“Clarisa was amazing! She was so sweet and took great care of our babies! She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative. We didn’t have to worry about our babies because we knew she was taking great care of them!”
“Heather is an awesome pet sitter! She takes wonderful care of my pup and he enjoys his time with her. Excellent communication and I love receiving pictures and videos while I’m away.”
“Thank you for taking good care of all my kiddos! Having two special needs cats and rats, I always get nervous leaving them. The updates, pictures, and the high quality care allowed me to enjoy my vacation while I knew everyone was in good hands. I can not thank Laura enough and would highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“Daryana did an excellent job taking care of my dog Clover and my home!! Clover took to her immediately, which made. me feel better about leaving for a few days. Daryana communicated every day that I was gone, and when things went awry, she was quick to let me know and come up with a solution. When I got home, it looked like I never left, minus the empty toilet paper roll.”
“We had a great experience with Emma, and will definitely book her again. She spent a lot of time with our dogs, and we appreciated her updates and pictures. The pups definitely did not miss us one bit, and enjoyed long walks with Emma and lots of attention!”
“Brady doesn’t warm up to new people easily, so Amy had quite a challenge from the start. She was incredibly patient, and kept us updated with frequent pictures, which gave us peace of mind. She took Brady on several walks to help calm his nerves. I felt comfortable knowing Brady was in her care, and I’ve already booked Amy again in November. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced pet sitter.”
“Timely communication, knowledgeable and accommodating! Brooklyn saved the day caring for my terriers while I had a family engagement. I was in from out of town and she made sure that my boys were well cared for in a city where I didn’t know anyone. She let me know what was happening, was flexible and kind. I can’t recommend her more highly!”
“Lindsay is fantastic! My dog and cat love her and she gives them all the love. She spent a week in my home caring for them and it was great knowing I did not have to worry about a thing. She provided frequent updates, photos, and asked questions about things I forgot to tell her. She is super sweet and kind!!!! She is definitely my number one pet/house sitter now. 😊”
About: I have bathed, walked, fed, and watched many dogs. I’ve taken care of many different breeds and sizes. I’ve owned 4 dogs including a german shepherd and Boykin spaniels. I also have experience with puppies! I’m a college student currently so I would be able to care for pets before, between, and after classes. I am very reliable and I’m good at communicating! I make sure to maintain a safe and loving environment! I love animals so I will give them the best care! I am very dependable!
About: Growing up surrounded by animals and currently sharing my 2 homes with three dogs and a cat. My house’s are full of different personalities and energy levels, which has taught me how to read an animal’s needs quickly and provide the right kind of care. I know that every animal is different. Whether you have a reactive dog who needs a calm, patient hand or a senior pet who needs a gentle approach and a medication routine, I’m ready to help. From the endless energy of puppies and kittens to the quiet companionship of older pets, I have the experience to make sure your best friend feels safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I’m currently a college student at ECU! I’m home for the summer and have a part time job but schedule is extremely flexible! At home, my pets are family, and their well-being is my top priority. I manage a busy household with three dogs and a cat, which has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of temperaments-from high-energy puppies to calm seniors and even reactive personalities. I take a structured yet affectionate approach to their care, focusing on: • Routine & Reliability: Maintaining consistent feeding schedules and a clean environment. • Mental & Physical Health: Ensuring everyone gets the right amount of exercise and play to stay happy. • Individualized Attention: I'm highly observant of their unique body language, making sure I provide space or engagement exactly when they need it.
About: I have been around the pup stage to the elder just wants to be fed and let alone stage. I can do both and am willing to make sure your baby is the best even when your not around. I have a flexible schedule depending on what you need! I am a little tight on certain days (Thursday-Friday Morning/Early Afternoon). But anything truly! :) I am a big believer in dog therapy so me hanging with your dog brings me joy when I can’t go back home to Raleigh and see mine. I’ll treat them just as I do my own.
About: I have been dog-sitting for neighbors, friends, and family throughout high school, and I always go out of my way to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and safe! I have experience staying in clients' homes, bringing pets to my house, and stopping by for visits or walks. I'm currently a full-time student, but I have lots of gaps between classes in the middle of the day, and all my nights are free. I also have multiple days with no classes, and my weekends are completely free. I make sure that your pets always have my full attention and care. While I'm with them, I make sure they get lots of attention and love. I make sure to play with them and let them out many times throughout a visit. I make sure that I carry out any other tasks exactly as you want me to. I always take time to update you throughout my care.
About: I’ve worked at a pet boarding and grooming facility for the last 2 years, and have done volunteering and sitting previously. I’ve cared for many dogs ranging from 8 weeks to in their late senior years. I have experience with disabled dogs as well as administering medication by mouth. I’m currently working and in school part time, so I have some extra time throughout the week and weekends! I am available any weekday except Wednesdays and Fridays. When I’m not in school or working, I would love to care for your pup! I would follow the feeding instructions, making sure your pup has food and water at all necessary times. I would make sure their space is clean, and that they are let out to use the bathroom periodically. To ensure that your pup is safe and comfortable I would love to know their typical habits and behaviors around your home.
About: I have personally grew up with dogs and find myself very passionate about care and respect for animals! My years of internships experience at a rescue center has allowed me to learn rehab skills, spread owner-responsibility awareness and tips, and have hands-on field work with all different kinds of animals, especially dogs, and cater to all their specialized needs! I additionally have fostered a couple of dogs from my local shelter! We call them staycations. This is where, as fosters, we take a dog from out of the shelter for maybe a week or so to give them some fresh air and some at-home loving! All dogs I have fostered have been happily adopted by their forever-owners! I currently work a part time job so I evidently have plenty of time on my hands to take care of your dogs! With that being said, I don’t have a set schedule that I usually work but I only work 2-3 days a week. During the week, afternoons are best for me, and weekends I have full availability if I’m not working! Please inquire to get more details about my schedule! :) I have interned at a animal care and control center so I find myself pretty well and familiar with all kinds of personalities dogs may have! I am very attentive and well follow any set instructions given for the best care of your pup!

We had a dog sitter booked for our pup over the weekend. Weekend arrives and dog sitter unresponsive! We scramble for help same day and out flies Kiley like a superhero in an over-produced Marvel film. Saved the day clutch, on top of being professional and friendly. Thanks again, Kiley!
Daryana took amazing care of our two dogs, our Lab and our English Bulldog! She was attentive, caring, and made sure our senior boy received his medication exactly as required. We really appreciated the daily photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent from start to finish. We felt completely comfortable knowing our fur babies were in such good hands. We will definitely be reaching out to Yana for our future getaways. Highly recommend her! 🐾❤️
Kimberly and Jodi did a great job house sitting our dog for the first time. He does require some special attention due to his age. He looked great and so did our house. They were easy to say in touch with and sent just the right amount of pictures.! We will call on them again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Winterville on Rover is $39 per night as of October 2026.

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 Winterville 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 Winterville 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 Winterville 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
