We had to reschedule our flight and Pamela was very accommodating when we had to return for one of the nights she was scheduled to stay over. Both times we arrived home to a very happy hound and tidy hearth.
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!
Kimberly was absolute fantastic watching our boys while we were on a work trip. Her communication was excellent with tons of pictures and videos putting our nerves immediately at ease knowing they were in great hands. 10 out of 10 experience and will definitely be reaching out again!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wautauga Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wautauga Beach on Rover is $79.92 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 8,002 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 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.
