“Mike cared for our 3 dogs and 2 cats while we were away for 6 days. He sent regular updates with photos. Our home was as we left it on our vacation, with happy and healthy animals. We especially appreciated the care for our elder dog that was best provided at home. This was our first time hiring a pet/house sitter for our home. And our first time using Rover We typically take our dogs with us and neighbors care for the cats. If we travel again without our dogs, we'll definitely try to reserve time with Mike.”
“We came back to a lovely, well taken care of home and happy dog. We seriously cannot thank Charlotte enough for the job she did. It’s nice to know that we can plan trips together out of town and not have to worry so much about Natty. Charlotte will definitely be the first person we contact for any future house/dog sitting needs!”
“Vanessa did a great job watching our dogs and really went above and beyond when a freak storm rolled through and knocked out the power at our house for over nine hours! She was an absolute trooper and kept our dogs comfortable and happy through it all. That level of dedication and care really exemplifies the level of care she provides her customers and its why we continue to trust her to watch our dogs when we go on vacation.”
“Kristine was great with communication. She seemed to spend a lot of time with Ruthie, and Ruthie seemed happy when I got home. I will gladly leave Ruthie with Kristine again.”
“I am so thankful that I found JR to take care of my precious pup! I’ve always been able to leave her with family or friends and neighbors when away from home so this was the first time having someone else take care of her. And I couldn’t have found anyone better than JR. She bonded quickly with my dog and they had a great time together. Always updated me with great photos and updates and took great care of the house as well. I just hope she’s available next vacation!”
“Anthony did a fantastic job taking care of our fur babies and our home. We found him to be very trustworthy, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. He showed a lot of patience and compassion with our high-energy puppy, which is no small task. He kept us updated daily with messages about their activities and how they were doing, which we really appreciated. We also came home to a clean, well-kept house. It was clear he treated our home and pets with care and respect. We would absolutely trust Anthony to watch our pets and home again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive sitter.”
“Thanks to Meaghan, I was completely comfortable leaving my cat and my house in her care while away. She's a very calming presence and quickly made friends with my cat, as well as giving her medicine and watering my plants. She had a family emergency that meant leaving for the weekend but let me know promptly so I could make other arrangements while she was away. I will definitely hire her again.”
“Phinette is an AMAZING sitter! She went above and beyond taking care of our dog and house. She kept us updated throughout her stay and sent us lots of pictures of our pup! We will 100% be booking Phinette again!!”
“Chelsea did a great job staying with my dogs for the first time ! We got many updates and pictures throughout the each day, and they seemed very happy when we returned!! Thank you so much!”
“Christine was truly the best sitter we could have asked for, and Honey and Maple absolutely adored her. She watched my girls for two weeks while we were overseas, and I honestly could not have felt better about leaving them with her. She treated them like they were her own and was so attentive to all of their little quirks. Somehow, without me even telling her, she figured out things like how they like to be tucked in when they go to sleep. 😂 She really got to know them and their personalities while we were gone. Honey and Maple are also very much sighthounds, so they come with some specific challenges. They can be picky about eating, and when they get playing too hard, they have a tendency to accidentally tear their skin. Christine handled both so well. She played with them constantly to keep them active and interested in eating, and she was so attentive to their play that she could redirect them before they got too rough. I came home to two happy dogs with no issues at all. She was also an amazing communicator and took great care of our house. More than anything, it was obvious how much she genuinely loved the dogs. I felt like she cared for them just as well as I would have, which is honestly the highest compliment I could give a sitter. I would trust Christine with Honey and Maple again without hesitation, and we will absolutely be hiring her again. If you are looking for someone who will really get to know your dogs and care for them like her own, I cannot recommend her enough. ❤️”
“Kristina was amazing! Our animals fell in love with her and it seemed like they had their own vacation with how much fun they had. Kristina was overly communicative in the best way possible with media updates and texts. 1000% recommend if you see your animals as family who deserve endless love.”
