About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals since I was ten, I even have 5 of my own, so I'm experienced in behaviors, grooming, and administering medications if they're needed. I can do overnight stays and check ins during the day. I can do fill day stay overs, but will need a few days notice to make it work. Im very big on slow introductions and making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable around me. My own dog and cats are rescues so I know how nervous new introductions and new people can make animals.
“Bobbie was a revolutionary sitter. We’ve never had such good communication and trust with someone we didn’t know. She took the best care of our kids and house. We came home to a clean home with clean sheets and was so flexible when our plane was delayed by 5 hours coming home. We will be using her for everything and every trip forever on moving forward!!”
About: Hello! My name is Leila (pronounced Layla), and I am 25 years old. I am looking for a role as a pet provider of any fashion needed. I consider myself a kind, nurturing, and supportive individual who loves every pet or family member as if they were my own. With over 15 years of pet experience, I have worked in shelter facilities and lots of individual homes with many different pets. Most recently, I've been providing nanny services for date nights in my area and every house has one or more fur baby that I spend my time with. I am familiar with feedings, walking, medication techniques, and even one house I sometimes help take their dog to the vet with them! I have worked with cats, dogs, ducks, chickens, rabbits, turkeys, and when I was younger, I had a house with horses as well. I've worked with up to 6 dogs at once, all big/energetic dogs, so I know how to handle big and loving energy haha! I even know cat and dog CPR from learning online and doing research on my own in case I ever need it. I love learning new facts about animals and pets, and I definitely love to learn the basics of emergency situations and care too, which always comes in handy whether you need it or not. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your pet(s), building a special bond and friendship with everyone involved. I strive to be a dependable person and always aim to provide my best support to others. Hope to hear back from you soon, thank you for your time! I usually have an open schedule and I’m always happy to help however and whenever. I’m usually at home with my own animals anyways so I’m always down for more fuzzy cuddles! I treat each and every animal as if they were my own (and I spoil my pets like crazy)! I follow the instructions of each family down to a T if that’s what needs to be done and if there is any room for my own input or festivities, I always try to make it more fun or loving or easier for everyone involved. Pets have emotion and feelings just as much as babies do, so if you’re going to care for any animal, treat it as if you’re raising a baby, something precious and sweet, because that’s what they are.
“Katy is an absolute gift to the Rover community. Leaving our dog and cat with a non-family member for the first time was nerve-wracking, but Katy immediately put all our anxieties to rest. From the moment she walked in for the meet-and-greet, our pets adored her. Even my normally shy cat—who usually hides from visitors—came right out to greet her. Honestly, it felt like our pets had known her in a past life; that’s how comfortable they were! Katy is reliable, punctual, and goes above and beyond. She asked all the right questions, sent some of the best photos of our pets we’ve ever seen, and even came early and stayed late to make sure our dogs got extra potty breaks. Her detailed updates and genuine kindness made being away so much easier. I almost hesitate to leave this glowing review because I know everyone will want to book her, but she truly deserves it. If you book with Katy, you won’t regret it!”
“Emma did a great dog with our dog while we were away! Made sure she got outside and our fur baby was surprisingly calm when we arrived back home. It stormed and she even rescued my windchime and picked the over abundance of veggies that ripened while we were gone!”
About: I've had 15 years experience with pets, senior and young dogs. I started dog sitting around 16 years old. I can feed, walk, bathe, and give medications if needed. I have multiple animal handling experience from pets to livestock. I have shadowed veterinarians and taken some veterinary education courses. I'm available for pet sitting through the weekdays and weekends. I can also provide walk, potty, and feeding breaks about every 2 hours during the weekdays and weekends. I live in a home with a large yard. I live close to park for walks or for other exercise. I also have experience dog sitting within the client's home. I am quite, clean, and respectful inside others homes.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, I have dog sat for my sisters and friends. I can feed, walk, and bath them. I care for my pets as if there my children and I would do the same for any pet! I got to college online and work a full time job Monday through Friday, when I’m not working I’m home with my pets! They enjoy relaxing with me and my Niko loves car rides! I can do drop in visits and dog walking on weekends any times! Message me and we can definitely work something out! I live in an apartment so I don’t have much of a yard so when it’s not super hot I take Niko on walks let him run around, he enjoys laying outside and chillin. He has so much fluff the heat gets to him ☺️
“Ava came into my home to watch my two dogs and agreed to watch my iguana as well for a week. I received picture updates and the pets seemed happy and healthy when I got home. Overall she seemed to do a very nice job and I would recommend her for your pets”

FAQs for House Sitting - Whiteville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 304 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whiteville. 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 Whiteville 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 Whiteville 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 Whiteville 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.
