“Matthew took good care of our very large, reactive dog while we were away. He sent us photos daily and was good at communicating if he had any questions. We will definitely be asking Matthew to watch our pup next time we go away.”
“Shanisa was absolutely amazing! She was able to accommodate a last-minute sitting request. We certainly didn’t make her job easy with big asks, but she was able to make us very happy pet parents! I highly recommend her.”
“Leslie was so wonderful- I haven’t left my 3 little guys without family in over 10 years. They are very nervous little guys and have some quirks - she made it all work and made them feel safe. Sent me pictures and updates 2-3 times a day. I could not be more grateful!”
“Elizabeth was great with Daffodil. She showed up when she said she would and communicated with us throughout her stay. She asked to take her to a dog park and our dog loved it. Would definitely use Elizabeth again in the future.”
“Thank you Jenni and Matt for being so wonderful! We had the best experience with our older lab. Ellie is getting too old to stay at kennels and we are more comfortable having her home where she is familiar and happy. Jenni and Matt stayed with Ellie over the weekend and did an amazing job. They were there frequently, spent lots of time with Ellie, and communicated with us through text and pictures. We are so appreciative of their help and very happy we found people we can trust. We are looking forward to planning more trips and using Jenni and Matt's services.”
About: Hey everyone! My name is Holbert. I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes, from Yorkies and Shih Tzus to Saint Bernards, and I’m just as happy spending time with cats too. I’m a law student, but outside of school I really enjoy being around animals, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient with shy or nervous pets, playful with the energetic ones, and I’ll probably send you way too many funny pictures while you’re gone. I’m also very respectful of your home and your pet’s routine, so you can feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands 😊 My schedule is pretty structured during the week, with work on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 to 5 and classes on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 to 4. Fridays through the weekend, though, I have much more flexibility and can really dedicate my time to walks, drop ins, playtime, and hanging out with your pets. I also do my best to work pet care around my weekday schedule whenever possible, so your pet still gets the attention and consistency they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I try to keep things as comfortable and familiar for them as possible. I follow, feeding schedules, walking routines, house, rules, and any special instructions you leave for me, also making sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m patient with pets who need a little extra time to warm up, and I always pay attention to their personality and comfort level. In a client‘s home, I’m also very respectful of the space. I will always leave things clean and cared for, just as I found them, if not better.
“Our doggo loved spending the weekend with Annie! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures of them adventuring! She was very patient with our dog’s anxious behavior when they first met and helped our dog feel at ease.”
“Jackie was wonderful! She accommodated our request last minute—and sent great pictures of our puppy! If I were to travel to Wilmington again, I would feel very comfortable asking Jackie to help us again!”
“Sarah was wonderful! My dogs clearly loved her and they got lots of snuggles and walks while we were gone. She was also really good about communicating her schedule and sent me daily updates and pictures of the pups. We are looking forward to having her back.”
“Bobbi was 1000% amazing! She was very communicative and put us at ease while we were away knowing our pups were so well cared for all the time. Bobbi sent several photos and took great care of our home. Bobbi left a daily record of events. Our pups were clearly cared for and we will definitely trust Bobbi again! I would give her 10 stars if I could!!”
About: I once fostered a very cute polydatcyl cat named Cleo and enjoyed every moment of having a fur friend around. I did not mind at all the responsibilities involved in her care and wellbeing. It only lasted for a year but I am sure Cleo remembers/misses me as much as I miss her. I respect all forms of life and I aspire to gain trust and experience in my community. I currently have full time availability. I do have extensive professional background working in leadership roles so I am very responsible and have always prioritized humanity over production. I also enjoy cooking in my free time. While in a client's home, I am very observant of hazards and potential causes for problems. My time will be spent fully attentative to the unique care instructions left by the pets family and also will remain acutely aware of the pets wellbeing for the entire duration of my stay. I have foundational knowledge in cat and dog behavior as well as an understanding of appropriate first aid if ever needed.
“Marcelle was wonderful! She took great care of our dog and had great communication during visits. We will definitely use her again and are so glad to have found her! Don't hesitate to book her!”
“Nikki was fantastic. HIGHLY recommend her She was so accommodating and flexible It was obvious that she loved animals and my dog Ozzy was very safe and happy in her care Thank you so much”
“Amanda did a wonderful job with our pups and our house. She is reliable, communicative, and a pleasure to have stay in our home while we are away! Thank you so much, Amanda, for your help with Ruby and Rosie this week!!!!”
“Cole was AMAZING! Took wonderful care of our babies and our home. Great communicator and the house was spotless when we got home. Such a relaxing trip knowing that everything was in good hands!”
About: My home is always filled with love and laughter over our dogs. Jack is 10 yr Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and Peppa is 8 yr Chihuahua. Good nutrition, comfort, care, love and exercise are the keys to our happy dogs. We have repeat clients that walk in like they own the place. Our house is a joyful and safe place for your beloved pets. See gallery, we’ve had some amazing clients! We live in Pike Creek, Crossan Point, and I’d be happy to meet you and your sweet dogs! Hi, I am so excited to meet your furry family member! I have years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog is a high-energy pup who needs a long walk or a senior dog who loves gentle companionship and extra cuddle time, I tailor my care to exactly what they need to feel safe and happy. As a dedicated pet care provider, I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and hands on.. I know how tough it can be to leave your pet, so I always make sure to send plenty of photo updates and keep you informed every step of the way. Your dog's safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I treat every pet like they are my own. I look forward to giving your dog the best care possible while you are away. I will take your instruction on how you’d like me to structure walks, exercise, feeding and meds. The playing and affection part is included. I will help you keep you pet on their routine.
“Karly is very kind and responsible. She took care of all four of my furbabies so well, they really enjoyed spending time with her. She’s respectful of all the house rules as well. I’m completely stress free when she house sits our pups and cats.”
“Amy was great! This was the first time we’ve ever had someone stay at our home to watch our animals (2dogs and a cat) and she was awesome! Definitely recommend.”

Noelle is 10/10 Dogsitter! She stayed in our home for five days and took the BEST care of our energetic cattle dog. She took him on hikes and provided us with so many incredible updates! Our home was left in better condition than we left it! I give the highest recommendation! Noelle is the best of the best 😁
Stephanie was did a wonderful job taking Clara on her long walks and sent lots of pictures. The house was in perfect shape when we returned and we had peace of mind that our dog was well cared for on our first trip away from her. We will definitely book her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 4,731 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Williamhurst. 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 Williamhurst 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 Williamhurst 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 Williamhurst 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.