About: Bye Raleigh, Hello Fuquay Varina! I have been living in Fuquay with my boyfriend, we are currently saving up for our wedding! We know how expensive dog boarding can be and want to provide great service at a reasonable price! We both have watched pets for neighbors, families, and friends for many years. I previously watched animals in Raleigh on Rover when I was living the single life. Andrew works from home daily while I am hybrid so your dog will have very minimal time without human/dog interaction. We do have 2 dogs (65 pound lab staffy mix & 30 pound terrier mix) and 2 cats, the dogs are very dog friendly and the cats stay upstairs and usually avoid unknown dogs. We prefer if a dog is cat friendly but can make accommodations to keep the animals separate if a dog is not cat friendly. We have a large fenced in back yard and have a good walkable neighborhood for dog walks! We will take great care of your pup while you are away! Your dog will come home exhausted from a fun weekend of play! I am hybrid and Andrew works from home, it is easy for us to provide round the clock supervision for pets. We both have weekends completely off and make the weekends all about the doggos Our dogs will keep your dog/dogs company, both are very dog friendly and not toy or food aggressive. We have a crate your dog can use or dog can be uncrated depending on preference. At night we prefer all the dogs to sleep in our room or to stay downstairs with a baby gate so the cats can roam.
“Rissa was amazing with Zoey!! This was our first experience with leaving our 7 month old puppy and Rissa helped us feel comfortable leaving our precious baby girl. She loved on Zoey and kept us updated with pics while we were out!!! ☺️”
“Matt took great care of my two large dogs! He came to meet them prior to taking the booking so that we were both comfortable. He stayed at our house for a week and we had zero issues! He gave daily updates with pics of our dogs, which was very reassuring, and asked questions to be sure of our preferences. Upon return, our house was just as we left it and the dogs were safe and happy. I have recommended Matt’s services to a friend and will absolutely book him in the future!”
“Vanessa was fantastic! She sent me updates each day and even kept me posted when the weather got nasty for our outside dog. We will be using her again soon for sure. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone traveling out of town needing a dog sitter. Thank you again!”
About: We are the perfect place for your high energy pooch! We have frequently watched dogs for our friends and family for years. My 4 children love to play with them, care for them, and love them while their families are away. We are well versed on dogs medium through large. My dog may be to hyper with small dogs. We do not have a cat. I work from home so I'm available for your dog. We are here most holidays and weekends unless traveling ourselves. We are flexible to work with your schedule. We are a family of 6. We have a fenced in backyard, and a dog of our own, Axel. He is a large dog, and plays like a puppy. We love animals, and currently have chickens, fish, and a guinea pig.
“Courtney provided outstanding care for our puppies! We had a last minute weekend getaway and she couldn't have been nicer and more professional. We highly recommend her and look forward to booking future appointments. Thank you Courtney!!”
“Natallia was great with Duck! She was very communicative and made sure both Duck and I were comfortable when I had to leave! I will definitely work with Natallia in the future and highly recommend her!”

Vanessa was fantastic! She sent me updates each day and even kept me posted when the weather got nasty for our outside dog. We will be using her again soon for sure. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone traveling out of town needing a dog sitter. Thank you again!
Mike was wonderful with Oscar and Ava and took great care of them while I was away. He was reliable, communicative, and followed their routine and instructions carefully, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs and my home just as I left it. I would absolutely trust Mike with them again and highly recommend him!
Chelsea provided house sitting for our French Bulldog and English Bulldog for 2 weeks while we were overseas. She sent daily updates and pictures. The dogs seemed happy in the pics! There was a problem with our air conditioner which was taken care of the very next day. She handled the situation like a champ. We had to extend our stay for one extra day. Chelsea was very flexible and accommodated our request to add another day. We returned home with our house in order and very excited dogs. We will continue to use her services because she is dependable, flexible and kind.
Met Kaylee before the dog sitting. For her to meet the dogs. Kaylee was very good with meeting the dogs and understanding expectations. Kaylee is responsible. This young lady has good life experience. At first met with the dogs they settled right in with her. I’ll use her again.
We were incredibly fortunate to have Meyling stay in our home as a live-in pet sitter in December. From the moment she arrived, our animals took to her immediately, which gave us complete peace of mind. She was caring, attentive, and clearly very comfortable around animals. Throughout our time away, Meyling kept us consistently updated with messages and photos, which we truly appreciated and found very reassuring. Our home was well cared for, and our pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved when we returned. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Meyling to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring pet sitter, and we would happily have her back again.

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 Wilbon 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 Wilbon 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Wilbon 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.
