“Alphine took such incredible care of our dog, Luna, and our cat, Dullahan! She was clearly comfortable with larger dogs and even went above and beyond to walk Luna despite our complicated requests around her leash reactivity. It was easy to communicate with Alphine throughout our trip and we felt confident our pets were in good hands because of it. Alphine also took incredible care of our home. We can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Alessandria kept my three dogs for a week. They were all fine when we returned. Regular updates were sent with pictures. The house was clean when we returned home. I would definitely use her again.”
“We are so lucky to have found Aquila! She took great care of our fur babies which allowed us to really enjoy our vacation. She was communicative, providing updates and asking questions when necessary. She made sure that she was providing the highest standard of care to our dog and cat as possible. She kept the house in great shape and even thoroughly cleaned before leaving! We highly recommend Aquila for pet/housesitting!”
“Mardi did an incredible job taking care of our cats and home while we were away for a week! She followed our instructions perfectly, sent regular updates and photos, and left our house in even better condition than when she arrived. I’m usually a little anxious about leaving the cats when we travel, but I was able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing everything was safe in her hands. I will absolutely book her again the next time we need a cat sitter!”
“Our pup is not usually 'open to new relationships' but she quickly warmed up to Claire. The weather posed significant challenges during Claire's stay but she managed everything with aplomb. Great job!”
“Rose was great with my two dogs and watching the house. She was very communicative and left the house cleaner than when she came in. Will definitely be reaching out to her in the future for my dog sitting needs.”
“Emily has watched Hummus a few times now and she’s been great every time. She’s always on time, stays overnight, and leaves my home clean and respected. Hummus loves Emily. She provides updates daily. She even noticed that Hummus was licking her paws a lot and let me know! Emily cares and it shows.”
“Ana is the BEST! Super responsive and sends photos throughout her stay. The weekend was a breeze knowing our dog was in such great hands. Would absolutely have her sit for us in the future!”
“Cameron was amazing. My dog is very nervous and doesn't open up to anyone new, not even sitters I've had for years. As is her usual, I told Cameron she likely wouldn't even come out of her crate for him, but I got pictures of her playing tug, getting belly rubs, and lying by his side. I was astonished. Cameron checked in regularly and sent tons of pictures and videos. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve taken care of over 10 cats and dogs, including animals with special care needs. I love watching and taking care of such kind amazing critters and would love to continue doing so by helping out and connecting with the members of my community. I work in the afternoons on weekdays from 2-8pm. When I keep animals I always make sure to prioritize their care before my social engagements or any errands that I may need to run. I love taking dogs on long walks and petting and giving love and attention to all animals. It’s important for me to devote my time and energy to taking care of the animals in my care so no matter what they get a lot of my attention. I also am a very clean person and clean after myself and the animals when staying in someone’s home.
“Jade took great care of our rescue dog! Our dog has some behavior issues that require his sitters to be extra attentive. Jade did a great job following his routines and being sensitive to what he needs.”
About: I am currently in Law School, and I am pet-sitting to save for the NCBar exam costs. I have been pet-sitting since high school, and I grew up around dogs. My love for animals shows in the care I provide, and I'll make sure your cat/dog/other pet stays safe, comfortable, and well-fed. Here are a few fun facts about me: 1) I have two dogs back at my family home - a Yorkie and a Yorkiepoo (the Yorkie, named Sam, is 18 years old!!). 2) I volunteered at a Local Bunny Farm in Chapel Hill for three years during undergrad. 3) I bring my dogs from back home up to my apartment on occasion, and dog-watch for my law school friends! I am currently in law-school, and my classes occur during the morning and afternoon. However, my couse load is light, so I will be able to spend a good amount of time with your pup (or other pet!) inbetween and after classes! I will keep you updated via text or phone, everytime I enter your home, take ur pet outside, and feed them. I will also make sure to secure your home before leaving!
“Suzanne was so great! She sent so many updates throughout the 5 days I was gone! She left the place cleaner than she found it! Was super communicative!! I would book her again in a heartbeat.”

Kellie was great with our dog and cat during our 10 day trip out of the country. She did a great job communicating, and was flexible with our travel plans, and we came home to happy pets and a clean house. Would definitely recommend Kellie and book with her again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Wilkerson Acres is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $67 per night.

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 Wilkerson Acres 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 Wilkerson Acres 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 Wilkerson Acres 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
