“Cristin was wonderful. She was kept us updated on their wellbeing -sending pictures periodically of them and even won over our timid pointer. We will definitely use her to watch our fur babies in the future”
About: Coming from an animal loving family and already volunteering part time at the Humane Society, I just can’t get enough of walking dogs — especially big ones ! My family’s dog, a total mixed breed that we raised from a puppy, is a modest 80 lbs. Before we got him, I grew up with a border collie and a cattle dog mix, so I deal well with high energy breeds. I’m happy to take them on 2+ mile walks multiple times a day. I have always had dogs, so I have a lifetime of experience raising, training, and taking care of them. I currently work part-time as a French teacher, frequently online, so I have a lot of free time to spend with your pet. Plus, if I am staying long term at your house, my students will love to see your pet pop up on my Zoom video! I can adapt to whatever your pet needs. If you have a pet that just needs feeding and a potty break/litter box scooping, I can provide that. If your pet is a little needier and needs playtime, ear rubs, and someone’s lap to sit on, I’m also eager to provide. I understand that each animal is different.
“Charity was amazing! She stepped in and helped us when we needed someone to come and take care of our dogs last minute. She showed care for our home, make sure the dogs were cleaned up a little bit after having a muddy time outside, and just show them love and care while taking care of them! We will definitely be using charity again !”
“Look no further if you’re looking for someone to love your fur baby! Melissa did an amazing job taking care of our Bailey! She even went as far as to send us nightly text and pictures! I will definitely be booking her again as Bailey has a new friend!”
About: I’ve been a dog mom to my Golden Retriever, Ellie, since I was 9 years old, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Along with raising Ellie, I’ve also helped care for family and friends’ pets over the years, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and routines. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. Whether they love long walks, playing outside, or just getting lots of attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets throughout the week. Outside of class, I have availability for walks, drop in visits, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I enjoy being active, so spending time with animals fits naturally into my routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I will care for them with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own dogs. I will always follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, and provide a safe, calm, and caring environment.
“Abigale was wonderful!! She was great with communicate before during and after. She sent me photos during the stay and kept me up to date. I would highly recommend her and would love to have her watch my pup again!”
“Madeline was the PERFECT fit for our family! She was amazing from start to finish. We got daily updates and photos and she was so easy to communicate with. We can tell that our home and our pets were very well taken care of and we’d be happy to have Madeline back again!”
“Alexandria was a phenomenal pet sitter! We felt completely at ease and were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing our animals were in such good hands. She cared for them as if they were her own—attentive, playful, and always keeping our dog company. It’s clear our pets love her and feel comfortable around her. We’ll absolutely hire her again for any future travel!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little girl, and I grew up with them in my home, I treat every animal as if they are my own! I work 12 hour shifts, but I have a consistent schedule so I have days off during the week and every other weekend off to help ease your mind with letting your pet out for breaks or a nice walk! I have a fully fenced in yard with two dogs, I have a French bulldog named Winston and an English bulldog named meatball. Both of my boys are very friendly.
“Emily was an absolutely exceptional dog sitter for our Frank. From start to finish, her communication with us was outstanding—she kept us consistently updated and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond by sending plenty of pictures of Frank, which we truly appreciated and looked forward to. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. On top of that, we came home to a clean and well-kept house, which was such a thoughtful touch. We couldn’t have asked for a better companion for Frank and would highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter!”
“Donovan was amazing. He really cared about our furry friends as his own. He spent a lot of time with them in our home, and they were the focus of his attention, which set our minds at ease. He sent us lots of photos and updates, and he also took care of our home as if it were his own. I would be happy to work with Donovan again, and I know that he will take great care of Ringo and Ginger anytime that we are away!”
“Tyler is absolutely amazing !!!! She has great communication skills, very nice, and polite. She sends me pix of my princess all the time. She also doesn’t just feed her and take her out. She spends time with her, plays with her and gives her lots of cuddles as my Galaxy loves. As always thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. And Galaxy sends you kisses !!!!”
“We appreciate everything you did Ruth! Great communication, reliable, went beyond our expectations. Our trip would not have been the same if we didn't have you watching our pets and home. Highly recommend!!”
About: Through my life I have experienced taking care of family pets, from the puppy stage to crossing the rainbow bridge. I often think I love animals more than people. I am currently working from home part time with flexible hours, so I can play with and cuddle your fur babies as much as they want. I can board, pet sit or just walk your dog weekdays or weekends day or night. I have a fenced in yard with one senior dog. I can crate a dog up to 40lbs. We can go for walks if desired.
“Abby was great with my two pups while I was away at a wedding. She arrived during the expected time frame and followed up during the stay and before she left! Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 15+ years! I grew up with 2 dogs and went on to be a dog mom for 2 of my own. I also supported friends with their dogs on the side and have experience with both small and larger dogs. I am very comfortable with taking care of and treating your dogs like they are my own! My schedule is open and flexible right now, allowing me to be available after 9am on weekdays and available 2 weekends each month. My schedule is open to change for house sitting needs. Safety and trust are my top priority! Your dog will always be supervised and have my full attention. I'm very attentive to your pets feeding schedules, medications, routine activities, and special care instructions. Communication is key and I ask that all your dog’s unique needs are discussed beforehand.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Weldon is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Weldon
This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn't have been more fortunate to find Gunner to care for my dogs on such short notice. I have two Lhasa Apsos who are used to having someone around most of the time. Bentley loves constant attention and cuddles, which can be a lot to keep up with, and Sully is deaf, blind, and allergic to nearly everything. Caring for Sully presents unique challenges and is no easy task. Gunner was kind enough to stay in our home so Sully could remain comfortable in his familiar surroundings. From the moment we met him, it was clear he genuinely cared about animals, and he treated both of my dogs as if they were his own. I know caring for them isn't always easy, but he handled everything with patience, compassion, and professionalism. For the first time in a very long time, I was able to truly relax and enjoy my vacation knowing my dogs were safe, happy, and well cared for. That peace of mind is priceless. I would absolutely love to have Gunner care for them again in the future, assuming my two pups didn't scare him away! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter.
Alexandra is THE BEST! She takes amazing care of our pets and goes above and beyond to take care of every little detail for their care. She is fantastic with communication and shares updates on how the pets are doing while we’re away. I never have to worry about our pets and that peace of mind is priceless!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Weldon on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,535 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Weldon. 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 Weldon 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 Weldon 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 Weldon 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Weldon. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
